    2.    PURCHASE
      AND SALE OF PRODUCTS.

    

    (a)  
      Subject
      to Articles 18 and 19, Seller shall sell and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall
      purchase and accept from Seller, the minimum quantities of Products identified
      in Exhibit A during each month and year during the term of this Agreement
      (“Minimum Quantities”). Buyer acknowledges that the Minimum Quantities are
      necessary and reasonable for, among other reasons, Seller to plan its supply
      operations and, as such, are of material and reasonable significance to the
      franchise relationship. Buyer also acknowledges that Seller has established
      minimum volume levels for gasoline (“Base Volume”) to be resold through Buyer’s
      Outlets for its customers in order to retain a Wholesale Marketer Agreement.
      Accordingly, in no event may Buyer’s Minimum Quantities be less than the
      following Base Volume:

    

    If
      the
      Minimum Quantities are less than the minimum Base Volume, the Minimum Quantities
      are deemed amended to be the same as the minimum Base Volume; and the Maximum
      Quantities will be proportionately increased. If Buyer fails to purchase this
      minimum Base Volume, Seller may take such action as Seller deems appropriate,
      including, without limitation, terminating or not renewing this
      Agreement.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (b)  
      Seller
      may, but will not be obligated to, sell Buyer more than the “Maximum Quantities”
identified in Exhibit A. Seller’s exercise of its right to do so will not
      obligate Seller to continue to sell Buyer such excess quantities.

    

    (c)  
      To
      the
      extent practicable, Buyer shall take delivery of all Products on a ratable
      basis.

    

    (d)  
      If
      Buyer
      fails to purchase and accept the Minimum Quantities in any 12-month period,
      Seller may unilaterally downward adjust the Minimum/Maximum Quantities each
      succeeding 12-month period by the difference between the annual Minimum
      Quantities and the amount actually purchased for that 12-month period. In
      addition, Buyer may request that Seller downward adjust Buyer’s Minimum/Maximum
      Quantities if the need for the downward adjustment is due to a reason beyond
      Buyer’s reasonable control. If Seller agrees that the reason is beyond Buyer’s
      reasonable control, Seller shall downward adjust the Minimum/Maximum Quantities
      each succeeding 12-month period by the difference between the annual Minimum
      Quantities and the amount actually purchased for that 12-month period. Likewise,
      if Buyer purchases more than the Minimum Quantities, Buyer may request that
      Seller upward adjust Buyer’s Minimum/Maximum Quantities. If Seller agrees, the
      Minimum/Maximum Quantities will be upward adjusted for each succeeding 12-month
      period.

    

    (e)  
      If
      the
      term of this Agreement commences at any time after January 1st of any year
      during the term of this Agreement, Buyer must purchase and accept the Minimum
      Quantities during the remaining months of that 12-month period, but Seller's
      rights and remedies set forth in Articles 2(a) and (d) above will not commence
      until the next full 12-month period.

    

    (f)  
      If
      Buyer
      terminates this Agreement prior to the expiration of its term or if Seller
      terminates this Agreement for cause in accordance with the PMPA or applicable
      Law, Seller will be entitled to all remedies available at Law or in equity.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer terminates this Agreement and Buyer’s
      Outlets remain branded under the Identifications, Seller may waive its remedies
      pursuant to this article.

    

    3.    PRICES
      AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

      Seller

      sums owed to Seller. Further, if Buyer fails to make timely payment of any
      amount due Seller, in addition to all other rights or remedies available, Seller
      may take such action as Seller deems reasonable under the circumstances. Without
      limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller may setoff or equitably recoup
      against any amount then due Buyer, defer further deliveries of the Products
      until payment of all outstanding indebtedness is made, and demand advance cash
      payment for further deliveries. Buyer shall comply with the terms of any
      commercially acceptable reclamation notice issued to Buyer by Seller under
      applicable Law.

    

    4.    TERM.
      The term
      of this Agreement is ten years subject to the Seller’s right to terminate or not
      renew this Agreement in accordance with applicable law. Upon expiration, this
      Agreement will continue on a month-to-month basis until the parties execute
      a
      new agreement or Seller terminates or does not renew this Agreement in
      accordance with applicable law. The term begins on the date of the first
      delivery of Shell gasoline.

      important property right and are essential to the goodwill and reputation of

      of
      the Transaction Cards, Buyer shall: (1) comply with the terms of the Guide;
      (2)
      execute any applicable Seller agreement relating to the use of such equipment;
      and (3) reimburse Seller for any charges relating to the use of such equipment
      (whether third party or internal) incurred by Seller.

     

    (f)  
      Without
      limiting any rights or remedies available to Seller, if Buyer fails to comply
      with this article or the Guide, Seller may limit or terminate Buyer’s or the
      operator’s right to participate in Seller’s program for Transaction Cards;
      provided, however, if the failure is technical or immaterial, in Seller’s sole
      discretion, Seller may provide Buyer or the operator of Buyer’s Outlet, as the
      case may be, 30 days to correct such failure. Further, Seller may terminate
      its
      Transaction Card program at any time upon notice to Buyer.

    

    13.   INSPECTION
      AND AUDIT.
      Buyer

      Marketing Premises and Buyer’s Outlets at all reasonable times to inspect the
      facilities, procedures, and materials being used in connection with the purchase
      and sale of the Products, to obtain samples of and conduct tests on the
      Products, to inspect the books and records pertaining to the purchase and sale
      of the Products, and to audit, observe, and otherwise verify Buyer’s compliance
      with this Agreement.

    

    14.   TAXES.
      Buyer
      shall pay all federal, state, and local taxes, excises, duties, license fees,
      inspection fees, and other assessments and charges of any kind and nature,
      now
      or hereafter levied, (“Taxes”) assessed by any governmental authority, relating
      to the importation, manufacture, sale, purchase, transportation, storage,
      resale, or use of the Products insofar as the same is not expressly included
      in
      the price for the Products. If Buyer pays directly any Tax normally remitted
      by
      Seller, Seller may require proof of payment of such charges from Buyer and
      may
      require Buyer to provide a bond or other form of security necessary to protect
      Seller against loss arising from nonpayment. Buyer shall furnish Seller with
      satisfactory tax exemption certificates where an exemption is
      claimed.

    

    15.   WARRANTY
      AND DISCLAIMER. SELLER WARRANTS THAT ALL PRODUCTS SOLD TO BUYER WILL MEET THE
      THEN-CURRENT SPECIFICATIONS OF SHELL. SELLER MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY

      BUT
      NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
      PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

    (a)  
      Seller
      will not be liable to Buyer for any defect in quality or shortage in quantity

      specified in this Agreement the parties will not be liable to each other for
      any
      other claim arising out of this Agreement unless the claimant provides the
      other
      party with written notice of the claim (setting forth fully the facts on which
      the claim is based) within 180 days after the date on which the claim
      arose.

    

    
      	
            	17.	
              COMPLIANCE

      Outlets.

    

    (b)  
      Without
      limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall comply with all Laws
      relating to unleaded gasoline, oxygenated gasoline, reformulated gasoline,
      Reid
      vapor pressure, fuel additives, and diesel fuel as specified in Exhibit D,
      which
      Seller may amend from time to time upon written notice to Buyer. Further, if
      Buyer or any operator of Buyer’s Outlets owns or operates any UST systems (as
      defined in applicable Laws), Buyer shall comply, and cause the operator to
      comply, with all applicable Laws governing UST systems, including but not
      limited to financial responsibility requirements through mechanisms provided
      for
      in such Laws such as guarantees, surety bonds, and insurance. Buyer shall also
      comply with Retailer Inventory Control Program (Exhibit D-1).

    18.   EXCUSES
      FOR NON-PERFORMANCE.
      Both
      parties will be excused from their obligations under this Agreement (except
      for
      financial obligations) to the extent that performance is delayed or prevented
      by
      the following matters: circumstances reasonably beyond the parties’ control
      including, but not limited to, flood, ice storm, snowstorm, or earthquake;
      fire
      or explosion; delay or loss of transportation or delivery equipment; mechanical
      breakdown; strikes or other labor trouble, plant shutdown, riots, or other
      civil
      disturbances; or voluntary or involuntary compliance with any Law or request
      of
      any governmental authority.

    

    19.   ALLOCATION.
      If
      Seller, for any reason, does not have sufficient supplies of the Products to
      supply its customers, then during any period of short supply Seller may restrict
      deliveries of the Products to Buyer without liability and may allocate Seller’s
      supply of the Products among its customers and classes of customers which in
      Seller’s judgment is fair and reasonable under the circumstances. After
      cessation of any period
      of
      short supply, Buyer and Seller shall promptly resume deliveries and receipts
      of
      the Products but shall not be obligated to make up any deliveries or receipts
      not made because of such period of short supply.

    (c)  
      NOTWITHSTANDING
      BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS IN ARTICLE 20(a), BUYER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND DEFEND THE

        FINAL
        NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE INDEMNIFIED

      coverage in compliance with this article will not relieve Buyer of its
      obligations in this article.

    

    
      	
            	22.	
              ASSIGNMENTS.

            

    

    

    (a)  
      Assignment
      by Buyer.
      This
      Agreement is personal to Buyer. Buyer may not sell, transfer, assign, or
      encumber any of its interest under this Agreement, or assign any claim against
      Seller arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with this
      Agreement, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by
      operation of Law (collectively, “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of
      Seller, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Seller will have 30
      days (or any lesser period specified by Law) after receipt of Buyer’s request
      for Seller’s consent and all qualification information reasonably required by
      Seller to provide Buyer with written notice of its decision to grant or withhold
      consent. Seller’s consent to any Transfer is not a waiver of the provisions of
      this article as to any future transaction. Any Transfer by Buyer without
      Seller’s prior written consent is void.

    

    (b)  
      Successor
      in Interest.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer or the person currently in “control” of
      the ownership interest of Buyer (“control” being the authority to direct the
      operations of Buyer and to have or exercise management responsibility) dies
      or
      suffers severe physical or mental disability of at least 3 months which renders
      Buyer unable to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or if
      Buyer
      seeks to Transfer any of its interest in this Agreement for estate planning
      purposes, Seller consents to the Transfer of this Agreement, in whole or in
      part, to a qualified member of the individual's immediate family. For the
      purposes of this article a “qualified member” includes the individual's spouse,
      adult child, parent, brother and sister who is acceptable to Seller under
      Seller’s current Transfer guidelines. 

    

    (c)  
      Transfer
      Events.
      Without
      limiting the foregoing, the following events constitute a Transfer:

     

    (1)  
      Subject
      to Article 22(b) above, if Buyer is an individual and Buyer dies and Buyer’s
      interest in this Agreement is transferred, whether by will or operation of
      Law;

     

    (2)  
      Buyer
      becomes bankrupt or insolvent, Buyer makes an assignment for the benefit of
      creditors, or a proceeding is instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, and, if
      it
      is an involuntary proceeding, Buyer or other affected party has not had it
      dismissed within 60 days;

     

    (3)  
      A
      writ of
      attachment or execution is levied on this Agreement and is not removed by Buyer
      within 30 days;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (4)  
      A
      receiver is appointed with authority to take over Buyer’s interest in this
      Agreement and is not removed within 60 days in any proceeding or action to
      which
      Buyer is a party;

     

    (5)  
      If
      Buyer
      is a partnership or a limited liability partnership, a withdrawal or any change
      of interest (voluntary, involuntary or by operation of Law) of any partner
      or
      the dissolution of the partnership; provided, however, a Transfer of interests
      between existing partner is not a Transfer requiring Seller’s prior
      consent;

     

    (6)  
      If
      Buyer
      is a limited liability company or a corporation, any dissolution, merger,
      consolidation or other reorganization, or other arrangement having similar
      effect, or the Transfer by Buyer or any member or shareholder with a controlling
      interest or more of the voting shares of the capital stock of Buyer or of any
      lesser interest which cumulatively vests a controlling interest of such voting
      shares in the transferee; provided, however, if Buyer Transfers more than 25%
      of
      the interest in any one year or more than 49% of the interest over the term
      of
      this Agreement, Buyer must obtain Seller’s consent in accordance with Article
      22(a) above; and

     

    (7)  
      If
      Buyer
      is composed of more than one person, any change of interest (voluntary,
      involuntary or by operation of Law) of any such person.

    

    (d)  
      Notice
      of Pending Sale.
      If
      Buyer formalizes a plan to sell, or receives a proposal or offer to purchase,
      Buyer’s business, Buyer’s Marketing Premises, or any Buyer’s Outlet, Buyer shall
      provide Seller or its designee with the necessary information relating to the
      proposed purchase or sale to afford Seller an opportunity to negotiate an
      agreement with Buyer to purchase the business or assets. Upon receipt of the
      notice, the parties shall execute a mutually acceptable confidentiality
      agreement pertaining to the sale and Seller will have a maximum of 30 days
      to
      make Buyer an offer to purchase; provided, however Seller shall make a
      reasonable effort to respond to Buyer in less time. Buyer shall consider, but
      will not be obligated to accept, any purchase offer made by Seller.

    

    (e)  
      Assignment
      by Seller.
      Seller
      may transfer its interest, in whole or in part, in this Agreement.

    

    23.   DE-IDENTIFICATION
      OF BUYER’S OUTLETS. 

    

    (a)  
      If
      any
      action is taken at any Buyer’s Outlet that is prohibited by this Agreement, any
      action is not taken that is required or contemplated by this Agreement, or
      the
      operations at a Buyer’s Outlet are otherwise not conducted in accordance with
      this Agreement, Seller may revoke the permission Seller granted to use the
      Identifications at that Buyer’s Outlet by giving written notice to Buyer.
      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Buyer’s Outlet is
      abandoned, not operated, is no longer supplied by Buyer, or if a sufficient
      amount of all grades of Seller’s branded gasoline or, if applicable, branded
      diesel fuel is not maintained at a Buyer’s Outlet for 7 consecutive days, or
      such lesser period which under the facts and circumstances constitutes an
      unreasonable period of time, Buyer must notify Seller, immediately de-identify
      the outlet, and then notify Seller of the de-identification.

    

    (b)  
      Promptly

      shall take all steps necessary and appropriate to cease the marketing and
      selling of Products, and otherwise using the Identifications, at the Buyer’s

      if requested by Seller return, all signs or materials bearing any of the
      Identifications including, if applicable, the Lazy S canopy fascia, illuminated

      located;

     

    (5)  
      Termination
      by Seller for cause of any other agreement between Buyer and Seller pertaining
      to this facility.

    (6)  
      Any
      other
      ground for which termination is provided for in this Agreement or is otherwise
      allowed by the PMPA or other applicable Law.

    
       

      (b)  
        Termination
        After Execution.
        If
        after execution of this Agreement Seller has grounds to terminate or not
        renew
        any then existing agreement between the parties, or to terminate this Agreement
        as if it were then in its term, Seller may terminate this Agreement, as well
        as
        any existing agreement pertaining to this location, based on those
        grounds.

       

      (c)  
        Non-renewal
        by Seller.
        Subject
        to any limitations imposed by Law, Seller may not renew this Agreement for
        any
        of the grounds specified in Article 24(a) or any other ground for which
        non-renewal is provided for in this Agreement or is otherwise allowed by
        the
        PMPA or other applicable Law.

       

      (d)  
        Mutual
        Termination.
        The
        parties may terminate or not renew this Agreement by mutual written agreement
        in
        the form and manner permitted by the PMPA.

       

      (e)  
        Acts
        Attributable to Buyer.
        In
        determining whether a ground for termination or non-renewal exists under
        this
        article, the acts or omissions of Buyer’s employees, agents, and contractors are
        the acts or omissions of Buyer. If Buyer is comprised of more than one person,
        the acts or omissions of each such person are the acts or omissions of Buyer.
        If
        Buyer is a Business Entity, in addition to those individuals mentioned above,
        the acts or omissions of each partner, shareholder or member, as the case
        may
        be, are the acts or omissions of Buyer.

    

    

    25.   RIGHTS
      AND DUTIES UPON TERMINATION OR NONRENEWAL.

    

    (a)  
      Upon
      termination or non-renewal of this Agreement, Buyer shall immediately cease
      marketing and selling the Products and otherwise using the Identifications
      or
      any marks confusingly similar thereto. Without limiting the generality of the
      foregoing, at Buyer’s expense, Buyer shall: (1) remove, and if requested by
      Seller return, all signs or materials bearing any of the Identifications
      including, if applicable, the Lazy S canopy fascia, illuminated light bar,
      and
      the building portico; (2) remove and destroy, or permanently paint over, all
      other brand Identification items, advertising displays, color schemes and other
      materials bearing any of the Identifications (whether used on buildings,
      equipment, tanks, trucks, automobiles or stationery; and (3) return any
      equipment loaned or leased by Seller to Buyer for use at Buyer’s
      Outlets.

     

    (b)  
      If
      Buyer
      fails for any reason to cease marketing and selling the Products or otherwise
      using any of the Identifications immediately upon the Effective Date of
      termination or non-renewal, then Seller may enter Buyer’s Marketing Premises and
      the Buyer’s Outlets operated by Buyer to carry out Buyer’s obligations under
      Article 25(a) above, at Buyer’s expense. Buyer shall not interfere, and will not
      permit any of its employees, agents or representatives to interfere, with
      Seller’s rights under this article. Seller’s exercise of its right of entry will
      not constitute a trespass or other tort.

     

    (c)  
      If
      Buyer
      fails for any reason to cease marketing and selling Products or otherwise using
      any of the Identifications immediately upon the Effective Date of termination
      or
      non-renewal, then Seller may take all necessary and appropriate action, in
      Buyer’s name and at Buyer’s expense, to cause the operator of that Buyer’s
      Outlet to cease that activity.

     

    (d)  
      Seller
      will be entitled to injunctive and equitable relief for any violation of this
      article and Buyer shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable
      attorneys’ fees and other legal costs Seller incurs, in enforcing this
      article.

    

    26.   INDEPENDENT
      CONTRACTOR.
      Buyer is
      an independent businessperson, and nothing in this Agreement may be construed
      as
      reserving to Seller any right to exercise any control over, or to direct in
      any
      respect the conduct or management of, Buyer’s business or operations conducted
      pursuant to this Agreement, but the entire control and direction of such
      business and operations are and will remain in Buyer, subject only to Buyer’s
      performance of the obligations of this Agreement. Neither Buyer nor any person
      performing any duties or engaged in any work at the Buyer’s Outlets will be
      deemed an employee or agent of Seller, and none of them is authorized to impose
      on Seller any obligations or liability whatsoever.

    27.   BUSINESS
      ENTITY OR JOINT BUYER.

    
       

      (a)  
        If
        Buyer
        is comprised of more than one person, the obligations imposed under this
        Agreement are joint and several as to each person and all of the terms apply
        to
        each person with the same effect as though that person were the sole
        Buyer.

       

      (b)  
        If
        Buyer
        is a Business Entity, all obligations and provisions of this Agreement of
        a
        personal nature apply as if the Business Entity were an individual and, insofar
        as is legally possible and reasonably practicable, to those individuals who
        have
        or exercise management responsibility for the Business Entity, including,
        without limitation, officers, directors or agents of corporations and partners
        of partnerships. The Business Entity must manage its affairs with respect
        to the
        personal obligations and provisions in a manner so as to give full force
        and
        effect to the same.

    

    

    28.   NOTICES.

    
       

      (a)  
        Except
        as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all notices must be in writing
        and in
        compliance with the PMPA and other applicable Law.
        Subject
        to any requirements of Law, any notice (including price notifications) may
        be
        given to Buyer by personal service or by electronic mail or to either party
        only
        by certified mail. Notice will be deemed given based upon the date of the
        notice.

       

      (b)  
        If
        Buyer
        is a Business Entity, Seller may give notice to: (1) any officer or director
        of
        a corporation or limited liability company; (2) any partner of a partnership
        or
        limited liability partnership; or (3) any personal representative, agent,
        or
        employee of any other Business Entity.

    

    

    29.   ATTORNEY’S
      FEES.
      Seller
      or Buyer, as the case may be, will be entitled to recover from the other party
      reasonable attorney’s fees and other legal costs the prevailing party incurs in
      order to secure or protect the rights inuring to the prevailing party under
      this
      Agreement, or to enforce the terms thereof.

    

    30.   AMORTIZATION
      OF BRANDING COSTS. Buyer understands and acknowledges that Seller expended
      a
      certain amount of money to brand this location with the Shell brand. These
      funds
      were spent with the understanding that this agreement would remain in place
      for
      the full ten year period. Should Buyer wish to terminate this agreement prior
      to
      its expiration, then Buyer agrees to reimburse Seller for the unamortized
      portion of these funds. It is hereby agreed that the funds will amortize at
      the
      rate of 1/120 of the total amount spent each month that the agreement is in
      place. In addition to repaying the unamortized amount to the Seller, Buyer
      also
      agrees to reimburse the Seller for his expenses to de-brand the site to remove
      all signs of the Shell brand.

    

    31.   GENERAL
      PROVISIONS.

    
       

      (a)  
        This
        Agreement as of the Effective Date hereof cancels and supersedes all prior
        and
        contemporaneous representations, inducements, agreements, commitments, and
        undertakings with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except
        those
        written agreements relating to any indemnification, reimbursement, indebtedness,
        or debt security obligations (including, but not limited to, any security
        interest, security agreement, guaranty, mortgage, deed of trust, promissory
        note, or UCC filing).

       

      (b)  
        Except
        as
        expressly provided under this Agreement, all amendments and supplements to
        this
        Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties.

       

      (c)  
        Any
        waiver of any provision of this Agreement must be in writing signed by the
        parties. Either party’s delay or failure to enforce any provision of this
        Agreement or any course of dealing or trade custom or usage will not operate
        as
        a waiver of compliance with that provision or a waiver or estoppel of the
        party’s right to enforce any other provision of this Agreement.

       

      (d)  
        The
        provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any provision of this Agreement
        is, for any reason, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of
        this
        Agreement are valid and enforceable if the basic intent of the parties is
        still
        capable of being achieved.

      (e)  
        This
        Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against the parties’ respective
        successors, permitted assignees, legal representatives, executors,
        administrators, heirs, and legatees.

       

      (f)  
        Neither
        this Agreement nor any subsequent agreement amending or supplementing this
        Agreement is binding unless a duly authorized representative of the parties
        signs the Agreement, amendment, or supplement.

    ENVIRONMENTAL
      REGULATION

    SUPPLEMENT

    

    Buyer
      shall strictly comply with the regulations of the Environmental Protection
      Agency ("EPA") promulgated as Part 80 - REGULATION OF FUELS AND FUEL ADDITIVES,
      of Chapter I, Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations ("C.F.R."), and with any
      applicable state regulations covering the Products, as amended from time to
      time
      (the "Regulations"), including, but not limited to, those obligations set forth
      below. "Gasoline," “Diesel Fuel,” and other terms used in this exhibit have the
      same meanings as defined in the Regulations. With respect to the Buyers’
Outlets, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:

    

    (a)  
      Seller's
      Responsibilities. Seller may:

     

    (1)  
      Continuing
      for the period as Seller, in Seller’s sole judgment, deems appropriate, take
      periodic samples from the Product dispenser(s) at Buyer’s Outlets or from other
      buyers supplied from the same Plant and test such samples to determine whether
      the Products are in compliance with the Regulations. Any such sampling and
      testing will not relieve Buyer of any obligation Buyer has under the Agreement
      or by Law to sell, dispense and offer for sale only Products complying with
      the
      Regulations.

     

    (2)  
      Give
      prompt notice and details to Buyer (by telephone, followed by formal notice)
      if
      any test performed under (1) above, or through other circumstances known to
      Seller, indicates that the Product inventory at a Buyer’s Outlet is not in
      compliance with the Regulations. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any
      further action taken that is necessary (including pump out) to restore the
      availability of complying Products. The costs of any such further action,
      including further sampling and testing, will be at Buyer's expense if the cause
      of contamination was within Buyer's control.

    

    (b)  
      Buyer's
      Responsibilities.

     

    (1)  
      No
      unleaded Seller-branded gasoline may be mixed with any gasoline containing
      lead
      anti-knock agents. Unleaded Seller-branded gasoline may not be sold as any
      unleaded Seller-branded gasoline that is mixed with lead anti-knock
      agents.

     

    (2)  
      No
      leaded
      gasoline (i.e. gasoline containing unlawful amounts of lead or phosphorus)
      will
      be introduced into any motor vehicle which is labeled "UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY"
      or which is equipped with a gasoline tank filler inlet which is designed for
      the
      introduction of unleaded gasoline only.

     

    (3)  
      Gasoline
      may not be sold, offered for sale, supplied, dispensed, offered for supply,
      transported, or be caused to be transported, in which the Reid Vapor Pressure
      exceeds the legally applicable standard or where the oxygen content is below
      the
      legally applicable standard. Buyer shall not sell, offer for sale, dispense,
      supply, offer for supply, or transport reformulated gasoline which is below
      the
      legally applicable standard under the Law for the geographical area and time
      period in which such gasoline is intended to be dispensed to motor
      vehicles.

     

    (4)  
      Diesel
      fuel for use in motor vehicles may not be sold, offered for sale, supplied,
      dispensed, offered for supply, transported, or be caused to be transported,
      unless the diesel fuel (i) has a sulfur percentage, by weight, no greater than
      0.05 percent, (ii) has a cetane index of at least 40, or a maximum aromatic
      content of 35 volume percent, (iii) is free of visible evidence of the dye
      1,4-dialkylamino-anthraquinone and (iv) is free of visible evidence of the
      dye
      solvent red 164 unless it is used in a manner that is tax-exempt as defined
      under section 4082 of the Internal Revenue Code.

     

    (5)  
      Gasoline
      may not be sold, offered for sale, supplied, offered for supply, transported,
      or
      be caused to be transported, unless such gasoline is additized in accordance
      with the requirements of 40 C.F.R. section 80.161, as may be amended from time
      to time.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        16

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (6)  
      An
      oversight compliance program must be established and enforced to assure that
      Buyer and the operators of Buyer, and their respective employees or agents,
      or
      third parties (including the employees, agents or contractors of Seller) will
      not cause, allow, or permit the gasoline or diesel to not be in compliance
      with
      the Regulations or become contaminated with any other gasoline or diesel fuel
      product or foreign substance, at any time after delivery by or for Seller to
      Buyer. The oversight program should include periodic sampling and testing of
      the
      Product inventory; securing the manhole covers, fill line caps and dispensers
      to
      avoid authorized entry or use; and supervising and instructing those employees
      and others having access to the gasoline or diesel fuel system regarding proper
      procedures to prevent the Products from becoming non-compliant with the
      Regulations and to prevent contamination of the Products.

     

    (7)  
      Buyer
      shall give prompt notice and details to Seller (by telephone to Seller's office)
      of (i) the EPA’s or state agency’s taking a sample of any Product at any Buyer’s
      Outlet to test for compliance with the Regulations and (ii) receipt of any
      test
      results from any such sampling.

     

    (8)  
      Buyer
      shall give prompt notice and details to Seller (by telephone to Seller's office,
      followed by formal notice) of any circumstance or occurrence at a Buyer's Outlet
      which reasonably could cause Buyer's Products or dispensing equipment to not
      be
      in compliance with the Regulations. Upon discovery of any such condition the
      Products may not be sold, dispensed, or offered for sale until Seller and Buyer
      can mutually determine by sampling, testing, or other means whether the Product
      is in compliance and, if found to be not in compliance, take such further action
      as is necessary (including pump out) to restore the availability of a complying
      Product. The sampling, testing, or further action will be at Buyer’s expense if
      the cause of contamination was within the control of Buyer or the operator
      of
      Buyer’s Outlet.

     

    (9)  
      If
      the
      Laws relating to UST systems or those set forth in this exhibit are not complied
      with by Buyer or any operator of Buyer’s Outlets, based upon evidence
      satisfactory to Seller, Seller may, in addition to other rights or remedies
      available to Seller, suspend deliveries of the affected Products to
      Buyer.

     

    (10)  
      Buyer
      certifies that Buyer has read, understands, and is fully informed of the
      relevant Regulations pertaining to the Products, and Buyer shall fully comply
      with the provisions thereof whether or not such other obligations are referred
      to or restated in this Agreement.

    EXHIBIT
      B

    

    RETAILER
      (BUYER) INVENTORY CONTROL PROGRAM

    

    This
      is
      to advise you of ARIZONA FUEL DISTRIBUTOR’S (hereafter referred to as Seller)
      comprehensive environmental program and to establish current standards for
      maintaining and monitoring retailer inventory control at your station and for
      protecting you financially against product loss from tank leaks.

     

    Product
      Loss Implications

    

    Federal,
      state and local laws regarding water and ground pollution, as well as the
      increased interest of the public and the news media in any type of pollution,
      make it necessary that Seller and Buyer exert every reasonable effort to prevent
      product leaks and spills at their facilities. Furthermore, the potential impact
      of a product loss is staggering: businesses, homes, and schools could be shut
      down; recreational areas can be affected; and drinking water might be
      contaminated. In addition, fines and penalties can range up to $10,000 per
      tank
      per day and the costs for product recovery and claim settlements can run into
      millions of dollars. The consequences should not be taken lightly by any of
      us.

    

    Seller's
      Comprehensive Environmental Program

     

    Accordingly,
      Seller has developed and committed itself to a comprehensive environmental
      control program aimed at minimizing the risk of product loss. The program
      addresses equipment and installation standards, as well as on-going monitoring,
      leak detection, record keeping and reporting requirements. Our efforts, however,
      cannot solve this problem without your commitment to maintain methodical daily
      inventory control, including daily
      reconciliation of physical inventory readings with sales records
      and
      delivery receipts, and
      immediate reporting of evidence or suspicion of leaks
      so that
      appropriate remedial action can be taken. You must also use one or a combination
      of the following monthly
      leak detection methods:
      automatic tank gauging, monitoring of soil vapors or liquids in ground water;
      interstitial monitoring (between tank and secondary barrier); or any other
      method that meets the requirements of 40 C.F.R. S 280.43. Because of the grave
      consequences that can result from an underground tank leak, we invite your
      attention to and emphasize the importance of your contractual obligation in
      this
      matter and advise you of our intent to monitor the integrity of the underground
      storage facilities by periodically performing a review of your inventory control
      records and procedures, including, if necessary, a physical inventory. This
      is
      being done so that you may limit the effects of any tank leaks which might
      be
      discovered. However, your daily actions will be the backbone of an effective
      leak prevention program.

    

    For
      your
      protection you should fully comply with existing laws and regulations, you
      must,
      at a minimum, ensure that the following inventory control procedures are adhered
      to.

     

    
      
        	 	
                1.

              	
                Check
                  the underground storage tanks daily for leakage and
                  water.

              

      

    

    
      	 	
              2.

            	
              Check
                the underground storage system monthly for leakage by using one of
                the
                required leak detection methods mentioned
                earlier.

            

    

    
      	 	
              3.

            	
              Observe
                all motor fuel deliveries to ensure that there are no overspills
                or that
                spills are immediately detected and reported to
                Seller.

            

    

    
      	 	
              4.

            	
              Maintain
                regular inventory control records in accordance with Seller's
                recommendations.

            

    

    

    Procedures
      for Product Deliveries

    

    Your
      maintenance of the daily and monthly inventory systems, as discussed above,
      will
      help protect you against any costly product losses and reduce the risks of
      injury to persons and property, imposition of fines, etc., which can result
      from
      an undetected leak. In addition, you must ensure that the following procedures
      are adhered to for all motor fuel deliveries:

    
      

      
        	 	
                1.

              	
                Gauge
                  tanks prior to deliveries to ensure that there is available storage
                  capacity for the amount of product to be
                  delivered.

              

      

      
        	 	
                2.

              	
                Take
                  and record stick readings just prior to and immediately after each
                  delivery. In the case of manifold tanks, sufficient time should
                  be allowed
                  for product equalization.

              

      

    

    
      	 	
              3.

            	
              
                Constantly
                  watch all deliveries of product to ensure that the tank can hold
                  the
                  product and that no overfill
                  results.

              

            

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        18

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    Procedures
      to Follow Upon Discovery of Suspicion of Product Loss or Related
      Claims

    

    Upon
      receiving any notification from you of any suspected or actual spill or product
      loss, we will immediately assist you in investigating, correcting and/or
      reporting the problem to the proper authorities. Furthermore, you should notify
      us immediately of any claim or threatened claim related to such spill or product
      loss, or of any newly discovered fact related to such spill or product loss.
      Additionally, you should adhere to the following procedures.

    

    
      	 	
              1.

            	
              After
                immediate telephone notification to us, promptly send written confirmation
                notifying us of the product loss attributed to a delivery of
                fuel.

            

    

    
      
        	 	
                2.

              	
                Make
                  your inventory control records immediately available for our inspection
                  and  review.

              

      

      
        	 	
                3.

              	
                Confirm
                  that all fill caps are kept
                  locked.

              

      

    

    
      	 	
              4.

            	
              Check
                that all pump/dispenser computer weights and measures seals are intact
                and
                repair any suspect seals.

            

    

    
      	 	
              5.

            	
              Refuse
                further product deliveries until equipment is investigated and found
                to be
                safe to receive motor fuel.

            

    

    

    Inspection/Retention
      of Records

    

    At
      various intervals, you should inspect your records relating to daily and monthly

      or plural:

    

    (a)  
      “Business
      Entity” - Any legal entity that is not an individual or sole proprietorship,
      including, without limitation, a partnership, corporation, limited liability
      company, limited liability partnership, or association.

    

    (b)  
      “Buyer’s
      Marketing Premises” - Buyer’s premises, including, but not limited to, Buyer’s

      - The trademarks, trade dress, service marks, and color schemes relating to

      - The gasoline and diesel fuel sold to Buyer by Seller for resale under the

    2.    PURCHASE
      AND SALE OF PRODUCTS.

    

    (a)  
      Subject
      to Articles 18 and 19, Seller shall sell and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall
      purchase and accept from Seller, the minimum quantities of Products identified
      in Exhibit A during each month and year during the term of this Agreement
      (“Minimum Quantities”). Buyer acknowledges that the Minimum Quantities are
      necessary and reasonable for, among other reasons, Seller to plan its supply
      operations and, as such, are of material and reasonable significance to the
      franchise relationship. Buyer also acknowledges that Seller has established
      minimum volume levels for gasoline (“Base Volume”) to be resold through Buyer’s
      Outlets for its customers in order to retain a Wholesale Marketer Agreement.
      Accordingly, in no event may Buyer’s Minimum Quantities be less than the
      following Base Volume:

     

    If
      the
      Minimum Quantities are less than the minimum Base Volume, the Minimum Quantities
      are deemed amended to be the same as the minimum Base Volume; and the Maximum
      Quantities will be proportionately increased. If Buyer fails to purchase this
      minimum Base Volume, Seller may take such action as Seller deems appropriate,
      including, without limitation, terminating or not renewing this
      Agreement.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (b)  
      Seller
      may, but will not be obligated to, sell Buyer more than the “Maximum Quantities”
identified in Exhibit A. Seller’s exercise of its right to do so will not
      obligate Seller to continue to sell Buyer such excess quantities.

    

    (c)  
      To
      the
      extent practicable, Buyer shall take delivery of all Products on a ratable
      basis. 

    

    (d)  
      If
      Buyer
      fails to purchase and accept the Minimum Quantities in any 12-month period,
      Seller may unilaterally downward adjust the Minimum/Maximum Quantities each
      succeeding 12-month period by the difference between the annual Minimum
      Quantities and the amount actually purchased for that 12-month period. In
      addition, Buyer may request that Seller downward adjust Buyer’s Minimum/Maximum
      Quantities if the need for the downward adjustment is due to a reason beyond
      Buyer’s reasonable control. If Seller agrees that the reason is beyond Buyer’s
      reasonable control, Seller shall downward adjust the Minimum/Maximum Quantities
      each succeeding 12-month period by the difference between the annual Minimum
      Quantities and the amount actually purchased for that 12-month period. Likewise,
      if Buyer purchases more than the Minimum Quantities, Buyer may request that
      Seller upward adjust Buyer’s Minimum/Maximum Quantities. If Seller agrees, the
      Minimum/Maximum Quantities will be upward adjusted for each succeeding 12-month
      period.

    

    (e)  
      If
      the
      term of this Agreement commences at any time after January 1st of any year
      during the term of this Agreement, Buyer must purchase and accept the Minimum
      Quantities during the remaining months of that 12-month period, but Seller's
      rights and remedies set forth in Articles 2(a) and (d) above will not commence
      until the next full 12-month period.

    

    (f)  
      If
      Buyer
      terminates this Agreement prior to the expiration of its term or if Seller
      terminates this Agreement for cause in accordance with the PMPA or applicable
      Law, Seller will be entitled to all remedies available at Law or in equity.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer terminates this Agreement and Buyer’s
      Outlets remain branded under the Identifications, Seller may waive its remedies
      pursuant to this article.

    

    3.    PRICES
      AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

    

    (a)  
      PRICES:
      For Gasoline and Diesel Fuel: Seller’s price to retailer in effect at time of
      delivery.

    

    (b)

    (c)  
      Seller
      may charge Buyer interest, at a reasonable lawful rate per annum, on all overdue
      sums owed to Seller. Further, if Buyer fails to make timely payment of any
      amount due Seller, in addition to all other rights or remedies available, Seller
      may take such action as Seller deems reasonable under the circumstances. Without
      limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller may setoff or equitably recoup
      against any amount then due Buyer, defer further deliveries of the Products
      until payment of all outstanding indebtedness is made, and demand advance cash
      payment for further deliveries. Buyer shall comply with the terms of any
      commercially acceptable reclamation notice issued to Buyer by Seller under
      applicable Law.

    

    4.    TERM.
      The term
      of this Agreement is ten years subject to the Seller’s right to terminate or not
      renew this Agreement in accordance with applicable law. Upon expiration, this
      Agreement will continue on a month-to-month basis until the parties execute
      a
      new agreement or Seller terminates or does not renew this Agreement in
      accordance with applicable law. The term begins on the date of the first
      delivery of Shell gasoline.

      TO USE THE IDENTIFICATIONS.

      important property right and are essential to the goodwill and reputation of
      the
      Products. Buyer further acknowledges Seller’s interest in the Identifications
      and Buyer shall not claim any right to or title or interest
      thereto.

    

    (b)  
      Buyer
      must obtain Seller’s prior written authorization to use and display, or permit
      the use and display of, the Identifications at any retail outlet.

      Agreement.

    

    (b)

    7.    BRAND
      IDENTIFICATION AND MINIMUM STANDARDS.
      Buyer
      acknowledges that the Identifications represent to the motoring public the
      manufacture and sale of quality Products. Buyer shall undertake no action of
      any
      kind that may harm or degrade the Identifications. Buyer further acknowledges
      that uniform standards of quality and appearance must be maintained at all
      retail outlets displaying the Identifications in order to properly market and
      sell the Products, preserve and promote the reputation of Seller, and achieve
      public acceptance of the Products. Accordingly, Buyer shall comply with, and
      cause the operators of Buyer’s Outlets to comply with, all standards of
      operation and appearance established from time to time by Seller, including,
      without limitation, the following minimum obligations; provided, however, the
      means and the manner of performance are within the sole discretion of
      Buyer:

      Buyer
      shall comply with the Retail Visual Identity Design Standards and Conversion
      guidelines (“Image Guidelines”) as may be amended by Seller or Shell from time

      Buyer written notice.

      maintain, and cause the operators of Buyer’s Outlets to maintain, Buyer’s
      Outlets in accordance with the Brand Standards, as may be amended by Seller
      or
      SHELL from time to time. If Seller or SHELL amends the Brand Standards, Seller

      deliveries of the Products to Buyer without liability and may allocate Seller’s
      supply of the Products among its customers and classes of customers which in
      Seller’s judgment is fair and reasonable under the circumstances. After
      cessation of any period
      of

    (c)  
      Buyer
      shall assure that the Insurance required in this article and each certificate
      evidencing the Insurance issued to Buyer names Seller and its members,
      subsidiaries, affiliates and joint venture partners, to the extent of their
      interest, as additional insureds (Article 21(a)(1) and (2) as applicable),
      without regard to the allocation of liability provisions contained in this
      Agreement, to the extent of any claim, loss or liability within the scope of
      the
      required Insurance. The parties intend that, to the extent of their interest,

      Buyer
      shall provide Seller with a certificate of Insurance evidencing Buyer’s
      compliance with Seller’s Insurance Requirements. Buyer’s failure to provide
      certificates evidencing the Insurance requirements or purchase Insurance
      coverage in compliance with this article will not relieve Buyer of its
      obligations in this article.

    

    22.   ASSIGNMENTS.

    

    (a)  
      Assignment
      by Buyer.
      This
      Agreement is personal to Buyer. Buyer may not sell, transfer, assign, or
      encumber any of its interest under this Agreement, or assign any claim against
      Seller arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with this
      Agreement, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by
      operation of Law (collectively, “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of
      Seller, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Seller will have 30
      days (or any lesser period specified by Law) after receipt of Buyer’s request
      for Seller’s consent and all qualification information reasonably required by
      Seller to provide Buyer with written notice of its decision to grant or withhold
      consent. Seller’s consent to any Transfer is not a waiver of the provisions of
      this article as to any future transaction. Any Transfer by Buyer without
      Seller’s prior written consent is void.

    

    (b)  
      Successor
      in Interest.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer or the person currently in “control” of
      the ownership interest of Buyer (“control” being the authority to direct the
      operations of Buyer and to have or exercise management responsibility) dies
      or
      suffers severe physical or mental disability of at least 3 months which renders
      Buyer unable to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or if
      Buyer
      seeks to Transfer any of its interest in this Agreement for estate planning
      purposes, Seller consents to the Transfer of this Agreement, in whole or in
      part, to a qualified member of the individual's immediate family. For the
      purposes of this article a “qualified member” includes the individual's spouse,
      adult child, parent, brother and sister who is acceptable to Seller under
      Seller’s current Transfer guidelines.

    

    (c)  
      Transfer
      Events.
      Without
      limiting the foregoing, the following events constitute a Transfer:

     

    (1)

    (3)  
      A
      writ of
      attachment or execution is levied on this Agreement and is not removed by Buyer
      within 30 days;

     

    (4)  
      A
      receiver is appointed with authority to take over Buyer’s interest in this

      which
      Buyer is a party;

     

    (5)  
      If
      Buyer
      is a partnership or a limited liability partnership, a withdrawal or any change
      of interest (voluntary, involuntary or by operation of Law) of any partner
      or
      the dissolution of the partnership; provided, however, a Transfer of interests
      between existing partner is not a Transfer requiring Seller’s prior
      consent;

     

    (6)  
      If
      Buyer
      is a limited liability company or a corporation, any dissolution, merger,

      effect, or the Transfer by Buyer or any member or shareholder with a controlling
      interest or more of the voting shares of the capital stock of Buyer or of any
      lesser interest which cumulatively vests a controlling interest of such voting
      shares in the transferee; provided, however, if Buyer Transfers more than 25%
      of
      the interest in any one year or more than 49% of the interest over the term
      of
      this Agreement, Buyer must obtain Seller’s consent in accordance with Article
      22(a) above; and 

     

    (7)  
      If
      Buyer
      is composed of more than one person, any change of interest (voluntary,
      involuntary or by operation of Law) of any such person.

    

    (d)  
      Notice
      of Pending Sale.
      If
      Buyer formalizes a plan to sell, or receives a proposal or offer to purchase,
      Buyer’s business, Buyer’s Marketing Premises, or any Buyer’s Outlet, Buyer shall
      provide Seller or its designee with the necessary information relating to the
      proposed purchase or sale to afford Seller an opportunity to negotiate an
      agreement with Buyer to purchase the business or assets. Upon receipt of the
      notice, the parties shall execute a mutually acceptable confidentiality
      agreement pertaining to the sale and Seller will have a maximum of 30 days
      to
      make Buyer an offer to purchase; provided, however Seller shall make a
      reasonable effort to respond to Buyer in less time. Buyer shall consider, but
      will not be obligated to accept, any purchase offer made by Seller.

    

    (e)  
      Assignment
      by Seller.
      Seller
      may transfer its interest, in whole or in part, in this Agreement.

    

    23.   DE-IDENTIFICATION

      action is not taken that is required or contemplated by this Agreement, or
      the
      operations at a Buyer’s Outlet are otherwise not conducted in accordance with
      this Agreement, Seller may revoke the permission Seller granted to use the
      Identifications at that Buyer’s Outlet by giving written notice to Buyer.
      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Buyer’s Outlet is
      abandoned, not operated, is no longer supplied by Buyer, or if a sufficient
      amount of all grades of Seller’s branded gasoline or, if applicable, branded
      diesel fuel is not maintained at a Buyer’s Outlet for 7 consecutive days, or
      such lesser period which under the facts and circumstances constitutes an
      unreasonable period of time, Buyer must notify Seller, immediately de-identify
      the outlet, and then notify Seller of the de-identification.

    

    (b)  
      Promptly
      after receiving notice from Seller as specified in Article 23(a) above, Buyer
      shall take all steps necessary and appropriate to cease the marketing and
      selling of Products, and otherwise using the Identifications, at the Buyer’s
      Outlet. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at Buyer’s expense,
      Buyer shall, or shall cause the operator of Buyer’s Outlet to: (1) remove, and
      if requested by Seller return, all signs or materials bearing any of the

      AND DUTIES UPON TERMINATION OR NONRENEWAL.

     

    (a)  
      Upon

      marketing and selling the Products and otherwise using the Identifications
      or
      any marks confusingly similar thereto. Without limiting the generality of the

      fails for any reason to cease marketing and selling the Products or otherwise
      using any of the Identifications immediately upon the Effective Date of

      the Buyer’s Outlets operated by Buyer to carry out Buyer’s obligations under
      Article 25(a) above, at Buyer’s expense. Buyer shall not interfere, and will not
      permit any of its employees, agents or representatives to interfere, with
      Seller’s rights under this article. Seller’s exercise of its right of entry will
      not constitute a trespass or other tort.

      Buyer
      fails for any reason to cease marketing and selling Products or otherwise using
      any of the Identifications immediately upon the Effective Date of termination

    26.   INDEPENDENT
      CONTRACTOR.
      Buyer is
      an independent businessperson, and nothing in this Agreement may be construed
      as
      reserving to Seller any right to exercise any control over, or to direct in
      any
      respect the conduct or management of, Buyer’s business or operations conducted
      pursuant to this Agreement, but the entire control and direction of such
      business and operations are and will remain in Buyer, subject only to Buyer’s
      performance of the obligations of this Agreement. Neither Buyer nor any person
      performing any duties or engaged in any work at the Buyer’s Outlets will be
      deemed an employee or agent of Seller, and none of them is authorized to impose
      on Seller any obligations or liability whatsoever.

    

    27.   BUSINESS
      ENTITY OR JOINT BUYER.

    

    (a)  
      If
      Buyer
      is comprised of more than one person, the obligations imposed under this
      Agreement are joint and several as to each person and all of the terms apply
      to
      each person with the same effect as though that person were the sole
      Buyer.

    

    (b)  
      If
      Buyer
      is a Business Entity, all obligations and provisions of this Agreement of a
      personal nature apply as if the Business Entity were an individual and, insofar
      as is legally possible and reasonably practicable, to those individuals who
      have
      or exercise management responsibility for the Business Entity, including,
      without limitation, officers, directors or agents of corporations and partners
      of partnerships. The Business Entity must manage its affairs with respect to
      the
      personal obligations and provisions in a manner so as to give full force and
      effect to the same.

    

    28.   NOTICES.

    

    (a)  
      Except
      as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all notices must be in writing and
      in
      compliance with the PMPA and other applicable Law.
      Subject
      to any requirements of Law, any notice (including price notifications) may
      be
      given to Buyer by personal service or by electronic mail or to either party
      only
      by certified mail. Notice will be deemed given based upon the date of the
      notice.

    

    (b)

      Buyer
      is a Business Entity, Seller may give notice to: (1) any officer or director
      of
      a corporation or limited liability company; (2) any partner of a partnership
      or
      limited liability partnership; or (3) any personal representative, agent, or
      employee of any other Business Entity.

    

    29.   ATTORNEY’S
      FEES.
      Seller
      or Buyer, as the case may be, will be entitled to recover from the other party
      reasonable attorney’s fees and other legal costs the prevailing party incurs in
      order to secure or protect the rights inuring to the prevailing party under
      this
      Agreement, or to enforce the terms thereof.

    

    30.   AMORTIZATION
      OF BRANDING COSTS. Buyer understands and acknowledges that Seller expended
      a
      certain amount of money to brand this location with the Shell brand. These
      funds
      were spent with the understanding that this agreement would remain in place
      for
      the full ten year period. Should Buyer wish to terminate this agreement prior
      to
      its expiration, then Buyer agrees to reimburse Seller for the unamortized
      portion of these funds. It is hereby agreed that the funds will amortize at
      the
      rate of 1/120 of the total amount spent each month that the agreement is in
      place. In addition to repaying the unamortized amount to the Seller, Buyer
      also
      agrees to reimburse the Seller for his expenses to de-brand the site to remove
      all signs of the Shell brand.

    

    31.   GENERAL
      PROVISIONS.

    

    (a)  
      This
      Agreement as of the Effective Date hereof cancels and supersedes all prior
      and
      contemporaneous representations, inducements, agreements, commitments, and
      undertakings with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except those
      written agreements relating to any indemnification, reimbursement, indebtedness,
      or debt security obligations (including, but not limited to, any security
      interest, security agreement, guaranty, mortgage, deed of trust, promissory
      note, or UCC filing).

    

    (b)  
      Except
      as
      expressly provided under this Agreement, all amendments and supplements to
      this
      Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (c)  
      Any
      waiver of any provision of this Agreement must be in writing signed by the
      parties. Either party’s delay or failure to enforce any provision of this
      Agreement or any course of dealing or trade custom or usage will not operate
      as
      a waiver of compliance with that provision or a waiver or estoppel of the
      party’s right to enforce any other provision of this Agreement.

    

    (d)  
      The
      provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any provision of this Agreement
      is, for any reason, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this
      Agreement are valid and enforceable if the basic intent of the parties is still
      capable of being achieved.

    

    (e)  
      This
      Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against the parties’ respective
      successors, permitted assignees, legal representatives, executors,
      administrators, heirs, and legatees.

    

    (f)  
      Neither
      this Agreement nor any subsequent agreement amending or supplementing this
      Agreement is binding unless a duly authorized representative of the parties
      signs the Agreement, amendment, or supplement.

    ENVIRONMENTAL
      REGULATION

    SUPPLEMENT

    

    Buyer
      shall strictly comply with the regulations of the Environmental Protection
      Agency ("EPA") promulgated as Part 80 - REGULATION OF FUELS AND FUEL ADDITIVES,
      of Chapter I, Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations ("C.F.R."), and with any
      applicable state regulations covering the Products, as amended from time to
      time
      (the "Regulations"), including, but not limited to, those obligations set forth
      below. "Gasoline," “Diesel Fuel,” and other terms used in this exhibit have the
      same meanings as defined in the Regulations. With respect to the Buyers’
Outlets, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:

    

    (a)  
      Seller's
      Responsibilities. Seller may:

     

    (1)  
      Continuing
      for the period as Seller, in Seller’s sole judgment, deems appropriate, take
      periodic samples from the Product dispenser(s) at Buyer’s Outlets or from other
      buyers supplied from the same Plant and test such samples to determine whether
      the Products are in compliance with the Regulations. Any such sampling and
      testing will not relieve Buyer of any obligation Buyer has under the Agreement
      or by Law to sell, dispense and offer for sale only Products complying with
      the
      Regulations.

     

    (2)  
      Give
      prompt notice and details to Buyer (by telephone, followed by formal notice)
      if
      any test performed under (1) above, or through other circumstances known to
      Seller, indicates that the Product inventory at a Buyer’s Outlet is not in
      compliance with the Regulations. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any
      further action taken that is necessary (including pump out) to restore the
      availability of complying Products. The costs of any such further action,
      including further sampling and testing, will be at Buyer's expense if the cause
      of contamination was within Buyer's control.

    

    (b)  
      Buyer's
      Responsibilities.

     

    (1)  
      No
      unleaded Seller-branded gasoline may be mixed with any gasoline containing
      lead
      anti-knock agents. Unleaded Seller-branded gasoline may not be sold as any
      unleaded Seller-branded gasoline that is mixed with lead anti-knock
      agents.

     

    (2)  
      No
      leaded
      gasoline (i.e. gasoline containing unlawful amounts of lead or phosphorus)
      will
      be introduced into any motor vehicle which is labeled "UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY"
      or which is equipped with a gasoline tank filler inlet which is designed for
      the
      introduction of unleaded gasoline only.

     

    (3)  
      Gasoline
      may not be sold, offered for sale, supplied, dispensed, offered for supply,
      transported, or be caused to be transported, in which the Reid Vapor Pressure
      exceeds the legally applicable standard or where the oxygen content is below
      the
      legally applicable standard. Buyer shall not sell, offer for sale, dispense,
      supply, offer for supply, or transport reformulated gasoline which is below
      the
      legally applicable standard under the Law for the geographical area and time
      period in which such gasoline is intended to be dispensed to motor
      vehicles.

     

    (4)  
      Diesel
      fuel for use in motor vehicles may not be sold, offered for sale, supplied,
      dispensed, offered for supply, transported, or be caused to be transported,
      unless the diesel fuel (i) has a sulfur percentage, by weight, no greater than
      0.05 percent, (ii) has a cetane index of at least 40, or a maximum aromatic
      content of 35 volume percent, (iii) is free of visible evidence of the dye
      1,4-dialkylamino-anthraquinone and (iv) is free of visible evidence of the
      dye
      solvent red 164 unless it is used in a manner that is tax-exempt as defined
      under section 4082 of the Internal Revenue Code.

     

    (5)  
      Gasoline
      may not be sold, offered for sale, supplied, offered for supply, transported,
      or
      be caused to be transported, unless such gasoline is additized in accordance
      with the requirements of 40 C.F.R. section 80.161, as may be amended from time
      to time.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        16

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (6)  
      An
      oversight compliance program must be established and enforced to assure that
      Buyer and the operators of Buyer, and their respective employees or agents,
      or
      third parties (including the employees, agents or contractors of Seller) will
      not cause, allow, or permit the gasoline or diesel to not be in compliance
      with
      the Regulations or become contaminated with any other gasoline or diesel fuel
      product or foreign substance, at any time after delivery by or for Seller to
      Buyer. The oversight program should include periodic sampling and testing of
      the
      Product inventory; securing the manhole covers, fill line caps and dispensers
      to
      avoid authorized entry or use; and supervising and instructing those employees
      and others having access to the gasoline or diesel fuel system regarding proper
      procedures to prevent the Products from becoming non-compliant with the
      Regulations and to prevent contamination of the Products.

     

    (7)  
      Buyer
      shall give prompt notice and details to Seller (by telephone to Seller's office)
      of (i) the EPA’s or state agency’s taking a sample of any Product at any Buyer’s
      Outlet to test for compliance with the Regulations and (ii) receipt of any
      test
      results from any such sampling.

     

    (8)  
      Buyer
      shall give prompt notice and details to Seller (by telephone to Seller's office,
      followed by formal notice) of any circumstance or occurrence at a Buyer's Outlet
      which reasonably could cause Buyer's Products or dispensing equipment to not
      be
      in compliance with the Regulations. Upon discovery of any such condition the
      Products may not be sold, dispensed, or offered for sale until Seller and Buyer
      can mutually determine by sampling, testing, or other means whether the Product
      is in compliance and, if found to be not in compliance, take such further action
      as is necessary (including pump out) to restore the availability of a complying
      Product. The sampling, testing, or further action will be at Buyer’s expense if
      the cause of contamination was within the control of Buyer or the operator
      of
      Buyer’s Outlet.

     

    (9)  
      If
      the
      Laws relating to UST systems or those set forth in this exhibit are not complied
      with by Buyer or any operator of Buyer’s Outlets, based upon evidence
      satisfactory to Seller, Seller may, in addition to other rights or remedies
      available to Seller, suspend deliveries of the affected Products to
      Buyer.

     

    (10)  Buyer
      certifies that Buyer has read, understands, and is fully informed of the
      relevant Regulations pertaining to the Products, and Buyer shall fully comply
      with the provisions thereof whether or not such other obligations are referred
      to or restated in this Agreement.

    RETAILER
      (BUYER) INVENTORY CONTROL PROGRAM

    

    This
      is
      to advise you of ARIZONA FUEL DISTRIBUTOR’S (hereafter referred to as Seller)
      comprehensive environmental program and to establish current standards for
      maintaining and monitoring retailer inventory control at your station and for
      protecting you financially against product loss from tank leaks.

     

    Product
      Loss Implications

    

    Federal,
      state and local laws regarding water and ground pollution, as well as the
      increased interest of the public and the news media in any type of pollution,
      make it necessary that Seller and Buyer exert every reasonable effort to prevent
      product leaks and spills at their facilities. Furthermore, the potential impact
      of a product loss is staggering: businesses, homes, and schools could be shut
      down; recreational areas can be affected; and drinking water might be
      contaminated. In addition, fines and penalties can range up to $10,000 per
      tank
      per day and the costs for product recovery and claim settlements can run into
      millions of dollars. The consequences should not be taken lightly by any of
      us.

    

    Seller's
      Comprehensive Environmental Program

     

    Accordingly,
      Seller has developed and committed itself to a comprehensive environmental
      control program aimed at minimizing the risk of product loss. The program
      addresses equipment and installation standards, as well as on-going monitoring,
      leak detection, record keeping and reporting requirements. Our efforts, however,
      cannot solve this problem without your commitment to maintain methodical daily
      inventory control, including daily
      reconciliation of physical inventory readings with sales records
      and
      delivery receipts, and
      immediate reporting of evidence or suspicion of leaks
      so that
      appropriate remedial action can be taken. You must also use one or a combination
      of the following monthly
      leak detection methods,
      automatic tank gauging, monitoring of soil vapors or liquids in ground water;
      interstitial monitoring (between tank and secondary barrier); or any other
      method that meets the requirements of 40 C.F.R. S 280.43. Because of the grave
      consequences that can result from an underground tank leak, we invite your
      attention to and emphasize the importance of your contractual obligation in
      this
      matter and advise you of our intent to monitor the integrity of the underground
      storage facilities by periodically performing a review of your inventory control
      records and procedures, including, if necessary, a physical inventory. This
      is
      being done so that you may limit the effects of any tank leaks which might
      be
      discovered. However, your daily actions will be the backbone of an effective
      leak prevention program.

    

    For
      your
      protection you should fully comply with existing laws and regulations, you
      must,
      at a minimum, ensure that the following inventory control procedures are adhered
      to.

    
       

      
        
          	 	
                  1.

                	
                  Check
                    the underground storage tanks daily for leakage and
                    water.

                

        

      

      
        	 	
                2.

              	
                Check
                  the underground storage system monthly for leakage by using one
                  of the
                  required leak detection methods mentioned
                  earlier.

              

      

      
        	 	
                3.

              	
                Observe
                  all motor fuel deliveries to ensure that there are no overspills
                  or that
                  spills are immediately detected and reported to
                  Seller.

              

      

      
        	 	
                4.

              	
                Maintain
                  regular inventory control records in accordance with Seller's
                  recommendations.

              

      

       

      Procedures
        for Product Deliveries

    

    

    Your
      maintenance of the daily and monthly inventory systems, as discussed above,
      will
      help protect you against any costly product losses and reduce the risks of
      injury to persons and property, imposition of fines, etc., which can result
      from
      an undetected leak. In addition, you must ensure that the following procedures
      are adhered to for all motor fuel deliveries:

    

    
      	 	
              1.

            	
              Gauge
                tanks prior to deliveries to ensure that there is available storage
                capacity for the amount of product to be
                delivered.

            

    

    
      	 	
              2.

            	
              Take
                and record stick readings just prior to and immediately after each
                delivery. In the case of manifold tanks, sufficient time should be
                allowed
                for product equalization.
