(b)                                  The Executive acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 9 by the Executive, and the Company, the Partnership or its subsidiaries shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 9 by seeking specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach.  Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Section 9 but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from the Executive and his agents.

(c)                                   Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein (or in any other agreement between the Executive and the Company) shall prevent the Executive from lawfully, and without obtaining prior authorization from the Company: (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) or any other governmental or regulatory agency, entity, or official(s) (collectively, “ Governmental Authorities ”) regarding a possible violation of any law; (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to an employee individually from any Governmental Authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any Governmental Authorities relating to a possible violation of law, including providing documents or other confidential

11.                                Successors .  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and permitted assigns and any such successor or permitted assignee shall be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes.

The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

ANNEX I

Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Provisions

Non-competition; Non-solicitation .

(a)                                  During the Term, and in the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason other than Executive’s death or a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause, then for a period of one (1) year following the Date of Termination (the “ Restrictive Period ”), the Executive shall be prohibited from working (as an employee, consultant, advisor, director or otherwise), engaging in, or acquiring or investing in, any business having assets engaged in the following businesses in New England and the other geographic areas in which the Company or any of its affiliates is conducting business as of the Date of Termination (the “ Restricted Businesses ”): (i) wholesale or retail marketing, sale, distribution and transportation of refined petroleum products, crude oil, renewable fuels (including ethanol and biofuels), and natural gas liquids (including ethane, butane, propane and condensates); (ii) the storage of refined petroleum products and/or any of the other products identified in clause (i) of this paragraph in connection with any of the activities described in said clause (i); (iii) the retail sale of convenience store items and sundries and related food service, whether or not related to the retail sale of refined petroleum products including, without limitation, gasoline; (iv) bunkering; and (v) any other business in which the Company or its affiliates (a) becomes engaged during the period Executive is employed by the Company or any of its affiliates, or (b) is preparing to become engaged as of the time that Executive’s employment with the Company or any of its affiliates ends and, with respect to parts (a) and (b) of this clause (v), the Executive has participated in or obtained Confidential Information about such business or anticipated business.

(b)                                  As further consideration for the covenants made by the Executive in part (a) of this Annex I, the Company agrees that, during the Restrictive Period (so long as the Executive’s employment does not terminate due to the Executive’s death or a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause), the Company will provide the Executive with a total payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Executive’s highest annualized Base Salary paid by the Company within the two years preceding the Date of Termination (the “ Garden Leave Payment ”), which Garden Leave Payment will be divided into twelve (12) substantially equal installments, with the first installment being paid on the Company’s first monthly pay date that follows the Date of Termination and the remaining eleven (11) installments being paid on the Company’s monthly pay dates that follow thereafter; provided, however , the Company shall have no obligation to provide Garden Leave Payments in the event that the Executive breaches any of the terms of part (a) of this Annex I.

(c)                                   During the Restrictive Period, the Executive also shall not directly or indirectly solicit any employees, contractors, vendors, suppliers or customers of the Company or any of its affiliates to cease to be employed by or otherwise do business with the Company or any of its affiliates, or to reduce the same, or to be employed or otherwise do business with any Restricted Business.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Annex I to the contrary, the Executive may own up to 3% of a publicly traded entity that is engaged in one or more of the Restricted Businesses.  If any court determines that any of the provisions of this Annex I are invalid or unenforceable, the

remainder of such provisions shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid provisions. If any court construes any of the provisions of this Annex I, or any part thereof, to be unreasonable because of the duration of such provision or the geographic scope thereof, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or restrict the geographic scope of such provision and to enforce such provision as so reduced or restricted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Annex I , nothing in this Annex I shall limit the Executive’s ability to perform services in any capacity or invest in any of the following: (I) money management firm; (II) investment partnership; (III) investment or private equity firm; or (IV) private equity or other investment fund; except that if any such firm, partnership or fund referenced in subsections (I) through (IV) contemplates or makes direct investments in the Partnership Group or in any Restricted Business, the Executive must recuse himself and may not personally, in any respect, be actively involved, actively participate, or directly invest, and must fully comply with the provisions of this Annex 1.

The Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that he had sufficient time (and at least ten business days) to consider the terms of this Annex I before entering into this Agreement.

Any restrictions on the Executive otherwise prohibited under this Annex I may be waived only by express written permission of the Conflicts Committee of the Board.

EXHIBIT A

Short-Term Annual Cash Incentive Plan

The Executive shall participate in (i) the 2019 short-term cash incentive plan described below, (ii) a 2020 and a 2021 short-term incentive plan, and (iii) in the event of a renewal term under the Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached, the Executive also shall participate in a 2022 STIP.

During the first calendar quarter of 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “ Compensation Committee ”) will establish (a) threshold financial metrics required to be met for any cash incentive amount to be awarded under the 2019 STIP in respect of calendar year 2019 (the “ financial metrics ”), and (b) a discretionary cash component for the amount of the cash incentive (if any) to be awarded under the 2019 STIP regardless of whether the financial metrics threshold are or are not met or exceeded.  The targets, metrics (including any thresholds) and discretionary component established by the Compensation Committee shall be set forth in a payout grid, a copy of which shall be provided to the Executive for his review and input as soon as possible.  The parties agree that the 2019 STIP design provides that, unless the parties otherwise agree, 50% of the cash incentive amounts (if any) earned for 2019 will be determined by the Compensation Committee based upon the Partnership’s achievement of the financial metrics, and 50% of the cash incentive amounts (if any) for 2019 will be determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.  Under the 2019 STIP, the Executive’s “award target” cash incentive amount is 100% of his Base Salary, and his 2019 maximum cash incentive amount is 200% of his Base Salary.

During the first calendar quarter of each year following 2019 in which this Agreement is in effect, the Compensation Committee shall establish (a) threshold financial metrics required to be met for any cash incentive amount to be awarded under the STIP in respect of calendar year, and (b) a discretionary cash component for the amount of the cash incentive (if any) that will be awarded under the STIP for such calendar year regardless of whether the financial metrics threshold are or are not met or exceeded.  The targets, metrics (including any thresholds) and discretionary component established by the Compensation Committee shall be set forth in a payout grid for the applicable year, a copy of which shall be provided to the Executive for his review and input. The STIP design for the applicable calendar year shall be developed by the Compensation Committee in consultation with its compensation consultant.

Awards under any STIP provided hereunder, if applicable, shall be paid within 2½ months of the end of the calendar year to which the STIP applies; provided , however, that if the Partnership has not completed its audited consolidated financial statements within 2½ months of the end of that fiscal year, the award shall be paid within 5 business days following completion of the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements for such fiscal year, but in no event later than September 30 of the year following the end of the applicable fiscal year; and further provided , that any such payment shall be made in a manner that is either exempt from, or in compliance with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “ Code ”) and any successor statute, and/or

guidance thereunder, and the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A and any successor regulation and guidance thereto (collectively, “ Section 409A ”).

EXHIBIT B

Methodology for Determining Availability of Awards

to Executive Officers under Long-Term Incentive Plan(s)

It is the Company’s intention to grant long-term incentive awards to the Company’s executive officers and certain other officers and employees on an annual basis, provided that the Partnership’s financial performance is satisfactory, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

In determining whether, and to what extent and amount, an award is available for an executive officer for a particular year, the Compensation Committee will use the methodology described below.

A.             The Compensation Committee will start with the then 5-year average of total direct compensation for the executive officer’s position across the peer group of companies developed by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant (the “Applicable TDC”).  This will be calculated by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant at the 10 th  percentile, the 25 th  percentile, the median, the average, the 75 th  percentile and the 90 th  percentile.

B.             The Compensation Committee will then subtract from the Applicable TDC:

(i)             The executive officer’s annual Base Salary for the year for which performance is being evaluated for the proposed award (the “Performance Year”); plus

(ii)            The greater of (a) the executive officer’s STIP target for the Performance Year, or (b) the executive officer’s earned STIP award in respect of the Performance Year; plus

(iii)           The sum of all amount(s) under any short-term bonus and/or other incentive plan(s) that were earned by the Executive for the Performance Year, which amounts shall not include: (a) any amounts included in Subsection B.(ii) above, (b) any amounts attributable to the June 2013 and August 2017 LTIP Unit grants to the Executive, or (c) any portion of the Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan Award granted to the Executive with respect to fiscal year 2017 on October 8, 2018.

The difference remaining after the subtraction from the Applicable TDC of the amounts described in Subsections B.(i) through B.(iii) above is the “Maximum Available Award Amount” for such executive officer under the long-term incentive plan in respect of the Performance Year.

C.             The Compensation Committee will compare the Partnership’s performance during the Performance Year against the performance of the Partnership’s peer group of companies for such year, and adjust the Maximum Available Award Amount for such executive officer to reflect the Partnership’s relative performance.  For example, if the Partnership’s performance is at the median level as compared against the peer group of companies, then the Compensation Committee would consider awarding the median amount of the executive officer’s Maximum Available Award Amount, taking into account the executive officer’s personal performance for such year.

D.             The terms of the long-term incentive award, including without limitation the form of award (cash, stock, phantom units or other), the vesting period and schedule, the form of grant agreement, etc., in all respects would be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole and exclusive discretion.

In all respects, the definition of “Change in Control” shall be interpreted to comply with Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “ Code ”) and any successor statute, and/or guidance thereunder, and the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A and any successor regulation and guidance thereto; provided, however, an interpretation in compliance with Section 409A of the Code shall not expand the definition of Change in Control in any way or cause an acquisition by the Slifkas to result in a Change in Control.

(iii)                                “ Constructive Termination ” means termination of this Agreement by the Executive as a result of any (A) substantial diminution, without the Executive’s written consent, in the Executive’s working conditions consisting of (1) a material reduction in the Executive’s duties and responsibilities, (2) any

(j)                                     Delayed Payments .  Notwithstanding any other provision with respect to the timing of payments under this Section 7, if, at the time of the Executive’s termination, the Executive is deemed to be a “specified employee”  (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto) of the Company, then only to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, any payments to which the Executive may become entitled under Section 7 as a result of his “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto) which are subject to Section 409A of the Code (and not otherwise exempt from its application) will be withheld until the first business day of the seventh month following the termination of the Executive’s employment, at which time the Executive shall be paid an aggregate amount equal to six months of payments otherwise due to the Executive under the terms of this Section 7, as applicable, plus (to the extent not prohibited by Section 409A of the Code) interest on such amounts at the then applicable prime rate of interest as established from time to time by Bank of America Corporation or its successor.  After the first business day of the seventh month following the termination of the Executive’s employment and continuing each month thereafter, the Executive shall be paid the regular payments otherwise due to the Executive in accordance with the terms of this Section 7, as applicable.

EXHIBIT A

Short-Term Annual Cash Incentive Plan

The Executive shall participate in (i) the 2019 short-term cash incentive plan described below, (ii) a 2020 and a 2021 short-term incentive plan, and (iii) in the event of a renewal term under the Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached, the Executive also shall participate in a 2022 STIP.

During the first calendar quarter of 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “ Compensation Committee ”) will establish (a) threshold financial metrics required to be met for any cash incentive amount to be awarded under the 2019 STIP in respect of calendar year 2019 (the “ financial metrics ”), and (b) a discretionary cash component for the amount of the cash incentive (if any) to be awarded under the 2019 STIP regardless of whether the financial metrics threshold are or are not met or exceeded.  The targets, metrics (including any thresholds) and discretionary component established by the Compensation Committee shall be set forth in a payout grid for the 2019 STIP. The 2019 STIP design provides that 50% of the cash incentive amounts (if any) earned for 2019 will be determined by the Compensation Committee based upon the Partnership’s achievement of the financial metrics, and 50% of the cash incentive amounts (if any) for 2019 will be determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.  Under the 2019 STIP, the Executive’s “award target” cash incentive amount is 100% of his Base Salary, and his 2019 maximum cash incentive amount is 200% of his Base Salary.

During the first calendar quarter of each year following 2019 in which this Agreement is in effect, the Compensation Committee shall establish (a) threshold financial metrics required to be met for any cash incentive amount to be awarded under the STIP in respect of calendar year, and (b) a discretionary cash component for the amount of the cash incentive (if any) that will be awarded under the STIP for such calendar year regardless of whether the financial metrics threshold are or are not met or exceeded.  The targets, metrics (including any thresholds) and discretionary component established by the Compensation Committee shall be set forth in a payout grid for the applicable year. The STIP design for the applicable calendar year shall be developed by the Compensation Committee in consultation with its compensation consultant.

Awards under any STIP provided hereunder, if applicable, shall be paid within 2½ months of the end of the calendar year to which the STIP applies; provided , however, that if the Partnership has not completed its audited consolidated financial statements within 2½ months of the end of that fiscal year, the award shall be paid within 5 business days following completion of the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements for such fiscal year, but in no event later than September 30 of the year following the end of the applicable fiscal year; and further provided , that any such payment shall be made in a manner that is either exempt from, or in compliance with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “ Code ”) and any successor statute, and/or guidance thereunder, and the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A and any successor regulation and guidance thereto (collectively, “ Section 409A ”).

EXHIBIT B

Methodology for Determining Availability of Awards

to Executive Officers under Long-Term Incentive Plan(s)

It is the Company’s intention to grant long-term incentive awards to the Company’s executive officers and certain other officers and employees on an annual basis, provided that the Partnership’s financial performance is satisfactory, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

In determining whether, and to what extent and amount, an award is available for an executive officer for a particular year, the Compensation Committee will use the methodology described below.

A.             The Compensation Committee will start with the then 5-year average of total direct compensation for the executive officer’s position across the peer group of companies developed by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant (the “Applicable TDC”).  This will be calculated by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant at the 10 th  percentile, the 25 th  percentile, the median, the average, the 75 th  percentile and the 90 th  percentile.

B.             The Compensation Committee will then subtract from the Applicable TDC:

(i)             The executive officer’s annual Base Salary for the year for which performance is being evaluated for the proposed award (the “Performance Year”); plus

(ii)            The greater of (a) the executive officer’s STIP target for the Performance Year, or (b) the executive officer’s earned STIP award in respect of the Performance Year; plus

(iii)           The sum of all amount(s) under any short-term bonus and/or other incentive plan(s) that were earned by the Executive for the Performance Year, which amounts shall not include: (a) any amounts included in Subsection B.(ii) above, (b) any amounts attributable to the June 2013 and August 2017 LTIP Unit grants to the Executive, or (c) any portion of the Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan Award granted to the Executive with respect to fiscal year 2017 on October 8, 2018.

The difference remaining after the subtraction from the Applicable TDC of the amounts described in Subsections B.(i) through B.(iii) above is the “Maximum Available Award Amount” for such executive officer under the long-term incentive plan in respect of the Performance Year.

C.             The Compensation Committee will compare the Partnership’s performance during the Performance Year against the performance of the Partnership’s peer group of companies for such year, and adjust the Maximum Available Award Amount for such executive officer to reflect the Partnership’s relative performance.  For example, if the

Partnership’s performance is at the median level as compared against the peer group of companies, then the Compensation Committee would consider awarding the median amount of the executive officer’s Maximum Available Award Amount, taking into account the executive officer’s personal performance for such year.

D.             The terms of the long-term incentive award, including without limitation the form of award (cash, stock, phantom units or other), the vesting period and schedule, the form of grant agreement, etc., in all respects would be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole and exclusive discretion.

(iii)                                “ Constructive Termination ” means termination of this Agreement by the Executive as a result of any (A) substantial diminution, without the Executive’s written consent, in the Executive’s working conditions consisting of (1) a material reduction in the Executive’s duties and responsibilities, (2) any

change in the reporting structure so that the Executive no longer reports solely to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or (3) a relocation of the Executive’s place of work further than forty (40) miles from Waltham, Massachusetts, or (B) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company.  To be able to terminate her employment with the Company for Constructive Termination, the Executive must provide notice to the Company of the existence of any of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence within 90 days of her becoming aware of the initial existence of such condition(s), and the Company must fail to remedy such condition(s) within 30 days of such notice.  In no event shall the Date of Termination in connection with a Constructive Termination occur any later than one year following the notice of the existence of the condition(s) constituting a Constructive Termination hereunder.  For purposes of clarification, Constructive Termination shall not include a change in reporting structure as a result of the Company becoming a subsidiary of an unrelated entity, including, without limitation, a change whereby the Executive is not the chief financial officer of the acquiring or parent entity or must report to the chief financial officer of a currently unaffiliated parent corporation or entity.

(g)                                   Notice of Termination .  Any termination or non-renewal (except due to the death of Executive) by the Company or the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto.   For purposes of this Agreement, a “ Notice of Termination ” shall mean a notice which (i) shall state the effective date of such termination, (ii) shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and (iii) shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.  Any such notice shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 20 hereof. Any notice of voluntary termination by the Executive or of termination without Cause by the Company shall be given 60 days in advance of such termination.

With respect to any compensation payable under this Agreement that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, references to the Executive’s Date of Termination or termination of employment (and variations thereof) shall be deemed to refer only to the Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations, applying the default terms thereof.

(j)                                     Delayed Payments .  Notwithstanding any other provision with respect to the timing of payments under this Section 7, if, at the time of the Executive’s termination, the Executive is deemed to be a “specified employee”  (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto) of the Company, then only to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, any payments to which the Executive may become entitled under Section 7 as a result of her “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto) which are subject to Section 409A of the Code (and not otherwise exempt from its application) will be withheld until the first business day of the seventh month following the termination of the Executive’s employment, at which time the Executive shall be paid an aggregate amount equal to six months of payments otherwise due to the Executive under the terms of this Section 7, as applicable, plus (to the extent not prohibited by Section 409A of the Code) interest on such amounts at the then applicable prime rate of interest as established from time to time by Bank of America Corporation or its successor.  After the first business day of the seventh month following the termination of the Executive’s employment and continuing each month thereafter, the Executive shall be paid the regular payments otherwise due to the Executive in accordance with the terms of this Section 7, as applicable.

(k)                                  Non-disparagement .  Each of the Company and the Executive agree not to make any disparaging comments or remarks, orally or in writing, about the other party following the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

8.                                       Section 409A .  The parties hereto intend that this Agreement comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulatory guidance thereunder.  If any provision provided herein may result in the imposition of an additional tax or penalty under the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, the Executive and the Company agree to amend any such provision to avoid imposition of any such additional tax, to the extent possible, in the manner that the Executive and the Company mutually agree is appropriate to comply with Section 409A of the Code; provided that, to the extent possible, any such amendment shall minimize any decrease in the payments or benefits to the Executive contemplated herein.

9.                                       Confidential Information; Unauthorized Disclosure .

(a)                                  During the Term and for the period ending two years following the Date of Termination, the Executive shall not, without the written consent of the Board or a person authorized thereby, disclose to any person, other than an employee of the Company, the Partnership or its subsidiaries or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by the Executive of her duties as Chief Financial Officer of the Company including serving as the Chief Financial Officer of the Partnership, any secret, confidential and/or proprietary information, knowledge or data obtained by her while in the employ of the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to the Company, the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries and their respective businesses, the disclosure of which she knows or should know will be damaging to the Company, the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries; provided however, that such information, knowledge or data shall not include (i) any information, knowledge or data known generally to the public (other than as a result of unauthorized disclosure by the Executive) or (ii) any information, knowledge or data which the Executive may be required to disclose by any applicable law, order, or judicial or administrative proceeding.

(b)                                  The Executive acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 9 by the Executive, and the Company, the Partnership or its subsidiaries shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 9 by seeking specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach.  Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Section 9 but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from the Executive and her agents.

(c)                                   Notwithstanding the foregoing,  nothing herein (or in any other agreement between the Executive and the Company) shall prevent the Executive from lawfully, and without obtaining prior authorization from the Company: (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) or any other governmental or regulatory agency, entity, or official(s) (collectively, “ Governmental Authorities ”) regarding a possible violation of any law; (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to an employee individually from any Governmental Authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any Governmental Authorities relating to a possible violation of law, including providing documents or other confidential information to Governmental Authorities; or (iv) receiving an award for information provided to the SEC or any other Governmental Authority. This Agreement shall not be construed or applied to require the Executive to obtain prior authorization from the Company before engaging in any of the foregoing conduct referenced in this Section 9(c), or to notify the Company of having engaged in any such conduct.  Further, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act, the Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is: (A) made (x) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (B) made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal; or (C) protected under the whistleblower provisions of applicable law.

11

by the Company for the Executive’s reporting of a suspected violation of law, the Executive may (i) disclose a trade secret to the Executive’s attorney and (ii) use the trade secret information in the court proceeding related to such lawsuit, in each case, if the Executive (A) files any document containing such trade secret under seal; and (B) does not otherwise disclose such trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

10.                                Payment Obligations Absolute .  Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Company’s obligation to pay the Executive the amounts and to make the arrangements provided herein shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company or the Partnership (including its affiliates) may have against her or anyone else.  All amounts payable by the Company shall be paid without notice or demand.  The Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Agreement, and except as provided in Section 7(c) above, the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of the Company’s obligations to make the payments and arrangements required to be made under this Agreement.

The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

ANNEX I

Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Provisions

Non-competition; Non-solicitation .

(a)                                  During the Term, and in the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason other than Executive’s death or a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause, then for a period of one (1) year following the Date of Termination (the “ Restrictive Period ”), the Executive shall be prohibited from working (as an employee, consultant, advisor, director or otherwise), engaging in, or acquiring or investing in, any business having assets engaged in the following businesses in New England and the other geographic areas in which the Company or any of its affiliates is conducting business as of the Date of Termination (the “ Restricted Businesses ”): (i) wholesale or retail marketing, sale, distribution and transportation of refined petroleum products, crude oil, renewable fuels (including ethanol and biofuels), and natural gas liquids (including ethane, butane, propane and condensates); (ii) the storage of refined petroleum products and/or any of the other products identified in clause (i) of this paragraph in connection with any of the activities described in said clause (i); (iii) the retail sale of convenience store items and sundries and related food service, whether or not related to the retail sale of refined petroleum products including, without limitation, gasoline; (iv) bunkering; and (v) any other business in which the Company or its affiliates (a) becomes engaged during the period Executive is employed by the Company or any of its affiliates, or (b) is preparing to become engaged as of the time that Executive’s employment with the Company or any of its affiliates ends and, with respect to parts (a) and (b) of this clause (v), the Executive has participated in or obtained Confidential Information about such business or anticipated business.

(b)                                  As further consideration for the covenants made by the Executive in part (a) of this Annex I, the Company agrees that, during the Restrictive Period (so long as the Executive’s employment does not terminate due to the Executive’s death or a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause), the Company will provide the Executive with a total payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Executive’s highest annualized Base Salary paid by the Company within the two years preceding the Date of Termination (the “ Garden Leave Payment ”), which Garden Leave Payment will be divided into twelve (12) substantially equal installments, with the first installment being paid on the Company’s first monthly pay date that follows the Date of Termination and the remaining eleven (11) installments being paid on the Company’s monthly pay dates that follow thereafter; provided, however , the Company shall have no obligation to provide Garden Leave Payments in the event that the Executive breaches any of the terms of part (a) of this Annex I .

(c)                                   During the Restrictive Period, the Executive also shall not directly or indirectly solicit any employees, contractors, vendors, suppliers or customers of the Company or any of its affiliates to cease to be employed by or otherwise do business with the Company or any of its affiliates, or to reduce the same, or to be employed or otherwise do business with any Restricted Business.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Annex I to the contrary, the Executive may own

EXHIBIT A

Short-Term Annual Cash Incentive Plan

The Executive shall participate in (i) the 2019 short-term cash incentive plan described below, (ii) a 2020 and a 2021 short-term incentive plan, and (iii) in the event of a renewal term under the Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached, the Executive also shall participate in a 2022 STIP.

During the first calendar quarter of 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “ Compensation Committee ”) will establish (a) threshold financial metrics required to be met for any cash incentive amount to be awarded under the 2019 STIP in respect of calendar year 2019 (the “ financial metrics ”), and (b) a discretionary cash component for the amount of the cash incentive (if any) to be awarded under the 2019 STIP regardless of whether the financial metrics threshold are or are not met or exceeded.  The targets, metrics (including any thresholds) and discretionary component established by the Compensation Committee shall be set forth in a payout grid for the 2019 STIP. The 2019 STIP design provides that 50% of the cash incentive amounts (if any) earned for 2019 will be determined by the Compensation Committee based upon the Partnership’s achievement of the financial metrics, and 50% of the cash incentive amounts (if any) for 2019 will be determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Under the 2019 STIP, the Executive’s “award target” cash incentive amount is 100% of her Base Salary, and her 2019 maximum cash incentive amount is 200% of her Base Salary.

During the first calendar quarter of each year following 2019 in which this Agreement is in effect, the Compensation Committee shall establish (a) threshold financial metrics required to be met for any cash incentive amount to be awarded under the STIP in respect of calendar year, and (b) a discretionary cash component for the amount of the cash incentive (if any) that will be awarded under the STIP for such calendar year regardless of whether the financial metrics threshold are or are not met or exceeded.  The targets, metrics (including any thresholds) and discretionary component established by the Compensation Committee shall be set forth in a payout grid for the applicable year. The STIP design for the applicable calendar year shall be developed by the Compensation Committee in consultation with its compensation consultant.

Awards under any STIP provided hereunder, if applicable, shall be paid within 2½ months of the end of the calendar year to which the STIP applies; provided , however, that if the Partnership has not completed its audited consolidated financial statements within 2½ months of the end of that fiscal year, the award shall be paid within 5 business days following completion of the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements for such fiscal year, but in no event later than September 30 of the year following the end of the applicable fiscal year; and further provided , that any such payment shall be made in a manner that is either exempt from, or in compliance with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “ Code ”) and any successor statute, and/or guidance thereunder, and the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A and any successor regulation and guidance thereto (collectively, “ Section 409A ”).

EXHIBIT B

Methodology for Determining Availability of Awards

to Executive Officers under Long-Term Incentive Plan(s)

It is the Company’s intention to grant long-term incentive awards to the Company’s executive officers and certain other officers and employees on an annual basis, provided that the Partnership’s financial performance is satisfactory, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

In determining whether, and to what extent and amount, an award is available for an executive officer for a particular year, the Compensation Committee will use the methodology described below.

A.             The Compensation Committee will start with the then 5-year average of total direct compensation for the executive officer’s position across the peer group of companies developed by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant (the “Applicable TDC”).  This will be calculated by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant at the 10 th  percentile, the 25 th  percentile, the median, the average, the 75 th  percentile and the 90 th  percentile.

B.             The Compensation Committee will then subtract from the Applicable TDC:

(i)             The executive officer’s annual Base Salary for the year for which performance is being evaluated for the proposed award (the “Performance Year”); plus

(ii)            The greater of (a) the executive officer’s STIP target for the Performance Year, or (b) the executive officer’s earned STIP award in respect of the Performance Year; plus

(iii)           The sum of all amount(s) under any short-term bonus and/or other incentive plan(s) that were earned by the Executive for the Performance Year, which amounts shall not include: (a) any amounts included in Subsection B.(ii) above, (b) any amounts attributable to the June 2013 and August 2017 LTIP Unit grants to the Executive, or (c) any portion of the Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan Award granted to the Executive with respect to fiscal year 2017 on October 8, 2018.

The difference remaining after the subtraction from the Applicable TDC of the amounts described in Subsections B.(i) through B.(iii) above is the “Maximum Available Award Amount” for such executive officer under the long-term incentive plan in respect of the Performance Year.

C.             The Compensation Committee will compare the Partnership’s performance during the Performance Year against the performance of the Partnership’s peer group of companies for such year, and adjust the Maximum Available Award Amount for such executive officer to reflect the Partnership’s relative performance.  For example, if the

Partnership’s performance is at the median level as compared against the peer group of companies, then the Compensation Committee would consider awarding the median amount of the executive officer’s Maximum Available Award Amount, taking into account the executive officer’s personal performance for such year.

D.             The terms of the long-term incentive award, including without limitation the form of award (cash, stock, phantom units or other), the vesting period and schedule, the form of grant agreement, etc., in all respects would be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole and exclusive discretion.

(b)                                  As further consideration for the covenants made by the Executive in part (a) of this Annex I, the Company agrees that, during the Restrictive Period (so long as the Executive’s employment does not terminate due to the Executive’s death or a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause), the Company will provide the Executive with a total payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Executive’s highest annualized Base Salary paid by the Company within the two years preceding the Date of Termination (the “ Garden Leave Payment ”), which Garden Leave Payment will be divided into twelve (12) substantially equal installments, with the first installment being paid on the Company’s first monthly pay date that follows the Date of Termination and the remaining eleven (11) installments being paid on the Company’s monthly pay dates that follow thereafter; provided, however , the Company shall have no obligation to provide Garden Leave Payments in the event that the Executive breaches any of the terms of part (a) of this Annex I .

(c)                                   During the Restrictive Period, the Executive also shall not directly or indirectly solicit any employees, contractors, vendors, suppliers or customers of the Company or any of its affiliates to cease to be employed by or otherwise do business with the Company or any of its affiliates, or to reduce the same, or to be employed or otherwise do business with any Restricted Business.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Annex I to the contrary, the Executive may own

EXHIBIT A

Short-Term Annual Cash Incentive Plan

The Executive shall participate in (i) the 2019 short-term cash incentive plan described below, (ii) a 2020 and a 2021 short-term incentive plan, and (iii) in the event of a renewal term under the Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached, the Executive also shall participate in a 2022 STIP.

During the first calendar quarter of 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Compensation Committee ”) will establish (a) threshold financial metrics required to be met for any cash incentive amount to be awarded under the 2019 STIP in respect of calendar year 2019 (the “ financial metrics ”), and (b) a discretionary cash component for the amount of the cash incentive (if any) to be awarded under the 2019 STIP regardless of whether the financial metrics threshold are or are not met or exceeded.  The targets, metrics (including any thresholds) and discretionary component established by the Compensation Committee shall be set forth in a payout grid, [a copy of which shall be provided to the Executive for his review as soon as possible.]  The parties agree that the 2019 STIP design provides that, unless the parties otherwise agree, 50% of the cash incentive amounts (if any) earned for 2019 will be determined by the Compensation Committee based upon the Partnership’s achievement of the financial metrics, and 50% of the cash incentive amounts (if any) for 2019 will be determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.  Under the 2019 STIP, the Executive’s “award target” cash incentive amount is 100% of his Base Salary, and his 2019 maximum cash incentive amount is 200% of his Base Salary.

During the first calendar quarter of each year following 2019 in which this Agreement is in effect, the Compensation Committee shall establish (a) threshold financial metrics required to be met for any cash incentive amount to be awarded under the STIP in respect of calendar year, and (b) a discretionary cash component for the amount of the cash incentive (if any) that will be awarded under the STIP for such calendar year regardless of whether the financial metrics threshold are or are not met or exceeded.  The targets, metrics (including any thresholds) and discretionary component established by the Compensation Committee shall be set forth in a payout grid for the applicable year, [a copy of which shall be provided to the Executive for his review.] The STIP design for the applicable calendar year shall be developed by the Compensation Committee in consultation with its compensation consultant.

Awards under any STIP provided hereunder, if applicable, shall be paid within 2½ months of the end of the calendar year to which the STIP applies; provided , however, that if the Partnership has not completed its audited consolidated financial statements within 2½ months of the end of that fiscal year, the award shall be paid within 5 business days following completion of the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements for such fiscal year, but in no event later than September 30 of the year following the end of the applicable fiscal year; and further provided , that any such payment shall be made in a manner that is either exempt from, or in compliance with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “ Code ”) and any successor statute, and/or guidance thereunder, and the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A and any successor regulation and guidance thereto (collectively, “ Section 409A ”).

EXHIBIT B

Methodology for Determining Availability of Awards

to Executive Officers under Long-Term Incentive Plan(s)

It is the Company’s intention to grant long-term incentive awards to the Company’s executive officers and certain other officers and employees on an annual basis, provided that the Partnership’s financial performance is satisfactory, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

In determining whether, and to what extent and amount, an award is available for an executive officer for a particular year, the Compensation Committee will use the methodology described below.

A.             The Compensation Committee will start with the then 5-year average of total direct compensation for the executive officer’s position across the peer group of companies developed by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant (the “Applicable TDC”).  This will be calculated by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant at the 10 th  percentile, the 25 th  percentile, the median, the average, the 75 th  percentile and the 90 th  percentile.

B.             The Compensation Committee will then subtract from the Applicable TDC:

(i)             The executive officer’s annual Base Salary for the year for which performance is being evaluated for the proposed award (the “Performance Year”); plus

(ii)            The greater of (a) the executive officer’s STIP target for the Performance Year, or (b) the executive officer’s earned STIP award in respect of the Performance Year; plus

(iii)           The sum of all amount(s) under any short-term bonus and/or other incentive plan(s) that were earned by the Executive for the Performance Year, which amounts shall not include: (a) any amounts included in Subsection B.(ii) above, (b) any amounts attributable to the June 2013 and August 2017 LTIP Unit grants to the Executive, or (c) any portion of the Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan Award granted to the Executive with respect to fiscal year 2017 on October 8, 2018.

The difference remaining after the subtraction from the Applicable TDC of the amounts described in Subsections B.(i) through B.(iii) above is the “Maximum Available Award Amount” for such executive officer under the long-term incentive plan in respect of the Performance Year.

C.             The Compensation Committee will compare the Partnership’s performance during the Performance Year against the performance of the Partnership’s peer group of companies for such year, and adjust the Maximum Available Award Amount for such executive officer to reflect the Partnership’s relative performance.  For example, if the

Partnership’s performance is at the median level as compared against the peer group of companies, then the Compensation Committee would consider awarding the median amount of the executive officer’s Maximum Available Award Amount, taking into account the executive officer’s personal performance for such year.

D.             The terms of the long-term incentive award, including without limitation the form of award (cash, stock, phantom units or other), the vesting period and schedule, the form of grant agreement, etc., in all respects would be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole and exclusive discretion.

(iii)                                “ Constructive Termination ” means termination of this Agreement by the Executive as a result of any (A) substantial diminution, without the Executive’s written consent, in the Executive’s working conditions consisting of (1) a material reduction in the Executive’s duties and responsibilities, (2) any change in the reporting structure so that the Executive no longer reports solely to the Chief Operating Officer of the Company, his successor, or the President and CEO of the Company, or (3) a relocation of the Executive’s place of work further than forty (40) miles from Waltham, Massachusetts, or (B) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company.  To be able to terminate his employment with the Company for Constructive Termination, the Executive must provide notice to the Company of the existence of any of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence within 90 days of his becoming aware of the initial existence of such condition(s), and the Company must fail to remedy such condition(s) within 30 days of such notice.  In no event shall the Date of Termination in connection with a Constructive Termination occur any later than one year following the notice of the existence of the condition(s) constituting a Constructive Termination hereunder.

(i)                                      Delayed Payments .  Notwithstanding any other provision with respect to the timing of payments under this Section 7, if, at the time of the Executive’s termination, the Executive is deemed to be a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto) of the Company, then only to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, any payments to which the Executive may become entitled under Section 7 as a result of his “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto) which are subject to Section 409A of the Code (and not otherwise exempt from its application) will be withheld until the first business day of the seventh month following the termination of the Executive’s employment, at which time the Executive shall be paid an aggregate amount equal to six months of payments otherwise due to the Executive under the terms of this Section 7, as applicable, plus (to the extent not prohibited by Section 409A of the Code) interest on such amounts at the then applicable prime rate of interest as established from time to time by Bank of America Corporation or its successor.  After the first business day of the seventh month following the termination of the Executive’s employment and continuing each month thereafter, the Executive shall be paid the regular payments otherwise due to the Executive in accordance with the terms of this Section 7, as applicable.

(b)                                  The Executive acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 9 by the Executive, and the Company, the Partnership or its subsidiaries shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 9 by seeking specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach.  Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Section 9 but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from the Executive and his agents.

(c)                                   Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein (or in any other agreement between the Executive and the Company) shall prevent the Executive from lawfully, and without obtaining prior authorization from the Company: (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) or any other governmental or regulatory agency, entity, or official(s) (collectively, “ Governmental Authorities ”) regarding a possible violation of any law; (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to an employee individually from any Governmental Authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any Governmental Authorities relating to a possible violation of law, including providing documents or other confidential information to Governmental Authorities; or (iv) receiving an award for information provided to the SEC or any other Governmental Authority.

11

The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

(b)                                  As further consideration for the covenants made by the Executive in part (a) of this Annex I, the Company agrees that, during the Restrictive Period (so long as the Executive’s employment does not terminate due to the Executive’s death or a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause), the Company will provide the Executive with a total payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Executive’s highest annualized Base Salary paid by the Company within the two years preceding the Date of Termination (the “ Garden Leave Payment ”), which Garden Leave Payment will be divided into twelve (12) substantially equal installments, with the first installment being paid on the Company’s first monthly pay date that follows the Date of Termination and the remaining eleven (11) installments being paid on the Company’s monthly pay dates that follow thereafter; provided, however , the Company shall have no obligation to provide Garden Leave Payments in the event that the Executive breaches any of the terms of part (a) of this Annex I .

(c)                                   During the Restrictive Period, the Executive also shall not directly or indirectly solicit any employees, contractors, vendors, suppliers or customers of the Company or any of its affiliates to cease to be employed by or otherwise do business with the Company or any of its affiliates, or to reduce the same, or to be employed or otherwise do business with any Restricted Business.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Annex I to the contrary, the Executive may own

EXHIBIT A

Short-Term Annual Cash Incentive Plan

The Executive shall participate in (i) the 2019 short-term cash incentive plan described below, (ii) a 2020 and a 2021 short-term incentive plan, and (iii) in the event of a renewal term under the Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached, the Executive also shall participate in a 2022 STIP.

During the first calendar quarter of 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “ Compensation Committee ”) will establish (a) threshold financial metrics required to be met for any cash incentive amount to be awarded under the 2019 STIP in respect of calendar year 2019 (the “ financial metrics ”), and (b) a discretionary cash component for the amount of the cash incentive (if any) to be awarded under the 2019 STIP regardless of whether the financial metrics threshold are or are not met or exceeded.  The targets, metrics (including any thresholds) and discretionary component established by the Compensation Committee shall be set forth in a payout grid for the 2019 STIP, a copy of which shall be provided to the Executive for his review and input as soon as possible. The 2019 STIP design provides that 50% of the cash incentive amounts (if any) earned for 2019 will be determined by the Compensation Committee based upon the Partnership’s achievement of the financial metrics, and 50% of the cash incentive amounts (if any) for 2019 will be determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.  Under the 2019 STIP, the Executive’s “award target” cash incentive amount is $335,000.00, and his 2019 maximum cash incentive amount is 200% of his award target amount.

During the first calendar quarter of each year following 2019 in which this Agreement is in effect, the Compensation Committee shall establish (a) threshold financial metrics required to be met for any cash incentive amount to be awarded under the STIP in respect of calendar year, and (b) a discretionary cash component for the amount of the cash incentive (if any) that will be awarded under the STIP for such calendar year regardless of whether the financial metrics threshold are or are not met or exceeded.  The targets, metrics (including any thresholds) and discretionary component established by the Compensation Committee shall be set forth in a payout grid for the applicable year, a copy of which shall be provided to the Executive for his review and input. The STIP design for the applicable calendar year shall be developed by the Compensation Committee in consultation with its compensation consultant.

Awards under any STIP provided hereunder, if applicable, shall be paid within 2½ months of the end of the calendar year to which the STIP applies; provided , however, that if the Partnership has not completed its audited consolidated financial statements within 2½ months of the end of that fiscal year, the award shall be paid within 5 business days following completion of the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements for such fiscal year, but in no event later than September 30 of the year following the end of the applicable fiscal year; and further provided , that any such payment shall be made in a manner that is either exempt from, or in compliance with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “ Code ”) and any successor statute, and/or guidance thereunder, and the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A and any successor regulation and guidance thereto (collectively, “ Section 409A ”).

EXHIBIT B

Methodology for Determining Availability of Awards

to Executive Officers under Long-Term Incentive Plan(s)

It is the Company’s intention to grant long-term incentive awards to the Company’s executive officers and certain other officers and employees on an annual basis, provided that the Partnership’s financial performance is satisfactory, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

In determining whether, and to what extent and amount, an award is available for an executive officer for a particular year, the Compensation Committee will use the methodology described below.

A.             The Compensation Committee will start with the then 5-year average of total direct compensation for the executive officer’s position across the peer group of companies developed by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant (the “Applicable TDC”).  This will be calculated by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant at the 10 th  percentile, the 25 th  percentile, the median, the average, the 75 th  percentile and the 90 th  percentile.

B.             The Compensation Committee will then subtract from the Applicable TDC:

(i)                                    The executive officer’s annual Base Salary for the year for which performance is being evaluated for the proposed award (the “Performance Year”); plus

(ii)                                 The greater of (a) the executive officer’s STIP target for the Performance Year, or (b) the executive officer’s earned STIP award in respect of the Performance Year; plus

(iii)                              The sum of all amount(s) under any short-term bonus and/or other incentive plan(s) that were earned by the Executive for the Performance Year, which amounts shall not include: (a) any amounts included in Subsection B.(ii) above, (b) any amounts attributable to the June 2013 and August 2017 LTIP Unit grants to the Executive, or (c) any portion of the Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan Award granted to the Executive with respect to fiscal year 2017 on October 8, 2018.

The difference remaining after the subtraction from the Applicable TDC of the amounts described in Subsections B.(i) through B.(iii) above is the “Maximum Available Award Amount” for such executive officer under the long-term incentive plan in respect of the Performance Year.

C.             The Compensation Committee will compare the Partnership’s performance during the Performance Year against the performance of the Partnership’s peer group of companies for such year, and adjust the Maximum Available Award Amount for such executive officer to reflect the Partnership’s relative performance.  For example, if the

Partnership’s performance is at the median level as compared against the peer group of companies, then the Compensation Committee would consider awarding the median amount of the executive officer’s Maximum Available Award Amount, taking into account the executive officer’s personal performance for such year.

D.             The terms of the long-term incentive award, including without limitation the form of award (cash, stock, phantom units or other), the vesting period and schedule, the form of grant agreement, etc., in all respects would be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole and exclusive discretion.

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein (or in any other agreement between the Executive and the Company) shall prevent the Executive from lawfully, and without obtaining prior authorization from the Company: (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) or any other governmental or regulatory agency, entity, or official(s) (collectively, “ Governmental Authorities ”) regarding a possible violation of any law; (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to an employee individually from any Governmental Authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any Governmental Authorities relating to a possible violation of law, including providing documents or other confidential information to Governmental Authorities; or (iv) receiving an award for information provided to the SEC or any other Governmental Authority.

In the event the Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for the Executive’s reporting of a suspected violation of law, the Executive may (i) disclose a trade secret to the Executive’s attorney and (ii) use the trade secret information in the court proceeding related to such lawsuit, in each case, if the Executive (A) files any document containing such trade secret under seal; and (B) does not otherwise disclose such trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

(a)           During the Term, and in the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason other than Executive’s death or a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause, then for a period of one (1) year following the Date of Termination (the “ Restrictive Period ”), the Executive shall be prohibited from working (as an employee, consultant, advisor, director or otherwise), engaging in, or acquiring or investing in, any business having assets engaged in the following businesses in New England and the other geographic areas in which the Company or any of its affiliates is conducting business as of the Date of Termination (the “ Restricted Businesses ”): (i) wholesale or retail marketing, sale, distribution and transportation of refined petroleum products, crude oil, renewable fuels (including ethanol and biofuels), and natural gas liquids (including ethane, butane, propane and condensates); (ii) the storage of refined petroleum products and/or any of the other products identified in clause (i) of this paragraph in connection with any of the activities described in said clause (i); (iii) the retail sale of convenience store items and sundries and related food service, whether or not related to the retail sale of refined petroleum products including, without limitation, gasoline; (iv) bunkering; and (v) any other business in which the Company or its affiliates (a) becomes engaged during the period Executive is employed by the Company or any of its affiliates, or (b) is preparing to become engaged as of the time that Executive’s employment with the Company or any of its affiliates ends and, with respect to parts (a) and (b) of this clause (v), the Executive has participated in or obtained Confidential Information about such business or anticipated business.

(b)           As further consideration for the covenants made by the Executive in part (a) of this Annex I, the Company agrees that, during the Restrictive Period (so long as the Executive’s employment does not terminate due to the Executive’s death or a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause), the Company will provide the Executive with a total payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Executive’s highest annualized Base Salary paid by the Company within the two years preceding the Date of Termination (the “ Garden Leave Payment ”), which Garden Leave Payment will be divided into twelve (12) substantially equal installments, with the first installment being paid on the Company’s first monthly pay date that follows the Date of Termination and the remaining eleven (11) installments being paid on the Company’s monthly pay dates that follow thereafter; provided, however , the Company shall have no obligation to provide Garden Leave Payments in the event that the Executive breaches any of the terms of part (a) of this Annex I .

(c)           During the Restrictive Period, the Executive also shall not directly or indirectly solicit any employees, contractors, vendors, suppliers or customers of the Company or any of its affiliates to cease to be employed by or otherwise do business with the Company or any of its affiliates, or to reduce the same, or to be employed or otherwise do business with any Restricted Business.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Annex I to the contrary, the Executive may own

EXHIBIT A

Short-Term Annual Cash Incentive Plan

The Executive shall participate in (i) the 2019 short-term cash incentive plan described below, (ii) a 2020 and a 2021 short-term incentive plan, and (iii) in the event of a renewal term under the Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached, the Executive also shall participate in a 2022 STIP.

During the first calendar quarter of 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “ Compensation Committee ”) will establish (a) threshold financial metrics required to be met for any cash incentive amount to be awarded under the 2019 STIP in respect of calendar year 2019 (the “ financial metrics ”), and (b) a discretionary cash component for the amount of the cash incentive (if any) to be awarded under the 2019 STIP regardless of whether the financial metrics threshold are or are not met or exceeded. The targets, metrics (including any thresholds) and discretionary component established by the Compensation Committee shall be set forth in a payout grid for the 2019 STIP. The 2019 STIP design provides that 50% of the cash incentive amounts (if any) earned for 2019 will be determined by the Compensation Committee based upon the Partnership’s achievement of the financial metrics, and 50% of the cash incentive amounts (if any) for 2019 will be determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.  Under the 2019 STIP, the Executive’s “award target” cash incentive amount is $200,000.00, and his 2019 maximum cash incentive amount is 200% of his award target amount.

During the first calendar quarter of each year following 2019 in which this Agreement is in effect, the Compensation Committee shall establish (a) threshold financial metrics required to be met for any cash incentive amount to be awarded under the STIP in respect of calendar year, and (b) a discretionary cash component for the amount of the cash incentive (if any) that will be awarded under the STIP for such calendar year regardless of whether the financial metrics threshold are or are not met or exceeded.  The targets, metrics (including any thresholds) and discretionary component established by the Compensation Committee shall be set forth in a payout grid for the applicable year. The STIP design for the applicable calendar year shall be developed by the Compensation Committee in consultation with its compensation consultant.

Awards under any STIP provided hereunder, if applicable, shall be paid within 2½ months of the end of the calendar year to which the STIP applies; provided , however, that if the Partnership has not completed its audited consolidated financial statements within 2½ months of the end of that fiscal year, the award shall be paid within 5 business days following completion of the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements for such fiscal year, but in no event later than September 30 of the year following the end of the applicable fiscal year; and further provided , that any such payment shall be made in a manner that is either exempt from, or in compliance with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “ Code ”) and any successor statute, and/or guidance thereunder, and the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A and any successor regulation and guidance thereto (collectively, “ Section 409A ”).

EXHIBIT B

Methodology for Determining Availability of Awards

to Executive Officers under Long-Term Incentive Plan(s)

It is the Company’s intention to grant long-term incentive awards to the Company’s executive officers and certain other officers and employees on an annual basis, provided that the Partnership’s financial performance is satisfactory, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

In determining whether, and to what extent and amount, an award is available for an executive officer for a particular year, the Compensation Committee will use the methodology described below.

A.             The Compensation Committee will start with the then 5-year average of total direct compensation for the executive officer’s position across the peer group of companies developed by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant (the “Applicable TDC”).  This will be calculated by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant at the 10 th  percentile, the 25 th  percentile, the median, the average, the 75 th  percentile and the 90 th  percentile.

B.             The Compensation Committee will then subtract from the Applicable TDC:

(i)                                    The executive officer’s annual Base Salary for the year for which performance is being evaluated for the proposed award (the “Performance Year”); plus

(ii)                                 The greater of (a) the executive officer’s STIP target for the Performance Year, or (b) the executive officer’s earned STIP award in respect of the Performance Year; plus

(iii)                              The sum of all amount(s) under any short-term bonus and/or other incentive plan(s) that were earned by the Executive for the Performance Year, which amounts shall not include: (a) any amounts included in Subsection B.(ii) above, (b) any amounts attributable to the June 2013 and August 2017 LTIP Unit grants to the Executive, or (c) any portion of the Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan Award granted to the Executive with respect to fiscal year 2017 on October 8, 2018.

The difference remaining after the subtraction from the Applicable TDC of the amounts described in Subsections B.(i) through B.(iii) above is the “Maximum Available Award Amount” for such executive officer under the long-term incentive plan in respect of the Performance Year.

C.             The Compensation Committee will compare the Partnership’s performance during the Performance Year against the performance of the Partnership’s peer group of companies for such year, and adjust the Maximum Available Award Amount for such executive officer to reflect the Partnership’s relative performance.  For example, if the

Partnership’s performance is at the median level as compared against the peer group of companies, then the Compensation Committee would consider awarding the median amount of the executive officer’s Maximum Available Award Amount, taking into account the executive officer’s personal performance for such year.

D.             The terms of the long-term incentive award, including without limitation the form of award (cash, stock, phantom units or other), the vesting period and schedule, the form of grant agreement, etc., in all respects would be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole and exclusive discretion.
