 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND 
 CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES AGREEMENT 
 THIS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of July 13, 2007 by and among
United Refining Energy Corp. (the “Company”), United Refining, Inc. (“URI”), Red Apple Group, Inc. (“Red Apple”), United Acquisition Corp. (“UAC”) and United Refining Company
(“URC”),, in connection with the Company’s proposed public offering of Units pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as amended, the
“Registration Statement”). 
 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, URI is the sole sponsor of the Company, and the Company and URI, Red Apple, UAC and URC (collectively with URI, Red Apple and UAC, the “Affiliated Entities”) share certain officers and
directors; and 
 WHEREAS, because each of the Company and the Affiliated Entities will be seeking business opportunities including, but not
limited to, those within the energy industry, the parties have made this Agreement to clarify the business opportunities for which each party shall have the right of first refusal. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Right of First Refusal to the Company. For
the term specified in Section 3 of this Agreement and subject to subsections (a), (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 1, each of Affiliated Entities hereby grants to the Company a right of first refusal as
follows: 
 (a) Except for those investment or acquisition opportunities primarily involving the purchase of retail operations
or the sale or lease of real estate in connection therewith, each of the Affiliated Entities shall first present any investment or acquisition opportunity in a business or businesses, including, but not limited to, the energy industry, whose
aggregate fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance of the Company’s trust account (as described in the Registration Statement), to a committee of the Company’s independent directors, and will not enter into any agreement
to purchase or invest in such business or businesses until the Company’s committee of independent directors determines, within the time frame and manner specified below, whether or not to pursue such business opportunity. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company agrees that any such business entity with respect to which any
of the Affiliated Entities has initiated any contacts or entered into any discussions or negotiations, formal or informal, regarding any of the Affiliated Entities’ acquisition of, or investment in, such business prior to the completion of the
Company’s offering, as set forth in the Registration Statement, will not be a potential acquisition target for Company. 

 (c) After review of any potential corporate opportunity, the Company may release the
right of first refusal set forth in this Section 1 with respect to such corporate opportunity. Decisions by the Company to release any of the Affiliated Entities to pursue such corporate opportunity within the energy industry, or any other
industry, will be made by a majority of the Company’s independent directors. 
 (d) As used in this Agreement, the term
“Business Combination” (as described more fully in the Registration Statement) shall mean a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, or other similar business combination between the Company and one or more operating
businesses in the energy industry, or any other industry. 
 (e) Each of the Affiliated Entities whose general partner,
principals, directors, officers or employees become aware of a corporate opportunity which is subject to this Agreement shall provide written notice of the business opportunity to the Company pursuant to this right of first refusal within five
(5) business days of its identification of the corporate opportunity. Any right of first refusal granted shall expire ninety (90) days from the date of the written notice, provided that, during such ninety (90)-day period, the
Company has failed to commence discussions with any third party regarding a Business Combination involving such business opportunity. 
 2.
Right of First Refusal to the Affiliated Entities. For the term specified in Section 3 of this Agreement and subject to each of the subsections below, the Company hereby grants to the Affiliated Entities a right of first
refusal as follows: 
 (a) The Company shall first present any investment or acquisition opportunity in a business or
businesses primarily involving the purchase of retail operations or the sale or lease of real estate in connection therewith to the Affiliated Entities to evaluate such business opportunity, and will not enter into any agreement to purchase or
invest in such business or businesses until each of the Affiliated Entities notifies the Company, within the time frame and manner specified below, whether or not each or any of the Affiliated Entities has elected to pursue such business
opportunity. 
 (b) After review of any potential corporate opportunity, the Affiliated Entities may release the right of
first refusal set forth in this Section 2 with respect to such corporate opportunity. Each of the Affiliated Entities shall notify the Company of their decision to release the Company to pursue such corporate opportunity primarily
involving the purchase of retail operations or the sale or lease of real estate in connection therewith. The Company shall not pursue any such opportunity without the consent of each of the Affiliated Entities. 
 (c) Each of the Company’s directors, officers or employees who become aware of a corporate opportunity which is subject to this
Agreement shall provide written notice of the business opportunity to each of the Affiliated Entities pursuant to this right of first refusal within five (5) business days of its identification of the corporate opportunity. Any right of first
refusal granted shall expire ninety (90) days from the date of the written notice, provided that, during such ninety (90)-day period, the Affiliated Entities have failed to commence discussions with any third party regarding such
business opportunity. 

 3. Term. This Agreement shall become effective on its execution and shall remain in effect for a
period to expire upon the earlier of (i) the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or (ii) 24 months following the consummation of the Company’s offering pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 SPONSOR’S ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT OPTION AGREEMENT 
 July 13, 2007 
 Board of Directors 
 United Refining, Inc. 
 823 Eleventh Ave 
 New York, New York 10019 
 Attn: John Catsimatidis 
 Gentlemen: 
 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, United Refining, Inc. (“URI”) hereby has the option to purchase additional units (the
“Additional Investment Option”) in United Refining Energy Corp (“we,” “us”, “our” or the “Corporation”), subject to the terms and limitations set forth below: 
  

	1.	URI shall have the option to purchase up to 1,000,000 additional investment units (“Additional Investment Units”) at $10.00 per unit, consisting of 1,000,000 shares
of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Additional Investment Common Stock”), and 1,000,000 warrants, each to purchase one share of the Corporation’s Common Stock (the “Additional
Investment Warrants”) at $7.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of up to TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”). 

  

	2.	URI may exercise the Additional Investment Option, and we will issue the Additional Investment Units to the extent the Additional Investment Option is exercised immediately prior to
our consummation of a Business Combination, as that term is defined in our registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (“Registration Statement”) relating to our initial public offering of securities (“IPO”), and filed by us
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which exercise shall be subsequent to our signing of a definitive business combination agreement and the approval of the Business Combination by a majority of our public stockholders. URI shall provide
notice of its intent to exercise this Additional Investment Option within five days of the public stockholders’ approval of the Business Combination but in no event later than one business day prior to the consummation of the Business
Combination. 

  

	3.	 If URI elects to exercise the Additional Investment Option, URI shall deliver the Purchase Price for the Additional Investment Units so exercised to us. In the
event that we fail to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the consummation of our IPO or URI fails to exercise the Additional Investment 

	 	 
Option prior to the consummation of the Business Combination in accordance with Section 2, URI’s Additional Investment Option shall be null and void and
of no further force and effect. 

  

	4.	URI warrants and represents that it has been advised that the Additional Investment Units (including the Additional Investment Common Stock, Additional Investment Warrants and
underlying shares of common stock) have not been registered under the Securities Act; that URI is acquiring the Additional Investment Units (including the Additional Investment Common Stock, Additional Investment Warrants and underlying shares of
common stock) for its account for investment purposes only; that URI has no present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of any of the Additional Investment Units (including the Additional Investment Common Stock, Additional Investment
Warrants and underlying shares of common stock) in violation of the securities laws of the United States; that URI is an “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “ Securities Act “); and that URI is familiar with the proposed business, management, financial condition and affairs of the Corporation. 

  

	5.	If URI elects to exercise the Additional Investment Option, URI agrees not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Additional Investment Option, the Additional Investment Units or
the Additional Investment Common Stock or Additional Investment Warrants included in these units (including the common stock to be issued upon exercise of these warrants), except as otherwise set forth in the Registration Statement, until one
(1) year after we consummate a Business Combination. 

  

	6.	The Additional Investment Warrants shall be identical to the insider warrants included in the units purchased by URI in that certain private placement, as described in the
Registration Statement. 

  

	7.	In the event URI exercises the Additional Investment Option, the holders of a majority of the securities underlying such Additional Investment Option, will be entitled to those
certain registration rights provided to the holders of the Insider Shares (as such term is defined in the Registration Statement) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement executed in connection with the Company’s IPO. We will bear the
expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. 

  

	8.	URI hereby warrants and represents that it will execute all documents that are necessary or desirable in connection with the Corporation’s IPO. 

  

	9.	This Additional Investment Option agreement (“Agreement”) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware for agreements made and
to be wholly performed within such state. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any litigation pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 

	10.	This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to the subject matter hereof and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and
understandings of any and every nature among them. 

  

	11.	Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed
by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. 

  

	12.	Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice or other communication to a party hereunder shall be sufficiently given if in writing and personally delivered or sent by facsimile or
other electronic transmission with copy sent in another manner herein provided or sent by courier (which for all purposes of this Agreement shall include Federal Express or other recognized overnight courier) or mailed to said party by certified
mail, return receipt requested, at its address provided for herein or such other address as either may designate for itself in such notice to the other. Communications shall be deemed to have been received when delivered personally, on the scheduled
arrival date when sent by next day or 2-day courier service, or if sent by facsimile upon receipt of confirmation of transmittal or, if sent by mail, then three days after deposit in the mail. If given by electronic transmission, such notice shall
be deemed to be delivered (a) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (b) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the
stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (1) such posting and (2) the giving of such separate notice; and (c) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. 

 

	13.	Each party shall indemnify the other against any loss, cost or damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred as a result of such party’s breach of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement. 

  

	14.	This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery
of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf”
signature page were an original thereof. 

  

	15.	In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect without said provision; provided that no such severability shall be effective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party. 

	16.	The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. 

  

			
	Very truly yours
