TAX MATTERS

Section 7.1    Tax Treatment and Related Covenants.  
(a)    Immediately prior to the Closing, the Partnership shall borrow an amount equal to the Borrowed Funds under indebtedness that constitutes a PBF Recourse Liability in a manner such that the Borrowed Funds Distribution is allocable to the proceeds of such borrowing pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-5(b)(1) and Temporary Treasury Regulation 1.163-8T (such borrowing, and any “refinancing” of such borrowing treated as the liability it refinances pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-5(c), the “Transaction Debt”, and together with all other indebtedness of the Partnership that constitutes a PBF Recourse Liability, the “Partnership Debt”).
(b)    The Parties intend that the transactions described in this Agreement are properly characterized as transactions described in Sections 721(a) and 731 of the Code and agree to file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such treatment. The Cash Distribution shall be treated (A) as a “debt-financed transfer” to PBF Energy  under Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-5(b) to the extent the Borrowed Funds Distribution is traceable under the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-8T to PBF Energy’s allocable share, determined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-5(b)(2), of Partnership Debt and (B) as a reimbursement of PBF Energy’s preformation expenditures with respect to the Toledo Tank Farm Assets within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-4(d) to the extent of the Proceeds Distribution.
(c)    For a period of four  (4) years following the Closing Date, the Parties shall ensure (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to ensure) that PBF Energy’s “allocable share” of (i) the Transaction Debt will not be less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Transaction Debt outstanding immediately after the Closing and (ii) the Partnership Debt will not be less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Partnership Debt outstanding immediately after the Closing.  
(d)    PBF Energy will maintain a net value (as determined pursuant to the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2(k)(2), applying those principles as if PBF Energy were a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes) that is not less than the principal amount of Partnership Debt outstanding immediately after the Closing, which amount will be reduced by principal payments by Partnership on such indebtedness and which amount will not be increased by any new borrowings by the Partnership.
(e)    The Parties shall act at all times in a manner consistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1, except with the prior written consent of PBF Energy or as otherwise required by applicable Law following a final determination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a Governmental Authority with competent jurisdiction.
Section 7.2    Assistance and Cooperation.  PBF Energy and the Partnership agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance relating to the Toledo Tank Farm Assets as is reasonably requested by PBF Energy, the Partnership or any Affiliate for the filing of any Tax Returns, for the preparation of any audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any Tax claim.  The party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-

28






pocket expenses incurred in providing such assistance.  Any information obtained under this Section 7.2 shall be held confidential by the receiving party in the same manner as it holds confidential its own similar information, except (i) as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding or (ii) with the consent of PBF Energy and the Partnership.
Section 7.3    Tax Allocation and Indemnification.  Except as provided in Section 7.5, PBF Energy shall retain responsibility for (and shall be entitled to any refunds with respect to), and shall indemnify the Partnership for, all Taxes related to the Toledo Tank Farm Assets attributable to taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Period”), and the Partnership shall assume responsibility for (and shall be entitled to any refunds with respect to), and shall indemnify PBF Energy for, all Taxes related to the Toledo Tank Farm Assets attributable to taxable periods beginning after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Period”).  In the case of any Taxes related to the Toledo Tank Farm Assets that are payable for any taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (any “Tax Straddle Period”), the portion of such Taxes attributable to the period of time prior to the Closing Date (a) in the case of any property, ad valorem, or similar Taxes, shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Tax Straddle Period, and (b) in the case of all other Taxes, shall be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable as computed on an interim closing-of-the-books basis if the relevant Tax period ended at the close of business on the Closing Date.  PBF Energy shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Partnership and the Partnership for, all Taxes related to the Toledo Tank Farm Assets with respect to the portion of any Tax Straddle Period prior to the Closing Date.  The Partnership shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify PBF Energy for all Taxes related to the Toledo Tank Farm Assets with respect to the portion of any Tax Straddle Period after the Closing Date.
Section 7.4    Filing of Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes.  Except as otherwise provided, regardless of which party is responsible for Taxes under this Section 7.4, PBF Energy shall handle payment to the appropriate Governmental Authority of all Taxes with respect to any Pre-Closing Period (and shall file all such Tax Returns), and the Partnership shall handle payment to the appropriate Governmental Authority of all Taxes with respect to any Post-Closing Period (and shall file all such Tax Returns).  PBF Energy shall deliver to the Partnership within thirty (30) days of filing copies of all Tax Returns filed by or on behalf of PBF Energy after the Closing Date relating to the Toledo Tank Farm Assets and any supporting documentation provided by or on behalf of PBF Energy to taxing authorities, excluding Tax Returns related to income tax, franchise tax, or other similar Taxes.
Section 7.5    Transfer Taxes.  All sales, use, transfer, gains, stamp, duties, recording, and similar Taxes (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the Contribution and the transfer of Consideration pursuant thereto shall be borne equally by PBF Energy and the Partnership.  PBF Energy and the Partnership shall cooperate in causing the filing of all necessary Tax Returns and timely pay all such Transfer Taxes as required by Applicable Law.

29






Section 7.6    Scope.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Article VII shall be the exclusive remedy for any claims relating to Taxes (including any claims relating to representations respecting Tax matters including Section 4.11).  The rights under this Article VII shall survive the Closing until 30 days after the expiration of the statute of limitations (including extensions) applicable to such Tax matter.

The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.3(b), and the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.
(c)    If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.3(b), then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, and be reimbursed for its reasonable cost and expense (but only if the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder) in regard to the Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party), by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnified Party.

Environmental Matters


The Toledo Refinery voluntarily installed perimeter monitoring in the mid 2000’s. Sunoco is responsible for historical conditions prior to March 1, 2011 and reimburses PBF Holding for work that is performed on historical conditions.   A summary of recent environmental activities in Tank Farm #2 follows:


		
	•
	Light hydrocarbon product was observed for the first time in groundwater Monitoring Well 9 (southeast perimeter of tank farm near Tank 435) in February 2012.  An interceptor trench was installed in September 2012 (located up gradient of Monitoring Well 9) to limit possible off-site migration of light hydrocarbons. The interceptor trench proved to be effective.  No light hydrocarbons have been observed in Monitoring Well 9 since the trench was installed.




		
	•
	Storage Tank 419 was removed from service to allow internal inspection for API 653 compliance in July 2013.  The inspection of the tank floor revealed seventeen holes. A soil investigation indicated the presence of hydrocarbon products within the sand bedding beneath the tank floor.  A total of 1,933 tons of hydrocarbon contaminated sand/soil was removed for off-site disposal. 




		
	•
	An active underground pipeline leak (Line 24) was discovered southeast of Tank 434 in November 2013.  Approximately 1,600 gallons of light hydrocarbon product was recovered off the groundwater table using a combination of well bailers, peristaltic pumps, and vacuum trucks. In addition to the recovered liquid hydrocarbons, approximately 4,000 tons of hydrocarbon impacted soil was removed. The pipeline leak was clamped.  Nine recovery sumps have been approved for installation to serve as future monitoring and recovery points.  Four recovery sumps have been installed to date.
