	ARTICLE 4	EFFECT OF TERMINATION ON COMPENSATION AND MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS 

 4.1
Termination by Company. If Executive’s employment hereunder shall be terminated by Company, then, upon such termination, except as hereinafter provided, all compensation and benefits to Executive hereunder shall terminate
contemporaneously with the termination of such employment (except as otherwise provided under any other agreement or plan of Company that provides post-termination benefits); provided, however, that, subject to paragraph 4.4 below, if such
termination shall be for any reason other than a reason encompassed by paragraph 2.2(i), 2.2(ii), or 2.2(iii), then Company shall provide Executive with a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to $250,000 (two hundred and fifty thousand dollars);
and provided, further, that if such termination shall be for a reason encompassed by paragraph 2.2(i), 2.2(ii), or 2.2(iv), then the participation of Executive and/or his dependents, as applicable, in the fully-insured Company employee
benefit plans and insurance arrangements providing medical and dental benefits in which they are enrolled at the time of such termination shall continue for a period of six (6) months to the extent that such continuation is permitted at the
time of such termination under applicable law and the terms of such Company employee benefit plans and insurance arrangements. Subject to paragraph 4.4, any lump sum cash payment due to Executive pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid to
Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day after the date of Executive’s termination of employment with Company. 

 4.2 Termination by Executive. If Executive’s employment hereunder shall be
terminated by Executive, then, upon such termination, except as hereinafter provided, all compensation and benefits to Executive hereunder shall terminate contemporaneously with the termination of such employment (except as otherwise provided under
any other agreement or plan of Company that provides post-termination benefits); provided, however, that, subject to paragraph 4.4, if such termination occurs for Good Reason, then Company shall provide Executive with a lump sum cash payment
in an amount equal to $250,000 (two hundred and fifty thousand dollars) and the continued participation of Executive and his dependents, as applicable, in the fully-insured Company employee benefit plans and insurance arrangements providing medical
and dental benefits in which they are enrolled at the time of such termination shall continue for a period of six (6) months to the extent that such continuation is permitted at the time of such termination under applicable law and the terms of
such Company employee benefit plans and insurance arrangements. Subject to paragraph 4.4, any lump sum cash payment due to Executive pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day after the date of Executive’s termination of employment with Company. 

4.3 Executive’s Membership Interests in Company. If Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated for any reason
(including Executive’s resignation, death, or disability) or for no reason, Executive’s Membership Interests in Company shall be maintained or redeemed in accordance with Article 7 of the LLC Agreement. 

4.4 Release and Full Settlement. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, as a condition to the receipt of the
termination payments and benefits under paragraph 4.1 or 4.2 hereof, as applicable, Executive shall first execute a release, in the form established by the Board, releasing Company and each of Company’s respective subsidiaries, affiliates,
shareholders, partners, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents from any and all claims and from any and all causes of action of any kind or character including, but not limited to, all claims or causes of action arising out of
Executive’s employment with Company or its affiliates or the termination of such employment, but excluding all claims to vested benefits and payments Executive may have under any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement, including
this Agreement. Executive shall provide such release no later than 50 days after the date of his termination of employment with Company and, as a condition to Company’s obligation to provide termination payments and benefits in accordance with
paragraphs 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable, Executive shall not revoke such release. The performance of Company’s obligations hereunder and the receipt of any termination payments and benefits provided under paragraphs 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable,
shall constitute full settlement of all such claims and causes of action. 
 4.5 No Duty to Mitigate Losses. Executive shall
have no duty to find new employment following the termination of his employment under circumstances which require Company to pay any amount to Executive pursuant to this Article 4. Any salary or remuneration received by Executive from a third party
for the providing of personal services (whether by employment or by functioning as an independent contractor) following the termination of his 

 
employment under circumstances pursuant to which this Article 4 applies shall not reduce Company’s obligation to make a payment to Executive (or the amount of such payment) pursuant to the
terms of this Article 4. 
 4.6 Liquidated Damages. In light of the difficulties in estimating the damages for an early
termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, Company and Executive hereby agree that the payments and benefits, if any, to be received by Executive pursuant to this Article 4 shall be received by Executive as liquidated damages.

 4.7 Section 409A Matters. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a specified
employee (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and applicable administrative guidance thereunder and determined in accordance with any method selected by
Company that is permitted under the regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code), and the payment of any amount or provision of any benefit under this Agreement to or on behalf of Executive would be subject to additional taxes and
interest under Section 409A of the Code because the timing of such payment or provision of such benefit is not delayed as provided in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, then any such payment or benefit
that Executive would otherwise be entitled to during the first six months following the date of Executive’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and applicable administrative guidance
thereunder) shall be accumulated and paid or provided, as applicable, on the date that is six months after Executive’s separation from service (or if such date does not fall on a business day of Company, the next following business day of
Company), or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid or provided under Section 409A of the Code without being subject to such additional taxes and interest; provided, however, that Executive shall be entitled to receive the maximum
amount permissible under Section 409A of the Code and the applicable administrative guidance thereunder during the six-month period following his separation from service that will not result in the imposition of any additional tax or penalties
on such amount. For all purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall be considered to have terminated employment with Company when Executive incurs a “separation from service” with Company within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i)
of the Code and the applicable administrative guidance issued thereunder and all amounts that may be paid or benefits that may be provided hereunder shall be considered separate payments. To the extent that Section 409A of the Code is
applicable to this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted as necessary to comply with such section and the applicable administrative guidance issued thereunder. 

4.8 Other Benefits. This Agreement governs the rights and obligations of Executive and Company with respect to Executive’s
base salary and certain perquisites of employment. Except as expressly provided herein, Executive’s rights and obligations both during the term of his employment and thereafter with respect to his direct and indirect ownership rights in
Company, and other benefits under the plans and programs maintained by Company or its subsidiaries shall be governed by the separate agreements, plans and the other documents and instruments governing such matters. 

	ARTICLE 5	PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

 5.1 Disclosure to and Property of
Company. All information, designs, concepts, improvements, product developments, discoveries and inventions, whether patentable or not, that are conceived, made, developed or acquired by Executive, individually or in conjunction with others,
during the period of Executive’s employment by Company (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on Company’s premises or otherwise) that relate to Company’s (or any of its affiliates’) business, trade secrets,
products or services (including, without limitation, all such information relating to corporate opportunities, product specification, compositions, manufacturing and distribution methods and processes, research, financial and sales data, pricing
terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisitions prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, the identity of key contacts within the customer’s organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects,
marketing and merchandising techniques, business plans, computer software or programs, computer software and database technologies, prospective names and marks) (collectively, “Confidential Information”) shall be disclosed to
Company and are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Company (or its affiliates). Moreover, all documents, videotapes, written presentations, brochures, drawings, memoranda, notes, records, files, correspondence, manuals, models,
specifications, computer programs, E-mail, voice mail, electronic databases, maps, drawings, architectural renditions, models and all other writings or materials of any type embodying any of such information, ideas, concepts, improvements,
discoveries, inventions and other similar forms of expression (collectively, “Work Product”) are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Company (or its affiliates). Upon Executive’s termination of employment with
Company, for any reason, Executive promptly shall deliver such Confidential Information and Work Product, and all copies thereof, to Company. 

5.2 Disclosure to Executive. Company has and will disclose to Executive, or place Executive in a position to have access to or
develop, Confidential Information and Work Product of Company (or its affiliates); and/or has and will entrust Executive with business opportunities of Company (or its affiliates); and/or has and will place Executive in a position to develop
business good will on behalf of Company (or its affiliates). Executive agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of all Confidential Information or Work Product of Company (or its affiliates). 

5.3 No Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. Executive agrees that he will not, at any time during or after Executive’s
employment by Company, make any unauthorized disclosure of, and will prevent the removal from Company premises of, Confidential Information or Work Product of Company (or its affiliates), or make any use thereof, except in the carrying out of
Executive’s responsibilities during the course of Executive’s employment with Company. Executive shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all persons or entities to which any Confidential Information shall be disclosed by him
hereunder to observe the terms and conditions set forth herein as though each such person or entity was bound hereby. Executive shall have no obligation hereunder to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure
thereof is specifically required by law; provided, however, that, in the event disclosure is required by applicable law, Executive shall provide Company with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any such disclosure, so that
Company may seek an appropriate 

 
protective order or otherwise contest such disclosure. At the request of Company at any time, Executive agrees to deliver to Company all Confidential Information that he may possess or control.
Executive agrees that all Confidential Information of Company or its affiliates (whether now or hereafter existing) conceived, discovered or made by him during the period of Executive’s employment by Company exclusively belongs to Company or
its affiliates (and not to Executive), and Executive will promptly disclose such Confidential Information to Company or its affiliates, as applicable, and perform all actions reasonably requested by Company or its affiliates, as applicable, to
establish and confirm such exclusive ownership. Affiliates of Company shall be third party beneficiaries of Executive’s obligations under this Article 5. As a result of Executive’s employment by Company, Executive may also from time to
time have access to, or knowledge of, Confidential Information or Work Product of third parties, such as customers, suppliers, partners, joint venturers, and the like, of Company and its affiliates. Executive also agrees to preserve and protect the
confidentiality of such third party Confidential Information and Work Product to the same extent, and on the same basis, as Company’s Confidential Information and Work Product. 

5.4 Ownership by Company. If, during Executive’s employment by Company, Executive creates any work of authorship fixed in
any tangible medium of expression that is the subject matter of copyright (such as videotapes, written presentations, or acquisitions, computer programs, E-mail, voice mail, electronic databases, drawings, maps, architectural renditions, models,
manuals, brochures, or the like) relating to Company’s business, products, or services, whether such work is created solely by Executive or jointly with others (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on Company’s premises
or otherwise), including any Work Product, Company shall be deemed the author of such work if the work is prepared by Executive in the scope of Executive’s employment; or, if the work is not prepared by Executive within the scope of
Executive’s employment but is specially ordered by Company as a contribution to a collective work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as a translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation or as an instructional text,
then the work shall be considered to be work made for hire and Company shall be the author of the work. If such work is neither prepared by Executive within the scope of Executive’s employment nor a work specially ordered that is deemed to be a
work made for hire, then Executive hereby agrees to assign, and by these presents does assign, to Company all of Executive’s worldwide right, title, and interest in and to such work and all rights of copyright therein. 

5.5 Assistance by Executive. During the Term and thereafter, Executive shall assist Company and its nominee, at any time, in the
protection of Company’s (or its affiliates’) worldwide right, title and interest in and to Work Product and the execution of all formal assignment documents requested by Company or its nominee and the execution of all lawful oaths and
applications for patents and registration of copyright in the United States and foreign countries. 
 5.6 Remedies. Executive
acknowledges that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 5 by Executive, and Company or its affiliates shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Article 5 by terminating payments then owing to Executive
under this Agreement or otherwise and to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Article 5 but shall be in
addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from Executive and his agents. 

	ARTICLE 6	NON-COMPETITION OBLIGATIONS 

 6.1 Non-competition Obligations. As
part of the consideration for the compensation and benefits to be paid to Executive hereunder; to protect the trade secrets and confidential information of Company and its affiliates that have been or will in the future be disclosed or entrusted to
Executive, the business good will of Company and its affiliates that has been and will in the future be developed in Executive, or the business opportunities that have been and will in the future be disclosed or entrusted to Executive by Company and
its affiliates; and as an additional incentive for Company to enter into this Agreement, Company and Executive agree to the provisions of this Article 6. Executive agrees that during the period of Executive’s non-competition obligations
hereunder, Executive shall not: 
 (i) directly or indirectly, whether through an affiliate or otherwise, alone or as
partner, joint venturer, member, officer, director, employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor, stockholder, or in any other capacity, engage or participate in any business that is competitive with the business conducted by Company,
including, but not limited to, entities involved in the operation of any convenience stores and/or petroleum product sales facilities, including, but not limited to commercial, industrial and retail fuels distribution or who may otherwise distribute
petroleum products or bio fuels within 100 miles of any of the Company’s assets or customers as of the termination date (the “Restricted Area”), Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates conducts business or is actively
planning to conduct business and, on and after the termination date, Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates on the termination date conducts business or is actively planning to conduct business; provided, however, that, the
beneficial ownership of less than 5% of the shares of stock of any corporation having a class of equity securities actively traded on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market shall not be deemed, in and of itself, to violate the
prohibitions of this Section 6.1; 
 (ii) directly or indirectly, render any advice or services to, or otherwise assist,
any other person, association, or entity who is engaged, directly or indirectly, with any business that is competitive with the business conducted by Company; 

(iii) directly or indirectly, induce any employee or service provider of Company or any of its affiliates to terminate his or
her employment or engagement with Company or its affiliates, or hire or assist in the hiring of any such employee or service provider by any person, association, or entity not affiliated with Company; 

(iv) directly or indirectly, (A) induce any person that is a customer of Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of Company
on the termination date to patronize any business directly or indirectly in competition with the business conducted by Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of Company on the termination date; (B) canvass, solicit or accept from any person
that is a customer of Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of Company on the termination date, any such competitive business; or (C)

 
request, advise or cause any person that is a customer of Company or any of its affiliates on the termination date to terminate any business relationship with Company or its affiliates; or 

(v) directly or indirectly, at any time following the termination date, in any way utilize, disclose, copy, reproduce or retain
in his possession any of Company’s or any subsidiary’s or affiliate’s proprietary rights or records, including, but not limited to, any of their customer or price lists. 

The non-competition obligations under this Agreement shall apply during the period that Executive is employed by Company and shall continue for a period of
twelve (12) months following the date of Executive’s termination of employment under circumstances in which Executive is eligible for severance pay and benefits pursuant to Section 4.1, any termination of employment for Cause pursuant
to Section 2.2(iii), or any termination of employment by Executive for any reason (other than his death or Disability). Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit Executive’s ability to engage in certain businesses
anywhere in the Restricted Area provided for above, but acknowledges that Executive will receive sufficiently high remuneration and other benefits under this Agreement to justify such restriction. 

6.2 Enforcement and Remedies. Executive acknowledges that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this
Article 6 by Executive, and Company shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Article 6 by terminating any payments then owing to Executive under this Agreement and/or to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for
such breach or any threatened breach. Executive agrees that Company shall not be obligated to post bond during any proceedings for enforcement of Executive’s non-competition obligations. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies
for a breach of this Article 6, but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity to Company, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from Executive and Executive’s agents involved in such breach and
remedies available to Company pursuant to other agreements with Executive. The applicable period of Executive’s non-competition obligations under this Agreement shall be automatically extended by and to the extent of any period during which
Executive is in breach of such obligations. 
 6.3 Reformation. It is expressly understood and agreed that Company and
Executive consider the restrictions contained in this Article 6 to be reasonable and necessary to protect the proprietary information of Company and its affiliates. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court having
jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions therein set forth to be modified by such court so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so
modified by the court, to be fully enforced. 
  

	ARTICLE 7	NONDISPARAGEMENT

ARTICLE II 
 INVENTORY
AUDIT; PRORATIONS

delay such Audit. EPP shall reconcile such count to 12:01 a.m., local time at each location with Motor Fuel Inventory, on the Closing Date by adjusting for all sales from Motor Fuel Inventory, based on pump meter readings, and all additions to Motor
Fuel Inventory, based on receipts for delivery of additional Motor Fuel Inventory, that occur between the time of the Audit and 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. The Inventory Teams will record such measurements. Within ten (10) days after

time both prior to and on or after the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Closing Date between EPP and Company. If the actual amount of any such item is not known as of the Closing Date, the aforesaid proration shall be based on the previous
year’s (or other applicable period’s) assessment of such item and the parties agree to adjust said proration and pay any underpayment or reimburse for any overpayment within thirty (30) days after the actual amount becomes known. EPP
shall receive a credit from Company for all unpaid amounts, which are the subject of this Section 2.2, related to a period prior to Closing regardless of when such amounts are assessed or become due and payable against any of the Assets.

ARTICLE V 
 COVENANTS

 5.1 Noncompete; Nonsolicitation; Nondisparagement; Confidentiality. 

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the later of (i) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date,
or (ii) the date that is the second (2nd) anniversary of the date that Sam Simon ceases to be a member of the Board of Managers of EPP (such period referred to herein as the
“Restricted Period”), Company agrees that it will not at any time during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly, or by action in concert with others (except for EPP and/or its Affiliates and then only as authorized by
EPP), create, establish or form or obtain an ownership interest in, or assist any Person in creating, establishing or forming, a Person that is engaged in the Restricted Business within the Non-Compete Area (each as

  
 24 

 
defined below), or provide to any such Person any services (as an employee, consultant or otherwise) similar to or of the same nature as the services provided by EPP, or any Affiliate thereof, or
Company; provided, however, that this restriction shall not prohibit Company from (i) owning less than three percent (3%) of the equity securities of any such Person, other than EPP (or any successor entity to EPP), that is a
publicly traded company, (ii) owning equity securities of EPP (or any successor entity to EPP); (iii) operating the Company’s existing six (6) Indiana toll road sites to be supplied by EPP pursuant to the Toll Road Supply
Agreement, (iv) soliciting new business solely at the direction and for the benefit of EPP, or (v) owning Gas Stations or convenience stores listed on Schedule 5.1(a). For purposes hereof, the term “Restricted
Business” means the retail sale and/or distribution of motor vehicle fuel and fuel products to Gas Stations as a wholesale distributor between petroleum companies and the Gas Stations, and the term “Non-Compete
Area” means the area within fifty (50) miles of any of the Assets, including any and all Company Facilities located within such 50-mile radius. 

(b) During the Restricted Period, Company agrees that it will not, and will cause each of its Controlled Affiliates not to, without the prior
written consent of EPP, directly or indirectly, for its own account or on behalf of any other Person, (i) hire any person who, immediately prior to such hiring, was an employee or officer of an EPP Entity, or (ii) induce or attempt to
induce any such employee or officer to leave his or her employment with an EPP Entity; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit or restrict Company’s ability to hire any employee or officer who responds to a general
solicitation by Company. 
 (c) During the Restricted Period, Company will not, and will cause each of its Controlled Affiliates not to,
without the prior written consent of EPP, directly or indirectly, for its own account or on behalf of any other Person, in any way solicit or interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt, any relationships between any EPP Entity and any customers
(including any associated with, or to be acquired as part of, the Assets), subcontractors, suppliers or other Persons with whom it deals as of the Closing Date related to the Retail Gasoline Distribution Business. 

(d) Company agrees that it will not at any time disparage EPP, the EPP Entities or any manager, officer, director, member, equity holder,
employee, consultant or agent of EPP or the EPP Entities, in their respective capacities as such. 
 (e) Company shall maintain the
confidentiality of, and not use at any time or disclose to or for the benefit of any Person other than EPP or the EPP Entities, confidential or proprietary information, knowledge or data regarding the Assets, including, but not limited to, any
facts, information, customer lists, pricing lists, accounts, financial dealings, transactions or confidential matters, whether or not marked or otherwise identified as confidential or secret; provided that this Section 5.1(e)
shall not apply to information: (A) that becomes available to Company after the Closing Date from a source other than EPP or Company or any of their respective Representatives (and not as a result of a violation of a contractual restriction or
fiduciary duty); or (B) that was or becomes generally available to the public (and not as a result of a violation of a contractual restriction or fiduciary duty). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Company may, and may permit, disclosure
of such information (V) to its Representatives; (W) in connection with any litigation concerning the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement; (X) in response to any judicial or administrative proceedings (by

  
 25 

 
oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigation demand or similar process); (Y) if required by a Governmental Body; or (Z) to avoid
violating any applicable Law; provided that Company will, to the extent practicable, promptly notify EPP thereof and cooperate with EPP at EPP’s reasonable request and sole cost if EPP should seek to obtain an Order that confidential
treatment will be accorded to such information. 
 (f) Company acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this
Section 5.1 are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of EPP, including preservation of the goodwill that Company is conveying hereunder. Company further acknowledges that all of the restrictions in this
Section 5.1 are reasonable in all respects, including duration, geographical limitation and scope of activity restricted and no greater than necessary to protect EPP’s legitimate business interests. In the event that it is
judicially determined that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.1 are overly broad, such restrictions will be reformed to the extent necessary to make such restrictions reasonable. Company agrees that each of the covenants
contained in this Section 5.1 shall be construed as separate agreements independent of any other provision of this Agreement or of any other agreement between Company and EPP. Company agrees that the existence of any claim or cause of
action by Company against EPP or any other entity, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of the covenants and restrictions contained in this Section 5.1, except to the extent
any such claim or cause of action is directly related to an ongoing breach by EPP of EPP’s payment obligations to Company as set forth in Section 1.2. Company acknowledges that an actual breach, or threatened breach, by Company of
the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall cause irreparable harm to EPP, which harm may not be fully redressed by the payment of damages to EPP. Accordingly, EPP shall be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have at
law or in equity, to an injunction enjoining or restraining Company from any breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.1. Moreover, in the event of a breach by Company of this Section 5.1, the term of this covenant will
be extended by the period of the duration of such breach 
 5.2 Tax Matters. 

(a) Tax Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company hereby agrees to indemnify EPP and hold it
harmless from and against (i) any and all liability for Taxes with respect to the Retail Gasoline Distribution Business for any Tax period ending on (and including) or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) any and all liability for Taxes with
respect to the Retail Gasoline Distribution Business for any Straddle Period to the extent allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date in accordance with Section 5.2(b), (iii) all
liability for Taxes with respect to the Retail Gasoline Distribution Business and arising out of a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.9, (iv) in the case of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), all
reasonable legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting or similar fees and expenses attributable to such Taxes or liabilities. Indemnity claims under this Section 5.2(a) shall be governed by procedures substantially similar to those set
forth in Sections 9.6 and 9.7, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the limitations set forth in Section 9.5(a) apply to any indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.2(a). Company will
have no liability under this Section 5.2(a) unless on or before the expiration of sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable statute of limitations period, EPP notifies Company of a claim specifying the factual basis of such
claim in reasonable detail. 

  
 26 

 (b) Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion
of any such Taxes that is attributable to the portion of the period ending on (and including) the Closing Date shall be: 
 (i) in the case
of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (B) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), deemed equal to the amount that
would be payable if the tax period of Company with respect to the relevant assets ended with (and included) the Closing Date; provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation
and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period; and 

(ii) in the case of Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to property, assets or capital, deemed to be the amount of such
Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the
portion of the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period. 

(c) Cooperation on Tax Matters. From and after the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cooperate fully, each as and to the extent
reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 5.2 and any audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes, which cooperation shall include the
retention for at least seven (7) years and, upon request, the provision to the requesting person of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Returns or any such audit, litigation or other Proceeding, and making
employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder. 

(d) Transfer Taxes. Company shall pay all Transfer Taxes, if any, and Company shall pay all income (or similar) Taxes, if any, incurred
as a result of the Contemplated Transactions, regardless of the party on which such Taxes are imposed by Law. Each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate from and after the Closing Date to obtain, or otherwise provide and make available to the
other parties any usage or exemption or other similar certificates or information reasonably requested by the other party in connection with minimizing Transfer Taxes. 

(e) Notice of Audit. Company shall promptly notify EPP in writing upon receipt by Company of notice of any pending or threatened Tax
audits or assessments relating to the income, properties or operations of Company that reasonably may be expected to relate to or give rise to a lien on the Assets or the Retail Gasoline Distribution Business. Each of EPP and the Company shall
promptly notify the other in writing upon receipt of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audit or assessment challenging the Allocation. 

  
 27 

 (f) Certificate of Non-Foreign Status. Company shall deliver to EPP at the Closing a
properly executed affidavit prepared in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b) certifying Company’s non-foreign status. 

(g) Adjustments to Contribution Amount. Except as required for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, any amount paid to the Company by EPP
or by the Company to EPP pursuant to Article IX or Section 5.2(a) shall be treated as an increase or decrease, respectively, in the amount of consideration provided for in Section 1.2. 

(h) Characterization of Payments. Company and EPP hereby acknowledge and agree that for U.S. federal income tax purposes Company’s
contribution, sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the Assets to EPP in exchange for the Class B Units shall be treated as a tax-free contribution of the Assets to EPP in exchange for the Class B Units under
Section 721(a) of the IRC. Any cash consideration received by Company shall be treated first as a reimbursement to Company for capital expenditures described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-4(d) to the extent such consideration does
not exceed the amount of capital expenditures described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-4(d), and then as a as a part sale and a part contribution of its interests in the Assets to EPP to the extent that Treasury Regulation
Section 1.707-4(d) is inapplicable. Each of the parties shall file its Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such treatment and will not take a position before any Taxing Authority or in any Tax Claim that is inconsistent with such treatment,
except as otherwise required by applicable law or a “determination,” within the meaning of Section 1313(a)(1) of the IRC. Neither party makes any guarantee or representation with respect to this characterization. 

(i) Allocation. EPP and the Company agree that to the extent the Company’s contribution, sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance
and delivery of the Assets to EPP is treated for U.S. federal tax purposes as consideration for a sale under Section 1001 of the IRC, such consideration will be allocated among the Assets and the covenant not to compete contained in
Section 5.1(a) of this Agreement as set forth on Schedule 5.2(i), subject to EPP’s third party valuation, and in accordance with Section 1060 of the IRC and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any
similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate) (the “Allocation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if EPP’s third party valuation reflects an allocation of less than $57,000,000 to intangible assets,
then each of EPP and the Company shall be permitted to utilize such allocation as it determines to be appropriate (and for purposes of this Agreement, each such respective allocation shall be treated as the “Allocation” to be used
by EPP or the Company, as applicable). If the amount of the consideration provided for in Section 1.2 is adjusted pursuant to Article IX or Section 5.2(a), the Allocation shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with
this Section 5.2(i). 
 (j) Tax Returns Consistent with Allocation. EPP and the Company shall file all Tax Returns
(including, but not limited to, Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) consistent with the Allocation. Neither EPP nor the Company shall take any Tax position in consistent with such Allocation and neither EPP nor the Company shall agree to any
proposed adjustment to the Allocation by any Taxing Authority without first giving the other party prior written notice; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent EPP or the Company from settling any proposed deficiency
or adjustment by any Taxing Authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation, and neither EPP nor the Company shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Taxing Authority challenging such
Allocation. 

  
 28 

 (k) Amended Returns for Company. Without the Consent of the other party, which consent
shall not unreasonable be withheld, neither EPP nor Company (nor any Affiliates thereof) will amend, or cause to be amended, any Tax Returns that were filed by Company prior to the Closing Date or otherwise relate to any taxable periods ending on or
before the Closing Date or any Straddle Periods. 
 (l) Return of Tax Rebates. Company shall be entitled to receive all tax rebates
and refunds for which Company qualified prior to the Closing Date and which are attributable to Company’s operation of the Retail Gasoline Distribution Business prior to the Closing Date. EPP shall promptly deliver to Company all such tax
rebates and refunds actually received by EPP. 
 5.3 Books and Records. Company acknowledges and agrees that, from and after
the Closing, EPP will be entitled to copies of all books and records to the extent related to the Assets for calendar years 2011, 2012, and 2013, and year to date 2014. Company will, on the Closing Date, deliver or make available to EPP such copies
of all such books and records. 
 5.4 EFT Agreements. Both Company and EPP shall use best faith efforts to obtain and deliver,
on or before the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, electronic fund transfer (“EFT”) forms (including EPP’s form contact sheet), on a form provided by EPP, from Company’s
customers. 
 5.5 Communications with Company Gas Stations and Suppliers. Promptly following the full execution of this
Agreement, Company shall immediately initiate communications with its customers and the oil companies, inform them of the Contemplated Transactions, and request any estoppel certificates, EFT forms and assignment agreements required by this
Agreement. Company hereby agrees that EPP shall be involved in such communications with Company’s customers and oil companies and EPP shall be permitted to meet with Company’s customers after such notification has been sent by Company.

 5.6 Efforts. During the period from the Effective Date to the Closing Date, each of Company and EPP shall
(i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, respectively, to be satisfied on or prior to January 5, 2015 and, if not by such date, then as soon
thereafter as possible and (ii) cooperate in good faith to consummate the Contemplated Transactions. 
 5.7 Conduct of
Business Prior to the Closing. Between the Effective Date and the Closing, Company shall (a) carry on the Retail Gasoline Distribution Business in the Ordinary Course of Business, (b) take no material action out of the Ordinary
Course of Business; (c) comply with the terms of the Assumed Contracts and refrain from terminating, assigning, or materially amending the terms of any of the Assumed Contracts except with the consent of EPP or to the extent permitted by this
Agreement; (d) refrain from creating any Encumbrances with respect to the Assets; (e) refrain from selling or disposing of any Asset; or (f) maintain the Assets in a manner that complies with all requirements of Law and is consistent
with its Ordinary Course of Business. 

  
 29 

 5.8 Notice. 

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, each of the Company and EPP shall promptly provide notice to the other of any breach of any representation or
warranty of Company or EPP respectively or any fact or circumstance that would or would reasonably be likely to cause or constitute a breach of any such representation or warranty had that representation or warranty been made as of the time of the
occurrence of such fact or circumstance. Should any such breach relate to the Disclosure Letter or EPP Disclosure Letter, Company or EPP shall promptly deliver to the other a supplement to the Disclosure Letter or the EPP Disclosure Letter. No such
notice or delivery will be deemed to have cured any breach of any representation or warranty or affect any right or remedy of EPP or Company respectively under this Agreement (including EPP’s or the Company’s rights hereunder to
indemnification). 
 (b) Prior to the Closing Date, each of Company and EPP respectively shall promptly provide notice to the other of any
breach of any covenant of Company or EPP respectively or any fact or circumstance that could make the satisfaction of any condition in Section 7.1 with respect to notice from the Company under this Section 5.8(b) or
Section 7.2 with respect to notice from EPP under this Section 5.8(b) impossible or unlikely and of all corrective actions undertaken, or to be undertaken, by Company or EPP with respect thereto. No such notice will be deemed
to have cured any breach of any covenant or affect any right or remedy of EPP or Company under this Agreement (including EPP’s or Company’s rights hereunder to indemnification). 

5.9 No Shop. Unless and until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Company agrees that during the period
between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (the “Exclusivity Period”), neither it nor any of its direct or indirect shareholders, directors, management, employees, agents, representatives, professional advisors,
bankers or other affiliates will, directly or indirectly, hold discussions or negotiate with, or otherwise cooperate with, facilitate, solicit, or encourage any effort or attempt, by any person or entity regarding the acquisition of any of the
Assets. During the Exclusivity Period, Company shall notify EPP immediately if any other person contacts it or makes any proposal, offer or inquiry concerning such an acquisition, which notice shall include the details of such contact, proposal,
offer, and/or inquiry. 
 5.10 Fuel Supply Rights and Fee Simple Properties. 

(a) Fuel Supply Rights. At any time after the Effective Date, if Company sells, assigns, or transfers to any third party other than EPP
any of the owned real property listed on Schedule 5.10(a) (such parcel of or interest in such owned real property, a “Target Site”), a deed restriction (the “Deed Restriction”) shall be placed
within the deed of conveyance restricting such real property for a minimum term of ten (10) years from the Closing Date from selling motor fuel products unless such motor fuel products are supplied by EPP or its assigns, provided,
however, EPP agrees to subordinate the Deed Restriction to a mortgage lien from a lender that provides financing to the dealer to purchase the Target Site. Schedule 5.10(a) of the EPP Disclosure Letter lists the purchase price EPP
allocated to the supply rights for each Target 

  
 30 

 
Site (the “Target Site Purchase Price”). EPP represents and warrants to Company that the Target Site Purchase Price is based on a minimum ten year term to supply such
Target Site. Company shall ensure that the agreements and instruments executed, delivered, and/or filed with respect to such sale, assignment, or transfer provide that EPP’s fuel supply rights hereunder run with the owned real property, such
that the transferee shall be bound by and subject to the terms of this Section 5.10 upon any sale, assignment, or transfer by transferee of such real property without the need for any further action or writing by or for the benefit of
EPP. EPP may, but shall not be required to, take such actions and make such filings (including filings in the applicable land records offices), as it may deem necessary or appropriate to secure, protect, and/or preserve its rights hereunder and
Company shall promptly cooperate with EPP for such purpose upon request by EPP. Company acknowledges and agrees that it shall be prohibited from consummating any sale, transfer or assignment of any Target Site without such Deed Restriction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if a purchaser of a Target Site will not agree to the Deed Restriction for a minimum of ten (10) years following the Closing, Company shall have the right to sell the Target Site to such purchaser by
paying to EPP the prorated share of the Target Site Purchase Price for the time period which is the difference between ten (10) years and the length of the Deed Restriction agreed to by such purchaser. 

(b) Subsequent Purchase of Fee Simple Properties. On or before April 5, 2015 (the “Fee Simple Closing
Date”), EPP shall purchase the Company retail Gas Station real property assets set forth on Schedule 5.10(b) attached hereto (the “Gas Station Assets”) at the purchase prices set forth on Schedule
5.10(b), subject to the satisfaction or waiver in writing of the following conditions: (i) Company providing EPP with any and all documentation and information reasonably requested by EPP and relating to such Gas Station Asset, including
surveys, titles, and environmental due diligence; (ii) EPP being satisfied with the results of its environmental and title due diligence investigation of such Gas Station Asset; and (iii) Company delivering to EPP, prior to the closing
date for the purchase of such Gas Station Asset any and all documents and instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to EPP, necessary to facilitate the consummation or performance of the sale and assignment of the Gas Station Asset
to EPP, free and clear of all Encumbrances, except for Permitted Encumbrances. Company and EPP agree to cooperate and work in good faith with one another to consummate any purchases of Gas Station Assets by EPP and Company agrees to provide promptly
to EPP any such reasonably requested documentation relating to the Gas Station Assets. EPP and Company acknowledge that the purchase price set forth in Schedule 5.10(b) for the property located at (x) 12181 Livernois, Detroit,
Michigan (the “Livernois Property”)** is based upon a monthly rent of $5,000 although the actual monthly rent as of the Effective Date is $4,500 (the “Livernois Rent”), and (y) 5858 Telegraph,
Taylor, Michigan (the “Telegraph Property”) is based upon a monthly rent of $3,200 although the actual monthly rent as of the Effective Date is $2,200 (the “Telegraph Rent”). If Company, by the Fee
Simple Closing Date, does not amend the rental term of the lease for the Livernois Property to increase the monthly rent to $5,000 per month, EPP shall have the option of terminating its obligations under this Section 5.10(b) with
respect to the Livernois Property. If Company, by the Fee Simple Closing date, does not amend the rental term of the lease for the Telegraph Property to increase the monthly rent to $3,200 per month, EPP shall have the option of terminating its
obligations under this Section 5.10(b) with respect to the Telegraph Property. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.10(b) (including the conditions set
forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above and any exercise by EPP of its option to terminate its obligations under this Section 

  
 31 

 
with respect to the Livernois Property or Telegraph Property), if EPP fails to purchase any of the Gas Station Assets by April 5, 2015 in accordance with the terms hereof, Company shall have
the right to sell such Gas Station Assets to a third party subject to a Deed Restriction according to the terms set forth in Section 5.10(a) of this Agreement and the right to pursue a claim for breach of this Agreement (and such claim
shall not be subject to Section 9.5(a)) against EPP for any direct, actual, out-of-pocket Damages suffered by Company as a result of EPP’s failure to consummate such acquisition, provided that the aggregate liability of EPP
for Damages to Company pursuant to this Section 5.10(b) shall not exceed the amount of consideration that Company would have been entitled to receive in accordance with the purchase price of the applicable Gas Station Asset set forth on
Schedule 5.10(b) had EPP consummated the acquisition of such Gas Station Asset. This Section 5.10(b) shall survive the Closing. 

5.11 Access to Company Employees. During the period from the Effective Date to the Closing Date, EPP shall have the right to
interview any employee of the Company whose name is set forth on Schedule 5.11 attached hereto. Company shall provide EPP full access to all employees listed on Schedule 5.11 together with such employees’ complete employment
files. Company and EPP acknowledge and agree that EPP may, in its sole and absolute discretion, and in conjunction with the Contemplated Transactions, offer employment to any employee listed on Schedule 5.11. 

5.12 Future Fuel Supply Rights and Future Purchased Retail Gas Stations. In the event that Company sources, other than with
respect to the Trigg Business, (i) any wholesale fuel supply rights related to the retail distribution of gasoline, (ii) any fee simple real property parcels related to the retail distribution of gasoline, or (iii) any leasehold real
property interests related to the retail distribution of gasoline (each such asset described in clauses (i) – (iii), a “Target Asset”) during the period from the Closing Date until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, then EPP shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire such Target Asset pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.12. Upon any sourcing
of a Target Asset, Company shall give written notice (each, a “Closing Notice”) to EPP (a) setting forth a description of the Target Asset, including the purchase price proposed, the manner in which the purchase price
was calculated, any proposed adjustments or related contingencies and conditions, the name and location of the Target Asset, and the names of the Target Asset owners, and (b) attaching any financial information and other written materials made
available to Company in connection with the sourcing of the Target Asset. Upon receipt by EPP of the Closing Notice, any and all additional documents and information relating to the purchase of the Target Asset that are reasonably requested by EPP,
and for the period ending (A) seven (7) Business Days thereafter for offers involving five (5) of more Target Assets, or (B) two (2) Business Days thereafter for offers involving less than five (5) Target Assets (each
such period, an “Exercise Period”), EPP shall have the exclusive and irrevocable right to purchase the Target Asset at the price determined by the formula applicable to such Target Asset set forth on Schedule 5.12
attached hereto. EPP may exercise its purchase rights described in the prior sentence by providing Company with written notice of its election to purchase the Target Asset, which notice must be provided (if at all) by or before the expiration of the
applicable Exercise Period (the “Election Notice”). Upon (i) EPP’s election (if at all) to purchase such Target Asset by delivery of an Election Notice, and (ii) EPP’s introduction to the owner of such
Target Asset (if not Company), EPP shall consummate the acquisition of such Target Asset within fifteen (15) days for any acquisition involving wholesale fuel supply rights or within forty-five (45) days for any

  
 32 

 
acquisition involving real property interests (each such period, the “Purchase Period”). If (i) Company receives an Election Notice from EPP and EPP subsequently
fails to consummate the acquisition of such Target Asset within the applicable Purchase Period, and such failure is not substantially attributable to the breach, bad faith or uncooperativeness of Company or the third party who owns the Target Asset,
(ii) EPP notifies Company in writing prior to the end of the applicable Exercise Period that it elects not to acquire such Target Asset, or (iii) EPP fails to send an Election Notice within the applicable Exercise Period, then EPP shall
lose all rights hereunder to purchase such Target Asset and Company shall be free to sell such Target Asset to any other Person for any consideration determined by Company in its sole discretion. If EPP does not purchase a Target Asset, for any
reason, Company shall be prohibited from supplying fuel (directly or indirectly) to such Target Asset. The parties covenant and agree to work together in a diligent, good faith manner to meet any deadlines and satisfy any obligations set forth in
this Section 5.12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if EPP delivers an Election Notice to Company and subsequently fails to consummate the acquisition of such Target Asset within the applicable Purchase Period, and such failure
is solely attributable to EPP’s breach of its obligations to such third party and/or Company in conjunction with such acquisition, Company shall have the right to pursue a claim for breach of this Agreement (and such claim shall not be subject
to Section 9.5(a)) against EPP for any direct, actual, out-of-pocket Damages suffered by Company as a result of EPP’s failure to consummate such acquisition, provided, that the aggregate liability of EPP for Damages to Company
pursuant to this Section 5.12 shall not exceed the amount of consideration that Company would have been entitled to receive in accordance with the formulas set forth on Schedule 5.12 had EPP consummated the acquisition of such
Target Asset. This Section 5.12 shall survive the Closing. 
 5.13 Filings and Notifications; Cooperation.
As promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, and in any event within the applicable time period prescribed by Law, EPP shall, and shall cause each of its Related Persons to, make all filings and notifications required by Law to be made by
them in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (including all filings under the HSR Act). The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Related Persons to, cooperate with EPP, its Related Persons, and their respective Representatives
(a) with respect to all filings and notifications that EPP or its Related Persons elect to make or shall be required by Law to make in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, (b) in identifying and obtaining the Governmental
Authorizations required by EPP to own and operate the Retail Gasoline Distribution Business and the Assets from and after the Closing Date, and (c) in obtaining all Consents identified in Schedule 3.2(c) (including taking all actions
requested by EPP to cause early termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act). 
 5.14 No Amendments to the
LLC Agreement. EPP shall not change, modify, alter, supplement or amend the LLC Agreement, a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, or any part thereof, in any way prior to Closing, with the exception of the
LLC Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit C, without the prior written consent of the Company. 
 5.15 Performance of
Simon Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement. EPP acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement entered into by and among Sam Simon (“Simon”), Lehigh Gas Partners LP,
Lehigh Gas Wholesale LLC, LGP Realty Holdings LP and Lehigh Gas Wholesale Services, Inc., on or 

  
 33 

 
about May 21, 2014 (the “Simon Non-Compete Agreement”). EPP agrees that it shall conduct its business and cause its Affiliates to conduct their businesses at all
times in a manner that will permit Simon to perform his obligations under the Simon Non-Compete Agreement and that will not cause Simon to breach his obligations under the Simon Non-Compete Agreement. This Section 5.15 shall survive the
Closing. 
 5.16 Company’s Right to Reimbursement from Third-Party and Governmental Sources and Post-Closing Remediation
Obligations. 
 (a) Company shall retain the rights to any reimbursements (“Reimbursements”) from private,
state, local and federal sources (“Sources”), including but not limited to reimbursements from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency or other similar agency, for work
Company has performed to remediate the environmental condition of a Site caused by a Release, but has not received Reimbursements by Closing. To the extent that Reimbursements require that the underground storage tanks at a Site be owned or
registered by the applicant, EPP hereby agrees to cooperate with the Company in applying for and otherwise seeking Reimbursements on Company’s behalf, and receiving such Reimbursements. EPP shall convey any Reimbursements received by EPP to
Company. This Section 5.16 shall survive the Closing. 
 (b) Company shall (i) continue to remediate any and all releases
and resolve all unresolved and open environmental issues set forth on Schedule 3.15 of the Disclosure Letter, and (ii) be solely responsible for any and all environmental liabilities arising from the Company’s pre-Closing ownership
and operation of the Assets, at Company’s sole cost and expense. Company shall remediate all releases and resolve all unresolved and open environmental issues in accordance with and to the extent required by Environmental Laws, until such time
as the relevant Governmental Body confirms in writing that no further action is necessary with respect to such Site(s) set forth on Schedule 3.15 of the Disclosure Letter. All such remediation shall be scheduled and performed in a manner and
at times that comply with Environmental Laws and are consistent with best commercially reasonable efforts, but no longer or greater in scope than that required by the applicable Governmental Body. If performing remediation that affects the Assets,
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to limit interference with EPP’s ongoing business activities as the Site(s). 
 (c)
This Section 5.16 shall survive the Closing. 
 5.17 Accounts Receivable; Credit Cards.  

(a) Accounts Receivable Matters. 

(i) A/R Statement. On or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the day following the Closing Date, Company shall deliver to EPP a
statement of accounts receivable (reflecting both credit and debit balances) (the “A/R Statement”) reflecting, on a site-by-site basis, all current accounts receivable on Company’s books and records as of 11:59 p.m.
(Eastern Time) on the Closing Date relating to the Assumed Contracts, except that the A/R Statement shall not include any accounts receivable which are not current and/or currently in collections. The A/R Statement shall be accompanied by a
certificate, duly executed by the President/CEO of 

  
 34 

 
Company, certifying that such A/R Statement is true, complete, and accurate in all respects and consistent with the books and records of Company as of 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the Closing
Date. In the event EPP has any questions or comments relating to the A/R Statement, Company shall respond promptly and work in good faith with EPP to answer such questions and comments and shall immediately amend and re-deliver to EPP the A/R
Statement as may be appropriate under the circumstances. If either party thereafter determines that one or more actual or potential inaccuracies exist in the A/R Statement, the parties shall work in good faith to resolve such inaccuracies promptly.

 (ii) Credit Card Statement. On the date which is five (5) days after the Closing Date (such date, the “CC Payment
Date”), EPP shall (i) deliver to Company a credit card statement (the “CC Statement”) reflecting, on a site-by-site basis, any and all credit card payments attributable to the Assumed Contracts actually
received by EPP during the period starting at 12:01 am (EST) on the day after the Closing Date and ending at 11:59 p.m. (EST) on the day that is five (5) days after the Closing Date (the “CC Cutoff Date”); and
(ii) pay to Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designed in writing by Company to EPP, the total amount of all credit card payments reflected on the CC Statement, on a site by site basis, provided, in
no event shall the amount of such credit card payments, on a site-by-site basis, exceed the amount of the accounts receivable reflected, on a site by site basis, on the A/R Statement. 

(iii) Credit Balances. On the CC Payment Date, Company shall pay to EPP, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designed in writing by EPP to Company, an amount equal to the aggregate value of all credit balances set forth on the A/R Statement as owed by Company to any customer who is a party to an Assumed Contract. Immediately upon receipt of such funds, EPP
shall apply such funds as a credit to the accounts of such customers, in the amounts set forth in the A/R Statement. 
 (iv) Security
Deposits. At Closing, the Security Deposits, as set forth on Schedule 3.23 of the Disclosure Letter, relating to any of the customers who are party to any of the Assumed Contracts and have an accounts receivable balance owed to Company as
of the Closing Date shall be put into escrow with the Title Company (each a “Security Deposit Customer”). In the event that Company, after applying any payments received from EPP under Section 5.17(a)(ii) above,
drafts a Security Deposit Customer and such draft is returned for insufficient funds or otherwise by such Security Deposit Customer’s bank, the parties hereby agree as follows (i) first, for a period of five (5) Business Days after
the date such draft is returned for insufficient funds or otherwise, the parties shall work in good faith together to collect such funds from such Security Deposit Customer (including EPP possibly putting such customer on “credit hold”),
and (ii) second, in the event that such funds cannot be recovered from such Security Deposit Customer within such five (5) Business Day period, then EPP hereby agrees that Company shall have the right to draw upon the security deposit
relating to such Security Deposit Customer to pay for such returned draft, provided, in no event shall (i) Company be permitted to draw funds in excess of the amount of any security deposit relating to such Security Deposit Customer, and
(ii) EPP be liable for any shortfall amounts between the accounts receivable balance which is returned by a Security Deposit Customer and the amount of any security deposit relating to such Security Deposit Customer or otherwise. For any
customers 

  
 35 

 
who have a security deposit and either have a credit balance or no accounts receivable due under the A/R Statement, such security deposits shall be immediately transferred by Company to EPP on
the Closing Date. 
 (v) Examples. In order to illustrate the foregoing, the following examples are hereby provided: 

(1) Example 1: If the A/R Statement reflects that for Customer A, Company has an accounts receivable balance of $10,000 as of the
Closing Date and, as of the CC Cutoff Date, EPP has collected $10,000 in credit card payments relating to Customer A’s account that are reflected on the CC Statement, EPP shall wire such $10,000 to Company and Company would thereafter have
a zero accounts receivable balance for Customer A and therefore would not draft Customer A’s account for any accounts receivable balance. 

(2) Example 2: If the A/R Statement reflects that for Customer B, Company has an accounts receivable balance of $10,000 as of the
Closing Date, and, as of the CC Cutoff Date, EPP has collected $20,000 in credit card payments relating to Customer B’s account that are reflected on the CC Statement, EPP shall wire $10,000 (of the $20,000 received by EPP via credit
cards) to Company, Company would thereafter have a zero accounts receivable balance for Customer B and therefore would not draft Customer B’s account for any accounts receivable balance, and Empire would credit the remaining $10,000 to
Customer B’s account on EPP’s accounting system. 
 (3) Example 3: If the A/R Statement reflects that for
Customer C, Company has an accounts receivable balance of $30,000 as of the Closing Date, and, as of the CC Cutoff Date, EPP has collected $10,000 in credit card payments relating to Customer C that are reflected on the CC Statement,
EPP shall wire such $10,000 to Company, Company would then credit such $10,000 to Customer C’s accounts receivable with Company (thus reducing Company’s accounts receivable balance to $20,000 for Customer C), and Company would
thereafter be responsible for collecting such remaining receivables ($20,000, in this example), and EPP would have no obligation to collect such remaining receivables on Company’s behalf; provided, if Customer C is a Security Deposit
Customer and provided Customer C returns the draft for such remaining receivables ($20,000, in this example) and the parties cannot recover after their good faith efforts, Company would be permitted to draw on Customer C’s security deposit up
to an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the remaining receivables ($20,000, in this example), and (ii) the security deposit balance as of the Closing Date. 

(b) Credit Card Processing (Post-Closing Date). It is anticipated that for a period of time after Closing, EPP will supply
certain locations before the processing of credit card transactions for such locations is transferred from Company to EPP. Accordingly, the parties agree that (i) Company shall continue to process such credit card transactions until the
processing of credit card transactions has been transferred to EPP, and (ii) hold all funds received by it in connection with processing such credit card transactions (in the aggregate, the “Credit Card Funds”) in escrow
for the benefit of EPP. Each Wednesday after the Closing Date until all 

  
 36 

 
credit card processing is transferred to EPP, Company shall provide EPP with its reconciliation, on a site by site basis, of the Credit Card Funds to be paid over to EPP on such day;
provided, for the initial five (5) days after the Closing Date, for each location that has an accounts receivable balance with Company, Company shall be permitted to deduct from the Credit Card Funds an amount equal to such accounts
receivable balances due Company in an amount not to exceed the accounts receivable balance set forth in the A/R Statement, and amounts in excess of such amounts set forth in the A/R Statement shall be paid to EPP per the terms hereof. Within one
(1) Business Day after EPP confirms Company’s reconciliation or Company and EPP resolve any disputes regarding the reconciliation, Company shall wire the agreed-upon Credit Card Funds to an account designated by EPP. 

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.17 shall survive the Closing Date. 

5.18 Capital Expenditure Reimbursement. Schedule 5.18 of the Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of Sites and the amount
of actual, out-of-pocket funds expended by Company for each Site in 2014 (the “Reimbursable Capital Expenditures”). EPP shall reimburse Company for the Reimbursable Capital Expenditures at such time as EPP receives
(i) co-op funds from Phillips66 Company for the Reimbursable Capital Expenditures related to the Phillips66 branded Sites, and (ii) Marathon Spirit Funds from Marathon Petroleum Company L.P. for the Reimbursable Capital Expenditures
related to the Marathon branded Sites. This Section 5.18 shall survive the Closing. 
 5.19 Site #6038.
After the Effective Date, Company and EPP shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to affect the purchase by either Company or EPP of the real property located at 22600 Harper Avenue, St. Clair Shores, Michigan, 48080
(“Site 6038”). If neither Company nor EPP is able to acquire Site 6038 and EPP subsequently loses the right to supply fuel to Site 6038 for any reason, Company shall take all actions necessary to replace the lost
fuel supply volume formerly attributable to Site 6038 with the same amount of fuel volume from other fuel supply relationships owned or acquired by Company. 

5.20 Management Agreements. Schedule 5.20 is a list of management agreements (collectively, the
“Management Agreements”) between FT Ventures and the entities listed thereon (collectively, the “Managers”) for the sites listed on said schedule (the “Managed Sites”). FT Ventures
acknowledges (i) it owns each of the Managed Sites, (ii) the Management Agreements provide for FT Ventures to pay the Managers a commission for the fuel volume sold by the Managers at the Managed Sites (the “Commission
Terms”), and (iii) it does not have an independent right to supply the Managed Sites. Prior to Closing, FT Ventures agrees to cause (i) each of the Management Agreements to be amended to exclude the Commission Terms, and
(ii) each of the Managers to enter into a supply agreement with Atlas or B&R for the supply of fuel to each of the Managed Sites on the Company’s standard form agreement, which shall include the Commission Terms and be for a term not
to exceed the term of the corresponding Management Agreement (the “Managed Sites Fuel Supply Agreements”). Upon delivery of the Managed Sites Fuel Supply Agreements to EPP, EPP and Company shall amend the Agreement to include
the Managed Sites Fuel Supply Agreements as Assumed Contracts, which shall be assigned to EPP at Closing, and the Management Agreements as Excluded Contracts.

 9.6 Procedure For Third Party Indemnification Claims. 

(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 of notice of the commencement of
any Proceeding against it by a Person other than a party hereto or a Related Person (a “Third Party Claim”), such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under either
Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim (together with a statement specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the claim for which
indemnification is being sought, to the extent known, the amount of alleged Damages, and the basis for such Third Party Claim and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such indemnification claim is made), but the failure to notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by the indemnified party’s failure to give such
notice. Thereafter, the indemnified party shall deliver or make available to the indemnifying party, within five (5) Business Days after the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers)
received by the indemnified party relating to the Third Party Claim. 
 (b) If any Third Party Claim is brought against an indemnified party
and it (or, in the case of an EPP Indemnified Party, EPP) gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall have the right, at its option, to assume the defense, negotiation and
settlement of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, negotiation and settlement of such Third Party
Claim, the indemnifying party will not, except as otherwise provided below and as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Article IX for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with
respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however,
that notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume control of the defense of a Third Party Claim (A) if the indemnifying party, in response to a written request by the indemnified party, fails to provide
reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of the indemnifying party’s financial capacity to defend such Third Party Claim or (B) if the named parties to such Third Party Claim include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party shall have been advised in writing by outside legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to the indemnified party that conflict
with those defenses available to the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are
within the scope of and subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s prior written consent unless
as part of such compromise or settlement (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party and (B) the
sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the 

  
 47 

 
indemnifying party in accordance with this Article IX; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected
without its consent in violation of this Section 9.6(b). 
 (c) If the notice contemplated by Section 9.6(a) is
given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within thirty (30) days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume
the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnified party shall have the right to conduct such defense in good faith and shall proceed reasonably diligently to defend such Third Party Claim. If the indemnified party defends any Third Party Claim, then
(i) the indemnified party shall be entitled to recover the reasonable costs and expenses of defending such Third Party Claim to the extent the indemnified party is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX and
(ii) the indemnified party may not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or admit any liability with respect to such Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the
indemnifying party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the indemnifying party elects to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of
such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party (i) if so requested by
the indemnifying party to participate or (ii) if in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel to the indemnified party, an actual conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make it inappropriate under
applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the costs and expenses of more than one counsel for all indemnified parties in
connection with any Third Party Claim. 
 (d) The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense,
negotiation or settlement of any Third Party Claim, and to provide reasonable access to the other parties hereto to such documents and information as may reasonably be requested in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such
Third Party Claim. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall cooperate with and make available to the indemnifying party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested by the
indemnifying party. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnifying party’s request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making
employees and other Representatives of the indemnified party available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provide hereunder. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding
would adversely affect it or any of its Related Persons other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the
exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a Third Party Claim (and shall not be liable for any Damages resulting therefrom, whether pursuant to this
Article IX or otherwise) so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without the indemnifying party’s consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld). 

  
 48 

 9.7 Procedure for Other Indemnification Claims. It is the intent of the parties
hereto that all direct claims by an indemnified party against an indemnifying party hereto not arising out of a Third Party Claim shall be subject to and benefit from the terms of this Article IX. Any claim under this Article IX by an
indemnified party for indemnification other than indemnification against a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by giving the indemnifying party reasonably prompt written notice thereof (together with a
statement specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Direct Claim for which indemnification is being sought, to the extent known, the amount of alleged Damages, and the basis for such Direct Claim and the provisions of this Agreement upon
which such Direct Claim is made), and the indemnifying party shall have a period of 30 days within which to satisfy such Direct Claim. If the indemnifying party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the indemnifying party shall be deemed to
have rejected such claim, in which event the indemnified party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the indemnified party under this Article IX. 

9.8 Cumulative Remedies; Satisfaction of Indemnification Claims. 

(a) Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Article IX are the exclusive remedies of the EPP Indemnified Parties and the
Company Indemnified Parties (whether such claim is framed in tort, contract or otherwise), arising out of a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement herein, including any claim for indemnification under
Section 9.2 or Section 9.3; provided that nothing in this Section 9.8(a) shall be deemed to limit (i) any rights or remedies of such EPP Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party based on fraud,
willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation committed by the other party; (ii) the rights or remedies of any EPP Indemnified Party with respect to any breach of Section 3.1 (Organization and Good Standing; Power),
Section 3.2(a) (Authority), Section 3.3 (Capitalization), Section 3.6 (Title), Section 3.9 (Taxes), Section 3.15 (Environmental Matters), Section 3.20 (Brokers or Finders),
and Section 3.22 (Solvency) of this Agreement; (iii) or prevent any party from seeking specific performance, injunctive relief or equitable relief for claims of breach or failure to perform covenants under Article I,
Article III, Article IV, Article V, Article IX or Article XI of this Agreement at any time after the Closing.  

(b) Satisfaction of Indemnification Claims. 

(i) All Claims for indemnification under this Article shall be paid by the indemnifying party on demand in immediately available funds in
U.S. dollars after the liability for Damages thereunder have been finally determined. 
 (ii) If there should be a dispute as to the amount
or manner of determination of any indemnity obligation owed under this Agreement, the indemnifying party shall nevertheless pay when due in an amount that is not subject to dispute. The liability for Damages under any such Claims for indemnification
shall be deemed to be “finally determined” for purposes of this Article when the parties to an action have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a final non-appealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction has
been entered. 
 (iii) Upon a determination of liability in respect of a Claim of indemnification under this Article, the indemnifying
party shall pay the indemnified party the amount so determined (subject to the limitations hereof) within ten (10) Business Days after the date of determination (such tenth Business Day, the “Due Date”). The difference,
if any, between the amount of the obligation ultimately determined as properly payable under this Agreement and the portion, if any, theretofore paid shall bear interest for each calendar day from the Due Date until payment in full at a rate per
annum equal to the Applicable Rate on the Due Date. Upon the payment in full of any Claim of indemnification, the indemnifying party or other Person making payment shall be subrogated to the rights of the indemnified party against any Person with
respect to the subject matter of such Claim for indemnification.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the parties agree (i) to furnish upon request to each other such further information,
(ii) to execute and deliver to each other such other documents, and (iii) to do such other acts and things, all as the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the Contemplated Transactions. If at any time after
the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the Contemplated Transactions, the parties shall execute and deliver such further instruments and documents as the other party or parties may reasonably request for such purpose. 

(b) As a material inducement for EPP to enter into this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, Company hereby acknowledges and agrees as
follows: (i) EPP may perform three years of back audits of Company’s financial statements (the “Back Audits”), (ii) Company shall and shall cause its principals and officers to assist EPP in such Back Audits,
including but not limited to providing EPP’s auditors and other Representatives sufficient access to the records, books and personnel of Company, and (iii) Company shall cause an authorized officer of Company to execute such Back Audits as
may be deemed necessary or appropriate by EPP or its auditors. Company acknowledges and agrees that this Section 11.5(b) is of material importance to this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions. 

(c) Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any
delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement, any Related Agreements or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise
of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws, (a) no claim or
right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver
that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving
such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement. 

(d) Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and the Schedules hereto, the Disclosure Letter and the
EPP Disclosure Letter) supersedes all prior agreements, understandings or representations by or between the parties, 

  
 67 

 
written or oral, with respect to the subject matter thereof and constitutes (along with the documents, agreements, instruments and certificates referred to herein or delivered or made available
pursuant hereto) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by all the parties hereto. 

11.6 Disclosure Letter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement or any Related
Agreement, on the one hand, and those in the Disclosure Letter or EPP Disclosure Letter, on the other hand (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in such disclosure letter), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

 11.7 Representation; Rules of Construction. 

(a) Representation by Counsel. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it has been represented by independent counsel of its
choice throughout all negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement and that it has executed the same with consent and upon the advice of said independent counsel. Each such party and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and
preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and any and all drafts relating thereto shall be deemed the work product of the parties and may not be construed against any party by reason of its preparation. Accordingly, any
rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against any party that drafted it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived. 

(b) Construction. The terms “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and terms of similar import shall refer to
this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Article, Section, clause, subsection, Exhibit and Schedule references contained in this Agreement are references to Articles, Sections, clauses, subsections, Exhibits
and Schedules in or attached to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified. Each defined term used in this Agreement has a comparable meaning when used in its plural or singular form. Each gender specific term used in this Agreement has a comparable
meaning whether used in a masculine, feminine or gender neutral form. Whenever the terms “include” or “including” are used in this Agreement (whether or not such terms are followed by the phrase “but not limited to” or
“without limitation” or words of similar effect) in connection with a listing of items within a particular classification, that listing shall be interpreted to be illustrative only and shall not be interpreted as a limitation on, or an
exclusive listing of, the items within that classification. 
 (c) Captions. The captions used in this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize or in any way affect any provision of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced and construed as if no
caption had been used in this Agreement. 
 11.8 Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. No party hereto may
assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written Consent of the other parties hereto except that EPP may assign any of its rights under this Agreement, upon prior written notice to Company, but without obtaining such prior
written Consent, (a) to any Affiliate of EPP; (b) as needed by EPP to obtain any financing related to the Contemplated Transactions; 

  
 68 

 
or (c) to any third party that acquires (i) all or substantially all of the assets, whether through a sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, and whether in a
single transaction or a series of related transactions, or (ii) control of EPP, whether through the acquisition of equity interests of EPP or by merger, consolidation, or otherwise, and whether in a single transaction or series of related
transactions, and Company . Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. An assignment
by a party hereto of its rights under this Agreement, pursuant to this Section 11.8 shall not relieve such party of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give
any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole
and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successors and assigns. 
 11.9 Severability. If
any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only
in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

utilizing the AAA’s expedited procedures and applying Delaware law. The mediation will be governed by and conducted pursuant to a mediation agreement negotiated by the parties or, if the parties cannot so agree, by procedures established by the
mediator.
