          This Fuel Sales and Licensing Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this
1st day of November 2009, by and between Alon USA, LP, a Texas limited partnership
(“Alon”), and Alon Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Brands”).

WITNESSETH:

          FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the premises, Alon agrees to sell and Brands agrees to purchase
and accept the products specified herein upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

RECITALS

     A. Alon has an exclusive license to use certain trademarks (the “Fina Marks,” as identified on
the attached as Exhibit A and as thereafter modified, amended or replaced) in connection with the
manufacture and sale of gasoline and diesel fuel in the States of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico,
Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Colorado and Utah (collectively, the “Licensed Territory”) under the
terms of a certain Trademark License Agreement dated to be effective as of July 31, 2000, by and
between Finamark, Inc. and Atofina Petrochemicals, Inc. as Licensor (the “Primary Licensors”), and
SWBU, L.P. (now known as Alon USA, LP) as Licensee (the “Master License Agreement”), until 2012 or
as long as Alon continues to manufacture and sell certain products under the Fina Marks in said
territory, whichever period is shorter. Alon does not own the Fina Marks. Alon’s exclusive
license includes a right to sublicense the Fina Marks with respect to the licensed products listed
on Exhibit A (such products being referred to herein as “Licensed Products”) in the Licensed
Territory. The Fina Marks, together with any other trademark or trade dress used by Alon,
collectively constitute the “Fina Brand and Image.”

     B. Alon and Brands desire to provide for Brands’ purchase from Alon of the Licensed Products
for resale by Brands, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

     C. Brands operates the FinaNet credit card program (the “Credit Card Program”) and from time
to time conducts a variety of marketing support activities (the “Marketing Services”).

     D. Brands desires to (a) sell the Licensed Products under the Fina Marks, (b) use the Fina
Marks in connection with Brands’ Credit Card Program and Marketing Services, and (c) sublicense
the use of the Fina Marks within the Licensed Territory (collectively, “Brands’ Fina-Branded
Marketing”).

     E. This Agreement covers (a) the sale by Alon, and the purchase by Brands, of the Licensed
Products, and (b) the license of the Fina Marks by Alon to Brands for (i) use of the Fina Marks in
connection with the sale of the Licensed Products within the Licensed Territory, (ii) use of the
Fina Marks in connection with the Credit Card Program, (iii) use of the Fina Marks in

2

 

connection with the Marketing Services, and (iv) use of the Fina Marks in connection with
sublicensing the use of the Fina Marks within the Licensed Territory.

     F. Each exhibit attached to this Agreement is incorporated in this Agreement for all purposes.

     NOW, THEREFORE, Alon and Brands agree as follows:

	1.	 	Products

	 	 	Alon will provide Brands with products which meet or exceed the most current

but not limited to:

	 	 	HRVP, LRVP, Ethanol blended, Unleaded and Premium grades of gasoline

	 	 	Ultra low sulfur diesel fuel

	2.	 	Supply 

     The “stated quantity” shall be equal to 276,000,000 gallons per year total of the above listed
products, forecasted by terminal on a monthly basis in accordance with the format set forth on
Exhibit B. Brands agrees to purchase no less than 80% of stated quantity and no more than 120% of
stated quantity ratably on a monthly basis unless otherwise agreed to by both Brands and Alon.
Should Brands purchase less than 80% of the approved contract volume for more than three
consecutive months, Alon may terminate this agreement.

	3.	 	Price

     The price to be paid by Brands to Alon for each gallon of product shall be Alon’s price for
such grade and specification of product in effect on the date of product delivery. Alon’s prices
for all delivery points shall be equal [***].

     Alon will have the right to require, approve, inject or reject the injection of certain
generic additives, including without limitation, corrosion inhibitor, lubricity, conductivity,
Texas Low Emission Diesel (TxLED) additive, gasoline additives, butane, pour point suppressant,
mercaptan sulfur, Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII), static dissipater, generic dyes, oxygenates
and denaturants (collectively, “Additives”) to the extent that such Additives are required by law
or deemed necessary to protect Alon’s terminal equipment or are consistent with industry standards.

     [***]

     Tax incentives related to the use of reformulated fuels such as the current ethanol blender’s
credit of $.46 per gallon will be [***]. The Parties recognize that industry practices regarding
the allocation of a blender’s credit and RINS are recent arrivals to the motor fuel

date hereof. Unless otherwise specified, payment terms will be NET 10 days.

dealers within the Licensed Territory.

            6.1.2 References in this Agreement to the licensed “use” of the Fina Marks by Brands shall
mean the sales, promotion and other activities set out in subsections (a) — (e) above.

            6.1.3 Brands will comply with all applicable laws, including without limitation, the Petroleum
Marketing Practices Act (as hereinafter defined) in terminating the status of any Owned Station or
Dealer Station.

4

 

            6.1.4 Brands shall have the right to sell products other than the Licensed Products
(“Unlicensed Products”) such as grocery or convenience store items at its Owned Stations, and to
sell Unlicensed Products for retail resale at Dealer Stations.

	 	6.2	 	Rights of Alon and Primary Licensors; Limited Warranty

            6.2.1 Brands acknowledges that the Fina Marks, whether registered under federal or state law

valuable and important property of the Primary Licensors, and are essential to the goodwill and
reputation developed by the Primary Licensors and Alon. Brands further acknowledges that the Fina
Brand and Image, which includes the Fina Marks, are owned solely by and are the exclusive property
of the Primary Licensors, are valuable and important property of the Primary Licensors and Alon,
and are essential to the goodwill and reputation developed by the Primary Licensors and Alon.
Brands acknowledges and agrees that no title to the Fina Marks or the Fina Brand and Image will
pass hereunder to or thereafter through or from Brands, and only the limited rights granted in or
pursuant to this Agreement are provided to Brands.

            6.2.2 Brands shall permit Primary Licensors and Alon to inspect Covered Stations and other
facilities used by Brands or a Permitted Dealer in connection with its operations under this
Agreement at any reasonable time for compliance with the requirements of this Agreement. Brands
shall, and shall cause each Permitted Dealer to, cooperate fully with Primary Licensors and Alon in
such inspections and in any follow-up investigation that Primary Licensors or Alon deems
appropriate, including but not limited to investigations to determine if any of the Fina Marks have
been infringed or to determine if a breach of any of Brands’ obligations under this Agreement has
occurred.

            6.2.3 Brands acknowledges and agrees that any usage of the Fina Marks and the Fina Brand and
Image by Brands, its Permitted Dealers or anyone on Brands’ behalf pursuant to this Agreement (or
otherwise, even if such action is a breach of this Agreement) will inure to the benefit of Primary
Licensors and Alon.

            6.2.4 Alon warrants that the Master License Agreement is in effect as of the Effective Date
and that Alon has taken all requisite action to authorize the making of this Agreement under its
organizational documents. Alon makes no other representation or warranty, express or implied,
regarding this Agreement or its subject matter, including but not limited to any warranty as to the
validity of any Fina Mark, any warranty of suitability or merchantability, any warranty as to
Alon’s rights or powers under the master license agreement, or any representation or warranty as
to Brands’ future operating performance or results while using the Fina Marks or the Fina brand and
image.

            6.2.5 Brands acknowledges that the Master License Agreement will expire in accordance with its
terms in the year 2012. In the event that the Master License Agreement is not extended by Alon,
Alon may provide an alternative to the Fina Brand and Image and/or either party may terminate the

rights or privileges under this Agreement, shall not be construed as a waiver of any such
provision, condition, right or privilege on any other occasion.
