Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 12, 2018, HollyFrontier LSP Holdings LLC (the “Purchaser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of HollyFrontier Corporation (“HollyFrontier”), entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) with Sonneborn Holdings, L.P. and Sonneborn Co-Op LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”) pursuant to which the Purchaser will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Sonneborn US Holdings Inc. and 100% of the membership rights in Sonneborn Coöperatief U.A. (collectively, “Sonneborn”), for cash consideration of $655 million, including working capital with an estimated value of $72 million (the “Acquisition”).

The purchase price for the Acquisition is subject to customary adjustments at closing for working capital of Sonneborn. The Acquisition is expected to close in 2019, subject to customary closing conditions and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, including the termination or expiration of any waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended and authorizations under the applicable competition laws of Germany and the United Kingdom.

The Equity Purchase Agreement provides for customary representations and warranties, covenants and termination rights, including a termination right for each of the Purchaser and the Sellers if the closing does not occur by August 12, 2019 (the “Outside Date”), except that the Outside Date can be extended by either party by up to three 90 day periods to obtain required regulatory approvals. The Equity Purchase Agreement also provides for the payment of a $30 million termination fee by the Purchaser to the Sellers upon the termination of the Equity Purchase Agreement if either the Purchaser or the Sellers terminate the Equity Purchase Agreement prior to the closing of the Acquisition as a result of the failure to obtain regulatory approvals or a failure to close the Acquisition prior to the Outside Date.

HollyFrontier has guaranteed all payment and performance obligations of the Purchaser that relate to or arise under the Equity Purchase Agremeent.

The disclosure contained in this Item 1.01 does not purport to be a complete description of the Equity Purchase Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Equity Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

The Equity Purchase Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to this report to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the parties thereto or to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about HollyFrontier or its subsidiaries or its affiliates in their public reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Equity Purchase Agreement includes representations, warranties and covenants of the parties thereto made solely for purposes of the Equity Purchase Agreement and solely for the benefit of the parties to the Equity Purchase Agreement, and which may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with the negotiated terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties to the Equity Purchase Agreement or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to the SEC filings of the parties or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk among the parties to the Equity Purchase Agreement rather than establishing matters as facts.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 13, 2018, HollyFrontier issued a press release announcing the Acquisition and an investor presentation related to the Acquisition, copies of which are being furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively.

The information provided in this Item 7.01 and the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 shall not deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any filing made by HollyFrontier pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other than to the extent that such filing incorporates by reference any or all of such information by express reference thereto.

• risks and uncertainties with respect to the actions of actual or potential competitive suppliers and transporters of refined petroleum or lubricant products in HollyFrontier’s and Sonneborn’s markets;

(a)    Any reference in this Agreement to an “Article,” “Section,” “Exhibit” or “Schedule” refers to the corresponding Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule of or to this Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise. The table of contents and the headings of Articles and Sections are provided for convenience only and are not intended to affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. All words used in this Agreement are to be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require. The words “including,” “includes” or “include” are to be read as listing non-exclusive examples

13

of the matters referred to, whether or not words such as “without limitation” or “but not limited to” are used in each instance. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase will not mean simply “if.” The term “or” will not be deemed to be exclusive. The phrase “made available to” means disclosures posted in the electronic data room named “Project Silver” three Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement in expectation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Where this Agreement states that a party “shall,” “will” or “must” perform in some manner or otherwise act or omit to act, it means that the party is legally obligated to do so in accordance with this Agreement. The words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and “hereto” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires. Any reference to a statute is deemed also to refer to any amendments or successor legislation as in effect at the relevant time. Any reference to a Contract or other document as of a given date means the Contract or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time through such date. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all monetary values stated herein are expressed in United States currency and all references to “dollars” or “$” will be deemed references to the United States dollar. Where a monetary threshold stated in Article 5 or Section 7.2 is expressed in United States dollars, the threshold amount will where applicable be deemed to specify an equivalent amount of non-United States currency, determined based on the applicable currency exchange rate determined as of the date of this Agreement.

(b)    If and to the extent any information required to be furnished in any Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule is contained in this Agreement or in any other Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule such information shall be deemed to be included in all Sections of the Company Disclosure Schedule in which the information would otherwise be required to be included to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on its face that such disclosure is applicable to such other Section. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not be considered an admission by the disclosing party that such item or fact (or any non-disclosed item or information of comparable or greater significance) represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or that such item or fact will in fact exceed any applicable threshold limitation set forth in the Agreement and shall not be construed as an admission by the disclosing party of any non-compliance with, or violation of, any third party rights (including but not limited to any Intellectual Property rights) or any applicable Law, such disclosures having been made solely for the purposes of creating exceptions to the representations and warranties made herein or of disclosing any information required to be disclosed under the Agreement. The Company Disclosure Schedule and the information and disclosures contained therein are intended only to qualify and limit the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, and do not, except as expressly set forth in the representations and warranties (or covenants) which they qualify, constitute representations and warranties (or covenants) as to the matters described therein. Neither the Sellers, the Company, nor the Purchaser shall be prejudiced in any manner whatsoever, and no presumptions shall be created, by virtue of the disclosure of any matter in the Company Disclosure Schedule which otherwise is not required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

(e)    Within 30 days after delivery of the Adjustment Notice, the Sellers will either:

(i)    agree in writing with the Adjustment Notice, in which case the calculation of the Final Purchase Price set forth in the Adjustment Notice will be final and binding on the parties; or

Touche Tohmatsu Limited is unavailable or unwilling to serve, another firm mutually agreed upon by the parties (the “Accounting Firm”) the items remaining in dispute that were properly included in the Dispute Notice (the “Unresolved Items”); provided that if the Purchaser and the Sellers are unable to agree upon such firm within 10 days after the end of the Negotiation Period, then the Accounting Firm shall be an accounting or valuation firm of national standing appointed by the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York (provided that such firm shall not be the independent auditor of (or otherwise provide services under a contractual arrangement with) either the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) or the Sellers (or any of their Affiliates). The Sellers and the Purchaser will instruct the Accounting Firm to render its determination in a written report that specifies the conclusions of the Accounting Firm as to each Unresolved Item and the resulting calculation of the Final Purchase Price, in each case based solely on the written reports submitted to the Accounting Firm by the Sellers and the Purchaser and oral submissions by the Sellers and the Purchaser at meetings held in compliance with Section 2.2(f) (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions and other terms included herein; provided, that in resolving an Unresolved Item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party, in the written reports presented to the Accounting Firm. The Sellers and the Purchaser will each use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render its determination within 30 days after referral of the items to such firm or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable. The resolution of the Unresolved Items by the Accounting Firm will be final and binding, and the determination of the Accounting Firm will constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and nonappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The parties will revise the Closing Balance Sheet and the amounts included in the Adjustment Notice as appropriate to reflect the resolution of the items in dispute pursuant to this Section 2.2. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be shared by the Purchaser and the Sellers in inverse proportion to the relative amounts of the Unresolved Items determined to be for the account of the Purchaser and the Sellers, respectively. For example, if the Sellers submit a Dispute Notice for $1,000, the Purchaser contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Sellers, and the Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Sellers $300 of the contested amount, then the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300/500) to the Purchaser and 40% (i.e., 200/500) to the Sellers).

(f)    For purposes of complying with this Section 2.2, the Purchaser and the Sellers will furnish to each other and to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed items as the Accounting Firm may request and are available to that party (or its independent public accountants) and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the disputed items and to discuss the items with the Accounting Firm; provided that (i) each party will provide the other party with a copy of all materials provided to, and communications with, the Accounting Firm, and (ii) no party (or any of its Affiliates or representatives) will engage in any ex parte communication with the Accounting Firm at any time with respect to the Unresolved Items.

(g)    The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Balance Sheet and any estimates, determinations and calculations contained therein or based thereon will be prepared and calculated on a consolidated basis for the Acquired Companies in accordance with the Accounting Rules, except that such estimates, determinations and calculations (i) will not include any purchase accounting or other adjustment arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) will be based on facts and circumstances as they exist immediately prior to the Closing and will exclude the effect of any act, decision or event occurring on or after the Closing, (iii) will follow the defined terms contained in this Agreement and the Accounting Rules regardless of whether such terms or the Accounting Rules are consistent with GAAP, and (iv) will be set forth in United States dollars after any applicable portion thereof denominated in a currency other than United States dollars has been converted to United States dollars at the foreign exchange reference rate with respect to such currency set forth in Schedule 1.1(a).

(h)    Within five Business Days following the determination of the Final Purchase Price in accordance with this Section 2.2:

(i)    If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then the Sellers will pay, or cause to be paid, to the Purchaser an amount equal to the absolute amount of such difference first by causing such amount to be distributed to the Purchaser from the Adjustment Escrow Fund and, if the absolute amount of such difference exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Amount, paying to the Purchaser the amount of such excess. The foregoing payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts specified by the Purchaser at least five Business Days prior to the payment.

(ii)    If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then the Purchaser will pay to the Sellers an aggregate amount equal to such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts specified by the Sellers at least two Business Days prior to the payment.

(iii)    If there is any amount remaining in the Escrow Adjustment Account after the payment of amounts in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Purchaser shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay such amounts to the Sellers in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

Any amount paid with respect to final adjustments to the Purchase Price made pursuant to this Section 2.2 will be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the receiving party. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.2 will be treated by the parties for all purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price and will not be subject to offset for any reason.

Section 2.3    Withholding. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, the Purchaser is permitted to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any applicable provision of Tax Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. In the event the Purchaser determines that an amount is required to be deducted and withheld with respect to any amount payable or otherwise deliverable under this Agreement (excluding any amount required to be withheld as a result of the failure to deliver the applicable FIRPTA Certificate), then the Purchaser will notify the Sellers at least 20 Business Days prior to the date the applicable payment is scheduled to be made (which notification will include a copy of the calculation of the amount expected to be deducted and withheld) so that the Sellers have a reasonable opportunity to provide forms or other evidence that would exempt such amounts from deduction and withholding, and the Purchaser will cooperate with the Sellers to secure any applicable exemptions or reductions to withholding Taxes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 2.4    Tax Treatment and Purchase Price Allocation.

(a)    Within 120 days after the final determination of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2, the Purchaser will prepare and deliver to the Sellers a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price (together with other relevant amounts, including Liabilities deemed assumed for U.S. federal income tax purposes), among the Dutch Parent Company and the U.S. Parent Company (and further among the assets

17

held by the Dutch Parent Company) based on an estimate of the fair market values of the Acquired Companies in accordance with applicable Tax Law (together, the “Estimated Allocation”). If the Sellers do not deliver within 30 days after receipt of the Estimated Allocation a written notice setting forth in reasonable detail any revisions to the Estimated Allocation proposed by the Sellers (an “Allocation Notice”), the Estimated Allocation will be deemed the “Final Allocation” for all purposes hereunder. Prior to the end of such 30-day period, the Sellers may accept the Estimated Allocation by delivering written notice to that effect to the Purchaser, in which case the Estimated Allocation will be deemed the “Final Allocation” for all purposes hereunder when such notice is given. If the Sellers deliver an Allocation Notice within such 30-day period, the Purchaser and Sellers will negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute within 45 days after the delivery of the Estimated Allocation. If the Purchaser and the Sellers resolve all such disputes concerning the Estimated Allocation within 45 days after its delivery, the Estimated Allocation, as amended to reflect such resolution, shall become binding upon the Purchaser and the Sellers and will be the “Final Allocation.” If the Purchaser and the Sellers cannot agree on the Final Allocation within 45 days after delivery of the Estimated Allocation, all then remaining disputed items shall be submitted for resolution by an independent appraisal firm mutually selected by the Purchaser and the Sellers. The Purchaser and the Sellers shall each request that the independent appraisal firm make a final determination as to the disputed items within 30 days after such submission. The Estimated Allocation shall be amended in accordance with the findings of such independent appraisal firm, and the Estimated Allocation, as so amended, shall become binding upon the Purchaser and the Sellers and shall be the Final Allocation. The fees, costs, and expenses of the independent appraisal firm shall be borne equally by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand.

(b)     The Final Allocation shall be amended (with the mutual agreement of the parties) to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase Price under this Agreement and any other adjustments mutually agreed to between the Purchaser and the Sellers.

(c)    Each of the Sellers and the Purchaser will prepare and file, and cause their respective Affiliates to prepare and file, their Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue Service Forms 8594 and 8883, if applicable) on a basis consistent with the Final Allocation. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, none of the Sellers, the Purchaser or their respective Affiliates will take any position inconsistent with the Final Allocation in any U.S. federal or state Tax Return, in any U.S. federal or state Tax refund claim, in any U.S. federal or state Proceeding or otherwise unless required by a final determination by an applicable Governmental Authority. If any party, or any Affiliate of any party, receives notice from any Governmental Authority that such Governmental Authority is disputing the Final Allocation, such party will promptly notify the other parties, and the Sellers and the Purchaser agree to use their reasonable best efforts to defend such Final Allocation in any Proceeding, and the dispute shall be governed by the procedures in Section 11.2.

Each Acquired Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing (to the extent such concepts are recognized under applicable Law) as a foreign legal entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its activities requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.4    Capitalization and Subsidiaries.

(a)    Section 5.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth for each Acquired Company (i) its name and jurisdiction of organization and (ii) the number of issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other Equity Securities and the record holders thereof. The Transferred Equity Securities constitute the only issued and outstanding shares of equity interests of the Company. No Acquired Company owns or has any rights to acquire, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other Equity Securities of any Person, except for the Subsidiaries set forth in Section 5.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. All of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities of each Acquired Company have been duly authorized and are validly issued, owned of record by, and only by, one or more of the Acquired Companies and, in the case of shares of capital stock, are fully paid and nonassessable and free of any Encumbrances.

(b)    Except as provided in Section 5.4(a) and other than this Agreement, there are no (i) Equity Securities of any class of any Acquired Company, or any security exchangeable into or exercisable for such Equity Securities, issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding or (ii) subscriptions, options, warrants, equity securities, calls, rights or other Contracts to which any Acquired Company is a party or by which any Acquired Company is bound obligating any Acquired Company to issue, exchange, sell, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, or cause to be issued, exchanged, sold, purchased, redeemed or acquired, Equity Securities of any Acquired Company or any security or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such Equity Securities. Other than this Agreement, there are no Contracts to which any Acquired Company is a party or by which any Acquired Company is bound with respect to the transfer, voting (including voting trusts or proxies), registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities Law of the Equity Securities of any Acquired Company. No holder of Indebtedness of any Acquired Company has any right to convert or exchange such Indebtedness for any Equity Securities of any Acquired Company. No holders of outstanding Indebtedness of any Acquired Company have any rights to vote for the election of directors or managers (or similar member of any governing body) of any Acquired Company.

24

(c)    Neither the Company nor any of the other Acquired Companies has any unsatisfied liability or obligation to pay any dividend or other distribution in respect of any of the Acquired Companies’ capital stock (and no Acquired Company has accrued or declared, but unpaid, dividends or other distributions or obligations to make any payments in respect of any Acquired Company’s capital stock).

Section 5.5    Financial Statements.

(a)    Attached as Section 5.5 of the Company Disclosure Schedule are the following financial statements:

(i)    an audited consolidated balance sheet of all Acquired Companies as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017, and the related audited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in partners’ capital and cash flows for the year then ended, including in each case the notes thereto, together with the report thereon of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent certified public accountants (together, the “Audited Financial Statements”);

(ii)    an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of September 30, 2018 (the “Interim Balance Sheet”) and the related unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the year-to-date period then ended (together with the Audited Financial Statements, the “Financial Statements”).

(b)    Except as provided or described in the Financial Statements, the Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the applicable Acquired Companies on a consolidated basis as of the respective dates thereof and for the periods indicated therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 7.3(e) will limit the right of any party to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 9.1(e), as applicable, for so long as such party has, up to the time of termination, complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 7.3, and for the avoidance of doubt, all obligations set forth in this Section 7.3(e) shall terminate as of the date of such termination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser will not be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently paid by the Acquired Companies for such insurance, but in the event that the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Purchaser will, or will cause its

50

instrument or agreement that is effective prior to the Closing or agree to any change or modification of any existing certificate, document, instrument or agreement that is effective prior to the Closing. Any information provided to the Purchaser or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 7.8 will be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 7.5; except that any such information may be disclosed (i) to prospective lenders, underwriters, initial purchasers, placement agents, dealer managers, solicitation agents, information agents and depositary or other agents during syndication and marketing of the Financing that enter into confidentiality arrangements customary for financing transactions of the same type as such Financing (including customary “click-through” confidentiality undertakings) and (ii) on a confidential basis to rating agencies.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, prior to the Closing, any portion of the Acquired Companies’ assets suffers any damage, destruction or other casualty losses that individually or in the aggregate do not have an estimated repair cost (including the cost of any remediation necessary to restore the affected assets to the condition prior to such casualty) as reasonably determined by Sellers which constitutes a Major Loss, then, subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the Purchaser set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2, the Purchaser shall complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in which case all proceeds of any insurance or compensation will be payable to the Purchaser, and all rights and claim of the Sellers to any such amounts not used for repair by the Closing Date are hereby assigned by Sellers and their Affiliates to the Purchaser. To the extent the available coverage limits under the applicable Insurance Policies are equal to or in excess of the amounts reasonably required to be expended by the Company to repair the damage, destruction or other casualty losses (including amounts expended by the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing), the Purchaser shall reimburse Seller out of insurance proceeds received by the Company or the Purchaser after the Closing for all amounts in excess of the applicable deductibles on the Company’s casualty insurance policies, expended by the Company to remediate the insurable damage, destruction or other casualty losses prior to the Closing for which the Company did not receive insurance proceeds prior to the Closing. Any claim by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.16 for indemnification of casualty Losses shall be limited to the amount of non-insured Loss incurred by the Purchaser and subject to the applicable limitations set forth in Article 10.

Section 7.17    Third Party Consents. After the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, to the extent requested by the Purchaser, the Sellers shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to (a) obtain the consent of, or to provide notice to, any party to a Contract (or similar third party) to the extent that it is required to be obtained or provided in connection with and prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) to obtain, or cooperate with the Purchaser to obtain effective as of the Closing, any other waivers, approvals,

53

acknowledgements or modifications from any party to any Contract (or similar third party) and (c) obtain the consent of, or to provide notice to, any Governmental Authority to the extent that it is required to be obtained or provided in respect of any Governmental Authorization in connection with and prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall, and the Sellers shall cause the Acquired Companies to, cooperate in connection with seeking consents and providing the notices pursuant to this Section 7.17 and, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Sellers shall (a) provide drafts of any related documents to the Purchaser prior to providing such document to the relevant third party, (b) accept all reasonable comments of the Purchaser on such draft documents and (c) reasonably coordinate with the Purchaser with respect to the development and implementation of a strategy to engage with any such third parties. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the above consents will be a condition to the Closing.

Section 7.18    No Solicitation of Competing Transactions. From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, the Sellers shall not, and shall not permit their Affiliates or Representatives to, directly or indirectly, solicit, negotiate with, provide any non-public information regarding any of the Acquired Companies, enter into any agreement with, or in any manner encourage, any proposal of, any Person (other than Purchaser and its Affiliates) relating to a potential acquisition of all or a material portion of the equity interests or assets of any of the Acquired Companies or any similar transactions involving any of the Acquired Companies, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise (collectively, “Acquisition Proposals”). The Sellers shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, immediately cease all communications with any such Person that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal as of the date of this Agreement and request that each such Person promptly return or destroy all confidential information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Sellers or their respective Affiliates in connection with any such Acquisition Proposal. The Sellers agree not to, and to cause their respective Affiliates not to, release any third party from the confidentiality, standstill, employee non-solicit or other provisions of any agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposals and shall not fail to enforce such provisions.

Section 7.19    Bank Accounts. Schedule 7.19 sets forth all of the bank accounts of the Acquired Companies. On or prior to the Closing, the Sellers will, and will cause the Acquired Companies to, enter into and execute resolutions, consents, signature cards or other documents or agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser to effect the change of the authorized signatories of all of the bank accounts owned by the Acquired Companies.

Section 7.20    Termination of Affiliate Arrangements. The Sellers shall take, or shall cause their respective Affiliates to take, all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate such that, at the Closing, except as set forth on Section 7.20 to this Agreement, all Affiliate Arrangements (and any and all associated pledges and security agreements), including all powers of attorney executed on behalf of any Acquired Company in favor of the Sellers or their respective Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, One Equity Partners and its Affiliates, portfolio companies and affiliated investment funds), employees or agents, shall have been terminated or released, without any further right, obligation or Liability of any Person party thereto.

Section 7.21    Further Actions. Subject to the other express provisions of this Agreement, upon the request of any party to this Agreement, the other parties will execute and deliver such other documents, instruments and agreements as the requesting party may reasonably require for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.22    Insurance. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers and Seller GP shall assign and transfer to the Acquired Companies, or otherwise ensure that the Acquired Companies are named

54

insured parties under, all insurance policies relating to the assets, properties, or operations of the Acquired Companies that are held by Sellers or Seller GP, or any Person owning or controlling Sellers or Seller GP, except solely to the extent such policies relate to Assigned Claims.

Section 7.23    Pre-Closing Restructuring.

(a)    The Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts prior to Closing to take, or cause their respective Affiliates to take, such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to timely achieve the Dutch corporate restructuring sufficiently known to the Parties, including (i) a reduction of the capital of Sonneborn Refined Products B.V. with approximately EUR 21 million by means of a distribution to Sonneborn Dutch Holdings B.V. prior to year-end and (ii) conversion of the Dutch Parent Company from a cooperative with excluded liability (coöperatie met uitgesloten aansprakelijheid) to a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid). The obligations of the Sellers to complete the restructuring under sub-Section (ii) of this Section 7.23(a) are conditioned upon the Dutch Parent Company having obtained a ruling from the Dutch Tax authorities that the conversion will not result in a taxable transaction. Save for actions that cannot be delayed, prior to effecting the actions contemplated under sub-Sections (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.23(a), the Sellers shall provide the Purchaser with copies of any draft agreements, resolutions, filings or other material documents relating to actions contemplated under sub-Sections (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.23(a) and shall consider in good faith the views of the Purchaser with respect to such drafts and the restructuring and related actions.

(b)    If a Dutch Acquired Company is required to install a supervisory board, the Sellers shall in close consultation with the Purchaser (i) install only one supervisory board consisting of five (5) members, four of whom will resign at Closing in accordance with Section 3.2(a)(ii), (ii) appoint all persons designated by the Purchaser, where required upon the nomination by the supervisory board, as new supervisory directors as of Closing in accordance with Section 3.2(a)(ii), (iii) ensure that the Constituent Documents relating to such Dutch Acquired Company shall provide that the management board shall be appointed by the general meeting, and (iv) timely provide the Purchaser with drafts of all documentation in connection with (the installation of) the supervisory board and the various aspects described in this Section 7.23(b) for approval by the Purchaser.

(c)    Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in Section 10.1 or Section 11.1, provided the Sellers have acted in good faith, in no event will the Sellers be required to indemnify the Purchaser or Acquired Companies for any Loss associated with any actions taken by the Sellers or any Acquired Company in connection with this Section 7.23 or the failure by the Sellers to complete the restructuring contemplated by this Section 7.23.

ARTICLE 9

TERMINATION

Section 9.1    Termination Events. This Agreement may, by written notice given before or at the Closing, be terminated:

(a)    by mutual written consent of the Purchaser and the Sellers;

(b)    by the Purchaser (so long as the Purchaser is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement as would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) not to be satisfied) if there has been a breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Sellers or the Company contained in this Agreement which would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b), and which breach cannot be cured by the Company or the Sellers, as applicable, by August 12, 2019 (the “Outside Date”), or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within the earlier of (i) the Outside Date, or (ii) 30 days after written notice of the breach has been delivered to the Sellers by the Purchaser;

(c)    by the Sellers (so long as the Sellers and the Company are not then in material breach of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement as would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1, Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) not to be satisfied) if there has been a breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement which would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.1, Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b), and which breach cannot be cured by the Purchaser by the Outside Date or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within the earlier of (i) the Outside Date or (ii) 30 days after written notice of the breach has been delivered to the Purchaser by the Sellers;

(d)    by either the Purchaser or the Sellers, if any Governmental Authority has issued a nonappealable final Judgment or taken any other nonappealable final action, in each case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining, making illegal or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d) will not be available to any party whose material breach of this Agreement has been the primary cause of or resulted in the action or event described in this Section 9.1(d) occurring;

(e)    by the Purchaser, if the Closing has not occurred (other than if the failure of the Purchaser to comply fully with its obligations under this Agreement is the primary cause of the failure of the Closing Date to occur on or before such date) on or before the Outside Date; or

57

(f)    by the Sellers, if the Closing has not occurred (other than if the failure of the Sellers or the Company to comply fully with their respective obligations under this Agreement is the primary cause of the failure of the Closing Date to occur on or before such date) on or before the Outside Date.

Notwithstanding Section 9.1(e) or Section 9.1(f), if as of the Outside Date all of the conditions precedent to obligations of the Purchaser set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2, other than the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) (to the extent related to any Competition Law) and those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing have been satisfied, the Purchaser and the Sellers will each have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the other party at least five Business Days prior to the then existing Outside Date, to extend the Outside Date by 90 additional days. Following the exercise of such right by the Purchaser or Sellers, all references to the Outside Date in this Agreement will refer to such extended Outside Date, provided, however, that, absent the mutual agreement of the parties, the Outside Date may only be extended three times.

Section 9.2    Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement will automatically end without Liability against any party or its Affiliates, except that (a) Section 7.5(a), Section 7.6, this Section 9.2, Section 9.3, and Article 13 (except for Section 13.10) will remain in full force and survive any termination of this Agreement and (b) no such termination shall relieve any party from any liability for damages resulting from an intentional and material breach of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “intentional and material breach” means a material breach of this Agreement that is the consequence of an act or failure to act undertaken by the breaching party with actual knowledge that the taking of or failure to take such act would, or would be reasonably expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement.

Section 9.3    Reverse Termination Fee.

(a)    In the event that (i) this Agreement is terminated (a) by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.1(e), (b) by the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(f), or (c) by the Sellers or the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.1(d) (but only if the applicable Judgment or other nonappleable final action relates to a Competition Law), and (ii) on the date of such termination all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 shall have been satisfied or waived, other than (x) the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a), (y) the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(b) (but only if the applicable Proceeding, Law or Judgment relates to a Competition Law) and (z) those conditions that are by their nature to be satisfied at the Closing (but, in the case of clause (z), which conditions would be satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such termination), then the Purchaser shall promptly pay to the Sellers the Reverse Termination Fee by wire transfer of same day funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Sellers to the Purchaser for such purpose (it being understood that in no event shall the Purchaser be required to pay the Reverse Termination Fee on more than one occasion).

(b)    The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, the parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Purchaser fails to promptly pay the amounts due pursuant to this Section 9.3 and, in order to obtain such payment, the Sellers commence a suit that results in a judgment against the Purchaser for any amounts due pursuant to this Section 9.3, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers their out-of-pocket, documented costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of any unpaid fee, cost or expense at the publicly announced prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. from the date such fee, cost or expense was required to be paid to (but excluding) the payment date.

58

(c)     The parties acknowledge that the Reverse Termination Fee shall not constitute a penalty but constitutes liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Sellers in the circumstances in which the Reverse Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Sellers receive the Reverse Termination Fee from the Purchaser pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 9.3, such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Sellers, the Seller GP and the Company and their respective Affiliates against the Purchaser, its Affiliates and any of their respective former, current, or future stockholders, directors, officers, Affiliates or agents for any Losses suffered as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Purchaser in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith (other than in connection with any intentional and material breach of this Agreement as described in Section 9.2) or the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated, or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, and upon payment of such amount if and when due, none of the Purchaser, its Affiliates or any of their respective former, current, or future stockholders, directors, officers, Affiliates or agents shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby other than the obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement and the Clean Room Agreements (the “Clean Team Agreements”) among the Cayman Seller, the Guarantor and Guarantor’s Advisors (as defined in such Clean Room Agreements).

ARTICLE 10

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1    Indemnification of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties. From and after the Closing Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.4 and Section 10.5, the Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its Affiliates, including for this purpose the Acquired Companies, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors and representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses (other than Losses with respect to Taxes, for which the provisions of Section 11.1(a) will govern) of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties arising or resulting from (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of (i) the Sellers set forth in Article 4, (ii) the Company set forth in Article 5 or (iii) in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement (in each case, except in the case of Section 5.5 and the first sentence of Section 5.7, read without regard to all references to “material”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifications as to materiality set forth therein) or (b)  any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Sellers or the Company set forth in this Agreement.

Section 10.2     Indemnification of the Seller Indemnified Parties. From and after the Closing Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.4 and Section 10.5, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses (other than Losses with respect to Taxes, for which the provisions of Section 11.1(b) will govern) of the Seller Indemnified Parties arising or resulting from (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser set forth in Article 6, or (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement.

59

Section 10.3    Claim Procedure.

(a)    A party that seeks indemnity under this Article 10 (an “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) whether the Losses sought arise from matters solely between the parties or from a claim or Proceeding by another Person not a party, nor an Affiliate of a party, to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”). The Claim Notice must contain (i) a description and, if known, the estimated amount of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Claim Notice to the extent of the facts then known by the Indemnified Party and (iii) a demand for payment of those Losses; provided that no delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 10 except to the extent such delay or deficiency materially prejudices the rights of the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto.

(b)    In the event of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, assume control of the defense thereof at its sole cost and expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party by giving to the Indemnified Party written notice of its intention to assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim within ten days of receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim. Following the assumption of control of the defense of any Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim (unless the Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, agrees otherwise in writing) in the event: (i) the Third Party Claim involves an injunction or other equitable relief; or (ii) losses sought to be recovered under such Third Party Claim (together with all other losses sought to be recovered under any other claims then pending or in dispute) would reasonably be expected not to be covered by the Indemnifying Party under the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 10.5.

(c)    In the event that the Indemnifying Party declines to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within 30 days of receiving a Claim Notice, or is not entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim according to subsection (b) above, then the Indemnified Party will have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel of its choosing (which reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall constitute recoverable Losses for which the Sellers or the Purchaser, as applicable, is responsible if the claim underlying such Third Party Claim is a claim for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder); provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel). If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with this subsection (c), then:

(i)    The Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party informed of all material developments relating to such Third Party Claim. The Sellers or the Purchaser, as applicable, shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not waive any privilege;

(ii)    The Indemnifying Party may retain separate co-counsel and participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to such Third Party Claim at its own cost and expense, and shall be entitled to reasonably consult with the Indemnified Party with respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to such Third Party Claim; and

(iii)    The Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise of such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (it being

60

understood that it shall be reasonable to withhold such consent where the Sellers or the Purchaser, as applicable, believes in good faith that there is not an underlying basis for indemnification with respect to such settlement)), unless (1) such judgment, settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release from all Liability with respect to the claim in favor of the Purchaser Indemnified Party or the Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, or (2) the Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party stipulates in writing that there are no Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Article 10 in connection with such judgment, settlement or compromise.

(d)    In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not agree to any settlement of, or consent to the entry of any Judgment (other than a Judgment of dismissal on the merits without costs or Liability and which includes no admission of fault or wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates) arising from any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.3, the Purchaser will not be required to provide a Claim Notice to the Sellers, permit the Sellers to assume the defense of or obtain the Sellers’ consent in connection with the settlement of any claim for indemnification by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties that is to be satisfied exclusively through a claim made by the Purchaser under the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 10.4    Survival. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing until the later of (i) the first anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) March 31 of the calendar year after the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, unless on or prior to such date a proper Claim Notice is made with respect to any such representation or warranty, in which case such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for the purposes of, the resolution of such claim; provided that the Seller Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing until the date that is the ten year anniversary of the Closing Date, unless on or prior to such date a proper Claim Notice is made with respect to any such representation or warranty, in which case such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for the purposes of, the resolution of such claim. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement required to be performed or complied with, in whole or in part, after the Closing Date will survive the Closing until the earlier of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and the last date on which each such post Closing covenant or agreement was required to be performed as specified in this Agreement. All claims for indemnification under this Agreement must be asserted pursuant to a Claim Notice given prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 10.4; provided that any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that is the subject of a claim for indemnification which is asserted pursuant to a Claim Notice given after the Closing Date within the survival periods specified in this Section 10.4 will survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of such claim.

Section 10.5    Limitations on Liability.

(a)    Any indemnification to which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may be entitled pursuant to this Article 10 or Article 11 will be satisfied exclusively by payment from the Indemnity Escrow Fund or by claims made by the Purchaser under the R&W Insurance Policies, except the Sellers shall remain responsible for all indemnifiable Losses arising out of, relating to or incurred by reason of (i) Seller Fraud, (ii) breach of covenants that by their respective terms anticipate performance following the Closing Date, or (iii) any breach of the Seller Fundamental Representations (in each case, to the extent the Losses associated with such claim are not paid under the R&W Insurance Policies).

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

61

(i)    the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any individual claim or series of claims having the same nature or origin where the Losses relating thereto are less than $200,000, and then the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to the full amount of such claim, it being understood that such items less than $200,000 will not be aggregated for purposes of calculating the Deductible in clause (ii) below; provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 10.5(b)(i) shall not apply in the case of Seller Fraud, breach of a covenant or agreement, to any indemnification obligation of the Sellers arising out of or resulting from, any breach of the Seller Fundamental Representations or to an indemnification claim under Section 11.1 for Excluded Taxes;

(ii)    the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to indemnification until the aggregate amount of Losses to which the Purchaser Indemnified Party would (but for this clause (ii)) be entitled exceeds $3,275,000.00 (such amount being the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent of such excess over the Deductible; provided, however, that the Deductible shall not apply in the case of Seller Fraud, breach a covenant or agreement, to any indemnification obligation of the Sellers arising out of or resulting from, any breach of the Seller Fundamental Representations or to an indemnification claim under Section 11.1 for Excluded Taxes;

(iii)    other than any indemnification obligation of the Sellers arising out of or resulting from, any breach of the Seller Fundamental Representations, breach of a covenant or agreement or Seller Fraud, the aggregate amount with respect to which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement will not exceed the Indemnity Escrow Amount. The aggregate amount with respect to which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement in respect of inaccuracies in or breaches of Seller Fundamental Representations shall not exceed the Final Purchase Price; and

(iv)    the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreements, will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.

(c)    In addition to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.5, with respect to any claim for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE 10 regarding any breach of any representation and warranty set forth in Section 5.15 (Environmental Matters), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to indemnification for any Loss to the extent such Loss arises out of or as a result of: (i) any voluntary notice or disclosure by any Purchaser Indemnified Party to any Governmental Authority or third party of any Release of Hazardous Material or any other environmental conditions or matters at the Real Property, (ii) the performance at the Real Property of any environmental sampling or testing, including a Phase II environmental investigation, by or on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnified Party after the Closing Date, unless, in the case of (i) or (ii), such notices or actions are (A) required by applicable Law, an order from a Governmental Authority or to respond to a third party claim initiated by any Governmental Authority or third party, (B) required to address subsurface conditions identified in connection with any construction, development, demolition or renovation activities undertaken by the Acquired Companies or (C) undertaken to address an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health or the environment discovered in the ordinary course of business; or (iii) any change from the current industrial use of the Real Property after the Closing; provided, however, that in each case, the Sellers and its Affiliates shall have no Liability for any such Loss to the extent that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, or any other Person after Closing, contribute to or exacerbate the condition or circumstance forming the basis of such Loss.

62

(d)    The amount of any Losses (which shall take into account any reasonably anticipated offsetting net Tax benefits or detriments, if any) for which indemnification is provided pursuant to this Article 10 or Article 11 will be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements receivable by, or payable in kind to, the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses less any related deductibles, out of pocket fees and expenses, or amounts paid, incurred or suffered by such Indemnified Party in connection with recovering such amount. In connection therewith, if, at any time following any indemnification payment pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party receives any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements relating to the circumstances giving rise to such indemnification payment, except to the extent of any Losses not covered by such proceeds, payments or reimbursements, the Indemnified Party will promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party such proceeds, payments or reimbursements in an amount not to exceed the amount of the corresponding indemnification payment made by the Indemnifying Party. The Purchaser will use (and will cause its Affiliates to use) reasonable best efforts to collect the proceeds of any available insurance and other available sources of indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements that would have the effect of reducing any Losses (in which case the net proceeds thereof will reduce the Losses).

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any amounts payable pursuant to the indemnification obligations under this Article 10 will be paid without duplication and in no event will any party hereto be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for Losses that have already been paid or otherwise taken into account under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser or the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will not make any claim for indemnification under this Article 10 to the extent the amount of such Loss is taken into account as a Current Liability or other reduction in the calculation of any adjustment to the Purchase Price, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.2; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any Purchaser Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification under this Article 10 with respect to any Losses indemnifiable under this Article 10 in excess of what was reflected in such adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(f)    The Indemnified Party will use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate any Losses (other than those for which any Purchaser Indemnified Party has recourse against any R&W Insurance Policy pursuant to the terms thereof) with respect to which it may be entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. This provision shall not however require the Indemnified Party to mitigate Losses once all amounts in the Indemnity Escrow Fund have been paid out to the Purchaser or Seller in accordance with the terms thereof.

(g)    In no event will Indemnified Party be entitled to recover for any Losses for general and administrative time or other overhead expenses that are not paid to a third party. Purchaser Indemnified Persons will have no right to make a claim for any Loss to the extent it is primarily a possible or potential Loss that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties believe may be asserted rather than a Loss that has, in fact, been paid or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties.

(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither any revocation, cancellation or modification of any R&W Insurance Policy, nor any inability of, nor any denial by, the R&W Insurer to pay any Losses contemplated by any R&W Insurance Policy, shall result in Liability under this Article 10 to the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates which is in excess of the Liability of the Sellers contemplated under this Article 10.

63

(i)    For purposes of calculating the amount of any Losses arising from any breach of any representation or warranty subject to indemnification hereunder, the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement will be read without regard to all references to “material”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifications as to materiality set forth herein.

Section 10.6    Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Each of the parties agrees to treat any payments under this Article 10 or Article 11 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law.

Section 10.7    Exclusive Remedy.

(a)    From and after the Closing, except as otherwise provided in (i) Section 13.10 (Specific Performance), (ii) in the case of Seller Fraud, or (iii) in the case of covenants or agreements that by their respective terms anticipate performance following the Closing Date, and subject to any rights of the Purchaser under the R&W Insurance Policies, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any matter arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 10 or Article 11 and, except to the extent the Purchaser has asserted a claim for indemnification by giving a Claim Notice in accordance with Section 10.3 prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 10.4, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will have no remedy for any breach of any provision of this Agreement.

(b)    From and after the Closing, except as otherwise provided in (i) Section 13.10 (Specific Performance), (ii) in the case of fraud, or (iii) in the case of covenants or agreements that by their respective terms anticipate performance following the Closing Date, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller Indemnified Parties for any matter arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 10 or Article 11 and, except to the extent the Sellers have asserted a claim for indemnification by giving a Claim Notice in accordance with Section 10.3 prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 10.4, the Seller Indemnified Parties will have no remedy for any breach of any provision of this Agreement.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.7 will not interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of Section 2.2 providing for the resolution of certain disputes relating to the Purchase Price between the parties or by the Accounting Firm. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of the Sellers to the Purchaser for actual fraud in the event that the Sellers, Seller GP or the Company is finally determined by a court of competent and final jurisdiction to have willfully and knowingly committed fraud against the Purchaser, with the specific intent to deceive and mislead the Purchaser, regarding the representations and warranties made in this Agreement (“Seller Fraud”). The exception to the limit of Sellers liability shall not include (i) constructive fraud, (ii) fraud related to the operation of the Company and not related to the making of representations and warranties under this Agreement or (iii)  claims of fraud against Persons other than the Sellers, Seller GP or the Company or any of their respective employees.

ARTICLE 11

TAX MATTERS

Section 11.1    Liability and Indemnification for Taxes.

(a)    From and after the Closing Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.1(d), the Sellers will indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for all Excluded Taxes.

64

(b)    From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser will indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties against all Taxes of the Acquired Companies that are attributable to any Post-Closing Period and any Taxes for which an amount has been, and to the extent, included in Closing Income Taxes, other than any such Tax liabilities that are Excluded Taxes.

(c)    To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Purchaser will elect (and will cause the Acquired Companies to elect) to treat any Straddle Period with respect to any Tax of the Acquired Companies as ending as of the end of the Closing Date, and will take such steps as may be necessary therefor. If such an election cannot be made, for purposes of this Agreement, all Taxes and Tax Liabilities with respect to the income, property or operations of the Acquired Companies that relate to a Straddle Period will be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period (i) in the case of Taxes other than income, sales and use, turnover, wage, and withholding Taxes, on a per-diem basis, and (ii) in the case of income, sales and use, turnover, wage, and withholding Taxes, as determined from the books and records of the Acquired Companies as though the taxable year of the Acquired Companies terminated at the close of business on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Transaction Tax Deduction is reflected on a Straddle Tax Return pursuant to Section 11.2(b), such Transaction Tax Deduction shall be apportioned to the Pre-Closing Period.

(d)    Any indemnification to which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may be entitled pursuant to this Article 11 will be satisfied exclusively by payment from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (and subject to any rights of the Purchaser under the R&W Insurance Policies), and no claim (for indemnification or otherwise) relating to Taxes may be asserted by any Purchaser Indemnified Party against the Sellers or any other Seller Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to indemnification for (i) reductions in any Tax Attributes (other than any Tax Attributes taken into account in calculating Closing Income Taxes or Closing Net Working Capital) of any Acquired Company, (ii) Taxes attributable to Pre-Closing Periods to the extent such Taxes are reduced by Pre-Closing Period Tax Attributes, (iii) Taxes that were taken into account in calculating the Closing Net Working Capital or the Closing Income Taxes, (iv) Indirect Taxes that are reasonably recoverable (as determined in good faith by the Purchaser taking into account the burden and expense of such recovery) from a Person other than the Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or the Seller, (v) Taxes resulting from transactions or actions taken by any Purchaser Indemnified Party or the Acquired Companies after the Closing Date, or (vi) Taxes directly attributable to and resulting from any extraordinary transactions or actions taken by the Purchaser or Acquired Companies outside of the ordinary course of business that occur on the Closing Date after the Closing except to the extent that, in the case of each of clauses (v) and (vi), such transactions or actions are (y) expressly contemplated by this Agreement (it being understood that any actions taken in connection with making any Section 338(g) Election and actions taken pursuant to Section 11.2 are expressly contemplated by this Agreement) or (z) required to be taken by an Acquired Company to comply by applicable Law.

(e)    All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest), in each case, imposed on the purchase and sale of the Transferred Equity Securities pursuant to this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, not including any income or capital gains Tax of the Sellers or their direct or indirect owners) (“Transfer Taxes”) will be paid by the Purchaser when due. The Purchaser will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, the parties will, and will cause their Affiliates to join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

65

Section 11.2    Tax Returns; Tax Proceedings.

(a)    The Sellers shall, at their expense, prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed (taking into account all extensions properly obtained), all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Period (other than a Straddle Period). With respect to any such Tax Returns that are due after the Closing Date and prior to the Escrow Survival Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”), the Sellers will remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Pre-Closing Tax Returns. Drafts of any Pre-Closing Tax Return will be submitted by the Sellers to the Purchaser not later than 45 days prior to the due date for filing such Pre-Closing Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions) for review and reasonable comment by the Purchaser. Any Pre-Closing Tax Returns prepared by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 11.2(a) will (x) be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice of the relevant Acquired Company, unless otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law and (y) to the extent permitted under applicable Law and not inconsistent with clause (x), reflect any relevant Transaction Tax Deductions. Within 20 days after the date that the Purchaser receives such draft Pre-Closing Tax Return, but in no event less than five days prior to the due date of any such Pre-Closing Tax Return, the Purchaser will advise the Sellers in writing that it either agrees with the draft Pre-Closing Tax Return or does not agree with the draft Pre-Closing Tax Return, in which case, the Purchaser shall set out, in reasonable detail, the basis for such disagreement, and the Purchaser and the Sellers will discuss in good faith to resolve the disagreement. In the event the Purchaser and the Sellers fail to reach agreement, the Purchaser and the Sellers agree to mutually instruct an independent accounting firm to make a final determination of all matters that remain in dispute in respect of such draft Pre-Closing Tax Return. The fees and expenses of such independent accounting firm will be borne equally by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand.

(b)    The Purchaser will prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed (taking into account all extensions properly obtained), all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by the Acquired Companies after the Closing Date that include a Straddle Period (each, a “Straddle Tax Return”). Subject to the provisions of Section 11.2(c) of this Agreement, the Purchaser will remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Straddle Tax Returns. With respect to any Tax Return required to be filed by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 11.2(b), (the “Covered Returns”), drafts of such Covered Returns will be submitted by the Purchaser to the Sellers not later than 30 days prior to the due date for filing such Covered Returns (taking into account any applicable extensions), provided that such due date is at least 45 days following the Closing Date for review and reasonable comment by the Sellers. Any Straddle Tax Returns prepared by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 11.2(b) will (x) be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice of the relevant Acquired Company, unless otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law and (y) to the extent permitted under applicable Law, reflect any relevant Transaction Tax Deductions. Within 30 days after the date that the Sellers receive such draft Covered Return, but in no event less than five days prior to the due date of any such Covered Return, the Sellers will advise the Purchaser in writing that it either agrees with the draft Covered Return or does not agree with the draft Covered Return, in which case, the Sellers shall set out, in reasonable detail, the basis for such disagreement, and the Sellers and the Purchaser will discuss in good faith to resolve the disagreement. In the event the Sellers and the Purchaser fail to reach agreement, the Sellers and the Purchaser agree to mutually instruct an independent accounting firm to make a final determination of all matters that remain in dispute in respect of such draft Covered Return. The fees and expenses of such independent accounting firm will be borne equally by the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand. The Purchaser will timely file, or cause to be filed, all Covered Returns, which will be amended, if necessary, after the final resolution of the disputed items by the independent accounting firm pursuant to this Section 11.2(b). Without limiting the Purchaser’s or any other Person’s rights to indemnification under this Article 11 or Article 10, the Purchaser will pay (or cause to be paid) the Taxes shown as due thereon. Within 10 days of the Purchaser’s filing of a Covered Return, the Sellers will reimburse the Purchaser for the amount of Taxes on such Covered Return that is attributable to a Pre-

66

Closing Period; provided, however, that, if the Purchaser fails to timely comply with its obligations pursuant to this Section 11.2(b), the Purchaser and not the Sellers will be responsible for (and the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers for) any Tax-related Losses, including any interest, additions to Tax, or penalties, incurred by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates solely and exclusively as a consequence of the Purchaser’s failure to timely comply with the provisions of this Section 11.2(b). on any Straddle Tax Return, provided that, no later than 5 days prior to the due date for paying such Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority, the Sellers will pay to (or as directed by) the Purchaser the amount of Excluded Taxes due in respect of such Straddle Tax Return.

(c)    If, after the Closing Date and prior to the Escrow Survival Date, the Purchaser or an Acquired Company receives in writing any communication from any Governmental Authority with respect to any pending or threatened Tax Proceeding in connection with any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for a Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period, the Purchaser will promptly notify the Sellers of such Tax Proceeding following receipt; provided, however, that no failure or delay by the Purchaser to provide such notice shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of the Sellers under Section 11.1(a), except and only to the extent that the Sellers are materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. The Purchaser will include with such notification a true, correct and complete copy of such written communication so received by the Purchaser or an Acquired Company. Until the Escrow Survival Date, the Sellers will have the right to control any Tax Proceeding that is with respect to a Pre-Closing Period of the Acquired Companies (other than a Straddle Period or a Tax Proceeding with respect to a Tax for which the Purchaser is responsible pursuant to Section 11.1(b) or Section 11.1(e)) (a “Sellers’ Tax Proceeding”); provided that (i) the Sellers will keep the Purchaser reasonably informed concerning the progress of any such Sellers’ Tax Proceeding, (ii) the Sellers will provide the Purchaser copies of all correspondence and other documents relevant to any such Sellers’ Tax Proceeding, (iii) the Sellers shall conduct such Sellers’ Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith, and (iv) the Sellers will not agree to settle such Sellers’ Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d)    The Purchaser will have the right to control any Tax Proceeding that is with respect to a Straddle Period of the Acquired Companies (a “Purchaser’s Tax Proceeding”); provided that, prior to the Escrow Survival Date, (i) the Purchaser will keep the Sellers reasonably informed concerning the progress of any such Purchaser’s Tax Proceeding, (ii) the Purchaser will provide the Sellers copies of all correspondence and other documents relevant to any such Purchaser’s Tax Proceeding, (iii) the Purchaser shall conduct such Purchaser’s Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith, and (iv) the Purchaser will not agree to settle a Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which the Sellers shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Purchaser shall exclusively control all Tax Proceedings with respect to any of the Acquired Companies. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to control any (x) Sellers’ Tax Proceeding that the Sellers elect not to control within 30 days after receipt of notice of such Tax Proceeding and (y) Tax Proceeding with respect to any of the Acquired Companies after the Escrow Survival Date.

Section 11.3    Administration of Tax Claims and Survival. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any claims for any and all Tax matters shall be made only pursuant to, and the procedures with respect thereto shall be governed exclusively by, this Article 11 and shall not be governed by the provisions of Article 10; provided, however, that Section 10.4, Section 10.5(a), Section 10.5(b)(iv), Section 10.6, and Section 10.7 will apply in the case of any claim related to Taxes pursuant to this Article 11. The obligation to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Section 11.1(a) and Section 11.1(b) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby until the Escrow Survival Date.

67

Section 11.4    Cooperation.

(a)    The Purchaser, the Acquired Companies and the Sellers will cooperate in good faith, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, including providing information and data required in order to enable the parties to complete and file Tax Returns pursuant to Section 11.2 and to respond to audits by any Governmental Authority and to otherwise enable the parties to satisfy their internal accounting, Tax and other reasonable requirements. Such cooperation and information will include (upon the other party’s request) promptly forwarding copies of appropriate notices and forms of other communications received from or sent to any Governmental Authority which relate to Taxes of any of the Acquired Companies for which such party is liable and providing copies of the relevant portion of Tax Returns for which such party is liable, together with accompanying schedules and related work papers, documents relating to rulings or other determinations by any Governmental Authority and records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property which the parties may possess. The parties will make their respective employees, facilities and Tax and accounting advisors available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanation of any documents or information provided hereunder.

(b)    The Purchaser and the Sellers will retain all books and records in its possession with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Companies relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions thereof) applicable to such taxable periods, and to abide by all material record retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority.

Section 11.5    Transaction Tax Deductions. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that any Transaction Tax Deductions will be for the benefit of Seller and will be apportioned to the Pre-Closing Period of the Acquired Companies for purposes of determining the amount of any Tax for which the Sellers are responsible pursuant to Section 11.1(a) and will be reported on the Acquired Companies’ Tax Returns for taxable years that end on or include the Closing Date.

Section 11.6    Post-Closing Taxes Matters.

(a)    Unless otherwise required by Law, and until the Escrow Survival Date, the Purchaser will not, without the prior written consent of the Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), file or cause to be filed any amended Tax Return with respect to the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Period (other than any Straddle Period).

(b)    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Purchaser will be solely responsible for all Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Acquired Companies, or for which the Acquired Companies may otherwise be liable, for any Post-Closing Period (other than any Straddle Period).

Section 11.7    Tax Sharing Agreements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Sellers shall terminate (or cause to be terminated) on or before the Closing Date all Tax sharing, allocation, indemnity or similar agreements or arrangements (other than this Agreement), if any, to which any Acquired Company, on the one hand, and the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) or direct or indirect owners, on the other hand, are parties, and none of the Purchaser, the Acquired Companies, or any of their respective Affiliates or direct or indirect owners shall have any obligations thereunder after the Closing.

Section 11.8    Section 338(g) Elections. The Sellers agree that the Purchaser may make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to the actual or deemed acquisition of the stock of any of the Subsidiaries of the Dutch Parent Company (any such election, a “Section 338(g) Election”). The Sellers and the Purchaser (a) shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, undertake any action or engage in any transaction that would jeopardize the validity of any Section 338(g) Election, (b) agree to report the transfers under this Agreement consistent with any Section 338(g) Election and

68

shall take no position contrary thereto unless required to do so by applicable Tax Law, and (c) shall cooperate in good faith with one another with respect to the preparation and distribution of shareholder notifications with respect to any Section 338(g) Election.

ARTICLE 12

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

Section 12.1    Employees.

(a)    For a period of one year commencing on the Closing Date (or such longer period as may be required by any collective bargaining, works council or similar agreement (to the extent then applicable) or applicable Law) (the “Continuation Period”), the Purchaser will provide, or cause the Acquired Companies to provide, those Persons employed by any Acquired Company immediately prior to the Closing (the “Transferred Employees”), for so long as each Transferred Employee remains employed by Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof (including an Acquired Company) during the Continuation Period, with (i) base salary or hourly wages which are no less than the base salary or hourly wages provided by the Acquired Companies immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) target bonus opportunities which are no less than the target bonus opportunities provided by the Acquired Companies immediately prior to the Closing, and (iii) employee benefits (including severance benefits, but excluding retiree welfare benefits) that in the aggregate are substantially equivalent to those provided to such Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing.

(b)    To the extent that service is relevant for purposes of eligibility, vesting or benefit accrual under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by the Purchaser for the benefit of Transferred Employees, such plan, program or arrangement will credit such employees or former employees for service on or prior to the Closing with the Acquired Companies and their Affiliates, to the same extent such service was recognized immediately prior to the Effective Time under a comparable Company Plan in which such Transferred Employee was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that, the foregoing shall not apply with respect to (i) benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or retiree welfare benefit program, (ii) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service, or (iii) with respect to any plan, program, or arrangement (A) that is grandfathered or frozen, or (B) with respect to which similarly situated employees of Purchaser do not receive prior service credit.

(c)    After the Closing Date, the Purchaser will assume or cause the Acquired Companies to perform in accordance with their terms (including terms relating to termination or amendment) (i) all Company Plans (including all written severance policies) in effect as of the Closing, and (ii) all collective bargaining, works council or similar agreements to which an Acquired Company is party as of the Closing.

(d)    The Acquired Companies shall submit any communications with any current or former employees or service providers of the Acquired Companies relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, employee benefits, post-Closing terms of employment or otherwise to the Purchaser for review, comment and approval prior to distribution of such communications, and the Purchaser agrees that its review, comment and approval of such communications shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e)    Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Transferred Employee or other service provider any right to continue in the employ or service of the Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or any Affiliate of the Purchaser, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Purchaser, the

69

Acquired Companies or any of their Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Transferred Employee at any time following the Closing for any reason whatsoever. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Company Plan or any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or any other benefit plan, program or Contract maintained or sponsored by the Purchaser, the Acquired Companies, or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing Date, the Acquired Companies) or Affiliates; or (ii) alter or limit the ability of the Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing Date, the Acquired Companies) or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Company Plan or any other compensation or benefit or employment plan, program or Contract after the Closing. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Article 12 shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any Transferred Employee or current or former service provider of the Acquired Companies (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

In connection with any negotiation, dispute or other Proceeding that may arise concurrently or in the future with respect to this Agreement, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Baker McKenzie may represent the Sellers and any other Seller Indemnified Party in connection with such matter, and the Purchaser, following consultation with counsel other than Baker McKenzie and full disclosure of all facts material to this conflict waiver, expressly waives any and all rights to assert any claim of conflict of interest on the part of Baker McKenzie with respect to any such matter or that Baker McKenzie is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation.

75

(b)    Furthermore, notwithstanding this Agreement, the Acquired Companies and the Purchaser agree that neither the Acquired Companies nor the Purchaser shall have the right to control, assert or access the attorney/client privilege as to any communications at any time between the Sellers or the Acquired Companies (for the Acquired Companies, only with respect to communications at or prior to the Closing) and Baker McKenzie to the extent that the privileged communications relate to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The parties agree that following the Closing, the Seller, and no one else, shall be entitled to control, access and assert such attorney/client privilege as to such communications.

(c)    The Sellers and the Purchaser agree that, prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove from Acquired Companies’ files and records, including electronic records and email, attorney-client privileged communications relating to the Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any efforts to sell the Acquired Companies to the Purchaser or any other Person.

(d)    The Purchaser acknowledge that it has consulted with counsel other than Baker McKenzie regarding the foregoing consents and waivers, that the consents and waivers are voluntary, have been considered carefully and that the consents and waivers are the result of fully-informed consent.

HollyFrontier to Acquire Sonneborn

DALLAS—(BUSINESS WIRE)—HollyFrontier Corporation (NYSE: HFC) (“HollyFrontier”) today announced that its subsidiary has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Sonneborn US Holdings Inc. and Sonneborn Coöperatief U.A. (collectively “Sonneborn”) for $655 million, including working capital with an estimated value of $72 million. HollyFrontier expects to fund the transaction with cash on hand, and anticipates the acquisition will be immediately accretive to HollyFrontier’s earnings per share, cash flow and EBITDA margins.

For more than 100 years, Sonneborn has been setting global industry standards by offering specialty products as one of the world’s largest dedicated suppliers of white oils, petrolatums and waxes. Many of the largest personal care, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food processing companies use Sonneborn’s products. With manufacturing facilities in North America and Europe, Sonneborn is a leading specialty hydrocarbon producer that offers this global reach combined with expertise and depth of experience.

With the addition of Sonneborn, HollyFrontier, itself, will become a leading global supplier of specialty products. Sonneborn’s strong brand recognition and diversified portfolio of products will complement HollyFrontier’s existing lubricants and specialty products business. Sonneborn has generated approximately $66 million of EBITDA over the 12-month period ended July 2018, representing an EBITDA margin of 18%. This acquisition will advance HollyFrontier’s downward integration strategy into high margin specialty products and significantly grow the Rack Forward business segment. Sonneborn strengthens HollyFrontier’s global footprint by increasing processing and blending capabilities in North America and Europe and expanding the global sales organization and distribution network. HollyFrontier has identified $20 million in potential annual synergies, including logistics and operations cost savings.

George Damiris, President and CEO of HollyFrontier, commented, “We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Sonneborn, with its strong global presence and quality portfolio of finished lubricants and specialty products. This transaction demonstrates our continued commitment to the finished lubricants business and is expected to bring outstanding value to our shareholders and to the customers and employees at both companies.”

This transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in 2019.

HollyFrontier was represented by Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz on this transaction. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to HollyFrontier on this transaction.

HollyFrontier has scheduled a conference call to discuss the acquisition on November 13, 2018 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time.

The participant dial in number is (855) 331-9676 and conference ID is 5790599.

Definitions Lubricant : A solvent neutral paraffinic product used in commercial heavy duty engine oils, passenger car oils and specialty products for industrial applications such as heat transfer, metalworking, rubber and other general process oil. Non GAAP measurements: We report certain financial measures that are not prescribed or authorized by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We discuss management's reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures above. Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described above, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income, or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated and/or presented differently than measures with the same or similar names that are reported by other companies, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others. Rack Backward: business segment of HF LSP that captures the value between feedstock cost and base oil market prices (transfer prices to rack forward). Rack Forward: business segment of HF LSP that captures the value between base oil market prices and product sales revenue from customers. BPD: the number of barrels per calendar day of crude oil or petroleum products. Debt-To-Capital: A measurement of a company's financial leverage, calculated as the company's long term debt divided by its total capital. Debt includes all long-term obligations. Total capital includes the company's debt and shareholders' equity. EBITDA: Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income plus (i) interest expense net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation, depletion and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation provided for under GAAP; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants. Our historical EBITDA is reconciled to net income under the section entitled “Reconciliation to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” in HollyFrontier Corporation’s 2017 10-K filed February 21, 2018. Expected EBITDA: is based on HollyFrontier Corporation’s projections for the newly acquired Sonneborn. Projections are based on historical EBITDA performance as reported by Sonneborn combined with the expectation of future potential synergy and optimization opportunites. We cannot provide a reconciliation of estimated EBITDA to estimated GAAP net income, which is the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to estimated EBITDA, without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty and impracticality of quantifying certain amounts that would be required to calculate projected GAAP net income, such as non-recurring items, foreign currency gains/losses, other non-cash adjustments and corporate expenses not allocated to business segments, such as taxes and financing costs. These amounts that would require unreasonable effort to quantify could be significant, such that the amount of projected GAAP net income would vary substantially from the amount of projected EBITDA. Free Cash Flow: Calculated by taking operating cash flow and subtracting capital expenditures.
