ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION

 

8.1                               Indemnification of P66 Company and Other Parties.  Solely for the purpose of indemnification in this Section 8.1, the representations and warranties of the Partnership in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made without regard to any materiality or Partnership Material Adverse Effect or knowledge qualifiers.  From and after the Closing Date, subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Partnership shall indemnify and hold the P66 Parties and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (together with the P66 Parties, the “P66 Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all damages (including exemplary damages and penalties), losses, deficiencies, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses, obligations, fines, expenditures, claims and liabilities, including reasonable counsel fees and reasonable expenses of investigation, defending and prosecuting litigation (collectively, the “Damages”), suffered by the P66 Indemnitees as a result of, caused by, arising out of, or in any way relating to (a) any breach of a representation or warranty of the Partnership in this Agreement, (b) any breach of any agreement or covenant under this Agreement on the part of the Partnership or (c) any of the Assumed Liabilities.

 

8.2                               Indemnification of the Partnership and other Parties.  Solely for the purpose of indemnification in this Section 8.2, the representations and warranties of the P66 Parties in this Agreement (other than the representation and warranty contained in Section 3.18(a)) shall be deemed to have been made without regard to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect or knowledge qualifiers. From and after the Closing Date, subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the P66 Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold the Group Members and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (together with the Partnership, the “Partnership Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Damages suffered by the Partnership Indemnitees as a result of, caused by, arising out of, or in any way relating to (a) any breach of a representation or warranty of the P66 Parties in this Agreement, (b) any breach of any agreement or covenant in this Agreement on the part of the P66 Parties, (c) any of the Excluded Liabilities, (d) the Specified Matter described in and subject to the terms of Section 8.14, or (e) any Transaction Taxes imposed on the Prior Conveyances.

 

8.3                               Demands.  Each indemnified party agrees that promptly upon its discovery of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnity under the provisions of this Agreement, including receipt by it of notice of any demand, assertion, claim, action or proceeding, judicial or otherwise, by any third party (such third party actions being collectively referred to herein as the “Indemnity Claim”), with respect to any matter as to which it claims to be entitled to indemnity

 

32



 

under the provisions of this Agreement, it will give prompt notice thereof in writing to the indemnifying party, together with a statement of such information respecting any of the foregoing as it shall have.  Such notice shall include a formal demand for indemnification under this Agreement.  The indemnifying party shall not be obligated to indemnify the indemnified party with respect to any Indemnity Claim if the indemnified party failed to notify the indemnifying party thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement to the extent that knowing failure to notify actually results in material prejudice or damage to the indemnifying party.

 

8.4                               Right to Contest and Defend.

 

(a)                                 The indemnifying party shall be entitled at its cost and expense to contest and defend by all appropriate legal proceedings any Indemnity Claim with respect to which it is called upon to indemnify the indemnified party under the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that notice of the intention to so contest shall be delivered by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party within twenty (20) days from the date of receipt by the indemnifying party of notice by the indemnified party of the assertion of the Indemnity Claim.  Any such contest may be conducted in the name and on behalf of the indemnifying party or the indemnified party as may be appropriate.  Such contest shall be conducted and prosecuted diligently to a final conclusion or settled in accordance with this Section 8.4 by reputable counsel employed by the indemnifying party and not reasonably objected to by the indemnified party, but the indemnified party shall have the right but not the obligation to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own choosing at its sole cost and expense.  The indemnifying party shall have full authority to determine all action to be taken with respect thereto; provided, however, that the indemnifying party will not have the authority to subject the indemnified party to any obligation whatsoever, other than the performance of purely ministerial tasks or obligations not involving material expense.  If the indemnifying party does not elect to contest any such Indemnity Claim or elects to contest such Indemnity Claim but fails diligently and promptly to prosecute or settle such claim, the indemnifying party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party shall have assumed the defense of an Indemnity Claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of an Indemnity Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Indemnity Claim, which releases the indemnified party completely in connection with such Indemnity Claim and which would not otherwise adversely affect the indemnified party.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Indemnity Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the indemnified party in defending such Indemnity Claim) if the Indemnity Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the indemnified party which the indemnified party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages.  If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Indemnity Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages.

 

33



 

8.5                               Cooperation.  If requested by the indemnifying party, the indemnified party agrees to cooperate with the indemnifying party and its counsel in contesting any Indemnity Claim that the indemnifying party elects to contest or, if appropriate, in making any counterclaim against the person asserting the Indemnity Claim, or any cross-complaint against any person, and the indemnifying party will reimburse the indemnified party for any expenses incurred by it in so cooperating.  At no cost or expense to the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall cooperate with the indemnified party and its counsel in contesting any Indemnity Claim.

 

8.6                               Right to Participate.  The indemnified party agrees to afford the indemnifying party and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to participate in, conferences with all persons, including Governmental Authorities, asserting any Indemnity Claim against the indemnified party or conferences with representatives of or counsel for such persons.

 

8.7                               Payment of Damages.  The indemnification required hereunder shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, within ten (10) days as and when reasonably specific bills are received or loss, liability, claim, damage or expense is incurred and reasonable evidence thereof is delivered.  In calculating any amount to be paid by an indemnifying party by reason of the provisions of this Agreement, the amount shall be reduced by all reimbursements (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds) credited to or received by the other party related to the Damages.

 

8.8                               Limitations on Indemnification.

 

(a)                                 To the extent the Partnership Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (but not including Damages for breaches of Fundamental Representations or the representations set forth in Section 3.15(c)), the P66 Parties shall not be liable for those Damages unless the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds $4,125,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent of any such excess; provided, however, that the P66 Parties shall not be liable for Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (but not including Damages for breaches of Fundamental Representations or the representations set forth in Section 3.15(c)) that exceed, in the aggregate, $165,000,000 (the “Cap”) less the Deductible.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 8.8(a) above, to the extent the Partnership Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification for Damages for claims arising from fraud or related to or arising from Taxes (including, without limitation, Damages for breach of the representations or warranties in Section 3.14), the P66 Parties shall be fully liable for such Damages without regard to the Deductible or the Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, the P66 Parties shall be fully liable for Damages pursuant to Sections 8.2(b), 8.2(c), 8.2(d) or 8.2(e) and for breaches of Fundamental Representations without regard to the Deductible or the Cap (subject, however, in the case of the Specified Matter, to the terms described in Section 8.14).

 

(c)                                  To the extent the P66 Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 8.1(a), the Partnership shall not be liable for those Damages unless the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds, in the aggregate, the Deductible, and then only to the extent of any such excess; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be liable for Damages that exceed, in the aggregate, the Cap less the Deductible.

 

34



 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding Section 8.8(c) above, to the extent the P66 Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification for Damages arising from fraud, the Partnership shall be fully liable for such Damages without regard to the Deductible or the Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall be fully liable for Damages pursuant to Sections  8.1(b) or 8.1(c) without regard to the Deductible or the Cap.

 

8.9                               Survival.

 

(a)                                 The liability of the P66 Parties for the breach of any of the representations and warranties of the P66 Parties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.8 and 3.9 (the “Fundamental Representations”) shall be limited to claims for which the Partnership delivers written notice to the P66 Parties on or before the date that is three years after the Closing Date.  The liability of the P66 Parties for the breach of any of the representations and warranties of the P66 Parties set forth in Article III other than the Fundamental Representations shall be limited to claims for which the Partnership delivers written notice to the P66 Parties on or before the date that is eighteen months after the Closing Date. The liability of the P66 Parties for Damages for claims related to or arising from Taxes (including, without limitation, Damages for claims for breach of the representations or warranties in Section 3.14) shall be limited to claims for which the Partnership delivers written notice to the P66 Parties on or before the date that is ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for assessment of the applicable Tax. The liability of the P66 Parties for the Specified Matter shall be limited to claims for which the Partnership delivers written notice to the P66 Parties on or before the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date.

 

(b)                                 The liability of the Partnership for the breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Partnership set forth in Article IV shall be limited to claims for which the P66 Parties deliver written notice to the Partnership on or before the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date.

 

8.10                        Sole Remedy.  After the Closing, no Party shall have liability under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby except as is provided in this Article VIII other than claims or causes of action arising from fraud, and other than claims for specific performance or claims arising under any Transaction Documents (which claims shall be subject to the liability provisions of such Transaction Documents).

 

8.11                        Express Negligence Rule.  THE INDEMNIFICATION AND ASSUMPTION PROVISIONS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN EXPRESSLY NEGOTIATED IN EVERY DETAIL, ARE INTENDED TO BE GIVEN FULL AND LITERAL EFFECT, AND SHALL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS, LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DAMAGES IN QUESTION ARISE OR AROSE SOLELY OR IN PART FROM THE GROSS, ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER FAULT OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY.  THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE P66 PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS STATEMENT COMPLIES WITH THE EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE AND CONSTITUTES CONSPICUOUS NOTICE.  NOTICE IN THIS CONSPICUOUS NOTICE IS NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE OR ALTER THE RIGHTS

 

35



 

AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES, ALL OF WHICH ARE SPECIFIED ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT.

 

8.12                        Knowledge. The Partnership Indemnitees’ and the P66 Indemnitees’ rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not be diminished by any investigation performed or knowledge acquired or capable of being acquired, whether before or after the date of this Agreement, regarding the accuracy or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or the performance or non-performance of any covenant.

 

8.13                        Consideration Adjustment.  The Parties agree to treat all payments made pursuant to Section 5.3 and this Article VIII as adjustments to the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.2 for Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by Law following a final determination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a Governmental Authority with competent jurisdiction.

 

8.14                        Specified Matter.  The “Specified Matter” means Standing Rock Sioux Tribe v.

For the avoidance of doubt, “Damages” shall include costs and expenses of Dakota Access in defending such Litigation, costs of pipeline redirection, modification or other enhancements required by such Litigation and any reduction in the fair market value purchase price of the DAPL Assets due to reduced throughput as a result of such Litigation, in each case, after the date hereof and calculated in a manner taking into account DAPL Holdings’ ownership of a twenty-five percent (25%) limited liability company interest in Dakota Access.

(b)                                 Payments by Company.  Company shall pay all charges from Operator in accordance with Section 3.05 of the Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Adjustments.  Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the actual payment of any such bills shall not prejudice the right of Company to protest or question the correctness or appropriateness thereof; provided, however, that all bills and statements rendered to Company during any calendar Year shall conclusively be presumed to be true and correct after twenty-four (24) Months following the end of any such calendar Year, unless prior to the end of said twenty-four (24) Month period Company takes written exception thereto and makes a claim against Operator for adjustment.

 

(d)                                 Financial Records.  Operator shall maintain accurate books and records in accordance with GAAP (as may be modified by FERC requirements) and in accordance with the prescribed accounting requirements or system of accounts mandated by any regulatory body or government agency, both federal and state, if any, having jurisdiction over Operator, Company, or their respective businesses.

Such reimbursement shall include any necessary Direct Costs (as defined in Paragraph 3 below) and the applicable portion of the Management Fee (as defined in the Omnibus Agreement).

 

(a)                                 It is the intent of the Parties that Services provided by employees of Operator shall be budgeted and billed by Operator on a Direct Cost basis pursuant to Section 3.03(a) of the Agreement to the extent that is feasible to measure and account for the Services directly provided by such employees to Operator by means of time sheets or other methods approved by Company.

Lessee agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lessor to structure lawful and commercially reasonable solutions to the above stated restriction on Lessor’s option to convey the Premises, if applicable;

 

(b)         if Lessee abandons all or substantially all of Lessee’s Operations on the Premises, this Lease shall automatically terminate on the first (1st) anniversary of the date of such abandonment; and

 

(c)          if Lessee shall exercise the Option pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Lease, this Lease shall automatically terminate upon the conveyance of fee title to the Premises to Lessee in accordance with Section 3.2(b) of this Lease.

 

2.3                               Renewal Terms. So long as Lessee is not in default under this Lease, Lessee shall have the option to extend this Lease for up to three (3) ten (10) year periods (“Renewal Terms”) commencing upon the expiration of the Base Term. Each successive ten (10) year option shall be deemed exercised by Lessee provided that Lessee gives at least ninety (90) days written notice prior to the expiration of the Base Term or any Renewal Term, as the case may be, of its desire to renew for the next successive Renewal Term. If Lessee elects not to exercise any Renewal Term, then this Lease shall terminate at the end of the then current Base Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, and in the event of such termination, Lessee’s options for any future Renewal Terms shall also terminate.

 

2.4                               Termination; Expiration. Upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, unless the Premises has been or is to be conveyed to Lessee, then Lessee shall return the Premises to Lessor as follows:

(b)         Title to the Premises shall revert to Lessor free and clear of this Lease and any interest of Lessee in and to this Lease or the Premises;

 

(c)          Lessee shall remain liable for the breach of any of its obligations hereunder that were attributable to periods of time prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration, and for any of its obligations (including, without limitation, indemnities), that were provided herein to survive the expiration or termination of this Lease;

 

(d)         Lessee shall discharge and cause to be released of record, or otherwise provide security satisfactory to Lessor for, any liens created, incurred or suffered to exist by Lessee under the terms of this Lease and that are then in existence, even if Lessor joined in the creation of such liens;

(e)          If Lessee has not exercised the Option, as defined in Article III, and Lessor has not conveyed the Premises to Lessee pursuant to Section 2.2(a), Lessee shall surrender the Assets remaining on the Premises to Lessor and all of Lessee’s right, title of interest in and to all real property and all tangible and intangible personal property that constitute the Assets, shall immediately vest in Lessor; and

 

(f)           Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any releases, deeds (for Improvements on the Premises), bills of sale, assignments or other documents reasonably required by Lessor to evidence the foregoing;

 

2.5                               Quiet Enjoyment. Subject to the provisions of this Lease, and so long as Lessee is not in default under the provisions of this Lease, Lessor covenants and warrants that upon the payment of the rent reserved herein and Lessee’s performance of all of its obligations hereunder, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly hold, use, enjoy and occupy the Premises in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease for the Term hereof without disturbance by Lessor or by anyone lawfully claiming by, through or under Lessor.

 

2.6                               Lessee’s Easements and Rights-of-Way. Lessor shall promptly furnish or make available to Lessee or to third parties that are providing services to Lessee, at no additional cost to Lessee, all other easements and rights-of-way over the Refinery reasonably necessary for Lessee’s Operations on the Premises, including pipeline, pipe rack, electrical, communication, roadway and construction easements, to construct any Improvements on the Premises, or to comply with the provisions of this Lease or the Shared Services Agreement; provided, however, all such easements and rights-of-way shall be non-exclusive on Lessor’s standard approved form for granting easements and rights-of-way to third parties, and none of these easements or rights-of-way shall unreasonably interfere with Lessor’s operations on the Refinery. All such easements and rights-of-way shall be recorded at the sole expense of Lessee.

In addition, Lessee shall promptly furnish or make available to Lessor or to third parties that are providing services to Lessor, at no additional cost to Lessor, all other easements and rights-of-way over and across the Premises that are reasonably necessary for Lessor to conduct its business at the Refinery. All such easements and rights-of-way shall be non-exclusive, on Lessee’s standard approved form for granting easements and rights-of-way to third parties, and none of these easements or rights-of-way shall unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s Operations on the Premises. All such easements and rights-of-way shall be recorded at the sole expense of Lessor. Upon completion of any construction, maintenance, replacement or removal operations Lessor shall repair and restore the rights-of-way used by Lessor, as near as reasonably practical to do so, to substantially the same condition that existed prior to such activity.

 

2.9                               Lessor’s Reserved Access Rights.

2.12                        Appurtenant Easements. As of the Effective Date, to the extent Lessor has the legal right to do so, Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee leases from Lessor for the Term, at the rental and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, the Appurtenant Easements. To the extent that any Appurtenant Easements that would otherwise be leased under this Lease, are not capable of being leased to Lessee without the consent of, or waiver by, any other party thereto or any other Person, or if such lease or attempted lease would constitute a breach thereof or a violation of any Legal Requirement, this Lease shall not constitute a lease, or an attempted lease of any such Appurtenant Easements. Promptly after the Effective Date, and for a period of one (1) year, Lessor shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain a consent or waiver to a lease from Lessor to Lessee of each such Appurtenant Easement that, but for the second sentence of this Section, would be leased; provided, however, that Lessor shall not be required to pay or provide any consideration to obtain such consent or waiver. However, until such time as such consent or waiver shall have been obtained, Lessor and Lessee shall reasonably cooperate in order that Lessee shall obtain the economic and other benefits under the Appurtenant Easements. Lessee shall have the right to take any actions necessary to keep such Appurtenant Easements in effect, including obtaining such consent or waiver described above.

Lessor, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, hereby grants Lessee an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase the Premises (the “Option”) for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Article III. Lessee may exercise this Option at any time during the Term by giving Lessor written notice of exercise. Upon exercise of this Option by Lessee, Lessor shall be obligated to sell and convey the Premises to Lessee, and Lessee shall be obligated to purchase the Premises for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Article III; provided, however, that Lessee shall not have the right to exercise this Option, if in the subjective good faith judgment of Lessor or its counsel, the sale of the Premises would result in Lessor or the Premises being in violation of any applicable permits or Legal Requirements. Lessor agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lessee (but at no cost or liability to Lessor) in Lessee’s efforts to structure lawful and commercially reasonable solutions to the above stated restriction on Lessee’s right to exercise the Option, if applicable.

(b)         The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Premises (“Closing”) shall occur within ninety (90) days after the date on which Lessee exercises the Option (“Closing Date”) through an escrow to be established by Lessee with a title company selected by Lessee (“Title Company”). Lessor shall convey the Premises to Lessee (i) by a deed or other recordable conveyance instrument customarily used in Brazoria County, Texas, at the time of conveyance in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessee, (ii) except for the Permitted Encumbrances, attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein, warranting title thereto only against the claim of every person whomsoever claiming by, through or under Lessor, but not otherwise by, and (iii) free and clear of any liens and other encumbrances created or caused on or after the Effective Date of this Lease by Lessor or its employees, agents or contractors without the consent of Lessee, unless otherwise permitted by this Lease, but otherwise subject to all liens and encumbrances of record, and subject to taxes for the year in which such Closing occurs; and

 

(c)          Lessor and Lessee shall cause the following to occur on the Closing Date:

(ii)          Lessee shall pay Lessor the purchase price for the Premises in cash;

 

(iii)       If Lessee so elects, the Title Company shall issue to Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, an owner’s title insurance policy in such amount as Lessee reasonably requests, insuring Lessee’s title to the Premises;

 

(iv)      Lessee shall pay any documentary transfer tax, sales tax or other conveyance tax imposed by Brazoria County (or any other governmental authority) in respect to the conveyance of the Premises, the cost of the title insurance premium, any escrow and recording fees and all other customary closing costs; and

 

(v)         Lessee shall pay or reimburse Lessor for the costs incurred by Lessor associated with any issuance, re-issuance or transfer of any permits, any new or amended contracts with service providers, or any additional agreements required in order to implement such sale and conveyance.

 

3.3                               Assignment by Lessee. Lessee shall have the right to assign the Option only in connection with a permitted assignment of all of Lessee’s rights, interests and estates under this Lease. The Option is appurtenant to and cannot be separated from the leasehold estate of Lessee without prior written consent from Lessor (which consent may be granted, withheld, delayed or conditioned in Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion).

 

3.4                               Rule Against Perpetuities. The rights granted to Lessee under this Article III are intended to be fully and immediately vested as of the date hereof. However, in the event it should ever be determined that the rule against perpetuities is applicable to the Option, then notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Article III, it is agreed that the term of the Option shall expire on the soonest occurrence of (a) the date that is twenty-one years after the date of death of the last to die of all of the present members of the United States House of Representatives, as of the date hereof, and all of their presently existing lineal descendants, or (b) the date of expiration of the Term.

(b)                                 If Lessee should default as defined in Article XI of this Lease in performing any term, covenant or condition of this Lease which involves the expenditure of money by Lessee to third parties, Lessor may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or, on behalf of Lessee, expend such sum as may be necessary to perform or fulfill such term, covenant or condition. Any sums so paid or expended by Lessor, with interest at the Late Payment Rate from the date of such payment or expenditure, shall be additional rent and shall be payable by Lessee on demand. No such payment or expenditure by Lessor shall be construed as a waiver of Lessee’s default or of Lessee’s obligation to perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease nor shall it affect any other right or remedy of Lessor under this Lease.

 

(c)                                  No abatement, diminution or reduction in additional rent shall be claimed by or allowed to Lessee for any inconvenience or interruption, cessation, or loss of business caused directly or indirectly, by any present or future Legal Requirements, or by Force Majeure; and no diminution in the amount of the space used by Lessee caused by legally required changes in the construction, equipment, fixtures, operation or use of the Premises shall entitle Lessee to any abatement, diminution or reduction of additional rent required to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.

5.2                               Acknowledgement of Potential Future Restrictions. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that any Corrective Action may be conducted pursuant to governmental order or action, agreement with the governmental agencies or on a voluntary basis.

This Lease is hereby made subject to any governmental order or action, or agreement with the governmental agencies concerning such Corrective Action.

Lessor agrees that it will, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lessee in supplying information and signing documentation as Lessee may reasonably request in order to satisfy its requirements under this Section 5.3, and Lessee shall indemnify and defend Lessor from and against any liability resulting from such cooperation with Lessee; provided, however, if Lessor’s action or inaction is the sole factor necessitating compliance with any Legal Requirements affecting the Premises, in which event Lessor shall pay the reasonable costs, charges and expenses connected with or arising out of such need to comply.

 

5.4                               Indemnity for Compliance with Legal Requirements Other than Environmental Laws. Subject to the terms and provisions of Article VIII of the Contribution Agreement, Lessee shall indemnify, release, defend and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, damages, liabilities, expenses and costs (including court courts and reasonable attorneys’ fees) for its failure to comply with Legal Requirements at the Premises.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS LEASE, LESSEE HEREBY ACCEPTS THE PREMISES “AS IS, WHERE IS” IN ITS CONDITION EXISTING ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE, AND LESSOR DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PREMISES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF SUITABILITY FOR A PARTICULAR USE AND ANY OTHER WARRANTY PERTAINING TO THE USE OR CONDITION OF THE PREMISES WHATSOEVER.

If Lessee shall fail to do so, then, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to, procure the discharge of the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due, by deposit in a court of competent jurisdiction or by bonding, and Lessor may defend the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and pay the amount of the judgment, if any, in favor of the lienor with interest, costs and allowances. Any amount paid or deposited by Lessor for any such purpose, and all other reasonable expenses of Lessor, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, together with interest at the Late Payment Rate from the date paid or deposited, shall be additional rent and shall be paid by Lessee on demand. Lessee shall cause any such lien filed against the Assets or Improvements to be discharged prior to termination of this Lease. If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall post on behalf of Lessor, and keep posted on the Premises, any notices that Lessor may require for the protection of Lessor and of the Premises from any such lien.

 

(b)                                 Except for services provided by Lessee to Lessor under the Shared Services Agreement, if any lien shall at any time be filed against the Premises, by reason of any work, labor, services or materials done for, or supplied to, or claimed to have been done for, or supplied to, Lessor or anyone holding the Refinery through or under Lessor, Lessor shall cause the same (at least as it pertains to the Premises) to be discharged of record or adequately bonded (unless otherwise secured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessee) within forty-five (45) days after receipt of notice of the lien filing.

(a)                                 Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1(b), so long as the Premises, Assets and Improvements are taxed as a separate parcel from the Refinery, Lessee will pay and discharge, as and when the same shall become due and payable without penalty, the Property Taxes with respect to any period during the Term in which they shall be or become due and payable and which:

 

[Form of Third Amended and Restated Lease Agreement]

 

16



 

(i)             shall be levied, assessed or imposed on or against the Premises, Assets or Improvements or any interest of Lessor or Lessee in the Premises, Assets or Improvements; or

 

(ii)          shall be or become liens on or against the Premises, Assets or Improvements or any interest of Lessor or Lessee in the Premises, Assets or Improvements;

 

(b)                                 Nothing in this Lease shall require Lessee to pay any estate, inheritance, succession or transfer tax of Lessor or any income, excess profits or revenue tax on the rent payable by Lessee under this Lease; provided, however, that if at any time during the Term the methods of taxation prevailing at the Effective Date shall be altered so that in lieu of, as a supplement to, or a substitute for the whole or part of any Property Tax which Lessee has agreed to pay pursuant to this Section 9.1, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (i) a tax, assessment, levy imposition or charge, wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise, on the rents received under this Lease or (ii) a license fee measured by the rent payable by Lessee under this Lease, then Lessee shall pay the same.

 

(c)                                  Upon written request from Lessor, Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with satisfactory evidence that such Property Taxes have been paid. If any Property Taxes paid by Lessee shall cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration of the Term hereof, Lessee’s share of such Property Taxes shall be equitably pro-rated to cover only the period of time within the tax fiscal year during which this Lease shall be in effect, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee to the extent required. If Lessee shall fail to pay any such Property Taxes by their due date, Lessor shall have the right to pay the same, in which case Lessee shall repay such amount to Lessor on demand, together with any interest charge actually incurred by Lessor as to such Property Taxes.

 

9.2                               Joint Assessment. If the Premises, Assets and Improvements are not separately assessed, Lessor shall pay the Property Taxes as and when the same shall become due and payable without penalty, but Lessor shall forward a copy of the property tax bills to Lessee within five (5) business days of Lessor’s receipt of the tax bills and, subject to Section 9.3 below, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor within thirty (30) days of receipt of Lessor’s invoice, together with proof of payment thereof, an amount equal to Lessee’s pro-rata share of the Property Taxes for the parcel on which the Premises are located, as more particularly described in Exhibit A for that tax year and, with the express understanding and agreement between Lessor and Lessee that there will be a subsequent true-up of Lessee’s ultimate liability for Lessee’s proportion of the Property Taxes in accordance with the subsequent terms of this Section 9.2, and that this Section 9.2 sets no precedent in the subsequent determination of the allocation. In the event the Premises, Assets and Improvements are subsequently separately assessed, the aforementioned true-up shall occur within thirty (30) days of receipt by either Party of such separate assessment. Lessee’s liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Property Taxes for the Premises, Assets and Improvements. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that such proportion will be mutually agreed to by Lessor and Lessee, acting in good faith. In the event that Lessor and Lessee are unable to mutually agree upon such proportion, the Parties shall mutually engage a competent, independent appraiser, whose opinion of proportion shall be binding upon both Parties. The apportionment set forth in this Section 9.2 is solely for the Parties’ benefit in estimating the liability for Property Taxes between them, and each Party hereby covenants and agrees to keep such allocation confidential and to not disclose, communicate or otherwise provide such apportionment at any time to any independent appraiser engaged under this Section 9.2 or in any court proceeding related thereto. The cost of engaging such appraiser shall be borne equally by Lessor and Lessee. These agreed upon allocated assessed values shall remain in effect until changed by the Parties, with either Party having the right to request a review of the allocation on an annual basis. Additionally, if the Premises, Assets or Improvements are not separately assessed, Lessor and Lessee also shall jointly attempt to have the Assessor separately assess the Premises, Assets and Improvements in such a way as to clearly and separately identify the value of the Premises, Assets and Improvements.

9.3                               Contesting Real Property Tax. Lessor and Lessee shall each have the right to contest or review, with due diligence and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Property Taxes associated with the Premises, Assets and Improvements, but only with the knowledge and consent of the other Party, it being the express intent of the Parties that they shall work together in cooperation with each other with any such contest or review. For Property Taxes that pertain to the years 2017 and beyond, Lessee shall have the right to contest or review, with due diligence and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Property Taxes associated with the Premises, Assets or Improvements by appropriate legal proceedings provided that if the contested Property Tax is not paid before the start of legal proceedings, then before instituting any proceedings Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety company bond, cash deposit or other security mutually agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee as reasonably satisfactory, as security for the payment of the Property Tax, in an amount sufficient to pay the Property Tax, that may be assessed against the Premises, Assets or Improvements in the legal proceedings. If the property valuation contested is jointly assessed, Lessee shall have a responsibility for surety bond only for that portion of valuation that constitutes the Premises, Assets or Improvements and in an amount determined by mutual consent of Lessor and Lessee. On termination of the legal proceedings or at any time when Lessor and Lessee shall reasonably deem the security to be insufficient for the purpose, Lessee shall, upon demand, deliver to Lessor additional security as is reasonably sufficient for the purpose, and upon failure of the Lessee to do so, the security originally deposited shall be applied to the payment, removal and discharge of the Property Tax and any interest, penalties, charges, and costs accruing in the legal proceedings and the balance, if any, shall be paid by Lessee. If the security shall be insufficient for this purpose, Lessee shall promptly pay over to Lessor an amount sufficient, together with the security originally deposited hereunder, to pay the same. In the event of any default by Lessee as defined in Article XI of this Lease, for failure to pay the Property Taxes, Lessor is authorized to use the security deposited under this Section 9.3 to apply on account of such default or to pay the Property Tax. The balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee. Lessor agrees that it will, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lessee in connection with Lessee’s contesting or reviewing any Property Taxes pursuant to this Section 9.3, provided that Lessor shall not be subject to any liability arising out of any such cooperation, including any liability for the payment of any Property Taxes, costs or expenses.

 

9.4                               Other Taxes. Lessee shall pay, prior to delinquency, any franchise taxes, excise taxes, business and occupation taxes, gross sales taxes, gross receipt taxes, occupational license taxes and similar taxes that are assessed or levied on Lessee’s use or operation of the Premises.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

16.1                        Estoppel Certificate. Lessor and Lessee each agree that from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice from the other Party, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other Party a statement in writing certifying and stating (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating such modifications, (b) the dates to which the rent and additional rent have been paid and the current amount of the rent and additional rent, (c) whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signer, the other Party is in default in keeping, observing or performing any term, covenant, or condition contained in this Lease and, if in default, specifying each such default, (d) whether the signing party currently has any claim against the other Party under this Lease and, if so, the nature and the dollar amount, if any, of such claim, (e) whether there exist any offsets or defenses against enforcement of any of the terms of this Lease upon the part of the signing party to be performed, and, if so, specifying the same, and (f) such further information with respect to this Lease as the other Party may reasonably request, it being intended that any statement delivered pursuant to this Section 16.1 shall be binding on the signing Party and may be relied upon by the other Party, any prospective purchaser of the Premises or any prospective mortgagee.

 

16.2                        Severability. Every provision of this Lease is severable. If any term or provision hereof is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason by any duly constituted court, agency or tribunal, the legality, validity, or enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

16.3                        Captions. The table of contents, section headings and other captions contained in this Lease are for reference purposes only and do not interpret, define or limit the scope, extent or intent of this Lease or any provision hereof.

16.5                        Waivers. Any failure of either Party to enforce any of the provisions of this Lease or to require compliance with any of its terms at any time during the Term of this Lease, shall in no way affect the validity of this Lease, or any part hereof, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the rights of such Party thereafter to enforce any and each such provision or of any subsequent breach by the other Party of the same or any other provision. Each Party’s consent to or approval of any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of such Party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by the other Party. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. Any consent or approval given pursuant to this Lease shall be limited to its express terms and shall not otherwise increase the obligations of the Party giving such consent or approval or otherwise reduce the obligations of the Party receiving such consent or approval.

16.6                        Recording.

This Section 16.7 is made expressly subject to Lessee’s rights set forth in this Lease to remove its Assets and Improvements from the Premises, to restore the surface of the Premises and to perform any required environmental remediation under this Lease upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, and the exercise of such rights provided for under this Lease shall not be deemed to constitute a holdover under this Section 16.7. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the Term or the termination of this Lease without the express written consent of Lessor, which consent can be withheld by Lessor in its sole discretion, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a rental rate to be determined at the time of said expiration or termination based on actual fair market value per month plus additional rent and all other charges payable hereunder, and upon all the terms hereof applicable to the month to month tenancy.

 

16.8                        Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.

 

16.9                        Binding Effect; Choice of Law. This Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, including with respect to matters of construction, validity and performance, without giving effect to any choice of law rules that may direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

 

16.10                 Subordination. This Lease shall be superior in interest to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidation, replacements and extensions thereof.

 

16.11                 Signs and Fences. Lessee shall be permitted to place any sign upon the Premises and/or erect a fence around all or any portion of the Premises without Lessor’s prior written consent, provided that any such sign or fence shall comply with all Legal Requirements.

16.13                 Records and Audit. Lessor shall maintain a true and correct set of records pertaining to any bills, statements or invoices sent to Lessee under this Lease and all transactions related thereto. Lessor further agrees to retain all such records for a period of not less than five (5) years after the date of such bill, statement or invoice. Any representative or representatives authorized by Lessee may audit, at its own cost and during reasonable business hours, any and all such records at any time or times during the Term of this Lease and during the five (5) year period following its termination or expiration. The foregoing obligations in this Section 16.13 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

16.15                 Confidentiality.  During the Term of this Lease, it may become necessary or desirable, from time to time, for either Party to provide or disclose to the other Party non-public information that is either confidential or proprietary.  The disclosing Party may orally request such information to be kept confidential if such information is not in a written format, and in such case shall identify and confirm such confidential information in writing to the other Party no later than fifteen (15) days after such disclosure.  If the confidential or proprietary information is in a written format, the disclosing Party shall label such information as either confidential or proprietary.  The other Party shall not reproduce, copy, use or disclose (except when required by Legal Requirements) any such information in whole or in part to a third party for any purpose without the consent of the disclosing Party.  The other Party shall restrict the internal disclosure of any such confidential or proprietary information to only those employees, officers and directors who have a “need to know” such information, and shall restrict those individuals from disclosing, using or permitting the disclosure of such information.  In the event the other Party is required by Legal Requirements to disclose any such confidential or proprietary information, the other Party shall cooperate with the disclosing Party to minimize the amount of such information furnished.  At the specific request of the disclosing Party, the other Party shall endeavor to secure the agreement of the receiving Person to maintain specified portions of such information in confidence.  In the case of any disclosure of any such confidential or proprietary information, whether or not such disclosure is permitted by this Section 16.15, the other Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the disclosing Party.

 

16.16                 Further Assurances.  Each Party agrees to take or cause to be taken such further actions to execute, deliver and file all further documents and instruments, and to take any further action that may be reasonably necessary or requested in order to fully effectuate the purposes, terms, conditions and intent of this Lease.

 

16.17                 Survival.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, the expiration or other termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of obligations that by their nature should survive such expiration or termination, whether or not specifically stated herein, including any indemnities, payment obligations, confidentiality, and audit rights.

(ii)                                  The costs associated with providing the Utilities are not included in the calculation of the Monthly Fee described in Section 2.02(a). Company shall bill MSLP on a monthly basis for each Utility based on Company’s actual cost to supply, or cause to be supplied, such Utility to the Coker Facilities.

 

(iii)                               In the event of a shutdown or reduced availability of a Utility, Company shall immediately notify MSLP of the situation and develop a plan to promptly resolve the situation to minimize the impact on the Parties’ respective operations on a non-discriminatory basis and to expedite the return of such Utility to full availability. Company shall provide its Load Shed Plan to MSLP in the same manner as such information is provided to other parties with facilities at the Sweeny Complex. The Load Shed Plan will dictate the order in which operational units are shut down or subject to reduced operations.

 

(c)                                  Laboratory Use. Company shall provide MSLP non-exclusive use of the Laboratory in order for MSLP to analyze samples on a routine and as-needed basis. The costs associated with the Laboratory are not included in the calculation of the Monthly Fee described in Section 2.02(a). Company shall bill MSLP on a monthly basis for use of the Laboratory based on the actual number of samples sent to the Laboratory by MSLP during the immediately preceding Year multiplied by the actual average cost to Company per sample during the immediately preceding Year divided by twelve (12). If Company’s actual average cost per sample after the third Quarter of any current Year differs from the previous Year’s actual average cost per sample, the Laboratory costs assessed to MSLP for the remainder of such current Year will be adjusted to recover or refund, as appropriate, the full amount of such difference such that Company recovers from MSLP its actual average cost per sample analyzed in the Laboratory in the Year.

 

(d)                                 Unless otherwise specifically identified herein, as between Company and MSLP, all costs of operating, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the equipment and facilities located at the Sweeny Complex (other than at the Coker Facilities) shall be borne by Company.

 

2.02                        Monthly Fee.

 

(a)                                 Company will calculate the Monthly Fee (as defined below) based on Company’s good faith estimate of the annual cost of Company Services to be provided by Company to MSLP pursuant to Section 2.01(a), which estimate will then be divided by twelve (12). MSLP shall pay Company such amount as a fixed monthly fee, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.03 (the “Monthly Fee”). The Parties agree that, as of the Effective Date, the Monthly Fee is an amount equal to $[ ].

 

(b)                                 In the event Company determines in good faith that the aggregate Monthly Fees paid by MSLP during any current Year differs from Company’s actual cost of providing Services to MSLP hereunder during the fourth Quarter of the immediately preceding Year and the first three Quarters of such current Year by an amount greater than ten percent (10%), Company shall provide notice to MSLP of such difference between the aggregate Monthly Fees paid to Company and Company’s actual cost of providing Company Services during such time period (the “Difference”). Such notice shall state that the

Difference will be either added to or credited against, as applicable, the Monthly Fee payable by MSLP for each Month in the following Year in order to reimburse Company or MSLP, as applicable, for the amount of such Difference. Such notice shall include commercially reasonable documentation of the actual costs incurred by Company in providing the Company Services and Company’s calculation of the Difference. Company shall provide such notice to MSLP on or before the end of the third Quarter of the applicable Year, and the applicable adjustment to the Monthly Fee shall be effective beginning on January 1 of the following Year. Once Company or MSLP has been reimbursed the full amount of the Difference, the Monthly Fee shall automatically revert to the amount determined pursuant to Section 2.02(a) unless Company again provides notice as set forth in this Section 2.02(b).

 

(c)                                  No more than once every three (3) Years, either Party may request to modify the Monthly Fee. Such request shall include commercially reasonable support for any such modification and a proposed effective date for any such modification, which effective date shall be no later than one hundred and twenty (120) Days following the other Party’s receipt of such request. The Parties shall negotiate the proposed modifications in good faith and, if the Parties are unable to reach resolution, the current Monthly Fee shall continue in effect, provided that MSLP may terminate this Agreement by providing sixty (60) Days prior written notice of such termination to Company.

 

2.03                        Services to be Provided by MSLP to Company. During the Term, and subject to the terms and conditions herein, MSLP agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or cause to be provided, the following facilities for use by Company:

 

(a)         Cooling Tower. MSLP will provide Company use of the cooling tower at the Coker Facilities as needed. In the event Company’s use of the cooling tower increases substantially from its use as of the Effective Date, MSLP shall determine in good faith the actual cost of Company’s use of the cooling tower each month and Company shall reimburse MSLP the full amount of such costs.

 

(b)         Flare Tower. MSLP will provide Company use of the flare tower at the Coker Facilities as needed. In the event Company’s use of the flare tower increases substantially from its use as of the Effective Date, MSLP shall determine in good faith the actual cost of Company’s use of the flare tower each month and Company shall reimburse MSLP the full amount of such costs.

 

(c)          Unused Pipeline Racks. MSLP will agree to provide, or cause to be provided, Company with access to and the use of any unused pipeline racks at the Coker Facilities to the extent such access and use by Company does not interfere or disrupt MSLP’s operations or its use of the pipeline racks as currently existing or as may be contemplated at any time in the future. To the extent any costs are actually incurred by MSLP due to Company’s access to or use of the pipeline racks, MSLP shall promptly notify Company of such costs in writing and Company shall promptly pay the full amount of such costs, or if already paid by MSLP, reimburse MSLP for the full amount of such costs.

(d)         Unless otherwise specifically identified herein, as between MSLP and Company, all costs of operating, maintaining, repairing, and replacing assets located at or used in the operation of the Coker Facilities shall be borne by MSLP.

 

(e)          The Parties agree that, as of the Effective Date, the monthly costs associated with the facilities to be used, as needed, by Company totals $[ ] (“Monthly Cost”).

 

2.04                        Annual Adjustment. As of each anniversary of the Effective Date while this Agreement is in effect, the Service Provider may increase the Monthly Fee or Monthly Cost, as applicable, (“Monthly Charge”) annually by a percentage equal to the greater of zero and the positive change in the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods (Series ID WPUFD49207, or its successor) (the “PPI-FG”), as reported during the Month of January immediately before the effective date of the adjustment, with respect to the twelve (12) Month period ending at the end of the Month of December immediately preceding such publication, provided that if, with respect to any such twelve (12) Month period or periods, the PPI-FG decreased at any time since the most recent previous increase in the Monthly Charge, then the Service Provider may increase the Monthly Charge, only to the extent that the percentage change in the PPI-FG since the most recent previous increase in the Monthly Charge, is greater than the aggregate amount of the cumulative decreases in the PPI-FG during the intervening period or periods.

 

2.05                        Capital Improvements and Replacement. If the Recipient requests improvements or replacements to any of the facilities or equipment that are necessary to perform the Services or to provide Utilities, or if the Service Provider undertakes, or causes to be undertaken, capital improvements or replacements that will benefit the Recipient and, in either event, the Recipient’s proportionate share of the cost of such improvements or replacements equals or exceeds $50,000.00, then the Service Provider shall provide prior written notice to the Recipient of the Recipient’s proportionate share of the cost of such improvements or replacements and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to design and implement a mechanism to allow the Service Provider to recover, over a period of twenty-five (25) Years, the Recipient’s proportionate share of such costs. In the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement prior to the Recipient’s reimbursement of the Service Provider in full for any costs for which the Recipient is responsible pursuant to this Section 2.05, such costs shall be due immediately upon such termination or expiration unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. Any costs that may be recovered by the Service Provider pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall not also be recoverable through the other fees or adjustments thereto as described in Sections 2.01 and 2.02.

 

2.06                        Emergency. In the event of an emergency situation requiring immediate non-routine work, Service Provider shall perform, or cause to be performed, any work necessary to address or resolve the emergency situation. To the extent Recipient’s proportionate share of any such emergency, non-routine work will equal or exceed $50,000.00, Service Provider shall promptly notify Recipient of the emergency situation requiring such non-routine work.

 

2.07                        Laws. If new Laws require a Service Provider to make substantial and unanticipated expenditures in connection with the provision of the Services and/or Utilities, such Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to obtain a waiver, exception, or extension for the time period of compliance with the new Law in an effort to secure continued operation under the applicable Laws during the Term of this Agreement. If such Service

 

[Form of Amended and Restated Shared Facilities and Services Agreement]

Provider is unable to obtain such a waiver, exception or extension, then such Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such new Law and will provide the applicable Recipient with commercially reasonable advance notice of any planned expenditures necessary for compliance. Such Recipient will reimburse the Service Provider for the Recipient’s proportionate share of the costs incurred by such Service Provider in complying with such Law or, at the Recipient’s option and if the Parties agree in writing, an alternate mechanism will be adopted to allow such Service Provider to recover over time the applicable Recipient’s proportionate share of the costs incurred by such Service Provider in complying with such Laws.

 

2.08                        Records of Services. Each Service Provider shall maintain a true and correct set of records pertaining to all activities relating to its performance of the Services (and Utilities, if applicable) and any work hereunder. Each Service Provider agrees to retain all such records for a period of time not less than two (2) Years following the end of the calendar Year in which the applicable Services, Utilities, or any non-routine work was performed. Each Recipient, or its authorized representative or representatives, shall have the right during the applicable Service Provider’s Normal Business Hours, to audit, copy and inspect, at such Recipient’s sole cost and expense, any and all records of such Service Provider relating to its performance of its obligations hereunder (but not any other books and records of such Service Provider).  Audits shall not be commenced more than once by such Recipient during any calendar Year and shall be completed within a reasonable time frame not to exceed thirty (30) Days. Each Recipient may request information from any applicable Service Provider’s books and records relating to the obligations hereunder from time to time and such requests shall not constitute an audit for that calendar Year. Each Recipient shall have two (2) Years after the end of a calendar Year during which to conduct an audit of any applicable Service Provider’s books and records for such calendar Year, and any Claim arising out of or based in whole or in part on the information produced or obtained by the performance of any such audit must be made, if at all, within such two (2) Year period.

 

2.09                        Manner of Performing/Providing Services. Each Service Provider shall provide, or cause to be provided, the applicable Services (and Utilities, if applicable) in accordance with applicable standards and quality of work as are in place at the Coker Facilities and Sweeny Complex, as applicable, as of the Effective Date or as may be reasonably requested by the applicable Recipient. The Services (and Utilities, if applicable) shall be performed and provided in an efficient and prudent manner with the same degree of diligence and care that the applicable Service Provider would exercise in providing, or causing to be provided, similar services with respect to its own operations and in all respects in accordance with all applicable Laws relating to the applicable Recipient and Service Provider.  Service Provider shall provide, or shall cause to have provided, the applicable Services (and Utilities, if applicable) to be provided by it hereunder in a safe, professional and economical manner and shall advise the applicable Recipient in a timely fashion of all matters of significance that could affect the safety or economics relating to such Services and Utilities so that Recipient can make appropriate decisions with respect thereto.

6.01                        Force Majeure.  If, because of an event of Force Majeure, either Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligation to make money payments when due, and if such Party gives Notice and reasonably full particulars of such Force Majeure in writing to the other Party within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the cause relied upon, the Party giving such Notice, so far and to the extent that it is affected by such Force Majeure, shall not be liable in damages due to such Party’s failure to carry out its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the cause of the event of Force Majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch.

 

6.02                        Meaning of “Force Majeure”.  As used herein, the term “Force Majeure” shall mean (i) acts of God, fires, floods or storms; (ii) compliance with orders of courts or Governmental Authorities; (iii) explosions, wars, terrorist acts or riots; (iv) inability to obtain or unavoidable delays in obtaining material or equipment; (v) accidental disruption of service; (vi) events or circumstances similar to the foregoing (including inability to obtain or unavoidable delays in obtaining material or equipment and disruption of service provided by third parties); (vii) strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; and (viii) breakdown of refinery facilities, machinery, storage tanks or pipelines, however in all such cases, in order to qualify as Force Majeure the event must meet all of the following criteria: (a) prevent the claiming Party from performing its obligations under this Agreement, (b) be beyond the claiming Party’s reasonable control, (c) does not result from the negligence or willful misconduct of the claiming Party or any of its Affiliates, and (d) was not preventable by the claiming Party’s reasonable diligence.

6.04                        Performance by Service Provider or Third Parties.  If, because of an event of Force Majeure, a Service Provider is unable to perform any part of the Services and/or provide such Utilities to be provided by such Service Provider hereunder, the applicable Recipient may perform such Services and/or provide such Utilities itself or arrange for such Services and/or Utilities to be performed or provided by a third party, but only for the duration of such event of Force Majeure.

3.3          Owner shall accept custody of and shall provide processing of the Feedstock up to the Contract Quantity and any additional volumes to which the parties hereto may mutually agree.  Volumes above the Contract Quantity will be accepted by Owner for processing on a space available basis to the extent operationally feasible.  Owner will accept commercially reasonable amounts of Slop and Slurry for processing into the delayed coker unit at the Facilities to the extent operationally feasible.

 

3.4          Subject to Section 3.6, the mass of Products delivered during any Month shall be deemed to be equal to the mass of Feedstock delivered to Owner for Customer’s account during such Month plus changes in Customer’s Feedstock and Products stored at the Facilities during the Month.

ARTICLE IV

 

STORAGE, CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE

 

4.1          Owner will provide Customer with a commercially reasonable amount of temporary storage of Feedstock and Products.

 

4.2          Owner shall operate, maintain, modify and improve the Facilities in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Except as provided in Section 4.3 with respect to any Operational Modifications, Section 6.5 with respect to any expenditures requested by Customer, Article XIII with respect to any changes in law, and with respect to any turnarounds, in the event that continuing to provide the services under this Agreement would require Owner to make substantial and unanticipated expenditures related to the operation, maintenance, modification or improvement of the Facilities, then either party shall have the right to call a meeting between appropriate personnel of each party.  Any such meeting shall be held at a mutually agreeable location and will be attended by personnel of each party having sufficient authority to commit his or her respective party to a Resolution (as defined below).  At the meeting, the parties will negotiate in good faith with the objective of reaching a joint resolution, which will, among other things, specify steps to be taken by Owner and/or Customer to fully accomplish such resolution and the deadlines by which resolution must be completed (the “Resolution”).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Resolution shall set forth an agreed upon time schedule for the agreed upon activities.  Such time schedule shall be reasonable under the circumstances, consistent with customary industry standards and shall take into account Owner’s economic considerations relating to the costs and fees received for providing the services under this Agreement.  Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide services to Customer at the Facilities, to the extent the Facilities are operationally capable of the provision of such services, during the period contemplated by the Resolution.  In the event the parties agree to a Resolution, then neither party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to any provision of this Section 4.2 so long as any work contemplated by such Resolution is underway and is being completed in a timely manner in accordance with the specifications included in the Resolution (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any deadlines included therein).  If either Customer or Owner elects not to agree to a Resolution and (i) the Facilities are unable to perform all of the services hereunder, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate, or (ii) the Facilities are able to perform some, but not all of the services hereunder, then Customer shall have the option, on 15 days’ prior written notice to Owner to terminate this Agreement or elect to have this Agreement apply only to the services that can be provided in the absence of the Resolution in which case the parties will cooperate in good faith to make such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to reflect such election.  Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing, if the Facilities are unable to perform any of the services hereunder as a result of the operations or condition of facilities upstream or downstream of the Facilities or as a result of acts or omissions of Customer or its Affiliates, unless agreed upon in writing by Owner, Customer shall not have the option to terminate this Agreement nor have the option to elect to have this Agreement apply to services on less than the Minimum Contract Quantity.

4.3          Customer may at any time make a written request to Owner for an operational modification, including the installation of additional equipment and/or capacity expansion at the Facilities (each, an “Operational Modification”), and shall include in such written request the parameters and specifications of the requested Operational Modification.  Upon receipt of such a request, Owner shall promptly evaluate the relevant factors related to such request, including, without limitation:  engineering and design criteria, limitations affecting the Operational Modification, cost and financing factors and the effect of the Operational Modification on the overall operation of the Facilities.  If Owner determines that such Operational Modification is operationally and commercially feasible, Owner shall present a proposal to Customer concerning the design and projected costs of such Operational Modification and how such costs might be funded by or recovered from Customer.  If Owner determines the Operational Modification is not commercially or operationally reasonable and prudent, it shall provide Customer with an explanation of and justification for such determination.  If Owner notifies Customer that the Operational Modification may be commercially and operationally reasonable and prudent, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine appropriate terms and conditions of Owner’s implementation of such Operational Modification, which shall include, without limitation, the scope and the appropriate timing of such Operational Modification as well as a reasonable recovery to Owner with regard to such Operational Modification, (which may include, without limitation, direct reimbursement of all or part of the costs by Customer, an increase in fees described in Article VI and/or an increase in the Minimum Contract Quantity).

 

ARTICLE V

 

MEASUREMENT AND QUALITY

 

5.1          Measurements, volume corrections, and calibrations shall be performed in accordance with the procedures and processes used at the Facilities as of the Effective Date consistent with general accepted industry practices, unless otherwise mutually agreed.  Receipts of Feedstock into the Facilities shall be measured at the meter currently owned by Customer and located on the line between Customer’s sour crude unit and Owner’s vacuum distillation unit.  Customer shall operate and maintain the meter in accordance with generally accepted industry practices.  Owner shall be permitted to access the meter and may request Customer provide meter provings at Customer’s cost on a commercially reasonable basis.  The parties acknowledge that Customer’s existing meter measuring Feedstock into the Facilities is not of custody quality.

 

5.2          The quality of the Feedstock, Slop, and Slurry received at the Facilities for Customer’s account and the quality of Products delivered to Customer or its Carriers will meet generally accepted industry standards, as applicable.  Owner may, from time to time, establish additional specifications that the Feedstock, Slop and/or Slurry must satisfy due to any safety, environmental or operational considerations at or relating to the Facilities.  For any service or function requested by Customer not specifically provided for in this Agreement, Customer will pay a prompt charge if the service is able to be provided by Owner or a third-party as agreed in advance by the parties hereto in writing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer waives any right to claim damages for contamination of Customer’s products due to line displacement and/or use of common lines.

COMPENSATION TO OWNER

 

6.1          For each delivery Month during the term of this Agreement, Customer shall pay to Owner the following fees in consideration for Owner’s provision of the services described herein:

 

(a)           (i) a fixed tolling fee equal to $[ ]/Barrel for the Minimum Contract Quantity, plus (ii) for any volumes of Feedstock in excess of the Minimum Contract Quantity that are delivered to the Facilities and accepted by Owner for processing hereunder, an excess tolling fee equal to $[ ]/ Barrel.  In either case, the fixed tolling fee and excess tolling fee will be increased, but never decreased, by an amount equal to 100% of the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (the “CPI-U”), as reported during the Month immediately preceding the effective date of the adjustment, with the annual adjustment effective August 1st of each year;

 

(b)           a variable tolling fee equal to (x) the Houston Ship Channel price for natural gas as reported by Inside FERC’s Gas Market report for the delivery Month (in dollars per million BTUs) multiplied by (x) 0.21 multiplied by (x) the total number of Barrels of Feedstock processed by Owner; and

 

(c)           a Service Fee (as calculated pursuant to Section 7.2 below).

 

6.2          Subject to Section 6.4, for each delivery Month, if Customer delivers less than the Minimum Contract Quantity, Customer shall pay the fixed tolling fee and the Service Fee on the Minimum Contract Quantity.

 

6.3          Adjustment of Tolling Fees. The fixed tolling fee, excess tolling fee and variable tolling fee (collectively, the “Tolling Fee”) shall be adjusted in the manner set forth on Exhibit A. Prior to each such adjustment, Owner shall provide Customer with a written budget describing all of the rates, which shall be based on Owner’s good faith estimate of the costs of the applicable turnaround and calculated in accordance with Exhibit A (the “Turnaround Budget”).

 

6.4          Partial Period Proration.  If the Effective Date is any Day other than the first Day of a Month, then the Feedstock delivered to the Facilities for Customer’s account from the first Day of the Month through the Effective Date shall be considered for purposes of determining whether Company tendered its Minimum Contract Quantity for the Month.  If this Agreement is terminated on any Day other than the last Day of a Month, then any calculation determined with respect to a Month will be prorated by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Days in that part of the Month ending on the date of such termination, and the denominator of which is the number of Days in the Month.

 

6.5          Recovery of Certain Expenditures Requested by Customer.  If Customer requests that Owner make any expenditures in connection with its provision of new or additional services requested by Customer hereunder at the Facilities (other than as contemplated under

 

[Form of Amended and Restated Tolling Services Agreement]

Section 4.3), such request must be conveyed in writing by Customer and, if accepted by Owner in writing, Owner shall make such expenditures upon the parties’ agreement to allow Owner to recover such expenditures over time (which may include, without limitation, direct reimbursement of all or a part of the costs by Customer, an increase in fees described in this Article VI and/or an increase in the Minimum Contract Quantity).

 

ARTICLE VII

 

TAXES AND OTHER PAYMENTS

 

7.1          Customer shall be responsible for the payment of any royalties, overriding royalties and other payments due or to become due on the hydrocarbons which are subject to this Agreement.  Any tax applicable to the Feedstock, Slop, Slurry or Products (including but not limited to any tax applicable to stored volumes of Products, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any income or similar taxes imposed on the income of Owner) shall be borne and paid by Customer unless such tax is by Law imposed upon Owner, in which event, such tax shall be paid by Owner and charged to and reimbursed by Customer.  CUSTOMER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD OWNER, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS OR CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND, TOGETHER WITH ALL LOSS, DAMAGE AND EXPENSE (INCLUDING COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEY’S FEES) ARISING WITH RESPECT TO THE PAYMENT OF ANY TAXES, ROYALTIES, OVERRIDING ROYALTIES AND OTHER PAYMENTS DUE OR TO BECOME DUE ON THE PRODUCTS WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

7.2          In the fourth Quarter of each calendar year, Owner shall determine, in good faith, an estimate of the total annual property taxes owed for the immediately succeeding calendar year on the Facilities owned by Owner and located on the real property near the Sweeny Refinery Complex, and then use such estimate to calculate a per-Barrel fee (“Service Fee”) to be assessed on the Customer’s Minimum Contract Quantity, regardless of whether the Minimum Contract Quantity is actually delivered.  The Service Fee will be calculated by dividing such estimate by the Minimum Contract Quantity, i.e., 110,000 Barrels per Day * the number of  Days in the immediately succeeding calendar year.  Owner will provide written notice to Customer of the Service Fee to be assessed in the upcoming calendar year in accordance with the notice provisions in Section 14.7 below.  As between the parties, Owner shall pay all property taxes on the Facilities that become due after the Effective Date.  The Service Fee shall be $[ ] per Barrel on the Customer’s Minimum Contract Quantity for the remaining portion of the 2017 calendar year.  The Service Fee shall be included on Customer’s Monthly statement described in Section 9.1 below.

(a)                                 Payment of the amount(s) identified on each Monthly statement shall be due, without discount, on the later of (i) two (2) Business Days after such Monthly statement is received, and (ii) the 22nd Day of the Month in which such Monthly statement is received, provided that if such Day is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be due on the next Business Day.  Payments not paid by the later of (A) the last Day of the Month in which such Monthly statement is received and (B) the date that is two (2) Business Days after such Monthly statement is received shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of 1.5% per Month and the maximum rate allowed by Law for each Month or portion of a Month thereafter during which such amount remains unpaid.

ARTICLE X

 

FORCE MAJEURE

 

10.1                        As soon as possible upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure, if any party hereto is affected by a Force Majeure event, such party shall provide the other party with written notice of the occurrence of such Force Majeure event.  Each party’s obligations (other than a party’s obligation to indemnify the other party or a party’s obligation to pay any amounts due to the other party which have accrued prior to the commencement of such Force Majeure event) shall be temporarily suspended during the occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure event to the extent that such an event prevents Owner from performing its obligations under this Agreement (other than Customer’s payment obligations (aside from obligations relating to the Turnaround Fee, as defined in Exhibit A)).  Each party’s obligations (other than a party’s obligation to indemnify the other party or a party’s obligation to pay any amounts due to the other party which have accrued prior to the commencement of such Force Majeure event) shall be temporarily suspended (other than Customer’s payment obligations (aside from obligations relating to the Turnaround Fee), which shall be suspended beginning twenty (20) days after the commencement of a Force Majeure event) after the commencement of, and for the entire remaining duration of, a Force Majeure event to the extent that such event prevents Customer from performing its obligations under this Agreement.  For clarity, except as expressly provided in this Section 10.1, the fees set forth in Article VI shall not accrue while each party’s obligations are suspended, except that the payment obligations in respect of the Turnaround Fee shall be payable in all circumstances.  At the conclusion of the Force Majeure event, the fees applicable to the Month in which the suspension due to the Force Majeure event remained in effect shall be ratably reduced to reflect such suspension.

 

10.2                        A party affected by a Force Majeure event shall take commercially reasonable steps to remedy such situation so that it may resume the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement within a reasonable period of time.

 

10.3                        The settlement of strikes, lockouts and other labor disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of the affected party and the requirement to remedy a Force Majeure event within a reasonable period of time shall not require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of an opposing person or entity when such course is inadvisable in the discretion of the affected party.

 

[Form of Amended and Restated Tolling Services Agreement]

 

11



 

10.4                        Owner may suspend performance of the services to the extent reasonably necessary to prevent injuries to persons, damage to property or harm to the environment.

 

10.5                        If a Force Majeure event prevents either Owner or Customer from performing its respective obligations under this Agreement for a period of more than 12 consecutive Months, this Agreement may be terminated by either party hereto at any time after the expiration of such 12-Month period upon at least 30 Days’ notice to the other party.

 

ARTICLE XI

 

DEFAULT

 

If either party hereto is in material default of the provisions of this Agreement and such default has not been remedied within 60 Days after written notice from the non-defaulting party (the “Cure Period”), then the non-defaulting party may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it, terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to the defaulting party within five (5) Days following expiration of said Cure Period.

ARTICLE XIII

 

CHANGE IN LAW

 

If new Laws require Owner to make substantial and unanticipated expenditures in connection with the services Owner provides to Customer under this Agreement, Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to secure a waiver, exception or extension for the time of compliance with the new Law in an effort to secure continued operation under existing applicable Laws during the term of this Agreement.  If Owner is unable to secure a waiver, exception or extension for continued operation using commercially reasonable efforts, then Owner will find a commercially reasonable manner to conform to the new Laws and give Customer commercially reasonable advance notice of any planned expenditures necessary for such compliance.  Customer will reimburse Owner for Customer’s proportionate share of the costs of complying with such Laws, or at Owner’s option, and if the parties agree, the relevant fees will be increased or an alternate mechanism shall be adopted to allow Owner to recover the amount paid for such costs over time from Customer or another entity.  The Customer’s “proportionate share” of the costs of complying with such Laws referenced in the immediately preceding sentence shall be 100% if Customer is Owner’s sole customer for services of the type that Owner provides under this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE XIV

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

14.1                        This Agreement may be scanned and stored electronically, or stored on computer tapes and disks, as may be practicable (the “Imaged Agreement”).  The Imaged Agreement if introduced as evidence in printed format, in any judicial, arbitration, mediation or administrative proceedings, will be admissible as between the parties to the same extent and under the same conditions as other business records originated and maintained in documentary form.  Neither party shall object to the admissibility of any Imaged Agreement (or photocopies of the transcription of such Imaged Agreement) on the basis that such were not originated or maintained in documentary form under either the hearsay rule or the best evidence rule.  However, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of any other objection to the admissibility of such evidence.

14.3                        THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY ACTIONS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS OR SETTLEMENTS HEREUNDER, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES WHICH MIGHT REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS (AS APPLICABLE) LOCATED IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, AND TO ALL COURTS COMPETENT TO HEAR AND DETERMINE APPEALS THEREFROM, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTIONS THAT A SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHOULD BE BROUGHT IN ANOTHER COURT AND ANY OBJECTIONS TO INCONVENIENT FORUM.

 

14.4                        No waiver by either party of any default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any future default, whether of a like or a different character.

 

14.5                        This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  No party may assign this Agreement, nor any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that either party hereto may (i) assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to an affiliate without the consent of the other party or (ii) make collateral assignments of this Agreement to secure working capital or other financing without the consent of the other party.  Such assignment shall be effective upon notice sent by the assigning party.  Upon the occurrence of a Partnership Change in Control (as hereinafter defined), Owner shall provide Customer with a notice of any Partnership Change in Control at least 60 Days prior to the effective date thereof.  Within 180 Days following receipt of such notice, Customer may elect to terminate this Agreement, effective no earlier than the effective date of such Partnership Change in Control. In the event this Agreement is terminated early as a result of Partnership Change in Control, Customer shall have no further payment obligations to Owner except for those incurred prior to the date of such early termination.  A “Partnership Change in Control” means Customer ceases to Control the general partner of Phillips 66 Partners LP.

 

14.6                        It is not the intention of the parties to create, and this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to create, a partnership, joint venture or association or a trust.  This Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to authorize any party to act as an agent, servant or employee for any other party for any purpose whatsoever except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement.

United States Army Corps of Engineers, Civil Action No. 17-267 (JEB)), United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

 

In its June 14, 2017, ruling, the District Court  found that the Army Corps’ review and consideration of construction and operation of the DAPL Assets substantially complied with the National Environmental Policy Act in many respects, but that the Army Corps failed to adequately consider the impacts of an oil spill on Indian fishing and hunting rights, environmental justice, and the degree to which the DAPL Assets’ effects are likely to be highly controversial.  The District Court remanded these matters to the Army Corps for reconsideration as part of its environmental analysis.  Additionally, the District Court ordered briefing on whether the DAPL Assets must cease operations while the remand to the Army Corps is pending, which briefing was completed on August 28, 2017.

 

This disclosure is made solely with respect to Sections 3.7(a), 3.7(b) and 3.7(d).
