Item 1.01                                            Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Contribution Agreement

 

On September19, 2017, Phillips 66 Partners LP (the “Partnership”) entered into a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Phillips 66 Partners GP LLC (the “General Partner”), Phillips 66 Company (“P66 Company”), and Phillips 66 Project Development Inc. (“P66 PDI”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66 (“PSX”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Partnership will acquire from P66 PDI, through a series of intercompany contributions, an indirect 25 percent interest in each of Dakota Access, LLC and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (collectively, “Dakota/ETCO” and such interests, the “Dakota/ETCO Interests”) and a direct 100 percent interest in Merey Sweeny, L.P. (“MSLP” and such interest, the “MSLP Interest”) (the Dakota/ETCO Interest and the MSLP Interests, collectively, the “Acquired Interests” and the acquisitions pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, collectively, the “Acquisition”).

 

The assets owned by DAPL/ETCO and MSLP are described below:

 

·                   Dakota/ETCO owns the Bakken Pipeline, which includes1,926 combined pipeline miles and 520,000 barrels per day (“BPD”) of crude oil capacity expandable to 570,000 BPD. There are receipt stations in North Dakota to access Bakken and Three Forks production, a delivery and receipt point in Patoka, Illinois, and delivery points in Nederland, Texas, including at the Phillips 66 Beaumont Terminal.

 

·                   MSLP owns a 125,000 BPD capacity vacuum distillation unit and a 70,000 BPD capacity delayed coker unit.  MSLP processes residue from heavy sour crude oil into liquid products and fuel-grade petroleum coke at the Phillips 66 Sweeny Refinery in Old Ocean, Texas.

 

In connection with the Acquisition, MSLP and P66 Company will enter into a tolling services agreement with a 15-year term that will include a base throughput fee and a minimum volume commitment from P66 Company.

 

In exchange for the Acquired Interests, the Partnership will deliver total consideration of approximately $1.65 billion, consisting of cash, the assumption of certain liabilities under which P66 PDI will be the obligor or to which the Acquired Interests will be subject as of the closing of the Acquisition and the issuance of an aggregate of 5,005,778 newly issued units of the Partnership, to be allocated between common units representing limited partner interests (“Common Units”) to be issued to P66 PDI and general partner units to be issued to the General Partner in a proportion necessary for the General Partner to maintain its 2 percent general partner interest in the Partnership.

 

The transaction is expected to close in early October 2017, subject to standard closing conditions, including, among others: (i) the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Contribution Agreement; (ii) the performance by each party of its respective obligations under the Contribution Agreement; (iii) the absence of any legal proceeding or order by a governmental authority restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Acquisition; (iv) the absence of a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial

condition of the Acquired Interests; (v) the execution of certain agreements and delivery of certain documents related to the consummation of the Acquisition, including an amendment to the Partnership’s existing omnibus agreement with P66 Company; and (vi) the receipt by the Partnership of sufficient proceeds from financing arrangements necessary to fulfill its obligations required for the closing of the Acquisition and the determination by the Partnership that it expects to be able to repay or refinance any indebtedness assumed by or assigned to the Partnership in connection with the Acquisition.

 

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, and subject to certain limitations, the Partnership has agreed to indemnify P66 Company, P66 PDI and their respective affiliates (other than the Partnership and its subsidiaries), directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “P66 Company Parties”) for any and all damages resulting from any breach of a representation, warranty, agreement or covenant of the Partnership and for certain other matters. Similarly, P66 Company and P66 PDI have agreed, subject to certain limitations, to indemnify the Partnership, its subsidiaries and its and their respective affiliates (other than any of the P66 Company Parties), directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives for any and all damages resulting from any breach of a representation, warranty, agreement or covenant of P66 Company or P66 PDI and for certain other matters.

 

The above summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Contribution Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Each of the parties to the Contribution Agreement described above is a direct or indirect subsidiary of PSX. As a result, certain individuals, including officers of PSX and officers and directors of the General Partner, serve as officers and/or directors of one or more of such entities. P66 PDI currently (as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K) owns 64,047,024 Common Units of the Partnership representing a 56.8 percent limited partner interest in the Partnership based on the number of Common Units outstanding as of September 25, 2017. P66 PDI also owns an indirect 1.9 percent general partner interest in the Partnership and all of the Partnership’s incentive distribution rights through its ownership of the General Partner.

 

The terms of the Contribution Agreement were approved on behalf of the Partnership by the conflicts committee and the board of directors of the General Partner. The conflicts committee, which is comprised of independent members of the board of directors of the General Partner, retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist it in evaluating and negotiating the Acquisition. In approving the terms of the Acquisition, the conflicts committee based its decision in part on an opinion from the independent financial advisor that the consideration to be paid by the Partnership pursuant to the Contribution Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Common Units unaffiliated with P66 Company, P66 PDI, the General Partner and their respective affiliates (other than the Partnership).

 

Series A Preferred Unit and Common Unit Purchase Agreement

 

On September 21, 2017, the Partnership entered into a Series A Preferred Unit and Common Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain affiliates of

 

3



 

Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners, First Reserve XIII Advisors, L.L.C. and Tortoise Capital Advisors, LLC (collectively, the “Purchasers”) to issue and sell in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) an aggregate of 13,819,791 Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Preferred Units”) for a cash purchase price of $54.27 per Preferred Unit (the “Preferred Issue Price”) and an aggregate of 6,304,204 Common Units for a cash purchase price of $47.59 per Common Unit, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $1.05 billion.

 

The closing of the Private Placement (the “Closing”) is expected to occur in early October 2017, subject to the delivery of customary closing deliverables and certain closing conditions, including, among others: (i) the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) the performance by each party of its respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement; (iii) the absence of any legal proceeding or order by a governmental authority restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Private Placement; (iv) the absence of a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Partnership; (v) the closing of the Acquisition either prior to or concurrently with the Closing; and (vi) the execution of certain agreements and delivery of certain documents related to the Private Placement, including the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the “Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement to be entered into by the Partnership with the Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), each in substantially the form attached as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement.

 

Net proceeds to the Partnership upon the Closing, after deducting offering and transaction expenses, are expected to be approximately $1.03 billion. The Partnership intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement to fund a portion of the consideration payable by the Partnership in the Acquisition described above and for general partnership purposes, including funding of future acquisitions and organic projects and repayment of outstanding indebtedness.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Partnership and the Purchasers. The Partnership, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, have agreed to indemnify each other and their respective investors, officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees, agents, advisors, counsel, accountants, investment bankers and other representatives against certain losses resulting from breaches of their respective representations, warranties and covenants, subject to certain negotiated limitations and survival periods set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, in connection with the Closing, the General Partner will execute the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement to, among other things, authorize and establish the rights and preferences of the Preferred Units and make certain other changes of an administrative or immaterial nature. The Preferred Units are a new class of security that will rank senior to all existing classes or series of limited partner interests of the Partnership with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation. The Preferred Units will vote on an as-converted basis with the Common Units and will have certain other class voting rights with respect to any amendment to the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement or the Partnership’s certificate of limited

partnership that would be adverse (other than in a de minimis manner) to any of the rights, preferences or privileges of the Preferred Units.

 

The holders of the Preferred Units will receive cumulative quarterly distributions at a rate of 5% per annum until the third anniversary of the Closing, and thereafter the quarterly distributions on the Preferred Units will equal the greater of 5% per annum and the amount that the Preferred Units would have received if they had converted into Common Units at the then applicable conversion rate (as defined below). The Partnership will not be entitled to pay any distributions on any junior securities, including any of the Common Units and the incentive distribution rights, prior to paying the quarterly distribution payable to the Preferred Units, including any previously accrued and unpaid distributions.

 

Each holder of the Preferred Units may elect to convert all or any portion of the Preferred Units owned by it into Common Units initially on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and an adjustment for any distributions that have accrued but not been paid when due (which we refer to as the “conversion rate”), at any time (but not more often than once per quarter) after the second anniversary of the Closing (or earlier liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership), provided that any conversion is for at least $50 million (calculated based on the Preferred Issue Price) or such lesser amount if such conversion relates to all of a holder’s remaining Preferred Units.

 

The Partnership may elect to convert all or any portion of the Preferred Units into Common Units at any time (but not more often than once per quarter) after the third anniversary of the Closing if (i) the Common Units are listed or admitted for trading on a national securities exchange, (ii) the average volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Units is greater than 135% of the Preferred Issue Price for the preceding 20 trading days, (iii) the average daily trading volume of the Common Units exceeds 100,000 (as adjusted to reflect splits, combinations or similar events) for the preceding 20 trading days and (iv) the Partnership has an effective registration statement on file covering resales of the underlying Common Units to be received by the holders upon conversion of the Preferred Units, provided that the conversion is for at least $50 million (calculated based on the Preferred Issue Price) or such lesser amount if such conversion relates to all of the then outstanding Preferred Units.  The Preferred Units will be converted at the conversion rate if the VWAP of the Common Units for the 20 trading days preceding the notice of conversion (the “Conversion VWAP”) is equal or greater to 137.5% of the Preferred Issue Price, and at a ratio of one Common Unit for each 0.975 Preferred Unit if the Conversion VWAP is less than 137.5% of the Preferred Issue Price.  The Partnership also may elect, rather than converting the Preferred Units, to redeem the Preferred Units at a redemption price equal to the Conversion VWAP if the conditions described in clauses (i) through (iv) above have been met, provided that the redemption is for at least $50 million (calculated based on the Preferred Issue Price) or such lesser amount if such redemption relates to all of the then outstanding Preferred Units.

 

5



 

Upon certain events involving a Series A Change of Control (as defined in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement) in which more than 90% of the consideration payable to the holders of the Common Units is payable in cash, the Preferred Units will automatically convert into Common Units at a conversion ratio equal to the higher of (a) the then applicable conversion rate and (b) the quotient of (i) the sum of (A) the Preferred Issue Price (plus any accrued and unpaid distributions on the Preferred Units) multiplied by a premium factor (ranging from 115% to 101% depending on when such transaction occurs) plus (B) a pro rata portion of the distribution for the quarter in which the conversion occurs relating to the portion of such quarter that has elapsed as of the date of such conversion, divided by (ii) the VWAP of the Common Units for the 30 trading days prior to the execution of definitive documentation relating to such change of control.

 

In connection with other Series A Change of Control events that do not satisfy the 90% cash consideration threshold described above, each holder of the Preferred Units may elect to (a) convert its Preferred Units to Common Units at the then applicable conversion rate, (b) if the Partnership is not the surviving entity (or if the Partnership is the surviving entity, but the Common Units will cease to be listed), require the Partnership to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the surviving entity in any such transaction to issue a substantially equivalent security (or if the Partnership is unable to cause such substantially equivalent securities to be issued or if the Series A Change of Control consists of a transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which PSX or any of its affiliates (other than the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries) acquires all of the outstanding Common Units or all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership and its subsidiaries (including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, and whether for cash, non-cash consideration or a combination thereof), to convert into Common Units at a premium based on a specified formula subject to aggregate return limitations or to be converted in accordance with clause (a) above or redeemed in accordance with clause (d) below), (c) if the Partnership is the surviving entity, continue to hold the Preferred Units or (d) require the Partnership to redeem the Preferred Units at a price per unit equal to 101% of the Preferred Issue Price, plus accrued and unpaid distributions on the applicable Preferred Units and a pro rata portion of the distribution for the quarter in which the redemption occurs relating to the portion of such quarter that has elapsed as of the date of such redemption, which may be payable in cash, Common Units or a combination thereof at the election of the General Partner (and, if payable in Common Units, will be issued at 95% of the VWAP of the Common Units for the 30 trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the consummation of the Series A Change of Control).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, in connection with the Closing, the Partnership has agreed to enter into the Registration Rights Agreement in substantially the form attached as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Partnership will give the Purchasers certain rights to require the Partnership to file and maintain one or more registration statements with respect to the resale of the Preferred Units, the Common Units and the Common Units that are issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Units, and to require the Partnership to initiate underwritten offerings for the Common Units (including the Common Units that are issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Units).

This Exhibit shall govern the Accounting Procedures with regard to the billing and/or reimbursement of costs incurred by Operator in connection with the performance by Operator of the Services pursuant to the Agreement. These Accounting Procedures shall be effective from the date hereof until replaced or modified by mutual agreement of the Parties.

 

1.                                       General Provisions

 

(a)                                  Statements and Billings .  Operator shall record Company’s financial transactions resulting from the Agreement in Operator’s financial system and allow Company to access its records in that system.

 

(b)                                  Payments by Company .  Company shall pay all charges from Operator in accordance with Section 3.05 of the Agreement.

 

(c)                                   Adjustments .  Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the actual payment of any such bills shall not prejudice the right of Company to protest or question the correctness or appropriateness thereof; provided , however , that all bills and statements rendered to Company during any calendar Year shall conclusively be presumed to be true and correct after twenty-four (24) Months following the end of any such calendar Year, unless prior to the end of said twenty-four (24) Month period Company takes written exception thereto and makes a claim against Operator for adjustment.

 

(d)                                  Financial Records .  Operator shall maintain accurate books and records in accordance with GAAP (as may be modified by FERC requirements) and in accordance with the prescribed accounting requirements or system of accounts mandated by any regulatory body or government agency, both federal and state, if any, having jurisdiction over Operator, Company, or their respective businesses.

 

2.                                       Determination of Costs, Expenses and Expenditures .  Subject to the limitations and determinations hereinafter prescribed and the provisions of the Agreement, Operator shall be reimbursed for all costs, expenses, expenditures and fees by or on behalf of Operator in connection with the provision of the Services. Such reimbursement shall include any necessary Direct Costs (as defined in Paragraph 3 below) and the applicable portion of the Management Fee (as defined in the Omnibus Agreement).

 

(a)                                  It is the intent of the Parties that Services provided by employees of Operator shall be budgeted and billed by Operator on a Direct Cost basis pursuant to Section 3.03(a) of the Agreement to the extent that is feasible to measure and account for the Services directly provided by such employees to Operator by means of time sheets or other methods approved by Company. Direct Costs billed to Company shall normally include field operation and maintenance personnel, administrative personnel supporting Company on a

full time or near full time basis, and Home Office personnel (such as engineering and drafting personnel) typically assigned directly to Company-related projects whose time is accounted for by time sheets or other methods approved by Company.

 

(b)                                  It is the intent of the Parties that routine, ongoing Services (Home Office Overhead, General and Administrative Costs (hereinafter “G&A Costs”)) benefiting Company that are not feasible to measure and account for on a Direct Cost basis shall be billed by Operator as part of the Operational and Administrative Services Fee under the Omnibus Agreement.

Such G&A Costs shall not be included in the Operational and Administrative Services Fee under the Omnibus Agreement.

 

(d)                                  Operator reserves the right to submit for Company review and approval unusual G&A Costs that do not fit normal business billing patterns. Such costs might be for items that in Operator’s judgment are outside the scope of the Administrative Fee work such as engineering and drafting. (An example of this might be Operator’s attorney devoting several weeks exclusively to Company to handle a Company related issue.)

(b)                                  Plant, Property and Equipment .  The cost of plant, property and equipment purchased, leased or rented from suppliers and vendors expressly for the purpose of providing Services to Company under the Agreement.

4.3                                Additional Rent .

 

(a)                                  This Lease is what is commonly called a “triple net lease”, it being understood that Lessor shall receive the rent set forth in Section 4.1 and Lessee shall pay any and all Property Taxes and other costs or expenses of any nature whatsoever to the extent related to Lessee’s lease or Lessee’s Operations of the Premises.

Any sums so paid or expended by Lessor, with interest at the Late Payment Rate from the date of such payment or expenditure, shall be additional rent and shall be payable by Lessee on demand.

If Lessee shall fail to do so, then, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to, procure the discharge of the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due, by deposit in a court of competent jurisdiction or by bonding, and Lessor may defend the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and pay the amount of the judgment, if any, in favor of the lienor with interest, costs and allowances. Any amount paid or deposited by Lessor for any such purpose, and all other reasonable expenses of Lessor, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, together with interest at the Late Payment Rate from the date paid or deposited, shall be additional rent and shall be paid by Lessee on demand.

[Form of Third Amended and Restated Lease Agreement]

 

16



 

(i)              shall be levied, assessed or imposed on or against the Premises, Assets or Improvements or any interest of Lessor or Lessee in the Premises, Assets or Improvements; or

 

(ii)           shall be or become liens on or against the Premises, Assets or Improvements or any interest of Lessor or Lessee in the Premises, Assets or Improvements;

 

(b)                                  Nothing in this Lease shall require Lessee to pay any estate, inheritance, succession or transfer tax of Lessor or any income, excess profits or revenue tax on the rent payable by Lessee under this Lease; provided, however, that if at any time during the Term the methods of taxation prevailing at the Effective Date shall be altered so that in lieu of, as a supplement to, or a substitute for the whole or part of any Property Tax which Lessee has agreed to pay pursuant to this Section 9.1 , there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (i) a tax, assessment, levy imposition or charge, wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise, on the rents received under this Lease or (ii) a license fee measured by the rent payable by Lessee under this Lease, then Lessee shall pay the same.

 

(c)                                   Upon written request from Lessor, Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with satisfactory evidence that such Property Taxes have been paid. If any Property Taxes paid by Lessee shall cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration of the Term hereof, Lessee’s share of such Property Taxes shall be equitably pro-rated to cover only the period of time within the tax fiscal year during which this Lease shall be in effect, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee to the extent required. If Lessee shall fail to pay any such Property Taxes by their due date, Lessor shall have the right to pay the same, in which case Lessee shall repay such amount to Lessor on demand, together with any interest charge actually incurred by Lessor as to such Property Taxes.

 

9.2                                Joint Assessment . If the Premises, Assets and Improvements are not separately assessed, Lessor shall pay the Property Taxes as and when the same shall become due and payable without penalty, but Lessor shall forward a copy of the property tax bills to Lessee within five (5) business days of Lessor’s receipt of the tax bills and, subject to Section 9.3 below, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor within thirty (30) days of receipt of Lessor’s invoice, together with proof of payment thereof, an amount equal to Lessee’s pro-rata share of the Property Taxes for the parcel on which the Premises are located, as more particularly described in Exhibit A for that tax year and, with the express understanding and agreement between Lessor and Lessee that there will be a subsequent true-up of Lessee’s ultimate liability for Lessee’s proportion of the Property Taxes in accordance with the subsequent terms of this Section 9.2 , and that this Section 9.2 sets no precedent in the subsequent determination of the allocation. In the event the Premises, Assets and Improvements are subsequently separately assessed, the aforementioned true-up shall occur within thirty (30) days of receipt by either Party of such separate assessment. Lessee’s liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Property Taxes for the Premises, Assets and Improvements. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that such proportion will be mutually agreed to by Lessor and Lessee, acting in good faith. In the event that Lessor and Lessee are unable to mutually agree upon such proportion, the Parties shall mutually engage a competent, independent appraiser, whose opinion of proportion shall be binding upon both Parties. The apportionment set forth in this Section 9.2 is solely for the Parties’ benefit in estimating the liability for Property Taxes between them, and each Party hereby covenants and agrees to keep such allocation confidential and to not disclose, communicate or otherwise provide such apportionment at any time to any independent appraiser engaged under this Section 9.2 or in any court proceeding related thereto. The cost of engaging such appraiser shall be borne equally by Lessor and Lessee. These agreed upon allocated assessed values shall remain in effect until changed by the Parties, with either Party having the right to request a review of the allocation on an annual basis. Additionally, if the Premises, Assets or Improvements are not separately assessed, Lessor and Lessee also shall jointly attempt to have the Assessor separately assess the Premises, Assets and Improvements in such a way as to clearly and separately identify the value of the Premises, Assets and Improvements.

9.3                                Contesting Real Property Tax . Lessor and Lessee shall each have the right to contest or review, with due diligence and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Property Taxes associated with the Premises, Assets and Improvements, but only with the knowledge and consent of the other Party, it being the express intent of the Parties that they shall work together in cooperation with each other with any such contest or review. For Property Taxes that pertain to the years 2017 and beyond, Lessee shall have the right to contest or review, with due diligence and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Property Taxes associated with the Premises, Assets or Improvements by appropriate legal proceedings provided that if the contested Property Tax is not paid before the start of legal proceedings, then before instituting any proceedings Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety company bond, cash deposit or other security mutually agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee as reasonably satisfactory, as security for the payment of the Property Tax, in an amount sufficient to pay the Property Tax, that may be assessed against the Premises, Assets or Improvements in the legal proceedings. If the property valuation contested is jointly assessed, Lessee shall have a responsibility for surety bond only for that portion of valuation that constitutes the Premises, Assets or Improvements and in an amount determined by mutual consent of Lessor and Lessee. On termination of the legal proceedings or at any time when Lessor and Lessee shall reasonably deem the security to be insufficient for the purpose, Lessee shall, upon demand, deliver to Lessor additional security as is reasonably sufficient for the purpose, and upon failure of the Lessee to do so, the security originally deposited shall be applied to the payment, removal and discharge of the Property Tax and any interest, penalties, charges, and costs accruing in the legal proceedings and the balance, if any, shall be paid by Lessee. If the security shall be insufficient for this purpose, Lessee shall promptly pay over to Lessor an amount sufficient, together with the security originally deposited hereunder, to pay the same. In the event of any default by Lessee as defined in Article XI of this Lease, for failure to pay the Property Taxes, Lessor is authorized to use the security deposited under this Section 9.3 to apply on account of such default or to pay the Property Tax. The balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee. Lessor agrees that it will, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lessee in connection with Lessee’s contesting or reviewing any Property Taxes pursuant to this Section 9.3 , provided that Lessor shall not be subject to any liability arising out of any such cooperation, including any liability for the payment of any Property Taxes, costs or expenses.

 

9.4                                Other Taxes . Lessee shall pay, prior to delinquency, any franchise taxes, excise taxes, business and occupation taxes, gross sales taxes, gross receipt taxes, occupational license taxes and similar taxes that are assessed or levied on Lessee’s use or operation of the Premises.

16.2                         Severability . Every provision of this Lease is severable. If any term or provision hereof is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason by any duly constituted court, agency or tribunal, the legality, validity, or enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

16.3                         Captions . The table of contents, section headings and other captions contained in this Lease are for reference purposes only and do not interpret, define or limit the scope, extent or intent of this Lease or any provision hereof.

4.1          Owner will provide Customer with a commercially reasonable amount of temporary storage of Feedstock and Products.

5.2          The quality of the Feedstock, Slop, and Slurry received at the Facilities for Customer’s account and the quality of Products delivered to Customer or its Carriers will meet generally accepted industry standards, as applicable.  Owner may, from time to time, establish additional specifications that the Feedstock, Slop and/or Slurry must satisfy due to any safety, environmental or operational considerations at or relating to the Facilities.  For any service or function requested by Customer not specifically provided for in this Agreement, Customer will pay a prompt charge if the service is able to be provided by Owner or a third-party as agreed in advance by the parties hereto in writing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer waives any right to claim damages for contamination of Customer’s products due to line displacement and/or use of common lines.

6.4          Partial Period Proration .  If the Effective Date is any Day other than the first Day of a Month, then the Feedstock delivered to the Facilities for Customer’s account from the first Day of the Month through the Effective Date shall be considered for purposes of determining whether Company tendered its Minimum Contract Quantity for the Month.  If this Agreement is terminated on any Day other than the last Day of a Month, then any calculation determined with respect to a Month will be prorated by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Days in that part of the Month ending on the date of such termination, and the denominator of which is the number of Days in the Month.

7.2          In the fourth Quarter of each calendar year, Owner shall determine, in good faith, an estimate of the total annual property taxes owed for the immediately succeeding calendar year on the Facilities owned by Owner and located on the real property near the Sweeny Refinery Complex, and then use such estimate to calculate a per-Barrel fee (“ Service Fee ”) to be assessed on the Customer’s Minimum Contract Quantity, regardless of whether the Minimum Contract Quantity is actually delivered.  The Service Fee will be calculated by dividing such estimate by the Minimum Contract Quantity, i.e., 110,000 Barrels per Day * the number of  Days in the immediately succeeding calendar year.  Owner will provide written notice to Customer of the Service Fee to be assessed in the upcoming calendar year in accordance with the notice provisions in Section 14.7 below.  As between the parties, Owner shall pay all property taxes on the Facilities that become due after the Effective Date.  The Service Fee shall be $[ ] per Barrel on the Customer’s Minimum Contract Quantity for the remaining portion of the 2017 calendar year.  The Service Fee shall be included on Customer’s Monthly statement described in Section 9.1 below.

If new Laws require Owner to make substantial and unanticipated expenditures in connection with the services Owner provides to Customer under this Agreement, Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to secure a waiver, exception or extension for the time of compliance with the new Law in an effort to secure continued operation under existing applicable Laws during the term of this Agreement.  If Owner is unable to secure a waiver, exception or extension for continued operation using commercially reasonable efforts, then Owner will find a commercially reasonable manner to conform to the new Laws and give Customer commercially reasonable advance notice of any planned expenditures necessary for such compliance.  Customer will reimburse Owner for Customer’s proportionate share of the costs of complying with such Laws, or at Owner’s option, and if the parties agree, the relevant fees will be increased or an alternate mechanism shall be adopted to allow Owner to recover the amount paid for such costs over time from Customer or another entity.  The Customer’s “proportionate share” of the costs of complying with such Laws referenced in the immediately preceding sentence shall be 100% if Customer is Owner’s sole customer for services of the type that Owner provides under this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE XIV

In its June 14, 2017, ruling, the District Court  found that the Army Corps’ review and consideration of construction and operation of the DAPL Assets substantially complied with the National Environmental Policy Act in many respects, but that the Army Corps failed to adequately consider the impacts of an oil spill on Indian fishing and hunting rights, environmental justice, and the degree to which the DAPL Assets’ effects are likely to be highly controversial.  The District Court remanded these matters to the Army Corps for reconsideration as part of its environmental analysis.  Additionally, the District Court ordered briefing on whether the DAPL Assets must cease operations while the remand to the Army Corps is pending, which briefing was completed on August 28, 2017.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no way does this Section 5.04(a)  prohibit changes in the composition of any Purchaser or its partners or members so long as such changes in composition only relate to changes in direct or indirect ownership of the Purchaser or its partners or members so long as such changes in composition only relate to changes in direct or indirect ownership of the Purchaser among such Purchaser, its Affiliates and the limited partners of the private equity fund vehicles that indirectly own such Purchaser. After the first anniversary of the Closing Date, a Purchaser or other holder of Series A Preferred Units may transfer Series A Preferred Units, PIK Units and/or Conversion Units, as applicable, representing, on an as-converted basis, an underlying value of Conversion Units in an aggregate amount of not less than $50 million based on the closing trading price of Common Units on the date immediately preceding the date of such transfer on the NYSE or other National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then listed for trading (or such lesser amount if such lesser amount (x) constitutes all of the remaining Series A Preferred Units held by such Purchaser or (y) has been approved in writing by the General Partner, in its sole discretion), subject to compliance with applicable securities Laws and the Partnership Agreement; provided,

 

28



 

however , that the provisions of this sentence shall not eliminate, modify or reduce the obligations set forth in clauses (ii) , (iii)  or (iv)  above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (i)  of this Section 5.04(a) , but subject to clauses (ii) , (iii)  and (iv)  of this Section 5.04(a) , (A) during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date (the “ Non-Affiliate Transfer Period ”), the Lead Purchaser and its Affiliates may transfer or dispose of Purchased Units to one or more non-Affiliates of the Lead Purchaser, subject to the consent of the Partnership as to the identity of the transferee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in a maximum of two transfers or dispositions of Preferred Units and (B) each Initial Purchaser may, during the one-year period after the Closing Date, transfer or dispose of Preferred Units to any current or future limited partner of any investment entity managed or controlled by such Initial Purchaser’s current general partner or a general partner or manager that is an Affiliate of such current general partner and is an endowment, pension or insurance investment entity; provided further, that any transfers made pursuant to clause (A)  or (B)  of this sentence by an Initial Purchaser (1) must consist of Purchased Preferred Units in an amount not less than $25 million based on the Preferred Unit Purchase Price, (2) the aggregate amount of Purchased Preferred Units and rights to purchase Purchased Preferred Units of such Initial Purchaser and its Affiliates transferred pursuant to this sentence and Section 8.10 shall not be greater than $100 million based on the Preferred Unit Purchase Price, and (3) such transfers are subject to the consent of the Partnership as to the identity of the transferee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.04(a)  shall restrict the Purchasers of Purchased Common Units from taking any action with respect to such Purchaser’s Purchased Common Units in accordance with the Partnership Agreement and applicable securities Laws.

 

(b)                                  Without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority of the Purchased Units, during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending 90 days after the Closing Date, the Partnership will not (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Units, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing with respect to any of the foregoing, or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Units or any such other securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i)  or (ii)  above is to be settled by delivery of Common Units or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, other than (A) as specifically provided in this Agreement or in the Contribution Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) grants or issuances of equity awards pursuant to the incentive compensation plans or non-employee director compensation program described in the Partnership SEC Documents, (C) the filing by the Partnership of a registration statement on Form S-8, (D) offers or sales of Common Units pursuant to the Partnership’s “at the market” offering program pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-209870) filed with the Commission on March 1, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Commission on May 10, 2016, and (E) any grants or issuances of Common Units upon exercise or vesting of phantom units, performance units or other equity-based awards to the extent outstanding on the date hereof pursuant to the Partnership’s incentive compensation plans.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.04(b)  shall restrict or otherwise limit the Partnership from (x) offering and selling securities that are not Common Units or securities

 

29



 

convertible or exchangeable for Common Units or (y) from filing with the Commission an additional registration statement on Form S-3 covering an “at the market” offering program, provided that the Partnership shall not make any offers or sales of Common Units under such additional registration statement until the expiration of the lock-up period identified in this Section 5.04(b) .

For purposes of this Section 5.06 , all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Partnership Agreement.

Section 6.02                             Indemnification by the Purchasers . Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify the Partnership, the General Partner and their respective Representatives (collectively, “ Partnership Indemnified Parties ”) from costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for, any and all costs, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted), joint or several, that the Partnership Indemnified Party may incur, whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim, insofar as such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, (a) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by such Purchaser contained herein to be true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 , Section 4.02, Se ction 4.04 , Section 4.05(a) , Section 4.05(c)  and Section 4.05(f)  or other representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import, with respect to which such representation or warranty, or applicable portions thereof, which, in each case, shall be true and correct in all respects) when made and as of the Closing Date and (b) the breach of any of the covenants of such Purchaser contained herein, provided that, in the case of the immediately preceding clause (a) , such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of any representation or warranty is made prior to the expiration of the survival period of such representation or warranty; provided further that (x) for purposes of determining when an indemnification claim has been made, the date upon which a Partnership Indemnified Party shall have given notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification) to such Purchaser shall constitute the date upon which such claim has been made and (y) the liability of each such Purchaser shall not be greater in amount than the sum of such Purchaser’s respective Funding Obligation plus any distributions paid to such Purchaser with respect to the Purchased Units, the PIK Units and the Conversion Units, if applicable. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, no Partnership Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover special, indirect, exemplary, lost profits, speculative or punitive damages

under this Section 6.02 ; provided, however, that such limitation shall not prevent any Partnership Indemnified Party from recovering under this Section 6.02 for any such damages to the extent that such damages are payable to a third party in connection with any Third-Party Claims.

 

Section 6.03                             Indemnification Procedure.

 

(a)                                  A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought; provided, however, that failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not preclude the indemnified party from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with this Article VI, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02 .

 

(b)                                  Promptly after any Partnership Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party (hereinafter, the “ Indemnified Party ”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement (each a “ Third-Party Claim ”), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) written notice of such Third-Party Claim, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such Third-Party Claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly, and in no event later than 10 days, notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has, within 10 Business Days of when the Indemnified Party provides written notice of a Third-Party Claim, failed (1) to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (2) to notify the Indemnified Party of such assumption or (B) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of

 

32



 

such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.

(a)                                  Delay .

(a)                                  Any Purchaser may share Evaluation Material and Discussion Information (as each is defined in each of the Confidentiality Agreements) with (i) any of the limited partners of the private equity fund vehicles that indirectly own such Purchaser at any time, provided that any such limited partner will be deemed to be a “Representative” of such Purchaser under its Confidentiality Agreement, and (ii) during the Non-Affiliate Transfer Period, the Lead Purchaser may, with the prior written consent of the Partnership (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), share Evaluation Material and Discussion Information (as defined in the Lead Purchaser’s Confidentiality Agreement), including the identity of the Partnership, the size of the investment and its pricing terms with respect to the Series A Preferred Units, with any bona fide potential transferee of Purchased Units in accordance with Section 5.04(a) , provided that such potential transferee executes a letter agreement with the Lead Purchaser agreeing (x) that it and its respective representatives shall be deemed “Representatives” under the Lead Purchaser’s Confidentiality Agreement and shall be responsible for any breaches of such Confidentiality Agreement as if originally a party thereto and (y) that the Partnership is an express third-party beneficiary of such letter agreement. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall not impact the terms and provisions of any of the Confidentiality Agreements.

No such withdrawal or abandonment shall affect the Partnership’s obligation to pay Registration Expenses.

(b)                                  if a prospectus supplement will be used in connection with the marketing of an Underwritten Offering under a Registration Statement and the Managing Underwriter at any time shall notify the Partnership in writing that, in the sole judgment of such Managing Underwriter, inclusion of detailed information to be used in such prospectus supplement is of material importance to the success of such Underwritten Offering, the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include such information in such prospectus supplement;

(g)                                   upon request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, furnish to each Selling Holder copies of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence with the Commission or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to such offering of Registrable Securities;

(k)                                  use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Common Unit Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then listed and traded) or a nationally recognized quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Partnership are then listed; provided , however , that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall have no obligation to cause any Series A Preferred Unit Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on any National Securities Exchange or nationally recognized quotation system;

 

(l)                                      use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Partnership to enable the Selling Holders to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

[Form of Registration Rights Agreement]

 

14



 

(o)                                  if reasonably requested by a Selling Holder, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such Selling Holder reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

(q)                                  if any Holder could reasonably be deemed to be an “underwriter,” as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, in connection with a Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereof (a “ Holder Underwriter Registration Statement ”), then the Partnership will reasonably cooperate with such Holder in allowing such Holder to conduct customary “underwriter’s due diligence” with respect to the Partnership and satisfy its obligations in respect thereof. In addition, at any Holder’s request, the Partnership will furnish to such Holder, on the date of the effectiveness of the Holder Underwriter Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as such Holder may reasonably request (provided that such request shall not be more frequently than on an annual basis unless such Holder is offering Registrable Securities pursuant to a Holder Underwriter Registration Statement), (i) a “comfort letter,” dated such date, from the Partnership’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as has been customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership, addressed to such Holder, (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Partnership for purposes of the Holder Underwriter Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as has been customarily given in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership, accompanied by standard “10b-5” negative assurance for such offerings, addressed to such Holder and (iii) a standard officer’s certificate from the chief executive officer or chief financial officer, or other officers serving such functions, of the General Partner addressed to the Holder, as has been customarily given by such officers in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.04 , the Partnership will not name a Holder as an underwriter (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act) in any Registration Statement or Holder Underwriter Registration Statement, as applicable, without such Holder’s consent. If the staff of the Commission requires the Partnership to name any Holder as an underwriter (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act), and such Holder does not consent thereto, then such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall not be included on the applicable Registration Statement, and the Partnership shall have no further obligations

Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Partnership of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection (f)  of this Section 2.04 , shall forthwith discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus or prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection (f)  of this Section 2.04 or until it is advised in writing by the Partnership that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Partnership, such Selling Holder will, or will request the Managing Underwriter or Managing Underwriters, if any, to deliver to the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) all copies in their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

 

Section 10.05                      Cooperation by Holders . The Partnership shall have no obligation to include Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement or in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.03(a)  if such Holder has failed to timely furnish such information that the Partnership determines, after consultation with its counsel, is reasonably required in order for any registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act.

In addition, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.08 , the Partnership shall not be responsible for professional fees (including legal fees) incurred by Holders in connection with the exercise of such Holders’ rights hereunder.

 

Section 10.08                      Indemnification .

 

(a)                                  By the Partnership . In the event of a Registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Partnership will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder thereunder, its directors, officers, managers, partners, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, managers, partners, employees or agents (collectively, the “ Selling Holder Indemnified Persons ”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “ Losses ”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (in the case of any prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which such statement is made) contained in (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes documents incorporated by reference in) the applicable Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or any free writing prospectus relating thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and will reimburse each such Selling Holder Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or resolving any such Loss or actions or proceedings; provided , however , that the Partnership will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity

 

[Form of Registration Rights Agreement]

 

17



 

with information furnished by such Selling Holder Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in the applicable Registration Statement or other registration statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Selling Holder Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder.

 

(b)                                  By Each Selling Holder . Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the General Partner and the General Partner’s directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, who, directly or indirectly, controls the Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any free writing prospectus relating thereto; provided , however , that the liability of each Selling Holder shall not be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of any Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification.

 

(c)                                   Notice . Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 2.08(c), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure. In any action brought against any indemnified party, it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 2.08 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided , however , that, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no indemnifying party shall settle any action brought against any indemnified party with respect to which such indemnified party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder

 

[Form of Registration Rights Agreement]

 

18



 

without the consent of the indemnified party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, includes a complete and unconditional release from liability of, and does not contain any admission of wrongdoing by, the indemnified party.

 

(d)                                  Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.08 is held by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to any indemnified party or is insufficient to hold them harmless in respect of any Losses, then each such indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided , however , that in no event shall any Selling Holder be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the dollar amount of proceeds (net of Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. The relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, defending or resolving any Loss that is the subject of this paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(e)                                   Other Indemnification . The provisions of this Section 2.08 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise.

 

Section 10.09                      Securities Act Reporting . With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the resale of the Registrable Securities without registration, the Partnership agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

 

(a)                                  make and keep public information regarding the Partnership available, as those terms are understood and defined under the Securities Act, at all times from and after the date hereof;

 

(b)                                  file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Partnership under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof; and

(c)                                   so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish (i) to the extent accurate, forthwith upon request, a written statement of the Partnership that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, or any other available safe-harbor or exemption, under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in effect) and (ii) unless otherwise available via the Commission’s EDGAR filing system, to such Holder forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Partnership, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

 

Section 10.10                      Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights . The rights to cause the Partnership to register Registrable Securities under this Article II may be transferred or assigned by each Holder to one or more transferees or assignees of Registrable Securities; provided , however , that (a) unless any such transferee or assignee is an Affiliate of, and after such transfer or assignment continues to be an Affiliate of, such Holder, the amount of Registrable Securities transferred or assigned to such transferee or assignee shall represent at least $50 million of Registrable Securities (based on the Common Unit Price), or such lesser amount if it constitutes the remaining holdings of the Holder and its Affiliates; (b) the Partnership is given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; and (c) each such transferee or assignee assumes in writing responsibility for its portion of the obligations of such transferring Holder under this Agreement.

 

Section 10.11                      Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights . From and after the date hereof, the Partnership shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Unit Registrable Securities and securities convertible into Common Unit Registrable Securities (voting on an as-converted basis as described in Section 5.11(b)(ii)(A) of the Partnership Agreement), voting as a single class, enter into any agreement with any current or future holder of any securities of the Partnership that would allow such current or future holder to require the Partnership to include securities in any registration statement filed by the Partnership for Other Holders on a basis other than pari passu with, or expressly subordinate to, the piggyback rights of the Holders of Common Unit Registrable Securities hereunder; provided , that in no event shall the Partnership enter into any agreement that would permit another holder of securities of the Partnership to participate on a pari passu basis (in terms of priority of cut-back based on advice of underwriters) with a Purchaser requesting registration or takedown in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.03(a) .

 

Section 10.12                      Limitation on Obligations for Series A Preferred Units .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be construed to require the Partnership to (a) conduct an underwritten offering for the public sale, resale or any other disposition of Series A Preferred Unit Registrable Securities, (b) except as expressly provided in this Agreement, otherwise assist in the public resale of any Series A Preferred Unit Registrable Securities, (c) provide any Holder of Series A Preferred Unit Registrable Securities any rights to include any Series A Preferred Unit Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering relating to the sale by the Partnership or any other Person of any securities of the Partnership or (d) cause any Series A Preferred Unit Registrable Securities to be listed on any securities exchange or nationally recognized quotation system.

If any provision in this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, not binding or unenforceable, (a) such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, not binding or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and (b) the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

(b)                                  The appropriate officers of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall execute and deliver, and the Transfer Agent shall countersign, a new Certificate in place of any Certificate previously issued, if the Record Holder of the Certificate:

(a)                                  Except as provided in Section 4.8(e) , notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV , no transfer of any Partnership Interests shall be made if such transfer would (i) violate the then applicable federal or state securities laws or rules and regulations of the Commission, any state securities commission or any other governmental authority with jurisdiction over such transfer, (ii) terminate the existence or qualification of the Partnership under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, or (iii) cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed).  The Partnership may issue stop transfer instructions to any Transfer Agent in order to implement any restriction on transfer contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(b)                                  The General Partner may impose restrictions on the transfer of Partnership Interests if it receives an Opinion of Counsel that such restrictions are necessary to (i) avoid a significant risk of the Partnership becoming taxable as a corporation or otherwise becoming taxable as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed) or (ii) preserve the uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof).

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY ACKNOWLEDGES FOR THE BENEFIT OF PHILLIPS 66 PARTNERS LP THAT THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IF SUCH TRANSFER (AS DEFINED IN THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT) WOULD (A) VIOLATE THE THEN APPLICABLE FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY WITH JURISDICTION OVER SUCH TRANSFER, (B) TERMINATE THE EXISTENCE OR QUALIFICATION OF PHILLIPS 66 PARTNERS LP UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, OR (C) CAUSE PHILLIPS 66 PARTNERS LP TO BE TREATED AS AN ASSOCIATION TAXABLE AS A CORPORATION OR OTHERWISE TO BE TAXED AS AN ENTITY FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES (TO THE EXTENT NOT ALREADY SO TREATED OR TAXED).  THE GENERAL PARTNER OF PHILLIPS 66 PARTNERS LP MAY IMPOSE ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IF IT RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT SUCH RESTRICTIONS ARE NECESSARY TO AVOID A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF PHILLIPS 66 PARTNERS LP BECOMING TAXABLE AS A CORPORATION OR OTHERWISE BECOMING TAXABLE AS AN ENTITY FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.  THIS SECURITY MAY BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON ITS TRANSFER PROVIDED IN THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT.  COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS SECURITY TO THE SECRETARY

Section 15.09                      Eligibility Certificates; Ineligible Holders .

 

(a)                                  The General Partner may upon demand or on a regular basis require Limited Partners, and transferees of Limited Partner Interests in connection with a transfer, to execute an Eligibility Certificate or provide other information as is necessary for the General Partner to determine if any such Limited Partners or transferees are Ineligible Holders.

 

(b)                                  If any Limited Partner (or its beneficial owners) fails to furnish to the General Partner within 30 days of its request an Eligibility Certificate and other information related thereto, or if upon receipt of such Eligibility Certificate or other requested information the General Partner determines that a Limited Partner or a transferee of a Limited Partner is an Ineligible Holder, the Limited Partner Interests owned by such Limited Partner shall be subject to redemption in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10 or the General Partner may refuse to effect the transfer of the Limited Partner Interests to such transferee.  In addition, the General Partner shall be substituted for any Limited Partner that is an Ineligible Holder as the Limited Partner in respect of the Ineligible Holder’s Limited Partner Interests.

 

(c)                                   The General Partner shall, in exercising voting rights in respect of Limited Partner Interests held by it on behalf of Ineligible Holders, distribute the votes in the same ratios as the votes of Limited Partners (including the General Partner and its Affiliates) in respect of Limited Partner Interests other than those of Ineligible Holders are cast, either for, against or abstaining as to the matter.

 

(d)                                  Upon dissolution of the Partnership, an Ineligible Holder shall have no right to receive a distribution in kind pursuant to Section 12.4 but shall be entitled to the cash equivalent thereof, and the Partnership shall provide cash in exchange for an assignment of the Ineligible Holder’s share of any distribution in kind.  Such payment and assignment shall be treated for Partnership purposes as a purchase by the Partnership from the Ineligible Holder of its Limited Partner Interest (representing the right to receive its share of such distribution in kind).

 

(e)                                   At any time after an Ineligible Holder can and does certify that it no longer is an Ineligible Holder, it may, upon application to the General Partner, request that with respect to any Limited Partner Interests of such Ineligible Holder not redeemed pursuant to Section 4.10 , such Ineligible Holder upon approval of the General Partner, shall no longer constitute an Ineligible Holder and the General Partner shall cease to be deemed to be the Limited Partner in respect of such Limited Partner Interests.

 

(f)                                    If at any time a transferee of a Partnership Interest fails to furnish an Eligibility Certificate or any other information requested by the General Partner pursuant to

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

40



 

Section 4.9 within 30 days of such request, or if upon receipt of such Eligibility Certificate or other information the General Partner determines, with the advice of counsel, that such transferee is an Ineligible Holder, the Partnership may, unless the transferee establishes to the satisfaction of the General Partner that such transferee is not an Ineligible Holder, prohibit and void the transfer, including by placing a stop order with the Transfer Agent.

 

Section 15.10                      Redemption of Partnership Interests of Ineligible Holders .

 

(a)                                  If at any time a Limited Partner fails to furnish an Eligibility Certificate or any other information requested within the period of time specified in Section 4.9 , or if upon receipt of such Eligibility Certificate or other information the General Partner determines, with the advice of counsel, that a Limited Partner is an Ineligible Holder, the Partnership may, unless the Limited Partner establishes to the satisfaction of the General Partner that such Limited Partner is not an Ineligible Holder or has transferred his Limited Partner Interests to a Person who is not an Ineligible Holder and who furnishes an Eligibility Certificate to the General Partner prior to the date fixed for redemption as provided below, redeem the Limited Partner Interest of such Limited Partner as follows:

 

(i)                                      The General Partner shall, not later than the 30 th  day before the date fixed for redemption, give notice of redemption to the Limited Partner, at such Limited Partner’s last address designated on the records of the Partnership or the Transfer Agent, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid.  The notice shall be deemed to have been given when so mailed.  The notice shall specify the Redeemable Interests, the date fixed for redemption, the place of payment, that payment of the redemption price will be made upon redemption of the Redeemable Interests (or, if later in the case of Redeemable Interests evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender of the Certificate evidencing the Redeemable Interests) and that on and after the date fixed for redemption no further allocations or distributions to which such Limited Partner would otherwise be entitled in respect of the Redeemable Interests will accrue or be made.

 

(ii)                                   The aggregate redemption price for Redeemable Interests shall be an amount equal to the Current Market Price (the date of determination of which shall be the date fixed for redemption) of Limited Partner Interests of the class to be so redeemed multiplied by the number of Limited Partner Interests of each such class included among the Redeemable Interests.  The redemption price shall be paid, as determined by the General Partner, in cash or by delivery of a promissory note of the Partnership in the principal amount of the redemption price, bearing interest at the rate of 5% annually and payable in three equal annual installments of principal together with accrued interest, commencing one year after the redemption date.

 

(iii)                                The Limited Partner or such Limited Partner’s duly authorized representative shall be entitled to receive the payment for the Redeemable Interests at the place of payment specified in the notice of redemption on the redemption date (or, if later in the case of Redeemable Interests evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender by or on behalf of the Limited Partner or transferee at the place specified in the notice of

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

41



 

redemption, of the Certificate evidencing the Redeemable Interests, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by an assignment duly executed in blank).

 

(iv)                               After the redemption date, Redeemable Interests shall no longer constitute issued and Outstanding Limited Partner Interests.

 

(b)                                  The provisions of this Section 4.10 shall also be applicable to Limited Partner Interests held by a Limited Partner as nominee, agent or representative of a Person determined to be an Ineligible Holder.

 

(c)                                   Nothing in this Section 4.10 shall prevent the recipient of a notice of redemption from transferring his Limited Partner Interest before the redemption date if such transfer is otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the transferor provides notice of such transfer to the General Partner.  Upon receipt of notice of such a transfer, the General Partner shall withdraw the notice of redemption, provided the transferee of such Limited Partner Interest certifies to the satisfaction of the General Partner that such transferee is not an Ineligible Holder.  If the transferee fails to make such certification within 30 days after the request and, in any event, before the redemption date, such redemption shall be effected from the transferee on the original redemption date.

Section 16.04                      Interest and Withdrawal . No interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital Contributions.  No Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its Capital Contribution, except to the extent, if any, that distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon termination of the Partnership may be considered as such by law and then only to the extent provided for in this Agreement.  Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall have priority over any other Partner either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions.  Any such return shall be a compromise to which all Partners agree within the meaning of Section 17-502(b) of the Delaware Act.

 

Section 16.05                      Capital Accounts .

 

(a)                                  The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner (or a beneficial owner of Partnership Interests held by a nominee, agent or representative in any case in which such nominee, agent or representative has furnished the identity of such owner to the Partnership in accordance with Section 6031(c) of the Code or any other method acceptable to the General Partner) owning a Partnership Interest a separate Capital Account with respect to such Partnership Interest in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).  The initial Capital Account balance attributable to the General Partner Units issued to the General Partner pursuant to Section 5.2(a)  shall equal the Net Agreed Value of the Capital Contribution specified in Section 5.2(a) , which shall be deemed to equal the product of the number of General Partner Units issued to the General Partner pursuant to Section 5.2(a)  and the Initial Unit Price for each Common Unit (and the initial Capital Account balance attributable to each General Partner Unit shall equal the Initial Unit Price for each Common Unit).  The initial Capital Account balance attributable to the Common Units and Subordinated Units issued to Phillips 66 Company pursuant to Section 5.3(a)  shall equal the respective Net Agreed Value of the Capital Contributions specified in Section 5.3(a) , which shall be deemed to equal the product of the number of Common Units and Subordinated Units issued to Phillips 66 Company pursuant to Section 5.3(a) and the Initial Unit Price for each such Common Unit and Subordinated Unit (and the initial Capital Account balance attributable to each such Common Unit and Subordinated Unit shall equal its Initial Unit Price).  The initial Capital Account balance attributable to the Common Units issued to the IPO Underwriters pursuant to Section 5.3(b)  shall equal the product of the number of Common Units so issued to the IPO Underwriters and the Initial Unit Price for each Common Unit (and the initial Capital Account balance attributable to each such Common Unit shall equal its Initial Unit Price).  The initial Capital Account attributable to the Incentive Distribution Rights shall be zero.  Thereafter, the Capital Account shall in respect of each such Partnership Interest be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made to the Partnership with respect to such Partnership Interest and (ii) all items of Partnership income and gain (including income and gain exempt from tax) computed in accordance with Section 5.5(b)  and allocated with respect to such Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 6.1 , and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Net Agreed Value of all actual and deemed distributions of cash or property (other than Series A PIK Units) made with respect to such Partnership Interest and (y) all items of Partnership deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 5.5(b)  and allocated with respect to such Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 6.1 . For the avoidance of doubt, each Series A Preferred Unit will be treated as a partnership interest in the Partnership that is “convertible equity” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.721-2(g)(3), and, therefore, each holder of a Series A Preferred Unit will be

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

44



 

treated as a partner in the Partnership. The initial Capital Account balance in respect of each Series A Preferred Unit issued on the Series A Issuance Date shall be the Series A Issue Price.  The Capital Account balance of each holder of Series A Preferred Units in respect of its Series A Preferred Units shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the accrual and accumulation of an unpaid distribution pursuant to Section 5.11(b)(i)(B)  or Section 5.11(b)(i)(C)  in respect of such Series A Preferred Units except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

 

(b)                                  For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is to be allocated pursuant to Article VI and is to be reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes (including any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for that purpose), provided that:

 

(i)                                      Solely for purposes of this Section 5.5 , the Partnership shall be treated as owning directly its proportionate share (as determined by the General Partner based upon the provisions of the applicable Group Member Agreement or governing, organizational or similar documents) of all property owned by (x) any other Group Member that is classified as a partnership or disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes and (y) any other partnership, limited liability company, unincorporated business or other entity classified as a partnership or disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes of which a Group Member is, directly or indirectly, a partner, member or other equity holder.

 

(ii)                                   All fees and other expenses incurred by the Partnership to promote the sale of (or to sell) a Partnership Interest that can neither be deducted nor amortized under Section 709 of the Code, if any, shall, for purposes of Capital Account maintenance, be treated as an item of deduction at the time such fees and other expenses are incurred and shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1 .

 

(iii)                                Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code that may be made by the Partnership.  To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment in the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain or loss.

 

(iv)                               Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Partnership property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Partnership’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.

 

(v)                                  An item of income of the Partnership that is described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) of the Code (with respect to items of income that are exempt from tax) shall be treated as an item of income for the purpose of this Section 5.5(b), and an item of expense of the Partnership that is described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code (with respect to

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

expenditures that are not deductible and not chargeable to capital accounts), shall be treated as an item of deduction for the purpose of this Section 5.5(b) .

 

(vi)                               In accordance with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code, any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to any Contributed Property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property on the date it was acquired by the Partnership were equal to the Agreed Value of such property.  Upon an adjustment pursuant to Section 5.5(d)  to the Carrying Value of any Partnership property subject to depreciation, cost recovery or amortization, any further deductions for such depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to such property shall be determined under the rules prescribed by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d)(2) as if the adjusted basis of such property were equal to the Carrying Value of such property immediately following such adjustment.

 

(vii)                            The Gross Liability Value of each Liability of the Partnership described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-7(b)(3)(i) shall be adjusted at such times as provided in this Agreement for an adjustment to Carrying Values.  The amount of any such adjustment shall be treated for purposes hereof as an item of loss (if the adjustment increases the Carrying Value of such Liability of the Partnership) or an item of gain (if the adjustment decreases the Carrying Value of such Liability of the Partnership).

 

(c)                                   (i)                                      Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.5(c) , a transferee of a Partnership Interest shall succeed to a Pro Rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor relating to the Partnership Interest so transferred.

 

(ii)                                   Subject to Section 6.7(b) , immediately prior to the transfer of an IDR Reset Common Unit by a holder thereof (other than a transfer to an Affiliate unless the General Partner elects to have this subparagraph 5.5(c)(iii)  apply), the Capital Account maintained for such Person with respect to its IDR Reset Common Units will (A) first, be allocated to the IDR Reset Common Units to be transferred in an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of such IDR Reset Common Units to be transferred and (y) the Per Unit Capital Amount for a Common Unit, and (B) second, any remaining balance in such Capital Account will be retained by the transferor, regardless of whether it has retained any IDR Reset Common Units. Following any such allocation, the transferor’s Capital Account, if any, maintained with respect to the retained IDR Reset Common Units, if any, will have a balance equal to the amount allocated under clause (B)  hereinabove, and the transferee’s Capital Account established with respect to the transferred IDR Reset Common Units will have a balance equal to the amount allocated under clause (A)  above.

 

(d)                                  (i)                                      In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), on an issuance of additional Partnership Interests for cash or Contributed Property, the issuance of Partnership Interests as consideration for the provision of services, or the conversion of the General Partner’s Combined Interest to Common Units pursuant to Section 11.3(b) , the Capital Account of each Partner and the Carrying Value of each Partnership property immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, and any such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss shall be treated, for purposes of maintaining Capital

Accounts, as if it had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property for an amount equal to its fair market value immediately prior to such issuance and had been allocated among the Partners at such time pursuant to Section 6.1(c)  and Section 6.1(d)  in the same manner as any item of gain or loss actually recognized following an event giving rise to the dissolution of the Partnership would have been allocated; provided, however, that in the event of an issuance of Partnership Interests for a de minimis amount of cash or Contributed Property, or in the event of an issuance of a de minimis amount of Partnership Interests as consideration for the provision of services, the General Partner may determine that such adjustments are unnecessary for the proper administration of the Partnership.  In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate fair market value of all Partnership property (including cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to the issuance of additional Partnership Interests shall be determined by the General Partner using such method of valuation as it may adopt.  In making its determination of the fair market values of individual properties, the General Partner may determine that it is appropriate to first determine an aggregate value for the Partnership, derived from the current trading price of the Common Units, and taking fully into account the fair market value of the Partnership Interests of all Partners at such time, and then allocate such aggregate value among the individual properties of the Partnership (in such manner as it determines appropriate).

 

(ii)                                   In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to any actual or deemed distribution to a Partner of any Partnership property (other than a distribution of cash that is not in redemption or retirement of a Partnership Interest), the Capital Accounts of all Partners and the Carrying Value of all Partnership property shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, and any such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss shall be treated, for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts, as if it had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property immediately prior to such distribution for an amount equal to its fair market value, and had been allocated among the Partners, at such time, pursuant to Section 6.1(c)  and Section 6.1(d)  in the same manner as any item of gain or loss actually recognized following an event giving rise to the dissolution of the Partnership would have been allocated.  In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss the aggregate fair market value of all Partnership property (including cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to a distribution shall (A) in the case of an actual distribution that is not made pursuant to Section 12.4 or in the case of a deemed distribution, be determined in the same manner as that provided in Section 5.5(d)(i)  or (B) in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Section 12.4 , be determined by the Liquidator using such method of valuation as it may adopt.

 

(iii)                                In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s), immediately after the conversion of a Series A Preferred Unit into a Common Unit in accordance with Section 5.11(b)(v) , the Capital Account of each Partner and the Carrying Value of each Partnership property shall be adjusted to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property for an amount equal to its fair market value immediately after such conversion and (A) first, all Unrealized Gain (if the Capital Account of each such Series A Conversion Unit is less than the Per Unit Capital Account for a then Outstanding Initial Common Unit) or Unrealized Loss (if the Capital Account of each such Series A Conversion Unit is greater  than the Per Unit Capital Account for a then Outstanding

Initial Common Unit) had been allocated Pro Rata to each Partner holding Series A Conversion Units received upon such conversion until the Capital Account of each such Series A Conversion Unit is equal to the Per Unit Capital Amount for a then Outstanding Initial Common Unit; and (B) second, any remaining Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been allocated to the Partners at such time pursuant to Section 6.1(c)  and Section 6.1(d) . In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets immediately after the conversion of a Series A Preferred Unit shall be determined by the General Partner using such method of valuation as it may adopt (taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code); provided, however , that the General Partner, in arriving at such valuation, must take fully into account the fair market value of the Partnership Interests of all Partners at such time and must make such adjustments to such valuation as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(h)(2). The General Partner shall allocate such aggregate value among the assets of the Partnership in such manner as it determines in its discretion. If, after making the allocations of Unrealized Gain and Unrealized Loss as set forth above in this Section 5.5(d)(iii) , the Capital Account of each Partner with respect to each Series A Conversion Unit received upon such conversion of the Series A Preferred Unit is less than the Per Unit Capital Amount for a then Outstanding Initial Common Unit, then Capital Account balances shall be reallocated between the Partners holding Common Units (other than Series A Conversion Units) and Partners holding Series A Conversion Units so as to cause the Capital Account of each Partner holding a Series A Conversion Unit to equal, on a per Unit basis with respect to each such Series A Conversion Unit, the Per Unit Capital Amount for a then Outstanding Initial Common Unit.

 

Section 16.06                      Issuances of Additional Partnership Interests .

 

(a)                                  Subject to Section 5.7 and Section 5.11(b)(iii), t he Partnership may issue additional Partnership Interests and Derivative Partnership Interests for any Partnership purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as the General Partner shall determine, all without the approval of any Limited Partners.

 

(b)                                  Each additional Partnership Interest authorized to be issued by the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.6(a)  may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any such classes, with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing classes and series of Partnership Interests), as shall be fixed by the General Partner, including (i) the right to share in Partnership profits and losses or items thereof; (ii) the right to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, the Partnership may or shall be required to redeem the Partnership Interest; (v) whether such Partnership Interest is issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which each Partnership Interest will be issued, evidenced by Certificates and assigned or transferred; (vii) the method for determining the Percentage Interest as to such Partnership Interest; and (viii) the right, if any, of each such Partnership Interest to vote on Partnership matters, including matters relating to the relative rights, preferences and privileges of such Partnership Interest.

(c)                                   The General Partner shall take all actions that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with (i) each issuance of Partnership Interests and Derivative Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section 5.6 , including Common Units issued in connection with the Deferred Issuance, (ii) the conversion of the Combined Interest into Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) the issuance of Common Units pursuant to Section 5.10 , (iv) reflecting admission of such additional Limited Partners in the Partnership Register as the Record Holders of such Limited Partner Interests and (v) all additional issuances of Partnership Interests and Derivative Partnership Interests.  The General Partner shall determine the relative rights, powers and duties of the holders of the Units or other Partnership Interests or Derivative Partnership Interests being so issued.  The General Partner shall do all things necessary to comply with the Delaware Act and is authorized and directed to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with any future issuance of Partnership Interests or Derivative Partnership Interests or in connection with the conversion of the Combined Interest into Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including compliance with any statute, rule, regulation or guideline of any federal, state or other governmental agency or any National Securities Exchange on which the Units or other Partnership Interests are listed or admitted to trading.

 

(d)                                  No fractional Units shall be issued by the Partnership.

 

Section 16.07                      Limited Preemptive Right .  Except as provided in this Section 5.7 and in Section 5.2 and Section 5.10 or as otherwise provided in a separate agreement by the Partnership, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to the issuance of any Partnership Interest, whether unissued, held in the treasury or hereafter created.  Other than with respect to the issuance of Partnership Interests in connection with the Initial Public Offering, the General Partner shall have the right, which it may from time to time assign in whole or in part to any of its Affiliates, to purchase Partnership Interests from the Partnership whenever, and on the same terms that, the Partnership issues Partnership Interests to Persons other than the General Partner and its Affiliates, to the extent necessary to maintain the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and its Affiliates equal to that which existed immediately prior to the issuance of such Partnership Interests. The determination by the General Partner to exercise (or refrain from exercising) its right pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be a determination made in its individual capacity.

 

Section 16.08                      Splits and Combinations .

(b)                                  Whenever such a distribution, subdivision or combination of Partnership Interests is declared, the General Partner shall select a Record Date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective and shall send notice thereof at least 20 days prior

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

49



 

to such Record Date to each Record Holder as of a date not less than 10 days prior to the date of such notice (or such shorter periods as required by applicable law).  The General Partner also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number of Partnership Interests to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination.  The General Partner shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

 

(c)                                   If a Pro Rata distribution of Partnership Interests, or a subdivision or combination of Partnership Interests, is made as contemplated in this Section 5.8 , the number of General Partner Units constituting the Percentage Interest of the General Partner (as determined immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution, subdivision or combination) shall be appropriately adjusted as of the date of payment of such distribution, or the effective date of such subdivision or combination, to maintain such Percentage Interest of the General Partner.

 

(d)                                  Promptly following any such distribution, subdivision or combination, the Partnership may issue Certificates or uncertificated Partnership Interests to the Record Holders of Partnership Interests as of the applicable Record Date representing the new number of Partnership Interests held by such Record Holders, or the General Partner may adopt such other procedures that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to reflect such changes.  If any such combination results in a smaller total number of Partnership Interests Outstanding, the Partnership shall require, as a condition to the delivery to a Record Holder of Partnership Interests represented by Certificates, the surrender of any Certificate held by such Record Holder immediately prior to such Record Date.

 

(e)                                   The Partnership shall not issue fractional Units or fractional General Partner Units upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Units.  If a distribution, subdivision or combination of Units would result in the issuance of fractional Units and General Partner Units but for the provisions of Section 5.6(d)  and this Section 5.8(e) , each fractional Unit and General Partner Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Unit or General Partner Unit (with fractional Units or General Partner Units equal to or greater than a 0.5 Unit or General Partner Unit being rounded to the next higher Unit or General Partner Unit).

 

Section 16.09                      Fully Paid and Non-Assessable Nature of Limited Partner Interests .  All Limited Partner Interests issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this Article V shall be fully paid and non-assessable Limited Partner Interests in the Partnership, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 or 17-804 of the Delaware Act.

 

Section 16.10                      Issuance of Common Units in Connection with Reset of Incentive Distribution Rights .

Adjusted Operating Surplus for such Quarter, to make an election (the “ IDR Reset Election ”) to cause the Minimum Quarterly Distribution and the Target Distributions to be reset in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10(e)  and, in connection therewith, the holder or holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights will become entitled to receive their respective proportionate share of a number of Common Units (the “ IDR Reset Common Units ”) derived by dividing (i) the average amount of the aggregate cash distributions made by the Partnership for the two full Quarters immediately preceding the giving of the Reset Notice in respect of the Incentive Distribution Rights by (ii) the average of the cash distributions made by the Partnership in respect of each Common Unit for the two full Quarters immediately preceding the giving of the Reset Notice (the number of Common Units determined by such quotient is referred to herein as the “ Aggregate Quantity of IDR Reset Common Units ”).  If at the time of any IDR Reset Election the General Partner and its Affiliates are not the holders of a majority in interest of the Incentive Distribution Rights, then the IDR Reset Election shall be subject to the prior written concurrence of the General Partner that the conditions described in the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied.  Upon the issuance of such IDR Reset Common Units, the Partnership will issue to the General Partner that number of additional General Partner Units equal to the product of (x) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Percentage Interest of the General Partner immediately prior to such issuance by (B) a percentage equal to 100% less such Percentage Interest by (y) the number of such IDR Reset Common Units, and the General Partner shall not be obligated to make any additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership in exchange for such issuance.  The making of the IDR Reset Election in the manner specified in this Section 5.10 shall cause the Minimum Quarterly Distribution and the Target Distributions to be reset in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10(e)  and, in connection therewith, the holder or holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights will become entitled to receive IDR Reset Common Units and the General Partner will become entitled to receive General Partner Units on the basis specified above, without any further approval required by the General Partner or the Unitholders other than as set forth in this Section 5.10(a) , at the time specified in Section 5.10(c)  unless the IDR Reset Election is rescinded pursuant to Section 5.10(d) .

 

(b)                                  To exercise the right specified in Section 5.10(a) , the holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights (or, if there is more than one holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights, the holders of a majority in interest of the Incentive Distribution Rights) shall deliver a written notice (the “ Reset Notice ”) to the Partnership.  Within 10 Business Days after the receipt by the Partnership of such Reset Notice, the Partnership shall deliver a written notice to the holder or holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights of the Partnership’s determination of the Aggregate Quantity of IDR Reset Common Units that each holder of Incentive Distribution Rights will be entitled to receive.

admitted for trading if any such approval is required pursuant to the rules and regulations of such National Securities Exchange.

 

(d)                                  If the principal National Securities Exchange upon which the Common Units are then traded has not approved the listing or admission for trading of the IDR Reset Common Units to be issued pursuant to this Section 5.10 on or before the 30 th  calendar day following the Partnership’s receipt of the Reset Notice and such approval is required by the rules and regulations of such National Securities Exchange, then the holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights (or, if there is more than one holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights, the holders of a majority in interest of the Incentive Distribution Rights) shall have the right to either rescind the IDR Reset Election or elect to receive other Partnership Interests having such terms as the General Partner may approve, with the approval of the Conflicts Committee, that will provide (i) the same economic value, in the aggregate, as the Aggregate Quantity of IDR Reset Common Units would have had at the time of the Partnership’s receipt of the Reset Notice, as determined by the General Partner, and (ii) for the subsequent conversion of such Partnership Interests into Common Units within not more than 12 months following the Partnership’s receipt of the Reset Notice upon the satisfaction of one or more conditions that are reasonably acceptable to the holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights (or, if there is more than one holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights, the holders of a majority in interest of the Incentive Distribution Rights).

 

(e)                                   The Minimum Quarterly Distribution and the Target Distributions shall be adjusted at the time of the issuance of IDR Reset Common Units or other Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section 5.10 such that (i) the Minimum Quarterly Distribution shall be reset to equal the average cash distribution amount per Common Unit for the two Quarters immediately prior to the Partnership’s receipt of the Reset Notice (the “ Reset MQD ”), (ii) the First Target Distribution shall be reset to equal 115% of the Reset MQD, (iii) the Second Target Distribution shall be reset to equal 125% of the Reset MQD and (iv) the Third Target Distribution shall be reset to equal 150% of the Reset MQD.

 

(f)                                    Upon the issuance of IDR Reset Common Units pursuant to Section 5.10(a) , the Capital Account maintained with respect to the Incentive Distribution Rights will (i) first, be allocated to IDR Reset Common Units in an amount equal to the product of (A) the Aggregate Quantity of IDR Reset Common Units and (B) the Per Unit Capital Amount for an Initial Common Unit, and (ii) second, as to any remaining balance in such Capital Account, be retained by the holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights.  If there is not sufficient capital associated with the Incentive Distribution Rights to allocate the full Per Unit Capital Amount for an Initial Common Unit to the IDR Reset Common Units in accordance with clause (i)  of this Section 5.10(f) , the IDR Reset Common Units shall be subject to Sections 6.1(d)(x)(A)  and (B) .

A total of [    ] Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Units shall be issued by the Partnership on the Series A Issuance Date pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Series A Purchase Agreement, and the Partnership may issue additional Series A Preferred Units in the form of Series A PIK Units from time to time in accordance with this Agreement. Each Series A Preferred Unit shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware, and (ii) the corresponding provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995.

 

(r)                                     Rights of Series A Preferred Units . The Series A Preferred Units shall have the following rights, preferences and privileges and the Series A Preferred Unitholders shall be subject to the following duties and obligations:

 

(i)                                      Distributions .

 

(A)                                Commencing with the Quarter ending on December 31, 2017 and continuing through the applicable Series A Conversion Date, subject to Section 5.11(b)(i)(D) , each Record Holder of Series A Preferred Units as of an applicable Record Date for each Quarter shall be entitled to receive, in respect of each Series A Preferred Unit held by such Record Holder, cumulative distributions in respect of such Quarter equal to the sum of (1) the Series A Distribution Amount for such Quarter and (2) any Series A Unpaid Distributions with respect to such Series A Preferred Unit (collectively, the “ Series A Quarterly Distribution ”). With respect to any Quarter (or portion thereof for which a Series A Quarterly Distribution is due) ending on or prior to [     ], 2019(5) (the “ Series A PIK Distribution Period ”), such Series A Quarterly Distribution shall be paid, as determined by the General Partner, in cash, in-kind in the form of additional Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Units (“ Series A PIK Units ”) or in a combination thereof, in an amount equal to the Series A Distribution Amount on all Outstanding Series A Preferred Units. For any Quarter ending after the Series A PIK Distribution Period, all Series A Quarterly Distributions shall be paid in cash. If, during the Series A PIK Distribution Period, the General Partner elects to pay all or any portion of a Series A Quarterly Distribution in Series A PIK Units, the number of Series A PIK Units to be issued in connection with such Series A Quarterly Distribution shall equal (x) the applicable Series A Distribution Amount (or portion thereof to be paid in Series A PIK Units) divided by (y) the Series A Issue Price; provided, however, that fractional Series A PIK Units shall not be issued to any Person (each fractional Series A PIK Unit shall be rounded to the

nearest whole Series A PIK Unit (and a 0.5 Series A PIK Unit shall be rounded to the next higher Series A PIK Unit)). Each Series A Quarterly Distribution shall be payable quarterly by no later than the earlier of 60 days after the end of the applicable Quarter and the payment date of distributions, if any, on any Series A Parity Securities and Series A Junior Securities (each such payment date, a “ Series A Distribution Payment Date ”). If the General Partner establishes an earlier Record Date for any distribution to be made by the Partnership on other Partnership Interests in respect of any Quarter, then the Record Date established pursuant to this Section 5.11(b)(i)  for a Series A Quarterly Distribution in respect of such Quarter shall be the same Record Date. For the avoidance of doubt, (aa) the Series A Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any distributions made pursuant to Section 6.4 and (bb) unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all references in this Agreement to Series A Preferred Units shall include all Series A PIK Units Outstanding as of the date of such determination.

 

(B)                                If the Partnership fails to pay in full the Series A Distribution Amount of any Series A Quarterly Distribution (in cash, Series A PIK Units or a combination thereof) when due for any Quarter (or portion thereof for which a Series A Quarterly Distribution is due) during the Series A PIK Distribution Period, then the Series A Preferred Unitholders entitled to such unpaid Series A Quarterly Distribution shall be deemed to have nonetheless received such Series A Quarterly Distribution in the form of Series A PIK Units and, accordingly, shall have all other rights under this Agreement as if such Series A PIK Units had, in fact, been issued on the applicable Series A Distribution Payment Date. If the Partnership fails to pay in full the Series A Distribution Amount of any Series A Quarterly Distribution in accordance with Section 5.11(b)(i)(A)  when due for any Quarter following the Series A PIK Distribution Period, then from and after the first date of such failure and continuing until such failure is cured by payment in full in cash of all such arrearages, (1) the amount of such unpaid cash distributions (on a per Series A Preferred Unit basis, “ Series A Unpaid Distributions ”) unless and until paid will accrue and accumulate from and including the first day of the Quarter immediately following the Quarter in respect of which the first such payment is due until all such Series A Unpaid Distributions are paid in full and (2) the Partnership shall not be permitted to, and shall not, declare or make, any distributions, redemptions or repurchases in respect of any Series A Junior Securities or Series A Parity Securities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Quarter for which the Partnership first failed to pay in full the Series A Distribution Amount of any Series A Quarterly Distribution in cash when due); provided, however, that distributions may be declared and paid on the Series A Preferred Units and the Series A Parity Securities so long as such distributions are declared and paid Pro Rata so that amounts of distributions declared per Series A Preferred Unit and Series A Parity Security shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued and accumulated distributions per Series A Preferred Unit and Series A Parity Security bear to each other.

(C)                                The aggregate Series A Distribution Amount (excluding any portion paid in Series A PIK Units) shall be paid out of cash and cash equivalents that is deemed to be Operating Surplus for the applicable Quarter. To the extent that any portion of a Series A Quarterly Distribution to be paid in cash with respect to any Quarter exceeds the amount of cash and cash equivalents that is deemed to be Operating Surplus for such Quarter, the amount of cash equal to the cash and cash equivalents that is deemed to be Operating Surplus for such Quarter will be paid to the Series A Preferred Unitholders, Pro Rata, and the balance of such Series A Quarterly Distribution shall be unpaid and shall constitute an arrearage and shall accrue and accumulate as set forth in Section 5.11(b)(i)(B) .

 

(D)                                Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.11(b)(i)  to the contrary, with respect to any Series A Preferred Unit that is converted into a Common Unit, (1) with respect to a distribution to be made to Record Holders as of the Record Date immediately preceding such conversion, the Record Holder of such Series A Preferred Unit as of such Record Date shall be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of such Series A Preferred Unit on the corresponding Series A Distribution Payment Date, but shall not be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of the Common Units into which such Series A Preferred Unit was converted on the payment date thereof, and (2) with respect to a distribution to be made to Record Holders as of any Record Date following such conversion, the Record Holder of the Series A Conversion Units into which such Series A Preferred Unit was converted as of such Record Date shall be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of such Series A Conversion Units on the payment date thereof, but shall not be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of such Series A Preferred Unit on the corresponding Series A Distribution Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Series A Preferred Unit is converted into Series A Conversion Units pursuant to the terms hereof following a Record Date but prior to the corresponding Series A Distribution Payment Date, then the Record Holder of such Series A Preferred Unit as of such Record Date shall nonetheless remain entitled to receive on the Series A Distribution Payment Date a distribution in respect of such Series A Preferred Unit pursuant to Section 5.11(b)(i)(A)  and, until such distribution is received, Section 5.11(b)(i)(B)  shall continue to apply.

 

(E)                                 Notwithstanding anything in Article VI to the contrary, the holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights shall not be entitled to receive distributions or allocations of income or gain that correspond or relate to amounts distributed or allocated to Unitholders in respect of Series A Preferred Units.

 

(F)                                  When any Series A PIK Units are payable to a Series A Preferred Unitholder pursuant to this Section 5.11 the Partnership shall issue the Series A PIK Units to such holder in accordance with Section 5.11(b)(i)(A)  (the date of issuance of such Series A PIK Units, the “ Series A PIK Payment Date ”). On the Series A PIK Payment Date, the Partnership shall have the option to (1)

issue to such Series A Preferred Unitholder a certificate or certificates for the number of Series A PIK Units to which such Series A Preferred Unitholder shall be entitled, or (2) cause the Transfer Agent to make a notation in book entry form in the books of the Partnership, and all such Series A PIK Units shall, when so issued, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Limited Partner Interests, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 or 17-804, of the Delaware Act, and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien, claim, rights or encumbrances, other than those arising under the Delaware Act or this Agreement or created by the holders thereof.

 

(G)                                For purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts, if the Partnership issues one or more Series A PIK Units with respect to a Series A Preferred Unit, (1) the Partnership shall be treated as distributing cash with respect to such Series A Preferred Unit in an amount equal to the Series A Issue Price of the Series A PIK Unit issued in payment of the Series A Quarterly Distribution and (2) the holder of such Series A Preferred Unit shall be treated as having contributed to the Partnership in exchange for such newly issued Series A PIK Unit an amount of cash equal to the Series A Issue Price.

 

(ii)            Voting Rights .

 

(A)                                Except as provided in Section 5.11(b)(ii)(B) , the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units shall have voting rights that are identical to the voting rights of the Common Units into which such Series A Preferred Units would be converted at the then-applicable Series A Conversion Rate (regardless of whether the Series A Preferred Units are then convertible), and shall vote with the Common Units as a single class (including for purposes of Section 7.9(a)  and Section 11.1(b) ), so that the Record Holder of each Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit will be entitled to one vote for each Common Unit into which such Series A Preferred Unit would be converted at the then-applicable Series A Conversion Rate (regardless of whether the Series A Preferred Units are then convertible) on each matter with respect to which each Record Holder of a Common Unit is entitled to vote. Each reference in this Agreement to a vote of Record Holders of Common Units shall be deemed to be a reference to the Record Holders of Common Units and Series A Preferred Units, voting together as a single class during any period in which any Series A Preferred Units are Outstanding.

 

(B)                                Except as provided in Section 5.11(b)(ii)(C) , notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in addition to all other requirements imposed by Delaware law, and all other voting rights granted under this Agreement, the affirmative vote of the Record Holders of the Series A Required Voting Percentage shall be required for any amendment to this Agreement or the Certificate of Limited Partnership (including by merger or otherwise or any amendment contemplated by and made in accordance with Section 5.11(b)(iii) ) that is adverse (other than in a de minimis manner) to any of

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

56



 

the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Units. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, any amendment shall be deemed to have such an adverse impact that is not de minimis if such amendment would:

 

(1)                                  reduce the Series A Distribution Amount, change the form of payment of distributions on the Series A Preferred Units, defer the date from which distributions on the Series A Preferred Units will accrue, cancel any accrued and unpaid distributions on the Series A Preferred Units or any interest accrued thereon (including any Series A Unpaid Distributions, Series A Partial Period Distributions or Series A PIK Units), or change the seniority rights of the Series A Preferred Unitholders as to the payment of distributions in relation to the holders of any other class or series of Partnership Interests;

 

(2)                                  reduce the amount payable or change the form of payment to the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets, of the Partnership, or change the seniority of the liquidation preferences of the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units in relation to the rights of the holders of any other class or series of Partnership Interests upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Partnership; or

 

(3)                                  make the Series A Preferred Units redeemable or convertible at the option of the Partnership other than as set forth herein.

 

(C)                                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.11(b)(ii) , in no event shall the consent of the Series A Preferred Unitholders, as a separate class, be required in connection with any Series A Change of Control or Partnership Restructuring Event; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall limit the voting rights of any Series A Preferred Unitholder in connection with any vote of Record Holders of Common Units and Series A Preferred Units together as a single class that may be required.

 

(D)                                Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in addition to all other voting rights granted under this Agreement, the Partnership shall not declare or pay any distribution from Capital Surplus without the affirmative vote of the Record Holders of the Series A Required Voting Percentage.

 

(iii)                                Issuances of Series A Senior Securities and Series A Parity Securities . Other than issuances of Series A PIK Units, the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Record Holders of the Series A Required Voting Percentage, issue any (A) Series A Senior Securities (or amend the provisions of any class of Partnership Interests to make such class of Partnership Interests a class of Series A Senior Securities), (B) Series A Parity Securities (or amend the provisions of any class of

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

57



 

Partnership Interests to make such class of Partnership Interests a class of Series A Parity Securities) or (C) Series A Preferred Units; provided, however, that, without the consent of any holder of Outstanding Series A Preferred Units (but without prejudice to their rights to vote on an as-converted basis to the extent that the Common Units are entitled to vote on any such matter), the Partnership may issue additional Series A Parity Securities at any time in an amount not to exceed the greater of:

 

(1)                                  a number of Series A Parity Securities with an aggregate purchase price of $300 million;

 

(2)                                  a number of Series A Parity Securities such that, as of the date of issuance of such Series A Parity Securities, the aggregate number of all Series A Parity Securities, together with the Series A Preferred Units, in each case on an as-converted basis (or, if the Series A Parity Securities are not convertible, assuming that such Series A Parity Securities are convertible into a number of Common Units equal to (aa) the aggregate purchase price of such Series A Parity Securities, divided by (bb) the Average VWAP for the 30 Trading Day period ending on the date immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Series A Parity Securities (such Common Units, the “ Series A Parity Equivalent Units ”)), equals no more than 15% of all Outstanding Common Units, (including as Outstanding for such purposes, (I) any Common Units issuable in respect of the Series A Preferred Units at the then-applicable Series A Conversion Rate (regardless of whether the Series A Preferred Units are then convertible), (II) any Common Units issuable in respect of any Series A Parity Securities (including any warrants issued in connection with Series A Parity Securities) at the initial or then-applicable conversion rate (regardless of whether such Series A Parity Securities are then convertible), as applicable, (III) any Common Units issuable in respect of any outstanding warrants or options issued by the Partnership, (IV) any Series A Parity Equivalent Units and (V) any Common Units that would otherwise be excluded by operation of the definition of the term “Outstanding”); and

 

(3)                                  if the number of Series A Preferred Units then Outstanding has an aggregate Series A Issue Price of less than $100 million, such number of Series A Parity Securities as determined by the General Partner.

 

Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, subject to Section 5.11(b)(v)(E) , the Partnership may, without any vote of the holders of Outstanding Series A Preferred Units (but without prejudice to their rights to vote on an as-converted basis to the extent that the Common Units are entitled to vote on any such matter), create (by reclassification or otherwise) and issue Series A Junior Securities in an unlimited amount.

(v)                                  Conversion .

 

(A)                                At the Option of the Series A Preferred Unitholders . Beginning with the earlier of (1) [   ](6), 2019 and (2) immediately prior to the liquidation of the Partnership under Section 12.4 , the Series A Preferred Units owned by any Series A Preferred Unitholder shall be convertible, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time upon the request of such Series A Preferred Unitholder, but not more than once per Quarter by such Series A Preferred Unitholder (inclusive of any conversion by such Series A Preferred Unitholder’s Affiliates, with each Series A Preferred Unitholder and its Affiliates being entitled to a single conversion right per Quarter), into a number of Common Units determined by multiplying the number of Series A Preferred Units to be converted by (aa) in the case of clause (1)  above, the Series A Conversion Rate at such time and (bb) in the case of clause (2)  above, the Series A COC Conversion Rate; provided, however , that the Partnership shall not be obligated to honor any such conversion request unless such conversion will involve an aggregate number of Series A Preferred Units with an underlying value of Common Units equal to or greater than $50 million (taking into account and including any concurrent conversion requests by any Affiliates of such Series A Preferred Unitholder) based on the Series A Issue Price (or a lesser underlying value if such conversion will result in the conversion of all of the Series A Preferred Units held by such Series A Preferred Unitholder and its Affiliates). Immediately upon the issuance of Series A Conversion Units as a result of any conversion of Series A Preferred Units hereunder, subject to Section 5.11(b)(i)(D) , all rights of the Series A Converting Unitholder with respect to such Series A Preferred Units shall cease, including any further accrual of distributions, and such Series A Converting Unitholder thereafter shall be treated for all purposes as the owner of Common Units. Fractional Common Units shall not be issued to any Person pursuant to this Section 5.11(b)(v)(A)  (each fractional Common Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Common Unit (and a 0.5 Common Unit shall be rounded to the next higher Common Unit)).

 

(B)                                At the Option of the Partnership . At any time after [   ](7), 2020, the Partnership shall have the option, at any time and from time to time, but not more than once per Quarter, to convert all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Units then Outstanding into a number of Common Units determined by multiplying the number of Series A Preferred Units to be converted by the Series A Mandatory Conversion Rate at such time. Fractional Common Units shall not be issued to any Person pursuant to this Section 5.11(b)(v)(B)  (each fractional Common Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Common Unit (and a 0.5 Common Unit shall be rounded to the next higher Common Unit)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order for the Partnership to exercise such option:

(1)                                  the Common Units must be listed or admitted for trading on a National Securities Exchange;

 

(2)                                  the Average VWAP for the 20 Trading Day period immediately preceding the Series A Mandatory Conversion Notice Date must be greater than $[73.2645](8);

 

(3)                                  the average daily trading volume of the Common Units on the principal National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then listed or admitted to trading must exceed 100,000 Common Units (as such amount may be adjusted to reflect any Unit split, combination or similar event) for the 20 Trading Day period immediately preceding the Series A Mandatory Conversion Notice Date; and

 

(4)                                  the Partnership must have an effective registration statement on file with the Commission covering resales of the underlying Common Units to be received by the applicable Series A Preferred Unitholders upon any such conversion;

 

provided, however , that the Partnership shall not be entitled to exercise such option unless such conversion will involve an aggregate number of Series A Preferred Units with an underlying value of Common Units equal to or greater than $50 million based on the Series A Issue Price (or a lesser underlying value if such conversion will result in the conversion of all of the then Outstanding Series A Preferred Units).  Any such conversion shall be allocated among the Series A Preferred Unitholders on a Pro Rata basis or on such other basis as may be agreed upon by all Series A Preferred Unitholders.

 

Nothing in this Section 5.11(b)(v)(B) , however, is intended to limit or prevent a Series A Preferred Unitholder from electing to convert its Series A Preferred Units into Common Units in accordance with Section 5.11(b)(v)(A) , and the Partnership shall not have any right to convert Series A Preferred Units from a Series A Preferred Unitholder to the extent such Series A Preferred Unitholder delivers a valid Series A Conversion Notice covering all of the Series A Preferred Units that are the subject of the applicable Series A Mandatory Conversion Notice to the Partnership prior to the Series A Conversion Date in respect of the applicable Series A Mandatory Conversion Notice.

The applicable Series A Conversion Units shall be issued in the name of the Record Holder of such Series A Preferred Units.

 

(D)                                Timing . If a Series A Conversion Notice is delivered by a Series A Preferred Unitholder to the Partnership or a Series A Mandatory Conversion Notice is delivered by the Partnership to a Series A Preferred Unitholder, each in accordance with Section 5.11(b)(v)(C) , the Partnership shall issue the applicable Series A Conversion Units no later than five Business Days after the Series A Conversion Notice Date or 10 Business Days after the Series A Mandatory Conversion Notice Date, as the case may be, occurs (any date of issuance of Common Units upon conversion of Series A Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 5.11(b)(v)  or Section 5.11(b)(vi) , a “ Series A Conversion Date ”); provided , that the Series A Conversion Date in the case of a Series A Mandatory Conversion shall in no event be prior to the tenth Business Day following the Series A Mandatory Conversion Notice Date.

The parties agree to coordinate with the Transfer Agent to accomplish this objective. Subject to Section 5.11(b)(i)(D) , upon issuance of Series A Conversion Units to the Series A Converting Unitholder (or its designated recipient(s)), all rights of such Series A Converting Unitholder with respect to the converted Series A Preferred Units shall cease, and such Series A Converting Unitholder shall be treated for all purposes as the Record Holder of such Series A Conversion Units.

 

(E)                                 Distributions, Combinations, Subdivisions and Reclassifications by the Partnership . If, after the Series A Issuance Date, the

An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.11(b)(v)(E)  shall become effective immediately after the Record Date, in the case of a distribution, and shall become effective immediately after the applicable effective date, in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving Person) or split. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event described above shall occur.

 

(F)                                  No Adjustments for Certain Items . Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 5.11(b)(v) , no adjustment shall be made to the Series A Conversion Rate or the Series A Issue Price pursuant to Section 5.11(b)(v)(E)  as a result of any of the following:

 

(1)                                  any cash distributions made to holders of the Common Units (unless made in breach of Section 5.11(b)(i)(B) );

(B)                                Subject to Section 5.11(b)(v)(B) , at least 10 Business Days prior to consummating a Series A Change of Control (other than a Series A Cash Change of Control), the Partnership shall provide written notice thereof to the Series A Preferred Unitholders. Subject to Section 5.11(b)(v)(B) , if a Series A Change of Control (other than a Series A Cash Change of Control) occurs, then each Series A Preferred Unitholder, with respect to all but not less than all of its Series A Preferred Units, by notice given to the Partnership within 10 Business Days of the date the Partnership provides written notice of the execution of definitive agreements that provide for such Series A Change of Control, shall be entitled to elect one of the following (with the understanding that any Series A Preferred Unitholder who fails to timely provide notice of its election to the Partnership shall be deemed to have elected the option set forth in clause (1)  below):

written notice (each, a “ Series A Redemption Notice ”) to the Series A Preferred Unitholders, to redeem all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Units then Outstanding for a redemption price in cash equal to the Series A Redemption Price per Series A Preferred Unit plus all Series A Unpaid Distributions with respect thereto plus Series A Partial Period Distributions with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be entitled to exercise such option unless (1) all of the conditions set forth in clauses (1)  through (4)  of Section 5.11(b)(v)(B)  have been satisfied and (2) such redemption will involve an aggregate number of Series A Preferred Units with an underlying value of Common Units equal to or greater than $50 million based on the Series A Issue Price, or a lesser underlying value if such redemption will result in the redemption of all of the then Outstanding Series A Preferred Units. If fewer than all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units are to be redeemed, any such redemption shall be allocated among the Series A Preferred Unitholders on a Pro Rata basis (as nearly as practicable without creating fractional Units) or on such other basis as may be agreed upon by the Series A Preferred Unitholders.

 

(B)                                Each date fixed for redemption pursuant to this Section 5.11(b)(viii)  is referred to as a “ Series A Redemption Date .” Notice of any redemption will be irrevocable and will be provided by the Partnership not less than 10 Business Days prior to the Series A Redemption Date, addressed to the respective Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the books and records of the Partnership. No failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Series A Preferred Units except as to any Series A Preferred Unitholder to whom the Partnership has failed to give notice or except as to any Series A Preferred Unitholder to whom notice was defective. In addition to any information required by applicable law, such notice shall state: (1) the Series A Redemption Date; (2) the Series A Redemption Price; and (3) whether all or less than all the outstanding Series A Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the aggregate amount of Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed and, if less than all Series A Preferred Units held by such Series A Preferred Unitholder are to be redeemed, the percentage of Series A Preferred Units that will be redeemed. The notice may also require delivery of Certificates representing the Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed, if any, together with certification as to the ownership of such Series A Preferred Units.  Upon the redemption of Series A Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 5.11(b)(viii) , all rights of a Series A Preferred Unitholder with respect to the redeemed Series A Preferred Units shall cease, and such redeemed Series A Preferred Units shall cease to be Outstanding for all purposes of this Agreement.

Preferred Unitholder in writing to the General Partner as requested in the notice of redemption.

 

(D)                                Except as provided in Section 5.11(b)(vi)(B)(4) , no Series A Preferred Unitholder shall have the right to require the Partnership to redeem any Series A Preferred Units.

(D)                                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.1(c) , (1) Unitholders holding Series A Preferred Units shall not be allocated Net Termination Loss in accordance with Section 6.1(c)(ii)  or Section 6.1(c)(iii)  and (2) following any allocation made pursuant to Section 6.1(c)(ii)(B)  or Section 6.1(c)(iii)(A) , respectively, and prior to any allocation made pursuant to Section 6.1(c)(ii)(C)  or Section 6.1(c)(iii)(B) , respectively, any remaining Net Termination Loss shall be allocated to all Unitholders holding Series A Preferred Units, Pro Rata, until the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit has been reduced to zero.

At least 10 days prior to any liquidation or winding up of the Partnership under Section 12.4 , the Partnership shall provide to the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units an estimate of the Capital Account in respect of each Series A Preferred Unit after giving effect to the allocations described in this Section 5.11(b)(x) . If in the year of such liquidation and winding up, any such Record Holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series A Preferred Units is less than the aggregate Series A Accrued Amount of such Series A Preferred Units, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and prior to any other allocation pursuant to this Agreement for such year and prior to any distribution pursuant to the preceding sentence, items of gross income and gain shall be allocated to all Unitholders then holding Series A Preferred Units, Pro Rata, until the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit is equal to the Series A Accrued Amount (and no other allocation pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation). If in the year of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up any such Record Holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series A Preferred Units is less than the aggregate Series A Accrued Amount of such Series A Preferred Units after the application of the preceding sentence, then to the extent permitted by applicable law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, items of gross income and gain for any preceding taxable period(s) with respect to which IRS Form 1065 Schedules K-1 have not been filed by the Partnership

After such allocations have been made to the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, any remaining Net Termination Gain or Net Termination Loss shall be allocated to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1(c)  or Section 6.1(d) , as the case may be. At the time of the dissolution of the Partnership, subject to Section 17-804 of the Delaware Act, the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units shall become entitled to receive any Series A Unpaid Distributions in respect of the Series A Preferred Units as of the date of such dissolution, and shall have the status of, and shall be entitled to all remedies available to, a creditor of the Partnership with respect to such Series A Unpaid Distributions, and such entitlement of the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units to such Series A Unpaid Distributions shall have priority over any entitlement of any other Partners or Assignees with respect to any distributions by the Partnership to such other Partners or Assignees; provided, however, that the General Partner, as such, will have no liability for any obligations with respect to such  Series A Unpaid Distributions to any Record Holder(s) of Series A Preferred Units.

 

(xi)                               Fully Paid and Non-Assessable. Any Series A Conversion Unit(s) delivered pursuant to this Section 5.11 shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware Act), and shall be free and clear of any liens, claims, rights or encumbrances other than those arising under the Delaware Act or this Agreement or created by the holders thereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall distribute to the Record Holders of Series A Preferred Units copies of all notices, materials, annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements, information statements and any other documents distributed generally to the Record Holders of Common Units of the Partnership, at such times and by such method as such documents are distributed to such Record Holders of such Common Units.

Distribution occurs, times (bb) the total amount allocated in clause (1)  above with respect to such Excess Distribution.

(iv)          Qualified Income Offset .  In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership gross income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(iv)  shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in this Section 6.1 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.1(d)(iv)  were not in this Agreement.

 

(v)           Gross Income Allocation .  In the event any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any taxable period in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Partner is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (B) the amount such Partner is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(v)  shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in this Section 6.1 have been tentatively made as if Section 6.1(d)(iv)  and this Section 6.1(d)(v)  were not in this Agreement.

 

(vi)          Nonrecourse Deductions .  Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Partners Pro Rata.  If the General Partner determines that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions should be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is authorized, upon notice to the other Partners, to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio that satisfies such requirements.

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

79



 

(vii)         Partner Nonrecourse Deductions .  Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated 100% to the Partner that bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).  If more than one Partner bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt, the Partner Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Partners in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss.

 

(viii)        Nonrecourse Liabilities .  For purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Partners agree that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the sum of (A) the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain and (B) the total amount of Nonrecourse Built-in Gain shall be allocated in accordance with and under any method approved by the applicable regulations under Section 752 of the Code as chosen by the General Partner.

 

(ix)          Code Section 754 Adjustments .  To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

 

(x)           Economic Uniformity; Changes in Law .

 

(a)           With respect to an event triggering an adjustment to the Carrying Value of Partnership property pursuant to Section 5.5(d)  during any taxable period of the Partnership ending upon, or after, the issuance of IDR Reset Common Units pursuant to Section 5.10 , any Unrealized Gains and Unrealized Losses shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner that to the nearest extent possible results in the Capital Accounts maintained with respect to such IDR Reset Common Units issued pursuant to Section 5.10 equaling the product of (1) the Aggregate Quantity of IDR Reset Common Units and (2) the Per Unit Capital Amount for an Initial Common Unit.

 

(b)           With respect to any taxable period during which an IDR Reset Common Unit is transferred to any Person who is not an Affiliate of the transferor, all or a portion of the remaining items of Partnership gross income or gain for such taxable period shall be allocated 100% to the transferor Partner of such transferred IDR Reset Common Unit until such transferor Partner has been allocated an amount of gross income or gain that increases the Capital Account maintained with respect to such transferred IDR Reset Common Unit to an amount equal to the Per Unit Capital Amount for an Initial Common Unit.

 

(c)           For the proper administration of the Partnership and for the preservation of uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof), the General Partner shall (1) adopt such conventions as it deems appropriate in

determining the amount of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions; (2) make special allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss; and (3) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (x) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) or Section 704(c) of the Code or (y) otherwise to preserve or achieve uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof).  The General Partner may adopt such conventions, make such allocations and make such amendments to this Agreement as provided in this Section 6.1(d)(x)(C)  only if such conventions, allocations or amendments would not have a material adverse effect on the Partners, the holders of any class or classes of Limited Partner Interests issued and Outstanding or the Partnership, and if such allocations are consistent with the principles of Section 704 of the Code.

 

(xi)          Curative Allocation .

 

(a)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1 , other than the Required Allocations, the Required Allocations shall be taken into account in making the Agreed Allocations so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of items of gross income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to each Partner pursuant to the Required Allocations and the Agreed Allocations, together, shall be equal to the net amount of such items that would have been allocated to each such Partner under the Agreed Allocations had the Required Allocations and the related Curative Allocation not otherwise been provided in this Section 6.1 .  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Required Allocations relating to (1) Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain and (2) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain.  In exercising its discretion under this Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) , the General Partner may take into account future Required Allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Required Allocations previously made.  Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A)  shall only be made with respect to Required Allocations to the extent the General Partner determines that such allocations will otherwise be inconsistent with the economic agreement among the Partners.  Further, allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A)  shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to clauses (1)  and (2)  hereof to the extent the General Partner determines that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent Required Allocations.

 

(b)           The General Partner shall, with respect to each taxable period, (1) apply the provisions of Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A)  in whatever order is most likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Required Allocations, and (2) divide all allocations pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A)  among the Partners in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions.

 

(xii)         Equalization of Capital Accounts With Respect to Privately Placed Units. Net Termination Gain or Net Termination Loss deemed recognized as a result of an event that results in adjustment of the Carrying Value of each Partnership property pursuant to Section

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

81



 

5.5(d)  shall first be allocated to the (A) Unitholders holding Privately Placed Units or (B) Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, as applicable, to the extent necessary to cause the Capital Account in respect of each Privately Placed Unit then Outstanding to equal the Capital Account in respect of each Common Unit (other than Privately Placed Units) then Outstanding.

 

(xiii)        Corrective and Other Allocations .  In the event of any allocation of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items or any Book-Down Event or any recognition of a Net Termination Loss, the following rules shall apply:

 

(a)           Except as provided in Section 6.1(d)(xiii)(B) , in the case of any allocation of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items (other than an allocation of Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss under Section 5.5(d)  hereof), the General Partner shall allocate such Additional Book Basis Derivative Items to (1) the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights and the General Partner to the same extent that the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss giving rise to such Additional Book Basis Derivative Items was allocated to them pursuant to Section 5.5(d)  and (2) all Unitholders, Pro Rata, to the extent that the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss giving rise to such Additional Book Basis Derivative Items was allocated to any Unitholders pursuant to Section 5.5(d) .

 

(b)           In the case of any allocation of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items (other than an allocation of Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss under Section 5.5(d)  hereof or an allocation of Net Termination Gain or Net Termination Loss pursuant to Section 6.1(c)  hereof) as a result of a sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset that is an Adjusted Property (“ Disposed of Adjusted Property ”), the General Partner shall allocate (1) additional items of gross income and gain (aa) away from the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights and (bb) to the Unitholders, or (2) additional items of deduction and loss (aa) away from the Unitholders and (bb) to the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights, to the extent that the Additional Book Basis Derivative Items allocated to the Unitholders exceed their Share of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items with respect to such Disposed of Adjusted Property.  Any allocation made pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xiii)(B)  shall be made after all of the other Agreed Allocations have been made as if this Section 6.1(d)(xiii)  were not in this Agreement and, to the extent necessary, shall require the reallocation of items that have been allocated pursuant to such other Agreed Allocations.

 

(c)           In the case of any negative adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the Partners resulting from a Book-Down Event or from the recognition of a Net Termination Loss, such negative adjustment (1) shall first be allocated, to the extent of the Aggregate Remaining Net Positive Adjustments, in such a manner, as determined by the General Partner, that to the extent possible the aggregate Capital Accounts of the Partners will equal the amount that would have been the Capital Account balances of the Partners if no prior Book-Up Events had occurred, and (2) any negative adjustment in excess of the Aggregate Remaining Net Positive Adjustments shall be allocated pursuant to Section 6.1(c)  hereof.

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

82



 

(d)           For purposes of this Section 6.1(d)(xiii) , the Unitholders shall be treated as being allocated Additional Book Basis Derivative Items to the extent that such Additional Book Basis Derivative Items have reduced the amount of income that would otherwise have been allocated to the Unitholders under this Agreement.  In making the allocations required under this Section 6.1(d)(xiii) , the General Partner may apply whatever conventions or other methodology it determines will satisfy the purpose of this Section 6.1(d)(xiii) .  Without limiting the foregoing, if an Adjusted Property is contributed by the Partnership to another entity classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes (the “ lower tier partnership ”), the General Partner may make allocations similar to those described in Sections 6.1(d)(xiii)(A)  through (C)  to the extent the General Partner determines such allocations are necessary to account for the Partnership’s allocable share of income, gain, loss and deduction of the lower tier partnership that relate to the contributed Adjusted Property in a manner that is consistent with the purpose of this Section 6.1(d)(xiii) .

 

Section 17.02        Allocations for Tax Purposes .

 

(a)           Except as otherwise provided herein, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 .

 

(b)           In an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners in the manner provided under Section 704(c) of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code, as determined to be appropriate by the General Partner (taking into account the General Partner’s discretion under Section 6.1(d)(x)(C) ); provided, however, that the General Partner shall apply the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d) in all events.

 

(c)           The General Partner may determine to depreciate or amortize the portion of an adjustment under Section 743(b) of the Code attributable to unrealized appreciation in any Adjusted Property (to the extent of the unamortized Book-Tax Disparity) using a predetermined rate derived from the depreciation or amortization method and useful life applied to the unamortized Book-Tax Disparity of such property, despite any inconsistency of such approach with Treasury Regulation Section 1.167(c)-l(a)(6) or any successor regulations thereto.  If the General Partner determines that such reporting position cannot reasonably be taken, the General Partner may adopt depreciation and amortization conventions under which all purchasers acquiring Limited Partner Interests in the same month would receive depreciation and amortization deductions, based upon the same applicable rate as if they had purchased a direct interest in the Partnership’s property.  If the General Partner chooses not to utilize such aggregate method, the General Partner may use any other depreciation and amortization conventions to preserve the uniformity of the intrinsic tax characteristics of any Limited Partner Interests, so long as such conventions would not have a material adverse effect on the Limited Partners or the Record Holders of any class or classes of Limited Partner Interests.

83



 

(d)           In accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1245-1(e) and 1.1250-1(f), any gain allocated to the Partners upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset shall, to the extent possible, after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to this Section 6.2 , be characterized as Recapture Income in the same proportions and to the same extent as such Partners (or their predecessors in interest) have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income.

 

(e)           All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Partners in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code that may be made by the Partnership; provided, however , that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted (in the manner determined by the General Partner) to take into account those adjustments permitted or required by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code.

 

(f)            Each item of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction, for federal income tax purposes, shall be determined for each taxable period and prorated on a monthly basis and shall be allocated to the Partners as of the opening of the National Securities Exchange on which the Partnership Interests are listed or admitted to trading on the first Business Day of each month; provided, however, that such items for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the month in which the last Option Closing Date or the expiration of the Over-Allotment Option occurs shall be allocated to the Partners as of the opening of the National Securities Exchange on which the Partnership Interests are listed or admitted to trading on the first Business Day of the next succeeding month; provided further, that gain or loss on a sale or other disposition of any assets of the Partnership or any other extraordinary item of income or loss realized and recognized other than in the ordinary course of business, as determined by the General Partner, shall be allocated to the Partners as of the opening of the National Securities Exchange on which the Partnership Interests are listed or admitted to trading on the first Business Day of the month in which such gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes.  The General Partner may revise, alter or otherwise modify such methods of allocation to the extent permitted or required by Section 706 of the Code and the regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder.

 

(g)           Allocations that would otherwise be made to a Limited Partner under the provisions of this Article VI shall instead be made to the beneficial owner of Limited Partner Interests held by a nominee, agent or representative in any case in which such nominee, agent or representative has furnished the identity of such owner to the Partnership in accordance with Section 6031(c) of the Code or any other method determined by the General Partner.

 

(h)           If, as a result of the conversion of a Series A Preferred Unit into Common Units and the adjustments pursuant to Section 5.5(d)(iii), a Capital Account reallocation is required consistent with the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), the General Partner shall make corrective allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x).

(d)           Each distribution in respect of a Partnership Interest shall be paid by the Partnership, directly or through the Transfer Agent or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Partnership Interest as of the Record Date set for such distribution.  Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Partnership’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise

 

(e)           Notwithstanding Section 6.3(b) , but subject to Sections 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware Act, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to make special distributions of cash or cash equivalents in connection with contributions of assets by Partners or by Persons who shall become Partners by virtue of such contribution.

(a)           The Minimum Quarterly Distribution and Target Distributions shall be proportionately adjusted in the event of any distribution, combination or subdivision (whether effected by a distribution payable in Units or otherwise) of Units or other Partnership Interests in accordance with Section 5.8 .  In the event of a distribution of Available Cash that is deemed to be from Capital Surplus, the then applicable Minimum Quarterly Distribution and Target Distributions shall be adjusted proportionately downward to equal the product obtained by multiplying the otherwise applicable Minimum Quarterly Distribution, First Target Distribution, Second Target Distribution and Third Target Distribution, as the case may be, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Unrecovered Initial Unit Price of the Common Units immediately after giving effect to such distribution and the denominator of which is the Unrecovered Initial Unit Price of the Common Units immediately prior to giving effect to such distribution.

 

(b)           The Minimum Quarterly Distribution, First Target Distribution, Second Target Distribution and Third Target Distribution shall also be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.10 and Section 6.9 .

 

Section 17.07        Special Provisions Relating to the Holders of Incentive Distribution Rights .

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights (1) shall (x) possess the rights and obligations provided in this Agreement with respect to a Limited Partner pursuant to Article III and Article VII and (y) have a Capital Account as a Partner pursuant to Section 5.5 and all other provisions related thereto and (2) shall not (x) be entitled to vote on any matters requiring the approval or vote of the holders of Outstanding Units, except as provided by law, (y) be entitled to any distributions other than as provided in Sections 6.4(c) , (d)  and (e) , and Section 12.4 or (z) be allocated items of income, gain, loss or deduction other than as specified in this Article VI ; provided, however , that for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not preclude the Partnership from making any other payments or distributions in connection with other actions permitted by this Agreement.

 

(b)           A Unitholder shall not be permitted to transfer an IDR Reset Common Unit (other than a transfer to an Affiliate) if the remaining balance in the transferring Unitholder’s Capital Account with respect to the retained IDR Reset Common Units would be negative after giving effect to the allocation under Section 5.5(c)(ii) .

 

(c)           A holder of an IDR Reset Common Unit that was issued in connection with an IDR Reset Election pursuant to Section 5.10 shall not be issued a Common Unit Certificate pursuant to Section 4.1 (if the Common Units are evidenced by Certificates) or evidence of the issuance of uncertificated Common Units, and shall not be permitted to transfer

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

87



 

such Common Unit to a Person that is not an Affiliate of such holder, until such time as the General Partner determines, based on advice of counsel, that each such IDR Reset Common Unit should have, as a substantive matter, like intrinsic economic and federal income tax characteristics, in all material respects, to the intrinsic economic and federal income tax characteristics of an Initial Common Unit. In connection with the condition imposed by this Section 6.7(c) , the General Partner may take whatever steps are required to provide economic uniformity to such IDR Reset Common Units in preparation for a transfer of such IDR Reset Common Units, including the application of Section 5.5(c)(ii) , Section 6.1(d)(x)(A)  or Section 6.1(d)(x)(B) ; provided, however , that no such steps may be taken that would have a material adverse effect on the Unitholders holding Common Units or the Series A Preferred Unitholders.

 

Section 17.08        Special Provisions Relating to Series A Preferred Units.

 

(a)           Subject to any applicable transfer restrictions in Section 4.8 or Section 5.11(b)(vii) , the holder of a Series A Preferred Unit or a Series A Conversion Unit shall provide notice to the Partnership of the transfer of any such Series A Preferred Unit or Series A Conversion Unit, as applicable, by the earlier of (i) 30 days following such transfer and (ii) the last Business Day of the calendar year during which such transfer occurred, unless, with respect to a transfer of a Series A Conversion Unit, by virtue of the application of Section 5.5(d)(iii) , the Partnership has previously determined, based on the advice of counsel, that the transferred Series A Conversion Unit should have, as a substantive matter, like intrinsic economic and federal income tax characteristics of an Initial Common Unit. In connection with the condition imposed by this Section 6.8 , the Partnership shall take whatever steps are required to provide economic uniformity to the Series A Conversion Unit in preparation for a transfer of such Unit; provided, however , that no such steps may be taken that would have a material adverse effect on the Unitholders holding Common Units (for this purpose the allocations of income, gain, loss and deductions, and the making of any guaranteed payments or any reallocation of Capital Account balances, among the Partners in accordance with Section 5.5(d)(iii)  and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(4) with respect to Series A Preferred Units or Series A Conversion Units will be deemed not to have a material adverse effect on the Unitholders holding Common Units).

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the holders of the Series A Preferred Units (i) shall (A) possess the rights and obligations provided in this Agreement with respect to a Limited Partner pursuant to Article III and Article VII and (B) have a Capital Account as a Partner pursuant to Section 5.5 and all other provisions related thereto and (ii) shall not (A) be entitled to vote on any matters requiring the approval or vote of the holders of Outstanding Units, except as provided in Section 5.11 or (B) be entitled to any distributions other than as provided in Section 5.11 and Article VI .

 

Section 17.09        Entity-Level Taxation .  If legislation is enacted or the official interpretation of existing legislation is modified by a governmental authority, which, after giving effect to such enactment or modification, results in a Group Member becoming subject to federal, state or local or non-U.S. income or withholding taxes in excess of the amount of such taxes due from the Group Member prior to such enactment or modification (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any increase in the rate of such taxation applicable to the Group Member),

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

88



 

then the General Partner may, at its option, reduce the Minimum Quarterly Distribution and the Target Distributions by the amount of income or withholding taxes that are payable by reason of any such new legislation or interpretation (the “ Incremental Income Taxes ”), or any portion thereof selected by the General Partner, in the manner provided in this Section 6.9 .  If the General Partner elects to reduce the Minimum Quarterly Distribution and the Target Distributions for any Quarter with respect to all or a portion of any Incremental Income Taxes, the General Partner shall estimate for such Quarter the Partnership Group’s aggregate liability (the “ Estimated Incremental Quarterly Tax Amount ”) for all (or the relevant portion of) such Incremental Income Taxes; provided that any difference between such estimate and the actual liability for Incremental Income Taxes (or the relevant portion thereof) for such Quarter may, to the extent determined by the General Partner, be taken into account in determining the Estimated Incremental Quarterly Tax Amount with respect to each Quarter in which any such difference can be determined.  For each such Quarter, the Minimum Quarterly Distribution, First Target Distribution, Second Target Distribution and Third Target Distribution shall be the product obtained by multiplying (a) the amounts therefor that are set out herein prior to the application of this Section 6.9 times (b) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) Available Cash with respect to such Quarter by (ii) the sum of Available Cash with respect to such Quarter and the Estimated Incremental Quarterly Tax Amount for such Quarter, as determined by the General Partner.  For purposes of the foregoing, Available Cash with respect to a Quarter will be deemed reduced by the Estimated Incremental Quarterly Tax Amount for that Quarter.

(c)           The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the holders of Outstanding Limited Partner Interests, as a matter of law, in equity or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity (including any capacity under the IPO Underwriting Agreement), and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.

 

(d)           The Partnership may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the General Partner or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the General Partner, its Affiliates and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Partnership, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(e)           For purposes of this Section 7.7 , the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 7.7(a) ; and action taken or omitted by it with respect to any employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the best interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is in the best interests of the Partnership.

(g)           An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

 

(h)           The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

 

(i)            No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Partnership, nor the obligations of the Partnership to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

 

Section 18.08        Liability of Indemnitees .

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership, the Limited Partners, or any other Persons who are bound by this Agreement for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter in question, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in intentional fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

(b)           The General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents, and the General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the General Partner in good faith.

 

(c)           To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnitee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or to the Partners, the General Partner and any other Indemnitee acting in connection with the Partnership’s business or affairs shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner or to any other Persons who are bound by this Agreement for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(d)           Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the Indemnitees under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 18.09        Resolution of Conflicts of Interest; Standards of Conduct and Modification of Duties .

 

(a)           Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Group Member Agreement, whenever a potential conflict of interest exists or arises between the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Partnership, any Group Member or any Partner, on the other, any resolution or course of action by the General Partner or its Affiliates in respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Partners, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any Group Member Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein or therein, or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity, if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved by Special Approval, (ii) approved by a Unit Majority (excluding Common Units owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates), (iii) on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iv) fair and reasonable to the Partnership, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership).  The General Partner shall be authorized but not required in connection with its resolution of such conflict of interest to seek Special Approval or Unitholder approval of such resolution, and the General Partner may also adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval or Unitholder approval.  Whenever the General Partner makes a determination to refer or not refer any potential conflict of interest to the Conflicts Committee for Special Approval or to seek or not to seek Unitholder approval, then the General Partner shall be entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to make such determination free of any duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, and the General Partner shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard or duty imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity, and the General Partner in making such determination shall be permitted to do so at its option.  If Special Approval is sought, then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the Conflicts Committee acted in good faith, and if the Board of Directors determines that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (iii)  or (iv)  above or that a director satisfies the eligibility requirements to be a member of the Conflicts Committee, then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the Board of Directors acted in good faith.  In any proceeding brought by any Limited Partner or by or on behalf of such Limited Partner or any other Limited Partner or the Partnership challenging any action by the Conflicts Committee with respect to any matter referred to the Conflicts Committee for Special Approval by the General Partner, any determination by the Board of Directors that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (iii)  or (iv)  above or any determination by the Board of Directors that a director satisfies the eligibility requirements to be a member of the Conflicts Committee, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming the presumption that the Conflicts Committee or the Board of Directors, as applicable, acted in good faith.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or equity, the existence of the conflicts of interest described in the IPO Registration Statement are hereby approved by all Partners and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any such duty.

(b)           Whenever the General Partner or the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof (including the Conflicts Committee), makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any Affiliate of the General Partner causes the General Partner to do so, in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership as opposed to in its individual capacity, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then, unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement, the General Partner, the Board of Directors or such committee or such Affiliates causing the General Partner to do so, shall make such determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different duties or standards (including fiduciary duties or standards) imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity.  A determination or other action or inaction will conclusively be deemed to be in “good faith” for all purposes of this Agreement if the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action subjectively believe that the determination or other action or inaction is in the best interests of the Partnership Group.  In making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action, such Person or Persons may take into account the totality of the circumstances or the totality of the relationships between the parties involved, including other relationships or transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership.

 

(c)           Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its individual capacity as opposed to in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, are entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, and the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity, and the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action shall be permitted to do so in their sole and absolute discretion.  By way of illustration and not of limitation, whenever the phrase, “the General Partner at its option,” or some variation of that phrase, is used in this Agreement, it indicates that the General Partner is acting in its individual capacity.  For the avoidance of doubt, whenever the General Partner votes or transfers its Partnership Interests, or refrains from voting or transferring its Partnership Interests, it shall be acting in its individual capacity.

 

(d)           The General Partner’s organizational documents may provide that determinations to take or decline to take any action in its individual, rather than representative, capacity may or shall be determined by its members, if the General Partner is a limited liability company, stockholders, if the General Partner is a corporation, or the members or stockholders of the General Partner’s general partner, if the General Partner is a partnership.

(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall have no duty or obligation, express or implied, to (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any asset of the Partnership Group other than in the ordinary course of business or (ii) permit any Group Member to use any facilities or assets of the General Partner and its Affiliates, except as may be provided in contracts entered into from time to time specifically dealing with such use.  Any determination by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates to enter into such contracts shall be at its option.

 

(f)            Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or expressly required by the Delaware Act, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the General Partner or any other Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of the General Partner or such other Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall owe any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to Series A Preferred Unitholders.

 

(g)           The Unitholders hereby authorize the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership as a partner or member of a Group Member, to approve actions by the general partner or managing member of such Group Member similar to those actions permitted to be taken by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.9 .

 

Section 18.10        Other Matters Concerning the General Partner and Other Indemnitees .

 

(a)           The General Partner and any other Indemnitee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

 

(b)           The General Partner and any other Indemnitee may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the advice or opinion (including an Opinion of Counsel) of such Persons as to matters that the General Partner or such Indemnitee, respectively, reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

 

(c)           The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers, a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact or the duly authorized officers of the Partnership or any Group Member.

Section 18.11        Purchase or Sale of Partnership Interests .  The General Partner may cause the Partnership to purchase or otherwise acquire Partnership Interests or Derivative Partnership Interests.  As long as Partnership Interests are held by any Group Member, such Partnership Interests shall not be considered Outstanding for any purpose, except as otherwise provided herein.  The General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner may also purchase or otherwise acquire and sell or otherwise dispose of Partnership Interests for its own account, subject to the provisions of Articles IV and X .

 

Section 18.12        Registration Rights of the General Partner and its Affiliates .

 

(a)           Demand Registration.   Upon receipt of a Notice from any Holder at any time after the 180 th  day after the Closing Date, the Partnership shall file with the Commission as promptly as reasonably practicable a registration statement under the Securities Act (each, a “ Registration Statement ”) providing for the resale of the Registrable Securities, which may, at the option of the Holder giving such Notice, be a Registration Statement that provides for the resale of the Registrable Securities from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.  The Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the initial filing of the Registration Statement and to remain effective and available for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Selling Holders named therein until the earlier of (i) six months following such Registration Statement’s effective date and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold.  In the event one or more Holders request in a Notice to dispose of a number of Registrable Securities that such Holder or Holders reasonably anticipates will result in gross proceeds of at least $30 million in the aggregate pursuant to a Registration Statement in an Underwritten Offering, the Partnership shall retain underwriters that are reasonably acceptable to such Selling Holders in order to permit such Selling Holders to effect such disposition through an Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that the Partnership shall have the exclusive right to select the bookrunning managers.  The Partnership and such Selling Holders shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form that is reasonably acceptable to the Partnership and take all reasonable actions as are requested by the managing underwriters to facilitate the Underwritten Offering and sale of Registrable Securities therein.  No Holder may participate in the Underwritten Offering unless it agrees to sell its Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement on the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement and completes and delivers all necessary documents and information reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting agreement.  In the event that the managing underwriter of such Underwritten Offering advises the Partnership and the Holder in writing that in its opinion the inclusion of all or some Registrable Securities would adversely and materially affect the timing or success of the Underwritten Offering, the amount of Registrable Securities that each Selling Holder requested be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be reduced on a Pro Rata basis to the aggregate amount that the managing underwriter deems will not have such material and adverse effect.  Any Holder may withdraw from such Underwritten Offering by notice to the Partnership and the managing underwriter; provided such notice is delivered prior to the launch of such Underwritten Offering.

 

(b)           Piggyback Registration.   At any time after the 180 th  day after the Closing Date, if the Partnership shall propose to file a Registration Statement (other than pursuant to a

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

101



 

demand made pursuant to Section 7.12(a) ) for an offering of Partnership Interests for cash (other than an offering relating solely to an employee benefit plan, an offering relating to a transaction on Form S-4 or an offering on any registration statement that does not permit secondary sales), the Partnership shall notify all Holders of such proposal at least five Business Days before the proposed filing date.  The Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include such number of Registrable Securities held by any Holder in such Registration Statement as each Holder shall request in a Notice received by the Partnership within two Business Days of such Holder’s receipt of the notice from the Partnership.  If the Registration Statement about which the Partnership gives notice under this Section 7.12(b)  is for an Underwritten Offering, then any Holder’s ability to include its desired amount of Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement shall be conditioned on such Holder’s inclusion of all such Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering; provided that, in the event that the managing underwriter of such Underwritten Offering advises the Partnership and the Holder in writing that in its opinion the inclusion of all or some Registrable Securities would adversely and materially affect the timing or success of the Underwritten Offering, the amount of Registrable Securities that each Selling Holder requested be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be reduced on a Pro Rata basis to the aggregate amount that the managing underwriter deems will not have such material and adverse effect.  In connection with any such Underwritten Offering, the Partnership and the Selling Holders involved shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form that is reasonably acceptable to the Partnership and take all reasonable actions as are requested by the managing underwriters to facilitate the Underwritten Offering and sale of Registrable Securities therein.  No Holder may participate in the Underwritten Offering unless it agrees to sells its Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement on the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement and completes and delivers all necessary documents and information reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting agreement.  Any Holder may withdraw from such Underwritten Offering by notice to the Partnership and the managing underwriter; provided such notice is delivered prior to the launch of such Underwritten Offering.  The Partnership shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration Statement or Underwritten Offering initiated by it under this Section 7.12(b)  prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement or the pricing date of the Underwritten Offering, as applicable.

 

(c)           Sale Procedures.  In connection with its obligations under this Section 7.12 , the Partnership shall:

 

(i)            furnish to each Selling Holder (A) as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing a Registration Statement or any supplement or amendment thereto, upon request, copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and each document incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required by the rules and regulations of the Commission), and provide each such Selling Holder the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Selling Holder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein and make the corrections reasonably requested by such Selling Holder with respect to such information prior to filing a Registration Statement or supplement or amendment thereto, and (B) such number of copies of such Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as such Persons may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

102



 

Partnership will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to clause (B)  hereof that is available on the Commission’s website;

 

(ii)           if applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the managing underwriter, shall reasonably request; provided, however, that the Partnership will not be required to qualify generally to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is not then required to so qualify or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

 

(iii)          promptly notify each Selling Holder and each underwriter, at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of (A) the filing of a Registration Statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; and (B) any written comments from the Commission with respect to any Registration Statement or any document incorporated by reference therein and any written request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto;

 

(iv)          immediately notify each Selling Holder and each underwriter, at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of (A) the occurrence of any event or existence of any fact (but not a description of such event or fact) as a result of which the prospectus or prospectus supplement contained in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the prospectus contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made); (B) the issuance or threat of issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (C) the receipt by the Partnership of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction.  Following the provision of such notice, subject to Section 7.12(f) , the Partnership agrees to, as promptly as practicable, amend or supplement the prospectus or prospectus supplement or take other appropriate action so that the prospectus or prospectus supplement does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and to take such other reasonable action as is necessary to remove a stop order, suspension, threat thereof or proceedings related thereto; and

 

(v)           enter into customary agreements and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Selling Holders or the underwriters, if any, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, including the provision of comfort letters and legal opinions as are customary in such securities offerings.

103



 

(d)                                  Suspension.   Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Partnership of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 7.12(c)(iv) , shall forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus or prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by such subsection or until it is advised in writing by the Partnership that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus.

 

(e)                                   Expenses.   Except as set forth in an underwriting agreement for the applicable Underwritten Offering or as otherwise agreed between a Selling Holder and the Partnership, all costs and expenses of a Registration Statement filed or an Underwritten Offering that includes Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7.12 (other than underwriting discounts and commissions on Registrable Securities and fees and expenses of counsel and advisors to Selling Holders) shall be paid by the Partnership.

 

(f)                                    Delay Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the General Partner determines that the Partnership’s compliance with its obligations in this Section 7.12 would be detrimental to the Partnership because such registration would (x) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Partnership, (y) require premature disclosure of material information that the Partnership has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (z) render the Partnership unable to comply with requirements under applicable securities laws, then the Partnership shall have the right to postpone compliance with such obligations for a period of not more than six months; provided, however, that such right may not be exercised more than twice in any 24-month period.

 

(g)                                   Indemnification .

 

(i)                                      In addition to and not in limitation of the Partnership’s obligation under Section 7.7 , the Partnership shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder, its officers, directors and each Person who controls the Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any agent thereof (collectively, “ Indemnified Persons ”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnified Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, under the Securities Act or otherwise (hereinafter referred to in this Section 7.12(g)  as a “ claim ” and in the plural as “ claims ”) based upon, arising out of or resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus under which any Registrable Securities were registered or sold under the Securities Act, or arising out of, based upon or resulting from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person to the extent that any such claim arises out of, is based upon or results from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus,

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

final prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

 

(ii)                                   Each Selling Holder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the General Partner, the General Partner’s officers and directors and each Person who controls the Partnership or the General Partner (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any agent thereof to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in a Registration Statement, prospectus or free writing prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities held by such Selling Holder.

 

(iii)                                The provisions of this Section 7.12(g)  shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that a Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.12(g)  may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise.

 

(h)                                  Specific Performance.  Damages in the event of breach of Section 7.12 by a party hereto may be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and it is therefore agreed that each party, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, will have the right to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach, and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof, and each of the parties hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses it may have on the ground of lack of jurisdiction or competence of the court to grant such an injunction or other equitable relief.  The existence of this right will not preclude any such party from pursuing any other rights and remedies at law or in equity that such party may have.

 

Section 18.13                      Reliance by Third Parties .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner and any officer of the General Partner authorized by the General Partner to act on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any authorized contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner or any such officer as if it were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially.  Each Limited Partner hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the General Partner or any such officer in connection with any such dealing.  In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or any such officer or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the General Partner or any such officer or its representatives.  Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (a) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (b) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the

(b)                                  Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall determine whether the Partnership should make any other elections permitted by the Code.

 

Section 20.03                      Tax Controversies .  Subject to the provisions hereof, the General Partner is designated as the “tax matters partner” (as defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code) (the “ Tax Matters Partner ”) and is authorized and required to represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith.  Each Partner agrees to cooperate with the General Partner and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably

required by the General Partner to conduct such proceedings.  Each Partner agrees that notice of or updates regarding tax controversies shall be deemed conclusively to have been given or made by the Tax Matters Partner if the Partnership has either (a) filed the information for which notice is required with the Commission via its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system and such information is publicly available on such system or (b) made the information for which notice is required available on any publicly available website maintained by the Partnership, whether or not such Partner remains a Partner in the Partnership at the time such information is made publicly available.

 

With respect to tax returns filed for taxable years beginning on or after December 31, 2017, the General Partner (or its designee) will be designated as the “partnership representative” in accordance with the rules prescribed pursuant to Section 6223 of the Code (the “ Partnership Representative ”) and shall have the sole authority to act on behalf of the Partnership in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. The General Partner (or its designee) shall exercise, in its sole discretion, any and all authority of the Partnership Representative under the Code, including, without limitation, (i) binding the Partnership and its Partners with respect to tax matters and (ii) determining whether to make any available election under Section 6226 of the Code. The General Partner shall amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations implementing the partnership audit, assessment and collection rules adopted by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, including any amendments to those rules.

 

Section 20.04                      Withholding .  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to take any action that may be required to cause the Partnership and other Group Members to comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code or any other federal, state or local law including pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 and 1446 of the Code, or established under any foreign law.  To the extent that the Partnership is required or elects to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the allocation or distribution of income to any Partner (including by reason of Section 1446 of the Code), the General Partner may treat the amount withheld as a distribution of cash pursuant to Section 6.3 or Section 12.4(c)  in the amount of such withholding from such Partner.

(vi)                               (A) if the General Partner is a corporation, a certificate of dissolution or its equivalent is filed for the General Partner, or 90 days expire after the date of notice to the General Partner of revocation of its charter without a reinstatement of its charter, under the laws of its state of incorporation; (B) if the General Partner is a partnership or a limited liability company, the dissolution and commencement of winding up of the General Partner; (C) if the General Partner is acting in such capacity by virtue of being a trustee of a trust, the termination of the trust; (D) if the General Partner is a natural person, his death or adjudication of incompetency; and (E) otherwise upon the termination of the General Partner.

(b)                                  Withdrawal of the General Partner from the Partnership upon the occurrence of an Event of Withdrawal shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances:  (i) at any time during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending at 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on September 30, 2023 the General Partner voluntarily withdraws by giving at least 90 days’ advance notice of its intention to withdraw to the Limited Partners; provided, that prior to the effective date of such withdrawal, the withdrawal is approved by a Unit Majority (excluding Common Units owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates), and the General Partner delivers to the Partnership an Opinion of Counsel (“ Withdrawal Opinion of Counsel ”) that such withdrawal (following the selection of the successor General Partner) would not result in the loss of the limited liability under the Delaware Act of any Limited Partner or cause any Group Member to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed); (ii) at any time after 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on September 30, 2023 the General Partner voluntarily withdraws by giving at least 90 days’ advance notice to the Unitholders, such withdrawal to take effect on the date specified in such notice; (iii) at any time that the General Partner ceases to be the General Partner pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii)  or is removed pursuant to Section 11.2 ; or (iv) notwithstanding clause (i)  of this sentence, at any time that the General Partner voluntarily withdraws by giving at least 90 days’ advance notice of its intention to withdraw to the Limited Partners, such withdrawal to take effect on the date specified in the notice, if at the time such notice is given one Person and its Affiliates (other than the General Partner and its Affiliates) own beneficially or of record or control at least 50% of the Outstanding Units.  The withdrawal of the General Partner from the Partnership upon the occurrence of an Event of Withdrawal shall also constitute the withdrawal of the General Partner as general partner or managing member, if any, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members.  If the General Partner gives a notice of withdrawal pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i) , the holders of a Unit Majority may, prior to the effective date of such withdrawal, elect a successor General Partner.  The Person so elected as successor General Partner shall automatically become the successor general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member.  If, prior to the effective date of the General Partner’s withdrawal, a successor is not elected by the Unitholders as provided herein or the Partnership does not receive a Withdrawal Opinion of Counsel, the Partnership shall be dissolved in accordance with Section

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

Section 22.03                      Interest of Departing General Partner and Successor General Partner .

 

(a)                                  In the event of (i) withdrawal of the General Partner under circumstances where such withdrawal does not violate this Agreement or (ii) removal of the General Partner by the holders of Outstanding Units under circumstances where Cause does not exist, if the successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 , the Departing General Partner shall have the option, exercisable prior to the effective date of the withdrawal or removal of such Departing General Partner, to require its successor to purchase its General Partner Interest and its or its Affiliates’ general partner interest (or equivalent interest), if any, in the other Group Members and all of its or its Affiliates’ Incentive Distribution Rights (collectively, the “ Combined Interest ”) in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such Combined Interest, such amount to be determined and payable as of the effective date of its withdrawal or removal.  If the General Partner is removed by the Unitholders under circumstances where Cause exists or if the General Partner withdraws under circumstances where such withdrawal violates this Agreement, and if a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 (or if the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2 and the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner), such successor shall have the option, exercisable prior to the effective date of the withdrawal or removal of such Departing General Partner (or, in the event the business of the Partnership is continued, prior to the date the business of the Partnership is continued), to purchase the Combined Interest for such fair market value of such Combined Interest.  In either event, the Departing General Partner shall be entitled

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

112



 

to receive all reimbursements due such Departing General Partner pursuant to Section 7.4 , including any employee-related liabilities (including severance liabilities), incurred in connection with the termination of any employees employed by the Departing General Partner or its Affiliates (other than any Group Member) for the benefit of the Partnership or the other Group Members.

 

For purposes of this Section 11.3(a) , the fair market value of the Combined Interest shall be determined by agreement between the Departing General Partner and its successor or, failing agreement within 30 days after the effective date of such Departing General Partner’s withdrawal or removal, by an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert selected by the Departing General Partner and its successor, which, in turn, may rely on other experts, and the determination of which shall be conclusive as to such matter.  If such parties cannot agree upon one independent investment banking firm or other independent expert within 45 days after the effective date of such withdrawal or removal, then the Departing General Partner shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, the Departing General Partner’s successor shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, and such firms or experts shall mutually select a third independent investment banking firm or independent expert, which third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert shall determine the fair market value of the Combined Interest.  In making its determination, such third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert may consider the then current trading price of Units on any National Securities Exchange on which Units are then listed or admitted to trading, the value of the Partnership’s assets, the rights and obligations of the Departing General Partner, the value of the Incentive Distribution Rights and the General Partner Interest and other factors it may deem relevant.

 

(b)                                  If the Combined Interest is not purchased in the manner set forth in Section 11.3(a) , the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) shall become a Limited Partner and its Combined Interest shall be converted into Common Units pursuant to a valuation made by an investment banking firm or other independent expert selected pursuant to Section 11.3(a) , without reduction in such Partnership Interest (but subject to proportionate dilution by reason of the admission of its successor).  Any successor General Partner shall indemnify the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) as to all debts and liabilities of the Partnership arising on or after the date on which the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) becomes a Limited Partner.  For purposes of this Agreement, conversion of the Combined Interest of the Departing General Partner to Common Units will be characterized as if the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) contributed its Combined Interest to the Partnership in exchange for the newly issued Common Units.

 

(c)                                   If a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 (or if the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2 and the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner) and the option described in Section 11.3(a)  is not exercised by the party entitled to do so, the successor General Partner shall, at the effective date of its admission to the Partnership, contribute to the Partnership cash in the amount equal to the product of (x) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Percentage Interest of the General Partner Interest of the Departing General Partner by

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

113



 

(B) a percentage equal to 100% less the Percentage Interest of the General Partner Interest of the Departing General Partner and (y) the Net Agreed Value of the Partnership’s assets on such date.  In such event, such successor General Partner shall, subject to the following sentence, be entitled to its Percentage Interest of all Partnership allocations and distributions to which the Departing General Partner was entitled.  In addition, the successor General Partner shall cause this Agreement to be amended to reflect that, from and after the date of such successor General Partner’s admission, the successor General Partner’s interest in all Partnership distributions and allocations shall be its Percentage Interest.

 

Section 22.04                      Withdrawal of Limited Partners .  No Limited Partner shall have any right to withdraw from the Partnership; provided, however , that when a transferee of a Limited Partner’s Limited Partner Interest becomes a Record Holder of the Limited Partner Interest so transferred, such transferring Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interest so transferred.

 

ARTICLE XXIII.
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

 

Section 23.01                      Dissolution .  The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon the removal or withdrawal of the General Partner, if a successor General Partner is elected pursuant to Section 11.1 , Section 11.2 or Section 12.2 , to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall not be dissolved and such successor General Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership.  The Partnership shall dissolve, and (subject to Section 12.2 ) its affairs shall be wound up, upon:

 

(a)                                  an Event of Withdrawal of the General Partner as provided in Section 11.1(a)  (other than Section 11.1(a)(ii) ), unless a successor is elected and a Withdrawal Opinion of Counsel is received as provided in Section 11.1(b)  or Section 11.2 and such successor is admitted to the Partnership pursuant to Section 10.2 ;

 

(b)                                  an election to dissolve the Partnership by the General Partner that is approved by the holders of a Unit Majority;

 

(c)                                   the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Act; or

 

(d)                                  at any time there are no Limited Partners, unless the Partnership is continued without dissolution in accordance with the Delaware Act.

 

Section 23.02                      Continuation of the Business of the Partnership After Dissolution .  Upon (a) dissolution of the Partnership following an Event of Withdrawal caused by the withdrawal or removal of the General Partner as provided in Section 11.1(a)(i)  or (iii)  and the failure of the Partners to select a successor to such Departing General Partner pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 , then, to the maximum extent permitted by law, within 90 days thereafter, or (b) dissolution of the Partnership upon an event constituting an Event of Withdrawal as defined in Section 11.1(a)(iv) , (v)  or (vi) , then, to the maximum extent permitted by law, within 180 days

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

114



 

thereafter, the holders of a Unit Majority may elect to continue the business of the Partnership on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement by appointing as a successor General Partner a Person approved by the holders of a Unit Majority.  Unless such an election is made within the applicable time period as set forth above, the Partnership shall conduct only activities necessary to wind up its affairs.  If such an election is so made, then:

 

(i)                                      the Partnership shall continue without dissolution unless earlier dissolved in accordance with this Article XII ;

 

(ii)                                   if the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner, then the interest of the former General Partner shall be treated in the manner provided in Section 11.3 ; and

 

(iii)                                the successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as General Partner, effective as of the Event of Withdrawal, by agreeing in writing to be bound by this Agreement;

 

provided, however, that the right of the holders of a Unit Majority to approve a successor General Partner and to continue the business of the Partnership shall not exist and may not be exercised unless the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel that (x) the exercise of the right would not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner under the Delaware Act and (y) neither the Partnership nor any Group Member would be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise be taxable as an entity for federal income tax purposes upon the exercise of such right to continue (to the extent not already so treated or taxed).

 

Section 23.03                      Liquidator .  Upon dissolution of the Partnership, unless the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2 , the General Partner shall select one or more Persons to act as Liquidator.  The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by holders of at least a Unit Majority.  The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall agree not to resign at any time without 15 days’ prior notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal approved by holders of at least a Unit Majority.  Upon dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) shall within 30 days thereafter be approved by holders of at least a Unit Majority. The right to approve a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator approved in the manner herein provided.  Except as expressly provided in this Article XII , the Liquidator approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the General Partner under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, other than the limitation on sale set forth in Section 7.3 ) necessary or appropriate to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during the period of time required to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Partnership as provided for herein.

(a)                                  The assets may be disposed of by public or private sale or by distribution in kind to one or more Partners on such terms as the Liquidator and such Partner or Partners may agree.  If any property is distributed in kind, the Partner receiving the property shall be deemed for purposes of Section 12.4(c)  to have received cash equal to its fair market value; and contemporaneously therewith, appropriate cash distributions must be made to the other Partners.  The Liquidator may defer liquidation or distribution of the Partnership’s assets for a reasonable time if it determines that an immediate sale or distribution of all or some of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners.  The Liquidator may distribute the Partnership’s assets, in whole or in part, in kind if it determines that a sale would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners.

 

(b)                                  Liabilities of the Partnership include amounts owed to the Liquidator as compensation for serving in such capacity (subject to the terms of Section 12.3 ) and amounts to Partners otherwise than in respect of their distribution rights under Article VI .  With respect to any liability that is contingent, conditional or unmatured or is otherwise not yet due and payable, the Liquidator shall either settle such claim for such amount as it thinks appropriate or establish a reserve of cash or other assets to provide for its payment.  When paid, any unused portion of the reserve shall be distributed as additional liquidation proceeds.

 

(c)                                   All property and all cash (including cash equivalents) in excess of that required to satisfy liabilities as provided in Section 12.4(b)  and that required to satisfy liquidation preferences of the Series A Preferred Units provided for under Section 5.11(b)(x)  shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with, and to the extent of, the positive balances in their respective Capital Accounts, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments (other than those made by reason of distributions pursuant to this Section 12.4(c) ) for the taxable period of the Partnership during which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs (with such date of occurrence being determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g)), and such distribution shall be made by the end of such taxable period (or, if later, within 90 days after said date of such occurrence); provided that any  property or cash (including cash equivalents) available for distribution under this Section 12.4(c)  shall be distributed with respect to the Series A Preferred Units, Series A Parity Securities and Series A Senior Securities (up to the positive balances in the associated Capital Accounts) prior to any distribution of property or cash (including cash equivalents) with respect to the Series A Junior Securities.

 

Section 23.05                      Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership .  Upon the completion of the distribution of Partnership cash and property as provided in Section 12.4 in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership, the Certificate of Limited Partnership and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken.

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

120



 

regulation, guideline or requirement of such National Securities Exchange or U.S. federal securities laws shall govern) or (b) in the event that approvals are sought without a meeting, the date by which such Limited Partners are requested in writing by the General Partner to give such approvals.

 

Section 24.07                      Postponement and Adjournment .  Prior to the date upon which any meeting of Limited Partners is to be held, the General Partner may postpone such meeting one or more times for any reason by giving notice to each Limited Partner entitled to vote at the meeting so postponed of the place, date and hour at which such meeting would be held.  Such notice shall be given not fewer than two days before the date of such meeting and otherwise in accordance with this Article XIII .  When a meeting is postponed, a new Record Date need not be fixed unless such postponement shall be for more than 45 days.  Any meeting of Limited Partners may be adjourned by the General Partner one or more times for any reason, including the failure of a quorum to be present at the meeting with respect to any proposal or the failure of any proposal to receive sufficient votes for approval.  No Limited Partner vote shall be required for any adjournment.  A meeting of Limited Partners may be adjourned by the General Partner as to one or more proposals regardless of whether action has been taken on other matters.  When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting and a new Record Date need not be fixed, if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless such adjournment shall be for more than 45 days.  At the adjourned meeting, the Partnership may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.  If the adjournment is for more than 45 days or if a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with this Article XIII .

 

Section 24.08                      Waiver of Notice; Approval of Meeting .  The transactions of any meeting of Limited Partners, however called and noticed, and whenever held, shall be as valid as if it had occurred at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy.  Attendance of a Limited Partner at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when the Limited Partner attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to disapprove of any matters submitted for consideration or to object to the failure to submit for consideration any matters required to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if such objection is expressly made at the beginning of the meeting.

 

Section 24.09                      Quorum and Voting .  The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of the Outstanding Units of the class or classes for which a meeting has been called (including Outstanding Units deemed owned by the General Partner) shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Limited Partners of such class or classes unless any such action by the Limited Partners requires approval by holders of a greater percentage of such Units, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage.  At any meeting of the Limited Partners duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of Limited Partners holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent a majority of the Outstanding Units entitled to vote at such meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Limited Partners, unless a different percentage or class vote is required with respect to such action under the

 

[Form of Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership]

 

121



 

provisions of this Agreement, in which case the act of the Limited Partners holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent at least such different percentage or the act of the Limited Partners holding the requisite percentage of the necessary class, as applicable, shall be required.  The Limited Partners present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the exit of enough Limited Partners to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the required percentage of Outstanding Units or the required percentage of Outstanding Units of the applicable class, as the case may be, specified in this Agreement.

 

Section 24.10                      Conduct of a Meeting .  The General Partner shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 13.4 , the conduct of voting, the validity and effect of any proxies and the determination of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting.  The General Partner shall designate a Person to serve as chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting.  All minutes shall be kept with the records of the Partnership maintained by the General Partner.  The General Partner may make such other regulations consistent with applicable law and this Agreement as it may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes and approvals, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote, and the submission and revocation of approvals in writing.

 

Section 24.11                      Action Without a Meeting .  If authorized by the General Partner, any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Limited Partners may be taken without a meeting if an approval in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Limited Partners owning not less than the minimum percentage of the Outstanding Units that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Limited Partners were present and voted (unless such provision conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed or admitted to trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such National Securities Exchange shall govern).  Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Limited Partners who have not approved in writing.  The General Partner may specify that any written ballot submitted to Limited Partners for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Partnership within the time period, which shall be not less than 20 days, specified by the General Partner.  If a ballot returned to the Partnership does not vote all of the Outstanding Units held by such Limited Partners, the Partnership shall be deemed to have failed to receive a ballot for the Outstanding Units that were not voted.  If approval of the taking of any permitted action by the Limited Partners is solicited by any Person other than by or on behalf of the General Partner, the written approvals shall have no force and effect unless and until (a) approvals sufficient to take the action proposed are deposited with the Partnership in care of the General Partner, (b) approvals sufficient to take the action proposed are dated as of a date not more than 90 days prior to the date sufficient approvals are first deposited with the Partnership and (c) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the General Partner to the effect that the exercise of such right and the action proposed to be taken with respect to any particular matter (i) will not cause the Limited

122



 

Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management and control of the business and affairs of the Partnership so as to jeopardize the Limited Partners’ limited liability, and (ii) is otherwise permissible under the state statutes then governing the rights, duties and liabilities of the Partnership and the Partners.

 

Section 24.12                      Right to Vote and Related Matters .

 

(a)                                  Only those Record Holders of the Outstanding Units on the Record Date set pursuant to Section 13.6 (and also subject to the limitations contained in the definition of “Outstanding”) shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Limited Partners or to act with respect to matters as to which the holders of the Outstanding Units have the right to vote or to act.  All references in this Agreement to votes of, or other acts that may be taken by, the Outstanding Units shall be deemed to be references to the votes or acts of the Record Holders of such Outstanding Units.

 

(b)                                  With respect to Units that are held for a Person’s account by another Person that is the Record Holder (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation, or an agent of any of the foregoing), such Record Holder shall, in exercising the voting rights in respect of such Units on any matter, and unless the arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise, vote such Units in favor of, and at the direction of, the Person who is the beneficial owner, and the Partnership shall be entitled to assume such Record Holder is so acting without further inquiry.  The provisions of this Section  13.12(b)  (as well as all other provisions of this Agreement) are subject to the provisions of Section 4.3 .

 

(c)                                   Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Record Holder of an Incentive Distribution Right shall not be entitled to vote such Incentive Distribution Right on any Partnership matter.

(iii) violate any federal, New York or Texas statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Partnership or the Delaware Laws; or

9.                                       The Partnership is not, and immediately after giving effect to the issuance and sale of the Purchased Units in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and after giving effect to the use of proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Units to partially fund the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, will not be required to be, registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

NEWS RELEASE

 

Phillips 66 Partners Announces $2.4 Billion Acquisition
Acquisition includes Interests in Bakken Pipeline Joint Ventures and Merey Sweeny, L.P.

 

·                   Transaction valued at $2.4 billion

·                   Consideration of $1.7 billion consisting of cash, debt and partnership units

·                   Expected to be immediately accretive to unitholders

·                   Assets include 25 percent interest in Bakken Pipeline joint ventures and 100 percent interest in Merey Sweeny, L.P.

 

HOUSTON, Sept. 21, 2017 — Phillips 66 Partners LP (NYSE: PSXP) (the “Partnership”) has reached agreement with Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) to acquire its 25 percent interest in each of Dakota Access, LLC and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (collectively, the “Bakken Pipeline”) and 100 percent interest in Merey Sweeny, L.P. (“MSLP”), the owner of fuel-grade coke processing units at the Phillips 66 Sweeny Refinery. The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to the Partnership and its unitholders and is anticipated to close in early October 2017.

 

The total transaction value of $2.4 billion includes $625 million in proportional non-consolidated, non-recourse Bakken Pipeline debt and $100 million of MSLP debt. The value reflects an approximate 8.9 times multiple, based on the acquired assets’ forecasted full year 2018 adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of approximately $270 million. In connection with the MSLP acquisition, Phillips 66 Partners will enter into a new 15-year tolling agreement that includes a base throughput fee and minimum volume commitment from Phillips 66.

 

Consideration for the acquisition is $1.7 billion. The Partnership plans to fund the acquisition through a combination of debt, proceeds from a private placement of equity units, and PSXP units issued to Phillips 66. As part of the transaction, the Partnership will assume certain Phillips 66 term loans and notes payable to Phillips 66, which the Partnership expects to repay with a combination of proceeds from the private placement of equity and long-term debt. The Partnership will also issue $240 million in new PSXP units to Phillips 66, allocated proportionately between common units and units issued to the general partner to maintain its 2 percent general partner interest.

 

“This is the largest acquisition PSXP has made to date,” said Greg Garland, Phillips 66 Partners chairman and CEO. “The Bakken Pipeline complements our strategy to expand current systems that are integrated with Phillips 66 refineries and terminals, while MSLP provides another reliable source of cash flow generation to the portfolio. This acquisition supports our EBITDA growth objective by adding solid fee-based assets to the Partnership and keeps us on track to deliver our 30 percent distribution growth target. To meet our $1.1 billion of annual run-rate adjusted EBITDA goal by the end of 2018, we do not anticipate accessing the equity market, other than through selective use of our at-the-market program.”

 

The transaction includes interests in the following assets:

 



 

·                   The Bakken Pipeline, which consists of 1,926 combined pipeline miles and 520,000 barrels per day (“BPD”) of crude oil capacity expandable to 570,000 BPD. There are receipt stations in North Dakota to access Bakken and Three Forks production, a delivery and receipt point in Patoka, Illinois, and delivery points in Nederland, Texas, including the Phillips 66 Beaumont Terminal.

 

·                   MSLP, owner of facilities that process residue from heavy sour crude oil into liquid products and fuel-grade petroleum coke at the Phillips 66 Sweeny Refinery in Old Ocean, Texas. The facilities include a 125,000 BPD capacity vacuum distillation unit and a 70,000 BPD capacity delayed coker unit.

 

The terms of the transaction were approved by the board of directors of the general partner of Phillips 66 Partners, based on the approval and recommendation of its conflicts committee comprised solely of independent directors. The conflicts committee engaged Evercore to act as its financial advisor and Vinson & Elkins, L.L.P. to act as its legal counsel.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

 

This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined under the federal securities laws, including projections, plans and objectives. Although Phillips 66 Partners believes that expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition, these statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other assumptions that are difficult to predict and may be beyond Phillips 66 Partners’ control. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what Phillips 66 Partners anticipated, estimated, projected or expected. The key risk

 



 

factors that may have a direct bearing on the forward-looking statements are the accuracy of our assumptions used to estimate the benefits to be realized from the acquisition, our ability to successfully complete the acquisition and integrate the assets into our operations, and other factors as described in the filings that Phillips 66 Partners makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than as described. All forward-looking statements in this release are made as of the date hereof and Phillips 66 Partners undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information — This news release includes the terms forecasted adjusted EBITDA and annual run-rate adjusted EBITDA. These are non-GAAP financial measures. Forecasted adjusted EBITDA is based on the Partnership’s projections for the acquired assets, including throughput fees expected to be paid by Phillips 66 under commercial agreements that were entered into in connection with the acquisition of the 100 percent interest in Merey Sweeny, L.P. Forecasted adjusted EBITDA is included to help facilitate transaction value analysis, as well as help facilitate an assessment of the acquired assets’ contributions to PSXP’s future EBITDA growth. Annual r un-rate EBITDA is a forecast of future EBITDA, and is based on the Partnership’s projections of annual adjusted EBITDA inclusive of current assets and future potential acquisitions by the Partnership. Annual run-rate adjusted EBITDA is included to demonstrate management’s intention of future growth through acquisitions and organic projects.

 

Forecasted adjusted EBITDA and annual run-rate adjusted EBITDA are not presented as alternatives to the nearest GAAP financial measure, net income, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We are unable to present a reconciliation of forecasted adjusted EBITDA and annual run-rate adjusted EBITDA because certain elements of net income, including interest, depreciation and taxes, are not available. Together, these items generally result in adjusted EBITDA being significantly greater than net income.
