(b) compliance with the requirements of the LLC Agreement (as amended, supplemented or modified after the date hereof) and Applicable Law; and

(c) having an acceptable common carrier rate under the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulations;

provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership shall not be required to pursue the expansion if such expansion would result in UNEV Pipeline receiving less than a 15% unlevered rate of return on the actual capital cost incurred by UNEV Pipeline with respect to such expansion.

Article IX INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Indemnification of Buyer and Seller. From and after the Closing and subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE IX, (i) Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Buyer Indemnified Costs and (ii) Buyer and the Partnership agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Seller Indemnified Costs. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any Buyer Indemnified Costs are incurred by or attributable to UNEV Pipeline (a) the amount of Buyer Indemnified Costs that the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to recover under this Article IX shall be limited to an amount that is the product of (x) the amount of the Buyer Indemnified Costs, multiplied by (y) the Company’s percentage ownership interest in UNEV Pipeline at the time such Buyer Indemnified Costs were incurred by UNEV Pipeline and (b) payment with respect to such Buyer Indemnified Costs shall be directed to, for the benefit of and recoverable solely by, the Company or its designee (and not UNEV Pipeline).

9.2 Defense of Third-Party Claims. An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to Seller or Buyer, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), of the commencement or assertion of any action, proceeding, demand, or claim by a third party (collectively, a “third-party action”) in respect of which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder. Any failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it, he, or she may have to such Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE IX unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of, settle, or otherwise dispose of such third-party action on such terms as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that:

#PageNum#

(d) The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such third-party action (provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the Indemnified Party if (i) the employment of separate counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such third-party action, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to have charge of such third-party action, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (iv) the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall have advised the Indemnified Party in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that there is a material conflict of interest that could violate applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel);

(e) The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before entering into or making any settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of the validity of such third-party action or any liability in respect thereof if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if, in the opinion of the Indemnified Party, such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment could have a material adverse effect on its business;

(f) The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such third-party action; and

(g) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of any third-party action (i) as to which the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within a reasonable length of time or (ii) to the extent the third-party action seeks an order, injunction, or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall make no settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment that would give rise to liability on the part of any Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party.

The Parties shall extend reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense of any third-party action pursuant to this ARTICLE IX and, in connection therewith, shall furnish such records, information, and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals as may be reasonably requested.

9.3 Direct Claims. In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder which is not subject to Section 9.2 because no third-party action is involved, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any Indemnified Costs which such Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.4(a), the failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness

#PageNum#

in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim unless the resulting delay materially prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.

9.4 Limitations. The following provisions of this Section 9.4 shall limit the indemnification obligations hereunder:

(a) Limitation as to Time. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Indemnified Costs pursuant to this ARTICLE IX with respect to claims for breaches of the representations and warranties under this Agreement unless a written claim for indemnification in accordance with Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto on or before 5:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the first anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for Indemnified Costs with respect to claims for indemnification for breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1 (Organization), 4.2 (Authorization), 4.6 (Title to LLC Interests; Capitalization), 4.9 (Taxes), 4.21 (Waivers and Disclaimers), 5.1 (Organization), 5.2 (Authorization), 5.6 (Validity of Profits Interest), 6.1 (Organization), 6.2 (Authorization), 6.6 (Validity of Aggregate Units) and 6.7 (No Knowledge of Breach) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) if a written claim for indemnification in accordance with Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; provided further, however, that any representation and warranty that is the subject of a claim for indemnification hereunder which claim was timely made pursuant to Section 9.4(a) shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally paid or adjudicated. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section 9.4(a) shall not apply to claims for Buyer Indemnified Costs relating to matters set forth on Seller Disclosure Schedule 1.1.

(b) Limitation as to Amount of Indemnification for Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Solely with respect to Buyer Indemnified Costs arising out of breaches of the representations and warranties of Seller under this Agreement, (1) Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 9.1, until the aggregate amount of all Buyer Indemnified Costs arising out of breaches of the representations and warranties of Seller under this Agreement exceeds $2,000,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for the Buyer Indemnified Costs arising out of breaches of such representations and warranties in excess of the Deductible; and (2) the aggregate amount of all Buyer Indemnified Costs arising out of breaches of the representations and warranties of Seller under this Agreement for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.1, shall not exceed $15,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Deductible and the Cap shall not apply to claims for Buyer Indemnified Costs relating to breaches of the Fundamental Representations; provided, further, that the Deductible shall be counted towards the satisfaction of the Cap such that the aggregate amount of Buyer Indemnified Costs for which Seller may be liable under Section 9.1 relating to claims for which the Deductible and Cap apply shall in no event exceed $13,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section 9.4(b) shall not apply to claims for Buyer Indemnified Costs relating to matters set forth on Seller Disclosure Schedule 1.1.

(c) Amount of Damages for Breaches of Section 6.7. The amount of Seller

#PageNum#

Indemnified Costs with respect to any claims for breaches of the representation by Buyer set forth in Section 6.7 (No Knowledge of Breach) shall be deemed to be equal to the amount of Buyer Indemnified Costs, if any, for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are seeking or have sought indemnification under this ARTICLE IX with respect to the breach of a representation or warranty of Seller of which the Partnership had knowledge that resulted in the breach of Section 6.7.

(d) Limitation as to Amount of Indemnification for Matters Set Forth on Seller Disclosure Schedule 1.1. Solely with respect to Buyer Indemnified Costs relating to matters set forth on Seller Disclosure Schedule 1.1, Seller shall only be required to pay or be liable for, and Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to recover, 75% of the Buyer Indemnified Costs for which Seller would otherwise be liable under Section 9.1 (after giving effect to the last sentence of Section 9.1) with respect to such matters.

(e) Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, after the Closing Date, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer’s and the other Buyer Indemnified Parties’ and Seller’s and the other Seller Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the Indemnified Costs shall be in accordance with, and limited by, the provisions set forth in this ARTICLE IX. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the foregoing is not the remedy for and does not limit the Parties’ remedies for matters covered by the indemnification provisions contained in the Omnibus Agreement.

9.5 Tax Related Adjustments. Seller and Buyer agree that any payment of Indemnified Costs made hereunder will be treated by the Parties on their tax returns as an adjustment to the Cash Consideration component of the Purchase Price.

10.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced under Applicable Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated herein are not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

10.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of

#PageNum#

another state. Each Party hereby submits to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Texas and to venue in Dallas, Texas. EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

10.5 Arbitration Provision. Any and all Arbitrable Disputes must be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section 10.5 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 10.5 will control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by a Party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on the other Party (“Respondent”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If the Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the second arbitrator has been appointed. The Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by it, and the Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. The Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of any of Seller, Buyer or any of their Affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven (7) years experience in the petroleum transportation industry. The hearing will be conducted in Dallas, Texas and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator. Seller, Buyer and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages of any kind. The Arbitrable Disputes may be arbitrated in a common proceeding along with disputes under other agreements between Seller, Buyer or their Affiliates to the extent that the issues raised in such disputes are related. Without the written consent of the Parties, no unrelated disputes or third party disputes may be joined to an arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.

10.6 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.7 Assignment of Agreement. At any time, the Parties may make a collateral

#PageNum#

assignment of their rights under this Agreement to any of their bona fide lenders or debt holders, or a trustee or a representative for any of them, and the non-assigning Parties shall execute an acknowledgment of such collateral assignment in such form as may from time to time be reasonably requested; provided, however, that unless written notice is given to the non-assigning Parties that any such collateral assignment has been foreclosed upon, such non-assigning Parties shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Seller, Buyer or the Partnership, as the case may be, as to any matters arising under this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Omnibus Agreement (other than for delivery of notices required by any such collateral assignment). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.7, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties.

10.8 Captions. The captions in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the interpretation hereof.

10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.10 Director and Officer Liability. The directors, managers, officers, partners and stockholders of the Partnership, Seller, Buyer, and their respective Affiliates shall not have any personal liability or obligation arising under this Agreement (including any claims that another party may assert) other than, if applicable, as a direct party to or an assignee of this Agreement or pursuant to a written guarantee.

10.11 Integration. This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Omnibus Agreement supersede any previous understandings or agreements among the Parties, whether oral or written, with respect to their subject matter. This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Omnibus Agreement contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. No understanding, representation, promise or agreement, whether oral or written, is intended to be or shall be included in or form part of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Omnibus Agreement unless it is contained in a written amendment hereto or thereto and executed by the Parties hereto or thereto after the date of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Omnibus Agreement.

10.12 Effect of Agreement. The Parties ratify and confirm that except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in the event this Agreement conflicts in any way with the Omnibus Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Omnibus Agreement shall control.

10.13 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended only in a writing signed by all Parties. Any waiver of rights hereunder must be set forth in writing. A waiver of any breach or failure to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not in any way affect, limit or waive any party’s rights at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter with every term or condition of this Agreement.
