ARTICLE I
ALLOCATION OF RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER
THE HEDGING ARRANGEMENTS
Section 1.1 Assumption of Obligations and Assignment Rights under Hedging Arrangements. The Parties agree that, from and after the date of this Agreement, the General Partner assumes all of PL Propylene’s obligations arising under the Hedging Arrangements and shall be allocated all rights thereunder.
Section 1.2 Hedging Gains. All payments received by PL Propylene under the Hedging Arrangements during any fiscal quarter shall be distributed (a “Special Distribution”) by the Partnership to the General Partner as soon as practicable following the date that the Partnership pays the quarterly distribution in respect of such fiscal quarter (the “Quarterly Distribution Date”) to the holders of its Common Units. As soon as reasonably practicable following its receipt of a Special Distribution, the General Partner shall distribute such Special Distribution to Propylene Holdings, which shall distribute such amount to PL Manufacturing, which shall distribute such amount to each PL Manufacturing Member on a pro rata basis according to its respective percentage ownership of Pledged Common Units as of the date hereof.
Section 1.3 Hedging Losses. Promptly following the Quarterly Distribution Date in respect of any fiscal quarter in which PL Propylene is required to make net payments to the Hedge Counterparty (the amount of such payments, the “Quarterly Hedge Payment Obligation”), PL Manufacturing shall pay to the General Partner an amount equal to the Quarterly Hedge Payment Obligation in the manner set forth in Sections 1.5 and 1.6 of this Agreement, and the General Partner shall make a capital contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to the Quarterly Hedge Payment Obligation (a “GP Capital Contribution”).
Section 1.4 Pledge of Common Units. In connection with this Agreement, each of the PL Manufacturing Members agree to enter into a Pledge Agreement pursuant to which they will deliver, pledge and assign, and transfer to PL Manufacturing, as “Collateral Agent,” on behalf of and for the benefit of the General Partner, all the Common Units listed on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Pledged Common Units”), together with all Common Unit certificates, options or rights of any nature whatsoever which may be issued or granted by the Partnership to any of the PL Manufacturing Members in respect of the Pledged Common Units while this Omnibus Agreement is in effect, and all “proceeds” as such term is defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the UCC and, including, without limitation, all distributions in respect of the Pledged Common Units.
Section 1.5 Payment of Pledged Unit Proceeds to General Partner. PL Manufacturing, as Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to receive all distributions made by the Partnership in respect of the Pledged Common Units. PL Manufacturing shall use such distributions to (1) first, contribute to the General Partner an amount equal to any Quarterly Hedge Payment Obligation for the quarter in respect of which the quarterly distribution was paid, (2) second, establish and maintain a cash reserve in such amount, if any, of the expected shortfall between the projected future quarterly distributions on the then Pledged Common Units at such
time and the projected future Quarterly Hedge Payment Obligations at such time (the “Cash Reserve”) and (3) third, distribute any excess cash to the PL Manufacturing Members.
Section 1.6 Cash Contribution Option. If the Quarterly Hedge Payment Obligation for any quarter exceeds the sum of (1) the total quarterly distribution that is paid on the Pledged Common Units in respect of such quarter and (2) the Cash Reserve, each of the PL Manufacturing Members shall have the right to fund its pro rata share of the shortfall by making a cash payment to PL Manufacturing, which PL Manufacturing shall pay to the General Partner to fund a portion of the GP Capital Contribution. If any PL Manufacturing Member fails to so fund its pro rata portion of any such shortfall, PL Manufacturing shall liquidate a number of such PL Manufacturing Member’s Pledged Common Units sufficient to cover such PL Manufacturing Member’s share of the shortfall and pay the proceeds of such liquidation to the General Partner and any excess proceeds to such PL Manufacturing Member.
Section 1.7 Limitation on Liability of each PL Manufacturing Member. The liability of each PL Manufacturing Member shall be limited to the sum of (1) the quarterly distributions that are paid by the Partnership on such PL Manufacturing Member’s Pledged Common Units and not distributed to such PL Manufacturing Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (2) the proceeds from the liquidation of such PL Manufacturing Member’s Pledged Common Units as contemplated in Section 1.6 of this Agreement. The PL Manufacturing Members shall not be required to contribute cash or additional Common Units to fund any shortfall other than as specifically contemplated hereby.
Section 1.8 Limitation on Liability of PL Manufacturing and the General Partner. The liability of PL Manufacturing and the General Partner shall be limited to any cash that each entity has on hand at the time that such liability arises.
Section 1.9 Minimum Number of Pledged Common Units. From time to time, PL Manufacturing may release Pledged Common Units, provided, however, that the market value of all Pledged Common Units must at all times be equal to or greater than ten (10) times the xxxx-to-market value of the Hedging Arrangements. If, after PL Manufacturing has released Pledged Common Units pursuant to this Section 1.8, the xxxx-to-market value of the Hedging Arrangements exceeds 1/10th of the value of all then Pledged Common Units, PL Manufacturing shall require the PL Manufacturing Members to recontribute and pledge a number of Common Units such that the market value of all Pledged Common Units is equal to or greater than ten (10) times the xxxx-to-market value of the Hedging Arrangements, provided, however, that no PL Manufacturing Member shall be required to pledge a number of Common Units that exceeds its pro rata share of the Initial Pledge.
