1. Business and Basis of Presentation

BP Midstream Partners LP (either individually or together with its subsidiaries, as the context requires, the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed on May 22, 2017 by BP Pipelines (North America) Inc. (“BP Pipelines”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BP p.l.c. (“BP”), a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, all references to “we,” “our,” “us,” or similar expressions refer to the legal entity BP Midstream Partners LP. The term “our Parent” refers to BP Pipelines; any entity that wholly owns BP Pipelines, indirectly or directly, including BP and BP America Inc. (“BPA”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BP; and any entity that is wholly owned by the aforementioned entities, excluding BP Midstream Partners LP.

Business

BP Midstream Partners LP is a master limited partnership formed by BP Pipelines to own, operate, develop and acquire pipelines and other midstream assets. The Partnership's assets consist of interests in entities that own crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent pipelines and refined product terminals serving as key infrastructure for BP and other customers to transport onshore crude oil production to BP’s refinery in Whiting, Indiana (the “Whiting Refinery”) and offshore crude oil and natural gas production to key refining markets and trading and distribution hubs. Certain assets deliver refined products and diluent from the Whiting Refinery and other U.S. supply hubs to major demand centers.

As of September 30, 2020, the Partnership's assets consisted of the following:

BP Two Pipeline Company LLC, which owns the BP#2 crude oil pipeline system (“BP2”).
BP River Rouge Pipeline Company LLC, which owns the Whiting to River Rouge refined products pipeline system (“River Rouge”).
BP D-B Pipeline Company LLC, which owns the Diamondback diluent pipeline system (“Diamondback”). BP2, River Rouge, and Diamondback, together, are referred to as the "Wholly Owned Assets".
28.5% ownership interest in Mars Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Mars”), which owns a major corridor crude oil pipeline system in the Gulf of Mexico. 
65% ownership interest and 100% managing member interest in Mardi Gras Transportation System Company, LLC ("Mardi Gras"), which holds the following investments in joint ventures located in the Gulf of Mexico:
56% ownership interest in Caesar Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Caesar”),
53% ownership interest in Cleopatra Gas Gathering Company, LLC (“Cleopatra”),
65% ownership interest in Proteus Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Proteus”), and,
65% ownership interest in Endymion Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Endymion”).
Together Endymion, Caesar, Cleopatra and Proteus are referred to as the “Mardi Gras Joint Ventures.”
22.7% ownership interest in Ursa Oil Pipeline Company, LLC ("Ursa").
25% ownership interest in KM Phoenix Holdings, LLC ("KM Phoenix").

We generate a majority of revenue by charging fees for the transportation of crude oil, refined products and diluent through our pipelines under agreements with minimum volume commitments ("MVC"). We do not engage in the marketing and trading of any commodities. All operations are conducted in the United States, and all long-lived assets are located in the United States. Partnership operations consist of one reportable segment.

Certain Partnership businesses are subject to regulation by various authorities including, but not limited to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). Regulatory bodies exercise statutory authority over matters such as common carrier tariffs, construction, rates and ratemaking and agreements with customers.

Basis of Presentation

Condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These rules and regulations conform to the accounting principles contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification, the single source of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, included herein, are unaudited. These financial statements include all known accruals and adjustments necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair presentation of our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Unless otherwise specified, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "Partnership's 2019 10-K").

Partnership financial position, results of operations and cash flows consist of consolidated BP Midstream Partners LP activities and balances. All intercompany accounts and transactions within the financial statements have been eliminated for all periods presented.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Partnership's 2019 10-K.

2. Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue over time or at a point in time, depending on the nature of the performance obligations contained in the respective contract with customers. A performance obligation is our unit of account and it represents a promise in a contract to transfer goods or services to the customer. The contract transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. The following is an overview of our significant revenue stream, including a description of the respective performance obligations and related methods of revenue recognition.

Pipeline Transportation

Revenue from pipeline transportation is comprised of tariffs and fees associated with the transportation of liquid petroleum products, generally at published tariffs and in certain instances, revenue from MVC contracts at negotiated rates. Tariff revenue is recognized either at the point of delivery or at the point of receipt, pursuant to specifications outlined in the respective tariffs. We record revenue for crude oil, refined products and diluent transportation during the period in which they are earned (i.e., either physical delivery of product has taken place or the services designated in the contract have been performed). Partnership services are typically billed on a monthly basis, and we generally do not offer extended payment terms. We accrue revenue based on services rendered but not billed for that accounting month.

Billings to BP Products North America Inc. ("BP Products") for deficiency volumes under its MVCs, if any, are recorded as deferred revenue and credits, a contract liability, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as BP Products has the right to make up the deficiency volumes within the measurement period specified by the agreements. Deferred revenue under these arrangements is recognized into revenue once it is deemed remote that the customer will meet its required annual MVC. If the customer does satisfy its minimum volume commitment by shipping the deficiency volumes within the same calendar year, it may receive a refund of excess payments.

We recognized $5.1 million and $11.1 million of deficiency revenue under the throughput and deficiency agreements with BP Products for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. We recognized $2.4 million of deficiency revenue under the throughput and deficiency agreements with BP Products for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Allowance Oil

The tariff for crude oil transportation at BP2 includes a fixed loss allowance (“FLA”). An FLA factor per barrel, a fixed percentage, is a separate fee that is considered a part of the transaction price under the applicable crude oil tariff to cover

BP MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LP  
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
evaporation and other losses in transit. The amount of revenue recognized is a product of the quantity transported, the applicable FLA factor and the settlement price during the month the product is transported.

We recognized revenue of $1.6 million and $3.9 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, related to the FLA arrangements with our Parent. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized revenue of $2.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively, related to FLA arrangements with our Parent.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended
September 30,
2020 2019 2020 2019
Transportation services revenue - third parties $ 0.6  $ 0.7  $ 2.4  $ 2.2 
Transportation services revenue - related parties 33.1  33.9  93.5  91.2 
    Total revenue $ 33.7  $ 34.6  $ 95.9  $ 93.4 

Future Performance Obligations

The values in the table below represent the fixed portion of the MVC arrangements with our existing customer contracts, summarized as future performance obligations as of September 30, 2020. The unfulfilled performance obligations included in the table below are expected to be recognized in revenue in the specified periods:
As of September 30, 2020
Remainder of 2020 $ 28.9 
2021 1.7 
     Total $ 30.6 

See Note 13 - Subsequent Events for additional information on new MVC arrangements.

Contract Balances

Contract assets and contract liabilities are the result of timing differences between revenue recognition, billings and cash collections. Contract liabilities or deferred revenue and credits primarily relate to consideration received from customers for temporary deficiency quantities under minimum volume contracts that the customer has the right to make up in a future period, which we subsequently recognize as revenue or amounts we credit back to the customer in a future period.

The following table provides information about receivables from contracts with customers, contract assets and contract liabilities:
September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019
Receivables from contracts with customers - third parties $ 0.2  $ 0.6 
Receivables from contracts with customers - related parties 10.7  11.3 
Deferred revenue and credits - related parties 1.6  1.5 

3. Equity Method Investments

We account for ownership interests in Mars, the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures, Ursa, and KM Phoenix using the equity method for financial reporting purposes. Financial results include the Partnership's proportionate share of Mars, the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures, Ursa and KM Phoenix, which is reflected in Income from equity method investments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We did not record any impairment loss on equity method investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

6. Debt

On February 24, 2020, we entered into a $468 million Term Loan Facility Agreement ("term loan") with an affiliate of BP. On March 13, 2020, proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the existing credit facility ("credit facility"). Please refer to Note 9 - Debt in the Partnership's 2019 10-K for further details. The term loan has a final repayment date of February 24, 2025, and provides for certain covenants, including the requirement to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio, which is calculated as total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, not to exceed 5.0 to 1.0, subject to a temporary increase in such ratio to 5.5 to 1.0 in connection with certain material acquisitions. Simultaneous with this transaction, we entered into the First Amendment to Short Term Credit Facility Agreement whereby the lender added a provision that indebtedness under both the term loan and the credit facility shall not exceed $600 million. All other terms of the credit facility remain the same. As of September 30, 2020, the Partnership was in compliance with the covenants contained in the term loan facility and the credit facility.

There were $468 million of outstanding borrowings under the term loan at September 30, 2020, and $468 million under the credit facility at December 31, 2019. Interest charges and fees were $1.5 million and $7.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Interest charges and fees related to the credit facility were $4.1 million and $12.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Indebtedness under the term loan bears interest at the 3-month LIBOR plus 0.73%. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the weighted average interest rate for the term loan and the credit facility was 1.18% and 1.91%, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the weighted average interest rate for the credit facility was 3.25%. The credit facility includes customary fees, including a commitment fee of 0.10% and a utilization fee of 0.20% per annum.

7. Related Party Transactions

Related party transactions include transactions with our Parent and its affiliates, including those entities in which our Parent has an ownership interest but over which it does not have control. In addition to the MVC and FLA arrangements discussed in Note 2 - Revenue Recognition and the credit facility and term loan in Note 6 - Debt, we have entered into the following transactions with related parties:

Omnibus Agreement

The Partnership has entered into an omnibus agreement with BP Pipelines and certain of its affiliates, including BP Midstream Partners GP LLC (our "General Partner"). This agreement addresses, among other things, (i) the Partnership's obligation to pay an annual fee for general and administrative services provided by BP Pipelines and its affiliates, (ii) the Partnership's obligation to reimburse BP Pipelines for personnel and other costs related to the direct operation, management and maintenance of the assets and (iii) the Partnership's obligation to reimburse BP Pipelines for services and certain direct or allocated costs and expenses incurred by BP Pipelines or its affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

BP Pipelines will indemnify us for all known and certain unknown environmental liabilities that are associated with the ownership or operation of Partnership assets and due to occurrences on or before October 30, 2017, subject to certain limitations. Specifically, under our omnibus agreement, indemnification for any unknown environmental liabilities was limited to liabilities due to occurrences on or before October 30, 2017, which were identified prior to October 30, 2020. We continue to maintain indemnification by our general partner for matters previously discovered. To the extent that unknown environmental liabilities arise relating to prior ownership, the Partnership will be liable.

Further, the omnibus agreement addresses the granting of a license from BPA to the Partnership with respect to use of certain BP trademarks and trade name.

Related Party Revenue

We provide crude oil, refined products and diluent transportation services to related parties and generate revenue through published tariffs. We have commercial arrangements with BP Products that include MVCs. See Note 10 - Related Party Transactions in the Partnership's 2019 10-K for further discussion regarding these agreements.

Revenue from related parties was $33.1 million and $93.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $33.9 million and $91.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

We recognized $5.1 million and $11.1 million of deficiency revenue under the throughput and deficiency agreements with BP Products for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. We recognized $2.4 million of deficiency revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Partnership recorded $1.6 million and $1.5 million in Deferred revenue and credits on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Related Party Expenses

All employees performing services on behalf of Partnership operations are employees of our Parent. Our Parent also procures insurance policies on our behalf and performs certain general corporate functions for us related to finance, accounting, treasury, legal, information technology, human resources, shared services, government affairs, insurance, health, safety, security, employee benefits, incentives, severance and environmental functional support. Personnel and operating costs incurred by our Parent on our behalf are included in either Operating expenses – related parties or General and administrative – related parties in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, depending on the nature of the service provided.

We paid our Parent an annual fee of $13.6 million in 2019 in the form of monthly installments under the omnibus agreement for general and administrative services provided by our Parent and its affiliates. The annual fee was adjusted to $15.2 million per year, payable in equal monthly installments, beginning on January 1, 2020. During the second quarter of 2020, our Parent agreed to adjust the fee payable under the Omnibus Agreement back to the 2019 annual fee, beginning in the second quarter, prorated for the remainder of 2020 due to the ongoing economic effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic. A new fee will be in place for 2021. We also reimburse our Parent for personnel and other costs related to the direct operation, management and

maintenance of the assets and services and certain direct or allocated costs and expenses incurred by our Parent or its affiliates on our behalf pursuant to the terms in the omnibus agreement.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded the following amounts for related party expenses, which also included the expenses related to share-based compensation discussed below:

Share-based Compensation

Our Parent operates share option plans and equity-settled employee share plans. These plans typically have a three-year performance or restricted period during which the units accrue net notional dividends, which are treated as having been reinvested. Leaving employment will normally preclude the conversion of units into shares, but special arrangements apply for participants that leave for qualifying reasons.

Share-based compensation related to the employees of our Parent who provide services to us is charged to the Partnership pursuant to the terms of the omnibus agreement. The Partnership also issued its own unit-based compensation under a long-term incentive plan. See Note 11 - Unit-Based Compensation.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests consist of the 35% ownership interest in Mardi Gras held by our Parent at September 30, 2020 and 2019. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests is the product of the non-controlling interests ownership percentage and the net income of Mardi Gras. We report Non-controlling interests as a separate component of equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and Net income attributable to non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Earnings in excess of distributions are allocated to the limited partners based on their respective percentage interests. Payments made to the Partnership’s unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of net income per unit.

In addition to the common and subordinated units, the Partnership also identified the incentive distribution rights ("IDRs") currently held by the General Partner as a participating security and uses the two-class method when calculating the net income

per unit applicable to limited partners that is based on the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period.

When calculating basic earnings per unit under the two-class method for a master limited partnership, net income for the current reporting period is reduced by the amount of available cash that will be distributed to the General Partner and limited partners for that reporting period. The following tables show the allocation of net income to arrive at net income per limited partner unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

9. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

The carrying value of borrowings under the term loan as of September 30, 2020, and the credit facility as of December 31, 2019, approximate fair value as the interest rates are reflective of market rates.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Partnership is a party to ongoing legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. For each outstanding legal matter, if any, we will evaluate the merits of the case, exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe the results of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Indemnification

Under an omnibus agreement, our Parent will indemnify us for certain environmental liabilities, litigation and other matters attributable to the ownership or operation of assets prior to Partnership ownership. For the purposes of determining the indemnified amount of any loss suffered or incurred by the Partnership, the Partnership’s ownership of 28.5% in Mars, and 65% in Mardi Gras, and Mardi Gras’ 56% ownership in Caesar, 53% ownership in Cleopatra, 65% ownership in Endymion and 65% ownership in Proteus will be considered. Indemnification for certain identified environmental liabilities is subject to a cap of $25 million without any deductible. Other matters covered by the omnibus agreement are subject to a cap of $15 million and an aggregate deductible of $0.5 million before we are entitled to indemnification. Indemnification for any unknown environmental

(in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
liabilities is limited to liabilities due to occurrences prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering ("IPO") and that are identified before the third anniversary of the closing of the IPO.

The Interest Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of our Parent and the Partnership. Our Parent, on the one hand, and the Partnership, on the other hand, have agreed to indemnify each other and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and other representatives against certain losses, including those resulting from any breach of their representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Interest Purchase Agreement, subject to certain limitations and survival periods. This agreement covers the Partnership’s ownership of 22.7% in Ursa and 25% in KM Phoenix.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. We record provisions for environmental liabilities based on management’s best estimates, using all information that is available at the time. In making environmental liability estimations, we consider the material effect of environmental compliance, pending legal actions against us and potential third-party liability claims. Often, as the remediation evaluation and effort progress, additional information is obtained, requiring revisions to estimated costs. We are indemnified by our Parent under the omnibus agreement against environmental cleanup costs for incidents that occurred prior to Partnership ownership. Revisions to the estimated environmental liability for conditions that are not indemnified under the omnibus agreement with our Parent are reflected in the Partnership's condensed consolidated statements of operations in the year in which they are probable and reasonably estimable.

We accrued $3.6 million and $3.7 million for environmental liabilities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These balances are broken down on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:
Balance sheet location September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019
Current portion of environmental remediation obligations Other current liabilities $ 0.4  $ 0.6 
Long-term portion of environmental remediation obligations Other liabilities 3.2  3.1 
   Total $ 3.6  $ 3.7 

The balances are related to incidents that occurred prior to our ownership and are entirely indemnified by our Parent. As a result, we recorded corresponding indemnification assets $3.6 million and $3.7 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These balances are broken down on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:
Balance sheet location September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019
Current portion of indemnification assets Other current assets $ 0.4  $ 0.6 
Non-current portion of indemnification assets Other assets 3.2  3.1 
   Total $ 3.6  $ 3.7 

Griffith Station Incident

On June 13, 2019, a building fire occurred at the Griffith Station on BP2. At June 30, 2020 we recorded $5.2 million under "Other current assets" on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We have received $1.3 million of insurance proceeds, leaving a balance of $3.9 million under "Other current assets" on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2020. The insurance receivable was recorded as $4.3 million under "Other current assets" and $0.7 million under "Other assets" on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. See Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Partnership's 2019 10-K for additional information.

11. Unit-Based Compensation

Long-Term Incentive Plan

On October 26, 2017, the General Partner adopted the BP Midstream Partners LP 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). Awards under the LTIP are available for eligible officers, directors, employees and consultants of the General Partner and its affiliates, who perform services for the Partnership. The LTIP allows the Partnership to grant unit options, unit appreciation rights, restricted units, phantom units, unit awards, cash awards, performance awards, distribution equivalent rights, substitute awards and other unit-based awards. The maximum aggregate number of common units that may be issued
17

BP MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LP  
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
pursuant to the awards granted under the LTIP shall not exceed 5,502,271, subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of unit splits and similar events.

Unit-Based Awards under the LTIP

The following is a summary of phantom unit award activities of the Partnership’s common units for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:
Phantom Units
Number of Units (in units) Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit (in dollars)
Outstanding at December 31, 2019 15,227  $ 16.64 
Granted 16,038  14.03 
Vested (15,227) 16.64 
Outstanding at September 30, 2020 16,038  $ 14.03 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, total compensation expense recognized for phantom unit awards were approximately $57 thousand and $176 thousand, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, total compensation expense recognized for phantom unit awards was approximately $64 thousand and $175 thousand, respectively. The unrecognized compensation cost related to phantom unit awards was approximately $90 thousand at September 30, 2020, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.4 years.

12. Variable Interest Entity

Mardi Gras is a Delaware limited liability company and a pass-through entity for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Mardi Gras holds equity interests in the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures and accounts for them as equity method investments. Mardi Gras does not have any other operations or activities. The remaining interests in each of the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures are owned by unaffiliated third-party investors. Each of the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures is managed by its respective management committee, and decisions made by these management committees require approval of two or more members that are not affiliates with equity interest holdings meeting certain thresholds.

We have 65% ownership interest and 100% managing member interest in Mardi Gras. The remainder of the economic interest in Mardi Gras was held 34% by BP Pipelines and 1% by an affiliate of BP. Through our managing member interest in Mardi Gras, we have the right to vote 100% of Mardi Gras’ interest in each of the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures. We determined that Mardi Gras is a variable interest entity because (i) we hold disproportional voting rights as compared to our economic interest in Mardi Gras, and (ii) substantially all of Mardi Gras’ activities involve or are conducted on behalf of our Parent, which holds disproportionately few voting rights.

The managing member interest in Mardi Gras provides us with the unilateral power to direct the activities of Mardi Gras that most significantly impact its economic performance including the right to exercise the voting rights of BP for each of the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures. In addition, our obligations to absorb the expected losses of and the right to receive the residual returns from Mardi Gras relative to our economic ownership is significant to Mardi Gras. As a result, we are the primary beneficiary of Mardi Gras and consolidate Mardi Gras.

We have the obligation to provide financial support to Mardi Gras if all members unanimously determine that additional capital contributions are necessary to fund Mardi Gras’ operations. The assets of Mardi Gras can only be used to satisfy its own obligations, which were zero at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Under the current limited liability company agreement of Mardi Gras, creditors of Mardi Gras, if any, do not have any recourse to the general credit of the Partnership.

The financial position of Mardi Gras at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, its financial performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, as reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, are as follows:

13. Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Based on this evaluation, it was determined that no subsequent events occurred, other than the items noted below, that require recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Distribution

On October 15, 2020, we declared a cash distribution of $0.3475 per limited partner unit to unitholders of record on October 29, 2020, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The distribution, combined with distributions to our General Partner, will be paid on November 12, 2020, and will total $37.6 million, with $16.6 million distributed to our non-affiliated common unitholders, and $21.0 million, including $1.2 million for IDRs distributed to our Parent in respect of its ownership of our common units, subordinated units and IDRs.

Throughput and Deficiency Agreements

On November 3, 2020, the Partnership entered into throughput and deficiency agreements with BP Products with respect to volumes transported on the following lines (i) BP2 crude oil pipeline system and related assets; (ii) River Rouge refined products pipeline system and related assets; and (iii) Diamondback diluent pipeline system and related assets. These new agreements have a term of three years beginning January 1, 2021 and expiring December 31, 2023. The Partnership has existing agreements on the same pipelines with BP Products that expire on December 31, 2020.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) includes various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, regarding Partnership's strategy, future growth, future operations, future actions, the continued effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic on demand, the effects of the continued volatility of commodity prices and the related macroeconomic and political environment, volumes, capital requirements, conditions or events, future operating results or the ability to generate sales, our potential exposure to market risks, statements relating to the expected amount of cash available for distribution and level of distributions, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected cost, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements.

When used in this Quarterly Report, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “target,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “would” or other similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. When considering forward-looking statements, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, under Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports and other cautionary statements contained in this filing.

We based forward-looking statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events and currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance as they involved assumptions that, while made in good faith, may prove to be incorrect, and involve risks and uncertainties we cannot predict. Accordingly, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what the Partnership has expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements may include statements about:
The decline in global crude oil demand and crude oil prices for an uncertain period of time that may lead to a significant reduction of domestic crude oil and natural gas production, which in turn could result in significant declines in the actual or expected volumes transported through our pipelines and/or the reduction of commercial opportunities that might otherwise be available to us.
Uncertainty regarding the easing of restrictions on various commercial and economic activities by applicable authorities, as well as the potential reinstatement of such restrictions, in response to the spread of COVID-19; such restrictions are designed to protect public health but also have the effect of significantly reducing demand for crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent.
Uncertainty regarding the future actions of foreign oil producers such as Saudi Arabia and Russia and the risk that they take actions that will prolong or exacerbate the current over-supply of crude oil.
Uncertainty regarding the timing, pace and extent of an economic recovery in the United States and elsewhere, which in turn will likely affect demand for crude oil and therefore the demand for the midstream services we provide and the commercial opportunities available to us.
The effect of an overhang of significant amounts of crude oil inventory stored in the United States and elsewhere and the impact that such inventory overhang ultimately has on our customers' operations as well as the timing of a return to market conditions that support increased drilling and production activities in the United States.
Our inability to perform our obligations under our contracts, whether due to non-performance by third parties, including our customers or counterparties, market constraints, third-party constraints, legal constraints (including governmental orders or guidance), or other factors.
The continued ability of BP and any non-affiliate customers to satisfy their obligations under commercial and other agreements and the impact of lower market prices for crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent including the ability to satisfy such obligations as they may be impacted by the effects of COVID-19.
The volume of crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent we transport or store and the prices that we can charge our customers.
The tariff rates with respect to volumes that we transport through our regulated assets, which rates are subject to review and possible adjustment imposed by federal and state regulators.
Changes in revenue that we realized under the fixed loss allowance provisions fees and tariffs resulting from changes in underlying commodity prices.
Fluctuations in the prices for crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent.
The level of onshore and offshore production and demand for crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent.
Our ability to successfully integrate recently acquired assets and realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions.
20



Changes in global economic conditions and the effects of a global economic downturn on the business of BP and the business of its suppliers, customers, business partners and credit lenders.
Liabilities associated with the risks and operational hazards inherent in transporting and/or storing crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent.
The impact of hurricanes and other severe weather disruptions to our offshore pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico.
Curtailment of operations or expansion projects due to unexpected leaks or spills; severe weather disruption; riots, strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; or failure of information technology systems due to various causes, including unauthorized access or attack.
The impact of current and future laws, rulings, governmental regulations, accounting standards and statements, and related interpretations.
Costs or liabilities associated with federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and safety, including spills, releases and pipeline integrity.
Costs associated with compliance with evolving environmental laws and regulations on climate change.
Costs associated with compliance with safety regulations and system maintenance programs, including pipeline integrity management program testing and related repairs.
Changes in tax status.
Changes in the cost or availability of third-party vessels, pipelines, rail cars and other means of delivering and transporting crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent.
Direct or indirect effects on our operations resulting from actual or threatened terrorist incidents or acts of war.
Changes in, and availability to us of the equity and debt capital markets.

Many of the foregoing risks and uncertainties are, and will be, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and any consequent worsening of the global business and economic environment. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that the Partnership or persons acting on the Partnership's behalf may issue.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, all references to “we,” “our,” “us,” refer to the legal entity BP Midstream Partners LP (the "Partnership"). The term “our Parent” refers to BP Pipelines (North America), Inc. (“BP Pipelines”), any entity that wholly owns BP Pipelines, indirectly or directly, including BP America Inc. and BP p.l.c. (“BP”), and any entity that is wholly owned by the aforementioned entities, excluding BP Midstream Partners LP.

The following management discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes in this quarterly report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "Partnership's 2019 10-K"). All amounts are in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Partnership Overview

We are a fee-based, growth-oriented master limited partnership formed by BP Pipelines, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BP, to own, operate, develop and acquire pipelines and other midstream assets. Partnership assets consist of interests in entities that own crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent pipelines and refined product terminals serving as key infrastructure for BP and other customers to transport onshore crude oil production to BP’s Whiting Refinery and offshore crude oil and natural gas production to key refining markets and trading and distribution hubs. Certain Partnership assets deliver refined products and diluent from the Whiting Refinery and other U.S. supply hubs to major demand centers.

21


As of September 30, 2020, the Partnership's assets consisted of the following:    
    
BP Two Pipeline Company LLC, which owns the BP#2 crude oil pipeline system (“BP2”).
BP River Rouge Pipeline Company LLC, which owns the Whiting to River Rouge refined products pipeline system (“River Rouge”).
BP D-B Pipeline Company LLC, which owns the Diamondback diluent pipeline system (“Diamondback”). BP2, River Rouge, and Diamondback together are referred to as the "Wholly Owned Assets".
28.5% ownership interest in Mars Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Mars”), which owns a major corridor crude oil pipeline system in the Gulf of Mexico. 
65% ownership interest and 100% managing member interest in Mardi Gras Transportation System Company, LLC (“Mardi Gras”), which holds the following investments in joint ventures located in the Gulf of Mexico:
56% ownership interest in Caesar Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Caesar”),
53% ownership interest in Cleopatra Gas Gathering Company, LLC (“Cleopatra”),
65% ownership interest in Proteus Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Proteus”), and,
65% ownership interest in Endymion Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Endymion”). Together Endymion, Caesar, Cleopatra and Proteus are referred to as the “Mardi Gras Joint Ventures.”
22.7% ownership interest in Ursa Oil Pipeline Company, LLC ("Ursa").
25% ownership interest in KM Phoenix Holdings, LLC ("KM Phoenix").

The Partnership generates a majority of revenue by charging fees for the transportation of crude oil, refined products and diluent through pipelines under long-term agreements with minimum volume commitments (“MVC”). We do not engage in the marketing and trading of any commodities. All operations are conducted in the United States, and all long-lived assets are located in the United States. Partnership operations consist of one reportable segment.

Certain Partnership businesses are subject to regulation by various authorities including, but not limited to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). Regulatory bodies exercise statutory authority over matters such as common carrier tariffs, construction, rates and ratemaking and agreements with customers.

Business Environment, Market Conditions and Outlook

The impact to the energy industry from both the recent swift and material decline in commodity prices and the global outbreak of COVID-19 have been unprecedented. Additionally, the operations of Mars, Ursa, Caesar, Proteus and Endymion, our offshore crude oil pipeline systems, and Cleopatra, our offshore natural gas pipeline (“Offshore Pipelines”), have been impacted by an elevated number of storms in the Gulf of Mexico during the third quarter. During 2020, there have been six named storms in the region, one in the second quarter and five in the third quarter. Although our assets have remained operational, the active storm season has negatively impacted our third quarter results, which we expect to continue into the fourth quarter. Management continues to monitor the challenging macro environment. For risks associated with these and other factors, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report.

Management continues to work closely with BP Pipelines, as operator of our assets under the Omnibus Agreement, to ensure appropriate practices are adopted for continued functioning of our assets as well as mitigation strategies for any office or worksite where COVID-19 may be detected.

COVID-19

In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak spread across the globe. Federal, state and local governments mobilized to implement containment mechanisms and minimize impacts to their populations and economies. Various containment measures, which included the quarantining of cities, regions and countries, have resulted in a significant drop in general economic activity and a resulting decrease in demand for petroleum and petroleum-based products.

In the second and third quarters of 2020, as COVID-19 appeared to decrease or stabilize in certain areas, certain local, regional and national authorities began to loosen such containment measures and restrictions in various locations in an effort to begin economic recovery, among other purposes. While this relaxation of containment measures initially led to an increased demand for petroleum and petroleum-based products through improved general economic conditions, there has also been a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the third quarter and continuing into October 2020 that resulted in the reinstatement of containment measures and restrictions, which could lower demand for petroleum and petroleum-based products.

Decline in Demand and Potential Impact to Our Operations

The unprecedented supply and demand dynamics created by demand decreases resulting from COVID-19 and supply increases resulting from recent periods of increased production by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other countries, including Russia ("OPEC+"), beginning in March 2020, have resulted in severe declines in commodity prices and created volatility, uncertainty, and turmoil in the oil and gas industry. Despite OPEC+ agreeing to cut production in April 2020, such production cuts have yet to offset the decrease in demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions. As a result, the price of oil has remained depressed, and available storage and transportation capacity for production have been limited. It is uncertain whether capital and production cuts will continue and, if so, whether they will be sufficient to offset the continued low demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Demand and prices may again decline due to the resurgence of the outbreak across the U.S. and other locations across the world and the related social distancing guidelines, travel restrictions, and stay-at-home orders, although the extent of the additional impact on our industry and our business cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we experienced a negative financial impact on our onshore pipelines as a result of reduced demand. The impacts of this as well as other operational drivers are offset by $11.1 million of deficiency revenue recorded under our MVCs on all onshore pipelines, which extend through December 31, 2020 (and for certain volumes on Diamondback through June 30, 2021). We could continue to experience a negative financial impact if volumes shipped on our pipelines remain below such minimum commitments beyond 2020 as a result of reduced consumer demand due to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As discussed in greater detail below under “Item 5—Throughput and Deficiency Agreements,” BP Products has executed new MVC agreements for an additional three years which continue to provide downside protection to the Partnership.

For our offshore joint ventures, we expect demand to be resilient, as offshore projects are larger capital projects planned over many years and less impacted by temporary changes in capital investment. We experienced a decline in volumes on our offshore pipelines during the second and third quarters; and such decline was primarily due to the short term weather impacts in the Gulf of Mexico and planned maintenance activities. To limit the impact of COVID-19, BP and our other customers, as well as third-party operators of our pipelines, have implemented various protocols for both onshore and offshore personnel; however, these may not prove to be successful. There is risk of decreased volumes with respect to our offshore operations if operators take actions to reduce operations in response to demand declines or increasingly limited storage availability or are unable to control COVID-19 infections on platforms and are required to shut-in. Additionally, we expect the shippers on our offshore pipelines to continue to find buyers for their production; however, they may not be successful.

We have taken steps and continue to actively work to mitigate the evolving challenges and continuing impact of both the COVID-19 pandemic and the industry downturn on our operations and our financial condition. We have also worked with BP Pipelines and the third-party operators of our assets to ensure that COVID-19 response and business continuity plans have been implemented across all of our assets and operations. BP employees, including BP Pipelines personnel, have been working from home since March 16, 2020, except those deemed critical to the functioning of owned and managed assets. For those that are critical and are required to be on-site, protocols have been implemented to protect those employees. Thus far, the need for BP employees to work remotely has not significantly impacted our operations, including use of financial reporting systems, nor has it significantly impacted our internal control environment. We have not incurred, and in the future do not expect to incur, significant expenses related to business continuity. However, our continuing operations and the management of the immediate and contingent safety measures would likely become increasingly difficult if a significant number of BP employees are infected by COVID-19 and the practical difficulties of social distancing impact productivity.

We also continue to monitor our liquidity position. As of September 30, 2020, we had available capacity of $132 million under our unsecured revolving credit facility with an affiliate of BP and $123.8 million cash; our only outstanding indebtedness is $468 million under the term loan, with no principal payments due until 2025. We experienced a decline in the price of our common units over the first nine months of 2020, a condition that is consistent across our sector and may impact our ability to access capital markets. We do not have any debt covenants or other lending arrangements that depend upon our unit price. We are in compliance with the covenants contained in both our revolving credit facility and term loan, both of which include the requirement to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio, which is calculated as total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, not to exceed 5.0 to 1.0, subject to a temporary increase in such ratio to 5.5 to 1.0 in connection with certain material acquisitions. Please see “Capital Resources and Liquidity” and Note 6 - Debt for additional information.

We are unable to reasonably predict when, or to what extent, demand for petroleum and petroleum-based products and the overall markets and global economy will stabilize, and the pace of any subsequent recovery for the oil and gas industry. Further, to what extent these events do ultimately impact our business, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations is highly uncertain and dependent on numerous evolving factors that cannot be predicted, including the duration of the pandemic.
23


As noted above, BP Pipelines and the third-party operators of our assets have taken steps and continue to actively work to mitigate the evolving challenges and continuing impact of both the COVID-19 pandemic and the industry downturn on our operations and financial condition. However, given the tremendous uncertainty and turmoil, there is no certainty that the measures we take will be ultimately sufficient.

Weather Impacts

The Atlantic hurricane season this year is nearing an all-time record in terms of the number of storms in a single season, and during the third quarter of 2020, the operations of our Offshore Pipelines were disrupted by multiple weather events in the Gulf of Mexico, including Hurricanes Laura and Sally. We estimate the quarterly gross impact on operations was in the range of 150,000 to 200,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day or $4 million to $5 million to our cash available for distribution, driven primarily by these weather events. Hurricanes Delta and Zeta in October 2020 are also expected to impact throughput on our Offshore Pipelines. Such events have been, and may in the future be material and may cause a serious business disruption or serious damage to our pipeline systems which could affect such systems’ ability to transport crude oil and natural gas.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Partnership management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing operating results and profitability and include: (i) safety and environmental metrics, (ii) revenue (including FLA) from throughput and utilization; (iii) operating expenses and maintenance spend; (iv) Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below); and (v) cash available for distribution (as defined below).

Preventative Safety and Environmental Metrics

We are committed to maintaining and improving the safety, reliability and efficiency of Partnership operations. As noted above, we have worked with BP Pipelines and the third-party operators of our assets to ensure that COVID-19 response and business continuity plans have been implemented across all of our assets and operations. We have implemented reporting programs requiring all employees and contractors of our Parent who provide services to us to record environmental and safety related incidents. The Partnership's management team uses these existing programs and data to evaluate trends and potential interventions to deliver on performance targets. We integrate health, occupational safety, process safety and environmental principles throughout Partnership operations to reduce and eliminate environmental and safety related incidents.

Throughput

We have historically generated substantially all of our revenue under long-term agreements or FERC-regulated generally applicable tariffs by charging fees for the transportation of products through our pipelines. The amount of revenue we generate under these agreements depends in part on the volumes of crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent on our pipelines.

Volumes on pipelines are primarily affected by the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent in the markets served directly or indirectly by Partnership assets. Results of operations are impacted by our ability to:

utilize any remaining unused capacity on, or add additional capacity to, Partnership pipeline systems;
increase throughput volumes on Partnership pipeline systems by making connections to existing or new third-party pipelines or other facilities, primarily driven by the anticipated supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent;
identify and execute organic expansion projects; and
increase throughput volumes via acquisitions.

In addition, substantially all of our aggregate revenue on BP2, River Rouge and Diamondback is supported by commercial agreements with BP Products. As described in further detail in “Item 5—Throughput and Deficiency Agreements,” on November 3, 2020, the Partnership entered into throughput and deficiency agreements with BP Products with respect to volumes transported on the following lines (i) BP2 crude oil pipeline system and related assets; (ii) River Rouge refined products pipeline system and related assets; and (iii) Diamondback diluent pipeline system and related assets. These new agreements have a term of three years beginning January 1, 2021 and expiring December 31, 2023. The Partnership has existing agreements on the same pipelines with BP Products that expire on December 31, 2020.


24


Storage Utilization

Storage utilization is a metric that we use to evaluate the performance of our storage and terminalling assets. We define storage utilization as the percentage of the contracted capacity in barrels compared to the design capacity of the tank.

Operating Expenses and Total Maintenance Spend

Operating Expenses

Management seeks to maximize profitability by effectively managing operating expenses. These expenses are comprised primarily of labor expenses (including contractor services), general materials, supplies, minor maintenance, utility costs (including electricity and fuel) and insurance premiums. Utility costs fluctuate based on throughput volumes and the grades of crude oil and types of refined products we handle. Other operating expenses generally remain relatively stable across broad ranges of throughput volumes but can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of activities performed during that period.

Total Maintenance Spend - Wholly Owned Assets

We calculate Total Maintenance Spend as the sum of maintenance expenses and maintenance capital expenditures, excluding any reimbursable maintenance capital expenditures. We track these expenses on a combined basis because it is useful to understanding total maintenance requirements. Total Maintenance Spend for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is shown in the table below:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2020 2019
(in millions of dollars)
Wholly Owned Assets
Maintenance expenses $ 2.2  $ 1.3 
Maintenance capital expenditures 1.5  0.4 
Maintenance capital recovery(1)
(0.7) — 
Total Maintenance Spend - Wholly Owned Assets $ 3.0  $ 1.7 
(1) Relates to the portion of maintenance capital for the Griffith Station Incident reimbursable by insurance.

The Partnership seeks to maximize profitability by effectively managing maintenance expenses, which consist primarily of safety and environmental integrity programs. We seek to manage maintenance expenses on owned and operated pipelines by scheduling maintenance over time to avoid significant variability in maintenance expenses and minimize impact on cash flows, without compromising our commitment to safety and environmental stewardship.

Maintenance expenses represent the costs we incur that do not significantly extend the useful life or increase the expected output of property, plant and equipment. These expenses include pipeline repairs, replacements of immaterial sections of pipelines, inspections, equipment rentals and costs incurred to maintain compliance with existing safety and environmental standards, irrespective of the magnitude of such compliance expenses. Maintenance expenses may vary significantly from period to period because certain expenses are the result of scheduled safety and environmental integrity programs, which occur on a multi-year cycle and require substantial outlays.

Maintenance capital expenditures represent expenditures to sustain operating capacity or operating income over the long term. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures include expenditures made to purchase new or replacement assets or extend the useful life of existing assets. These expenditures includes repairs and replacements of storage tanks, replacements of significant sections of pipelines and improvements to an asset’s safety and environmental standards.

Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for Distribution

The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, gain or loss from disposition of property, plant and equipment, and depreciation and amortization, plus cash distributed to the Partnership from equity method investments for the applicable period, less income from equity method investments. The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership as Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interests. We present these financial measures because we believe replacing our proportionate share of equity method investments’ net income with the cash received from such equity method investments more accurately reflects the cash flow from our business, which is meaningful to our investors.

We compute and present cash available for distribution and define it as Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership less maintenance capital expenditures attributable to the Partnership, net interest paid/received, cash reserves, income taxes paid and net adjustments from volume deficiency payments attributable to the Partnership. Cash available for distribution does not reflect changes in working capital balances.

Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures, which are metrics that management and external users of Partnership condensed consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:
operating performance as compared to other publicly traded Partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods;
ability to generate sufficient cash to support decisions to make distributions to our unitholders;
ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution are net income and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or net cash provided by operating activities.

Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA or cash available for distribution in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. Please read “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” section below for the reconciliation of net income and cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution.

Factors Affecting Our Business

Partnership business can be negatively affected by sustained downturns or slow growth in the economy in general and is impacted by shifts in supply and demand dynamics, the mix of services requested by the customers of our pipelines, competition and changes in regulatory requirements affecting our customers’ operations. For example, as discussed earlier, in March of 2020, the spot price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude declined over 50% in response to reductions in global demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic and announcements by Saudi Arabia and Russia of plans to increase crude oil production. In addition to the collapse and current volatility in oil prices, demand for many refined petroleum products has also declined sharply causing refineries to curtail output. The ultimate magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting governmental restrictions on the mobility of consumers and the related impact on crude oil prices and the U.S. and global economy and capital markets is uncertain. The uncertain future impacts of COVID-19 and swift shifts in the demand for oil may negatively impact our financial position, particularly our cash flows and liquidity. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, all of our assets remain operational. We did experience some negative financial impact through the third quarter which we expect to continue.

Customers

BP is our primary customer. Total revenue from BP represented 98.2% and 97.5% of our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Total revenue from BP represented 98.0% and 97.6% of our revenues for the
26


three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. BP’s volumes represented approximately 96.1% and 94.6% of the aggregate total volumes transported on the Wholly Owned Assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. BP’s volumes represented approximately 95.6% and 95.1% of the aggregate total volumes transported on the Wholly Owned Assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

In addition, we transport and store crude oil, natural gas and diluent for a mix of third-party customers, including crude oil producers, refiners, marketers and traders, and Partnership assets are connected to other crude oil, natural gas and diluent pipeline systems. In addition to serving directly connected Midwestern U.S. and Gulf Coast markets, our pipelines have access to customers in various regions of the United States and Canada through interconnections with other major pipelines. Customers use our transportation and terminalling services for a variety of reasons. Producers of crude oil require the ability to deliver their product to market and frequently enter into firm transportation contracts to ensure that they will have sufficient capacity available to deliver their product to delivery points with greatest market liquidity. Marketers and traders generate income from buying and selling crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent to capitalize on price differentials over time or between markets. Our customer mix can vary over time and largely depends on the crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent supply and demand dynamics in our markets.

Regulation

Interstate common carrier pipelines are subject to regulation by various federal, state and local agencies including the FERC, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation. On June 18, 2020, FERC issued a Notice of Inquiry requesting comments on a proposed oil pipeline index using the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods (PPI-FG) plus 0.09% as the index level, and requested comments on whether and how the index should reflect changes to FERC’s policies regarding income tax costs and return on equity. The Notice of Inquiry is subject to a comment period, after which FERC will issue a final oil pipeline index for the five-year period commencing July 1, 2021. FERC’s final application of its indexing rate methodology for the next five-year term of index rates may impact our revenues associated with any transportation services we may provide pursuant to rates adjusted by the FERC oil pipeline index. For more information on federal, state and local regulations affecting our business, see Part I, Item 1 and 2. Business and Properties in the Partnership's 2019 10-K.

Acquisition Opportunities

The Partnership plans to pursue acquisitions of complementary assets from BP as well as third parties subject to market conditions (including the ongoing effects of COVID-19) and our ability to obtain attractive financing. We may also pursue acquisitions jointly with BP Pipelines. BP Pipelines has granted us a right of first offer with respect to its retained ownership interest in Mardi Gras and all of its interests in midstream pipeline systems and assets related thereto in the contiguous United States and offshore Gulf of Mexico that were owned by BP Pipelines when we were established. Neither BP nor any of its affiliates are under any obligation, however, to sell or offer to sell us additional assets or to pursue acquisitions jointly with us, and we are under no obligation to buy any additional assets from them or to pursue any joint acquisitions with them. We will focus our acquisition strategy on transportation and midstream assets within the crude oil, natural gas and refined products sectors. We believe that we are well positioned to acquire midstream assets from BP, and particularly BP Pipelines, as well as third parties, should such opportunities arise. Identifying and executing acquisitions will be a key part of our strategy. However, if we do not make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, our future growth will be limited, and the acquisitions we do make may reduce, rather than increase, our available cash.

Financing

We expect to fund future capital expenditures primarily from external sources, including borrowings under our credit facility and potential future issuances of equity and debt securities.

We intend to make cash distributions to unitholders at a minimum distribution rate of $0.2625 per unit per quarter ($1.05 per unit on an annualized basis). Based on the terms of our cash distribution policy, we expect that we will distribute to unitholders and the General Partner, as the holder of IDRs, most of the cash generated by operations.

Griffith Station Incident

On June 13, 2019, a building fire occurred at the Griffith Station on BP2. At June 30, 2020 we recorded $5.2 million under "Other current assets" on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We have received $1.3 million of insurance proceeds, leaving a balance of $3.9 million under "Other current assets" on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2020. The insurance receivable was recorded as $4.3 million under "Other current assets" and $0.7 million under "Other assets"
27


on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. See Part II, Item 8, Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Partnership's 2019 10-K for additional information.

Results of Operations

The following tables and discussion contain a summary of condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

As mentioned above in Item 2 - COVID-19, through the third quarter of 2020, our financial condition and results of operations have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the current volatility and decline in commodity prices.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

Total revenue from wholly owned assets decreased by approximately $0.9 million or 2.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, due to the following factors:
Increase of $2.7 million from the recognition of deficiency revenue in current period.
Increase of $0.7 million or 6.9% in throughput revenue attributable to a 3.2% increase in throughput volume and a 3.6% increase in weighted average tariff rate from River Rouge.
Decrease of $3.2 million or 18.6% in throughput revenue attributable to a 20.2% decrease in throughput volume and a 2.0% increase in the weighted average tariff rate from BP2.
Decrease of $1.1 million or 41.9% in revenues from allowance oil primarily due to lower volume on BP2 and a lower realized price per barrel.
Throughput revenue, volume and average tariff rate were virtually flat on Diamondback.

Operating expenses decreased by $0.4 million or 7.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily attributable to decrease in energy costs due to lower volumes.

Income from equity method investments decreased by $2.5 million or 8.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in throughput volume and revenue originating from the Gulf of Mexico due to shut downs attributable to the hurricanes during the quarter. In addition, due to lower customer demand from COVID-19 impacts, income from KM Phoenix was lower for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Interest expense decreased by $2.3 million or 60.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, due to lower interest rates in the quarter from the term loan arrangement compared to the credit facility we had outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

29


Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Total revenue from wholly owned assets increased by approximately $2.5 million or 2.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, due to the following factors:

Increase of $8.7 million from the recognition of deficiency revenue in current period.
Increase of $0.7 million or 7.9% in throughput revenue attributable to a 4.9% increase in throughput volume and a 2.9% increase in the weighted average tariff rate from Diamondback.
Increase of $0.6 million or 2.1% in throughput revenue attributable to a 3.1% decrease in throughput volume that was partially offset by 5.4% increase in weighted average tariff rate from River Rouge.
Decrease of $3.9 million or 50.3% in revenue from allowance oil primarily due to lower volume on BP2 and a lower realized price per barrel.
Decrease of $3.6 million or 7.6% in throughput revenue attributable to a 10.7% decrease in throughput volume that was partially offset by 3.5% increase in the weighted average tariff rate from BP2.

Maintenance expenses increased by $0.9 million or 69.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to pipeline repairs completed in 2020.

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million or 3.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the increase was primarily from the increase in omnibus fee in first quarter.

Impairment expense decreased by $1.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as no impairment expenses were recognized in the current period.

Income from equity method investments increased by $2.4 million or 2.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to incremental throughput volume from Appomattox beginning in the first quarter of 2020, which transports volume through Proteus and Endymion.

Interest expense, net decreased by $4.5 million or 39.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily due to lower interest rates from the term loan arrangement compared to the credit facility we had outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests increased by $2.0 million or 15.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to the increase in earnings from the Mardi Gras investments in the period.

(2) Reflects cash reserved due to timing of interest payment(s).

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Currently, we expect our primary ongoing sources of liquidity to be cash generated from operations (including distribution from equity method investments), and, as needed, borrowings under our existing credit facility. The entities in which we own an interest may also incur debt. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements and long-term capital expenditure requirements and to make quarterly cash distributions. As of September 30, 2020, our liquidity was $255.8 million, consisting of $123.8 million of cash and $132 million available under our existing credit facility with BP. Our only debt outstanding is our $468 million borrowed under our term loan with an affiliate of BP, and there are no principal payments required with respect to that facility until 2025.

Through the third quarter of 2020, our financial condition and results of operations have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the current volatility and decline in commodity prices. The MVC agreements executed on November 3, 2020 provide downside protection to the Partnership albeit at a lower level than in prior years on BP2 and Diamondback. Additionally, there is risk of decreased volumes with respect to the offshore operations if operators take actions to reduce operations in response to demand declines or increasingly limited storage availability or are unable to control COVID-19 infections on platforms and are required to shut-in. In the longer term, if reduced demand were to persist through 2021 or longer, we may not be able to continue to generate similar levels of operating cash flow and our liquidity and capital resources may not be sufficient to make our current levels of cash distributions to unitholders or even meet our minimum quarterly distribution. Although we continue to actively work to mitigate the evolving challenges and growing impact of both the COVID-19 pandemic and the industry downturn on our operations and our financial condition, there is no certainty that the measures we take will be ultimately sufficient.

32


Cash Distributions

The board of directors of our General Partner has adopted a cash distribution policy pursuant to which we intend to pay a minimum quarterly distribution of $0.2625 per unit per quarter, which equates to approximately $27.5 million per quarter, or approximately $110 million per year in the aggregate, based on the number of common and subordinated units outstanding as of September 30, 2020. We intend to pay such distributions to the extent we have sufficient cash after the establishment of cash reserves and the payment of expenses, including payments to our General Partner and its affiliates.

On October 15, 2020, we declared a cash distribution of $0.3475 per limited partner unit to unitholders of record on October 29, 2020, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The distribution, combined with distributions to our General Partner, will be paid on November 12, 2020, and will total $37.6 million, with $16.6 million distributed to our non-affiliated common unitholders, and $21.0 million, including $1.2 million for IDRs distributed to our Parent in respect of its ownership of our common units, subordinated units and IDRs.

Revolving Credit Facility

On October 30, 2017, the Partnership entered into the $600 million unsecured credit facility with an affiliate of BP. The credit facility terminates on October 30, 2022, and provides for certain covenants, including the requirement to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio, which is calculated as total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit facility), not to exceed 5.0 to 1.0, subject to a temporary increase in such ratio to 5.5 to 1.0 in connection with certain material acquisitions. In addition, the limited liability company agreement of our General Partner requires the approval of BP Holdco prior to the incurrence of any indebtedness that would cause our leverage ratio to exceed 4.5 to 1.0.

The credit facility also contains customary events of default, such as (i) nonpayment of principal when due, (ii) nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts, (iii) breach of covenants, (iv) misrepresentation, (v) cross-payment default and cross-acceleration (in each case, to indebtedness in excess of $75 million) and (vi) insolvency. Additionally, the credit facility limits our ability to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional debt, (ii) redeem or repurchase units or make distributions under certain circumstances; and (iii) incur certain liens or permit them to exist. Indebtedness under this facility bears interest at the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.85%. This facility includes customary fees, including a commitment fee of 0.10% and a utilization fee of 0.20%.

In connection with our acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2018, we borrowed $468 million from the credit facility. This amount was outstanding at December 31, 2019, and repaid as of March 31, 2020.

Term Loan Facility Agreement

On February 24, 2020, the Partnership entered into a $468 million term loan with an affiliate of BP. On March 13, 2020, proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowings under our existing credit facility. Please refer to Note 9 - Debt in the Partnership's 2019 10-K for further details. The term loan has a final repayment date of February 24, 2025 and provides for certain covenants, including the requirement to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio, which is calculated as total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, not to exceed 5.0 to 1.0, subject to a temporary increase in such ratio to 5.5 to 1.0 in connection with certain material acquisitions. Simultaneous with this transaction, we entered into a First Amendment to Short Term Credit Facility Agreement whereby the lender added a provision that indebtedness under both the term loan and credit facility shall not exceed $600 million. All other terms of the credit facility remain the same. As of September 30, 2020, the Partnership was in compliance with the covenants contained in the term loan facility and the credit facility.

Cash Flows from Operations

Operating Activities. We generated $148.3 million and $142.3 million in cash flow from operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The $6.0 million increase in cash flows from operating activities resulted primarily from a $9.4 million increase due to an increase in operating income and a reduction in interest expense, a $0.7 million increase in working capital, partially offset by a net decrease of $3.1 million from equity method investments and the absence of a $1.0 million deductible from the Griffith Station Incident.

Investing Activities. Cash flow generated by investing activities was $6.7 million and $7.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The $1.2 million decrease in cash flow generated by investing activities was primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease in excess distributions from equity method investments and a $1.6 million increase in funds used for capital expenditures partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in proceeds from insurance claims from the Griffith Station Incident during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
33



Financing Activities. Cash flow used in financing activities was $130.0 million and $114.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The $15.2 million increase in the usage of cash for financing activities was due to increases related to distributions to unitholders and our General Partner of $13.9 million and to non-controlling interest of $1.3 million.

Capital Expenditures

Our operations can be capital intensive, requiring investment to expand, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. Capital requirements consist of maintenance capital expenditures and expansion capital expenditures, both as defined in our Partnership agreement. We are required to distinguish between maintenance capital expenditures and expansion capital expenditures in accordance with our Partnership agreement.

A summary of capital expenditures associated with ongoing projects related to the Wholly Owned Assets, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, is shown in the table below:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2020 2019
(in millions of dollars)
Cash spent on expansion capital expenditures $ 0.5  $ — 
Cash spent on maintenance capital expenditures 1.5  0.4 
Increase in accrued capital expenditures 1.3  0.2 
Total capital expenditures incurred $ 3.3  $ 0.6 

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes to contractual obligations as disclosed in the Partnership's 2019 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Partnership has not entered into any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that would result in off-balance sheet liabilities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Partnership's 2019 10-K.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Information about market risks for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A of the Partnership's 2019 10-K.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Partnership's management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Partnership's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2020.


34


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Partnership's system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership is a party to ongoing legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe the results of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the various agreements under which we acquired assets from BP since the IPO, BP will indemnify us for certain liabilities relating to litigation and environmental matters attributable to the ownership or operation of the acquired assets prior to our acquisition of those assets. Specifically, under our omnibus agreement, indemnification for any unknown environmental liabilities was limited to liabilities due to occurrences on or before October 30, 2017, which were identified prior to October 30, 2020. We continue to maintain indemnification by our general partner for matters previously discovered. To the extent that unknown environmental liabilities arise relating to prior ownership, the Partnership will be liable.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Partnership is subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of business. Security holders and potential investors in the Partnership's securities should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and set forth under “Risk Factors” in the Partnership's 2019 10-K.

Events outside of our control, including a pandemic such as the global outbreak of COVID-19, and the potential global recession could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak began to spread quickly across the globe. Federal, state and local governments mobilized to implement containment mechanisms and minimize impacts to their populations and economies. Various containment measures, which included the quarantining of cities, regions and countries have resulted in a severe drop in general economic activity and a decrease in energy demand. The risks associated with COVID-19 have also impacted the BP Pipelines workforce and the way we meet our business objectives.

The impacts of a global recession would likely extend the time for the current oil markets to absorb excess supplies and rebalance inventory resulting in decreased demand for our midstream services for a number of future quarters.

The current commodity price environment may remain depressed based on over-supply, decreasing demand and a potential global economic recession, as is evidenced by the current historically low prices in the forward curve for oil, for several years. With decreased demand and the storage and transportation constraints further adding to the pressure on commodities prices, refiners have curtailed output, and producers all over the world – including in the United States – have significantly decreased their capital programs and shut-in production. If these conditions persist beyond 2020, we could continue to see a significant decline in demand for our services with respect to our onshore pipelines if volumes shipped on such pipelines remain below the existing MVCs. The MVC agreements executed on November 3, 2020 provide downside protection to the Partnership albeit at a lower level than in prior years on BP2 and Diamondback.

In addition, it is possible that volumes may be reduced on our offshore pipelines as well, which are not covered by any MVCs. In the short term, there is risk of decreased volumes with respect to the offshore operations if operators take actions to reduce operations in response to demand declines or increasingly limited storage availability or are unable to control COVID-19 infections on platforms and are required to shut-in. In the longer term, there is risk that our customers cease investing in additional offshore projects in a protracted low commodity price environment, which would harm our growth. Our profitability may be significantly affected by this decreased demand and these factors could lead to reductions in our distributions to unitholders.

In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19 could potentially further impact the BP Pipelines workforce. The infection of key personnel, and/or the infection of a significant amount of the BP Pipelines workforce, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. BP employees have been working from home since March 16, 2020,
35


except those deemed critical to the functioning of owned and managed assets. A remote workforce could introduce risks to achieving business objectives and/or the ability to maintain our controls and procedures. For example, the technology required for the transition to remote work increases our vulnerability to cybersecurity threats, including threats of unauthorized access to sensitive information or to render data or systems unusable, the impact of which may have material adverse effects on our business and operations. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors - Terrorist or cyber-attacks and threats, or escalation of military activity in response to these attacks, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations” in the Partnership's 2019 10-K.

In addition to the risks stated above, our operations are subject to additional risks related to the current economic environment caused by the factors discussed above, including:

our debt service requirements and other liabilities, and restrictions contained in our debt agreements;
our ability to maintain sufficient cash available for distribution following the establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees and expenses, to enable us to pay minimum quarterly distributions to unitholders;
unavailability of third-party pipelines, production platforms, refineries, caverns and other facilities interconnected to our pipelines to transport, produce, refine or store crude oil, natural gas, refined products or diluent;
demand for refined products or diluent, continues to decrease; and
the risk of further adverse changes to BP’s production or development plans, which we are dependent on for a majority of the crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent that we transport

The impacts of COVID-19 and the significant drop in consumer demand has had an unprecedented impact on the global economy and our business. We are unable to predict all potential impacts to our business, the severity of such impacts or the duration.

Our environmental indemnification notification period has expired with our general partner.

Under our omnibus agreement, indemnification for any unknown environmental liabilities was limited to liabilities due to occurrences on or before October 30, 2017, which were identified prior to October 30, 2020. We continue to maintain indemnification by our general partner for matters previously discovered. To the extent that unknown environmental liabilities arise relating to prior ownership, the Partnership will be liable. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Hurricanes and other severe weather conditions, natural disasters or other adverse events or conditions could damage our pipeline systems or disrupt the operations of our customers, which could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

The operations of our Offshore Pipelines could be impacted by severe weather conditions or natural disasters, including hurricanes, or other adverse events or conditions. Additionally, such adverse events or conditions could impact our customers, and they may be unable to utilize our pipeline systems. The susceptibility of our assets to storm damage could be aggravated by wetland and barrier island erosion. In addition, neither we nor the entities in which we own an interest that own these offshore pipeline systems carry named windstorm insurance for any of our offshore pipeline systems. Weather-related risks could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue operations and on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

For example, during the third quarter of 2020, the operations of our Offshore Pipelines were disrupted by multiple weather events in the Gulf of Mexico, including Hurricanes Laura and Sally. We estimate the quarterly gross impact on operations was in the range of 150,000 to 200,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day or $4 million to $5 million to our cash available for distribution, driven primarily by these weather events. Hurricanes Delta and Zeta in October 2020 are also expected to impact throughput on our Offshore Pipelines. Such events have been, and may in the future be material and may cause a serious business disruption or serious damage to our pipeline systems which could affect such systems’ ability to transport crude oil and natural gas.

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Throughput and Deficiency Agreements

On November 3, 2020, the Partnership entered into throughput and deficiency agreements with BP Products with respect to volumes transported on the following lines (i) BP2 crude oil pipeline system and related assets; (ii) River Rouge refined
36



products pipeline system and related assets; and (iii) Diamondback diluent pipeline system and related assets (each a “Throughput and Deficiency Agreement” and collectively, the “Throughput and Deficiency Agreements”).

Pursuant to the Throughput and Deficiency Agreements, the Partnership will provide transportation services to BP Products, and BP Products will commit to pay the Partnership for minimum volumes of crude oil, refined products and diluent, regardless of whether such volumes are physically shipped by BP Products through the Partnership’s pipelines during the term of the agreements. BP Products will have the right to terminate these agreements if the Partnership fails to perform any of its material obligations and fails to correct such non-performance within specified periods, or in the event of a change of control of the Partnership’s general partner. A detailed description of each agreement is below:

BP2 Throughput and Deficiency Agreement. Under this agreement, if BP Products fails to transport its minimum throughput volume on our BP2 pipeline from Griffith, Indiana to the Whiting Refinery during any month through December 31, 2023, then BP Products will pay us a deficiency payment equal to the volume of the deficiency multiplied by the contractual rate, which is calculated based on the applicable tariff rate then in effect. The amount of any deficiency payment paid by BP Products under this agreement may be applied as a credit for any volumes transported on our BP2 pipeline in excess of BP Products’ minimum volume commitment during the calendar year in which such credits arose, after which time any unused credits will expire.

River Rouge Throughput and Deficiency Agreement. Under this agreement, if BP Products fails to transport its minimum throughput volume on River Rouge from Whiting, Indiana to various terminals along the pipeline during any month through December 31, 2023, then BP Products will pay us a deficiency payment equal to the volume of the deficiency multiplied by the contractual deficiency rate which is calculated based on the applicable tariff rates then in effect. The amount of any deficiency payment paid by BP Products under this agreement may be applied as a credit for any volumes transported on River Rouge in excess of BP Products’ minimum volume commitment during the calendar year in which such credits arose, after which time any unused credits will expire.

Diamondback Throughput and Deficiency Agreement. Under this Agreement, if BP Products fails to transport its minimum throughput volume on our Diamondback pipeline from Gary, Indiana to Manhattan, Illinois during any month through December 31, 2023, then BP Products will pay us, during such period, a deficiency payment equal to the volume of the deficiency multiplied by the contractual deficiency rate, which is calculated based on the applicable tariff rate then in effect. The amount of any deficiency payment paid by BP Products under this agreement may be applied as a credit for any volumes transported on our Diamondback pipeline in excess of BP Products’ minimum volume commitment during the calendar year in which such credits arose, after which time any unused credits will expire.

In addition, we currently are a party to two throughput and deficiency agreements with BP Products and one dedication agreement with a third-party for Diamondback. The dedication agreement with a third-party on Diamondback automatically renewed in 2020 and will now expire in June 2021. The throughput and deficiency agreement for Diamondback renewed in 2020 and will now expire in June 2021.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Throughput and Deficiency Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Disclosures Required Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

In accordance with our General Business Principles and Code of Conduct, we seek to comply with all applicable international trade laws including applicable sanctions and embargoes.

Under the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, and Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act, we are required to include certain disclosures in our periodic reports if we or any of our “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) knowingly engaged in certain specified activities during the period covered by the report. Because the SEC defines the term “affiliate” broadly, it includes any entity controlled by us as well as any person or entity that controls us or is under common control with us.

The disclosure below relates solely to activities conducted by non-U.S. affiliates of BP p.l.c. that may be deemed to be under common control with us. The disclosure does not relate to any activities conducted directly by us (including our subsidiaries and equity investments), or our general partner and does not involve our or the general partner’s management.

For purposes of this disclosure, we refer to BP p.l.c. and its subsidiaries other than us, the general partner and BP Midstream Partners Holdings LLC as the “BP Group.” References to actions taken by the BP Group mean actions taken by the applicable BP Group company. None of the payments disclosed below were made in U.S. dollars, however, for disclosure purposes, all
37



have been converted into U.S. dollars at the appropriate exchange rate. We do not believe that any of the transactions or activities listed below violated U.S. sanctions:

BP p.l.c. indirectly owns a 29.3% interest in Middle East Lubricants Company LLC (“Melubco”), a non-operated joint venture, manufacturing lubricants in the United Arab Emirates.

In November 2018, an Iranian shipping company brought a claim in Iran against a third party for non-payment of shipping fees and obtained a judgment in absentia with a US dollar equivalent value of approximately $60,000.

In November 2019, the Consulate General of The Islamic Republic of Iran in Dubai formally notified Melubco that the case had been filed against Melubco.

In May 2020, Melubco paid court filing fees to the Tehran Judicial Services Office with a US dollar equivalent value of approximately $2,694. The payment was required to appeal the judgment obtained in absentia, purportedly against Melubco.

Melubco refutes the claim on the basis that it has never contracted with or received any services from this shipping company.

In September 2020, the Division 15th Legal Court of Tehran held that the judgment in absentia had not been obtained against Melubco but against a different company (with a similar name), and therefore it could not be enforced against Melubco.

Exhibit 10.1

SHIPPER, reasonably exercised, to contest any such payment. In the event SHIPPER withholds any such payment, and it is determined that such withholding was wrongful, SHIPPER shall pay interest to the CARRIER on such monies wrongfully withheld at the Reference Rate; and
9.1.2 A failure by SHIPPER to observe and perform any material provision or covenant of this Agreement (other than the obligation to pay amounts when due as the result of same being covered by clause 9.1.1 above) to be observed or performed by SHIPPER where such failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the CARRIER to SHIPPER (the “SHIPPER Cure Period”).

11.3 Except for the payment of money due and payable hereunder, a delay in or failure of performance by any Party due to Force Majeure shall not constitute default, nor shall any Party to this Agreement be held liable for losses arising from such delay or failure to the extent such losses are due to Force Majeure. In the event CARRIER or SHIPPER is prevented or delayed in its performance obligations hereunder due to Force Majeure, then any such obligation deadline under this Agreement shall be extended by the period of any such Force Majeure, provided that the cause of the Force Majeure event is remedied with all reasonable dispatch and exigency.
11.4 It is the Parties’ intent that any delay in CARRIER or SHIPPER’s performance hereunder due to Force Majeure shall not exceed 365 consecutive days, and should a Party be rendered unable due to Force Majeure to perform its obligations contemplated hereunder for more than 365 consecutive days, then the other Party not so claiming non-performance due to Force Majeure may at its sole option terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other Party following 365 consecutive days of non-performance by such other Party due to Force Majeure, and both Parties shall be relieved of any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement except for payment obligations due and owing for any services previously rendered.

9.1.1 Any failure to make any payment required to be made by SHIPPER hereunder, where such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the CARRIER, subject to the right of SHIPPER, reasonably exercised, to contest any such payment. In the event SHIPPER withholds any such payment, and it is determined that such withholding was wrongful, SHIPPER shall pay interest to the CARRIER on such monies wrongfully withheld at the Reference Rate; and
9.1.2 A failure by SHIPPER to observe and perform any material provision or covenant of this Agreement (other than the obligation to pay amounts when due as the result of same being covered by clause 9.1.1 above) to be observed or performed by SHIPPER where such failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the CARRIER to SHIPPER (the “SHIPPER Cure Period”).
9.2     Events of Default by CARRIER. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a “CARRIER Event of Default”:
9.2.1 A failure by CARRIER to observe and perform any material provision or covenant of this Agreement to be observed or performed by the CARRIER where such failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from SHIPPER to the CARRIER; and

     10.    Remedies
10.1 In the case of a SHIPPER Event of Default, CARRIER shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and pursue any and all remedies available to it, whether at law or in equity, against SHIPPER, including without limitation, SHIPPER shall be liable for all prior and current shipments of Product during any period of default at the Contract Rate.
10.2 In the case of a CARRIER Event of Default or any Partnership Change of Control, SHIPPER shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and, in the case of a CARRIER Event of Default, pursue any and all remedies available to it, whether in law or in equity, against CARRIER.

It is understood and agreed the settlement of strikes or differences with workers shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party affected by the Force Majeure event.
11.2 In the event CARRIER is rendered unable by reason of Force Majeure to provide the transportation services contemplated hereunder, such obligations of CARRIER, insofar as they are prevented or curtailed by such Force Majeure, and SHIPPER’s obligations pursuant to Section 3.1 to either ship the Minimum Monthly Volume Requirement or make the appropriate Deficiency Payment, shall be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused, but for no longer period, and such cause shall so far as practicable be remedied with all reasonable dispatch and exigency. For the avoidance of doubt, in any event where the River Rouge Pipeline System
5



Exhibit 10.2
Execution Version
is no longer available for use, CARRIER shall not be required to furnish additional or alternate facilities, in which case SHIPPER shall not be obligated to make any further payments hereunder except for payments due and owing for transportation on the River Rouge Pipeline System previously rendered.
11.3 Except for the payment of money due and payable hereunder, a delay in or failure of performance by any Party due to Force Majeure shall not constitute default, nor shall any Party to this Agreement be held liable for losses arising from such delay or failure to the extent such losses are due to Force Majeure. In the event CARRIER or SHIPPER is prevented or delayed in its performance obligations hereunder due to Force Majeure, then any such obligation deadline under this Agreement shall be extended by the period of any such Force Majeure, provided that the cause of the Force Majeure event is remedied with all reasonable dispatch and exigency.
11.4 It is the Parties’ intent that any delay in CARRIER or SHIPPER’s performance hereunder due to Force Majeure shall not exceed 365 consecutive days, and should a Party be rendered unable due to Force Majeure to perform its obligations contemplated hereunder for more than 365 consecutive days, then the other Party not so claiming non-performance due to Force Majeure may at its sole option terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other Party following 365 consecutive days of non-performance by such other Party due to Force Majeure, and both Parties shall be relieved of any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement except for payment obligations due and owing for any services previously rendered.

     14.    Common Carrier; Compliance with Laws

If SHIPPER’s right under this Agreement to ship on the River Rouge Pipeline System during any Month is prorated under the terms and conditions of the applicable and valid Laws related to common carrier pipelines or the terms and provisions of the Tariff, then the Minimum Monthly Volume Requirement used in calculating any Deficiency Payment obligations for such Month shall be reduced by the number of Barrels prorated when such proration was in effect during the Month.
14.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Party shall continue to have any and all legal rights granted to it under applicable Law and FERC’s rules and regulations as in effect from time to time.
14.3 Both Parties shall, in carrying out the terms and provisions hereof, abide by all present and future applicable and valid Laws of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction.
14.4 If any part of this Agreement is found invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction or is in conflict with any such valid and applicable Law, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to appropriately amend this Agreement so that the revised Agreement accomplishes as nearly as possible the terms and conditions that existed under this Agreement upon the date of execution or most recent amendment without regard to the existence of said court order or legal conflict.

3.1 For each Month during the Term, as compensation for transportation of the Product along the D-B Pipeline System, SHIPPER agrees either to (a) ship at least the Minimum Monthly Volume Requirement through the D-B Pipeline System and to pay CARRIER for such shipments at a rate equal to the Contract Rate or (b) make the appropriate Deficiency Payment to the extent that SHIPPER’s Actual Shipments for any such Month do not equal or exceed the Minimum Monthly Volume Requirement. If, during any Month during the Term, CARRIER is unable to accept for transportation and delivery, within a reasonable period of time during such Month, reasonable bona fide tenders of Product by SHIPPER, or caused to be made by SHIPPER, due to lack of space in the D-B Pipeline System or any other cause, the volume of Product actually tendered by SHIPPER during such Month but which CARRIER is unable to accept shall be credited hereunder to SHIPPER’s Actual Shipments for purposes of determining any Deficiency Payments.
3.2 CARRIER shall invoice SHIPPER for any Deficiency Payment following the end of each Month that generated the Deficiency Payment. At the same time, CARRIER shall provide SHIPPER a written accounting that supports any invoice for a Deficiency Payment. SHIPPER shall make the Deficiency Payment pursuant to the
3



Exhibit 10.3
Execution Version
same payment terms as set forth in the Tariff with respect to payment of transportation fees. SHIPPER’s failure to make the required payment as set forth herein will be subject to the non-payment terms set forth in the Tariff.
3.3 Any Deficiency Payment paid by SHIPPER pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3 shall be considered by CARRIER as “Prepaid Shipments” during the calendar year the Deficiency Payment is made, such that at the end of each calendar year, such Prepaid Shipments shall be subject to True-Up by CARRIER. This Section 3.3 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
     4.    Term  
4.1 Subject to Section 11, SHIPPER’s and CARRIER’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall commence on the Startup Date and shall continue until 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2023 (the “Term”).
     5.    Tariffs
5.1 In consideration for SHIPPER committing to the Minimum Daily Volume Commitment for the Term, CARRIER, subject to this Section 5, will maintain the Tariff in effect during the Term.
(a) On the Startup Date, the Contract Rate will be set at 113.59 cents per Barrel.
(b) CARRIER intends to operate the D-B Pipeline System as a FERC-regulated pipeline, and notwithstanding anything contained herein, each Party shall continue to have any and all legal rights granted to it with respect to FERC rules and regulations as in effect from time to time. The rates set forth in the Tariff, including the Contract Rate, will be subject to adjustments in accordance with any FERC methodology then in effect, and in the event FERC ceases to be the adjusting authority or the methodology is changed, such adjustments, if any, shall be made under the successor entity or methodology.
     6.    Monthly Billings
6.1 CARRIER shall invoice SHIPPER monthly, and SHIPPER shall pay, for all Actual Shipments at the Contract Rate in accordance with the terms of the Tariff and this Agreement; provided that any invoicing and payment for any Deficiency Payment shall be as set forth in Section 3 hereof.
     7.    Audit Rights
7.1 SHIPPER shall, upon giving reasonable advance notice, have the right to audit, at its cost and expense and during ordinary business hours, the accounting records and other pertinent documents which relate to receipts or delivery of SHIPPER’s volumes, the calculation of any Deficiency Payments, and the determination of any Prepaid Shipments credited to SHIPPER hereunder. CARRIER shall retain these records and documents for a period of at least one year following expiration of the Term or such longer period as required by law.
     8.    Liability
8.1 Liability for any loss of or damage to the Product, or delay in transportation of the Product, shall be as set forth in and subject to the terms of the Tariff.
     9.    Events of Default
9.1     Events of Default by SHIPPER. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a “SHIPPER Event of Default”:  
9.1.1 Any failure to make any payment required to be made by SHIPPER hereunder, where such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the CARRIER, subject to the right of SHIPPER, reasonably exercised, to contest any such payment. In the event SHIPPER withholds any such payment, and it is determined that such withholding was wrongful, SHIPPER shall pay interest to the CARRIER on such monies wrongfully withheld at the Reference Rate; and
4



Exhibit 10.3
Execution Version
9.1.2 A failure by SHIPPER to observe and perform any material provision or covenant of this Agreement (other than the obligation to pay amounts when due as the result of same being covered by clause 9.1.1 above) to be observed or performed by SHIPPER where such failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the CARRIER to SHIPPER (the “SHIPPER Cure Period”).
9.2     Events of Default by CARRIER. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a “CARRIER Event of Default”:
9.2.1 A failure by CARRIER to observe and perform any material provision or covenant of this Agreement to be observed or performed by the CARRIER where such failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from SHIPPER to the CARRIER; and
9.2.2 The making by CARRIER of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the filing by or against CARRIER of a petition to have CARRIER adjudged bankrupt, or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against CARRIER, the same is dismissed within 60 days), or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession that is not restored to CARRIER within 30 days.
     10.    Remedies
10.1 In the case of a SHIPPER Event of Default, CARRIER shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and pursue any and all remedies available to it, whether at law or in equity, against SHIPPER, including without limitation, SHIPPER shall be liable for all prior and current shipments of Product during any period of default at the Contract Rate.
10.2 In the case of a CARRIER Event of Default or any Partnership Change of Control, SHIPPER shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and, in the case of a CARRIER Event of Default, pursue any and all remedies available to it, whether in law or in equity, against CARRIER.
     11.    Force Majeure
11.1 “Force Majeure” for purposes of this Agreement means (in each case, other than any payment obligations due and owing for any services previously rendered): (a) compliance with acts, orders, regulations, or requests of any federal, state, or local civilian or military authority, or any Person purporting to act therefor; (b) insurrections, wars, rebellion, riots, strikes, or labor difficulties; (c) action of the elements or accidental disruption or breakdown of production or transportation facilities; and (d) any other cause, whether or not of the same class or kind, beyond the reasonable control of a Party with the exercise of reasonable diligence and not resulting from the claiming Party’s negligence. It is understood and agreed the settlement of strikes or differences with workers shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party affected by the Force Majeure event.
11.2 In the event CARRIER is rendered unable by reason of Force Majeure to provide the transportation services contemplated hereunder, such obligations of CARRIER, insofar as they are prevented or curtailed by such Force Majeure, and SHIPPER’s obligations pursuant to Section 3.1 to either ship the Minimum Monthly Volume Requirement or make the appropriate Deficiency Payment, shall be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused, but for no longer period, and such cause shall so far as practicable be remedied with all reasonable dispatch and exigency. For the avoidance of doubt, in any event where the D-B Pipeline System is no longer available for use, CARRIER shall not be required to furnish additional or alternate facilities, in which case SHIPPER shall not be obligated to make any further payments hereunder except for payments due and owing for transportation on the D-B Pipeline System previously rendered.
11.3 Except for the payment of money due and payable hereunder, a delay in or failure of performance by any Party due to Force Majeure shall not constitute default, nor shall any Party to this Agreement be held liable for losses arising from such delay or failure to the extent such losses are due to Force Majeure. In the event CARRIER or SHIPPER is prevented or delayed in its performance obligations hereunder due to Force Majeure, then
5



Exhibit 10.3
Execution Version
any such obligation deadline under this Agreement shall be extended by the period of any such Force Majeure, provided that the cause of the Force Majeure event is remedied with all reasonable dispatch and exigency.
11.4 It is the Parties’ intent that any delay in CARRIER or SHIPPER’s performance hereunder due to Force Majeure shall not exceed 365 consecutive days, and should a Party be rendered unable due to Force Majeure to perform its obligations contemplated hereunder for more than 365 consecutive days, then the other Party not so claiming non-performance due to Force Majeure may at its sole option terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other Party following 365 consecutive days of non-performance by such other Party due to Force Majeure, and both Parties shall be relieved of any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement except for payment obligations due and owing for any services previously rendered.
     12.    Apportionment
12.1 Any prorationing of shipments for transportation on the D-B Pipeline System shall be as set forth in the Tariff, as may be further amended, modified, and superseded by CARRIER from time to time.
     13.    Sampling, Testing and Metering
13.1 All gauging, sampling, testing and metering of receipts from and deliveries to SHIPPER will be made in accordance with the Tariff. All Product delivered to CARRIER’s, or wholly owned subsidiary of CARRIER’s, receiving facilities on behalf of SHIPPER shall meet and be subject to the Tariff and CARRIER’s then-current operating requirements.
     14.    Common Carrier; Compliance with Laws
14.1 It is understood that the D-B Pipeline System will be operated as an interstate common carrier pipeline, and the Parties’ rights and obligations hereunder shall be subject to (a) all applicable and valid Laws related to common carrier pipelines and (b) the terms and provisions of the Tariff applicable to the transportation services provided hereunder. If SHIPPER’s right under this Agreement to ship on the D-B Pipeline System during any Month is prorated under the terms and conditions of the applicable and valid Laws related to common carrier pipelines or the terms and provisions of the Tariff, then the Minimum Monthly Volume Requirement used in calculating any Deficiency Payment obligations for such Month shall be reduced by the number of Barrels prorated when such proration was in effect during the Month.
14.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Party shall continue to have any and all legal rights granted to it under applicable Law and FERC’s rules and regulations as in effect from time to time.
14.3 Both Parties shall, in carrying out the terms and provisions hereof, abide by all present and future applicable and valid Laws of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction.
14.4 If any part of this Agreement is found invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction or is in conflict with any such valid and applicable Law, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to appropriately amend this Agreement so that the revised Agreement accomplishes as nearly as possible the terms and conditions that existed under this Agreement upon the date of execution or most recent amendment without regard to the existence of said court order or legal conflict.
     15.    Accurate Reporting
15.1 All financial settlements, billings, or reports rendered by either Party to the other under the terms of this Agreement and any amendments thereto will, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Party rendering such settlement, billing, or report, properly reflect the facts about all activities and transactions related to this Agreement, which data may be relied upon as being complete and accurate in any further recording and reporting made by such other Party for whatever purpose. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party at any time it has reason to believe that the above-mentioned data is no longer accurate and complete.

     17.    Assignment and Succession
17.1 The terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall extend to be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their respective successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives. No Party may make any assignment or other transfer of the rights and/or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, such approval to not be unreasonably withheld, except that such consent is not required in the event of an assignment: (i) by any Party, to the successor of such Party when such succession results by way of merger, consolidation, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets and business of such Party related to this Agreement (whether directly or indirectly), (ii) by SHIPPER, to an Affiliate of SHIPPER or (iii) by CARRIER, to an Affiliate of CARRIER. In the instance of any assignment permitted hereunder, the assignor shall be released of further liability hereunder only upon the execution of an assignment and assumption document reasonably acceptable to the other Parties. Any assignment or other transfer in contravention of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be void and of no force or effect.
     18.    Waiver
18.1 Any rights of either Party to require strict performance by the other Party of any and/or all obligations imposed on such Party by this Agreement shall not in any way be affected by previous waiver, forbearance or course of dealing.

     22.    Dispute Resolution
22.1 When a dispute has arisen and negotiations between regularly responsible Persons have reached an impasse, either Party may give the other Party written notice of the dispute. In the event such notice is given, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute promptly by negotiation between executives who have authority to settle the controversy and who are at a higher level of management than the Persons with direct responsibility for the matter. Within 30 days after delivery of the notice, the receiving Party shall submit to the other a written response. Thereafter, the executives shall confer in Person or by telephone promptly to attempt to resolve the dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one Party to the other shall be honored.
22.2 In the event the executives cannot resolve the dispute within 60 days after the receiving Party submits its written response pursuant to Section 22.1, the Parties may exercise any rights they have at law or in equity to resolve such claim, dispute or controversy, including bringing a claim in a court of competent jurisdiction.
