Until the indemnifying party so assumes control of the defense of any such claims, the indemnified party or indemnified parties may control all aspects of the defense of any such claims.

(c) If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any claim in respect of which an indemnified party intends to or has asserted a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, then such 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 IX, 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 information furnished by the indemnified party pursuant to this Section. 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 if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of any claim, 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.

27

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 for Damages pursuant to Section 8.1(a) only if (i) the Damages with respect to any individual claim pursuant to Section 8.1(a) exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and (ii) the Damages for all claims pursuant to Section 8.1(a) (excluding any claim excluded pursuant to the preceding clause (i) of this Section 8.6(a)) exceed, in the aggregate, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Deductible Amount”), and then SPLC shall be liable only for Damages pursuant to Section 8.1(a) to the extent of any excess over the Deductible Amount. In no event shall SPLC’s aggregate liability to SHLX Indemnified Parties under (i) Section 8.1(a) exceed Eighty Million ($80,000,000) (the “Ceiling Amount”) or Section 8.1(b) exceed the Consideration 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 (Organization), Section 3.2 (Authority and Approval), Section 3.4 (Capitalization; Title to Subject Interests), and Section 3.11 (Brokerage Arrangements), 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 described in this sentence and for breaches of covenants, shall not exceed the Consideration, absent fraud; provided, further, however, that the payment and indemnification obligations of SPLC pursuant to Article VI shall not be subject to any limitation in this Section 8.6(a) and shall be excluded from the determination of whether the maximum indemnification amount specified in the immediately preceding proviso has been reached or exceeded.

(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; 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 or 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.
