 Section 13.02. Employee Matters.

all active employees of the Company as of a recent date, showing then-current positions and rates of compensation, and shall provide to Purchaser an opportunity to privately interview each such employee, as Purchaser may request, at a reasonable
time and place. Within 5 days of the receipt by Purchaser of such list from the Company, Purchaser shall notify the Company in writing which employees (“Prospective Employees”) it plans to provide with offers of employment, provided they
are actively employed (whether or not actively at work on such Closing Date). Notification of intent to hire as to a particular employee shall not create any obligation of Purchaser to extend an offer 

  

 -35- 

 
of employment to such employee. Prospective Employees that primarily work at any Store who accept Purchaser’s offer of employment and become employees
of Purchaser within thirty (30) days of the applicable Closing Date and Prospective Employees that primarily work at the corporate offices of the Company (including individuals working in information technology, any store operations supervisor,
and individuals working in the accounting department) who accept Purchaser’s offer of employment and become employees of Purchaser within ninety (90) days of the applicable Closing Date are referred to herein as “New Employees.”

 (b) Service Credit for New Employees. The Company agrees Purchaser shall be under no obligation to and shall not
assume sponsorship of any Company Plan. In no event shall Purchaser be obligated to amend any existing Plan of Purchaser or to adopt any new Plan in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement, and no provision hereof shall be construed to so
require. 
 (c) Benefit Plans. 
 (i) No New Employee shall be eligible for coverage under any medical, dental, vision, prescription drug, life insurance and other welfare
benefit plans maintained by Purchaser for its employees (“Purchaser’s Welfare Plans”), except in strict accordance with the eligibility provisions of Purchaser’s Welfare Plans on the applicable Closing Date. However, Purchaser
will comply with all laws and regulations which may be applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, it is agreed that New Employees who are full-time employees of the Company and are participants in
the Company’s medical benefits plan will be permitted to enter Purchaser’s corresponding Plan with no waiting period. Additionally, Purchaser shall make available to full-time New Employees, through a special enrollment period, the
opportunity to participate in certain of Purchaser’s Welfare Plans including (a) dental, (b) life insurance, (c) short-term disability and (d) long-term disability. These benefits shall be immediately available to such New
Employees without any accompanying waiting period. In the event a New Employee fails to enroll in any such Purchaser Welfare Plan during such special enrollment period, such New Employee shall be eligible to enroll in the Purchaser’s Welfare
Plans pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans applicable to other employees of Purchaser. 
 (ii) New Employees shall be eligible to participate in Purchaser’s savings plans, such as any 401K savings plan, and in any Internal Revenue Service “Section 125 Cafeteria Plan”, or similar flexible spending account plans, on
the same terms and conditions as applicable to other employees of Purchaser. 
 (iii) Each New Employee will be responsible
for any individual costs and expenses incurred in connection with any deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses associated with any benefits to which such New Employee is eligible under Purchaser’s Welfare Plans. 
 (iv) Any sick time accrued by any New Employees while employed by the Company shall be separately addressed by the Company, and Purchaser
shall have no responsibility to make any payments relating thereto or to accept or honor such accrued 

  

 -36- 

 
sick time. Each New Employee shall begin to accrue sick time upon commencement of employment with Purchaser in accordance with Purchaser’s policies
relating thereto. 
 (v) New Employees who are part-time employees shall only be eligible to participate in the
Purchaser’s Welfare Plans pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof as applicable to other part-time employees of Purchaser, and may not be eligible for any special enrollment that may otherwise be available to full-time New Employees.

 (d) Vacation. With respect to accrued vacation, the Company will pay each New Employee, prior to their commencement
of work for Purchaser, or as soon as practicable thereafter, for all accrued paid vacation in excess of the annual vacation accrual that employees of the same job description and years of full-time service would receive pursuant to the employment
policies of Purchaser then in effect. 
 Each full-time New Employee of Purchaser will commence employment with Purchaser with an accrued
paid vacation entitlement equal to the portion of their vacation accrual with the Company for which no payment has been made pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate of each New
Employee’s Vacation Payout. For purposes of this paragraph “Vacation Payout” shall mean, with respect to any New Employee, an amount equal to 109.15% of the product of (x) the total number of vacation hours accrued by such New
Employee while employed by the Company and (y) such New Employee’s then current hourly rate at which such New Employee is paid by the Company. 
 Each full-time employee of the Company who enters full-time employment with Purchaser with less than one (1) week of accrued paid vacation will be granted such additional vacation as will make the employee’s
total accrued paid vacation equal to one week; provided that any and all costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with providing any additional vacation days shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser and the Company shall have no
obligation to pay for or incur any costs or expenses in connection therewith. Any additional vacation so granted must be taken within the first year of employment with Purchaser and shall be taken at the times mutually agreed to by Purchaser and the
relevant New Employee. 
 After the first year of full-time employment with Purchaser, each full-time employee will be entitled to paid
vacation in accordance with Purchaser’s policies as from time to time constituted, based on the employee’s total years of continuous full-time employment (without breaks in service or any return to part-time status) with the Company and
Purchaser combined. 
 (e) General. The Company and Purchaser shall give any notices required by Law and take whatever
other actions with respect to the plans described in this Section 13.02 as may be necessary to carry out the arrangements in this Section 13.02. The Company and Purchaser shall provide each other with such plan documents and
descriptions, employee data and other information as may reasonably be required to carry out the arrangements described in this Section 13.02. If any of the arrangements in this Section 13.02 are determined by the Internal
Revenue Service or other applicable Governmental Entity, or by a court of competent jurisdiction, to be prohibited by Law, the Company and Purchaser shall modify such arrangements to as closely as possible retain the intent of the parties as
reflected herein in a manner that is not so prohibited. 
  

 -37- 

 (f) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Section 13.02 or
elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to make any employee of the Company a third party beneficiary of this Agreement. 
 (g) Liability for Seller’s Plans. It is expressly understood that Purchaser assumes no liability or obligation for any of Company Plans or Company Benefit Obligations, and that the ongoing operations or termination of such
Company’s Plans or Company Benefit Obligations, and any expenses incidental thereto, shall be the sole responsibility of the Company. 
 Section 13.03. Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Purchaser, as promptly as practicable, whether before or after the applicable Closing Date, such information and assistance
relating to the Business as is reasonably necessary for the preparation and filing by Purchaser of any Tax Return, claim for refund, or other required or optional filings relating to Tax matters, for the preparation by Purchaser for, and proof of
facts during, any Tax audit, for the preparation by Purchaser for any Tax protest, for the prosecution or defense by Purchaser of any suit or other proceeding relating to Tax matters, or for the answer by Purchaser to any governmental or regulatory
inquiry relating to Tax matters.

and after the applicable Closing Date, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, Purchaser shall provide access to the Company and its attorneys, accountants and other representatives, at the Company’s expense, to such Files and
Records as the Company may reasonably deem necessary to properly prepare for, file, prove, answer, prosecute, and/or defend any such return, filing, audit, protest, claim, suit, inquiry or other proceeding. 
 Section 13.05. License to Use Name and Logo. The Company shall License and otherwise authorize the Purchaser to use the name
“Nordy’s” and the “Nordy” logo for one year after the applicable Closing Date at a cost of One Dollar ($1.00) per year. The License shall be limited to the Stores now owned by the Company where the “Nordy’s”
name is being used as of the date of this Agreement. 
 To the extent that Purchaser does not purchase any Location pursuant to the terms
hereof, Purchaser shall grant a nonexclusive, royalty free license to Sellers to use the name HandiMart and any other trade names transferred hereby so long as Sellers or their Affiliates own any such Location, but in no event longer than three
years from the Closing Date. Upon any transfer of any such Location, the transferee of such Location shall be entitled to use the name HandiMart or any other trade name transferred by this Agreement for a period of six months following the transfer
of such Location. 
 Section 13.06. Non-Compete. In further consideration of the payments to be made by the Purchaser
hereunder, the Sellers and Shareholders covenant and agree that for a period of fifteen (15) years from and after the First Closing Date they will not engage in a 

  

 -38- 

 
business the same as or similar to the business conducted by Purchaser at its Casey’s General Stores or participate therein in any capacity, as an

expressly provided in the Non-Competition Agreements which are attached as Exhibits C-1, C-2 and C-3 hereto. 
 Section 13.07.
Licenses and Permits. The Purchaser shall obtain new operating licenses, product licenses and permits, and tax permits, as necessary, for each Location and shall promptly notify all concerned state, federal, and local governmental agencies of
the change in ownership. To the extent permitted by Law, Purchaser shall be permitted to use any permits or licenses of the Sellers held in connection with the Business and any Location, until new permits and/or licenses have been obtained; and
Sellers, upon request, agree to grant any consents or approvals necessary to implementation of such use by the Purchaser, subject to Purchaser’s obligation to hold Sellers harmless from all expenses, liability or other consequences of such use.
Purchaser agrees to reimburse Sellers for the unused portion of any pre-paid fees for Licenses and Permits assigned to the Purchaser. Upon receipt of all necessary permits and licenses by the Purchaser, Sellers shall cancel their existing Licenses
and Permits (except those assigned to the Purchaser) and shall file final reports and/or Tax Returns with each concerned agency or official and shall pay any taxes, penalties or other charges due thereunder not attributable to Purchaser’s use
thereof.

(and costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees as is provided by Law in respect of any suit to enforce this provision) (each a “Claim”; provided, however, that the term “Claim” shall not include any punitive damages) arising from
or relating to (a) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any of the covenants or agreements of Company or any other Sellers in this Agreement; (b) any liability, obligation or commitment of any nature (absolute,
accrued, contingent or other) of Sellers or relating to the Acquired Assets or the operation of the Business arising out of transactions entered into or events occurring prior to the First Closing Date, including without limitation, any successor
liability or responsible officer liability asserted against Purchaser for Taxes or otherwise relating to events occurring prior to such Closing Date; (c) any investigation, civil, criminal or administrative action, notice or demand letter,

investigations, proceedings, demands, assessments, audits and judgments arising out of any of the foregoing. The Shareholders shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its successors, officers, directors, representatives and agents from and
against any and all Claims resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation with respect to the representation set forth in Sections 7.17 and 7.21; provided that the indemnification provided by the Shareholders shall be the
exclusive remedy against the Shareholders that is available to Purchaser and the liability of the Shareholders shall be limited to an amount equal to that portion of the Purchase Price paid to the Company pursuant to Section 3.01.

 Section 14.02. Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Company and each other Seller and
their respective successors, officers, directors, representatives and agents from and against any and all Claims resulting from or relating to (a) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any of the covenants or agreements
of Purchaser in this Agreement; (b) any and all suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, demands, assessments, audits and judgments arising out of any of the foregoing; and (c) any liability, obligation or commitment of any nature

 Section 14.03. Procedure. 
 (a) After acquiring actual knowledge of any Claim for which one of the parties hereto (the “Indemnified Party”) is entitled to indemnification against another party (the “Indemnifying Party”)
pursuant to this Article XIV, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. Failure to provide written notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article XIV except to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual damage caused by that failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party upon delivery of written
notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party, after written notice from the Indemnified Party, fails to take timely action to defend the action resulting from the Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
defend the action resulting from the Claim by counsel of its own choosing, but at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnifying Party was responsible for such Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle or
compromise any Claim against it, and, as the case may be, recover from the Indemnifying Party any amount paid in settlement or compromise thereof, if it has given written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party has failed
to take timely action to defend the same and was reasonable for such Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any claim against the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. 
 (b) Upon its receipt of any amount paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XIV, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the
Indemnifying Party such documents as it may reasonably request assigning to the Indemnifying Party any and all rights, to the extent indemnified, that the Indemnified Party may have against third parties with respect to the Claim for which
indemnification is being received. 
  

 -40- 

 Section 14.04. Limitation on Indemnification by Company and each other Seller. The obligations of
Company and each other Seller pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.01 are subject to the following limitations: 
 (a) The Purchaser shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 14.01 until the total amount which the Purchaser would recover under Section 14.01, but for this Section 14.04, exceeds the Basket,
in which event the Purchaser shall be entitled to recover for all Claims recoverable under Section 14.01, including the amount in the Basket; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be entitled to indemnification for any such
Claims following the applicable Survival Date. The foregoing limitation on the indemnification obligation by the Company and each other Seller shall not apply to recovery under Section 14.01 for Claims made based on an alleged breach of
one or more of the Extended Representations and Warranties or to claims made under the Environmental Response and Indemnification Agreement, but such indemnification pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement shall otherwise be Purchaser’s
sole and exclusive remedy against the Company and each other Seller. Other than the Extended Representations and Warranties, the maximum indemnification liability of Sellers shall be limited to the amount held in and claims shall only be made from
the Escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the provisions of Exhibit B (Environmental Response and Indemnity Agreement) hereto or other environmental matters. In no event shall claims for ordinary repairs or maintenance
occasioned by ordinary wear and tear be included in the Basket. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not
be entitled to indemnification hereunder if, on the date of this Agreement, one of the representatives of Purchaser identified on Schedule 14.04(b) had actual knowledge of a breach of a representation or warranty with respect to which the
Purchaser is seeking indemnification. 
 ARTICLE XV. TERMINATION 
 Section 15.01. Events of Termination. This Agreement may, by notice given in the manner hereinafter provided, be terminated and abandoned at any

default or material breach by Purchaser with respect to Purchaser’s representations and warranties in Articles V, VI and VII of this Agreement or the due and timely performance of any of the covenants or agreements of Purchaser contained in
this Agreement, and in the case of a covenant or agreement default or breach, such default or breach shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by Purchaser of notice specifying particularly such default or breach or if the
breach could not be cured within thirty (30) days, only if the Purchaser fails to begin to take remedial action within the thirty (30) day period or if such remedial action is commenced within thirty (30) days but does not continue in
a businesslike manner until such default or breach is materially cured; 
 (b) by Purchaser, if there has been a material
misrepresentation or a material default or material breach by any Seller with respect to its representations and warranties in Article VII of this Agreement or the due and timely performance of any of the
