TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT
This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into on November 17,
2015 by and between Cogent Energy Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“Contractor”), and Casper Crude to Rail, LLC, a Wyoming limited
liability company (the “Company”). Contractor and the Company may be referred to
herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, on October 12, 2015, Contractor’s Affiliate, Casper Crude to Rail
Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and USDP CCR
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company “Buyer”), entered into a Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement (as amended or otherwise modified, the “Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller agreed to sell all of
the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company to Buyer; and
WHEREAS, prior to the Closing, Contractor operated the Company and provided
certain services with respect to the Company; and
WHEREAS, to effect the orderly transfer of the Company from Seller to Buyer,
Buyer desires that Contractor provide to the Company certain transition services
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1.DEFINITIONS. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized terms in
this Agreement have the meanings given to such terms in the Membership Interest
Purchase Agreement.
1.    SCOPE OF SERVICES. Effective as of the Closing Date, Contractor will
provide to the Company the services described on Exhibit A attached hereto
(each, a “Service” and collectively, the “Services”).
2.    INFORMATION. The Company agrees to provide Contractor in a timely manner
with any information reasonably necessary for Contractor to provide the Services
hereunder.
3.    LIMITATION ON SERVICES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, in no event shall Contractor be obligated hereunder in connection
with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to: (a) unless
otherwise agreed to between the Parties in writing, provide Services that
Contractor did not perform for the Company prior to the Closing Date or perform
any such Services in a manner substantially different from the manner in which
Contractor performed such Services for the Company prior to the Closing Date;
(b) provide any records, information, or data in any form or format except that
in which Contractor currently maintains such records, information, or data;
(c) make modifications to its existing systems or properties; (d) acquire
additional assets, equipment, rights, or properties (including computer
equipment, software, furniture, furnishings, fixtures, machinery, vehicles,
tools and other tangible personal property) that are not in the ordinary course
of operations of Contractor; (e) hire additional employees; (f) pay any costs
related to the transfer or conversion of data from Contractor or its Affiliates
to the Company;

1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or (g) incur any obligations or liabilities, except, in each case, as expressly
set forth in this Agreement or the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company acknowledges that
(a) Contractor is not a professional provider of the types of services included
in the Services; (b) the personnel providing such Services may have other
responsibilities to the business of Contractor and its Affiliates to which said
personnel are required to devote substantial time that may take priority over
the provision of Services from time to time, to the extent consistent with
Contractor’s past practices in such regard; (c) such personnel will not be
dedicated full-time to performing the Services; and (d) certain personnel of
Contractor may leave the employment of Contractor or terminate their employment
or contract with Contractor during the term of this Agreement; provided,
however, that Contractor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
mitigate any interruption in Services resulting from such departures and to
resume as soon as reasonably practicable the Services in the manner agreed
hereunder. The Company acknowledges that all Services to be provided under this
Agreement shall be provided by Contractor to the extent that such Services do
not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business and operations of
Contractor and its Affiliates, to the extent consistent with Contractor’s or
such Affiliate’s past practices, and the loss of any Contractor’s personnel may
materially impede Contractor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.
Except as provided above, Contractor makes no representation or warranty
regarding the ability of Contractor to retain any employees, contractors, or
subcontractors and Contractor shall have no liability as to the result of the
loss of any such employees, contractors, or subcontractors. Contractor shall not
be responsible for the accuracy of any information filed with any governmental
authority or furnished to the Company or to any of the Company’s employees for
inclusion in any reports or for results obtained by use of any inaccurate
information so filed or furnished, except, in each case, to the extent such
information is provided or furnished by Contractor or one of its Affiliates.
4.    STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE. Subject to the terms of this Agreement,
Contractor shall perform, or cause to be performed, the Services in a manner
that is substantially similar in nature, timing and quality, and with the same
degree of skill, prudence and care, as the actions comprising the Services were
previously performed by Contractor in accordance with past practices prior to
the Closing Date; provided, however, in no event shall Contractor have any
obligations or liability hereunder except to the extent expressly set forth
herein. Further, if the Company fails to consent to any reasonable request made
by Contractor hereunder or fails to provide Contractor with any reasonably
necessary information required by Contractor as contemplated in Section 3 above,
Contractor shall be excused from the performance of, and shall bear no liability
associated with, the Services that Contractor sought to perform in connection
with such consent request or that are dependent upon the information requested.
5.    TERMINATION. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the execution
date hereof and will continue thereafter for a period three months (the “Initial
Term”), after which the term of this Agreement shall be extended on a month to
month basis (each a “Renewal Term”); provided that, upon not less than thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Contractor, the Company may terminate the
Services (in whole or in part) as of the expiration of the Initial Term or any
Renewal Term; provided, further, that in no event shall the term of this
Agreement extend beyond the six month anniversary of the date hereof. The
Initial Term and any Renewal Terms are collectively referred to herein as the
“Term”.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.    PAYMENTS. The Company shall pay Contractor a fee of $30,000 per month (the
“Fee”) for performance of the Services hereunder. Contractors shall send the
Company an invoice for the Fee owed by the Company for the Services provided
during the prior calendar month (pro rated for any partial month). No later than
the tenth (10th) Business Day after its receipt of such invoice, the Company
shall pay Contractor the Fee set forth on such invoice. If the Company fails to
pay any amounts owed under this Agreement when due, such amounts shall accrue
interest at an interest rate of the Prime Rate as published from time to time in
the Wall Street Journal plus two percent (2%), or the highest rate permitted by
applicable law, whichever is lower, from the due date until paid. For such time
as any employees of or consultants or subcontractors to Contractor (or any
subcontractor) are providing the Services to Company under this Agreement,
(a) such employees or consultants will remain employees or consultants of
Contractor (or any subcontractor), as applicable, and shall not be deemed to be
employees of or consultants to the Company for any purpose, and (b) Contractor
shall be solely responsible for the payment and provision of all compensation,
wages, bonuses and commissions, employee benefits, including severance and
worker’s compensation, and the withholding and payment of applicable taxes
relating to such employment or engagement.
7.    CONFIDENTIALITY. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of two
(2) years thereafter, Contractor shall, and shall cause each member of the
Contractor Group to, hold in confidence (and not disclose or provide access to
any other Person) and not use, except in each case for the benefit of the
Company and as reasonably required in providing the Services contemplated by
this Agreement, any and all confidential or proprietary information provided by
the Company to the Contractor Group in connection with the Services, whether
written or oral, concerning the Company, except to the extent that Contractor
can show that such information: (i) is generally available to and known by the
public other than as a result of a violation of this Agreement by a member of
the Contractor Group; (ii) was lawfully acquired by a member of the Contractor
Group from and after the Closing Date from sources which are not known to such
member of the Contractor Group to be prohibited from disclosing such information
by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation; or (iii) was independently
developed by a member of the Contractor Group without use of any such
confidential information. If a member of the Contractor Group is compelled to
disclose any such confidential information by judicial or administrative process
or by other requirements of law, such disclosure shall not be a breach of this
Agreement, so long as Contractor promptly notifies the Company in writing (if
legally permissible) and discloses only that portion of such confidential
information which Contractor is advised by its counsel is legally required to be
disclosed; provided, however, that Contractor shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cooperate with the Company, at the sole cost and expense of the
Company, so that the Company may obtain an appropriate protective order or other
reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such
confidential information.
8.    DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER TERMS IN THIS
AGREEMENT, CONTRACTOR MAKES NO, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL,
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, WITH RESPECT TO
THE PERFORMANCE OR RESULTS OF THE SERVICES. FURTHER, CONTRACTOR EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS, AND THE

MEMBER OF THE CONTRACTOR GROUP).
9.    LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY. THE COMPANY HEREBY RELEASES CONTRACTOR, ITS
EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, STOCKHOLDERS, AND CONTRACTORS (INCLUDING THE
EMPLOYEES AND OFFICERS OF SUCH CONTRACTORS) (COLLECTIVELY “CONTRACTOR GROUP”)
FROM, AND SHALL FULLY PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS CONTRACTOR

THE FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF A MEMBER OF THE CONTRACTOR
GROUP.
10.    ASSIGNABILITY. Neither the Company nor Contractor shall assign or
sublease any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the non-assigning Party, except to an Affiliate of the
assigning Party. This restriction shall not affect Contractor’s right to engage
Contractor’s Affiliates and third party contractors and their respective
employees to perform the Services. Except as otherwise provided herein, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and
their respective permitted successors, assigns, and legal representatives.
11.    FORCE MAJEURE.
(a)
If any member of Contractor Group is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by
Force Majeure (as defined in Section 12(c) herein) to carry out its obligations
under this Agreement, Contractor will give the Company written notice of the
Force Majeure as soon as reasonably practicable together with all reasonably
requested information relating thereto; thereupon, the obligations of
Contractor, so far as they are affected by Force Majeure, shall be suspended
during, but no longer than, the continuance of the Force Majeure, and the
Company shall not be required to pay any Fee with respect to such suspended
obligations for the duration of the Force Majeure. Contractor will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to remove the Force Majeure situation as quickly
as practicable.

such Party’s lawful past practices.
