The “Closing Date,” as referred to herein, shall mean the date on which the Closing actually occurs.

(b) Effective Time. Concurrently with or as soon as practicable following the Closing, Parent and SXCP shall cause a certificate of merger effecting the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, duly executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of DRULPA and DLLCA, as applicable (the date and time of such filing (or, if agreed by the parties hereto, such later time and date as may be expressed therein as the effective date and time of the Merger) being the “Effective Time”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall merge with and into SXCP, the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and SXCP shall continue as the surviving limited partnership in the Merger (the “Surviving Entity”).

(c) Effect of the Merger on Equity Securities. Subject in each case to Sections 2.1(e) and 2.1(f), at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, SXCP, SXCP General Partner, any Holder of SXCP Common Units, any Holder of Parent Common Stock, or any other Person:

(i) Merger Consideration. Each of the SXCP Public Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive:

(x)

1.40 shares of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Parent Common Stock (such conversion ratio, the “Exchange Ratio”), and

(y)

a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of

(aa)

the number of days beginning with the first day of the most recent full calendar quarter with respect to which an SXCP unitholder distribution record date has not occurred (or, if there is no such full calendar quarter, then beginning with the first day of the partial calendar quarter in which the Closing occurs), and ending on the day immediately prior to the Closing, multiplied by

(bb)

the quotient of the Daily Distribution Rate divided by $10.91

((x) and (y) collectively, the “Merger Consideration”).

(ii) Retirement of SXCP Public Units. Each SXCP Public Unit, upon being converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1(c), shall cease to be outstanding and shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each Holder of such SXCP Public Units immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter cease to be a limited partner of SXCP or have any rights with respect to such SXCP Public Units, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any distributions, dividends and Fractional Share Proceeds to which former Holders of SXCP Public Units become entitled all in accordance with this Article II upon the Surrender of (A) a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented SXCP Public Units (a “SXCP Certificate”) or (B) uncertificated SXCP Public Units represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry SXCP Common Units”), together with such properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents in accordance with Section 2.2.

(iii) Treatment of Parent-Owned Partnership Interests. All (a) SXCP General Partner Interest, (b) SXCP Incentive Distribution Rights, and (c) SXCP Common Units that are not SXCP Public Units shall, in each case, remain outstanding as partnership interests in the Surviving Entity, unaffected by the Merger.

(iv) Equity of Merger Sub. The limited liability company interests in Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive an aggregate number of common units of the Surviving Entity equal to the number of SXCP Public Units that are converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i). At the Effective Time, the books and records of SXCP shall be revised to reflect the cancellation and retirement of all SXCP Public Units and the conversion of the limited liability company interest in Merger Sub into common units of the Surviving Entity, and the existence of SXCP (as the Surviving Entity) shall continue without dissolution.

(d) Other Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall be conducted in accordance with and shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of DRULPA and DLLCA. At the Effective Time, (i) the certificate of limited partnership of SXCP shall continue as the certificate of limited partnership of the Surviving Entity, and (ii) the SXCP Partnership Agreement shall remain unchanged and shall continue as the agreement of limited partnership of the Surviving Entity, until duly amended in accordance with applicable Laws and the terms of the SXCP Partnership Agreement.

(e) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger and (ii) each registered Holder of SXCP Public Units exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all SXCP Public Units held by such Holder immediately prior to the Effective Time) shall receive, from the Exchange Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1(e), a cash payment, without interest, in lieu of such fractional shares representing such Holder’s proportionate interest, in the proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent (the “Share Proceeds”) in one or more transactions of a number of shares of Parent Common Stock, such number equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock reserved with the Exchange Agent by Parent pursuant to Section 2.2(a) minus (ii) the aggregate number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock that Holders of SXCP Public Units are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) and Section 2.1(c)(ii) (such excess, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be equal to the aggregate number of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that the registered Holders of SXCP Public Units converted pursuant to the Merger would have otherwise been entitled to receive, the “Excess Shares”). The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash Share Proceeds in lieu of issuing certificates or scrip for fractional shares was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, as agent for the holders of SXCP Public Units that would otherwise receive fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, shall sell the Excess Shares at then-prevailing price on the NYSE in the manner provided in this Section 2.1(e) and such sales shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the Share Proceeds of such sale or sales have been distributed to the Holders of such SXCP Public Units, the Exchange Agent shall hold such Share Proceeds in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such SXCP Public Units (the “Fractional Share Proceeds”). The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of the Fractional Share Proceeds to which each Holder of such SXCP Public Units shall be entitled, if any, by multiplying the amount of the aggregate Share Proceeds comprising the Fractional Share

Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional share interest to which such Holder of such SXCP Public Units would otherwise be entitled and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all holders of such SXCP Public Units would otherwise be entitled.

(f) Certain Adjustments. If between the Execution Date and the Effective Time, whether or not permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the number of outstanding SXCP Common Units or shares of Parent Common Stock shall be changed into a different number of units, shares or other securities (including any different class or series of securities) by reason of any dividend or distribution payable in partnership interests, voting securities, equity interests or Rights, subdivision, reclassification, split, split-up, combination, merger, consolidation, reorganization, exchange or other similar transaction, or any such transaction shall be authorized, declared or agreed upon with a record date at or prior to the Effective Time, then the Merger Consideration, and any other similarly dependent items shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect fully the effect of such transaction and to provide to SXCP, Merger Sub and SXCP Public Units the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event, and thereafter, all references in this Agreement to the Merger Consideration, and any other similarly dependent items shall be references to the Merger Consideration, and any other similarly dependent items, as so adjusted; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.1(f) shall be deemed to permit or authorize any party hereto to effect any such dividend or distribution payable in equity securities or Rights, subdivision, reclassification, split, split-up, combination, merger, consolidation, reorganization, exchange or other similar transaction, or the authorization, declaration or agreement to do such transaction that it is not otherwise authorized or permitted to be undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 2.2 Exchange of SXCP Public Units.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the mailing of the Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to SXCP to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration and any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and/or (d) and any Fractional Share Proceeds. At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall (i) deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of SXCP Public Units, an amount of cash sufficient to pay the Fractional Share Proceeds (the “Exchange Fund”), (ii) reserve with the Exchange Agent the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) and (ii) authorize the Exchange Agent to exchange shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.2. Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent any additional cash or other consideration as applicable in excess of the Exchange Fund as and when necessary to pay any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and/or (d) and other amounts required to be paid under this Agreement. Parent shall pay all costs and fees of the Exchange Agent and all expenses associated with the exchange process. Any shares of Parent Common Stock, or fraction thereof, any remaining Fractional Share Proceeds, any remaining amounts of the Exchange Fund and any other remaining amount of funds deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be returned to Parent after the earlier to occur of (x) payment in full of all amounts due to the Holders of SXCP Public Units and (y) twelve months after the Closing Date, and any Holders of the SXCP Certificates or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.2 shall thereafter look only to Parent and only as general creditors thereof for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, any Fractional Share Proceeds and any dividends or other distributions to which such Holders may be entitled.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to, mail to each Holder, as of the Effective Time, of SXCP Public Units whose SXCP Public Units were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration a form of letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the SXCP Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the SXCP Certificates (or lost certificate affidavit as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b)) to the Exchange Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry SXCP Common Units, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the Letter of Transmittal, and which shall be in such customary form and have such other provisions as Parent and SXCP may reasonably agree prior to the Effective Time) and instructions for effecting the Surrender of such SXCP Certificates (or lost certificate affidavit as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b)) or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units in exchange for, as applicable, whole shares of Parent Common Stock, any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and/or (d) and any Fractional Share Proceeds. Subject to Section 2.2(c), upon Surrender to the Exchange Agent of such SXCP Certificates (or lost certificate affidavit as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b)) or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units, together with such properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the Holder of an SXCP Certificate (or lost certificate affidavit as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b)) or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested) to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i), (ii) the Fractional Share Proceeds, if any, payable in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock otherwise issuable, and (iii) any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and/or (d) to which such Holder is entitled. The instructions for effecting the Surrender of SXCP Certificates shall set forth procedures that must be taken by the Holder of any SXCP Certificate that has been lost, destroyed or stolen; it shall be a condition to the right of such Holder to receive the Merger Consideration, the Fractional Share Proceeds, if any, and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and/or (d) that the Exchange Agent shall have received, along with the Letter of Transmittal, a duly executed lost certificate affidavit, including an agreement to indemnify Parent, signed exactly as the name or names of the registered Holder or Holders of SXCP Public Units appeared on the books of SXCP immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with a customary bond and such other documents, in each case, as Parent may reasonably require in connection therewith. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further transfer on the records of SXCP or its transfer agent of SXCP Certificates or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict the transfer of any SXCP Partnership Interests other than the SXCP Public Units after the Effective Time); and if such SXCP Certificates or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units are presented to SXCP or its transfer agent for transfer, they shall be canceled against delivery of the appropriate Merger Consideration, any Fractional Share Proceeds and any dividends and distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and/or (d) as hereinabove provided. Until Surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each SXCP Certificate or Book-Entry SXCP Common Unit shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such Surrender the appropriate Merger Consideration, together with any dividends and distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and/or (d), the

appropriate Fractional Share Proceeds as contemplated by this Section 2.2. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any Fractional Share Proceeds or any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and/or (d).

(c) Dividends and Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged SXCP Public Units. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock issued in the Merger with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the Holder of any SXCP Certificate or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units not Surrendered with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in respect thereof until the Surrender of such SXCP Certificate or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units in accordance with this Section 2.2. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, Parent shall pay, or cause the Exchange Agent to pay, to the Holder of each SXCP Certificate or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units, without interest, (i) at the time of Surrender of such SXCP Certificate or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units, the amount of dividends or other distributions previously paid with respect to the whole shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to such SXCP Certificate or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units that have a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the time of Surrender and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends and distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time and prior to such Surrender and a payment date subsequent to such Surrender.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in SXCP Public Units. All Merger Consideration issued upon the Surrender of SXCP Certificates or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units in accordance with the terms of this Article II (as well as the Fractional Share Proceeds) shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the SXCP Public Units heretofore represented by such SXCP Certificates or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units (including all rights to common units arrearages), subject, however, to Parent’s obligation, with respect to SXCP Public Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, to pay any distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared by SXCP on such SXCP Common Units in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the Effective Time and that remain unpaid at the Closing Date.

(e) No Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, none of Parent, Merger Sub, SXCP, SXCP General Partner or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration, other distribution or Fractional Share Proceeds properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any SXCP Certificates or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units shall not have been Surrendered immediately prior to such date on which any Merger Consideration, any Fractional Share Proceeds or any distributions with respect to SXCP Common Units or shares of Parent Common Stock in respect of such SXCP Certificate or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such units, cash, or distributions in respect of such SXCP Certificates or Book-Entry SXCP Common Units shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Withholding Rights. Parent, Merger Sub and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, without duplication, such amounts, which may include shares of Parent Common

Stock, as Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent reasonably deems to be required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Entity by Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

(g) No Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 4.1 Organization and Existence.

(a) Organization and Existence of Parent Parties. Each of the Parent Parties is a corporation or limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted.

(b) Organization and Existence of Parent Subsidiaries. Each of the Parent Subsidiaries (other than Merger Sub) is an entity duly organized or formed, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize such concept) under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization or formation and has all requisite power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted.

(c) Qualification of Parent Group Entities. Each of the Parent Group Entities is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing in the states in which the character of the properties and assets owned or held by it or the nature of the business conducted by it requires it to be so licensed or qualified, except where the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Parent Parties Governing Documents. Parent has made available to SXCP true and complete copies of the Governing Documents of each Parent Party in effect as of the Execution Date. All such Governing Documents are in full force and effect, and no Parent Party is in violation of any provisions thereof.

(e) Ownership and Purpose of Merger Sub. All of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Merger Sub are owned beneficially by Parent. Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Merger Sub has not incurred, directly or indirectly, any obligations or conducted any business other than incident to its formation and pursuant to this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 4.2 Authority and Approval. Each of the Parent Parties has all requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to perform all of the terms and conditions hereof to be performed by it, subject to obtaining the Parent Stock Issuance Approval. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of the Parent Parties, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of all of the terms and conditions hereof to be performed by the Parent Parties have been duly authorized and approved by all requisite corporate or limited liability company action on the part of each of the Parent Parties, subject to obtaining the Parent Stock Issuance Approval. At a meeting duly called and held, the Parent Board (a) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger and the Parent Stock Issuance, are in the best interests of Parent and its stockholders, (b) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger and the Parent Stock Issuance, and (c) resolved to submit the Parent Stock Issuance to a vote of Parent’s stockholders and recommend approval of the Parent Stock Issuance. The affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast at the Parent Stockholder Meeting at which a quorum is present or any adjournment or postponement thereof to approve the Parent Stock Issuance (the “Parent Stock Issuance Approval”) is the only vote or approval of the holders of any class or series of the capital stock of Parent necessary to approve the Parent Stock Issuance and approve and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Parent Parties and constitutes the valid and legally

binding obligation of each of the Parent Parties, enforceable against each of the Parent Parties in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general principles of equity (whether applied in a Proceeding at law or in equity). SC&C is the record holder and beneficial owner in the aggregate of, and has the right to vote, a majority of the SXCP Common Units outstanding on the date hereof.

(iii) issue, deliver or sell any equity securities, or Rights to acquire equity securities, of Parent, except for an issuance, delivery or sale (x) for cash in an amount not exceeding $40,000,000 in the aggregate (based on the market price of the securities at the time of issuance), (y) in connection with an acquisition in an amount not exceeding $10,000,000 in the aggregate (based on the market price of the securities at the time of issuance) or (z) in connection with at-the-market offerings by Parent pursuant to an equity distribution program; provided, however, that this clause (iii) shall not restrict or limit the ability of Parent to make equity grants to its employees, officers and directors pursuant to its employee benefit plans or as permitted by clause (iv); provided further, however, that nothing in this clause (iii) shall be deemed to restrict the vesting and/or payment, or the acceleration of the vesting and/or payment, of any awards consisting of

(c) No Prohibited Action. From the Execution Date until the Closing Date, neither SXCP nor Parent shall, nor shall it cause any of its Subsidiaries to, take any action prohibited by this Agreement or fail to take any action required by this Agreement that, in either case, would be reasonably likely to materially delay the consummation of the Merger or result in the failure of a condition to closing pursuant to Article VI.

(d) Prompt Notification. From the Execution Date until the Closing Date, each of Parent and SXCP shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, promptly notify the other party in writing of (i) any event, condition or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VI not being satisfied at the Effective Time, and (ii) any material breach by the notifying party of any covenant, obligation, or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.1(d) shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the notified party.

SECTION 5.2 Access to Information. Subject to applicable Laws, upon reasonable notice, Parent shall afford the representatives and advisors of the SXCP Conflicts Committee reasonable access, during normal business hours from the Execution Date until the Closing Date, to its properties, books, contracts and records as well as to its management personnel; provided that such access shall be provided on a basis that minimizes the disruption to the operations of the Parent.

SECTION 5.3 Certain Filings; Parent Stockholder Meeting; Distributions.

(a) Preparation of Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement. As promptly as practicable following the Execution Date (i) each of the SXCP Parties and the Parent

Parties agrees to cooperate in the preparation of the Registration Statement (including the joint Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement constituting a part thereof (the “Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement”)), (ii) Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE (subject, if applicable, to notice of issuance) prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) the parties hereto shall make all required filings under applicable state securities and “blue sky” Laws; provided, however, that no such filings shall be required in any jurisdiction where, as a result thereof, Parent would become subject to general service of process or to taxation or qualification to do business as a foreign corporation doing business in such jurisdiction solely as a result of such filing. Parent agrees to file the Registration Statement with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable. Each of Parent and SXCP agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after filing thereof and keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Holders of Parent Common Stock as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and SXCP shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Holders of SXCP Common Units as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and SXCP agrees to furnish to the other party all information concerning the Parent Group Entities or the SXCP Group Entities, as applicable, and to take such other action as may be reasonably requested in connection with the foregoing. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement will be made by Parent or SXCP, in each case without providing the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon.

(b) Information Supplied. Each of the Parent Parties and the SXCP Parties agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that (i) none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date the Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement is mailed to the Holders of SXCP Common Units or Parent Common Stock, contain 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 under which they were made, not misleading. Each of the Parent Parties and the SXCP Parties further agrees that, if it shall become aware prior to the Closing Date of any information that would cause any of the statements in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not false or misleading, it will promptly inform the other party thereof and take the necessary steps to correct such information in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement.

(c) SEC Correspondence. Each of SXCP and Parent shall (i) promptly notify the other of receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any other applicable government official and of any requests by the SEC or its staff or any other applicable government official for amendments or supplements to any of the filings with the SEC in connection with the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby or for additional information and (ii) promptly supply the other with copies of all correspondence between SXCP or any of its representatives, or Parent or any of its representatives, as the case may be, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff or any other applicable government official, on the other hand, with respect thereto. Parent and SXCP shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement as promptly as practicable.

(d) Parent Stockholder Meeting. Parent shall, as soon as practicable following the effective date of the Registration Statement, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Parent Stockholder Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Stock Issuance Approval. Subject to Section 5.3(e) and Section 7.4(a), Parent shall, through the Parent Board, recommend to its stockholders approval of the Parent Stock Issuance (the “Parent Board Recommendation”) and shall not (i) withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to SXCP, such recommendation or (ii) fail to include such Parent Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement (any such action being referred to herein as a “Parent Adverse Recommendation Change”). Subject to Section 5.3(e) and Section 7.4(a), Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain from its stockholders the Parent Stock Issuance Approval. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII, the obligations of the Parent set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.3(d) shall not be affected by a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent may postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholder Meeting (i) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Stock Issuance Approval, (ii) in the absence of quorum, (iii) if Parent has delivered any notice contemplated by Section 5.3(e), and the time periods contemplated by Section 5.3(e), have not expired, or (iv) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and/or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that Parent has determined after consultation with outside legal counsel is necessary under applicable Laws and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the stockholders of Parent prior to the Parent Stockholder Meeting; provided, however, that in each case Parent shall not be permitted to postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholder Meeting for more than ten (10) Business Days later than the most recently adjourned meeting or to a date after the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Termination Date. No matter shall be submitted for action at the Parent Stockholder Meeting other than the approval of the Parent Stock Issuance and matters reasonably related to the Parent Stock Issuance without the written consent of the SXCP Conflicts Committee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(e) Parent Adverse Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Parent Stock Issuance

Approval, and subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.3(e), the Parent Board may, if the Parent Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Parent’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to stockholders under applicable Law, make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, however, that no such Parent Adverse Recommendation Change shall be made in response to a Parent Acquisition Proposal that does not constitute a Parent Designated Proposal; provided further, however, that the Parent Board may not effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to the foregoing unless:

(i) Parent has provided prior written notice to the SXCP Conflicts Committee specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such action (including, in the case of a Parent Designated Proposal, a description of the material terms of such Parent Designated Proposal and complete copies of any written proposals, offers and/or draft definitive agreements in connection therewith) at least three (3) days in advance of its intention to take such action with respect to a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, unless at the time such notice is required to be given there are less than three (3) days prior to the Parent Stockholder Meeting, in which case Parent shall provide as much notice as is reasonably practicable (the period inclusive of all such days, the “Parent Notice Period”); and

(ii) during the Parent Notice Period the Parent Board has negotiated, and has used reasonable best efforts to cause its financial advisor and outside legal counsel to negotiate, with the SXCP Conflicts Committee in good faith (to the extent the SXCP Conflicts Committee desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the failure to effect such Parent Adverse Recommendation Change would not be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to stockholders under applicable Law; provided that any material amendment to the terms of a Parent Designated Proposal, if applicable, shall require a new notice pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) and a new Parent Notice Period, except that such new Parent Notice Period in connection with any material amendment shall be for one (1) Business Day from the time SXCP receives such notice (as opposed to three (3) days).

(f) Unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article VII, Parent shall submit the Parent Stock Issuance for approval at the Parent Stockholder Meeting even if the Parent Board shall have effected a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change.

SECTION 5.4 Commercially Reasonable Efforts; Further Assurances. From and after the Execution Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable and (ii) defend any lawsuits or other Proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or seek to have lifted or rescinded any injunction or restraining order or other order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger. Without limiting the foregoing but subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that, from time to time, whether before, at

or after the Closing Date, each of them will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such instruments of assignment, transfer, conveyance, endorsement, direction or authorization as may be necessary to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement except for Section 5.3(e) will preclude any action (including the solicitation thereof) in connection with a Parent Acquisition Proposal or a Parent Designated Proposal, any action or failure to take any action, as expressly permitted by this Agreement, require any party hereto to hold separate or make any divestiture not expressly contemplated herein of any asset or require any party hereto to otherwise agree to any restriction on its operations or other condition in order to obtain any consent or approval or other clearance required by this Agreement.

SECTION 5.5 No Public Announcement. On the Execution Date, Parent and SXCP shall issue a joint press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement and the Merger, which press release shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent and SXCP. From and after the Execution Date, neither SXCP nor Parent shall issue any other press release or make any other public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) (other than public announcements at industry road shows and conferences or as may be required by applicable Laws or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with the NYSE, in which event the party making the public announcement or press release shall, to the extent practicable, notify Parent and SXCP in advance of such public announcement or press release) without the prior approval of Parent and SXCP, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

SECTION 5.6 Expenses. Except as provided in Section 7.6, whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, including legal fees, accounting fees, financial advisory fees and other professional and non-professional fees and expenses, shall be paid by the party hereto incurring such expenses, except that Parent and SXCP shall each pay for one-half of (a) any filing fees with respect to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement and (b) the costs of printing and mailing of the Prospectus/Consent Statement/Proxy Statement.

SECTION 5.7 Regulatory Issues. SXCP and Parent shall cooperate fully with respect to any filing, submission or communication with a Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Merger. Such cooperation shall include each of the parties hereto: (i) providing, in the case of oral communications with a Governmental Entity, advance notice of any such communication and, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, an opportunity for the other party to participate; (ii) providing, in the case of written communications, an opportunity for the other party to comment on any such communication and provide the other with a final copy of all such communications; and (iii) complying promptly with any request for information from a Governmental Entity (including an additional request for information and documentary material), with the consent of the other party hereto, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All cooperation shall be conducted in such a manner so as to preserve all applicable privileges.

SECTION 5.8 Tax Matters. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (and for purposes of any applicable state, local or foreign Tax that follows the U.S. federal income tax treatment),

the parties agree to treat the Merger (a) with respect to Holders of SXCP Public Units, as a taxable sale of such SXCP Common Units to a corporate subsidiary of Parent and (b) with respect to such corporate subsidiary, as a purchase of SXCP Public Units from the Holders of such SXCP Common Units. The Merger Consideration payable to the Holders of SXCP Public Units shall be deemed to be (i) transferred from Parent to such corporate subsidiary in a tax-free transaction pursuant to Section 351 of the Code, and (ii) immediately thereafter transferred from such corporate subsidiary to the Holders of SXCP Public Units in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties further agree that, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1032-3, the deemed transfer of the Merger Consideration from such corporate subsidiary to the Holders of SXCP Public Units does not trigger the recognition of gain by such corporate subsidiary. for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the basis of Parent in stock of such corporate subsidiary shall be increased by the value of the Merger Consideration. The parties will prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the foregoing and will not take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return, or during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, except as otherwise required by applicable Laws following a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction or other administrative settlement with or final administrative decision by the relevant Governmental Entity.

SECTION 5.9 D&O Insurance.

(a) Obligation to Honor D&O Insurance. For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, Parent and the Surviving Entity jointly and severally agree to, and to cause the SXCP Group Entities to, (i) indemnify and hold harmless against any reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs, expenses and obligations (including experts’ fees, travel expenses, court costs, retainers, transcript fees, duplicating, printing and binding costs, as well as telecommunications, postage and courier charges) paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in, any Proceeding arising from acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), including any Proceeding relating to a claim for indemnification or advancement brought by a SXCP D&O Indemnified Party), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any thereof) in connection with any actual or threatened Proceeding arising from acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and, upon receipt by Parent of an undertaking by or on behalf of the SXCP D&O Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it shall be determined in a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction that the SXCP D&O Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified, provide advancement of expenses with respect to each of the foregoing to all SXCP D&O Indemnified Parties and (ii) honor all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, elimination of liability and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) now existing in favor of the SXCP D&O Indemnified Parties as provided in the Governing Documents of any SXCP Group Entity, under applicable Delaware Law or otherwise, and shall ensure that the Governing Documents of SXCP and SXCP General Partner (or their successor entities) shall, for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, contain provisions substantially no less

advantageous with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses, elimination of liability and exculpation of their present and former directors, officers, employees and agents than are set forth in the Governing Documents of SXCP and SXCP General Partner as of the Execution Date. Any right of an SXCP D&O Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 5.9(a) shall not be amended, repealed, terminated or otherwise modified at any time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of such SXCP D&O Indemnified Party as provided herein, and shall be enforceable by such SXCP D&O Indemnified Party and their respective heirs and representatives against Parent and SXCP General Partner and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Maintenance of D&O Insurance. For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance with a nationally reputable carrier covering each SXCP D&O Indemnified Party who is or at any time prior to the Effective Time was covered by the existing officers’ and directors’ liability insurance applicable to the SXCP Group Entities (“D&O Insurance”), on terms substantially no less advantageous to the SXCP D&O Indemnified Parties, as applicable, than such existing insurance with respect to acts or omissions, or alleged acts or omissions, prior to the Effective Time (whether claims, actions or other Proceedings relating thereto are commenced, asserted or claimed before or after the Effective Time); provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance for the SXCP D&O Indemnified Parties in excess of 300% of the current annual premium currently paid by the SXCP Group Entities for such insurance, but shall purchase as much of such coverage as possible for such applicable amount. Parent shall have the right to cause such coverage to be extended under the applicable D&O Insurance by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the SXCP D&O Indemnified Parties than the existing D&O Insurance, and such “tail” policy shall satisfy the provisions of this Section 5.9.

(c) Survival of Section 5.9. The provisions of this Section 5.9 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement for a period of six (6) years and expressly are intended to benefit each of the SXCP D&O Indemnified Parties; provided, however, that in the event that any claim or claims for indemnification or advancement set forth in this Section 5.9 are asserted or made within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification and advancement in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until disposition of all such claims. The rights of any SXCP D&O Indemnified Party under this Section 5.9 shall be in addition to any other rights such SXCP D&O Indemnified Party may have under the Governing Documents of any SXCP Group Entity or applicable Laws.

(d) Assumption of Obligations. In the event Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in either such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that its successors and assigns, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

SECTION 5.10 Distributions. Until the Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Parent will use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause SXCP to declare and pay regular quarterly cash distributions to Unitholders at the quarterly per unit distribution rate of $0.40, with the declaration date and record date for each quarterly distribution to occur no later than thirty-five (35) days and forty-seven (47) days, respectively, after the end of each fiscal quarter.

SECTION 5.11 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the SXCP Board and the Parent Board shall take all such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispositions of SXCP Common Units (including derivative securities with respect to such SXCP Common Units) or acquisitions of shares of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to SXCP, or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Parent, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 5.12 Conflicts Committee. Prior to the Effective Time or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, none of the SXCP Group Entities shall, without the consent of the SXCP Conflicts Committee, eliminate the SXCP Conflicts Committee, or revoke or diminish the authority of the SXCP Conflicts Committee, or remove or cause the removal of any director of the SXCP Board that is a member of the SXCP Conflicts Committee either as a member of such board or such committee without the affirmative vote of the members of the SXCP Board, including the affirmative vote of each of the other members of the SXCP Conflicts Committee. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.12 shall not apply to the filling in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Governing Documents of any vacancies caused by the death, incapacity or resignation of any director.

The Parent Stockholder Meeting shall have concluded and the Parent Stock Issuance Approval shall not have been obtained, it being understood by SXCP that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.2(c) shall be available to Parent even where the failure to obtain the Parent Stock Issuance Approval is proximately caused by a withdrawal, modification or qualification of the Parent Board Recommendation, whether or not permitted by this Agreement.

SECTION 7.3 Termination by SXCP. This Agreement may be terminated by SXCP at any time prior to the Effective Time:

(a) Parent Adverse Recommendation Change. If a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred; or

(b) Parent Breach. If any Parent Party shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement (or if any of the representations or warranties of the Parent Parties set forth in this Agreement shall fail to be true), or if SC&C shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in the Support Agreement, in each case which breach or failure (a) would (if it occurred or was continuing as of the Closing Date) give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) (with or without the passage of time) and (b) is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by the Parent Parties or SC&C, as applicable, prior to the Termination Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) shall not be available to SXCP if, at such time, the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) cannot be satisfied (with or without the passage of time or if the cause of such failure is a result of any action or inaction by SXCP).

SECTION 7.4 Termination by Parent. This Agreement may be terminated by Parent at any time prior to the Effective Time:

(a) Parent Adverse Recommendation Change. If a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred; or

(b) SXCP Breach. This Agreement may be terminated by Parent at any time prior to the Effective Time if the SXCP Parties shall have breached or failed to perform any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement (or if any of the representations or warranties of the SXCP Parties set forth in this Agreement shall fail to be true), which breach or failure (i) would (if it occurred or was continuing as of the Closing Date) give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) (with or without the passage of time) and (ii) is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by the SXCP Parties prior to the Termination Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall not be available to Parent if, at such time, the condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) cannot be satisfied (with or without the passage of time or if the cause of such failure is a result of any action or inaction by Parent).

SECTION 7.5 Effect of Certain Terminations. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provision of this Agreement pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement, except for the provisions of Section 5.5, Section 5.6, Article VII and Article VIII, shall forthwith become null and void and there shall be no liability on the part of any party to this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement shall terminate, except for the provisions of Section 5.5, Section 5.6, Article VII and Article VIII which shall survive such termination; except that (i) Parent may be required to bear its obligations, if any, for direct and indirect expenses and costs and the Termination Fee, as provided in Section 7.6, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for (A) any failure to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby when required pursuant to this Agreement or (B) any fraudulent action by such party in connection with any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement and all rights and remedies of any other party under this Agreement shall be preserved.

SECTION 7.6 Expense Reimbursement and Termination Fee.

(a) SXCP Expenses and Termination Fee. In the event this Agreement is terminated (i) by SXCP pursuant to Section 7.3(b) (Parent breach), (ii) by SXCP or Parent pursuant to Section 7.2(c) (Parent Stock Issuance Approval), (iii) by SXCP pursuant to Section 7.3(a) (Parent Adverse Recommendation Change), or (iv) by Parent pursuant to Section 7.4(a) (Parent Adverse Recommendation Change), then Parent shall pay to SXCP, within two (2) Business Days after the termination date, (x) all the direct and indirect expenses and costs incurred by or on behalf of SXCP in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (y) the Termination Fee (except that no Termination Fee shall be payable in the case of clause (ii) above if there was no Parent Adverse Recommendation Change).

(b) Acknowledgment. The parties acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 7.6 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, none of the parties would enter into this Agreement. Following a valid termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have an obligation to the other except as provided in this Section 7.6 or otherwise expressly provided herein.

SECTION 7.7 Survival. None of the representations, warranties, agreements, covenants or obligations in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the Merger, except for those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Effective Time.

SECTION 8.2 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws, the provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties hereto agrees that this Agreement involves at least $100,000 and that this Agreement has been entered into in express reliance upon 6 Del. C. § 2708. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally confirms and agrees that it is and shall continue to be (a) subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and of the federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, and (b) subject to service of process in the State of Delaware. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) consents and submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, solely if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over any matter, any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware) (the “Delaware Courts”) for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), (ii) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the Delaware Courts and agrees not to plead or claim in any Delaware Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum, (iii) acknowledges and agrees that any controversy that may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv) agrees to service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if such process is given as a notice in accordance with Section 8.1 or in any manner prescribed by the Laws of the State of Delaware. Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

SECTION 8.3 Entire Agreement; Amendments, Consents and Waivers. This Agreement and the Support Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto constitute the entire agreement between and among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties, and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements between or among the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof except as set forth specifically herein or contemplated hereby. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (including the representations and warranties set forth in Article III and IV), (a) the parties acknowledge and agree that neither the SXCP Group Entities nor any other Person has made, and the Parent Group Entities are not relying upon, any covenant, representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the SXCP Group Entities or as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding any SXCP Group Entity furnished or made available to any Parent Group Entity, (b) the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, except as set forth in this Agreement, neither the Parent Group Entities nor any other Person has made, and the SXCP Group Entities are not relying upon, any covenant, representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the Parent Group Entities or as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding any Parent Group Entity furnished or made available to any SXCP Group Entity, and (c) the SXCP Parties and the Parent Parties shall not have or be subject to any liability to any Parent Group Entity or any other Person or any SXCP Group Entity or any other Person, as applicable, or any other remedy in connection herewith, based upon the distribution to any Parent Group Entity or any SXCP Group Entity of, or any Parent Group Entity’s or any SXCP Group Entity’s use of or reliance on, any such information or any information, documents or material made available to the Parent Group Parties or SXCP Group Parties, as applicable, in any “data rooms,” “virtual data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to compliance with applicable Laws, prior to the Closing, any provision of this Agreement may be (a) consented to or waived in writing by the party benefited by the provision or (b) amended or modified at any time by an agreement in writing by the parties hereto; provided, however, that, in addition to any other approvals required by the SXCP Parties’ constituent documents or under this Agreement, the foregoing consents, waivers, amendments or modifications in clauses (a) and (b), and any decision or determination by SXCP to (x) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 or (y) enforce this Agreement, must be approved by the SXCP Conflicts Committee. No amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. The failure of a party to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed or constitute a waiver of such right or remedy in the future. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (regardless of whether similar), nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

SECTION 8.4 SXCP Board Consent. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, whenever a determination, decision, approval or consent of SXCP or SXCP General Partner is required pursuant to this Agreement, such determination, decision, approval or consent must be authorized by the SXCP Board; provided, however, that the SXCP Board may not take or authorize any such action unless it has been approved in writing by the SXCP Conflicts Committee.

SECTION 8.5 Performance by SXCP General Partner. Parent shall cause SXCP General Partner to cause SXCP and its Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that actions or inactions by SXCP, SXCP General Partner and their respective Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be breaches or violations or failures to perform by SXCP, SXCP General Partner and their respective Subsidiaries of any of the provisions of this Agreement if such action or inaction was or was not taken, as applicable, at the direction of Parent or its representatives.

SECTION 8.6 Binding Effect; No Third-Party Beneficiaries; and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights, benefits or obligations hereunder including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, except (i) as provided in Section 5.9 and (ii) for the right of the Holders of SXCP Public Units to receive the Merger Consideration (as well as any Fractional Share Proceeds) after the Closing (a claim by the Holders of SXCP Public Units with respect to which may not be made unless and until the Closing shall have occurred). No party hereto may assign, transfer, dispose of or otherwise alienate this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise). Any attempted assignment, transfer, disposition or alienation in violation of this Agreement shall be null, void and ineffective.

SECTION 8.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of applicable Laws, or public policy, all other conditions or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not affected in any matter materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to affect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 8.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one instrument. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.
