 Dear Mr. Giuliano: 
 On August 24, 2012, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) entered an order confirming the First Amended Plan of Liq-
uidation for Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc. and its Subsidiary Debtors Proposed by Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (as amended, modified, and supplemented, the “Plan”). The Plan became effective on September 24,
2012. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions of this letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), and assuming the
Bankruptcy Court enters an order approving this Letter Agreement (the “Approval Order”), we (or an affiliate designated by us, hereinafter referred to as “we” or “us”) hereby agree to provide to you, in exchange for the
consideration set forth in this Letter Agreement, cash in an amount not to exceed $6,725,000.00 (the “Maximum Advance Amount”) to be used by you, in accordance with the terms hereof, to fund certain expenses solely in connection
with (a) the administration of the Getty Petroleum Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) and the wind down of the estates of Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc., Gasway Inc., Getty Terminals Inc. and PT Petro Corp. (the “Getty
Estates”) and (b) prosecution of (i) litigation against LUKOIL Americas Corp. and/or LUKOIL North America LLC (collectively “Lukoil”) currently pending in the Bankruptcy Court under case numbers 11-ap-02941 and
11-ap-02942 (collectively, the “Existing Lukoil Litigation”) and (ii) any additional lawsuits or claims that you may bring against either (A) Lukoil and/or (B) any officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates
of Lukoil and/or Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc. arising from substantially the same facts, transactions or occurrences as the Existing Lukoil Litigation (together with the Existing Lukoil Litigation, (the “Lukoil Litigation”).

 Advances

  







 On and after the date of this Letter Agreement, you may request from us one or more payments
in immediately available funds (each such payment, an “Advance”) by delivery of a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (such notice, a “Draw Notice”). Such Draw Notice shall state, among other
things, whether the proceeds of the requested Advance are to be used to pay (i) the reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by you in engaging customary expert witnesses in connection with the Lukoil Litigation (any such advance, an
“Expert Witness Advance”), (ii) the reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by you in connection with the administration of the Trust and the wind-down of the Getty Estates, in each case in accordance with the terms of the

reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel incurred by you in connection with the prosecution of the Lukoil Litigation (any such advance, a “Counsel Advance”). Within five (5) business days after our receipt of a Draw
Notice, we shall make an Advance to you in the amount requested; provided, however, that we shall have no obligation to make any requested Advance if: (1) the amount of such requested Advance shall exceed the excess of
(A) the Maximum Advance Amount over (B) the amount of all other Advances made pursuant to this Letter Agreement (such excess, the “Maximum Available Amount”) (in which case our obligation to advance shall be limited to the
Maximum Available Amount); (2) if such requested Advance is an Expert Witness Advance, the amount of such requested Advance shall exceed the excess of (A) the lesser of (x) $725,000.00 and (y) the reasonable, documented and

advance shall be limited to the Expert Witness Available Amount); (3) if such requested Advance is a Wind-Down Advance, the amount of such requested Advance shall exceed the excess of (A) the least of (x) $800,000.00, (y) the
reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by you in connection with the administration of the Trust and wind-down of the Getty Estates, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement (including, without
limitation, reasonable payroll expenses and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Giuliano, Miller & Company LLC, but excluding (A) any and all fees, costs and expenses that may be paid with the proceeds of the Expert
Witness Advances and the Counsel Advances and (B) any and all fees, costs and expenses of counsel) having accrued as of the date on which the applicable Draw Notice was delivered and without consideration of whether such fees, costs and
expenses have been paid and (z) the amount of such fees, costs and expenses set forth on a budget, acceptable to each of you and us in such party’s sole discretion (such budget, the “Budget”), through the date on which the
applicable Draw Notice was delivered (it being understood that, in the absence of a mutually agreed Budget, this amount shall be $0) over (B) the amount of all other Wind-Down Advances made pursuant to this Letter Agreement (such excess, the
“Wind-Down Available Amount”) (in which case our obligation to advance shall be limited to the Win-Down Available Amount); (4) if such requested Advance is a Counsel Advance, the amount of such requested Advance shall exceed
the excess of (A) the lesser of (x) $5,200,000.00 (the 
  

  
 - 2 -









 “Counsel Maximum Amount”) and (y) the reasonable, documented and invoiced fees, costs
and expenses of counsel incurred by you in connection with the Lukoil Litigation having accrued as of the date on which the applicable Draw Notice was delivered and without consideration of whether such fees, costs and expenses have been paid over
(B) the amount of all other Counsel Advances made pursuant to this Letter Agreement (such excess, the “Counsel Available Amount”) (in which case our obligation to advance shall be limited to the Counsel Available Amount”);
(5) the amount of such requested Advance is less than $20,000.00; (6) the applicable Draw Notice is delivered to us on or after the date that is the earlier of (x) twenty (20) days prior to the Maturity Date (as defined below) or
(y) on or after the Initial Payment Date (as defined below); or (7) you have breached any of your obligations under this Letter Agreement and such breach is continuing. 

Expert Witness Advances & Wind-Down Advances 
 You may use the proceeds of the Expert Witness Advances solely to pay the reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by you in engaging customary expert witnesses in connection with the Lukoil
Litigation. You may use the proceeds of the Wind-Down Advances solely to pay the reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by you in connection with the administration of the Trust and the wind-down of the Getty Estates, in each case in
accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement (including, without limitation, reasonable payroll expenses and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Giuliano, Miller & Company LLC, but excluding
(A) any and all fees, costs and expenses that may be paid with the proceeds of the Expert Witness Advances and the Counsel Advances and (B) any and all fees, costs and expenses of counsel) in accordance with the Budget; provided,
however, that (i) no more than $300,000.00 of the proceeds of the Wind-Down Advances may be used to pay any fees of Alfred T. Giuliano, as Liquidating Trustee, or Giuliano, Miller & Company LLC (collectively, the
“Trustee Fees”) and (ii) no proceeds of the Wind-Down Advances may be used to pay Trustee Fees in excess of the amount of Trustee Fees that have accrued on an hourly basis. 

The Expert Witness Advances and the Wind-Down Advances shall bear interest at an an- nual rate equal to fifteen percent (15%) (the
“Interest Rate”). On the first day of each calendar month, all accrued interest shall be capitalized and added to the outstanding principal amount of the Expert Witness Advances or the Wind-Down Advances, as applicable. All accrued
and capitalized interest shall, after being so capitalized, be treated as part of the principal amount of such Advance and bear interest at the Interest Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any breach by you of your obligations
under this Letter Agreement, we may send you a notice of such breach (a “Default Notice”). If such breach is not cured by the date that is ten (10) days after the date on which such Default Notice was delivered (the
“Increment Date”), all Expert Witness Advances and Wind-Down Advances shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Interest Rate plus four percent (4%) (additional interest resulting from such increased interest
rate, “Default Interest”) from the Increment Date until such breach is cured. 
 The entire unpaid principal
amount (including capitalized interest) of the Expert Witness Advances and the Wind-Down Advances, together with all accrued and unpaid interest payable thereon, shall be due and payable on the date (the “Initial Payment Date”) that
is the earliest of the following: (i) the date which is two (2) years from the date of this Letter Agreement (the “Maturity Date”), subject to permitted and mandatory prepayment; provided that, upon your 

 

  
 - 3 -









 written request (such request to be delivered prior to the Maturity Date and on or after the date that is
twenty (20) days prior to the Maturity Date) and our prior written consent thereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Maturity Date shall be extended to the date which is three (3) years from the date of this
Letter Agreement; (ii) the date that is five (5) business days after the first date on which you receive any proceeds of the Lukoil Litigation and (iii) the date of any acceleration by reason of your breach of this Letter Agreement,
as hereinafter provided. All payments and prepayments on the Expert Witness Advances and the Wind-Down Advances shall be applied first to accrued, unpaid and uncapitalized interest and then to principal (including capitalized interest). 

You may repay the Expert Witness Advances and the Wind-Down Advances, in whole or in part, at any time in increments of not less than
$50,000.00 on not less than five (5) business days’ written notice to us. No amount of Expert Witness Advances or Wind-Down Advances that has been repaid may be reborrowed. 

Counsel Advances 
 You may use the proceeds of the Counsel Advances solely to pay the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel incurred by you in connection with the Lukoil Litigation. 

In consideration for the making of the Counsel Advances, we shall be entitled to receive from you the greater of (1) twenty-four
percent (24%) of the gross proceeds obtained in connection with the Lukoil Litigation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any damage or other awards or recoveries paid by or on behalf of any defendants in the Lukoil Litigation and any
proceeds arising from any settlement of the Lukoil Litigation (including, in each case and for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts paid by any providers of insurance to or on behalf of any defendants in the Lukoil Litigation)) and (2) the
aggregate amount of the Counsel Advances plus interest, calculated as if such Counsel Advances were Expert Witness Advances (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Default Interest, if applicable) (the greater of the amounts described in
clauses (1) and (2), the “Payment Amount”). 
 Such Payment Amount shall be due and payable by you to us
in immediately available funds on the Initial Payment Date. If, on any date on or after the date on which you first received proceeds in connection with the Lukoil Litigation, you receive any additional proceeds in con- nection with the Lukoil
Litigation, you shall pay to us in immediately available funds on the date which is five (5) business days after the date of such receipt of additional proceeds (each such date, a “Subsequent Payment Date”) an amount equal to
the difference between (A) the Payment Amount calculated as of such Subsequent Payment Date and without giving effect to any repayment of the Counsel Advances on the Initial Payment Date or any previous Subsequent Payment Date and (B) the
aggregate amount of payments made by you to us in respect of the Counsel Advances prior to such Subsequent Payment Date. You may not prepay the Counsel Advances. 
 Security & Limited Recourse 
 To induce us to make the Advances,
and subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, you hereby grant to us, as security for the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of your obligations under this Letter Agreement, a continuing

  

  
 - 4 -









 first priority lien and security interest in and to all of the Collateral (as defined below). For purposes
of this Letter Agreement, all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by you, or in which you now have or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest, wherever located, is collectively referred to
as the “Collateral”: (a) all of your right, title and interest in and to (but not any of your obligations, liabilities or indemnifications under) the Lukoil Litigation and any and all claims at issue therein; and (b) any
recoveries or proceeds with respect to any of the foregoing. 
 Upon execution of this Letter Agreement and your obtaining
rights in the Collateral, this Letter Agreement and the Approval Order (as defined below) shall create – without further need of any Uniform Commercial Code filings – a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable
Uniform Commercial Code) in and lien upon the Collateral in favor of us, on the terms set forth in this Letter Agreement and the Approval Order. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or any failure on the part of any party hereto to take
any action, the liens and security interests granted herein shall be deemed valid, enforceable and perfected by entry of the Approval Order. No financing statement, notice of lien, mortgage, deed of trust or similar instrument in any jurisdiction or
filing office need be filed or any other action taken in order to validate and perfect the liens and security interests granted by or pursuant to this Letter Agreement or the Approval Order. Notwithstanding the above, you authorize us, our counsel
and our other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, amendments to financing statements, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in
such offices as we reasonably determine appropriate to perfect the security interests granted under this Letter Agreement, and such financing statements and amendments may describe the Collateral covered thereby. You hereby also authorize us, our
counsel and our other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file continuation statements with respect to previously filed financing statements. A photographic or other reproduction of this Letter Agreement shall be sufficient as a
financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. 
 You
shall maintain the security interest created by this Letter Agreement as a perfected security interest having at least the priority described above and shall defend such security interest and such priority against the claims and demands of all
persons. 
 During the continuance of any breach of your obligations hereunder, we may exercise, in addition to all other rights
and remedies granted to us in this Letter Agreement, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we, without demand of
performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon you or any other person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are
hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver any Collateral (or
contract to do any of the foregoing), in public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker’s board or any of our offices or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as we may deem advisable and at such prices as we may deem best, for
cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. We shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law, 

 

  
 - 5 -









 upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of
any right or equity of redemption held by you, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. You further agree, at our request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to us at places that we shall reasonably select, whether at your
premises or elsewhere. We shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by us, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any
way relating to the Collateral or our rights hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of your obligations hereunder, in such order as this Letter Agreement shall prescribe, and only
after such application and after the payment by us of any other amount required by any provision of law, shall we be required to account for the surplus, if any, to you. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you waive all claims, damages and
demands you may acquire against us arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given
at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. 
 If you fail to perform or comply with any of your agreements
contained herein, we, at our option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. Our expenses incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this
paragraph and the immediately preceding paragraph, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Expert Witness Advances under this Letter Agreement, from the date
of payment by us to the date reimbursed by you, shall be payable by you to us on demand. You hereby ratify all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this
Letter Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Letter Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Letter Agreement, in the event of foreclosure upon the Collateral, we shall not be entitled to retain any portion of the Collateral or the proceeds thereof
in excess of your obligations to us under this Letter Agreement. 
 Except as specifically provided in this Letter Agreement,
any judgment in any action or proceeding in respect of your obligations under this Letter Agreement (other than the Supplemental Obligations (as defined below)) shall be enforceable against you only to the extent of your interest in the Collateral
and, if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral by us are insufficient to pay all of your obligations under this Letter Agreement (other than the Supplemental Obligations) in full, we agree that we shall not sue for, seek or
demand any deficiency judgment against you in any such action or proceeding. 
 The provisions of the immediately preceding
paragraph shall not: (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation arising under, evidenced by or secured pursuant to this Letter Agreement; (b) impair our right to name you as a party defendant in any action or
proceeding for foreclosure and sale under this Letter Agreement; (c) impair the enforcement of this Letter Agreement; (d) constitute a prohibition against our seeking a deficiency judgment against you in order to fully realize the security
granted by this Letter Agreement or our commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order to exercise our remedies against the Collateral; 

 

  
 - 6 -









 or (e) constitute a waiver of our right to enforce your liability and obligations under the terms of
the Letter Agreement, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual out- of-pocket loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by us (including, without limitation, fees, costs and expenses of counsel)
arising out of or in connection with any of the following: (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by you in connection with this Letter Agreement; (ii) misappropriation or conversion by you of all or any portion of the Collateral or
the proceeds of any Advances; (iii) your undertaking of any Required Consent Action without our prior written approval or Bankruptcy Court approval; (iv) any intentional waste by you of the Collateral; (v) your impeding our exercise
of remedies other than through the assertion of a valid defense; or (vi) the Supplemental Obligations. 
 Operations

 You shall not undertake any of the following without our prior written approval: (i) withdraw, dismiss, settle or
compromise all or any portion of the Lukoil Litigation; (ii) sell, lease, transfer, loan, invest or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral; or (iii) grant any liens, charges, pledges or encumbrances on all or any portion
of the Collateral (collectively, the “Required Consent Actions”). 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, you shall not be required to obtain our approval under the immediately preceding paragraph, if, after reasonable notice and an opportunity for a hearing, you receive Bankruptcy Court approval to take such action. 

Supplemental Obligations 
 All of your obligations listed under the heading “Supplemental Obligations” shall be referred to in this Letter Agreement as the “Supplemental Obligations”. 

Each of the parties hereto agrees that we shall dispose of any remaining Gasoline Inventory (as defined in the Stipulation and Order)
currently in our possession in accordance with a plan of disposition reasonably acceptable to you and us. We agree that we shall promptly turn over all proceeds of such disposition to you for distribution in accordance with the terms of the Plan
(net of any and all costs (including, without limitation, any and all costs of compliance with any law, any governmental rule or regulation or any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government) incurred arising out of, related
to or in connection with such disposition). Upon the execution of this Letter Agreement, you shall be deemed to have forever waived, released, acquitted and discharged us and all of our current, former or future officers, directors, employees,
stockholders, agents, servants, assigns, successors, predecessors, representatives, members, financial advisors, industry experts/advisors, attorneys, trustees, partners, subsidiaries, parent entities and affiliates from any and all claims, demands,
debts, objections to claims, obligations, damages, losses or liabilities whatsoever of any nature, type or description, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, concealed or hidden, direct or indirect, patent or latent, or fixed or
contingent, arising out of or relating to any cause, matter or thing from the beginning of time pertaining in any way to the Gasoline Inventory; provided, however, that such release shall not affect your ability to assert the rights
set forth in this paragraph.

 To the extent provided for in the Stipulation and Order,1 you agree to turn over to us, promptly upon your receipt thereof, all
insurance proceeds relating to the property described on Schedule II hereto and all fixtures, facilities, other improvements or other property of any kind located thereon. You further agree that you shall use best efforts to cause Cambridge
Petroleum Holdings Inc. (or any other party entitled to deliver instructions to any applicable insurance carrier) to deliver instructions directing delivery of such proceeds to us to all applicable insurance providers and to provide evidence of such
instructions to us. 
 In accordance with the terms of the Stipulation and Order, you further agree to assign to us any right,
title and interest in any and all insurance policies affecting the Premises (as that term is defined in the Stipulation and Order) pertaining to any environmental liability of any kind. To the extent that, as a result of claims that we may assert
against such policies, the limits of such policies are exhausted prior to the reimbursement in full of other claimants (including you) against such policies, we shall pay to you an amount such that, after distribution of such amount to such other
claimants, all claimants (including us and you) against each such policy will receive equal reimbursement on a pro rata basis for all bona fide claims against such policy; provided that we shall not setoff any amounts due to you pursuant to
this paragraph against any amounts owed by you to us (other than amounts owed in respect of the Getty Realty Superpriority Claim). 
 You further agree promptly (i) to sell to us, pursuant to an agreement to be agreed upon by each of you and us, the properties listed on Schedule III hereto for a purchase price of $185,000.00
and (ii) to seek Bankruptcy Court approval of such sale; provided, however, that we may choose not to purchase any or all of such properties in our sole discretion; provided further that, upon exercising our right not to
purchase any or all of such properties, the purchase price shall be reduced by the portion of the purchase price attributable to such properties. For the avoidance of doubt, you may choose to accept a higher and better offer prior to the approval of
such sale by the Bankruptcy Court, and for the further avoidance of doubt, the sale will only take place after a hearing held (and, to the extent any other party submits a higher and better offer, auction process conducted) in accordance with
section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 Miscellaneous

aspect of the Lukoil Litigation other than the Existing Lukoil Litigation in the absence of an increase in the Counsel Maximum Amount in an amount acceptable to each party to this Letter Agreement in their sole discretion. 

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Letter Agreement shall be construed to modify, abridge or enhance, in any way, the terms and
conditions of the Stipulation and Order.

Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Letter Agreement. All amounts due under this paragraph shall be due and payable upon written demand therefor.

 This Letter Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile or pdf copy of a signature of a party hereto shall have the same effect and validity as an original signature. 

This Letter Agreement may be amended only by means of a writing signed by each party hereto. 

All representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other provisions made by the parties shall be considered to have been relied
upon by the parties, shall (as to representations and warranties) be true and correct as of the date hereof, and shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this Letter Agreement. 

Whenever in this Letter Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and
permitted assigns of such party and all covenants and agreements by and on behalf of such party that are contained in this Letter Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party
hereto may assign or delegate any rights, interests, duties or obligations hereunder without the express prior written consent of the other party hereto (which such consent shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of such other party hereto) and
any attempted assignment or delegation without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that we may assign any or all of our rights, interests, duties or obligations hereunder to any of our affiliates or successors in
interest without your consent. 
 Each party hereto represents and warrants that (i) it is a sophisticated party, with such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of consummating the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) it has been solely responsible for the analysis of the merits and
risks of entering into this Letter Agreement and of the fairness and desirability of the terms of this Letter Agreement and, except as expressly set forth herein, has not relied on any information provided by the other party or any affiliate or
agent of the other party (or the fact that no such information has been provided) in deciding whether or on what terms and conditions to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS
OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT SHALL BE LITIGATED IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, HEREBY WAIVING ANY DEFENSE OF IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS TO THE MAINTENANCE OF ANY PROCEEDING THEREIN, AND THAT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT HAS
AUTHORITY TO ENTER FINAL ORDERS WITH RESPECT THERETO. EACH OF THE PARTIES

HERETO WAIVES THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT, AND FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED
THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL. Each party hereto consents to service of process by certified mail at its address set forth below. Each of the parties has jointly participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Letter Agreement. In the
event an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Letter Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by each of the parties and no presumptions or burdens of proof will arise favoring any party by virtue of the
authorship of any of the provisions hereof. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Letter Agreement, the
interest paid or agreed to be paid under this Letter Agreement shall not exceed the maximum rate of nonusurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If we shall receive interest (including any charges, fees,
payments or other consideration which, under applicable law, are properly characterized as interest) in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall automatically be deemed to be and shall be applied to the principal of the
Advances or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to you. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by us exceeds the Maximum Rate, we may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any
payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of
interest throughout the contemplated term of this Letter Agreement. For purposes of determining compliance with applicable law, all Advances shall be considered to be a single, integrated transaction and it shall be understood that (A) we would
not have agreed to provide any Expert Witness Advances absent agreement to provide Counsel Advances on the terms set forth herein and (B) we would not have agreed to provide any Counsel Advances absent agreement to provide Expert Witness
Advances on the terms set forth herein. 
 Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Letter Agreement shall affect
in any way any of your obligations to us and/or any of our affiliates set forth in the Plan or any other agreement in effect on the date hereof. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, Alfred T. Giuliano is executing this Letter Agreement solely in his capacity as Liquidating Trustee of the Trust and not in his individual capacity. In respect of your
obligations hereunder, we shall have recourse only to the assets of the Trust (and not to assets held by Alfred T. Giuliano or Giuliano, Miller & Company LLC in their respective individual capacities).
