The Partnership will advise the Representatives promptly (i) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective; (ii) when any supplement to the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment to the Prospectus has been filed or distributed; (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or the receipt of any comments from the Commission relating to the Registration Statement or any other request by the Commission for any additional information; (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, any of the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act; (v) of the occurrence of any event or development within the Prospectus Delivery Period as a result of which the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; (vi) of the receipt by the Partnership of any notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act; and (vii) of the receipt by the Partnership of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Notes for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and the Partnership will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, any of the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or suspending any such qualification of the Notes and, if any such order is issued, will use its best efforts to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.
(e) Ongoing Compliance. (1) If during the Prospectus Delivery Period (i) any event or development shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, the Partnership will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representatives may designate such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus as may be necessary so that the statements in the Prospectus (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law and (2) if at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) any event or development shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Pricing Disclosure Package as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Pricing Disclosure Package is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package to comply with applicable law, the Partnership will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission (to the extent required) and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representatives may designate such amendments or supplements to the Pricing Disclosure Package (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the statements in the Pricing Disclosure
18
Package as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Pricing Disclosure Package is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Pricing Disclosure Package will comply with applicable law.
(f) Blue Sky Compliance. The Partnership will furnish such information as may be required and otherwise cooperate in qualifying the Notes for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives shall reasonably request and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for distribution of the Notes; provided that the Partnership shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign limited partnership or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify; (ii) take any action that would subject it to service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not now so subject; or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.
(g) Earnings Statement. The Partnership will make generally available (within the meaning of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) to its security holders, and, if not available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System, deliver to the Representatives, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 under the Securities Act of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
(h) Clear Market. The Partnership will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any U.S. dollar denominated debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Partnership and having a maturity of more than one year from the date of issue, or publicly disclose an intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, for a period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the business day following the Closing Date.
(i) The Depositary. The Partnership will cooperate with the Representatives and use its reasonable best efforts to permit the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of the Depositary.
(j) Use of Proceeds. The Partnership will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes as described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds.”
(k) No Stabilization. The Partnership Parties, and their respective directors or officers, affiliates or controlling persons, will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Partnership to facilitate the sale or resale of the Notes.
(l) Record Retention. The Partnership will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the Securities Act.
5. Certain Agreements of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter hereby represents and agrees that:
(a) It has not used, authorized use of, referred to or participated in the planning for use of, and will not use, authorize use of, refer to or participate in the planning for use of, any “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (which term includes use of any written information furnished to the Commission by the Partnership and not incorporated by reference and any press release issued by the
19
Partnership) required to be filed by the Partnership with the Commission or retained by the Partnership under Rule 433 other than (i) a free writing prospectus that contains no “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act) that was not included (including through incorporation by reference) in the Preliminary Prospectus or a previously filed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus; (ii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Annex B or prepared pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 4(c) above (including any electronic road show); or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by such Underwriter and approved by the Partnership in advance in writing (each such free writing prospectus referred to in clause (i) or (iii), an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”).

7. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. Each of the Partnership Parties agrees, severally and jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, employees, agents, members, directors and officers, each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, any “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of such Underwriter that has, or is alleged to have, participated in the distribution of the Notes, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any and all losses,
22
claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted), joint or several, that any such Underwriter or any such person may incur, insofar as such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Partnership) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (including the Preliminary Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”) or the Pricing Disclosure Package (including the Pricing Disclosure Package if subsequently amended), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Partnership or the General Partner in writing by such Underwriter by or on behalf of such Underwriter expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.
(b) Indemnification of the Partnership Parties. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership Parties, their respective partners, employees, agents, members, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls a Partnership Party within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Partnership or the General Partner in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Partnership), the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any road show or the Pricing Disclosure Package (including the Pricing Disclosure Package if subsequently amended), it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: (i) the paragraphs related to stabilization and syndicate covering transactions, only insofar as such statements relate to the amount of selling concession and reallowance or to over-allotment and stabilization activities that may be undertaken by the Underwriters and (ii) the information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of the Underwriters under “Underwriting—Relationships.”
(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the
23
Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable period of time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person, on the advice of counsel, shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel required under the rules of the applicable jurisdiction) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate counsel for any Underwriter, its affiliates, partners, employees, agents, members, directors and officers, any control persons of such Underwriter, and any successor or assign of the foregoing persons, shall be designated in writing by the Representatives and any such separate counsel for any Partnership Party, its affiliates, partners, employees, agents, members, directors and officers and any control persons of any Partnership Party shall be designated in writing by the Partnership. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Person.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each applicable Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership from the sale of the Notes and the total underwriting
24
discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Notes. The relative fault of the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Partnership or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such claim or action.
(e) Limitation on Liability. The Partnership Parties and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to paragraph (d) above were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (d) and (e), in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Notes exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to paragraphs (d) and (e) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.
(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 paragraphs (a) through (e) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.
8. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice to the Partnership and each other Underwriter, if (1) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any of the NYSE or the Nasdaq Stock Market; (ii) trading of the Partnership’s Common Units shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred any downgrading of the type described in Section 6(d); or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in each case, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Notes on the Closing Date, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or (2) since the time of execution of this Agreement or the earlier respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus there has been any Material Adverse Effect that would make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. If the Representatives elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 9, the Partnership shall be notified promptly in writing.
25
10. Defaulting Underwriter.
(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date (other than for a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6 hereof or a reason sufficient to justify the termination of this Agreement under the provisions of Section 9 hereof), the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Notes by other persons satisfactory to the Partnership on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Notes, then the Partnership shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Notes on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Notes of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non‑defaulting Underwriters or the Partnership may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Partnership agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Notes that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Partnership as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate amount of Notes that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date does not exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Notes to be purchased on such date, then the Partnership shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the amount of Notes that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder on such date plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the amount of Notes that such Underwriter agreed to purchase on such date) of the Notes of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Partnership as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate amount of Notes that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date exceeds 10% of the aggregate amount of Notes to be purchased on such date, or if the Partnership shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then, with respect to the Closing Date, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Partnership Parties, except that the Partnership Parties will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.
(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Partnership or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.
11. Payment of Expenses.

Certificate of Chief Financial Officer
October 11, 2016
I, Kevin J. Mitchell, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated October 11, 2016, among Phillips 66 Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Mizuho Securities USA Inc., as Representatives of the several Underwriters listed in Schedule 1 thereto, do hereby certify that I am the Chief Financial Officer of Phillips 66 Partners GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership, and, in my capacity as such and not in my personal capacity, do hereby certify, that, as of the date hereof:
1. | I am (i) responsible for the financial and accounting matters of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, including oversight of the financial and accounting functions and staff, and (ii) knowledgeable about the internal accounting records and accounting practices, systems, policies and procedures of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. |
2. | I have reviewed each of the items identified on certain pages of the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2016 (the “May 8-K Filing”), which is incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, which are attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Sweeny Frac Certified Information”). |
3. | I have reviewed each of the items identified on certain pages of the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 11, 2016 (the “October 8-K Filing”), which is incorporated by reference into the Prospectus (excluding any information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01), which are attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Eagle Certified Information”). |
4. | Each of the Sweeny Frac Certified Information and the Eagle Certified Information (a) was prepared in good faith by the Partnership, (b) was prepared on the basis of reasonable assumptions and (c) as of the date of the May 8-K Filing or October 8-K Filing, as applicable, fairly presented in all material respects the matters which it purported to present. Nothing has come to my attention nor, to my knowledge, the attention of any other member of the Partnership’s accounting staff, that would cause me to believe that the Sweeny Frac Certified Information or the Eagle Certified Information is no longer accurate or has become misleading in any material respect, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. |
Capitalized terms not defined in this certificate have the meaning ascribed to them in the Underwriting Agreement.
