Retention Agreement

 Exhibit 10.1 
 April 6, 2012 
 James B. Jenkins 
 365 Canal Street 
 Suite 2900 
 New Orleans, LA 70130 
 Westway Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer
you this Retention Agreement (the “Agreement”), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The terms of this Agreement are confidential and may not be disclosed by you to any person (other than your spouse and legal and tax
advisors, provided that each such person promises to treat the terms and existence of this Agreement as confidential). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall be defined as set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement. In the event that a
Change in Control has not occurred within 6 months after the date of this Agreement, your right to receive the Retention Bonus (as defined below) shall terminate. 
 Provided that you remain continuously employed by the Company from the date of this Agreement through and including the date that is six months following the date of a Change in Control, you will be paid
a retention bonus in the amount of $1,149,000 (the “Retention Bonus”), with such payment to be made in a lump sum on the first payroll date following the end of such six-month period. You will also be paid the Retention Bonus if,
following the occurrence of a Change in Control but prior to the six month anniversary thereof, your employment with the Company (w) is terminated by the Company without Cause, (x) is terminated by the Company due to your Disability,
(y) is terminated by you for Good Reason or (z) is terminated due to your death, in each case, with the Retention Bonus being paid on the first payroll date following the occurrence of such termination of employment. In the event that your
employment with the Company terminates under any other circumstances prior to the six month anniversary of a Change in Control, the Retention Bonus will be forfeited and you will not be entitled to any payment thereof. 

In consideration for the Company’s executing this Agreement, you hereby waive, effective as of the date first set forth above, all claims to
severance benefits from the Company in connection with your termination of employment, including, without limitation, all such payments and benefits to which you would otherwise become entitled under the Company’s Severance Pay Plan, except as
expressly provided in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if, and only if, a Change in Control does not occur within 6 months after the date of this Agreement, this waiver shall terminate and have no further
effect. 
 In the event that any payments or benefits owed to you under this Agreement or otherwise (when combined with any other payments or
benefits owed to you) would subject you to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as determined by the Company, then the payments and benefits owed to you shall be
reduced by the minimum amount necessary to eliminate the application of such excise tax. Any such reduction in payments and benefits shall be applied first against any scheduled cash payments (reduced in

 
the order of latest scheduled payments to earliest scheduled payments); second against any equity or equity derivatives that are included under Section 280G of the Code at full value rather
than accelerated value, with the highest value reduced first; third against any equity or equity derivatives included under Section 280G of the Code at an accelerated value (and not at full value), with the highest value reduced first (as such
values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24); and fourth against any other non-cash benefits (reduced in the order of the latest scheduled benefit to the earliest scheduled benefit). 

This Agreement is intended to comply with Code Section 409A (to the extent applicable) and the parties hereto agree to interpret, apply and
administer this Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary to comply therewith and without resulting in any increase in the amounts owed hereunder by the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any payments due under
this Agreement would subject you to any tax imposed under Code Section 409A if such payments were made at the time provided herein due to your being a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)) of a publicly traded company on the date on which your employment with the Company terminates for any reason, then the payment that would otherwise cause such taxation shall be payable in a single lump sum on the first
day which is at least six months after the date of your “separation from service” as defined in Code Section 409A (or on the date of your death, if earlier). 
 The Company or its successor shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement any federal, state, local or foreign withholding or other taxes or charges which the Company or its
successor is required to withhold pursuant to applicable law. 
 This Agreement between you and the Company constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject matter described in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to such subject matter (provided that,
if a Change in Control does not occur within six months following the date of this Agreement, the waiver set forth in the third paragraph hereof shall cease to be effective and you shall once again be entitled to receipt of severance benefits from
the Company upon your termination of employment on the terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, including any such severance benefits to which you may be entitled under the Company’s Severance Pay Plan).
This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or rescinded in any manner, except by written instrument signed by both of the parties hereto. 
 The Company shall require any successor to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such
succession had taken place. 
 This Agreement shall be governed, interpreted and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
Delaware without giving effect to its rules governing conflicts of laws. 
 EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original
instrument, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. 

*        *        *

 If the foregoing is acceptable to you, kindly acknowledge and
accept by executing this Agreement where indicated below and return it to the Company as soon as practicable.

 4Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement

 Exhibit 10.2 
 April 6, 2012 
 James B. Jenkins 
 365 Canal Street 
 Suite 2900 
 New Orleans, LA 70130 
 Dear Jim: 
 On April 6, 2012 (the “Grant Date”), the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Westway Group, Inc. (the “Company”)
granted to you a Non-Qualified Stock Option to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”), at a per share exercise price of $5.55 (the “Award” or the
“Option”) pursuant to the Westway Group, Inc. 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Your Award is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan (which are incorporated herein by reference) and this letter
agreement (the “Agreement”). In the event of any contradiction, distinction or difference between this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meaning ascribed to them by the Plan. The number of shares subject to the Option and the per share exercise price are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. 

The Option is fully vested as of the Grant Date and may be exercised by you at any time on or prior to the “Expiration Date” (as defined
below) upon written notice to the Company of such exercise and your payment of the exercise price in full at the time of exercise. To the extent not exercised by the Expiration Date, the Option shall terminate and be forfeited with no consideration
due to you. Any shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option will be either issued in certificate form or in book entry form, as determined by the Committee, and will be registered in your name with such legends as the Committee deems
appropriate. 
 The exercise price for any shares of Common Stock to be acquired upon the exercise of the Option shall be paid either
(a) in cash or by check at the time the Option is exercised, (b) at the discretion of the Committee, by delivery to the Company of other shares of Common Stock (subject to such requirements as may be imposed by the Committee), (c) at
the discretion of the Committee, by directing the Company to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock to be acquired upon the exercise of the Option by a whole number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise
equal to the aggregate exercise price or (d) at the discretion of the Committee, in any combination of the foregoing. 
 For purposes of
this Agreement: 
  

	 	•	 	 “Cause” means the commission of acts of gross negligence, gross misconduct, fraud, theft, or misappropriation against the Company,
breach of fiduciary duty, failure to follow the lawful directions of the Board or the conviction of a felony under the law. 

  

	 	•	 	 “Disability” means your inability to perform the essential duties and responsibilities of your job with reasonable accommodation, for
a continuous period of 90 days or more, or for 120 days or more in a 12 month period, due to a physical or mental condition, as determined by the Committee in good faith 

 

	 	•	 	 “Expiration Date” means the earliest to occur of (w) October 6, 2012, (x) in the event that your employment with the
Company is terminated by you for any reason or by the Company for 

	 	 
Cause, the date of such termination of employment, (y) in the event that your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, the date that is 30 days after the date of such
termination of employment and (z) in the event that your employment is terminated by the Company due to your Disability or due to your death, the date that is 60 days after the date of such termination of employment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in connection with a Change in Control occurring prior to the expiration of the Option, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, take any of the following actions: (a) terminate the Option immediately prior to the occurrence of a
Change in Control (to the extent not previously exercised), (b) terminate the Option in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Stock underlying the unexercised portion of the
Option at the time of the Change in Control over the aggregate exercise price of such unexercised portion of the Option (which cash payment shall be net of applicable withholding taxes), (c) where the Company is not the surviving corporation,
cause the surviving corporation to assume the Option or replace it will a substantially equivalent option or (d) take such other action as the Committee determines to be appropriate. 

Prior to your exercise of any portion of the Option, you shall not have the rights and benefits of a holder of Common Stock, including but not limited to
the right to vote or receive dividends paid, with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to the Option. After you exercise a portion of your Option and receive the applicable shares of Common Stock, you shall have the same rights and benefits
as any other holder of Common Stock with respect to the shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not transfer any shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of the Option at any time during
your employment with the Company without the prior approval of the Board (with any approved transfer being subject to insider trading rules and Company policy); provided, however, that prior approval of transfers shall not be required with respect
to gratuitous transfers to (x) an ascendant, descendant or a sibling or (y) a trust for the benefit of any one or more persons described in clause (x). 
 As a condition to the exercise of the Option, you must make appropriate arrangements with the Company with respect to all withholding taxes due in connection with such exercise. Such withholding taxes may
be paid (a) in cash or by check, (b) at the discretion of the Committee, by directing the Company to withhold a whole number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be received upon such exercise having a Fair Market Value on the
date of exercise equal to the withholding taxes due or (c) at the discretion of the Committee, in any combination of the foregoing. In the event that no such arrangements are made, the Company may use the method described in clause (b) (or
such other method that it deems appropriate) to satisfy such withholding taxes. Any withholding in shares of Common Stock shall occur at the minimum required withholding rates. 
 In the event that any payments or benefits owed to you under this Agreement or otherwise (when combined with any other payments or benefits owed to you) would subject you to the excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as determined by the Company, then the payments and benefits owed to you shall be reduced by the minimum amount necessary to eliminate the application
of such excise tax. Any such reduction in payments and benefits shall be applied first against any scheduled cash payments (reduced in the order of latest scheduled payments to earliest scheduled payments); second against any equity or equity
derivatives that are included under Section 280G of the Code at full value rather than accelerated value, with the highest value reduced first; third against any equity or equity derivatives included under Section 280G of the Code at an
accelerated value (and not at full value), with the highest value reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24); and fourth against any other non-cash benefits (reduced in the order of the
latest scheduled benefit to the earliest scheduled benefit).

 The Company may impose any conditions on the Award it deems necessary or advisable to ensure compliance with
the requirements of applicable securities laws. The Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any shares pursuant to this Award if, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all applicable laws, regulations and national securities
exchange rules have not been complied with. Upon exercise of the Option, if requested by the Committee, you shall hold the Common Stock so acquired for investment and not with a view of resale or distribution to the public and you shall deliver to
the Company a written statement satisfactory to the Company to such effect. 
 This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement between
you and the Company, provided that the Committee may amend the terms of this Agreement to the extent it deems appropriate to comply with applicable law. The construction and interpretation of any provision of this Agreement shall be final,
conclusive and binding on all persons when made by the Committee. 
 You may not assign or otherwise transfer any portion of your Award to any
other person and any attempt to accomplish the same shall be void. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer on you the right to continue in the employment of the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate your
employment at any time. 
 In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or
invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Agreement and the Agreement shall be enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. All obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of any successor to the Company. 
 Except to the extent superseded by applicable federal law, this Agreement shall be construed
according to the laws of the state of Louisiana, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. 
 This Agreement may be executed in two
or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. 
 You must
sign and return a copy of this Agreement to the Company at Westway Group, Inc., 365 Canal Street, Suite 2900, New Orleans, LA 70130, Attention Board of Directors. Your acknowledgement must be returned within ten (10) business days, otherwise,
