INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Indemnification of SHLX.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, SPLC shall indemnify, defend and hold SHLX, its subsidiaries and their respective securityholders, directors, officers, and employees, and the officers, directors and employees of the General Partner, but otherwise excluding SPLC and its Affiliates (the “SHLX Indemnified Parties”), harmless from and against any and all Damages suffered or incurred by any SHLX Indemnified Party as a result of or arising out of (a) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of SPLC in this Agreement and (b) any breach of any agreement or covenant on the part of SPLC made under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, however, that for purposes of determining the amount of any Damages suffered or incurred by the SHLX Indemnified Parties, SHLX’s acquisition of only 19.5% of the membership interests of Zydeco and 1.388% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Colonial shall be taken into account such that the aggregate Damages described in this Section 8.1 suffered or incurred by the SHLX Indemnified Parties would equal 19.5% of the total of such Damages for Zydeco and 1.388% of such Damages for Colonial, as the case may be. Any indemnification provided pursuant to this Agreement shall not be duplicative of any indemnification provided pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement.

Section 8.2 Indemnification of SPLC.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, SHLX and Operating, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold SPLC, its Affiliates (other than any of SHLX Indemnified Parties) and their respective securityholders, directors, officers, agents, representatives and employees (the “SPLC Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Damages suffered or incurred by the SPLC Indemnified Parties as a result of or arising out of (a) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of SHLX or Operating in this Agreement, or (b) any breach of any agreement or covenant on the part of SHLX or Operating made under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Any indemnification provided pursuant to this Agreement shall not be duplicative of any indemnification provided pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement.

Section 8.3 Survival.

All the provisions of this Agreement shall survive the Closing, notwithstanding any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of any party hereto, provided that the representations and warranties set forth in Article III and Article IV shall terminate and expire on the date that is eighteen (18) months following

24

the Closing Date, except (a) the representations and warranties of SPLC set forth in Section 3.9 (Taxes) shall survive until the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations (including all periods of extension and tolling), (b) the representations and warranties of SPLC set forth in Section 3.10 (Zydeco Environmental Matters) shall terminate and expire on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, (c) the representations and warranties of SPLC set forth in Section 3.1 (Organization), Section 3.2 (Authority and Approval), Section 3.4(a) (Ownership) and Section 3.17 (Broker Fees) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and (d) the representations and warranties of SHLX set forth in Section 4.1 (Organization and Existence), Section 4.2 (Authority and Approval) and Section 4.4 (Broker Fees) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. After a representation and warranty has terminated and expired, no indemnification shall or may be sought pursuant to this Article VIII on the basis of that representation and warranty by any Person who would have been entitled pursuant to this Article VIII to indemnification on the basis of that representation and warranty prior to its termination and expiration, provided that in the case of each representation and warranty that shall terminate and expire as provided in this Section 8.3, no claim presented in writing for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII on the basis of that representation and warranty prior to its termination and expiration shall be affected in any way by that termination and expiration. The indemnification obligations under this Article VIII or elsewhere in this Agreement shall apply regardless of whether any suit or action results solely or in part from the active, passive or concurrent negligence or strict liability of the indemnified party. The covenants and agreements entered into pursuant to this Agreement to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing.

Section 8.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The indemnified party hereunder agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the indemnifying party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim.

(b) The indemnifying party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the indemnified party that are covered by the indemnification under this Article VIII, including the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such claim or any matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement for only the payment of money shall be entered into without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless it includes a full release of the indemnified party from such claim; provided further, that no such settlement containing any form of injunctive or similar relief shall be entered into without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.

(c) The indemnified party agrees to cooperate in good faith and in a commercially reasonably manner with the indemnifying party, with respect to all aspects of the defense of and pursuit of any counterclaims with respect to any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article VIII, including the prompt furnishing to the indemnifying party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the indemnified party may receive, permitting the name of the indemnified party to be utilized in connection with such defense and counterclaims, the making available to the indemnifying party of any files, records or other information of the indemnified party that the indemnifying party considers relevant to such defense and counterclaims, the making available to the indemnifying party of any employees of the indemnified person and the granting to the indemnifying party of reasonable access rights to the properties and facilities of the indemnified party; provided, however, that in connection therewith the indemnifying party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the indemnified party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records, and other

25

information furnished by the indemnified party pursuant to this Section 8.4. The obligation of the indemnified party to cooperate with the indemnifying party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be construed as imposing upon the indemnified party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of and pursuit of any counterclaims with respect to any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article VIII, provided, however, that the indemnified party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense and counterclaims. The indemnifying party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the indemnified party informed as to the status of any such defense or counterclaim, but the indemnifying party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense and counterclaims so long as the indemnified party is still seeking indemnification hereunder.

(d) In determining the amount of any Damages for which the indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the indemnified person in respect of such Damages from third party insurers, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any expenses related to the receipt of such proceeds, including any premium adjustments that become due and payable by the indemnified party as a result of such claim, and (ii) all amounts recovered by the indemnified party in respect of such Damages under contractual indemnities from third persons.

Section 8.5 Direct Claim.

Any claim by an indemnified party with respect to any Damages which do not result from a claim for indemnity involving a third party (a “Direct Claim”) will be asserted by giving the indemnifying party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, stating the nature of such claim in reasonable detail and indicating the estimated amount, if practicable. The indemnifying party will have a period of ninety (90) days from receipt of such Direct Claim within which to respond to such Direct Claim. If the indemnifying party does not respond within such ninety (90) day period, the indemnifying party will be deemed to have accepted such Direct Claim. If the indemnifying party rejects such Direct Claim, the indemnified party will be free to seek enforcement of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 8.6 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) To the extent that SHLX Indemnified Parties would otherwise be entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 8.1(a), SPLC shall be liable only if (i) the Damages with respect to any individual claim exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Minimum Claim Amount”) and (ii) the Damages for all claims that exceed the Minimum Claim Amount exceed, in the aggregate, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Deductible Amount”), and then SPLC shall be liable only for Damages to the extent of any excess over the Deductible Amount. In no event shall SPLC’s aggregate liability to SHLX Indemnified Parties under Section 8.1 exceed Forty-Four Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($44,800,000) (the “Ceiling Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Deductible Amount and the Ceiling Amount shall not apply to breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.4, Section 3.9, Section 3.17 and Section 3.18 or breaches of the covenant in Section 2.4, provided, that SPLC’s aggregate liability for all claims under this Agreement, including for breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties contained in such sections and for breaches of covenants, shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(b) For purposes of determining the amount of Damages, with respect to any asserted claim for indemnification by a SHLX Indemnified Party, such determination shall be made without regard to any qualifier as to “material,” “materiality” or SPLC Material Adverse Effect expressly contained in Article III (except in the case of the term Material Contract); provided that this Section 8.6(b) shall not so modify the representations and warranties for purposes of first determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred.

(c) Additionally, neither SPLC, on the one hand, nor SHLX and Operating, on the other hand, will be liable as an indemnitor under this Agreement for any consequential, incidental, special, indirect or exemplary damages suffered or incurred by the indemnified party or parties except to the extent resulting pursuant to Third Party Indemnity Claims.
