2.           GRANT.
​
By this Agreement, ExxonMobil and BFA Holder establish a “Franchise” and a “Franchise Relationship” as defined by the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. Sections 2801-2806 (the “PMPA”).  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement:
​
(a)          With respect to the Proprietary Marks (as defined below) to be used in connection with the retail sale of Exxon or Mobil-branded motor fuel (including both gasoline and diesel), as the case may be (“Products”), ExxonMobil grants BFA Holder the limited and non-exclusive right to:
​
(1)          Use the Mobil Proprietary Marks (as defined below) at (i) those Mobil-branded retail outlets identified as CORS locations on Exhibit 1 hereto and (ii) such Mobil-branded retail outlets as may be approved under Section 2(e) and operated by BFA Holder (or a third party operator with experience in the operation of similar service station properties) (“Operated Mobil Branded Outlets”);
​
(2)           Use the Exxon Proprietary Marks (as defined below) at such Exxon-branded retail outlets as may be approved under Section 2(e) and operated by BFA Holder (or a third party operator with experience in the operation of similar service station properties) (“Operated Exxon Branded Outlets”);
​
(3)           Grant the use of the Mobil Proprietary Marks to BFA Holder’s franchised lessees or franchised independent dealers (collectively, “Mobil Franchise Dealers”) at (i) those Mobil-branded retail outlets identified as CODO or DOSS locations on Exhibit 1 hereto and (ii) such Mobil-branded retail outlets as may be approved under Section 2(e) and operated by a franchised lessee or franchised independent dealer (“Franchised Mobil Branded Outlets”); and
​
(4)           Grant the use of the Exxon Proprietary Marks to BFA Holder’s franchised lessees or franchised independent dealers (collectively, “Exxon Franchise Dealers”) at such Exxon-branded retail outlets as may be approved under Section 2(e) and operated by a franchised lessee or franchised independent dealer (“Franchised Exxon Branded Outlets”).
​
In this Agreement, (i) the Operated Mobil Branded Outlets and Operated Exxon Branded Outlets may be collectively referred to as the “Operated Branded Outlets”, (ii) the Franchised Mobil Branded Outlets and Franchised Exxon Branded Outlets may be collectively referred to as the “Franchised Branded Outlets”, (iii) the Operated Branded Outlets and the Franchised Branded Outlets, whether they be BFA Holder Direct Served Outlets or BFA Holder Sub-Jobber Outlets may be collectively referred to as the “BFA Holder Branded Outlets”, and (iv) the Mobil Franchise Dealers and the Exxon Franchise Dealers may be collectively referred to as the “Franchise Dealers”.
​
For purposes of this Agreement, BFA Holder Branded Outlets can be supplied in one of two methods, (i) BFA Holder’s Direct Served Business, which are those BFA Holder Branded Outlets that are supplied Product for retail sale through an agreement directly with BFA Holder or any of its Affiliates (the “Direct Served Outlets”), or (ii) BFA Holder’s Sub-Jobber Business, which are those BFA Holder Branded Outlets that are supplied Product for retail sale through an agreement between BFA Holder or one of its Affiliates and any branded wholesaler that is not an Affiliate of BFA Holder (the “Sub-Jobber Outlets”).  Note that for purposes of this Agreement, the term “branded wholesaler(s)” shall include “distributor(s)”, as may be applicable.
​
(b)         Under this Agreement, “Mobil Proprietary Marks” shall mean (i) only those trademarks identified on Exhibits 13-A and 13-B hereto and (ii) related trade dress.  “Exxon Proprietary Marks” shall mean (i) only those trademarks identified on Exhibits 14-A and 14-B hereto and (ii) related trade
​

dress.  “Proprietary Marks” shall mean the Mobil Proprietary Marks and the Exxon Proprietary Marks, collectively or separately, as appropriate in context.  The grants set forth in Section 2(a) and Section 2(d)(1) by ExxonMobil to BFA Holder for BFA Holder’s use of the Proprietary Marks, as to each Proprietary Mark, shall be limited to only the specific corresponding goods and services listed on Exhibits 13-A and 14-A (as to the retail motor fuels Business only), and 13-B and 14-B (as to the Related Businesses only) (the “Authorized Uses”).  For the avoidance of doubt, BFA Holder hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Proprietary Marks may be used only during the Term and only at the BFA Holder Branded Outlets and that nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be interpreted to grant BFA Holder any rights in or to such Proprietary Marks for any offsite use unless expressly authorized by ExxonMobil in writing.  BFA Holder further hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, it shall not be permitted to use, or grant the use of, any of the Exxon Proprietary Marks prior to June 1, 2011.  In addition, specifically excluded from any Authorized Use is BFA Holder’s use of any Proprietary Mark on or in connection with any auto repair services or any trucks, cars or other rolling stock of any nature.  BFA Holder shall not have any authority under this Agreement to use any trademark or other intellectual property of ExxonMobil or its Affiliates not specifically identified on Exhibit 13-A, 13-B, 14-A or 14-B or any taglines or reward programs of ExxonMobil or its Affiliates.  BFA Holder shall be permitted only to use or grant the use of either the Mobil Proprietary Marks, or the Exxon Proprietary Marks, at any one retail outlet and shall not use or permit the use of both Mobil Proprietary Marks and Exxon Proprietary Marks at any retail outlet.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” as it relates to ExxonMobil means,  (1) ExxonMobil Oil Corporation or its successors-in-interest, (2) any parent corporation, partnership, or other entity of the ExxonMobil Oil Corporation or its successors-in-interest which now or hereafter owns or controls, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, fifty percent or more of the ownership interest having the right to vote for or appoint directors of ExxonMobil Oil Corporation or its successors-in-interest (“Parent Company”), (3) any corporation, partnership, or other entity, regardless of where situated, at least fifty percent of whose ownership interest having the right to vote for or appoint directors is now or hereafter owned or controlled, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, by ExxonMobil Oil Corporation or its successors-in-interest or by its Parent Company.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” as it relates to BFA Holder means, any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with BFA Holder, including any other person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such person.  For purposes of this definition, the term “control” (including the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of any person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise.  For the purposes of this Agreement, Alliance Energy LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“Alliance”) and AE Holdings Corp., a Massachusetts corporation and the managing member of Alliance shall not be considered Affiliates of BFA Holder.
​
(c)          BFA Holder will arrange for and be solely responsible for procuring an adequate supply of unbranded motor fuel (“Base Product”) that meets the requirements of Section 5 of this Agreement.  After Base Product has been additized as provided in Section 5 hereof, it may be distributed by BFA Holder as Product to the BFA Holder Branded Outlets subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement.
​
(d)          (1)          ExxonMobil acknowledges that BFA Holder may wish to operate additional businesses of the type described in the Authorized Uses set forth on Exhibit 13-B or 14-B (“Related Businesses”) during the Term utilizing Proprietary Marks at any or all of the BFA Holder Branded Outlets. Subject to the specific corresponding Authorized Uses(s) listed on Exhibit 13-B or 14-B, and other terms and conditions of this Agreement, ExxonMobil grants BFA Holder the right to utilize the Proprietary Marks set forth on Exhibit 13-B or 14-B in connection with Related Businesses and to grant to a Franchise Dealer the right to use such Proprietary Marks in connection with Related Businesses solely to the extent and in the manner specified by ExxonMobil from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, ExxonMobil shall have the right to change, modify, amend, add or remove, in its
​
​

3

​

sole discretion, the Related Businesses permitted pursuant to this Section 2(d)(1) and the Authorized Use(s) set forth on Exhibit 13-B or 14-B.
​
(2)          BFA Holder acknowledges, and shall require its Franchise Dealers to acknowledge, that the operation of a Related Business using any Proprietary Mark impacts customers’ perceptions and acceptance of the Products and Proprietary Marks.  Accordingly, BFA Holder may operate, or authorize a Franchise Dealer to operate, a Related Business utilizing Proprietary Marks at a BFA Holder Branded Outlet only in compliance with ExxonMobil’s requirements as set out from time to time by ExxonMobil and at all times in compliance with this Agreement.  If BFA Holder or any Franchise Dealer fails to comply with ExxonMobil’s requirements for such a Related Business at any BFA Holder Branded Outlet, without limiting ExxonMobil’s other rights or remedies under applicable laws or under this Agreement or any related or supplemental agreement, including termination or non-renewal of this Agreement and the Franchise Relationship, ExxonMobil may withdraw its approval for the use of any such Proprietary Mark for that Related Business.
​
(3)          During the Term, BFA Holder shall operate and shall cause its Franchise Dealers to operate any Related Business utilizing any Proprietary Mark, as approved under Section 2(e), in compliance with this Agreement and shall not operate, and shall cause its Franchise Dealers not to operate, any other businesses or activities utilizing Proprietary Marks at any BFA Holder Branded Outlet unless agreed in writing by the parties hereto.  During the Term, and except as expressly provided in this Agreement, BFA Holder (or any of its Franchise Dealers) may change, delete or add a Related Business at a BFA Holder Branded Outlet only with the prior written consent of ExxonMobil.  Nothing contained in this Section 2 may be construed as limiting or preventing ExxonMobil from changing, deleting, adding or substituting any Proprietary Mark used in connection with a Related Business.
​
(4)          The motor fuels business, under which BFA Holder distributes the Products hereunder for retail sale at the BFA Holder Branded Outlets, the retail sales of motor fuels at the BFA Holder Branded Outlets and the Related Businesses are herein collectively referred to as the “Businesses.”
​
(e)           (1)         BFA Holder may use or operate at an Operated Branded Outlet, or grant and allow the use or operation at a Franchised Branded Outlet of any Businesses or exercise any other rights under Sections 2(a) and (d), only if:
​
(i)          ExxonMobil has expressly approved the Exxon or Mobil-branding, as the case may be, of that retail outlet and the operation of the Businesses at that retail outlet; and
​
(ii)         ExxonMobil has not:
​
(A)         Debranded that outlet; or
​
(B)         Withdrawn ExxonMobil’s approval for the operation of any Business in question at that retail outlet.
​
For the purposes of Section 2(e)(1)(i) above, only those retail outlets set out on Exhibit 1 are expressly approved for Mobil-branding.  In particular, BFA Holder acknowledges that, absent the express approval of ExxonMobil or assignment by ExxonMobil in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no retail outlet or other operation that is Mobil or Exxon-branded and branded wholesaler-served as of the Effective Date is subject to operation under the terms of this Agreement.  Approval of any outlets in
​

4

​

addition to those set out on Exhibit 1 will be on a site by site basis and shall be memorialized by a trademark authorization letter in a form to be specified by ExxonMobil from time to time.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, any Exxon or Mobil branded retail outlet to be added under this Agreement that is approved at that time for Exxon or Mobil-branding shall not require re-approval to be added under this Agreement; provided, however, that ExxonMobil shall be entitled to review the Exxon or Mobil branding of such outlet to ensure compliance with Section 2(g) hereof.
​
(2)           In its sole discretion, ExxonMobil may approve or not approve the branding of any outlet or the use or operation of any Businesses proposed by BFA Holder or any Franchise Dealer.  ExxonMobil is not obligated to furnish a reason for withholding approval.  ExxonMobil’s furnishing of a reason does not in any way limit its rights to withhold for any reason any approval of that or any future branding proposal.  BFA Holder shall comply, and cause its Franchise Dealers to comply, with any requirements and conditions imposed by ExxonMobil in giving its approval under this Section.
​
(3)          By written notice to BFA Holder, ExxonMobil may withdraw its approval to:
​
(i)          Brand any BFA Holder Branded Outlet (“debrand”); or
​
(ii)         Use or operate any Business (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Related Business) at any outlet
​
if, in ExxonMobil’s sole judgment:
​
(a)          That outlet (or any Businesses thereat) fails to portray the image and standards ExxonMobil expects from its branded retail outlets;
​
(b)          BFA Holder, or any Franchise Dealer, is in default of any material obligation, condition, representation or warranty under this Agreement or any related or supplemental agreement with respect to that retail outlet (or any Business); or
​
(c)          Any actions by BFA Holder, any Franchise Dealer, any Affiliate of BFA Holder or any third party management company in connection with its operations on behalf of BFA Holder, whether in violation of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise, cause harm to the value or reputation of the Proprietary Marks.
​
ExxonMobil shall provide prior written notice of its intention to withdraw its approval pursuant to Section 2(e)(3)(a) or (b) and BFA Holder shall have a time period, which shall in no event exceed thirty (30) days, in which to take corrective action with respect to the BFA Holder Branded Outlet at issue.  In the event that BFA Holder has not satisfied ExxonMobil as to resolution of the issue within such thirty (30) day period, ExxonMobil may withdraw its approval.
​
(4)          If ExxonMobil debrands any BFA Holder Branded Outlet, or withdraws its approval to use or operate any Businesses at any BFA Holder Branded Outlet, BFA Holder shall comply, and cause any Franchise Dealer at the retail outlet to comply, with the provisions of Section 3 with respect to the retail outlet in question.  The debranding of one or more of the BFA Holder Branded Outlets does not constitute a termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.
​
(5)          BFA Holder shall not permit and shall ensure that its Franchise Dealers do not permit the following activities or types of business to occur at any BFA Holder Branded Outlet:
​
​

5

​

(i)          The sale or use of illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia or other illegal substances or activities,
​
(ii)         The sale of any pornographic material or other material that ExxonMobil in its sole judgment determines may be offensive to the general public (examples include but are not limited to Playboy, Hustler, and Penthouse magazines),
​
(iii)        Adult businesses (examples include but are not limited to massage parlors, strip clubs, and video stores),
​
(iv)         Bars or establishments that allow for any consumption of intoxicating beverages or any sales or consumption of intoxicating beverages in violation of applicable federal, state, county or local laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations, rules, orders or permits, or
​
(v)          The illegal sale of any tobacco products, including without limitation, sales in violation of any federal, state, county or local laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations, rules, orders, or permits relating to youth access to tobacco products. BFA Holder shall promptly advise ExxonMobil, and shall ensure that Franchise Dealers promptly advise BFA Holder, of any citations or notifications of violations received at any BFA Holder Branded Outlet from any regulatory authority resulting from any such tobacco sales and of the resolution of any such citations and notifications.  BFA Holder agrees to comply with the requirements set forth in Exhibit 8.
​
(6)          The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Franchise Relationship are exclusively between ExxonMobil and BFA Holder.  Nothing in this Agreement may be construed as creating any Franchise or Franchise Relationship with any other person, including without limitation, any Franchise Dealer, employee or contractor of BFA Holder.
​
(f)           This Agreement does not give BFA Holder an exclusive right in any market or geographic area to sell Products or conduct any Related Business.  BFA Holder acknowledges that ExxonMobil and its Affiliates may directly or indirectly compete with BFA Holder by using, or, subject to Section 2(g) authorizing the use of any trademark, trade names and trade dress owned by ExxonMobil (or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates) from time to time including, without limitation, the Proprietary Marks, including in close proximity to, and notwithstanding any commercial impact on, any BFA Holder Branded Outlet.
​
(g)          In order to protect the integrity of the Exxon and Mobil brands in the Designated Geographies,  notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no retail outlet may become a BFA Holder Direct Served Outlet or Sub-Jobber Outlet pursuant to the terms of this Agreement if such site is located within two (2) miles of any then-existing Exxon or Mobil branded retail outlet, which then-existing Exxon or Mobil branded retail outlet is not also a BFA Holder Direct Served Outlet or Sub-Jobber Outlet.  The distance between any two retail outlets shall be determined by the most geographically direct street route between the closest identification sign located at each retail outlet.
​
The foregoing provision shall not restrict the operation of any retail outlet that may be set forth on Exhibit 16 hereto from time to time.  Exhibit 16 shall set forth all Exxon or Mobil branded retail outlets in the Designated Geographies existing as of the Effective Date.  Any new Exxon or Mobil branded retail outlet that is added to an existing branded wholesaler agreement between ExxonMobil and any of its existing branded wholesalers in the Designated Geographies shall be
​

6

​

added to Exhibit 16 by ExxonMobil.  Any Exxon or Mobil branded retail outlet that is debranded shall be deleted from Exhibit 16 by ExxonMobil.
​
3.           TRADEMARKS
​
(a)           BFA Holder is permitted to display the Proprietary Marks solely to designate the brand of the Products or other approved Businesses being operated at a BFA Holder Branded Outlet (which uses shall be limited to only the specific corresponding Authorized Use(s) as to each Proprietary Mark).  BFA Holder agrees that no Product will be sold under any of the Proprietary Marks unless it meets the product quality specifications set forth in this Agreement and is additized as specified in this Agreement nor shall any Business be operated unless it meets the quality specification and other standards (including any brand identity standards or retail image standards) existing as of the Effective Date or modified or established by ExxonMobil from time to time, as such standards and specifications may be amended from time to time after the Effective Date.  If there shall be posted, mounted, or otherwise displayed on or in connection with any BFA Holder Branded Outlet any sign, poster, placard, plate, device or form of advertising matter whether or not received from ExxonMobil, consisting in whole or in part of the name of ExxonMobil or any of the Proprietary Marks, BFA Holder agrees at all times to display same, or cause the Franchise Dealers to display same, properly and not to diminish, dilute, denigrate, or otherwise adversely affect same.  BFA Holder further agrees to take no action that will diminish or dilute the value of any Proprietary Mark.
​
(b)          Immediately upon termination (whether in full or as to any individual outlet) or expiration of this Agreement, or prior thereto upon demand by ExxonMobil, BFA Holder shall discontinue all uses of the Proprietary Marks, including the posting, mounting or display of any Proprietary Mark and all uses of Proprietary Marks in connection with business cards, advertisements and letterhead/stationary, and shall cause its Franchise Dealers to do the same.  If BFA Holder or any Franchise Dealer ceases to do business at any BFA Holder Branded Outlet, BFA Holder shall, and shall cause its Franchise Dealer to, discontinue the posting, mounting or display of any Proprietary Marks immediately upon BFA Holder or its Franchise Dealer(s), as the case may be, ceasing to sell the Products or operate the Business, including, without limitation, in the event that the BFA Holder Branded Outlet in question is debranded by ExxonMobil under Section 2(e) or in any event upon demand by ExxonMobil.  BFA Holder acknowledges ExxonMobil’s self-help rights set forth in this Agreement, including the rights of entry described in Sections 26(e) and 35, and agrees that BFA Holder shall be solely responsible for all fees, cost and expenses incurred by ExxonMobil or its Affiliates in exercising any such rights.
​
(c)           BFA Holder agrees to notify ExxonMobil or its designee of any apparent or threatened infringement, dilution or other misuse (“Misuse”) of any Proprietary Mark promptly after becoming aware of such Misuse.  ExxonMobil shall have the sole right, in its sole discretion, to take any action, legal or otherwise, against such Misuse, and notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, BFA Holder agrees to provide ExxonMobil with any assistance which, in the opinion or judgment of ExxonMobil, is necessary to protect ExxonMobil’s right, title and interest in and to the Proprietary Marks.  ExxonMobil shall be entitled in such event to retain all monetary recovery from any misusing third party by way of judgment, settlement or otherwise.  BFA Holder shall have no right to, and hereby agrees that it will not (except as requested by ExxonMobil), take any action, with respect to any apparent or threatened Misuse of any Proprietary Mark.  BFA Holder shall have no recourse against ExxonMobil, ExxonMobil’s agents, officers, directors, and employees or third parties under their control in the event ExxonMobil chooses not to act against any apparent or threatened Misuse of any of the Proprietary Marks or if any third party challenges the right of ExxonMobil or BFA Holder to use any of the Proprietary Marks.
​
(d)           BFA Holder shall not, and shall cause its Franchise Dealers not to, sell non-Exxon or Mobil-branded motor fuels under any Proprietary Mark, including without limitation, any Exxon or Mobil-identified canopy or at any fueling island where BFA Holder or a Franchise Dealer is selling Products. As used in this Section, “non-Exxon or Mobil-branded motor fuels” shall not be construed to apply to gasohol or other synthetic motor fuels of similar usability, to the extent
​

7

​

provided for in the Gasohol Competition Act of 1980, Pub. L.96-493 or renewable fuels as defined in Section 2807 of the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act; provided however, that BFA Holder and its Franchise Dealers shall label such product so as to ensure that consumers are not confused that such product is an Exxon or Mobil-branded motor fuel.
​
(e)          Without affecting BFA Holder’s obligations under Section 3(d), if BFA Holder or any Franchise Dealer offers non-Exxon or Mobil-branded motor fuels at a BFA Holder Branded Outlet, BFA Holder agrees to protect, and cause its Franchise Dealer(s) in question to protect, the identity of the Products and the Proprietary Marks by all reasonable methods, which would prevent customer confusion or misinformation. BFA Holder agrees to conform, and cause its Franchise Dealers to conform, to ExxonMobil’s de-branding requirements as outlined in Exhibits 9A and 9B, as same may be revised from time to time, including but not limited to posting of ExxonMobil approved signs which clearly distinguish the Products from non-Exxon or Mobil-branded motor fuels, disclaiming any product liability of ExxonMobil for damage resulting from use of non-Exxon or Mobil-branded motor fuels, and removing or covering any signs which may mislead, confuse, or misinform any customers or reduce their goodwill toward any Proprietary Mark. In addition, BFA Holder agrees to comply, and cause its Franchise Dealers to comply, with any additional steps beyond the ExxonMobil de-branding requirements set forth in any applicable law, ordinance or regulation regarding the labeling of petroleum products.
​
(f)           In furtherance of its obligations as set forth in this Section, BFA Holder agrees that it will for itself, and as to any of its Franchise Dealers, require of such Franchise Dealers that they will, while identifying the source of the Products sold at any BFA Holder Branded Outlet, comply with the provisions of this Section. Such assistance includes, but is not limited to, the authorization to ExxonMobil to commence legal proceedings in BFA Holder’s name, and at BFA Holder’s expense, for the purposes of enforcing BFA Holder’s obligations in this Section.
​
(g)          BFA Holder shall have neither the right to use or display at marinas, nor the right to authorize or permit the use or display at marinas by Franchise Dealers of, any Proprietary Mark and shall not sell, and shall cause its Franchise Dealers not to sell, Products at marinas.
​
(h)          To permit ExxonMobil to carry out its rights to protect its Proprietary Marks from diminution, dilution, or destruction by misuse or failure by those to whom permission to display them has been granted under this Agreement, BFA Holder agrees that upon request by ExxonMobil it will provide ExxonMobil with a list of the names and addresses of Franchise Dealers to whom BFA Holder has provided any Proprietary Mark and where such BFA Holder Branded Outlets are displaying such Proprietary Marks.
​
(i)           If BFA Holder, for whatever reason, ceases to display or authorize the display of Proprietary Marks at any BFA Holder Branded Outlet, then BFA Holder will notify ExxonMobil in writing within thirty (30) days of that event.
​
(j)           Except as may be expressly permitted by ExxonMobil, BFA Holder shall not, and shall cause its Franchise Dealers not to, use the Proprietary Marks as part of BFA Holder’s or any Franchise Dealer’s corporate or other name or as part of or in conjunction with any domain name.
​
(k)           BFA Holder shall, and shall cause its Franchise Dealers to, immediately stop using the Proprietary Marks relating to any Business at any BFA Holder Branded Outlet if:
​
(1)          this Agreement is terminated or the Term expires and is not renewed or extended; or
​
(2)          ExxonMobil withdraws its approval to use or operate that Business at that outlet under Section 2(e); or
​
(3)          BFA Holder or its Franchise Dealer(s) stops operating that Business at that outlet;
​

8

​

​
and, in any such event, to follow any de-branding requirements that may then be applicable.
​
(l)          BFA Holder’s use of any of the Proprietary Marks in conjunction with any uniforms, business cards or business stationary at all times shall be subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and all standards set forth by ExxonMobil or its Affiliates, as such standards may be amended by ExxonMobil or its Affiliates, in their sole discretion, from time to time.  All uniforms used in connection with the Businesses bearing any of the Proprietary Marks shall be purchased solely and exclusively from an ExxonMobil approved vendor.
​
(m)         BFA Holder acknowledges that ExxonMobil (or Exxon Mobil Corporation or any of its Affiliates as the case may be) is the exclusive owner of the Proprietary Marks, and no ExxonMobil act, or failure to act, will give BFA Holder or any Franchise Dealer any ownership interest or right in any of the Proprietary Marks. All goodwill resulting from the use of the Proprietary Marks by BFA Holder or its Franchise Dealers shall inure to the benefit, and is the property, of ExxonMobil (or its Affiliates as the case may be). ExxonMobil may, at any time or from time to time, change or substitute any Proprietary Marks used in connection with the Products or any Business. In case of any change or substitution, BFA Holder shall immediately use, and cause its Franchise Dealers to immediately use, the Proprietary Marks as changed.
​
(n)          BFA Holder hereby acknowledges that failure on the part of BFA Holder or its Franchise Dealer(s) to use any Proprietary Mark in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement will cause irreparable injury to ExxonMobil and that any court of competent jurisdiction may, at the request of ExxonMobil, enforce the provisions of this Agreement by the entry of a temporary or permanent injunction against BFA Holder and in favor of ExxonMobil.  BFA Holder agrees not to contest the appropriateness of injunctive relief but may contest whether it has failed to use the Proprietary Marks in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  BFA Holder will incorporate in its agreements with each Franchise Dealer the undertakings and obligations provided in this Agreement (including this Section 3).  BFA Holder agrees to immediately notify ExxonMobil of any Franchise Dealer failing to comply with any such undertaking or obligation and agrees to assist ExxonMobil in its enforcement thereof.
​
(o)          In order to foster the continued public acceptance of the Proprietary Marks and to protect the brand reputation of the Products which are the subject of this Agreement, BFA Holder will use best efforts to promptly inform ExxonMobil of any event or condition which will significantly impact the operation of any BFA Holder Branded Outlet or which has resulted in or may result in significant media exposure related to any BFA Holder Branded Outlets.

(a)           ExxonMobil shall have the right, at its sole discretion and at any time during the Term, to change, alter, amend or eliminate any of the grades or brands of Products or any Proprietary Marks covered by this Agreement.  ExxonMobil may also, in its sole discretion and from time to time, change or alter the quality or specification of any of the Products covered by this Agreement.  In the event that a certain grade, quality or specification of motor fuels is offered in one of the states within the Designated Geographies by more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the then existing non-Exxon or Mobil branded retail outlets that is not covered by this Agreement at that time, BFA Holder shall have the right to request that ExxonMobil consent to a change or alteration in, or addition to, the grades, quality or specifications of the Products to offer such grade, quality or specification of motor fuel in the relevant state within the Designated Geographies, and ExxonMobil shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such request.
​
(b)           ExxonMobil has provided BFA Holder a copy of “QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES FOR GASOLINES AND DIESEL FUEL” attached as Exhibit 10.  This is the same document furnished to Traditional Wholesalers who are purchasing motor fuel product directly from ExxonMobil.  BFA Holder agrees to store, handle, sell and dispense all fuel sold through BFA Holder Branded
​

9

​

Outlets in compliance with all the procedures and specifications set out in Exhibit 10 and to procure the compliance of its Franchise Dealers, notwithstanding the fact that BFA Holder is not purchasing motor fuel from ExxonMobil.  ExxonMobil reserves the right to revise the procedures and specifications at any time and BFA Holder agrees that it will, upon written notice of such revision, immediately begin compliance with the revised procedures and specifications and will procure compliance of its Franchise Dealers.  In the event BFA Holder fails to comply with this Section, ExxonMobil may, without limitation to any other remedies available to ExxonMobil, engage the services of an outside contract firm to perform sampling, testing and reporting.  The fees, costs and expenses of such outside contract firm shall be borne solely by BFA Holder.
​
(c)           Time is of the essence in complying with this Section 4.  BFA Holder is obligated to take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any potential losses or damage resulting from any product quality defects.  BFA Holder’s notice of consumer quality claims should be sent to the ExxonMobil Business Support Centre Canada, ULC, Attn: Branded Wholesaler Contract Team Lead, P.O. Box 2245, Buffalo, NY 14240-2245.
​
5.            PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION.
​
(a)           ExxonMobil and BFA Holder acknowledge and agree that this is not a product sales or supply agreement.  ExxonMobil has no obligation under this Agreement or otherwise to supply BFA Holder with either branded or unbranded motor fuel products or its proprietary additive package, including without limitation, gasoline and diesel.  BFA Holder is solely responsible for securing and paying for Base Product and the additive package, which meet all federal, state, and local regulatory and product quality standards in effect for motor fuels offered for sale through retail outlets in the Designated Geographies.  Base Product must also meet ExxonMobil quality specifications as more specifically set out in Exhibit 3 (as confirmed by testing as described in Exhibit 3).  BFA Holder shall participate in ExxonMobil’s annual Marker Program in order to confirm compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and ExxonMobil’s standards.
​
(b)          BFA Holder shall not (i) acquire any motor fuels from ExxonMobil or any of its Affiliates within the Designated Geographies, nor (ii) acquire any motor fuels from ExxonMobil or any of its Affiliates within the United States of America for resale as motor fuel in the Designated Geographies.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, BFA Holder shall be permitted to purchase motor fuels from ExxonMobil through in tank sales for a time period beginning on the Effective Date and ending upon the later of (A) one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Effective Date, and (B) December 31, 2010.
​
(c)           BFA Holder shall procure the additives identified on Exhibit 4 from only those suppliers specified on Exhibit 4 (or such other supplier as may be subsequently identified by ExxonMobil).  BFA Holder shall additize the Base Product in accordance with the specifications set forth in Exhibit 4, using industry standard computer controlled additive injection equipment, prior to distribution through any BFA Holder Branded Outlet as Product.  In the event that BFA Holder desires a waiver from ExxonMobil with respect to the specified additive or suppliers, or the fuel quality specifications, BFA Holder shall contact the appropriate ExxonMobil fuels quality manager to discuss such a request, as provided on Exhibit 4.
​
(d)           BFA Holder will bear full financial responsibility for the cost of installation and maintenance of additive racks at all terminals from which it distributes Products.  If ExxonMobil desires that a third party(s) with whom it has a brand fee agreement or other license, distribution or wholeasaler agreement have access, BFA Holder agrees to allow that third party(ies) to use the additive system on a terminal by terminal basis and shall charge such third party(s) commercially reasonable rates for such access.
​
(e)           ExxonMobil agrees to undertake reasonable efforts to cooperate with BFA Holder as BFA Holder attempts to negotiate supply and/or additive injection arrangements with potential supply partners, provided that ExxonMobil is not obligated hereby to waive or amend any rights it has under this Agreement or undertake any financial obligations not set forth in this Agreement.

​
(d)          BFA Holder acknowledges and agrees that all programs referenced in Sections 6(b) and 6(c) hereof are subject to change or cancellation at ExxonMobil’s sole discretion and that ExxonMobil may, from time to time and in its discretion, add new or existing programs to the required programs list or the eligible programs list.

​
(ii)           If a Sub-Jobber Outlet has been added pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as of any Annual Recalculation Date that resulted from the assignment by ExxonMobil to BFA Holder of an existing branded wholesaler agreement, then in addition to the Brand Fee calculated pursuant to Section 7(b)(i), BFA Holder shall pay to ExxonMobil on each anniversary of the Effective Date a one-time fee in amount equal to $** for each such Sub-Jobber Outlet added as of the immediately preceding Annual Recalculation Date.

Payments of brand fees relating to each
​

15

​

subsequent month during the Term shall be made on the 15th day of each month immediately preceding the month to which such brand fee applies (for example, brand fees for March 2010 operations shall be paid by BFA Holder to ExxonMobil no later than February 15, 2010).  In the event any payment date is not a Business Day, then the payment shall be made on the prior Business Day.  In addition, on the Effective Date, BFA Holder shall pay to ExxonMobil for each BFA Holder Branded Outlet that is participating (or has participated) in the BIP (as defined in Section 19(d)(1)) an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the total amount of financial assistance that ExxonMobil has paid under the BIP (whether through a direct payment, set-off, credit or other indirect payment) with respect to such retail outlet times (the number of days remaining in the branding obligation with respect to such retail outlet divided by the total number of days of the branding obligation with respect to such retail outlet) and (ii) the compensatory dollar amount collectable as of the Effective Date with respect to such retail outlet in the event of a default under the BIP.

​
(b)          In the event ExxonMobil does not receive payment on or before the due date, ExxonMobil may impose, and BFA Holder will pay, a late payment charge for each day that passes between the due date and the date ExxonMobil receives payment.

​
(c)          ExxonMobil has the right, but not the obligation, to offset any amounts owed by BFA Holder or any of its Affiliates to ExxonMobil or any of its Affiliates against any amounts owed by ExxonMobil or any of its Affiliates to BFA Holder or any of its Affiliates, whether arising from charges under this Agreement, or arising under any other agreement or business transaction between the BFA Holder or any of its Affiliates and ExxonMobil and/or any of its Affiliates.
​
(d)          If requested by ExxonMobil, BFA Holder shall provide to ExxonMobil and maintain security in an amount not to exceed three (3) months of the Brand Fees calculated pursuant to Section 7 and in such forms, in either case as ExxonMobil may specify in its sole discretion (“Security”), including without limitation a letter of credit, cash deposit, or assignment, mortgage or pledge of cash, savings accounts or real estate or other collateral which is acceptable to ExxonMobil.  ExxonMobil may use, without prior notice or demand, any or all of the Security to set off or satisfy all or any part of any indebtedness or obligation of BFA Holder to ExxonMobil or its Affiliates whether arising under this Agreement, any other agreement or from any other business transaction between the parties.  If ExxonMobil uses any Security to satisfy all or any part of any such indebtedness or obligation, BFA Holder shall immediately provide ExxonMobil with additional security, as directed by ExxonMobil, to replace the Security used by ExxonMobil.  Following non-renewal or termination of this Agreement and the Franchise Relationship, ExxonMobil shall return to BFA Holder, in accordance with ExxonMobil’s procedures then in effect, any remaining portion of the Security not required to satisfy all or any part of any indebtedness or other obligation of BFA Holder to ExxonMobil or its Affiliates howsoever arising.  At ExxonMobil’s request at any time during the Term, BFA Holder shall execute and deliver to ExxonMobil a security agreement, financing statement, mortgage, deed of trust or other documentation as ExxonMobil may specify in such form and with such terms as ExxonMobil may specify, to establish or perfect ExxonMobil’s security interest in the Security.
​

​
(a)          ExxonMobil may issue branded credit cards (“ExxonMobil Cards”) and process and pay for ExxonMobil Card sales tickets submitted to ExxonMobil in accordance with the terms of the applicable card guide.

​

16

​

any time its methods or terms of issuing, or authorizing the issuance of, ExxonMobil Cards and other cards and its methods or terms of processing and paying, or authorizing the processing and payment of, ExxonMobil Cards and other card sales tickets. Nothing in this Agreement obligates ExxonMobil or Third Party Issuer(s) to issue ExxonMobil Cards and other cards or to process for payment ExxonMobil Cards and other card sales tickets.
​
(b)          BFA Holder agrees to be bound by and comply with all terms and conditions of any card guide or agreement under which ExxonMobil or Third Party Issuer(s) agrees to process and pay for ExxonMobil Cards and other card sales tickets.

​
(c)          If Third Party Issuer(s) agrees to pay BFA Holder for ExxonMobil Card or other card sales tickets submitted for payment in accordance with the terms of the applicable card guide or agreement, BFA Holder will look solely to Third Party Issuer(s) and not to ExxonMobil for such payment.  Should ExxonMobil elect to (or otherwise) pay all or any portion of any card sales ticket charged back by Third Party Issuer(s) to BFA Holder, upon demand from ExxonMobil, BFA Holder shall immediately reimburse ExxonMobil for any such payments made by ExxonMobil.
​
(d)          ExxonMobil has the right, but not the obligation, to offset any amounts owed by ExxonMobil or any of its Affiliates to BFA Holder or any of its Affiliates against any amounts owed by BFA Holder or any of its Affiliates to ExxonMobil or any of its Affiliates, whether arising under this Agreement, any other agreement or from any other business transaction between the parties or any of their Affiliates. ExxonMobil has the right, but not the obligation, to instruct a Third Party Issuer(s) to pay ExxonMobil rather than BFA Holder for ExxonMobil Card and other card sales tickets submitted by BFA Holder to Third Party Issuer(s), to apply against the payment of any amounts owed by BFA Holder to ExxonMobil whether arising under this Agreement, any other agreement or from any other business transaction between the parties.
​
(e)          If BFA Holder requests ExxonMobil or Third Party Issuer(s) to accept assignment of credit or debit card tickets from and make return payment directly to any Franchise Dealers, and ExxonMobil or Third Party Issuer(s) agrees, in its sole discretion, to accept such assignments, BFA Holder agrees that such assignments shall be treated for all purposes as if assigned directly by BFA Holder, charge-backs of reassigned credit or debit sales tickets received from such Franchise Dealers shall be the responsibility of BFA Holder, and that such charge-backs may be deducted from sums owed by ExxonMobil or Third Party Issuer(s) to BFA Holder.
​
(f)           If BFA Holder or a Franchised Dealer accepts credit or debit cards in payment for any sales of any goods or services, then BFA Holder shall comply with and shall require all such Franchised Dealers to comply with all industry standard card security procedures, specifically including but not limited to (i) the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI), (ii) the security standards and requirements imposed on merchants by the VISA Operating Rules, (iii) the security standards and requirements imposed on merchants by the MasterCard Operating Rules, (iv) the security standards and requirements imposed on merchants by American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., and its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and (v) the security standards and requirements imposed on merchants by DFS Services LLC and its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates. The foregoing duty is in addition to any duties that BFA Holder may have under an applicable card guide or agreement pursuant to subsection (a) above. In addition to all other duties to indemnify, BFA Holder will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ExxonMobil from and against all causes of action, costs, expenses, fees, assessments, reimbursements, fines, penalties and/or losses of whatsoever nature and howsoever arising that result directly or indirectly from BFA Holder’s failure or alleged failure to comply with the requirements of this subsection.

​
11.         FAILURE TO PERFORM.
​
(a)          Any delays in or failure of performance of either party hereto shall not constitute default hereunder or give rise to any claims for damages if and to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by occurrences beyond the control of the party affected, including, but not limited to, acts of God or the public enemy; expropriation or confiscation of facilities; compliance with any order or request of any governmental authority; acts of war, terrorism, rebellion or sabotage or damage resulting therefrom; embargoes or other import or export restrictions; fires, floods, explosions, accidents, or breakdowns; riots; strikes or other concerted acts of workers, whether direct or indirect; inability to obtain necessary industrial supplies, energy, or equipment; or any other causes whether or not of the same class or kind as those specifically above named which are not within the control of the party affected and which, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, said party is unable to prevent or provide against; provided that such causes shall exclude specifically changes in the national or world economy or financial markets or changes in general economic conditions or the economic conditions of the party failing to perform.  A party whose performance is affected by any of the causes set forth in the preceding sentence shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party.  Neither party hereto shall be obligated to settle strikes, differences with workmen or government claims by acceding to any demands when in the discretion of the party whose performance is interfered with, it would be inadvisable to accede to such demands.
​

​
(c)          ExxonMobil shall be under no obligation to furnish additives hereunder at any time.

If the effect of any change in any Regulation or of any new Regulation (a) is not covered by any other provision of this Agreement, and (b) in the affected party’s judgment, either (1) has an adverse effect upon the party (or if ExxonMobil, upon ExxonMobil’s Affiliates or suppliers) or (2) increases the risk to the affected party of performance under this Agreement, the affected party may request re-negotiation of the terms of this Agreement. Such right to request re-negotiation or, upon failure to agree, to terminate, shall without limitation also be available to ExxonMobil if Regulations:
​
(a)          Regulate the brand fee provided for in this Agreement; and/or
​

13.         MARKET DEVELOPMENT AND REPRESENTATION.
​
(a)         A primary business purpose of ExxonMobil is to optimize effective and efficient distribution and representation of Products through planned market and image development. In furtherance of this business purpose, BFA Holder and ExxonMobil agree as follows:
​
(1)         While it is not a requirement of this Agreement, ExxonMobil believes that it is important for BFA Holder to have, and periodically update, a market development plan. The plan should provide for the selection and acquisition, or otherwise securing by BFA Holder for the purposes of branding under this Agreement, of “strategic sites” (as defined from time to time by ExxonMobil) as BFA Holder Branded Outlets, and should provide for the development of optimal facilities, effective operating practices, and the necessary financial and management resources necessary to comply with all provisions of this Agreement.

The reference to “entity” in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to include any other entity owned or controlled by the person or entity having the aforementioned PMPA Franchise Agreement directly with ExxonMobil or any of its Affiliates.  An example of an entity having a PMPA Franchise Agreement pertaining to a specific retail outlet is a “direct served dealer”.
​
(3)         Unless pursuant to specific prior written authorization from ExxonMobil, BFA Holder shall not, directly or indirectly, sell or supply, or cause to be sold or supplied, any Products to any retail outlet(s) other than BFA Holder Branded Outlets.
​
(b)          BFA Holder shall cause all BFA Holder Branded Outlets to meet the following minimum facility/product/service requirements (unless such compliance will result in the BFA Holder or Franchise Dealer, as the case may be, being in breach of any federal, state, county or local laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations, rules, orders, or permits) or BFA Holder shall lose the right to use or display Proprietary Marks or to grant to its Franchise Dealers the right to use or display Proprietary Marks at any BFA Holder Branded Outlet(s) failing to meet these requirements:
​
(1)          Paved driveways with safe and good ingress and egress; and
​
(2)          Permanent building which is structurally sound and complies with all fire, building and zoning codes and ordinances; and
​
(3)          Clean premises free of debris, trash, and fire hazards; and
​
(4)          Modern restrooms for men and women available to the general public; and
​
(5)          Offer, at the Operated Mobil Branded Outlets and the Franchised Mobil Branded Outlets, all grades of Mobil-branded motor gasoline that may be in the Mobil product slate, and, at the Operated Exxon Branded Outlets and the Franchised Exxon Branded Outlets, all grades of Exxon-branded motor gasoline that may be in the Exxon product slate, each such slate as may be set by ExxonMobil and its Affiliates from time to time (consisting of three (3) grades each for the Mobil product slate and the Exxon product slate as of the Effective Date); and
​

19

​

(6)          Posting, at all times, of actual motor fuel prices, in numerals, in price sign systems (approved by ExxonMobil in its sole discretion) located on the premises of the BFA Holder Branded Outlet(s); and
​
(7)          Compliance, as to each site, no later than the earlier of (A) the completion of any Demolish and Rebuild or other site improvement work reasonably expected to require an investment by BFA Holder or any Franchise Dealer of $100,000 or more and (B) the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, with all applicable standards as described in Exhibit 7 (“Facility Requirements”), which is incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement.
​
14.        SERVICES BY EXXONMOBIL.

(b)         At any time or from time to time, ExxonMobil may add, discontinue or change any of the services under Section 14(a) and may impose conditions or criteria for the availability to BFA Holder of any of such services.  ExxonMobil may have all or a portion of any services provided by persons designated by ExxonMobil.  From time to time, ExxonMobil may charge BFA Holder fees, or require BFA Holder to pay fees to ExxonMobil’s third party designee(s) in consideration for providing the services set out in Section 14(a).
​
15.         PROMOTION OF PRODUCTS.

BFA Holder shall expressly require all Franchise Dealers to (a) agree to such review and control by ExxonMobil and (b) comply with the notice requirements set forth in this Section.  BFA Holder shall be responsible for compliance (both by BFA Holder and by its Franchise
​

​

Dealers) with any and all applicable federal, state, county or local advertising laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations, rules, orders, or permits.
​
(b)          In promoting the Products and developing markets under this Agreement (including in the use of business cards and business stationary), (i) BFA Holder, in its role as branded wholesaler, shall identify itself appropriately as an “Exxon-authorized branded wholesaler” or a “Mobil-authorized branded wholesaler,” as the case may be, and only as such and (ii) BFA Holder, in its role as dealer, and each Franchise Dealer shall identify itself as an “Exxon-authorized dealer” or a “Mobil-authorized dealer,” as the case may be, and only as such.

​
(b)          BFA Holder also agrees that, as to any of its Franchise Dealers, BFA Holder will include in its arrangements with such Franchise Dealers the undertakings provided in this Section in respect of each Franchised Branded Outlet and will undertake the enforcement thereof. BFA Holder further agrees that ExxonMobil may revoke the right of BFA Holder to display Proprietary Marks at any Operated Branded Outlet(s), or to permit the display of Proprietary Marks at any Franchised Branded Outlet(s) which, after notice by ExxonMobil to BFA Holder to cure, continues to be in violation of this Section.
​

​
20.         INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

​

service bays) including but not limited to, coverage for fire, theft, riot, vandalism and collision with limits of at least fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) for each occurrence.
​
(4)         Workers Compensation and Employers Liability insurance for all BFA Holder’s employees engaged in performing services or similar social insurance, where required by federal, state, county or local laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations, rules, orders, or permits which may be applicable to BFA Holder’s employees with a waiver of subrogation and/or contribution against ExxonMobil where such waiver is permitted by federal, state, county or local laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations, rules, orders, or permits.
​
(5)          Environmental impairment insurance coverage with policy limits of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a continuous and uninterrupted basis insuring BFA Holder for environmental legal liabilities arising out of, but not limited to, the sale of motor fuel products and lubricants, ownership and operation of the Businesses, retail motor fuel stores and the premises at each Operated Branded Outlet.
​
(b)          BFA Holder may meet its obligations under this Agreement for environmental impairment insurance coverage for underground storage tanks under Section 20(a)(5) by participation in an Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) approved state financial assurance fund or other EPA-approved method to demonstrate financial responsibility or by satisfying any of the other financial assurance test requirements of the EPA’s Financial Responsibility Regulations (40 CFR Part 280).  Upon request by ExxonMobil, BFA Holder shall promptly furnish ExxonMobil with documentation satisfactory to ExxonMobil evidencing:
​
(1)          BFA Holder’s participation in a state approved financial assurance fund or other EPA-approved method to demonstrate financial responsibility; or
​
(2)          Compliance with the EPA’s financial assurance test requirements.
​
If at any time BFA Holder ceases participating in an approved state financial assurance fund or other EPA-approved method to demonstrate financial responsibility or stops meeting the EPA’s financial assurance test requirements, as the case may be, BFA Holder promptly shall obtain the insurance required under Section 20(a)(5) and provide ExxonMobil with evidence of insurance in accordance with Section 20(a)(5).

​
(c)          ExxonMobil may from time to time require BFA Holder, and/or cause BFA Holder to require any of its Franchise Dealers, to carry additional types and amounts of insurance coverage, including modifications to existing insurance under this Section, as ExxonMobil considers reasonable in the circumstances.
​
(d)          Each policy of insurance described in this Section 20 shall name ExxonMobil Oil Corporation as additional insured (except Workers Compensation and Employers Liability) and shall be primary as to all other policies that may provide coverage.

​
(e)          BFA Holder shall comply, and cause its Franchise Dealers to comply, with all policy terms and conditions and the directions of the insurance carrier, its ratings bureau and the National Fire Protection Association.  BFA Holder, or its Franchise Dealer(s) as the case may be, shall bear all claims, losses or damages that are not recoverable from BFA Holder’s, or the Franchise Dealer’s, as the case may be, insurers due to the application of a deductible clause or to BFA Holder’s, or
​

24

​

the Franchise Dealer’s, failure to observe the terms and conditions of the insurance coverage.  BFA Holder shall indemnify and defend ExxonMobil for all these unrecoverable claims, losses or damages, including without limitation any arising from Franchise Dealers.  Without limiting the general requirements of this Section 20, ExxonMobil may reject any policies which contain deductibility clauses, conditions or exclusions, or that are underwritten by insurance companies, that are unacceptable in ExxonMobil’s reasonable determination.  Upon rejection of a policy, BFA Holder promptly shall procure, and cause its Franchise Dealer(s) to promptly procure, a policy with provisions and by an underwriter reasonably acceptable to ExxonMobil.  ExxonMobil’s receipt or acceptance of any policy or evidence of insurance is not a waiver by ExxonMobil of any requirement under this Section 20 or of its right to reject the policy as unacceptable and does not affect BFA Holder’s, or its Franchise Dealer’s as the case may be, liability for claims, losses or damages that are or would have been covered by BFA Holder’s, or such Franchise Dealer’s, full compliance with this Section 20.
​
(f)          During the Term, each insurance policy and certificate of insurance of BFA Holder must specify the insurance will not be terminated, canceled or materially changed without ten (10) days’ prior written notice to ExxonMobil.  If a policy or policies is/are terminated, canceled or materially changed, BFA Holder shall promptly, prior to the termination, cancellation or change of that policy, procure a new or substitute policy containing at least the same coverage as the previous policy.  The new policy must begin coverage prior to the expiration of the previous policy or prior to the effective date of the material change, as applicable.  BFA Holder shall cause all of its Franchise Dealers to comply with this Section 20(f) with respect to each insurance policy and certificate of insurance.
​
(g)          Prior to the Effective Date, and at any time upon request by ExxonMobil, BFA Holder shall furnish to ExxonMobil, or its representative, certificates of insurance, specifying the types and amounts of coverage in effect, expiration dates, confirmation that each policy complies with the requirements of this Section (or the relevant section of BFA Holder’s franchise agreement with the Franchise Dealer as the case may be), and specifying that no insurance shall be terminated, canceled or materially changed during the Term without ten (10) days’ prior written notice to ExxonMobil.  Upon request by ExxonMobil, BFA Holder shall furnish to ExxonMobil or its representatives copies of the required insurance policies.
​
(h)          Nothing in this Section 20 in any way limits or waives BFA Holder’s legal or contractual responsibilities to ExxonMobil or others.
​
(i)          BFA Holder shall cause its Franchise Dealers, with respect to operations at Franchised Branded Outlets, to carry insurance of the types and in the amounts, as are necessary and customary for the operation of such Franchised Branded Outlets.
​
(j)          Without limiting any other remedy available to ExxonMobil, including termination or non-renewal of this Agreement and the Franchise Relationship, ExxonMobil may debrand any BFA Holder Branded Outlet(s) that fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 20.
​
(k)          If BFA Holder, for any reason, fails to procure and maintain required insurance satisfactory to ExxonMobil, ExxonMobil may, at ExxonMobil’s election and upon notice to BFA Holder, immediately procure the required insurance.  Upon ExxonMobil’s request, BFA Holder promptly shall furnish ExxonMobil with all information relating to BFA Holder or the Businesses requested by ExxonMobil in connection with the procurement of any required insurance.  Upon written demand, BFA Holder shall immediately reimburse ExxonMobil for the costs of procuring the insurance.  ExxonMobil’s right to procure insurance under this Section 20 may not be construed as an obligation by ExxonMobil to procure any insurance and does not preclude ExxonMobil from exercising other rights or remedies it may have under this Agreement including debranding of the BFA Holder Branded Outlet(s) in question and termination or non-renewal of this Agreement and
​

25

​

the Franchise Relationship.  ExxonMobil’s election not to procure any insurance under this Section 20 may not be construed as:
​
(1)            A waiver of BFA Holder’s obligations under Sections 20 and 21; or
​
(2)            Limiting ExxonMobil’s right to exercise any other right or remedy, including debranding of the BFA Holder Branded Outlet(s) in question and termination or non-renewal of this Agreement and the Franchise Relationship.
​
(l)          ExxonMobil is entitled to the full coverage of any insurance procured by BFA Holder, its Franchise Dealers or ExxonMobil under this Section 20 but in no event less than the minimum coverage required by Section 20(a).  The minimum limits specified in Section 20(a) do not limit or affect ExxonMobil’s right to full insurance coverage or ExxonMobil’s rights under Section 21.  If BFA Holder does not own or lease transport to carry the Products, BFA Holder shall cause any person engaged by BFA Holder to carry the Products at all times to maintain insurance at levels required by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act.
​
(m)         The insurance coverages specified in this Agreement are required to the extent they are reasonably available as determined solely by ExxonMobil.
​
21.         INDEMNIFICATION.
​
(a)          BFA Holder assumes the risk of and sole responsibility for maintaining and operating, all real property, fixtures, tanks, equipment, and personal property used in connection with, or in any way related to, its operations, conduct or business or the operations, conduct or business of its Franchise Dealers, in a safe condition free of all hazards and risks and in compliance with all applicable federal, state, county and local laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations, rules, orders, and permits.  Such responsibility will include, but not be limited to, providing tanks safe and fit for the storage and handling of Products.
​

26.         TERMINATION.
​
(a)         This Agreement and the Franchise Relationship shall terminate upon expiration of the Term.
​
(b)         This Agreement and the Franchise Relationship may be terminated by BFA Holder in the event that ExxonMobil loses, or transfers to a third party (other than to an Affiliate of ExxonMobil), the right to grant BFA Holder the right to use either of the Proprietary Marks used to brand Branded Fuel that BFA Holder is using pursuant to this Agreement as of the date ExxonMobil loses or transfers such right.
​
(c)          This Agreement and the Franchise Relationship may be terminated by ExxonMobil:
​
(1)         Upon transfer or assignment of this Agreement by BFA Holder contrary to Section 22; or
​
(2)          If BFA Holder or any Key Person, manager, or stockholder makes any false or materially misleading statement or representation (by act or by omission) which induces ExxonMobil to enter into this Agreement, or which is relevant to the Franchise Relationship between the parties hereto; or
​
(3)           If BFA Holder becomes insolvent; or
​
​

28

​

(4)          If BFA Holder fails to pay in a timely manner any sums when due hereunder (other than any sums that are being contested by BFA Holder in good faith); or
​
(5)          If BFA Holder defaults in any of its obligations under this Agreement; or
​
(6)          If BFA Holder or any Key Person is declared incompetent to manage its property or affairs by any court, or if BFA Holder or any Key Person is mentally or physically disabled for three (3) months or more, to the extent that BFA Holder is unable to provide for the continued proper operation of the Businesses; or
​
(7)          Under the circumstances described cause for termination by ExxonMobil in any Section of this Agreement; or
​
(8)          If BFA Holder or any Key Person dies, to the extent that BFA Holder is unable to provide for the continued proper operation of the Businesses; or
​
(9)          If BFA Holder or any Key Person, manager, or stockholder engages in fraud or criminal misconduct relevant to the operation of the Businesses; or
​
(10)        If BFA Holder or any Key Person, manager, or stockholder is convicted of a felony or of a misdemeanor involving fraud, moral turpitude or commercial dishonesty, whether or not the crime arose from the operation of the Businesses; or
​
(11)        If BFA Holder breaches Section 3 by willfully committing an act of misbranding of the Products or misuses the Proprietary Marks; or
​
(12)        If there occurs any other circumstance under which termination of a Franchise is permitted under the provisions of the PMPA; or
​
(13)        ExxonMobil loses the right to grant the right to use any of the Proprietary Marks.
​
For purposes of section (4) and (5) above, BFA Holder shall be entitled to notice of any such default from ExxonMobil and a reasonable time period in which to cure such default, before ExxonMobil exercises its right to terminate this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event of a recurring default by BFA Holder of an obligation under this Agreement, ExxonMobil shall have no obligation to provide further notice or opportunities for BFA Holder’s cure prior to exercising its right to terminate this Agreement.
​
(d)          If ExxonMobil has cause to believe that BFA Holder has engaged in fraudulent, unscrupulous or unethical business practices (which shall include but not be limited to practices forbidden by federal, state, county or local laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations, rules, orders, or permits), ExxonMobil may, at its sole discretion, give BFA Holder written notice of its belief.  Following the receipt of such notice, BFA Holder shall be given reasonable opportunity to discuss the matter with ExxonMobil’s representatives.  If following such discussions (or reasonable opportunity therefor) and after such investigation of the matter as is reasonable under the circumstances, ExxonMobil reaches a good faith conclusion that BFA Holder has engaged in one or more such practices, ExxonMobil shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.
​
(e)          Any termination of this Agreement by ExxonMobil shall be preceded by such notice from ExxonMobil as may be required by law.
​

29

​

(f)          Upon the expiration of the Term or upon termination hereof, ExxonMobil shall have the right, at its option, to enter, during normal operating hours, upon any premises at which the Proprietary Marks are displayed (including, without limitation all BFA Holder Branded Outlets), and to remove, paint out, or obliterate any signs, symbols or colors on said premises or on the buildings or equipment thereof which in ExxonMobil’s opinion would lead a purchaser to believe that the Products are being offered for sale at such premises.  BFA Holder shall cause its Franchise Dealers to grant ExxonMobil such a right of entry.
​
(g)          In the event this Agreement is terminated, ExxonMobil will suffer substantial damages which are anticipated to be difficult and time consuming to prove with exactitude.  Furthermore, both parties are desirous of avoiding what they believe will be the disproportionate cost of possible litigation and legal fees which a future dispute over the magnitude of such damages would engender.  The parties, therefore, have determined that if this Agreement is terminated, BFA Holder must pay to ExxonMobil as liquidated damages (in addition to any damages (liquidated or otherwise) payable to ExxonMobil under any other agreement between BFA Holder and ExxonMobil), and not as a penalty, an amount rounded to the nearest dollar, equal to ** times (the Initial Total Volume set forth on Exhibit 15) times (the number of years, including any partial year, remaining in the initial fifteen-year Term after such termination).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, BFA Holder shall not pay to ExxonMobil any liquidated damages under this Section 26(g) in the event that this Agreement is terminated: (i) in connection with a market withdrawal under the provisions of the PMPA; (ii) by ExxonMobil pursuant to Section 12; (iii) by BFA Holder pursuant to Section 26(b); or (iv) by ExxonMobil pursuant to Section 26(c)(13) (except, in the case of this subsection (iv), in the event ExxonMobil’s loss of the right to grant the right to use any of the Proprietary Marks is attributable to BFA Holder or any of its Affiliates or franchisees).
​
(h)         Termination of this Agreement by either party for any reason shall not relieve the parties of any obligation theretofore accrued under this Agreement.
​
27.         ACCORD.
​
The parties to this Agreement have discussed the provisions herein and find them fair and mutually satisfactory, and further agree that in all respects the provisions are reasonable and of material significance to the relationship of the parties hereunder, and that any breach of a provision by either party hereto or a failure to carry out said provisions in good faith shall conclusively be deemed to be substantial.
​
28.         NATURE AND MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT.
​
(a)          In consideration of the granting and execution of this Agreement, the parties understand and agree that they are not contractually obligated to extend or renew in any way the Term, and that this Agreement shall not be considered or deemed to be any form of “joint venture” or “partnership” at the premise(s) of BFA Holder or elsewhere (including without limitation any BFA Holder Branded Outlet).
​
(b)         BFA Holder agrees to provide sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of any change in the name or legal form of BFA Holder.
​
(c)         This Agreement may be modified only in writing signed by both parties or their duly authorized agents.

​
29.         SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS.
​
Both parties expressly agree that it is the intention of neither party to violate statutory or common law and that if any section, sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of same is in violation of any law, such
​

30

​

sentences, paragraphs, clauses or combination of same shall be inoperative and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain binding upon the parties hereto.
​
30.         ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

If, in the sole opinion of ExxonMobil, any samples thus taken are not Products or any document or record shows BFA Holder has failed to comply with its obligations hereunder (or failed to cause any Franchise Dealer to so comply), ExxonMobil may, at its sole option, debrand the BFA Holder Branded Outlet(s) in question or cancel and terminate this Agreement and the Franchise Relationship.  ExxonMobil shall provide notice to BFA Holder of entry at an License Branded Outlet, except in the case of any such entry in connection with ExxonMobil’s product quality inspections.

​
37.         DRUG AND ALCOHOL.
​
(a)          In the event BFA Holder takes delivery of Products from ExxonMobil at ExxonMobil’s (or its Affiliates’) facilities, the following provisions of this Section shall apply.

​
(i)           Any such claims by BFA Holder or by ExxonMobil shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration administered by the AAA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and shall be binding on the parties.
​
(ii)          In the event a claim by BFA Holder raises issues that are governed exclusively by the PMPA as well as issues that must be submitted to arbitration hereunder, the claims under the PMPA shall be severed and raised, if at all, in litigation.  The remaining claims shall be resolved by arbitration, as provided herein.
​
(iii)        The arbitration shall be held before a sole arbitrator who shall be selected by agreement of the parties.

If, for any reason, an arbiter or a court determines that the parties’ agreement prohibiting class claims  is not enforceable, the class claims must be brought as a class action litigation and not as a class action arbitration.
​
(vi)         Irrespective of which party commences the arbitration procedure hereunder, the filing fee required to be paid to the AAA shall be paid by ExxonMobil.  All other costs of the arbitration, including the fees to be paid to the arbitrator, shall be shared equally by the parties.  Each party shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by it in presenting its case, including any attorney’s fees.
​
(c)          Severability.

(d)          ExxonMobil shall have no obligation of confidence with respect to any information disclosed to ExxonMobil by BFA Holder, and ExxonMobil shall be free to use or disclose any or all of the information contained in any drawing, record or other document to third parties without accounting to BFA Holder therefor; unless, however, information is specifically covered by a separate, written confidentiality agreement.  In the absence of any such confidentiality agreement, BFA Holder shall not place any restrictive notices on any information, no matter the form of its recording, that BFA Holder provides to ExxonMobil hereunder.  Should BFA Holder place any

​
(e)          BFA Holder shall establish and maintain precautions to prevent its employees, agents or representatives and Franchise Dealers from making, receiving, providing, or offering substantial gifts, entertainment, payments, loans, or other consideration to employees, agents, or representatives of ExxonMobil for the purpose of influencing those persons to act contrary to the best interests of ExxonMobil.  This obligation shall apply to BFA Holder’s activities in its relations with the employees of ExxonMobil and their families and/or third parties arising from this Agreement.
​
(f)          BFA Holder agrees that all financial settlements, billings, and reports, if any, rendered to ExxonMobil shall reflect properly the facts about all activities and transactions handled for the account of ExxonMobil, which data may be relied upon as being complete and accurate in any further recordings and reportings made by ExxonMobil for whatever purpose.
​
(g)          BFA Holder agrees to notify ExxonMobil promptly upon discovery of any instance where the BFA Holder or BFA Holder’s employees, agents, representatives or Franchise Dealer fails to comply with Sections 40(e) or (f).
​
(h)          BFA Holder acknowledges its receipt of the notices attached hereto as Exhibit 12.  BFA Holder has reviewed and understands the information set forth therein.
​
41.         RHODE ISLAND - PRICE PROVISION.
​
The following provision is applicable only to those BFA Holder Branded Outlets located in the State of Rhode Island:
​
NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO PROHIBIT A FRANCHISOR FROM SUGGESTING PRICES AND COUNSELING WITH FRANCHISEES CONCERNING PRICES.  PRICE FIXING OR MANDATORY PRICES FOR ANY PRODUCTS COVERED IN THIS AGREEMENT IS PROHIBITED.  A SERVICE STATION DEALER OR BRANDED WHOLESALER MAY SELL ANY PRODUCTS LISTED IN THIS AGREEMENT FOR A PRICE WHICH HE ALONE MAY DECIDE.
​
42.         INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS; INDEPENDENT ADVICE.
​
It is expressly agreed that the parties will carry on their respective business pursuant to this Agreement as independent contractors in pursuit of their independent callings and not as partners, fiduciaries, agents, or in any other capacity. Each party has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice respecting this Agreement and the business relations mentioned in this Agreement.

Youth Access to Tobacco
​
Dear ExxonMobil Branded Wholesaler:
​
As you have probably heard, ExxonMobil announced that it is further enhancing measures to curb sales of tobacco products to minors at its company-operated stores.  This is part of a mutual cooperation agreement that the company has entered into with the Attorneys General of 43 states.
​
While the agreement, for the most part, addresses tobacco sales at ExxonMobil company-operated stores, we also recognize that many of our branded wholesalers and dealers sell tobacco products and can benefit, should they so choose, from the practices and programs we will be putting in place at our company stores.  Those practices will include, among others, access to signage, training, and compliance checks designed to limit sales to underage customers.  The sale of tobacco products is an important part of the overall customer offering of many, if not most, of our branded wholesalers and dealers.  We hope that our agreement and the information that we share with you will ensure that those sales are made responsibly.
​
The new ExxonMobil branded wholesaler and dealer motor fuels franchise agreements contain provisions that prohibit the sale of tobacco products to underage customers as prescribed in any local, state or federal regulation.  The agreements also require that branded wholesalers and dealers comply with all tobacco sales laws and that  they promptly inform us of any notices of violations received from authorities. These provisions are material and significant to our franchise relationship and will be treated as such by ExxonMobil.  We regard compliance with tobacco sales laws as a matter of utmost importance.  If you have executed a new ExxonMobil branded wholesaler franchise agreement and you receive a notice of violation concerning the sale of tobacco at one of your company operated facilities, please report receipt of that notice to:
​
ExxonMobil
Tobacco Sales Compliance - Branded Wholesaler Supervisor
c/o ExxonMobil BSCC
Suite 107
95 Foundry St.
Moncton, N.B.
E1C5H7, Canada
​
Recognizing the importance to your business of maintaining responsible sales of these products, we will work closely with you to provide access to the practices and programs we are employing. Enclosed with this communication is a copy of a booklet outlining ExxonMobil’s Tobacco Awareness Program for our company-operated retail stores (CORS) .  You may find the CORS retailing practices outlined in that booklet helpful in your own efforts to prevent tobacco sales to minors.  In the coming weeks, we will follow-up with more information concerning the availability of programs you may wish to employ at your sites.  In the meantime, please contact your Territory Manager if you have any questions concerning the issue of youth access to tobacco products.  We encourage you to work with your dealers, store managers and sales associates to maintain the highest level of compliance with tobacco sales regulations and that you support their efforts to prevent the sales of tobacco products to minors.  We also request that you provide a copy of this letter to each of your dealers and confirm in writing that you have done so by signing this letter where indicated below.  For your convenience we have included a sample cover letter you can use for this communication.

SAMPLE COVER LETTER

​
	 
	            , 2003

​
Dear Dealer:
​
As you may have heard, ExxonMobil announced that it is further enhancing measures to curb sales to tobacco products to minors at its company-operated stores.  This is part of a mutual cooperation agreement that the company has entered into with the Attorneys General of 43 states.
​
Enclosed with this letter is recent correspondence we have received from ExxonMobil on this important issue, which you should review closely.  Like ExxonMobil, we emphasize the importance of taking pro-active measures to ensure compliance with laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco products to minors and with laws governing tobacco sales generally.  As we learn of programs and practices being used by ExxonMobil at its company-operated stores and as we develop programs at our own stores, we will share them with you to help you promote responsible tobacco sales at your location.
​
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.  If you have questions, please let us know.
​
	 
	Sincerely,

Revised Summary of Title I of the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act
Tuesday, June 25, 1996
​
AGENCY:  Department of Energy.
ACTION:  Notice.
​
SUMMARY:  This notice contains a summary of Title I of the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act, as amended (the Act).  The Petroleum Marketing Practices Act was originally enacted on June 19, 1978, and was amended by the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act Amendments of 1994, enacted on October 19, 1994.  On August 30, 1978, the Department of Energy published in the Federal Register a summary of the provisions of Title I of the 1978 law, as required by the Act.  The Department is publishing this revised summary to reflect key changes made by the 1994 amendments.
​
The Act is intended to protect franchised distributors and retailers of gasoline and diesel motor fuel against arbitrary or discriminatory termination or nonrenewal of franchises.  This summary describes the reasons for which a franchise may be terminated or not renewed under the law, the responsibilities of franchisors, and the remedies and relief available to franchisees.  The Act requires franchisors to give franchisees copies of the summary contained in this notice whenever notification of termination or nonrenewal of a franchise is given.
​
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Carmen Difiglio, Office of Energy Efficiency, Alternative Fuels, and Oil Analysis (PO-62), U.S. Department of Energy, Washington, D.C. 20585, Telephone (202) 586-4444; Lawrence Leiken, Office of General Counsel (GC-73), U.S. Department of Energy, Washington, D.C. 20585, Telephone (202) 586-6978.
​
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Title I of the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. §§2801-2806, provides for the protection of franchised distributors and retailers of motor fuel by establishing minimum Federal standards governing the termination of franchises and the nonrenewal of franchise relationships by the franchisor or distributor of such fuel.  Section 104(d) (1) of the Act required the Secretary of Energy to publish in the Federal Register a simple and concise summary of the provisions of Title I, including a statement of the respective responsibilities of, and the remedies and relief available to, franchisors and franchisees under that title.  The Department published this summary in the Federal Register on August 30, 1978.  43 F.R. 38743 (1978).
​
In 1994 the Congress enacted the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act Amendments to affirm and clarify certain key provisions of the 1978 statute.  Among the key issues addressed in the 1994 amendments are:  (1) termination or nonrenewal of franchised dealers by their franchisors for purposes of conversion to “company” operation; (2) application of state law; (3) the rights and obligations of franchisors and franchisees in third-party lease situations; and (4) waiver of rights limitations.  See H.R. REP. NO. 737, 103rd Cong., 2nd Sess. 2 (1994), reprinted in 1994 U.S.C.C.A.N. 2780.  Congress intended to:  (1) make explicit that upon renewal a franchisor may not insist on changes to a franchise agreement where the purpose of such changes is to prevent renewal in order to convert a franchisee-operated service station into a company-operated service station; (2) make clear that where the franchisor has an option to continue the lease or to purchase the premises but does not wish to do so, the franchisor must offer to assign the option to the franchisee; (3) make clear that no franchisor may require, as a condition of entering or renewing a franchise agreement, that a franchisee waive any rights under the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act, any other Federal law, or any state law; and (4) reconfirm the limited scope of Federal preemption under the Act. Id.
​
The summary which follows reflects key changes to the statute resulting from the 1994 amendments. The Act requires franchisors to give copies of this summary statement to their franchisees when entering into an agreement to terminate the franchise or not to renew the franchise relationship, and when giving notification of termination or nonrenewal. This summary does not purport to interpret the Act, as amended, or to create new legal rights.
​
In addition to the summary of the provisions of Title I, a more detailed description of the definitions contained in the Act and of the legal remedies available to franchisees is also included in this notice, following the summary statement.

Summary of Legal Rights of Motor Fuel Franchisees
​
This is a summary of the franchise protection provisions of the Federal Petroleum Marketing Practices Act, as amended in 1994 (the Act), 15 U.S.C. §§2801-2806. This summary must be given to you, as a person holding a franchise for the sale, consignment or distribution of gasoline or diesel motor fuel, in connection with any termination or nonrenewal of your franchise by your franchising company (referred to in this summary as your supplier).
​
You should read this summary carefully, and refer to the Act if necessary, to determine whether a proposed termination or nonrenewal of your franchise is lawful, and what legal remedies are available to you if you think the proposed termination or failure to renew is not lawful.  In addition, if you think your supplier has failed to comply with the Act, you may wish to consult an attorney in order to enforce your legal rights.
​
The franchise protection provisions of the Act apply to a variety of franchise agreements.  The term “franchise” is broadly defined as a license to use a motor fuel trademark which is owned or controlled by a refiner, and it includes secondary arrangements such as leases of real property and motor fuel supply agreements which have existed continuously since May 15, 1973, regardless of a subsequent withdrawal of a trademark.  Thus, if you have lost the use of a trademark previously granted by your supplier but have continued to receive motor fuel supplies through a continuation of a supply agreement with your supplier, you are protected under the Act.
​
Any issue arising under your franchise which is not governed by this Act will be governed by the law of the State in which the principal place of business of your franchise is located.
​
Although a State may specify the terms and conditions under which your franchise may be transferred upon the death of the franchisee, it may not require a payment to you (the franchisee) for the goodwill of a franchise upon termination or nonrenewal.
​
The Act is intended to protect you, whether you are a distributor or a retailer, from arbitrary or discriminatory termination or nonrenewal of your franchise agreement.  To accomplish this, the Act first lists the reasons for which termination or nonrenewal is permitted.  Any notice of termination or nonrenewal must state the precise reason, as listed in the Act, for which the particular termination or nonrenewal is being made.  These reasons are described below under the headings “Reasons for Termination” and “Reasons for Nonrenewal.”
​
The Act also requires your supplier to give you a written notice of termination or intention not to renew the franchise within certain time periods.  These requirements are summarized below under the heading “Notice Requirements for Termination or Nonrenewal.”
​
The Act also provides certain special requirements with regard to trial and interim franchise agreements, which are described below under the heading “Trial and Interim Franchises.”
​
The Act gives you certain legal rights if your supplier terminates or does not renew your franchise in a way that is not permitted by the Act.  These legal rights are described below under the heading “Your Legal Rights.”
​
The Act contains provisions pertaining to waiver of franchisee rights and applicable State law. These provisions are described under the heading “Waiver of Rights and Applicable State Law.”
​
This summary is intended as a simple and concise description of the general nature of your rights under the Act.  For a more detailed description of these rights, you should read the text of the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act, as amended in 1994 (15 U.S.C. §§2801-2806).  This summary does not purport to interpret the Act, as amended, or to create new legal rights.
​
I. Reasons for Termination
​
If your franchise was entered into on or after June 19, 1978, the Act bars termination of your franchise for any reasons other than those reasons discussed below.  If your franchise was entered into before June 19, 1978, there is no statutory restriction on the reasons for which it may be terminated.  If a franchise entered into before June 19, 1978, is terminated, however, the Act requires the supplier to reinstate the franchise relationship unless one of the reasons listed under this heading or one of the additional reasons for nonrenewal described below under the heading “Reasons for Nonrenewal” exists.
​
​
​

12-4

​

A. Non-Compliance with Franchise Agreement
​
Your supplier may terminate your franchise if you do not comply with a reasonable and important requirement of the franchise relationship.  However, termination may not be based on a failure to comply with a provision of the franchise that is illegal or unenforceable under applicable Federal, for State or local law.  In order to terminate for non-compliance with the franchise agreement, your supplier must have learned of this non-compliance recently.  The Act limits the time period within which your supplier must have learned of your non-compliance to various periods, the longest of which is 120 days, before you receive notification of the termination.
​
B. Lack of Good Faith Efforts
​
Your supplier may terminate your franchise if you have not made good faith efforts to carry out the requirements of the franchise, provided you are first notified in writing that you are not meeting a requirement of the franchise and you are given an opportunity to make a good faith effort to carry out the requirement.  This reason can be used by your supplier only if you fail to make good faith efforts to carry out the requirements of the franchise within the period which began not more than 180 days before you receive the notice of termination.
​
C. Mutual Agreement To Terminate the Franchise
​
A franchise can be terminated by an agreement in writing between you and your supplier if the agreement is entered into not more than 180 days before the effective date of the termination and you receive a copy of that agreement, together with this summary statement of your rights under the Act.  You may cancel the agreement to terminate within 7 days after you receive a copy of the agreement, by mailing (by certified mail) a written statement to this effect to your supplier.
​
D. Withdrawal From the Market Area
​
Under certain conditions, the Act permits your supplier to terminate your franchise if your supplier is withdrawing from marketing activities in the entire geographic area in which you operate.  You should read the Act for a more detailed description of the conditions under which market withdrawal terminations are permitted.  See 15 U.S.C. §2802(b) (E).
​
E. Other Events Permitting a Termination
​
If your supplier learns within the time period specified in the Act (which in no case is more than 120 days prior to the termination notice) that one of the following events has occurred, your supplier may terminate your franchise agreement:
​
(1)            Fraud or criminal misconduct by you that relates to the operation of your marketing premises.
(2)            You declare bankruptcy or a court determines that you are insolvent.
(3)            You have a severe physical or mental disability lasting at least 3 months which makes you unable to provide for the continued proper operation of the marketing premises.
(4)             Expiration of your supplier’s underlying lease to the leased marketing premises, if:  (a) your supplier gave you written notice before the beginning of the term of the franchise of the duration of the underlying lease and that the underlying lease might expire and not be renewed during the term of the franchise; (b) your franchisor offered to assign to you, during the 90-day period after notification of termination or nonrenewal was given, any option which the franchisor held to extend the underlying lease or to purchase the marketing premises (such an assignment may be conditioned on the franchisor receiving from both the landowner and the franchisee an unconditional release from liability for specified events occurring after the assignment); and (c) in a situation in which the franchisee acquires possession of the leased marketing premises effective immediately after the loss of the right of the franchisor to grant possession, the franchisor, upon the written request of the franchisee, made a bona fide offer to sell or assign to the franchisee the franchisor’s interest in any improvements or equipment located on the premises, or offered the franchisee a right of first refusal of any offer from another person to purchase the franchisor’s interest in the improvements and equipment.
(5)            Condemnation or other taking by the government, in whole or in part, of the marketing premises pursuant to the power of eminent domain.  If the termination is based on a condemnation or other taking, your supplier must give you a fair share of any compensation which he receives for any loss of business opportunity or good will.
(6)             Loss of your supplier’s right to grant the use of the trademark that is the subject of the franchise, unless the loss was because of bad faith actions by your supplier relating to trademark abuse, violation of Federal or State law, or other fault or negligence.
(7)             Destruction (other than by your supplier) of all or a substantial part of your marketing premises.  If the termination is based on the destruction of the marketing premises and if the premises are rebuilt or replaced by your supplier and operated under a franchise, your supplier must give you a right of first refusal to this new franchise.

12-5

​

​
​

12-5

​

(8)             Your failure to make payments to your supplier of any sums to which your supplier is legally entitled.
(9)             Your failure to operate the marketing premises for 7 consecutive days, or any shorter period of time which, taking into account facts and circumstances, amounts to an unreasonable period of time not to operate.
(10)           Your intentional adulteration, mislabeling or misbranding of motor fuels or other trademark violations.
(11)           Your failure to comply with Federal, State, or local laws or regulations of which you have knowledge and that relate to the operation of the marketing premises.
(12)           Your conviction of any felony involving moral turpitude.
(13)           Any event that affects the franchise relationship and as a result of which termination is reasonable.
​
II. Reasons for Nonrenewal
​
If your supplier gives notice that he does not intend to renew any franchise agreement, the Act requires that the reason for nonrenewal must be either one of the reasons for termination listed immediately above, or one of the reasons for nonrenewal listed below.
​
A. Failure To Agree on Changes or Additions To Franchise
​
If you and your supplier fail to agree to changes in the franchise that your supplier in good faith has determined are required, and your supplier’s insistence on the changes is not for the purpose of converting the leased premises to a company operation or otherwise preventing the renewal of the franchise relationship, your supplier may decline to renew the franchise.
​
B. Customer Complaints
​
If your supplier has received numerous customer complaints relating to the condition of your marketing premises or to the conduct of any of your employees, and you have failed to take prompt corrective action after having been notified of these complaints, your supplier may decline to renew the franchise.
​
C. Unsafe or Unhealthful Operations
​
If you have failed repeatedly to operate your marketing premises in a clean, safe and healthful manner after repeated notices from your supplier, your supplier may decline to renew the franchise.
​
D. Operation of Franchise is Uneconomical
​
Under certain conditions specified in the Act, your supplier may decline to renew your franchise if he has determined that renewal of the franchise is likely to be uneconomical.  Your supplier may also decline to renew your franchise if he has decided to convert your marketing premises to a use other than for the sale of motor fuel, to sell the premises, or to materially alter, add to, or replace the premises.
​
III. Notice Requirements for Termination or Nonrenewal
​
The following is a description of the requirements for the notice which your supplier must give you before he may terminate your franchise or decline to renew your franchise relationship.  These notice requirements apply to all franchise terminations, including franchises entered into before June 19, 1978 and trial and interim franchises, as well as to all nonrenewals of franchise relationships.
​
A. How Much Notice Is Required
​
In most cases, your supplier must give you notice of termination or non-renewal at least 90 days before the termination or nonrenewal takes effect.
​
In circumstances where it would not be reasonable for your supplier to give you 90 days notice, he must give you notice as soon as he can do so.  In addition, if the franchise involves leased marketing premises, your supplier may not establish a new franchise relationship involving the same premises until 30 days after notice was given to you or the date the termination or nonrenewal takes effect, whichever is later.  If the franchise agreement permits, your supplier may repossess the premises and, in reasonable circumstances, operate them through his employees or agents.
​
If the termination or nonrenewal is based upon a determination to withdraw from the marketing of motor fuel in the area, your supplier must give you notice at least 180 days before the termination or nonrenewal takes effect.
​
​

12-6

​

B. Manner and Contents of Notice
​
To be valid, the notice must be in writing and must be sent by certified mail or personally delivered to you.  It must contain:
(1)           A statement of your supplier’s intention to terminate the franchise or not to renew the franchise relationship, together with his reasons for this action;
(2)           The date the termination or non-renewal takes effect; and
(3)           A copy of this summary.
​
IV. Trial Franchises and Interim Franchises
​
The following is a description of the special requirements that apply to trial and interim franchises.
​
A. Trial Franchises
​
A trial franchise is a franchise, entered into on or after June 19, 1978, in which the franchisee has not previously been a party to a franchise with the franchisor and which has an initial term of 1 year or less.  A trial franchise must be in writing and must make certain disclosures, including that it is a trial franchise, and that the franchisor has the right not to renew the franchise relationship at the end of the initial term by giving the franchisee proper notice.
​
The unexpired portion of a transferred franchise (other than as a trial franchise, as described above) does not qualify as a trial franchise.
​
In exercising his right not to renew a trial franchise at the end of its initial term, your supplier must comply with the notice requirements described above under the heading “Notice Requirements for Termination or Nonrenewal.”
​
B. Interim Franchises
​
An interim franchise is a franchise, entered into on or after June 19, 1978, the duration of which, when combined with the terms of all prior interim franchises between the franchisor and the franchisee, does not exceed three years, and which begins immediately after the expiration of a prior franchise involving the same marketing premises which was not renewed, based on a lawful determination by the franchisor to withdraw from marketing activities in the geographic area in which the franchisee operates.
​
An interim franchise must be in writing and must make certain disclosures, including that it is an interim franchise and that the franchisor has the right not to renew the franchise at the end of the term based upon a lawful determination to withdraw from marketing activities in the geographic area in which the franchisee operates.
​
In exercising his right not to renew a franchise relationship under an interim franchise at the end of its term, your supplier must comply with the notice requirements described above under the heading “Notice Requirements for Termination or Nonrenewal.”
​
V. Your Legal Rights
​
Under the enforcement provisions of the Act, you have the right to sue your supplier if he fails to comply with the requirements of the Act.  The courts are authorized to grant whatever equitable relief is necessary to remedy the effects of your supplier’s failure to comply with the requirements of the Act, including declaratory judgment, mandatory or prohibitive injunctive relief, and interim equitable relief.  Actual damages, exemplary (punitive) damages under certain circumstances, and reasonable attorney and expert witness fees are also authorized.  For a more detailed description of these legal remedies you should read the text of the Act. 15 U.S.C. §§2801-2806.
​
VI. Waiver of Rights and Applicable State Law
​
Your supplier may not require, as a condition of entering into or renewing the franchise relationship, that you relinquish or waive any right that you have under this or any other Federal law or applicable State law.  In addition, no provision in a franchise agreement would be valid or enforceable if the provision specifies that the franchise would be governed by the law of any State other than the one in which the principal place of business for the franchise is located.

Further Discussion of Title I-Definitions and Legal Remedies
​
I. Definitions
​
Section 101 of the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act sets forth definitions of the key terms used throughout the franchise protection provisions of the Act.  The definitions from the Act which are listed below are of those terms which are most essential for purposes of the summary statement. (You should consult section 101 of the Act for additional definitions not included here.)
​
A. Franchise
​
A “franchise” is any contract between a refiner and a distributor, between a refiner and a retailer, between a distributor and another distributor, or between a distributor and a retailer, under which a refiner or distributor (as the case may be) authorizes or permits a retailer or distributor to use, in connection with the sale, consignment, or distribution of motor fuel, a trademark which is owned or controlled by such refiner or by a refiner which supplies motor fuel to the distributor which authorizes or permits such use.
​
The term “franchise” includes any contract under which a retailer or distributor (as the case may be) is authorized or permitted to occupy leased marketing premises, which premises are to be employed in connection with the  sale, consignment, or distribution of motor fuel under a trademark which is owned or controlled by such refiner or by a refiner which supplies motor fuel to the distributor which authorizes or permits such occupancy.  The term also includes any contract pertaining to the supply of motor fuel which is to be sold, consigned or distributed under a trademark owned or controlled by a refiner, or under a contract which has existed continuously since May 15, 1973, and pursuant to which, on May 15, 1973, motor fuel was sold, consigned or distributed under a trademark owned or controlled on such date by a refiner.  The unexpired portion of a transferred franchise is also included in the definition of the term.
​
B. Franchise Relationship
​
The term “franchise relationship” refers to the respective motor fuel marketing or distribution obligations and responsibilities of a franchisor and a franchisee which result from the marketing of motor fuel under a franchise.
​
C. Franchisee
​
A “franchisee” is a retailer or distributor who is authorized or permitted, under a franchise, to use a trademark in connection with the sale, consignment or distribution of motor fuel.
​
D. Franchisor
​
A “‘franchisor” is a refiner or distributor who authorizes or permits, under a franchise, a retailer or distributor to use a trademark in connection with the sale, consignment, or distribution of motor fuel.
​
E. Marketing Premises
​
“Marketing premises” are the premises which, under a franchise, are to be employed by the franchisee in connection with the sale, consignment, or distribution of motor fuel.
​
F. Leased Marketing Premises
​
“‘Leased marketing premises” are marketing premises owned, leased or in any way controlled by a franchisor and which the franchisee is authorized or permitted under the franchise, to employ in connection with the sale, consignment, or distribution of motor fuel.
​
G. Fail to Renew and Nonrenewal
​
The terms “fail to renew” and “nonrenewal” refer to a failure to reinstate, continue, or extend a franchise relationship (1) at the conclusion of the term, or on the expiration date, stated in the relevant franchise, (2) at any time, in the case of the relevant franchise which does not state a term of duration or an expiration date, or (3) following a termination (on or after June 19, 1978) of the relevant franchise which was entered into prior to June 19, 1978 and has not been renewed after such date.
​
​

12-8

​

II. Legal Remedies Available to Franchisee
​
The following is a more detailed description of the remedies available to the franchisee if a franchise is terminated or not renewed in a way that fails to comply with the Act.
​
A. Franchisee’s Right to Sue
​
A franchisee may bring a civil action in United States District Court against a franchisor who does not comply with the requirements of the Act.  The action must be brought within one year after the date of termination or nonrenewal or the date the franchisor fails to comply with the requirements of the law, whichever is later.
​
B. Equitable Relief
​
Courts are authorized to grant whatever equitable relief is necessary to remedy the effects of a violation of the law’s requirements.  Courts are directed to grant a preliminary injunction if the franchisee shows that there are sufficiently serious questions, going to the merits of the case, to make them a fair ground for litigation, and if, on balance, the hardship which the franchisee would suffer if the preliminary injunction is not granted will be greater than the hardship which the franchisor would suffer if such relief is granted.
​
Courts are not required to order continuation or renewal of the franchise relationship if the action was brought after the expiration of the period during which the franchisee was on notice concerning the franchisor’s intention to terminate or not renew the franchise agreement.
​
C. Burden of Proof
​
In an action under the Act, the franchisee has the burden of proving that the franchise was terminated or not renewed.  The franchisor has the burden of proving, as an affirmative defense, that the termination or nonrenewal was permitted under the Act and, if applicable, that the franchisor complied with certain other requirements relating to terminations and nonrenewals based on condemnation or destruction of the marketing premises.
​
D. Damages
​
A franchisee who prevails in an action under the Act is entitled to actual damages and reasonable attorney and expert witness fees.  If the action was based upon conduct of the franchisor which was in willful disregard of the Act’s requirements or the franchisee’s rights under the Act, exemplary (punitive) damages may be awarded where appropriate.  The court, and not the jury, will decide whether to award exemplary damages and, if so, in what amount.
​
On the other hand, if the court finds that the franchisee’s action is frivolous, it may order the franchisee to pay reasonable attorney and expert witness fees.
​
E. Franchisor’s Defense to Permanent Injunctive Relief
​
Courts may not order a continuation or renewal of a franchise relationship if the franchisor shows that the basis of the non-renewal of the franchise relationship was a determination made in good faith and in the normal course of business:
​
(1)           To convert the leased marketing premises to a use other than the sale or distribution of motor fuel;
(2)           To materially alter, add to, or replace such premises;
(3)           To sell such premises;
(4)           To withdraw from marketing activities in the geographic area in which such premises are located; or
(5)           That the renewal of the franchise relationship is likely to be uneconomical to the franchisor despite any reasonable changes or additions to the franchise provisions which may be acceptable to the franchisee.
​
In making this defense, the franchisor also must show that he has complied with the notice provisions of the Act.
​
This defense to permanent injunctive relief, however, does not affect the franchisee’s right to recover actual damages and reasonable attorney and expert witness fees if the nonrenewal is otherwise prohibited under the Act.
​
Issued in Washington, D.C. on June 12, 1996.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Policy.

Accordingly, on January 8, 2021, upon satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, the date set forth in the preceding clause (i) shall be automatically, without further action, amended to be January 7, 2022, so long as prior to giving effect thereto the 364-Day Revolving Commitments shall not have expired or been terminated (it being understood that the 364-Day Revolving Facility Availability Period shall be reset after giving effect to such extension).
