---

On June 10, 2025, Global Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "<u>Partnership</u>"), and GLP Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation ("<u>Finance</u>" and, together with the Partnership, the "<u>Issuers</u>"), Global GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership (the "<u>General Partner</u>"), and certain subsidiaries of the Partnership, as guarantors (the "<u>Guarantors</u>"), entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "<u>Purchase Agreement</u>") with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the several initial purchasers named therein (the "<u>Initial Purchasers</u>"), pursuant to which the Issuers agreed to sell $450 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers' 7.125% senior notes due 2033 (the "<u>Notes</u>") to the Initial Purchasers in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"). The Notes will be resold by the Initial Purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions under which the Issuers, the General Partner and the Guarantors, on one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference. The description of the Purchase Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such exhibit.

Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about June 23, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The Partnership intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund the purchase of its outstanding $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2027 (the "<u>2027 Senior Notes</u>") in a cash tender offer (the "<u>Tender Offer</u>") and to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under its credit agreement. The offering of the Notes is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Tender Offer. To the extent the Tender Offer is not completed or is completed but the Partnership purchases less than all of the 2027 Senior Notes in the Tender Offer, the Partnership intends to redeem any 2027 Senior Notes that remain outstanding on or about August 1, 2025.

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute a notice of redemption or an offer to purchase the 2027 Senior Notes not purchased in the Tender Offer.

Some of the Initial Purchasers and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Partnership or its affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions. For example, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as the dealer manager for the Tender Offer and will receive certain fees in connection therewith. In addition, certain of the Initial Purchasers or their affiliates may own a portion of the 2027 Senior Notes that are subject to the Tender Offer and accordingly may receive a portion of the proceeds from the offering. Certain of the Initial Purchasers or their affiliates may be agents and/or lenders under the Partnership's credit agreement. For example, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, is a lender, issuer of letters of credit and co-syndication agent under the credit agreement, and Bank of America, N.A., an affiliate of BofA Securities, Inc., is the administrative agent and a lender under the credit agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Issuers agree to issue and sell the Securities to the several Initial Purchasers as provided in this Agreement, and each Initial Purchaser, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Issuers on the Closing Date the respective principal amount of Securities set forth opposite such Initial Purchaser's name in <u>Schedule 1</u> hereto at a purchase price equal to 98.625% of the principal amount of Securities purchased by each Initial Purchaser in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in <u>Schedule 1</u> hereto bear to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such Initial Purchasers. The Issuers will not be obligated to deliver any of the Securities except upon payment for all the Securities to be purchased as provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Initial Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Issuers and, for purposes of the "no registration" opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 6, counsel for the Issuers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers may rely upon the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers, and compliance by the Initial Purchasers with their agreements, contained in Section 1(b) (including <u>Annex B</u> hereto), and each Initial Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Issuers acknowledge and agree that the Initial Purchasers may offer and sell Securities to or through any affiliate of an Initial Purchaser and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Securities purchased by it to or through any Initial Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Partnership Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) each Initial Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length contractual counterparty to the Partnership Parties with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or agent of, the Partnership Parties or any other person and (ii) the several Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Partnership Parties, and the several Initial Purchasers have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any fiduciary or advisory relationship. Additionally, neither the Representative nor any other Initial Purchaser is advising the Partnership Parties or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Partnership Parties shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Representative nor any other Initial Purchaser shall have any responsibility or liability to the Partnership Parties with respect thereto. Any review by the Representative or any Initial Purchaser of the Partnership Parties and the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Representative or such Initial Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall not be on behalf of the Partnership Parties or any other person and does not constitute a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the Representative or any Initial Purchaser.

At such closing, the Issuers will deliver to the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, one or more global notes representing the Securities (collectively, the "**Global Notes**"), each registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, pursuant to the DTC Agreement. The Global Notes shall be in such denominations as the Representatives shall designate. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a further condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers.

The Partnership is duly registered or qualified as a foreign limited partnership for the transaction of business under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the character of the business conducted by it or the nature or location of the properties owned or leased by it makes such registration or qualification necessary, except where the failure to so register or qualify would not (i) individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), business, assets, results of operations or prospects of the Partnership Parties and their subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the performance by the Partnership Parties of their obligations under this Agreement, the Securities and the Guarantees (a "**Material Adverse Effect**"), or (ii) subject the limited partners of the Partnership to any material liability or disability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Formation and Qualification of the General Partner, Global Operating, Global Companies, Chelsea Sandwich, Basin Transload, Global Everett, Global Terminal, SPR Holdings, SPR Operator, Global Chelsea, Global New Haven, Global Linden, Global Woodbury, Global East Providence and Beacon Street Logistics*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Ongoing Compliance of the Offering Memorandum.* If at any time prior to the completion of the initial offering of the Securities and the Guarantees (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Offering Memorandum as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Offering Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum to comply with law, the Issuers will immediately notify the Initial Purchasers thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to Section 4(b), furnish to the Initial Purchasers such amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the statements in the Offering Memorandum as so amended or supplemented (including such document to be incorporated by reference therein) will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Offering Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Offering Memorandum will comply with law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) *No Integration.* None of the Partnership Parties or any of their affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D) will, directly or through any agent, sell, offer for sale, solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of, any security (as defined in the Securities Act), that is or will be integrated with the sale of the Securities and the Guarantees in a manner that would require registration of the Securities and the Guarantees under the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) *No General Solicitation or Directed Selling Efforts.* None of the Partnership Parties or any of their affiliates or any other person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to which no covenant is given) will (i) solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities and the Guarantees by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or (ii) engage in any directed selling efforts within the meaning of Regulation S, and all such persons will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S.

The Representative may, in its sole discretion, waive in writing the performance by the Partnership Parties of any one or more of the foregoing covenants or extend the time for their performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Certain Agreements of the Initial Purchasers</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Conditions of Initial Purchasers' Obligations</u>. The obligation of each Initial Purchaser to purchase Securities on the Closing Date as provided herein is subject to the performance by each of the Partnership Parties of their respective covenants and other obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *No Downgrade.* Subsequent to the earlier of (A) the Time of Sale and (B) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Securities or any other debt securities or preferred stock issued or guaranteed by any of the Partnership Parties by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization," as such term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act; and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, or has changed its outlook with respect to, its rating of the Securities or of any other debt securities or preferred stock issued or guaranteed by any of the Partnership Parties (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *No Material Adverse Change.* Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, no event or condition of a type described in Section 3(dd) hereof shall have occurred or shall exist, which event or condition is not described in each of the Time of Sale Information (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) and the Offering Memorandum (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which in the judgment of the Representative makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities and the Guarantees on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Officer's Certificate.* The Representative shall have received on and as of the Closing Date a certificate of an executive officer of each of the Partnership Parties who has specific knowledge of such Partnership Party's financial matters and is satisfactory to the Representative (i) confirming that such officer has carefully reviewed each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum and, to the knowledge of such officer, the representations set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) hereof are true and correct, (ii) confirming that the other representations and warranties of the Partnership Parties in this Agreement are true and correct and that the Partnership Parties have complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) to the effect set forth in Sections 6(b) and 6(c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Comfort Letters.* On the date of this Agreement and on the Closing Date, Ernst & Young LLP shall have furnished to the Representative, at the request of the Partnership, letters, dated the respective dates of delivery thereof and addressed to the Initial Purchasers, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representative, containing statements and information of the type customarily included in accountants' "comfort letters" to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information included or incorporated by reference in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum; <u>provided</u> that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a "cut-off" date no more than three business days prior to the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) *No Legal Impediment to Issuance.* No action shall have been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by any federal, state or foreign governmental or regulatory authority that would, as of the Closing Date, prevent the issuance or sale of the Securities or the issuance of the Guarantees; and no injunction or order of any federal, state or foreign court shall have been issued that would, as of the Closing Date, prevent the issuance or sale of the Securities or the issuance of the Guarantees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Indemnification and Contribution</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers.* The Partnership Parties jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates who have, or who are alleged to have, participated in the distribution of the Securities, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Partnership in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Indemnification of the Partnership.* Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Partnership Parties, the directors and officers of each of the Partnership Parties, as the case may be, and each person, if any, who controls the Partnership Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Partnership in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such written information consists of the following information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum: the third sentence of the sixth paragraph and the ninth paragraph under the caption "Plan of Distribution."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Notice and Procedures.* If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the "**Indemnified Person**") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the "**Indemnifying Person**") in writing; <u>provided</u> that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates who have, or who are alleged to have, participated in the distribution of the Securities, directors and officers and any control persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by the Representative and any such separate firm for the Partnership Parties, their directors and officers and any control persons of the Partnership Parties shall be designated in writing by the Partnership. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Contribution.* If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership Parties on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities and the Guarantees or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Partnership Parties on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Partnership Parties on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers from the sale of the Securities and the Guarantees and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers in connection therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities and the Guarantees. The relative fault of the Partnership Parties on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers or any Guarantor or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Limitation on Liability.* The Partnership Parties and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by <u>pro</u> <u>rata</u> allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering of the Securities and the Guarantees exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Non-Exclusive Remedies*. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Termination</u>. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Issuers, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Issuers or any of the Guarantors shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities and the Guarantees on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Defaulting Initial Purchaser</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities and the Guarantees that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Issuers on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Issuers shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities and the Guarantees of a defaulting Initial Purchaser, either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Issuers may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Issuers or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Time of Sale Information, the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Issuers agree to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term "Initial Purchaser" includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Securities that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities and the Guarantees of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Issuers as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Issuers shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Initial Purchaser's <u>pro</u> <u>rata</u> share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Issuers as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Issuers shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of the Partnership Parties, except that the Partnership Parties will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 10 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Partnership Parties or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Payment of Expenses</u>*.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Partnership Parties jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and the Guarantees and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation and printing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication and the Offering Memorandum (including any amendment or supplement thereto) and the distribution thereof (including any form of electronic distribution); (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Partnership Parties' counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial Purchasers); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; and (ix) all expenses incurred by the Partnership Parties in connection with any "road show" presentation to potential investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 8, (ii) the Issuers for any reason fail to tender the Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers or (iii) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Partnership Parties jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement</u>.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Survival</u>. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Partnership Parties and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Partnership Parties or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Partnership Parties or the Initial Purchasers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Certain Defined Terms</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Operating Subsidiary LLC Agreement of each of Global Companies and Chelsea Sandwich has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Global Operating and each is a valid and legally binding agreement of Global Operating, enforceable against Global Operating in accordance with its terms;

*provided* that, with respect to each such agreement, the enforceability thereof may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions and public policy, applicable law relating to fiduciary duties and indemnification and contribution and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Each of the Issuers and each of Global Operating, Global Companies, Global Montello, Chelsea Sandwich, Glen Hes, Basin Transload, Meridian, Global Everett, Global Terminal, SPR Holdings, SPR Operator, Global Chelsea, Global New Haven, Global Linden, Global Woodbury, Global East Providence and Beacon Street Logistics (the "Delaware Guarantors") and Warex (together with the Delaware Guarantors, the "Covered Guarantors," and the Guarantors other than the Covered Guarantors, the "Other Guarantors") has all requisite partnership, limited liability company or corporate power and authority, as the case may be, to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to perform its respective obligations thereunder, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) The purchase agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Issuers, the General Partner and each of the Covered Guarantors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Issuers and each of the Covered Guarantors and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee and the Other Guarantors, constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of each of the Issuers and each of the Guarantors enforceable against each of the Issuers and each of the Guarantors in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions and public policy, applicable law relating to fiduciary duties and indemnification and contribution and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The Indenture conforms in all material respects with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission applicable to an indenture that is qualified thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Issuers and, assuming due authentication as provided in the Indenture, when delivered to and paid for by the Initial Purchasers as provided in the purchase agreement, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of each of the Issuers enforceable against the Issuers in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions and public policy, applicable law relating to fiduciary duties and indemnification and contribution and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) The Guarantees have been duly authorized by each of the Covered Guarantors and, assuming the Guarantees have been duly authorized by each of the Other Guarantors, when each global certificate representing the Securities has been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered as provided in the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Initial Purchasers as provided in the purchase agreement, the Guarantees will be valid and legally binding obligations of each of the Guarantors, enforceable against each of the Guarantors in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions and public policy, applicable law relating to fiduciary duties and indemnification and contribution and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) None of the issuance and sale of the Securities and the Guarantees, the execution, delivery and performance by the Partnership Parties of each Transaction Document to which each is a party, or the consummation by the Partnership Parties of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (i) conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes or will constitute a violation of the Organizational Documents of the Issuers or the Covered Guarantors, (ii) constitutes or will constitute a breach or violation of, or a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default) under, or create a Lien upon any property or asset of any of the Partnership Parties pursuant to the Credit Agreement or the Existing Indentures, or (iii) violates or will violate (A) with respect to the Delaware Guarantors, the Delaware LP Act, the Delaware LLC Act or the DGCL, as applicable, (B) with respect to Warex, the New York Business Corporations Law, or (C) federal or New York state law, which breaches, violations, Liens or defaults in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however that no opinion is expressed pursuant to this paragraph with respect to securities and other anti-fraud statutes, rules or regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) No permit, consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, filing or qualification ("consent") of or with any U.S. Federal or Delaware or New York court or governmental agency or body under the Delaware LP Act, the Delaware LLC Act, the DGCL or U.S. Federal or New York state law is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities and the Guarantees, the execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Partnership Parties to which each is a party, or the consummation by the Partnership Parties of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except for such consents as may be required under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Rules and Regulations and state securities or "Blue Sky" laws and applicable rules and regulations under such laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) The statements in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum under the caption "Description of Notes," to the extent they constitute a description of the terms of the Securities, the Guarantees and the Indenture, and under the captions "Description of Other Indebtedness" and "Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences," to the extent that they constitute descriptions of matters of law or agreements referred to therein, are accurate in all material respects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r) None of the Partnership Parties is, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, none of them will be, an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(s) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers, the Issuers and the Guarantors contained in the purchase agreement and their compliance with their agreements set forth therein, it is not necessary, in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers and the offer, resale and delivery of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the purchase agreement, the Time of Sale Information, the Offering Memorandum and the Indenture, to register the offer and sale of Securities under the Securities Act or to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, it being understood that such counsel need not express an opinion as to any subsequent resale of any Securities.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may (A) rely, without independent investigation or verification, with respect to matters of fact, upon certificates of officers and employees of the Partnership Parties, upon information obtained from public officials and upon the representations of the Partnership Parties set forth in the purchase agreement, (B) assume that all documents submitted to them as originals are authentic, that all copies submitted to them conform to the originals thereof, and that the signatures on all documents examined by them are genuine, (C) assume that each certificate from government officials reviewed by them is accurate, complete and authentic, and all official public records are accurate and complete, (D) state that their opinion is limited to federal laws, the Delaware LP Act, the Delaware LLC Act, the DGCL and the laws of the State of New York, (E) with respect to the opinions expressed in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) above as to the valid existence and good standing as a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, of certain of the Partnership Parties, state that such opinions relied solely on certificates and oral assurances of existence and good standing provided by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or the Secretary of State of the State of New York, as applicable, (F) assume that, to the extent documents constitute agreements of parties other than the Issuers, the Covered Guarantors and the General Partner, they are valid and binding obligations of such other parties, enforceable against such other parties in accordance with their terms, (G) with respect to the opinions expressed in clause (i) of paragraphs (e), (f), (g) and (h) above, such counsel relied on reports, dated as of recent dates, prepared by CSC Corporation purporting to describe all financing statements on file as of the dates specified therein in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware naming the Partnership, the General Partner, Global Operating or Global Companies, or one or more of them, as debtors, (H) with respect to the opinions expressed in paragraphs (e), (f), (g) and (h) above, assume that (i) each identified holder of partner interests, membership interests or capital stock (each a "Holder") gave value for the partner interests, membership interests or capital stock, as the case may be, held by such Holder, (ii) each Holder has taken delivery of such partner interests, membership interests or capital stock and (iii) no Holder has any notice of an adverse claim with respect to such partner interests, membership interests or capital stock, (I) with respect to the opinion expressed in clause (ii) of paragraph (o) above, state that they express no opinion or belief with respect to compliance with any financial, accounting or similar covenant requirement contained in any agreement, (J) state that they express no opinion with respect to state or local taxes or tax statutes to which any of the limited partners of the Partnership or equity holders of any of the Partnership Parties may be subject, and (K) state that they express no opinion as to the validity, legality, binding effect or enforceability of any provision of the Credit Agreement, the Existing Indentures and the Indenture that requires or relates to the payment of interest at a rate or in an amount which a court would determine in the circumstances or under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty or a forfeiture.

In addition, such counsel shall state that they have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Partnership Parties, representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm of the Partnership, and representatives of the Initial Purchasers, at which the contents of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum and related matters were discussed, and although such counsel did not independently verify, is not passing upon and does not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum (except to the extent specified in paragraph (q) above), on the basis of the foregoing, nothing has come to the attention of such counsel that causes it to believe that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Time of Sale Information, as of the Time of Sale, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Offering Memorandum, as of its date or as of the Closing Date, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

it being understood that such counsel need not express any statement or belief with respect to (i) the financial statements included or incorporated by reference therein, including the notes and schedules thereto and the independent public accounting firm's report thereon, or (ii) the other financial data and statistical data derived from financial data included or incorporated by reference therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. GPEC has, to the extent that execution and delivery are matters governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, duly executed and delivered the Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The execution and delivery by GPEC of the Transaction Documents, and the performance by GPEC of its obligations thereunder, do not violate (i) any provisions of the articles or by-laws of GPEC, or (ii) any Alberta statute or regulation which, in our experience, is normally applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. No consent or approval by, or any notification of or filing with, any Alberta provincial court, public body or governmental or regulatory authority is required pursuant to Alberta law to be obtained or effected by GPEC in connection with the execution and delivery by GPEC of any Transaction Document, and the performance by GPEC of its obligations thereunder.
