Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Effective November 1, 2017 , Valero Energy Partners LP (the Partnership) entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the Purchase Agreement) and a contribution agreement (the Contribution Agreement and, together with the Purchase Agreement, the Transaction Agreements). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Valero Energy Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Valero Terminaling and Distribution Company (VTDC) and Valero Energy Partners GP LLC (the General Partner) sold to the Partnership (the Acquisition) all of the outstanding membership interests of Parkway Pipeline LLC (Parkway) in exchange for a cash payment of $200 million (the Cash Payment). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Valero Energy Corporation, through VTDC and the General Partner contributed to the Partnership (the Contribution and, together with the Acquisition, the Drop Down) all of the outstanding membership interests of Valero Partners Port Arthur, LLC (Valero Port Arthur) in exchange for (i) a cash distribution of $262 million to VTDC (the Cash Distribution and, together with the Cash Payment, the Cash Consideration), (ii) the issuance of 1,081,315 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (Common Units) to VTDC and (iii) the issuance of 22,068 general partner units representing general partner interests in the Partnership (General Partner Units) to the General Partner. The Cash Consideration was funded with $82 million of cash on hand and $380 million of borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility.
The term “Valero,” when used in this report, may refer to Valero Energy Corporation, to one or more of its subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole (other than the Partnership or its subsidiaries or the General Partner) as the context requires.
In the Acquisition, the Partnership acquired the following:
Parkway Pipeline . Parkway operates a 141-mile, 16-inch refined petroleum products pipeline with 110,000 barrels per day of capacity (the Parkway Pipeline) that transports refined petroleum products from Valero’s St. Charles Refinery, located in Norco, Louisiana, to Collins, Mississippi for supply into the Plantation and Colonial pipeline systems.
Port Arthur Tank Farm . Valero Port Arthur operates a crude oil, intermediates, and refined petroleum products terminal (the Port Arthur Terminal) that supports Valero’s Port Arthur Refinery located in Port Arthur, Texas. The Port Arthur Terminal has 47 storage tanks with 8.5 million barrels of storage capacity.
Valero owns (i) the 2% general partner interest in the Partnership, (ii) all incentive distribution rights in the Partnership, and (iii) a 67.5% limited partner interest in the Partnership. Certain officers of Valero (including Joseph W. Gorder who is Valero’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer) also serve as officers and/or directors of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. Additionally, the Partnership and Valero have certain commercial relationships as further described in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.
The terms of the Transaction Agreements were determined pursuant to negotiations between the Partnership and the conflicts committee of the board of directors of the General Partner, which is composed solely of independent directors. The conflicts committee retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist in evaluating and negotiating the Transaction Agreements. The conflicts committee approved the Transaction Agreements and recommended approval of the Transaction Agreements to the General Partner’s board of directors, which then approved the Transaction Agreements.
Effective November 1, 2017 , the following documents were executed in connection with the Transaction Agreements.

The Partnership entered into amended and restated schedules (the Amended Omnibus Schedules) to the Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2014 (the Omnibus Agreement), among Valero, the General Partner, the Partnership, and certain of their respective subsidiaries. The Amended Omnibus Schedules join each of Parkway and Valero Port Arthur as a party to the Omnibus Agreement and include the following modifications, among others:
the indemnification obligations of Valero and the Partnership under the Omnibus Agreement were extended to apply to the Parkway Pipeline and the Port Arthur Terminal in substantially the same manner as the assets acquired by the Partnership in its initial public offering;
the annual administrative fee payable by the Partnership was increased from $12.5 million per year to $13.2 million per year. The increase in the fee of $690,000 will be prorated for the remainder of 2017 based on the number of days from November 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017; and
the grant to Valero of a right of first refusal with respect to the Parkway Pipeline and the Port Arthur Terminal.

The Amended Omnibus Schedules are governed by the terms of the Omnibus Agreement, which is incorporated by reference to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.03. The foregoing description of the Amended Omnibus Schedules is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Omnibus Schedules, which are filed as Exhibit 10.04 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibits, which are filed as Exhibit 10.06 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Port Arthur Terminal Services Schedule
The Partnership and Valero entered into a commercial agreement with respect to the Port Arthur Terminal in the form of an additional schedule (the Port Arthur Schedule) to the Master Terminal Services Agreement (together with the schedules thereto, the Terminal Services Agreement) entered into on December 16, 2013 in connection with the Partnership’s initial public offering. The Port Arthur Schedule provides for inflation escalators, has an initial term of 10 years, and provides Valero an option to renew for one additional five-year term. The Port Arthur Schedule is governed by the terms of the Master Terminal Services Agreement.
Pursuant to the Port Arthur Schedule, the Partnership will charge Valero for terminaling services at the Port Arthur Terminal. Valero will pay a fee of $0.254 per barrel for throughput volumes up to 666,536 barrels per day and $0.05 per barrel for throughput volumes in excess of 666,536 barrels per day. Valero will be obligated to deliver for throughput a quarterly average of at least 616,176 barrels per day at the Port Arthur Terminal.
Parkway Pipeline Transportation Services Agreement
Pursuant to a transportation services agreement (the Parkway TSA) between Parkway and Valero Marketing and Supply Company (VMSC), Parkway will provide transportation services to VMSC, and VMSC will commit to pay for minimum quarterly throughput volumes of refined petroleum products, regardless of whether such volumes are physically delivered by VMSC in any given quarter.
Effective November 1, 2017, Parkway and VMSC amended the Parkway TSA to temporarily reduce the minimum throughput commitment, which will increase to 100,000 barrels per day if certain conditions with respect to transportation on the Plantation pipeline system are met for a period of 18 consecutive months. If VMSC fails to meet its minimum quarterly throughput commitments under the Parkway TSA in any given quarter, it will be obligated to pay a deficiency payment equal to the volume deficiency multiplied by the applicable tariff. Such quarterly deficiency payments may be applied as a credit for amounts owed on throughput volumes in excess of VMSC’s minimum quarterly throughput commitment during any of the following four quarters, after which time any unused credits will expire.
Valero will pay the applicable tariff rate of $0.8869 per barrel for throughput volumes, subject to inflation escalators.  By December 1, 2017, Parkway expects to file an additional volume incentive rate, such that Valero will pay (i) during the period when Valero is obligated to deliver less than 100,000 barrels per day, a fee of $0.10 per barrel for throughput volumes in excess of 85,000 barrels per day, and (ii) during the period when Valero is obligated to deliver 100,000 barrels per day, a fee of $0.10 per barrel for throughput volumes in excess of 100,000 barrels per day. 
The initial term of the Parkway TSA was extended to October 31, 2027 and VMSC has the option to extend the agreement for an additional five year term. The Parkway TSA contains customary force majeure and indemnification provisions.

Port Arthur Lease and Access Agreement
Valero Port Arthur entered into a Lease and Access Agreement with Valero (the Lease and Access Agreement) pursuant to which Valero Port Arthur will lease the land on which the Port Arthur Terminal is located. The term of the Lease and Access Agreement is for 10 years with four automatic successive renewal periods of five years each. Each party may terminate by providing written notice within 180 days of such period. Initially, Valero Port Arthur will pay $3,369,090 per year as base rent, subject to an annual inflation escalator. Valero Port Arthur will also pay customary expense reimbursement for taxes, utilities, and similar costs incurred by Valero related to the leased premises.

The Lease and Access Agreement contains customary terms regarding the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to maintenance of the leased premises, alterations to the leased premises, and maintenance of certain types of insurance, as well as customary default, remedy, and indemnity provisions.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On November 1, 2017 , the Partnership completed the Drop Down pursuant to the terms of each Transaction Agreement. The Partnership, the General Partner, and Valero have various relationships with one another. The information set forth in Item 1.01 regarding the Transaction Agreements and the relationships among the Partnership, the General Partner, and Valero is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the Parties have used their good faith efforts to identify all of the assets and operations to be assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Partnership in connection with this Agreement.

To the extent any such assets are identified at a later date, the Parties shall take all appropriate action required in order to assign, transfer or convey such assets to the Partnership. Likewise, to the extent that any assets or operations that are indirectly assigned, transferred or conveyed to the Partnership hereunder are later identified by the Parties as assets and operations that the Parties did not intend to assign, transfer or convey to the Partnership, the Parties shall take all appropriate action required to assign, transfer or convey such assets and operations to VTDC.

Following the Closing Date, the Parties shall cooperate fully with each other and shall make available to the other, as reasonably requested and at the expense of the requesting Party, and to any Governmental Authority responsible for the administration of any tax, all information, records or documents relating to tax liabilities or potential tax liabilities of Parkway Pipeline for all periods at or prior to the Effective Time and any information which may be relevant to determining the amount payable hereunder, and shall preserve all such information, records and documents at least until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof.
6.4      Cooperation for Litigation and Other Actions . Each Party shall cooperate reasonably with each other Party, at the requesting Party’s expense (but including only out-of-pocket expenses to unaffiliated third parties, photocopying and delivery costs and not the costs incurred by either Party for the wages or other benefits paid to its officers, directors or employees), in furnishing reasonably available information, testimony and other assistance in connection with any Claims or other disputes involving any of the Parties hereto (other than in connection with disputes between the Parties).

INDEMNIFICATION
7.1      Indemnification . From and after the Closing and subject to the provisions of this Article VII , (a) VTDC agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Partnership Indemnified Costs and (b) the Partnership agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the VTDC Indemnified Parties from and against any and all VTDC Indemnified Costs. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to Section 7.5 , the foregoing indemnification is intended to be in addition to and not in limitation of any indemnification to which the Parties may be entitled under the Ancillary Documents. For purposes of calculating Indemnified Costs (but not determining whether a breach has occurred), no effect shall be given to any qualifications of representations or warranties as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect.
7.2      Defense of Third-Party Claims . An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to VTDC or the Partnership, as applicable (the “ Indemnifying Party ”), of the commencement or assertion of any Claim by a third party (collectively, a “ third-party action ”) in respect of which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder. Any failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it, he, or she may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article VII unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of, settle, or otherwise dispose of such third-party action on such terms as it deems appropriate; provided, however , that:


18


(a)      The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such third-party action ( provided, however , that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the Indemnified Party if (i) the employment of separate counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such third-party action; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to have charge of such third-party action; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (iv) the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall have advised the Indemnified Party in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that there is a material conflict of interest that could violate applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel);
(b)      The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before entering into or making any settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of the validity of such third-party action or any liability in respect thereof if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if, in the opinion of the Indemnified Party, such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment could have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Indemnified Party;
(c)      The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Party that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such third-party action; and
(d)      The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of any third-party action (i) as to which the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within a reasonable length of time or (ii) to the extent the third-party action seeks an order, injunction, or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of the Indemnified Party; provided, however , that the Indemnified Party shall make no settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment that would give rise to liability on the part of any Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party.
The Parties shall extend reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense of any third-party action pursuant to this Article VII and, in connection therewith, shall furnish such records, information, and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals as may be reasonably requested.
7.3      Direct Claims . In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder which is not subject to Section 7.2 because no third-party action is involved, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any Indemnified Costs which such Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.4(a) , the failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness


19


in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim unless the resulting delay materially prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.
7.4      Limitations . The following provisions of this Section 7.4 shall limit the indemnification obligations hereunder:
(a)      The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Indemnified Costs pursuant to this Article VII unless a written claim for indemnification in accordance with Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto on or before 5:00 p.m., San Antonio, Texas time, on or prior to the date that is 18 months after of the Closing Date; provided, however , that written claims for indemnification (i) for Indemnified Costs arising out of a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 4.1 , 4.2 , 4.6 , 5.1 , 5.2 and 5.6 (the “ Fundamental Representations ”) may be made at any time and (ii) for Indemnified Costs arising out of a breach of any covenant may be made at any time prior to the expiration of such covenant according to its terms.
(b)      An Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay for any Indemnified Costs under this Article VII until the amount of all such Indemnified Costs exceeds, in the aggregate, $1,500,000 (with the Indemnifying Party only being responsible for Indemnified Costs in excess of such amount). The aggregate liability of an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII shall not exceed $30,000,000. The limitations in the previous two sentences shall not apply to Indemnified Costs to the extent such costs arise out of a breach of (i) any Fundamental Representations or (ii) any covenant set forth in this Agreement.
(c)      Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, after the Closing Date, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Partnership’s and the other Partnership Indemnified Parties’ and VTDC’s and the other VTDC Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the Indemnified Costs shall be in accordance with, and limited by, the provisions set forth in this Article VII .
7.5      Remedies Under Ancillary Documents . Each Party acknowledges and agrees that this Article VII is not the remedy for and does not limit the Parties’ remedies for matters covered by the indemnification provisions contained in the Ancillary Documents. Any indemnification obligation of VTDC to the Partnership Indemnified Parties, on the one hand, or the Partnership to the VTDC Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, pursuant to this Article VII shall be reduced by an amount equal to any indemnification recovery by such Indemnified Parties pursuant to the other Ancillary Documents between the Parties to the extent that such other indemnification recovery arises out of the same event or circumstance giving rise to the indemnification obligation of VTDC or the Partnership, respectively, hereunder.
7.6      Tax Related Adjustments .
VTDC and the Partnership agree that any payment of Indemnified Costs made hereunder will be treated by the Parties on their tax returns as an adjustment to the Cash Consideration.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the Parties have used their good faith efforts to identify all of the assets and operations to be assigned, transferred, contributed and conveyed to the Partnership in connection with this Agreement. However, due to the age of

    
17



some of the assets or operations and the difficulties in locating appropriate data with respect to some of the assets included in these operations, it is possible that some of the assets intended to be assigned, transferred, contributed or conveyed ultimately to the Partnership were not identified and therefore are not assigned, transferred, contributed or conveyed (directly or indirectly) to the Partnership as of the Effective Time. To the extent that any assets were not identified but form an integral part of the assets and operations of Valero Port Arthur and are not needed for the conduct of any of the businesses conducted by Valero and its Affiliates, then the intent of the Parties is that all such unidentified assets are intended to be assigned, transferred, contributed and conveyed to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent any such assets are identified at a later date, the Parties shall take all appropriate action required in order to assign, transfer, contribute or convey such assets to the Partnership. Likewise, to the extent that any assets or operations that are indirectly assigned, transferred, contributed or conveyed to the Partnership hereunder are later identified by the Parties as assets and operations that the Parties did not intend to assign, transfer, contribute or convey to the Partnership, the Parties shall take all appropriate action required to assign, transfer, contribute or convey such assets and operations to VTDC.

6.4      Cooperation for Litigation and Other Actions . Each Party shall cooperate reasonably with each other Party, at the requesting Party’s expense (but including only out-of-pocket expenses to unaffiliated third parties, photocopying and delivery costs and not the costs incurred by either Party for the wages or other benefits paid to its officers, directors or employees), in furnishing reasonably available information, testimony and other assistance in connection with any Claims or other disputes involving any of the Parties hereto (other than in connection with disputes between the Parties).
6.5      Retention of and Access to Books and Records .

18

Any Losses, Claims and Encumbrances that may arise out of the performance of such work on the Under Construction Tanks shall constitute Partnership Indemnified Costs, except to the extent they (a) arise out of the acts, omissions or negligence of any of the Partnership Indemnified Parties or (b) constitute Special Damages (other than Special Damages of the types identified in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of Partnership Indemnified Costs).

19



Indemnified Party under this Article VII unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of, settle, or otherwise dispose of such third-party action on such terms as it deems appropriate; provided, however , that:
(a)      The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such third-party action ( provided, however , that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the Indemnified Party if (i) the employment of separate counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such third-party action; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to have charge of such third-party action; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (iv) the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall have advised the Indemnified Party in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that there is a material conflict of interest that could violate applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel);

(c)      The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Party that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such third-party action; and
(d)      The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of any third-party action (i) as to which the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within a reasonable length of time or (ii) to the extent the third-party action seeks an order, injunction, or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of the Indemnified Party; provided, however , that the Indemnified Party shall make no settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment that would give rise to liability on the part of any Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party.
The Parties shall extend reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense of any third-party action pursuant to this Article VII and, in connection therewith, shall furnish such records, information, and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals as may be reasonably requested.

7.3      Direct Claims . In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder which is not subject to Section 7.2 because no third-party action is involved, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any Indemnified Costs which such Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.4(a) , the failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim unless the resulting delay materially prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.
7.4      Limitations . The following provisions of this Section 7.4 shall limit the indemnification obligations hereunder:
(a)      The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Indemnified Costs pursuant to this Article VII unless a written claim for indemnification in accordance with Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto on or before 5:00 p.m., San Antonio, Texas time, on or prior to the date that is 18 months after of the Closing Date; provided, however , that written claims for indemnification (i) for Indemnified Costs arising out of a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 4.1 , 4.2 , 4.6 , 5.1 , 5.2 and 5.6 (the “ Fundamental Representations ”) may be made at any time and (ii) for Indemnified Costs arising out of a breach of any covenant may be made at any time prior to the expiration of such covenant according to its terms.

The aggregate liability of an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII shall not exceed $46,200,000. The limitations in the previous two sentences shall not apply to Indemnified Costs to the extent such costs arise out of a breach of (i) any Fundamental Representations or (ii) any covenant set forth in this Agreement.
(c)      Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, after the Closing Date, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Partnership’s and the other Partnership Indemnified Parties’ and VTDC’s and the other VTDC Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the Indemnified Costs shall be in accordance with, and limited by, the provisions set forth in this Article VII .

In this regard, VTDC and the Partnership agree that the Cash Distribution shall be treated (i) as a “debt-financed transfer” to VTDC under Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-5(b) to the extent the cash is traceable under the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.163-8T to VTDC’s allocable share, determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-5(b)(2), of indebtedness of the Partnership, (ii) as a reimbursement of capital expenditures (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-4(d)) with respect to the tankage and related assets owned by Valero Port Arthur, to the extent that VTDC provides to the Partnership on or before January 15, 2018 a statement that states the amount of qualifying capital expenditures and evidence satisfactory to the Partnership documenting the capital expenditures and their qualification, and (iii) as the proceeds of a sale of assets by VTDC to the Partnership to the extent clause (i), clause (ii), or any other exception to the “disguised sale” rules under Section 707 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, are inapplicable.

Except with the prior written consent of VTDC, the Partnership agrees to act at all times in a manner consistent with the foregoing intended treatment of the Cash Distribution, including, if required, disclosing the distribution of the Cash Distribution in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-3(c)(2).

other than those Sleeve Tanks that are in diesel or jet service (the “ Distillate Sleeve Tanks ”) and (ii) with respect to the Distillate Sleeve Tanks, petitioned the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the “TCEQ”) to clarify the Emission Sleeve Installations are not required for the Distillate Sleeve Tanks. As of the Closing Date, PRG has not received such clarification from the TCEQ on the Distillate Sleeve Tanks. Following the Closing Date, PRG shall cause the completion of, and cooperate with the Partnership Group, on the logistics for completing, the Emission Sleeve Installations and any inspections necessary for the Sleeve Tanks to return to service, provided however, if the TCEQ determines that the Emission Sleeve Installations are not required for the Distillate Sleeve Tanks, PRG shall not be obligated to make Emission Sleeve Installations on the Distillate Sleeve Tanks. Until completion of the Emission Sleeve Installations, Valero shall retain any environmental liability that arises from the preceding non-compliance with applicable regulations, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Group Member from any enforcement actions and any costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership Group resulting from the Sleeve Tanks lacking emission control sleeves. Without limitation to the other indemnification provisions of Section 2.1 of the Agreement, following the final inspection and written determination that the Emission Sleeve Installations are complete on the applicable Sleeve Tanks, or not required on the Distillate Sleeve Tanks, the Partnership Group shall assume any and all environmental liabilities related to the Sleeve Tanks arising thereafter.

(d)
Valero and PRG acknowledge that some or all of the Port Arthur Terminal Assets, other than the Port Arthur Tanks, may have been exposed to flooding due to Hurricane/Tropical Storm Harvey (the “ Exposed Tank Farm Assets ”). Valero, by and through PRG, has commenced and will continue to completion, the repair or replacement of those Exposed Tank Farm Assets that are in need of immediate repair or replacement due to flood water damage (the “ Water Damage Repairs ”). If the Water Damage Repairs have not been completed prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Contribution Agreement (Port Arthur), dated as of November   1, 2017, by and between Valero Terminaling and Distribution Company and Valero Energy Partners LP), PRG shall control the completion of, and cooperate with the Partnership Group on, the logistics for completing all such repairs and inspections necessary for those Exposed Tank Farm Assets to return to service. Until completion of those obligations, Valero shall retain any liability that arises from the preceding Water Damage Repairs, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Group Member from Losses related to such Water Damage Repairs. Valero, by and through PRG, specifically represents and warrants that all Port Arthur Terminal Assets, including those Exposed Tank Farm Assets undergoing the Water Damage Repairs, are, or will be, upon completion of the Water Damage Repairs, in good working order and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Group Member from any Losses that arise from a breach of such representation and warranty for a period of 18 months from the Effective Time.

As it relates to the St.   Charles Terminal Assets, the Houston Terminal Assets, the Corpus East Terminal Assets, the Corpus West Terminal Assets, the McKee Terminal Assets, the Meraux Terminal Assets, the Three Rivers Terminal Assets and the Port Arthur Terminal Assets:

(a)
The Parties acknowledge that certain Facility Pipelines and Refinery Pipelines (as those terms are defined in the St. Charles Lease, the Houston Lease, the Corpus East Lease, the Corpus West Lease, the McKee Lease, the Meraux Lease, the Three Rivers Lease and the Port Arthur Lease) may be buried below ground. Valero by and through its Subsidiaries as the property owner or for other logistical or environmental reasons may, in its or their sole discretion, desire to relocate all or portions of those buried Facility Pipelines and Refinery Pipelines above ground. If Valero by and through its Subsidiaries desires to relocate all or portions of any buried Facility Pipelines or Refinery Pipelines above ground, Valero by and through its Subsidiaries shall give the Partnership Group written notice that it desires to raise certain sections of the Facility Pipelines and Refinery Pipelines and the Partnership Group and Valero by and through its Subsidiaries shall work together to set a schedule for such work. The cost of raising the Facility Pipelines and Refinery Pipelines shall be borne exclusively by Valero or its applicable Subsidiary performing the work.

(b)
The Partnership Group may also desire that certain of the buried Facility Pipelines be brought above ground. In its sole discretion, the Partnership Group may give notice to Valero or its applicable Subsidiary that it intends to raise certain sections of the Facility Pipelines and the Partnership Group and Valero by and through its Subsidiaries shall work together to set a schedule for such work and all such work shall be performed in compliance with the terms of the St.   Charles Lease, the Houston Lease, the Corpus East Lease, the Corpus West Lease, the McKee Lease, the Meraux Lease, the Three Rivers Lease or the Port Arthur Lease, as applicable. In this case, the cost of raising the Facility Pipelines shall be borne exclusively by the Partnership Group or its applicable Subsidiary performing the work.

(c)
Until such time as the buried Facility Pipelines and Refinery Pipelines are raised above grade, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that any contamination found in connection with such buried Facility Pipelines and Refinery Pipelines occurred prior to the respective Closing Date and the liability for such contamination will remain with Valero and Valero shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Group Member from any Losses related to such retained liability. Valero may rebut this presumption by establishing by clear and convincing evidence that the contamination resulted from the Partnership Group operations.

9.
As it relates to the St.   Charles Terminal Assets, the Houston Terminal Assets, the Corpus East Terminal Assets, the Corpus West Terminal Assets, the McKee Terminal Assets, the Meraux Terminal Assets, the Three Rivers Terminal Assets and the Port Arthur Terminal Assets, Valero, by and through its applicable Subsidiary, operates groundwater monitoring and remedial


Schedule A – Page 10


systems at the St.   Charles Refinery, the Houston Refinery, the Corpus East Refinery, the Corpus West Refinery, the McKee Refinery, the Meraux Refinery, the Three Rivers Refinery and the Port Arthur Refinery and will retain the liability for contamination existing as of the Closing Date remediated through these systems and the obligation to maintain these existing systems until such time as the relevant Governmental Authority grants closure in writing or the Partnership Group and Valero mutually agree that further operation is not necessary. Further, in the case of the McKee Refinery, Valero will retain any liability arising out of groundwater contamination existing as of the Closing Date regardless of the currently known extent or remediation of such contamination. Valero shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Group Member from any Losses related to the retained liabilities described in this paragraph; provided, however, in the event that the Partnership Group has a release to the environment after the Closing Date and this release has a material adverse impact on the existing remedial system or triggers new remedial obligations, the Partnership Group shall reimburse Valero for the additional costs incurred as a result of the post-closure release.

10.
From time to time environmental and safety obligations may arise that the parties had not anticipated. The Partnership Group and Valero agree to cooperate and in good faith to fairly allocate the liabilities and to work cooperatively to minimize the cost of addressing any such environmental and safety obligations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
References in this report to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Parkway Pipeline LLC as described below. References in this report to “Valero” refer collectively to Valero Energy Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole, other than Valero Energy Partners LP, any of its subsidiaries, or its general partner.

We are a Delaware limited liability company formed in June 2011. Prior to June 30, 2016, 50 percent of our membership interests were owned by Kinder Morgan Operating L.P. "D" (OLPD), an indirect subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI), and the remaining 50 percent of our membership interests were owned by Valero Terminaling and Distribution Company (VTDC), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Valero. Effective June 30, 2016, VTDC purchased OLPD’s 50 percent membership interest (Membership Interest Acquisition), bringing VTDC’s total interest in us to 100 percent.

Effective November 1, 2017 , Valero Energy Partners LP acquired 100 percent of our membership interests for total cash consideration of $200.0 million .
Description of Business
We own and operate a 141-mile, 16-inch refined petroleum products pipeline with 110,000 barrels per day of capacity, a refined petroleum products pump station in Norco, Louisiana, and related facilities. We transport refined petroleum products from Valero’s St. Charles Refinery in Norco, Louisiana to Collins, Mississippi for supply into the Plantation pipeline system, which is majority owned and operated by KMI.
We do not take ownership of or receive any payments based on the value of the refined petroleum products that we handle and do not engage in the trading of any commodities, thus we have no direct exposure to commodity price fluctuations. Our operations consist of one reportable segment.
Basis of Presentation
General
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Our assets and liabilities have been reflected on a historical cost basis as we elected not to apply pushdown accounting in connection with the Membership Interest Acquisition described above.
The financial statements and notes to the financial statements as of June 30, 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, included herein, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our interim financial statements have been included. Unless otherwise specified, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Subsequent Events
We have evaluated subsequent events through the date the audited financial statements were issued on November 1, 2017 . Any material subsequent events that occurred during this time have been properly recognized or disclosed in these financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
Net Transfers
Net transfers represents the net effect of transactions with, and allocations from, Valero. There were no terms of settlement or interest charges associated with the net transfers.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.
Inventories
Our inventories, which consist of materials and supplies, are valued at the lower of average cost or market.
Property and Equipment
The cost of property and equipment purchased or constructed, including betterments of property assets, is capitalized. However, the cost of repairs to and normal maintenance of property and equipment is expensed when incurred. Betterments of property and equipment are those that extend the useful lives of the property and equipment, increase the capacity or improve the operating efficiency of the asset, or improve the safety of our operations. The cost of property and equipment constructed includes interest and certain overhead costs allocable to the construction activities.

Depreciation of property and equipment is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the component method of depreciation. When property and equipment are retired or replaced, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated, with any gain or loss reflected in depreciation expense, unless such amounts are reported separately due to materiality.
Asset Retirement Obligation
We record a liability, which is referred to as an asset retirement obligation, at fair value for the estimated cost to retire a tangible long-lived asset at the time we incur that liability, which is generally when the asset is purchased or constructed. We record the liability when we have a legal obligation to incur costs to retire the asset and when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability can be made. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made at the time the liability is incurred, we record the liability when sufficient information is available to estimate the liability’s fair value.

It is our practice and current intent to operate and maintain our property and equipment and continue to make improvements as warranted. As a result, we believe that these property assets have indeterminate lives for purposes of estimating asset retirement obligations because dates or ranges of dates upon which we would retire these assets cannot reasonably be estimated at this time; therefore, no asset retirement obligations have been recorded as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

PARKWAY PIPELINE LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Revenue Recognition
Our operating revenues are generated from the transportation of refined petroleum products through our pipeline at regulated tariff rates. Operating revenues are recognized upon completion of the transportation service.
As further described in Note 2, our transportation services agreement with Valero contains minimum volume commitments. Under this agreement, if Valero fails to ship the minimum volume, then Valero pays us a deficiency payment for the shortfall of the barrels for the settlement period. If third-party volumes are shipped on the pipeline, Valero’s minimum volume commitment is reduced on a barrel-for-barrel basis for each third-party barrel shipped. If Valero ships volumes in excess of the minimum volume commitment, then the excess volumes will reduce the volume commitment for the subsequent settlement period on a barrel-for-barrel basis. Deficiency payments from Valero are credited on a dollar-for-dollar basis against tariff charges applicable to excess volumes in a subsequent settlement period. The deficiency payments are initially recorded as deferred revenue – related party.
We recognize operating revenues for deficiency payments when credits are used for volumes transported in excess of the minimum volume commitment or when we determine that it is not probable that Valero will transport volumes in excess of the minimum volume commitment prior to the expiration of the credits. However, any remaining unused credits are recognized as operating revenues no later than the expiration of the settlement period.
Litigation Matters
From time to time, we may be party to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We also may be required by existing laws and regulations to report the release of hazardous substances and begin a remediation study. We record a loss contingency liability when we have determined that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and that the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. We had no accruals for any outstanding legal proceedings as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. We re-evaluate and update our loss contingency liabilities as matters progress over time, and we believe that any changes to the recorded liabilities will not be material to our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Income Taxes
We are a limited liability company and are not subject to federal income taxes or state income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been recorded in our financial statements. The tax effects of our activities accrue to our single-member owner (Valero), who reports such activities on its individual federal income tax return.
Following the acquisition of us by Valero Energy Partners LP , our operations will be treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, with each partner being separately taxed on their share of the taxable income or loss.
Comprehensive Income
We have not reported comprehensive income due to the absence of items of other comprehensive income in the periods presented.

Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” to clarify the principles

PARKWAY PIPELINE LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

for recognizing revenue. This new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods. We recently completed our evaluation of the provisions of this standard and concluded that our adoption will not materially change the amount or timing of revenues recognized by us, nor will it materially affect our financial position. As described in our revenue recognition policy, our revenues are generated from the transportation of refined petroleum products through our pipeline. These revenues are based on the volume (barrels) of refined petroleum products transported at regulated tariff rates per barrel, and we recognize these revenues upon completion of the transportation service. We will adopt this new standard effective January 1, 2018, and we expect to use the modified retrospective method of adoption as permitted by the standard. Under that method, the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of member’s equity, and revenues reported in the periods prior to the date of adoption are not changed. We do not, however, expect to make such an adjustment to member’s equity. During 2017, we are developing our revenue disclosures and enhancing our accounting systems.

2.
RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Operating Activities
Our operations consist of transporting refined petroleum products for Valero. We do not have any employees.
Transactions with KMI
Prior to June 30, 2016, OLPD managed and operated us under an operating and administration agreement through which we incurred operating fee expenses that were recorded as a component of “cost of revenues – related party (excluding depreciation expense).” This agreement was terminated on June 30, 2016 in connection with the Membership Interest Acquisition as described in Note 1. We reimbursed KMI for the cost of employee services provided to us through June 30, 2016.
Transactions with Valero
Cash Management
Prior to June 30, 2016, we maintained our own cash account. Effective June 30, 2016, upon VTDC owning 100 percent of our membership interests, we began utilizing Valero’s centralized approach to the cash management and financing of our operations. We transfer cash to Valero daily and Valero funds our operating and investing activities as needed. Accordingly, cash held by Valero at the corporate level was not allocated to us for any of the periods presented. We reflected transfers of cash to and from Valero’s cash management system as a component of member’s equity on our balance sheets, and these net transfers of cash are reflected as a financing activity in our statements of cash flows. We have also not included any interest income on the net cash transfers to Valero.
Transportation Services
We have a transportation services agreement with Valero under which we provide pipeline transportation services to Valero and Valero pays us for a minimum volume of barrels of refined petroleum products as prescribed by the agreement during each of ten consecutive settlement periods (the initial term). Each settlement period begins on July 1 and expires on June 30 of the following calendar year. After the initial term of the agreement, if Valero has deficiency credits that were not credited against excess volumes, Valero may elect up to ten one-year extensions of the agreement with 30 days’ prior written notice. However, if we do not believe Valero will meet its volume commitment during the initial term or optional extension periods,



9





PARKWAY PIPELINE LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

we may terminate the agreement with 60 days’ prior written notice, at which time, any remaining deficiency credits will expire.
For settlement periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, Valero failed to ship the minimum committed volumes on our pipeline. This was due, in part, to the Plantation pipeline system operating under proration, which limited the volumes that shippers on that system, including Valero, were able to ship. We recognized operating revenues associated with the minimum commitment because we determined it was not probable that Valero would transport volumes in excess of the minimum volume commitment prior to the expiration of the credits. In conjunction with the Membership Interest Acquisition, Valero settled the deficiency owed to us. The deficiency accumulated as of December 31, 2016 for the settlement period beginning July 1, 2016 is reflected on our balance sheet as “unbilled receivable – related party.” Valero settled that deficiency on June 30, 2017, including the additional deficiency generated from January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017, through net transfers to Valero. (See “Transactions with Valero – Cash Management” discussion for net transfers to Valero.)
Effective November 1, 2017, we amended our transportation services agreement with Valero to temporarily reduce the settlement period commitment until prorated shipments on the Plantation pipeline system have ceased for a period of 18 consecutive calendar months. In addition, the initial term of the transportation services agreement, which had an original maturity of 10 years, was extended to October 31, 2027. Valero may renew the agreement for one five-year period with 180 days’ prior written notice. As of October 31, 2017, any outstanding deficiency credits expired.
Operating and Administrative Services
Starting June 30, 2016, Valero provided labor and overhead support to us for the operation of our business and management oversight of our day-to-day operations. Employee benefit expenses, such as medical insurance, life insurance, and employee benefit plan expenses, including stock-based compensation, were allocated to us based on Valero’s determination of actual costs attributable to employees who provide services to us. We recorded the salaries and employee benefits expenses as a component of “cost of revenues (excluding depreciation expense) – related party” and “general and administrative expenses – related party.” Valero also charged us for certain corporate functions performed on our behalf that were recorded as “general and administrative expenses – related party.” These corporate functions included allocations of general corporate expenses related to executive oversight, accounting, treasury, tax, legal, procurement, information technology, and operational support services such as engineering and logistics.
Our management believes the charges allocated to us are a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided. However, those allocations may not fully reflect the expenses that would have been incurred had we been a stand-alone company for the periods presented subsequent to June 30, 2016 and cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist.
For purposes of these financial statements, payables and receivables related to transactions between us and Valero are included in net transfers.
Concentration Risk
All of our operating revenues were derived from transactions with Valero. Therefore, we are subject to the business risks associated with Valero’s business.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Pension and Retirement Savings Plans
Employees of Valero who directly or indirectly support our operations participate in the pension, postretirement health and life insurance, and defined contribution benefit plans sponsored by Valero. Costs associated with these benefit plans were included in the costs allocated to us from Valero and were included in “cost of revenues (excluding depreciation expense) – related party” or “general and administrative expenses – related party,” depending on the nature of the employee’s role in our operations.

Stock-based Compensation
We do not have any stock compensation plans. Eligible Valero employees who supported our operations participated in Valero’s 2011 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the OSIP), which authorizes the grant of various stock and stock-based awards. Awards available under the OSIP include options to purchase shares of common stock of Valero, performance awards that vest upon the achievement of an objective performance goal, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock that vests over a period determined by Valero’s compensation committee. Prior to the approval of the OSIP by Valero’s stockholders, most of the equity awards granted to Valero employees were made under Valero’s 2005 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and 2003 Employee Stock Incentive Plan. Certain Valero employees supporting our operations were historically granted these types of awards. Stock-based compensation costs were allocated to us from Valero and were included in “cost of revenues (excluding depreciation expense) – related party” and “general and administrative expenses – related party.”

VALERO ENERGY PARTNERS LP
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Set forth on the following pages are the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , and for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015, and 2014, together with the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements, of Valero Energy Partners LP . Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, all references to the “Partnership,” “us,” “our,” “we,” or similar expressions refer to Valero Energy Partners LP , one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole. References in this report to “Valero” refer collectively to Valero Energy Corporation and its subsidiaries, other than Valero Energy Partners LP, any of its subsidiaries, or its general partner. The pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2017 , with certain pro forma adjustments made to those financial statements as further discussed below. The pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with such historical consolidated financial statements, including the related financial statement notes.

Effective November 1, 2017 , the Partnership entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Valero to acquire Parkway Pipeline LLC ( Parkway Pipeline ), a subsidiary of Valero. The Partnership acquired Parkway Pipeline for cash consideration of $200.0 million , which was funded with $35.0 million of our cash on hand and $165.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In addition, the board of directors of our general partner approved the Partnership’s entry into various agreements with Valero related to the purchase and sale agreement, including amended and restated schedules to our amended and restated omnibus agreement , amended and restated exhibits to an amended and restated services and secondment agreement , and an amendment of the existing transportation services agreement between Parkway Pipeline and Valero (the “Letter Amendment to Transportation Services Agreement”). The unaudited proforma consolidated financial statements include adjustments related to the acquisition of Parkway Pipeline .

Parkway Pipeline owns and operates a 141-mile, 16-inch refined petroleum products pipeline with 110,000 barrels per day of capacity that transports refined petroleum products from Valero’s St. Charles Refinery, in Norco, Louisiana to Collins, Mississippi for supply into the Plantation pipeline system.

The Partnership owns Parkway Pipeline and began receiving fees for services commencing on November 1, 2017 . Pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated services and secondment agreement , the Partnership reimburses Valero for the costs (including wages and benefits) of certain personnel who are seconded to our general partner and provide certain operational services to us in support of our pipeline, terminaling, and storage facilities, including Parkway Pipeline . Pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated schedules to our amended and restated omnibus agreement , the operational and administrative support fee owed by us to Valero increased from $12.5 million to $13.2 million annually as of November 1, 2017 for additional services provided in connection with the acquisition, of which $262,000 is associated with Parkway Pipeline .

The assets of Parkway Pipeline are recorded at historical cost as the acquisition is considered to be a reorganization of entities under common control. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions; therefore, actual results may differ from the pro forma amounts. However, our management believes the assumptions are reasonable for presenting the significant effects of the transactions and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions, are factually supportable, and are properly applied in the pro forma financial statements.

VALERO ENERGY PARTNERS LP
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


The pro forma adjustments have been prepared as if the transactions effected as of the date of the acquisition had taken place on June 30, 2017 in the case of the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet, and as of January 1, 2016 in the case of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 . Pro forma adjustments were not applied to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, as the presentation of pro forma transactions cannot meaningfully or accurately depict what operating results would have been had the acquisition occurred at a date earlier than January 1, 2016.

The pro forma financial statements give pro forma effect to the matters described in the accompanying notes, including:

the acquisition of Parkway Pipeline from Valero for cash consideration of $200.0 million , which was funded with $35.0 million of our cash on hand and $165.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility;

our entry into the Letter Amendment to Transportation Services Agreement with Valero , and the recognition of terminaling revenue under those schedules for the volumes throughput and handled by Parkway Pipeline during the periods presented;

our entry into amended and restated schedules to our amended and restated omnibus agreement with Valero ;

our general partner’s entry into amended and restated exhibits to an amended and restated services and secondment agreement with Valero;

the estimated interest expense that would have been incurred had we borrowed $165.0 million under the revolving credit facility; and

the increase in the deferred tax liability related to the associated adjustment for the tax basis in Parkway Pipeline partially offset by a reduction in the apportionment rate of the Texas margin tax.

The pro forma financial statements may not be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated, or the results that will be obtained in the future.

(a)
This adjustment reflects the following increases and decreases to cash:

Increases to cash : $165.0 million of proceeds from borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.

Decreases to cash : payment of $200.0 million as part of the total consideration for Parkway Pipeline and estimated transaction costs of $300,000 associated with the acquisition.

(b)
This adjustment reflects the capitalization of transaction costs associated with the acquisition. Because this acquisition is considered to be an asset acquisition under U.S. GAAP, capitalization of the related transaction costs is appropriate.

(c)
This adjustment reflects the elimination of liabilities that were retained by Valero in accordance with the purchase and sale agreement.

(d)
This adjustment reflects the change to revenues associated with Parkway Pipeline’s entry into the Letter Amendment to the Transportation Services Agreement with Valero, which reduced the minimum volume commitment under the agreement. Revenues were calculated using the minimum volume commitment in the amendment, which is lower than the historical commitment. Volumes used were the historical volumes transported with Parkway Pipeline.

(e)
This adjustment reflects the $165.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.

(f)
This adjustment reflects the increase in the deferred tax liability related to the associated adjustment for the tax basis in Parkway Pipeline partially offset by a reduction in the apportionment rate of the Texas margin tax.

(g)
This adjustment reflects the following increases to partners’ capital (in thousands):

 
 
Capital
Contribution
Common unitholder – Valero
 
$
41,886

General partner – Valero
 
1,276

Total
 
$
43,162


The capital contribution of $43.2 million is calculated as Valero ’s net investment in Parkway Pipeline of $239.3 million , net of the total consideration of $200.0 million paid by the Partnership for Parkway Pipeline , the elimination of accounts payable and taxes other than income taxes described in Note (c), and the increase in the deferred tax liability of $133,000 as described in Note (f).

(h)
This adjustment reflects the elimination of Valero ’s net investment in Parkway Pipeline , and the reclassification to partners’ capital of the capital contribution (see Note (g)).

VALERO ENERGY PARTNERS LP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)



(i)
This adjustment reflects depreciation expense of $5,000 and $9,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and for the year ended December 31, 2016 , respectively, related to the $300,000 in capitalized transaction costs associated with the acquisition.

(j)
This adjustment reflects a net decrease of $585,000 and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and for the year ended December 31, 2016 , respectively, to general and administrative expenses for the annual administrative fee payable by the Partnership to Valero in place of such expenses allocated to Parkway Pipeline . The annual administrative fee increased by $262,000 annually as of November 1, 2017 , for the management of our day-to-day operations after the closing of the acquisition under the amended and restated schedules to our amended and restated omnibus agreement . This adjustment results in a reduction in Parkway Pipeline’s general and administrative expenses because the incremental annual administrative fee is less than the expenses allocated to Parkway Pipeline on a standalone basis.

(k)
This adjustment reflects interest expense of $1.7 million and $2.6 million (using the actual variable interest rates of 2.22 percent and 1.76 percent) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and for the year ended December 31, 2016 , respectively, on the $165.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit agreement, partially offset by a reduction of $144,000 and $297,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and for the year ended December 31, 2016 , respectively, in the commitment fee for the unutilized portion of the revolving credit agreement. A change of 0.125 percent in the interest rate associated with the borrowings would result in a $206,000 change in annual interest expense.

(l)
This adjustment reflects the change in tax expense attributable to an adjustment in the apportionment rate of the Texas margin tax.

(m)
The purpose of this adjustment is to reflect our general partner’s interest in our net income. We compute net income allocated to the general partnership interest by applying the provisions of our partnership agreement as more fully described in Note (n).

(n)
We calculate net income available to limited partners based on the distributions pertaining to each period’s net income. After considering the appropriate period’s distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, are allocated to the general partner, limited partners, and other participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of our partnership agreement and as prescribed under the two-class method. Participating securities include incentive distribution rights (IDRs) and awards under our 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan that receive distribution equivalent rights. However, the terms of our partnership agreement limit the general partner’s incentive distribution to the amount of available cash, which, as defined in our partnership agreement, is net of reserves deemed appropriate. As such, IDRs are not allocated undistributed earnings or distributions in excess of earnings in the calculation of net income per limited partner unit. Diluted net income per limited partner unit is also determined using the two-class method, unless the treasury stock method is more dilutive.

Net losses of our predecessor are allocated to the general partner. Subsequent to the effective dates of the acquisitions from Valero, we calculate net income available to limited partners based on the methodology described above.

VALERO ENERGY PARTNERS LP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)



Basic and diluted net income per limited partner unit is determined pursuant to the two-class method for master limited partnerships. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that is used to determine earnings to our general partner, common unitholders, and participating securities according to (i) distributions pertaining to each period’s net income and (ii) participation rights in undistributed earnings.

The following reflects the calculation of pro forma net income per limited partner unit for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 in the manner described above (in thousands, except per unit amounts). All amounts, including distributions, are on a pro forma basis.
