 AGREEMENT 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and agreements set forth below the parties
hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Term of Employment. Subject to the provisions of Section 8, Executive’s
employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall commence on December 17, 2012 (the “Start Date”) and shall continue under this Agreement until December 17, 2013 (the “Stated Term”) on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; provided, that the Stated Term automatically shall be renewed by successive one-year periods (each, a “Renewal Period”) unless either party notifies the other
party at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the then applicable Stated Term that the Stated Term shall not be renewed beyond the expiration of such then applicable Stated Term (the “Non-Renewal Notice”). The Stated Term
including any Renewal Period may also be terminated prior to the expiration thereof in accordance with Section 8; provided that the provisions of Sections 9, 10 and 11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement or Executive’s
termination of employment hereunder. The term “Employment Term” means the period from the Start Date until the expiration or termination of the Stated Term (including any applicable Renewal Period) pursuant to this Section 1.








 2. Position. 

(a) At the start of the Employment Term, Executive shall serve as the Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer of the Company and
its direct and indirect parents (including PBF Energy Inc.), subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “PBF Companies”) as his primary occupation. Executive shall also serve in such positions for the PBF Companies as determined
by the Board of Directors of PBF Energy Inc. (the “Board”), provided however, the only compensation paid to Executive shall be through this Agreement. In such positions, Executive shall have such duties and authority that are
customary for those positions of companies of the size, type and nature of the Company. Executive acknowledges that during the Employment Term, he may spend a significant amount of his time traveling for purposes of Company business. Executive
acknowledges that as an exempt member of management he will neither be paid for any overtime or excess time for hours exceeding the regular working hours per week nor for additional time for weekend work. The base salary of Executive as set forth in
this Agreement covers the remuneration of any extra hours or weekend work. 
 (b) Executive shall devote an appropriate amount
of time and energy to the business and affairs of the PBF Companies and shall not be engaged in any other business activity, whether or not such business activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage, unless the Company consents
to Executive’s involvement in such business activity in writing. In addition, this restriction shall not be construed as preventing Executive from investing his assets in a form or manner that will not require Executive’s services in the
operation of any of the companies in which such investments are made. Executive may also serve on boards of directors and other positions with non-profit and for-profit organizations as to which the Board may from time to time consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, so long as such service does not materially interfere with Executive’s obligations hereunder or violate Sections 9 and 10 hereof. 

3. Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary at the annual rate of $450,000,
payable in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s usual payment practices. Executive shall be entitled to such increases in Executive’s base salary, if any, as may be determined from time to time in the sole discretion of
the Board. Executive’s annual rate of base salary, as in effect from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Salary.” 
 4. Annual Bonus. With respect to each calendar year of the Company ending during the Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus award (an “Annual
Bonus”) in accordance with the cash incentive compensation plan of the PBF Companies on the same basis as those awards are generally made available to other senior executives of the Company. The cash incentive compensation plan and any
amounts thereunder to be paid to Executive shall be determined in the discretion of the Board. Any Annual Bonus earned in respect of a calendar year shall be paid in a cash lump sum no later than March 15 of the following calendar year.

 5. Incentive Programs. Executive has the option of investing in the PBF Companies and the terms of any such
investment are set forth in separate agreements between Executive and applicable PBF Companies. Executive shall also be entitled to grants of equity-

  
 -2-









 
based compensation (“Equity Awards”) under any incentive compensation program that may be adopted by the Board on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to
other senior executives of the Company. Any such grants shall be made at the discretion of the Board and the terms of such grants shall be set forth in the Long Term Incentive plan documents. 

6. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans
(which term does not include bonus or incentive compensation plans) in which employees of the Company are eligible to participate (other than any severance pay plan generally offered to all employees of the Company) as in effect from time to time
(collectively “Employee Benefits”), on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to other senior executives of the Company. 
 7. Business Expenses. 
 During the Employment Term, reasonable
business expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder shall be reimbursed by the Company in accordance with Company policy following presentation by Executive of proof of such expenses. All business travel
accommodations shall be first class. The Company shall reimburse reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of Executive’s duties promptly, but in any case no later than the end of the year following the year in which
such expenses are incurred. 
 8. Termination. The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may
be terminated by the Company or by Executive at any time and for any reason. Upon any termination of Executive’s employment during the Employment Term or any annual non-renewal, the Employment Term shall automatically terminate. Upon
termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive agrees to resign as of the date of such termination and, to the extent applicable, from any boards (and committees thereof) of the PBF Companies or any of their affiliates. If the
Executive is terminated by the Company for Cause, such termination shall be effective immediately. Executive shall give 30 days’ written notice to the Company in accordance with Section 12(g) hereof in the event Executive intends to
terminate his employment without Good Reason. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than Section 12(h)), the provisions of this Section 8 shall exclusively govern Executive’s rights upon termination of
employment with the Company and its affiliates. 
 (a) Termination For Cause; Without Good Reason; Non-Renewal by
Executive. Upon termination of Executive’s employment hereunder (x) by the Company for Cause or (y) by Executive without Good Reason, including due to Executive’s election not to renew the Employment Term, Executive shall
be entitled to receive: 
 (i) accrued, but unpaid Base Salary, earned through the date of termination;

 (ii) any Annual Bonus earned but unpaid as of the date of termination for any previously completed fiscal
year; and 

  
 -3-









 (iii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred
by Executive in accordance with this Agreement prior to the date of Executive’s termination; and 
 (iv)
such Employee Benefits, if any, as to which Executive may be entitled pursuant to the terms governing such Employee Benefits; and 
 (v) the right to exercise any vested Equity Awards in accordance with the terms set forth in any Long Term Incentive plan documents; 

(collectively, the “Accrued Rights”) and, following such termination of Executive’s employment and payment by the Company
of the Accrued Rights, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement, except as set forth under provisions of this Agreement under which future benefits may be provided, under any other
agreements as referenced above in Sections 5 and 6 and any Long Term Incentive compensation program. Amounts payable under (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall be paid no later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the
year of Executive’s termination of employment. 
 (b) Disability or Death. Executive’s employment
hereunder shall terminate upon Executive’s death and may be terminated by the Company if Executive becomes physically or mentally incapacitated and is therefore unable for a period of six consecutive months or for an aggregate of nine months in
any twenty-four consecutive month period to perform Executive’s duties (such incapacity is hereinafter referred to as “Disability”). Any question as to the existence of the Disability of Executive as to which Executive and the
Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to Executive and the Company. If Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a
physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability by such physician made in writing to the Company and Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of
this Agreement. Upon termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for either death or Disability, Executive or Executive’s estate, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive: 

(i) the Accrued Rights; 
 (ii) a pro rata portion of Executive’s target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which Executive’s termination occurs, calculated as the total amount of such target Annual Bonus for the full
year multiplied by the number of months or partial months of Executive’s employment during the year of Executive’s termination divided by 12, payable pursuant to Section 4 as if Executive’s employment had not terminated;
provided, in the event of Executive’s termination on account of Disability, Executive has executed and delivered (and not revoked) the Release (as hereinafter defined) within the time period specified in Section 12(h); and 

  
 -4-









 (iii) a cash lump sum payment equal to the greater of (A) one-half of
Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the date of Executive’s termination, or (B) one-half of the aggregate amount of Base Salary that Executive would have received had the Employment Term continued until the end date specified in
Section 1 hereof, payable on the 60th day following the date of Executive’s death or termination on account of Disability; provided, in the event of Executive’s termination on account of Disability, Executive has executed and
delivered (and not revoked) the Release within the time period specified in Section 12(h). 
 (iv) Following
such termination of Executive’s employment and, if required, payment of the amounts set forth in this Section 8(b), neither Executive nor Executive’s estate, as applicable, shall have any further rights to any compensation or any
other benefits under this Agreement, except as set forth under provisions of this Agreement under which future benefits may be provided, under any other agreements as referenced above in Section 5 and any Long Term Incentive compensation
program. 
 (c) Termination In Other Circumstances. If Executive’s employment is terminated at any time
(x) during the Employment Term (other than 6 months’ prior to or within one year subsequent to the consummation of a Change in Control) (I) without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability) by the Company, or (II) for Good
Reason by Executive or (y) due to the Company’s election not to renew the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to receive: 
 (i) the Accrued Rights; 
 (ii) a cash lump sum payment equal to 1.5
times Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the date of termination, payable on the 60th day following the date of Executive’s termination of employment; provided, however, that receipt of such amount will be subject to Executive
executing and delivering (and not revoking) the Release on or prior to the 21st day or the 45th day, as applicable, following the date on which his employment with the Company terminates and he is given an execution version of the Release; and

 (iii) continuation for a period of 1 year and 6 months of Executive’s and his dependent’s health
(medical, dental and vision) benefits if Executive was enrolled in such benefits at the time of termination and otherwise remains eligible for such benefits and continues to pay the Executive’s portion of the monthly cost of such benefits,
provided, that at the end of such 1 year and 6 month period of benefit continuation, as long as the Company will not be subject to any taxes, fines or penalties under applicable law as a result thereof, Executive shall then be entitled to the full
period of benefits then allowed under COBRA at Executive’s sole expense. 
 Following such termination of Executive’s
employment and, if required, payment of the amounts set forth in this Section 8(c), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement, except as set forth under provisions of this Agreement
under which future benefits may be provided, under any other agreements as referenced above in Section 5 and any Long Term Incentive compensation program.

Specific Performance. Executive acknowledges and agrees that remedies at law available to the Company for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Sections 9 or 10 would be inadequate and the Company would suffer
irreparable damages as a result of such breach or threatened breach. In recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company without posting any bond,
shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

(l) Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state and local
taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
 (m) Indemnification, Insurance
and Related Matters. During the Employment Term and for so long as there exists potential for liability thereafter with regard to the Executive’s activities during the Employment Term on behalf of the PBF Companies (regardless of
whether as an employee, officer, or member of the Board or in any other capacity on behalf of the PBF Companies), the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Executive on terms and conditions no less favorable than any of the PBF
Companies provides at any time during the Employment Term or afterwards to its other executive officers and members of the Board. During the Employment Term and for six (6) years thereafter, the Executive shall be entitled, at the
Company’s expense, to the same directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that any of the PBF Companies provides generally to its other executive officers and members of the Board, as may be amended from time to time,
provided that such insurance coverage following the Employment Term shall be on terms and conditions no less favorable to

the Executive than those in effect at the expiration or termination of the Employment Term. The rights provided by this Section 12(m) shall be in addition to any other rights to which
Executive may be entitled under any of the organizational documents of any of the PBF Companies, any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the holders of equity interests or securities of any of the PBF Companies, as a matter of law or otherwise.

 (n) Section 409A. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no payments contemplated by this Agreement will be paid
during the six-month period following the Executive’s termination of employment if the Company determines, in its good faith judgment, that paying such amounts at the time or times contemplated by this Agreement would cause the Executive to
incur an additional tax under Section 409A (in which case such amounts shall be paid at the time or times indicated in this Section 12(n)). If the payment of any amounts are delayed as a result of the previous sentence, (i) the
Company will create a U.S. irrevocable grantor trust with the funds to be held for the benefit of the Executive, known as a “rabbi trust” and contribute to it any amounts subject to the delay as soon as is practicable, and (ii) on the
first business day following the earlier of Executive’s death or the end of the six-month period, the Company will pay Executive a lump sum amount equal to the amounts that would have otherwise been previously paid to Executive under this
Agreement during such six-month period, plus accrued interest on such amounts at a rate of 4.5% per annum for the period beginning on the date of Executive’s termination of employment through the payment date. Thereafter, payments will
resume in accordance with this Agreement. 
 (ii) It is the intent of the Company that the provisions of this
Agreement comply with Section 409A. Accordingly, the parties intend that this Agreement be interpreted and operated consistent with such requirements of Section 409A to avoid application of penalty taxes under Section 409A to the
extent reasonably practicable. In the event that following the Start Date the Company or Executive reasonably determines that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement may be subject to Section 409A, the Company and Executive
shall work together to attempt to reach mutual agreement to adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies or procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other commercially
reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to (x) exempt the compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement from Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the compensation and benefits provided with respect to
this Agreement or (y) comply with the requirements of Section 409A, provided however, without Executive’s consent the economic benefit to Executive may not be diminished, reduced or delayed, and the Company is not required to take any
action under this sentence other than that specially provided herein, and provided, further that neither the Company nor any of its employees or representatives shall have any liability to Executive with respect thereto. In addition, the Executive
may (but shall not be entitled to) become the beneficiary of a separate indemnity agreement with the Company related to certain liabilities for taxes, including those arising under Section 409A. 

  
 -13-









 (iii) All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(l)(iv) such that any reimbursements or in-kind benefits will be deemed payable at a specified time or on a fixed schedule relative to a permissible payment
event. Specifically, (A) the amounts reimbursed and in-kind benefits under this Agreement, other than with respect to medical benefits provided under Sections 6 and 8, during Executive’s taxable year may not affect the amounts reimbursed
or in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year, (B) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred, and
(C) the right to reimbursement or an in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment made under this Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment”
within the meaning of Section 409A. 
 (o) Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each
of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
