RECITALS

A. On or about December 29, 2011, Class Representative filed a putative class action complaint alleging violations of Oregon’s Unlawful Trade Practices Act (“UTPA”). The Lawsuit is now known as Steven Scharfstein v. BP West Coast Products, LLC, Multnomah County Circuit Court Case No. 1112-17046, and the current operative complaint is the Fourth Amended Complaint.

B. In March 2012, BPWCP filed an answer, denying generally all material allegations therein, and raising various affirmative defenses.

4 143155236.12

C. In September 2013, the Court certified Class Representative’s claims for class treatment. The class included all consumers who, between January 1, 2011, and August 30, 2013, bought BP-branded gasoline, including gasoline plus additional items, at Oregon ARCO stations or Oregon am/pm minimarkets, who paid with a debit card and who were charged a debit-card fee. But excluded from the class are 2,441 former class members who filed valid opt-out forms and are specifically identified in Exhibit A to the Amended General Judgment, which is incorporated herein by reference. Also excluded from the class are attorneys for the class; jurors and alternate jurors in the Lawsuit; any judge who sits on the Lawsuit; any person who previously settled or had a court, arbitrator, or other legal authority decide a claim involving a dispute over debit-card fees charged by BPWCP, on or after January 1, 2011; and certain key employees of Kinsella Media and the Claims Administrator.

D. In January 2014, the Court presided over a jury trial on the claims contained in the Fourth Amended Complaint. At the end of that trial, the jury found that BPWCP had violated the UTPA and acted recklessly. The Court found BPWCP liable for statutory damages of $200 per Class Member.

E. In November 2014, the Claims Administrator provided notice by direct mail to the Class Members informing them that the Court had certified a class, of the outcome of trial, of the amount requested for attorney fees by Class Counsel, and that the deadline for opting out of the Class was January 23, 2015, and that the deadline for objections, including an opportunity to object to the potential amount of attorney fees, was January 29, 2015.

F. Then, in March 2015, the Court considered and overruled objections to the attorney fees and ordered that the Class Members pay to Class Counsel attorney fees in the amount of $60,277,860 from a common fund of the class damages (the “Common Fund Award”). The Court also approved an additional attorney-fee settlement between Class Counsel and BPWCP, under which BPWCP agreed to pay Class Counsel $1,585,600 for attorney fees and $292,892 in costs, and $6,121,508 to the Class Members, to be applied to the Common Fund Award.

G. During that same time, the Oregon Legislature amended the class-action rule in the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure. Pursuant to that amendment, “if the court finds that payment of all or part of the damages to class members [in a class action] is not practicable,” at least 50 percent of the unpaid amount is paid to the OSB for purposes of funding legal aid in Oregon, and the remaining unpaid amount is provided to “any entity for purposes that the court determined are directly related to the class action or directly beneficial to the interests of the class members.” ORCP 32 O.

H. Consistent with that amendment, in May 2016, the Court entered Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law Regarding Cy Pres Distribution of Unclaimed Damages (the “Cy Pres Order”). In the Cy Pres Order, the Court found that 330,271 Class Members had not filed a claim or opted out of the Lawsuit. Thus, the Court ultimately found that the amount of damages

5 143155236.12

awarded to but not claimed by the 330,271 absent Class Members was $66,054,200 (the “Unclaimed Amount”).

I. The Cy Pres Order concluded that the OSB should receive half of the Unclaimed Amount, and that the other half should go to OCF, which would hold the money in a separate component fund for a yet-to-be-formed consumer protection nonprofit organization and the University of Oregon for purposes of interdisciplinary studies on issues affecting consumers in Oregon.

J. On May 31, 2016, the Court entered the Amended General Judgment against BPWCP, consistent with its prior orders. In the Amended General Judgment, the Court found that there were 2,046,500 Class Members. Under the Amended General Judgment, the Court awarded the following amounts: (1) $282,967,940 to the Class Members for 1,716,229 valid claims; (2) $60,277,860 to Class Counsel, (3) $8,000,000 for the attorney-fee settlement ($1,878,492 directly to Class Counsel and $6,121,508 to the Class Members to offset the Common Fund Award); (4) $33,027,100 to the OSB; and (5) $33,027,100 to OCF. Additionally, those awards included the statutory post-judgment interest rate of 9 percent per annum.

K. BPWCP timely appealed the Court’s Amended General Judgment to the Oregon Court of Appeals. In lieu of posting a bond, the parties entered into an alternative security agreement, whereby BP Corporation North America, Inc., issued a guaranty and provided certain reports during the pendency of the appeal. On May 31, 2018, the Oregon Court of Appeals issued its opinion, affirming the judgment of the Court. BPWCP filed a petition for review with the Oregon Supreme Court, and that court denied the petition on November 8, 2018.

L. Now, BPWCP intends to file with the United States Supreme Court a petition for a writ of certiorari to the Oregon Court of Appeals. In so doing, BPWCP intends to argue that the statutory damages awarded under the UTPA in the Lawsuit are unconstitutionally excessive and in violation of federal due process.

M. The class intends to oppose BPWCP’s petition by arguing that BPWCP waived the excessiveness issue and federal due process defense by failing to timely raise those issues, and, in any event, the judgment is not unconstitutionally excessive and comports with due process.

N. On January 30, 2019, following good-faith, adversarial negotiations in mediation, Class Counsel and BPWCP reached a preliminary settlement of the issues asserted by BPWCP on appeal, subject to the entering into of a definitive settlement agreement acceptable to all Judgment Creditors and BPWCP.

O. Based on their investigation, Class Counsel believe that they will prevail on appeal, but also have concluded that the terms of this Agreement are fair, reasonable, adequate, and in the best interests of all the Class Members, and Class Counsel have agreed to settle all issues that could have been asserted on appeal against BPWCP under the terms of this

6

143155236.12

Agreement, after considering: (i) the benefits that the Class Members will receive from the Settlement described in this Agreement; (ii) the attendant risks of appeal; (iii) the difficulties, expense, and delays inherent in such appeal; (iv) the value of finality; (v) the belief that the Settlement is fair, reasonable, adequate, and in the best interest of the Class Members; and (vi) the desirability of permitting the Settlement contained in this Agreement.

P. BPWCP believes that it will prevail on appeal, and that its arguments thereto have substantial merit and BPWCP therefore denies the constitutionality of the Amended General Judgment against it. BPWCP, moreover, has asserted, and continues to assert on appeal, in response to the assertion of a class action, inter alia, that none of the claims asserted in the Lawsuit are appropriate for class certification. BPWCP also has taken into account the length and expense of continued proceedings necessary for defense of the Lawsuit through appeal. BPWCP, therefore, has entered into this Agreement solely for the purpose of avoiding the continuing additional expenses, inconvenience, and distraction of the Lawsuit, without admitting any wrongdoing or liability whatsoever, and without waiving any defense or argument that was, or could have been, asserted in the Lawsuit on appeal. By so doing, BPWCP desires to settle, compromise, and terminate with prejudice the Lawsuit, and to put to rest forever all claims which have, or could have been, asserted therein or which arise from, or in any way concern, the acts, facts, transactions, occurrences, representations, or omissions alleged in the Fourth Amended Complaint.

Q. The Parties expect that the settlement of all claims of the Judgment Creditors must occur through a process in which the Court approves this Agreement.

R. The Parties expect that, if this Agreement is approved, the Court will authorize certain various funds into which the agreed monetary consideration will be paid, then later distributed to the Judgment Creditors in accordance with a payment procedure approved by the Court.

S. The Parties now desire that this Agreement permanently resolve and settle all claims that the Judgment Creditors may have against BPWCP.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are incorporated into and are an integral part of this Agreement, and in consideration of the mutual promises below, the sufficiency of which the Parties readily acknowledge and accept, the Parties agree as follows:

1. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT.

The Settlement Fund shall be established by Escrow Holder as a separate escrow account constituting a Qualified Settlement Fund (“QSF”) as described in Treasury Regulation §1.46813-1, 26 C.F.R. §1.468B-1. Huntington National Bank or other financial institution recommended by Epiq shall serve as escrow agent.

BPWCP shall be considered the “transferor” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.468B-1(d)(1). The Claims Administrator shall be the “administrator” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.468B-2(k)(3). The Parties shall cooperate in

13 143155236.12

securing an order of the Court to establish the QSF in accordance with the terms hereof in conjunction with its preliminary approval of the Settlement and Notice of Settlement. The Court shall retain jurisdiction over the administration of the QSF. BPWCP shall supply to the Claims Administrator and to the Internal Revenue Service the statement described in Treasury Regulation §1.4688-3(e)(2). It is intended that the transfers to the QSF will satisfy the “all events test” and the “economic performance” requirement of §461(h)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, and Treasury Regulation §1.461-1(a)(2). Accordingly, BPWCP shall not include the income of the QSF in its income. Rather, the QSF shall be taxed on its modified gross income, excluding the sums transferred to it, and shall make payment of resulting taxes from its own funds. In computing the QSF’s modified gross income, deductions shall be allowed for its administrative costs and other deductible expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the QSF, including, without limitation, state and local taxes and legal, accounting, and other fees relating to the operation of the QSF. In the event that the entire balance of the QSF is not depleted within one (1) year, including after all efforts of the Parties, if any, to locate the Class Members, then payments of the unclaimed amounts shall be made pursuant to Paragraph 14(b), below.

(b) The Settlement Fund shall not cover the costs associated with: (1) administering the notice procedures in accordance with Sections 5 and 6, above; and/or (2) any fees paid to the Claims Administrator for services rendered. Per Paragraph (3)(c) above, BPWCP agrees to bear the reasonable associated administrative costs.

(c) The Claims Administrator shall cause to be filed, on behalf of the Settlement Fund, all required federal, state, and local tax returns, information returns and tax withholdings statements in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation §1.468B-2.

(d) The taxable year of the QSF shall be the calendar year in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.468B-2(j). The Settlement Fund shall utilize the accrual method of accounting within the meaning of § 446(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) All funds held by the Escrow Holder shall be deemed and considered to be in custodia legis of the Court and shall remain subject to the jurisdiction of the Court, until distributed pursuant to this Agreement.

10. ADMINISTRATIVE FUND

(a) Within fourteen (14) days of execution of this Agreement, BPWCP will transfer an initial amount into the Administrative Fund sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with administering and facilitating the notice procedures and other fees and administrative costs.

(b) Within one (1) business day after the date that the Supreme Court dockets BPWCP’s petition for writ of certiorari, BPWCP and the Class Members will file with the Supreme Court a joint motion asking the Court to hold the petition in abeyance or otherwise deferring consideration of the petition pending the Conditions to Settlement in Section 17.

(c) If the Supreme Court does not act on the joint motion in a timely manner, Class Counsel agrees that they will make every reasonable effort to secure extensions of time to respond to BPWCP’s forthcoming petition for writ of certiorari, including, but not limited to, seeking multiple extensions of time to file, from the U.S. Supreme Court Clerk of the Court, a response to BPWCP’s petition. Class Counsel may refer to the pending settlement, preliminary approval, and any other matter of public record in seeking those extensions as may be appropriate or necessary.

12. CLASS COUNSEL’S OBLIGATIONS.

(a) The Settlement Fund shall be maintained by Class Counsel for the benefit of the Class Members, except as to such amounts that are payable to Class Counsel, OCF, and the OSB, under Paragraph 3(b) above and Paragraph 12(d) below. BPWCP and Class Counsel shall execute an escrow agreement with Escrow Holder, which includes instructions for payments to be made from the Settlement Fund in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. Escrow Holder (and its subagents) shall be entitled to charge its usual and customary fees, if any, as approved by Class Counsel, and such fees shall be paid out of any interest or returns earned on the Settlement Fund.
