Upon completion of construction of the Initial Caverns and In-Process Cavern in accordance with the Clemens Cavern Construction Contracts, the Initial Caverns and In-Process Cavern will be sufficient to conduct the portion of the Businesses relating to the Clemens Cavern Assets consistent with prudent industry practice.

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 knowingly 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.

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

 

31



 

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.

 

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 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), the P66 Parties shall not be liable for those Damages unless the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds $7,750,000 (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) that exceed, in the aggregate, $77,500,000 (the “Cap”) less the Deductible.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding clause (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) or 8.2(d) and for breaches of Fundamental Representations without regard to the Deductible or the Cap.

 

32



 

(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.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding clause (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.

 

(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 delivers written notice to the Partnership on or before the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date.

 

8.10        Indemnification Under This Agreement and the Prior Contribution Agreement.  The Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the Prior Contribution Agreement, (i) the Partnership Group acquired the 100% of the limited liability company interests of Alpha LLC and Opco General Partner, resulting in the acquisition of a 25% indirect interest in the Sweeny Frac Assets and the Clemens Cavern Assets (the “Prior Contributed Assets”), (ii) the P66 Parties have certain indemnification obligations, including in respect of their representations and warranties and covenants thereunder and the Prior Excluded Liabilities, (iii) the Partnership Group has certain indemnification obligations, including in respect of its representations and warranties and covenants thereunder and the Subject Liabilities and (iv) through the date hereof, no Party (nor the other Partnership Indemnitees or P66 Indemnitees) has asserted any indemnification claims under the Prior Contribution Agreement. The Parties further acknowledge that, following the Effective Time, as a result of the transactions consummated pursuant to the Prior Contribution Agreement and to be consummated pursuant to this Agreement, (x) the Partnership Group will own a 100% indirect interest in the Sweeny Frac Assets and Clemens Cavern Assets and (y) for purposes of this Agreement, the Sponsor Entities will no longer be Affiliates of the P66 Parties

 

33



 

and will instead be Group Members and part of the Partnership Group.  Each Party agrees that, because each of the Prior Contribution Agreement and this Agreement provide for the indirect contribution of an interest in the Sweeny Frac Assets and the Clemens Cavern Assets, it is in the best interests of such Party (and the P66 Indemnitees and Partnership Indemnitees, as applicable) to clarify the indemnification rights and obligations (and related covenants) of the Parties with respect to the Prior Contribution Agreement and this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, from and after the Effective Time, the following terms of this Section 8.10 shall govern the Parties’ respective indemnification rights and obligations (and related covenants) and, to the extent that there shall be any conflict between the indemnification rights and obligations pursuant to the Prior Contribution Agreement and this Section 8.10, this Section 8.10 shall control and shall supersede the Prior Contribution Agreement and shall be deemed to amend the Prior Contribution Agreement, in each case, with respect to such conflict.

 

(b)           From and after the Effective Time, (i) the Sponsor Entities shall no longer be deemed P66 Parties, and the Sponsor Entities shall not be responsible for any indemnification obligations of the P66 Parties under this Agreement or the Prior Contribution Agreement and (ii) the Sponsor Entities shall be deemed Group Members, and the Sponsor Entities shall be entitled to the indemnification rights as Partnership Indemnitees, under the Prior Contribution Agreement and this Agreement; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Sponsor Entities shall be deemed P66 Parties prior to the Effective Time (including for purposes of the covenants of the P66 Parties described herein and in the Prior Contribution Agreement) and (y) the P66 Parties shall be responsible for any indemnification or other obligations of the Sponsor Entities under this Agreement or the Prior Contribution Agreement arising prior to the Effective Time.

 

(c)           Section 8.2(b) and 8.2(c) of the Prior Contribution Agreement shall be inapplicable with respect to any indemnification payments required to be made by the P66 Parties after the Effective Time and all payments of Damages after the Effective Time shall be (i) made to the applicable Partnership Indemnitee and (ii) calculated as 100% of the amount of Damages suffered by the applicable Partnership Indemnitee (including for purposes of the Deductible and Cap under this Agreement and the Prior Contribution Agreement). Additionally, the last sentence of Section 8.1 of the Prior Contribution Agreement shall be inapplicable with respect to any indemnification payments required to be made by the Partnership after the Effective Time and all payments of Damages after the Effective Time shall be made to the applicable P66 Indemnitee.

 

(d)           To the extent any Party has indemnification obligations for Damages (as defined herein and as defined in the Prior Contribution Agreement) under each of the Prior Contribution Agreement and this Agreement, such Party shall only be responsible for the aggregate amount of Damages calculated without duplication as between the Prior Contribution Agreement and this Agreement.

 

(e)           Except as provided in Section 8.8(b) of this Agreement or the Prior Contribution Agreement, to the extent the Partnership Indemnitees hereunder or thereunder are entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a) of this Agreement or Section 8.2(a)(i) of the Prior Contribution Agreement (but not including Damages for breaches of Fundamental Representations), the P66 Parties shall not be liable for Damages unless the

 

34



 

aggregate amount of Damages exceeds $10,110,000 (the “Total 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) of this Agreement or Section 8.2(a)(i) of the Prior Contribution Agreement (but not including Damages for breaches of Fundamental Representations) that exceed, in the aggregate, $101,100,000 (the “Total Cap”) less the Total Deductible.

 

(f)            Except as provided in Section 8.8(d) of this Agreement or the Prior Contribution Agreement, to the extent the P66 Indemnitees hereunder or thereunder are entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 8.1(a) of this Agreement or the Prior Contribution Agreement, the Partnership shall not be liable for Damages unless the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds, in the aggregate, the Total Deductible, and then only to the extent of any such excess; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be liable for Damages pursuant to Section 8.1(a) of this Agreement or the Prior Contribution Agreement that exceed, in the aggregate, the Total Cap less the Total Deductible.

 

(g)           The P66 Parties shall indemnify the Partnership Indemnitees for all Construction Costs, except to the extent such Construction Costs constitute a part of the P66 Opco Construction Obligation.

 

(h)           For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) nothing in this Section 8.10 or otherwise shall be deemed to limit the obligations of any P66 Party under any Prior Transaction Document other than the Prior Contribution Agreement (and then, solely to the extent provided herein) and (ii) in the event that this Agreement terminates prior to the Effective Time, the terms of the Prior Contribution Agreement shall continue to apply without any modification thereto as a result of this Section 8.10.

 

8.11        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 or Prior Transaction Documents (which claims shall be subject to the liability provisions of such Transaction Documents or Prior Transaction Documents (with respect to the Prior Contribution Agreement, as modified by this Agreement)).

 

8.12        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 P66 COMPANY

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

 

8.13        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.

 

8.14        Consideration Adjustment. The Parties agree to treat all payments made pursuant to this Article VIII or pursuant to Article VIII of the Prior Contribution Agreement as adjustments to the consideration set forth in Section 2.2 of this Agreement or the Prior Contribution Agreement, as reasonably agreed to between the Parties, for U.S. federal income 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.

FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration in hand paid, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, PHILLIPS 66 COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, whose address is 3010 Briarpark Drive, Houston, Texas 77042 herein referred to as “Grantor” whether one or more, does hereby grant unto PHILLIPS 66 PLYMOUTH LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, whose address is 3010 Briarpark Drive, Houston, Texas 77042, and all subsidiary and affiliated companies, their successors and assigns, herein referred to as “Grantee”, a right-of-way for the right from time to time to survey, construct, lay, maintain, inspect, erect, alter, operate, protect, repair, replace with same or different size pipe, relay, relocate, mark, remove and/or abandon in place one (1) pipeline; above ground valves; appurtenances; cathodic protection equipment, including the necessary electric rectifiers mounted above ground on poles with wires connecting to a source of AC or DC electricity, generators; ground beds, cables and deep wells; communication lines; electric lines and appurtenances; and fences and structures to enclose above ground facilities at the sole discretion of Grantee (all of the above herein being collectively referred to as “Facilities”), over, through, upon, under and across the following described lands in Kay County, State of Oklahoma, to wit:

 



 

SEE EXHIBIT “A”

 

The right-of-way herein granted shall be fifty feet (50’) in width, the approximate route of which is more generally described in EXHIBIT “A”, attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with additional work space as needed for construction, maintenance, repair, inspection, removal and replacement of Facilities.

 

Grantor further grants and conveys unto Grantee the right of unimpaired ingress and egress on, over, across and through the above-described lands including lands owned, leased or claimed by Grantor which are adjacent or contiguous thereto, including the right to use existing roads on the above described lands, for all purposes necessary or incidental to the exercise of the rights herein granted, with the further right to clear all trees, undergrowth, brush, structures and other obstructions from the herein granted right-of-way.  Grantor shall not impound water or build, construct, create or install, nor permit others to impound water or build, construct, create or install, any buildings, structures, fences, trees, engineering works, or any obstructions whatsoever on the herein granted right-of-way, and Grantor will not change the grade of the right-of-way without the express written consent of Grantee.

 

Grantor agrees that any payment made hereunder by Grantee for the right-of-way includes full payment for all construction damages.  Grantee agrees to pay a reasonable sum for any actual damage which may be done by Grantee to fences of Grantor caused by Grantee’s maintenance operations; provided, however, that Grantee shall not be liable to Grantor for any damages caused on the right-of-way by keeping said right-of-way clear of trees, undergrowth, brush or obstructions in the exercise of the rights herein granted.  Any payment due under this Right-of-Way Contract may be made directly to any Grantor if there be more than one.

 

Grantee shall restore the contour of the right-of-way, as near as reasonably practical to do so, upon completion of all construction, maintenance, replacement or removal operations.

 

Grantor shall have the right to fully use and enjoy said premises except as to the rights herein before granted and subject to the restrictions set forth herein.

 

When said right-of-way is no longer useful, necessary or convenient to Grantee, in its commercially reasonable opinion, Grantee shall execute and record a release of this Right-of-Way Contract.  Grantee shall have no obligation to remove any of the underground Facilities, but shall have the option, at Grantee’s sole discretion, to do so with respect to all or any of the Facilities.  In the event that Grantee removes any of the Facilities, Grantee shall restore the surface, as near as reasonably practical, to its condition prior to the construction of the Facilities.  Any Facilities remaining on the property after the expiration of 180 days following the filing of such release shall become the property of Grantor without further action by Grantee.

 

The provisions of this Right-of-Way Contract are to be considered a covenant that runs with the land herein described, and the terms, conditions, and provisions hereof shall extend to and be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto. The right-of-way and rights herein granted may be transferred, leased or assigned, from time to time, in whole or in part, and the rights herein granted, or any of them, may be exercised by any or all of the Grantees, their successors and/or assigns, either jointly or separately.

 

However, Grantee shall first obtain the consent of Grantor before any assignment is made to a non-affiliate of Grantee.  Said consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed

 

This Right-of-Way Contract may be signed in counterparts with the same effect as if each executing party signed one instrument.
