WHEREAS, the parties hereto understand and agree that the Federal Trade Commission order dated July 10, 1984 requires Texaco to “divest, absolutely and in good faith” the Assets which are the subject of the above-mentioned agreements, including the “Getty” brand name and trademark and that the Federal Trade Commission order dated January 17, 1985 approved the transfer and assignment of the Assets and the Trademarks (as such term is defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) to Power Test and the Realty Company pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Trademark License Agreement;

the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Trademark License Agreement, the Product Supply Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties hereto; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto further understand and agree that the transfer of the Trademarks to Power Test pursuant to Paragraph 17 of the Trademark License Agreement will be, and it is their intention to construe it as, an event which would make termination of any franchise or franchise relationship between the parties hereto reasonable if it were ever determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such a franchise or franchise relationship arose.

1. In order to effectuate the intent of the parties hereto that no franchise or franchise relationship exists or has ever existed between the parties hereto, it is hereby expressly agreed that on July 11, 1985, at 12:01 a.m. (New York Time), the franchise and/or franchise relationship, if any, between Texaco and Power Test and/or Realty Company, GOC and Power Test and/or Realty Company, or TRMI and Power Test and/or Realty Company which arose or arises out of any rights or obligations contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Trademark License Agreement and/or the Product Supply Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties hereto shall be terminated.
2. Power Test and Realty Company acknowledge and agree that this Mutual Cancellation Agreement and its terms and conditions shall be binding on any entity nominated or designated by Power Test to purchase Inventory pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and/or petroleum products pursuant to the Product Supply Agreement.
3. Nothing contained in this Mutual Cancellation Agreement shall relieve any party hereto of its obligation to perform under any agreement, or modify the terms or conditions of any other agreement.

Exhibit P to Exhibit 10.3 Form of Trademark License Agreement
TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is effective this 1st day of February, 1985 by and between TEXACO INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with offices at 2000 Westchester Avenue, White Plains, N.Y. 10650 ("Texaco"), GETTY OIL COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with offices at 3810 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90054 ("Licensor"), TEXACO REFINING AND MARKETING INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with offices at 1111 Rusk Avenue, Houston, Texas 77002 and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Licensor ("TRMI") (formerly known as Getty Refining and Marketing Company ("GRMC")), and POWER TEST CORP., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with offices at 175 Sunnyside Boulevard, Plainview, New York 11803 ("User").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Texaco has acquired ownership of Licensor including but not limited to all petroleum marketing operations of Licensor through its wholly-owned subsidiary TRMI in the United States and Licensor is now an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Texaco; and
WHEREAS, Licensor is the owner of the trademark and trade name GETTY and variations thereof in the United States for petroleum and other products and other marks for petroleum products, as well as registrations therefor, all as set forth in Schedule A hereto (collectively the "Trademarks" ) ; and
WHEREAS, Texaco and User have entered into a Memorandum of Agreement dated January 27, 1984 whereby Texaco agreed to cause Licensor, as its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, to sell and User agreed to purchase the petroleum marketing operations of Licensor in specified jurisdictions of the United States; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of the Memorandum of Agreement, Texaco, Licensor, GRMC and User have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 21, 1984 (the "Purchase Agreement"), regarding the purchase by User of the petroleum marketing operations of Licensor in specified jurisdictions of the United States; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Memorandum of Agreement, Texaco has agreed to cause Licensor to license to User the Trademarks in a specified geographic territory of the United States;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
| 1. | Licensor hereby grants to User, which Texaco and TRMI hereby acknowledge, a royalty free license, exclusive except as hereinafter provided, to use the Trademarks including combinations of words therewith for service stations and/or petroleum and other products heretofore sold at Getty service station outlets under the Trademarks and for advertisements and promotions thereof (the Trademarks, stations and products hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Business") in all states east of the Mississippi River and the District of Columbia with the exception of the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Louisiana and Minnesota (the "Territory"). |
| 2. | Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 17 and 18 hereof, User specifically recognizes Licensor's ownership of the Trademarks and will not at any time do any act or thing which will in any way impair the rights of Licensor in and to the Trademarks. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 17 and 18 hereof, use of the Trademarks by User shall inure to the benefit of Licensor. |
| 3. | User agrees that its conduct of the Business in respect of the services performed and products sold therein, and in respect of labelling, promotions and advertising at or relating to the Business, will be in accordance with the standards, specifications and instructions as presently established by Licensor in the Getty Service Station Manual, the Getty Oil Company Trademark Standards Manual, The Getty Oil Company Identification Standards Manual, the Getty Delaware Refinery Product Specifications, and the Getty Lubricants Manual copies of which have previously been delivered to User and marked as Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5, respectively, or such subsequent standards, specifications or instructions adopted by User which are reasonably comparable thereto and which have been approved by Licensor whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Licensor and User acknowledge that the continued operation of the Business as conducted on the date of this Agreement and the sale of gasoline and other petroleum products to be purchased by User from Texaco pursuant to the Product Supply Agreement of even date herewith (the "Supply Agreement") shall be deemed to constitute compliance with such standards, specifications and instructions of Licensor. Nothing herein shall prohibit User from purchasing petroleum products from sources other than Texaco, Licensor or TRMI. |
| 4. | For the purpose of verifying compliance with the conditions set forth in Paragraph 3 hereof, upon reasonable notice to and approval by User, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, Licensor shall have the right to enter and inspect specified service stations of User using the Trademarks; and shall have the right to receive from User, from time to time, upon request and without charge, a reasonable number of samples of the products sold by User under the Trademarks, as well as labels, promotional, advertising and sales materials, and the like on which the Trademarks appear. User shall submit to Licensor for prior approval, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, all new or revised labels which are a departure in any material respect from those presently used. Licensor shall have ten days from date of actual receipt within which to approve such new or revised labels. Failure to advise User within that period shall be deemed approval of the new or revised labels. |
| 5. | User agrees that upon notification by Licensor that use by it of the Trademarks is not in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 2, 3 or 4 hereof, User and Licensor shall immediately confer in an effort to resolve such dispute. In the event that such attempted resolution is unsuccessful, and within sixty (60) days after said notification User has not corrected the use objected to, the right of User to use the Trademarks with respect to the services or products concerned shall be automatically suspended; provided, however, that if the use of the Trademarks alleged not to be in compliance with Paragraph 2, 3 or 4 hereof is by a sublicensee of User, such suspension shall be held in abeyance so long as User is making a good faith effort to correct such alleged misuse by its sublicensees. User shall |
| | have the right to have any controversy or claim arising out of an allegation that User or a sublicensee is not in compliance with Paragraph 2, 3, or 4 hereof settled by arbitration. Upon commencement of such arbitration, said suspension shall be held in abeyance pending resolution of the arbitration. Said arbitration shall be in accordance with the Licensing Agreement Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. |
| 6. | Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 17 and 18 hereof, User expressly covenants that it will not claim or represent that through the use of the Trademarks under this license it has acquired any title in or ownership of the Trademarks, it being agreed and understood that there is extended herewith to User only permission to use the Trademarks subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Agreement. |
| 7. | User may grant sublicenses under this Agreement to retailers or wholesalers of petroleum and other products, including but not limited to service station retailers, jobbers and distributors, but only subject to all the terms and conditions of this exclusive license to User which shall be equally binding on the sublicensees. |
| 8. | User may not assign this Agreement to a third party or parties except in connection with the sale or transfer of substantially all of the petroleum marketing operations of Licensor purchased by User from Licensor located in the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, and |
| | Virginia and the District of Columbia, and then only with the prior approval of Licensor to the transfer of this Agreement, which prior approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. |
| 9. | This Agreement shall continue in force indefinitely unless terminated by mutual agreement of the parties, or unless revoked or terminated by operation of the provisions of the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Agreement at any time as a result of a material breach by the other party of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
| 10. | Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, or unless otherwise provided by operation of the Purchase Agreement or Paragraph 17 hereof, upon termination of this license, User shall discontinue immediately all use of the Trademarks, and of any other name or mark substantially similar thereto. |
| 11. | In the event of any conduct after the date hereof and prior to the date of transfer of the Trademarks to User pursuant to Paragraph 17 hereof by a third party in the Territory which User may consider to be an infringement of the Trademarks or to be an act of unfair competition involving the Trademarks, User shall notify Licensor promptly thereof and User shall have the right but not the obligation to institute and conduct a suit at its own expense against such third party for infringement or unfair competition. Licensor shall join in such suit as a party and shall cooperate at User's expense with User in the prosecution of such suit, and User shall reimburse Licensor for its reasonable attorney's fees and out-of-pocket expenses including traveling expenses. In any litigation involving the |
| | Trademarks, User and Licensor shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such litigation. |
| 12. | Licensor and Texaco each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold User harmless from and against any and all claims, demands or causes of action and any liability, cost, expense (including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred in defense of User) damage or loss which may be asserted against User arising from its use of the Trademarks as provided herein for alleged infringement of any other person's claimed right to use of the Trademarks during any period when Licensor or Texaco is or was the owner of the Trademarks, and User shall execute the papers necessary and shall testify in any such suit whenever required to do so by Licensor or Texaco and shall cooperate fully in the defense of such action, all, however, at the expense of Licensor with respect to travelling expenses, reasonable attorney's fees and similar out-of-pocket disbursements. The parties hereto agree that in the event that any lawsuits pertaining to the foregoing subject matter also allege violations of PMPA (as hereinafter defined) or any similar state or local government law, rule, or regulation, the indemnification provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement shall govern and supersede the foregoing. |
| 13. | User shall promptly notify Licensor of any claims, demands or causes of action brought against User and as to which Licensor has the obligation to indemnify User under Paragraph 12 hereof. |
| 14. | Except for licenses granted in the ordinary course of business to Franchisees (as hereinafter defined), Licensor represents and warrants that it has not granted, and agrees that it will not hereafter grant, licenses with respect to the Getty Marks in the Territory or in any part of its or Texaco's operations west of the Mississippi River, or in any part of the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Louisiana and Minnesota, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 19 hereof. |
| 15. | All obligations under this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their successors and assigns. |
| 16. | The parties hereto understand and agree that none of them has any intention or desire to create any franchise relationship between Texaco, Licensor or TRMI and User that is subject to the provisions of the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act ("PMPA") or any similar state or local government law by virtue of entering into this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Supply Agreement or any other agreement among the parties; provided, however, that nothing herein shall terminate, amend, affect or alter the existing agreements between Texaco and Leemilts Petroleum, Inc. The parties further understand and agree that the transfer of the Trademarks to User pursuant to Paragraph 17 hereof will be, and it is their intention to construe it as, an event which would make termination of any franchise or franchise relationship between the parties reasonable if it were ever determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such relationship arose. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties agree that not more than 12 days and not less than 8 days prior to such transfer the parties shall enter into a mutual cancellation of all franchise and/or franchise relationship rights. The effective |
| | date of such mutual cancellation shall be the date on which the Trademarks are transferred and assigned to User pursuant to Paragraph 17 hereof. The foregoing mutual cancellation is not intended by the parties hereto to affect any rights under PMPA or any similar state or local government law, rule or regulation of service station dealers or retailers, contract third-party dealers or retailers or jobbers or distributors (collectively, "Franchisees") whose lease, supply contract and/or distributor agreement is assigned to Buyer at the Closing under the Purchase Agreement. |
| 17. | The parties to this Agreement agree that effective as of 12:01 a.m. (New York time) on the day which is 160 days after the date hereof (or the first business day thereafter if such 160th day is not a business day) Texaco and Licensor shall transfer to User, and User shall accept, without additional compensation all of their right, title and interest in and to the Trademarks throughout the United States, subject only to the provisions of Paragraphs 18 and 19 hereof; provided, however, that if Texaco and Licensor should be prohibited or restrained from so transferring the Trademarks to User or from sending the notices provided for in Section 9(e) of the Purchase Agreement by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental agency or regulatory authority, such transfer shall be made within 100 days after the removal of such judicial or governmental prohibition or restraint, which the parties hereto agree to use their best efforts to have so removed. Each of the parties hereto agrees to enter into appropriate instruments or other documents as may be reasonably requested by one or more of |
| | the other parties in order to fully vest and record ownership of the Trademarks in User as provided in this Paragraph 17. |
| 18. | (a) During such time as Texaco or Licensor own the Trademarks, User may incorporate all or any part of its business under a name containing the word "Getty" so long as the name having the word "Getty" describes or indicates the geographical area in which User may use the Trademarks, including without limitation the name "Getty East"; provided, however, that until User acquires all right, title and interest in and to the Trademarks throughout the United States as provided in Paragraph 17 hereof, User may only incorporate a business using the name "Getty", or qualify to do business under such name, in a state or states contained in the Territory. |
| | (b) At such time that all right, title and interest in and to the Trademarks are transferred to User pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 17 hereof, (i) Texaco and Licensor agree to promptly change the name of all corporations or other business enterprises owned or controlled by them to a name or names not containing the word "Getty", except for the corporations listed on Schedule B hereto, or corporations organized after the date hereof and prior to the date of such transfer in businesses other than the marketing of petroleum products in the Territory (which corporations shall be deemed to be listed on Schedule B and prompt written notice of the organization of which Licensor agrees to furnish to User), so long as such corporations continue to conduct the business operations in which they were engaged on the date hereof or the date of incorporation, whichever is later, and (ii) User may use one or more names containing the word |
| | "Getty" for any one or more corporations or other business enterprises, or qualify to do business under any such names, in any state in the United States; provided that User may not so use or so qualify any names or names which are confusingly similar to any such names listed (or deemed to be listed) on Schedule B hereto so long as Texaco or Licensor continue to use such names in the business operations conducted by such corporations; provided further that, in the event that Texaco or Licensor (or any permitted assignee as set forth in the following sentence) should at any time discontinue the use of any of the names listed on Schedule B (as it may be be deemed to be revised from time to time), User may thereafter only use any such name at such time and in such manner so as not to create confusion with Licensor's prior use thereof. It is understood and agreed that any purchaser of any of the "Getty" corporations listed on Schedule B may by contract be permitted to use the name of such "Getty" corporation for a reasonable period of time after such purchase, but in no event shall such use be for more than three years and in no event shall such corporate name containing the word "Getty" be used by such purchaser in connection with the marketing of gasoline and middle distillates in the United States. |
| 19. | Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, the parties hereto agree that, for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of PMPA, (x) the Franchisees of the service stations in the Territory that TRMI is retaining pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (y), after the transfer of the Trademarks to User pursuant to Paragraph 17 hereof, the Franchisees of, or in respect of, service stations in the United States outside the Territory may continue to use the Trademarks under |
| | license from User to Texaco, Licensor and/or their affiliates on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement until the expiration of each such Franchisees' respective then current franchise agreement, or such later time as may be required by order of a court of competent jurisdiction (provided that Texaco shall have made a bona fide offer of a Texaco franchise to such Franchisee). |
| 20. | Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 5 hereof, in the event of a breach of this Agreement the parties acknowledge that recovery of damages will not be a sufficient legal remedy and agree that the aggrieved party shall be entitled to specific performance thereof in addition to other legal remedies to which it may be entitled. |
| 21. | Without any additional consideration, TRMI hereby transfers, assigns and releases to Licensor any and all right, title or interest in or to the Trademarks it may have acquired by virtue of its conduct of the petroleum marketing business of Licensor as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Licensor or otherwise. |
| 22. | All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall b deemed to have been duly given, if delivered in person, telegraphed, or mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid to the following: |

| | |
18. | DEFAULT; |
| | |
| REMEDIES: |
