For the avoidance of doubt, during the NGL Services Initial Term the provisions of Section 7.1(h) and Exhibit G-3 shall not be applicable hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to all periods prior to January 1, 2017, the definition of “System Services” and its constituent sub-definitions contained in the Original Agreement shall remain applicable hereunder. As of January 1, 2017, Provider does not own or Control any Tank Cars suitable to provide the Tank Car (NGL) Services with respect to Customer NGLs and the Parties acknowledge and agree that Provider shall have no obligation to provide the Tank Car (NGL) Services unless and until such time as Provider (x) determines, in its sole discretion, that it wishes to provide the Tank Car (NGL) Services hereunder, and (y) owns or Controls a number of Tank Cars as would be sufficient to provide such Tank Car (NGL) Services hereunder.

Section 3.2    Services Standard. Provider agrees to own (as applicable) and operate and maintain, or cause to be operated and maintained, at its sole cost, risk and expense, the Terminals System, the Provider Tank Cars and the other facilities, in each case, as are necessary to provide the System Services contemplated in this Agreement in accordance with the then-current Development Plan and Terminals System Plan and in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with standards customary in the industry.

Section 3.3    Exchange of Information. Each Party agrees to use its reasonable efforts to provide, on a timely basis, such information to the other Party as may be reasonably needed by such other Party to perform its obligations hereunder (including, in the case of Provider, to provide the System Services hereunder).

ARTICLE 4

DEDICATION OF PRODUCTION; PASS-THROUGH CONTRACTS

Section 4.1    Dedication.

(a)    Subject to the provisions of Section 4.1 through Section 4.4 and Article 17, Customer exclusively dedicates and commits to deliver to Provider at either a North Zone Receipt Point or a South Zone Receipt Point under this Agreement for the provision of all or a portion of the Crude Oil Services (to the extent Crude Oil Services beyond the initial Receipt Point are not required by Customer) all:

(i)    Customer Crude Oil formerly owned or Controlled by Producer and produced from those oil and gas properties located in the area described on Exhibit B-1 (such area, as the same may be modified from time to time by the Parties hereunder, the “Dedicated Area”) that are operated by Producer, or that are not operated by Producer but from which Producer has elected to take its applicable production in-kind (such Crude Oil, “Dedicated Producer Crude Oil”); and

(ii)    Customer Crude Oil that Customer owns or Controls through one of the contracts described on Exhibit B-2, which Exhibit shall be updated at least annually by the Parties as part of the Development Plan and Terminals System Plan processes pursuant to Article 5 (such contracts, the “Dedicated Contracts”). Pending any formal amendment of Exhibit B-2 to update the list of Dedicated Contracts contained thereon, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Customer’s delivery of Notice to Provider pursuant to Section 19.2 indicating Customer’s intent to dedicate a contract to Provider under this Agreement as a “Dedicated Contract” shall be sufficient to classify (A) such contract as a “Dedicated Contract” for all purposes hereunder until Exhibit B-2 is formally amended to include the same, and (B) all volumes owned or Controlled by Customer pursuant to such contract and delivered to Provider hereunder (to the extent such volumes were delivered from and after the last update of Exhibit B-2 and prior to the delivery of such written notice or after the delivery of such notice) as “Dedicated Crude Oil” for all purposes hereunder.

(b)    All Dedicated Producer Crude Oil and all Customer Crude Oil subject to a Dedicated Contract that (i) is not described in Section 4.1(c)(i), (ii) is not subject to a Conflicting Dedication, (iii) has not been released (either temporarily or permanently) from dedication pursuant to Section 4.3, and (iv) has not been reserved and utilized by Customer pursuant to Section 4.4, is referred to collectively hereunder as “Dedicated Crude Oil”.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i)    any Dedicated Producer Crude Oil that is produced from a well that was drilled and completed, and is operated, in each case, by a Non-Party that is not an Affiliate of Customer, shall not be considered “Dedicated Crude Oil” hereunder;

(ii)    no Dedicated Contract may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented by Customer such that the volume of Dedicated Crude Oil resulting therefrom would be materially reduced without the prior written consent of Provider, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that such restrictions shall not apply to (A) any termination or expiration of any such Dedicated Contract pursuant to its terms, or (B) the removal of any individual Well from the coverage of any such Dedicated Contract that, on average, produced less than 100 Barrels of Crude Oil a Month; and

(iii)    Customer shall have the option to utilize Tank Car (Crude Oil) Services or transport Dedicated Crude Oil from the Rail Loading Points using third party Tank Cars.

TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH TWO ASTERISKS (**).

 

Section 4.2    Conflicting Dedications. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Customer shall have the right to comply with each transportation agreement, terminal agreement, storage agreement, rail service agreement or any commitment or arrangement (including any volume commitment) that would require any Customer Crude Oil to utilize a terminal facility, pipeline system, storage facility or other similar systems or facilities other than the Terminals System (each, a “Conflicting Dedication”) that (a) is in effect as of January 1, 2017 and is described in Exhibit C, or (b) is applicable and in effect as of the date that Customer acquires Control of any Crude Oil that would qualify as Dedicated Crude Oil that was not under the Control of Customer as of January 1, 2017. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall have only the right to comply with the applicable Conflicting Dedication up to and until the first Day of the Month following the termination of such Conflicting Dedication (without giving effect to any right of Customer to renew or extend the term of such Conflicting Dedication). For the avoidance of doubt, any Customer Crude Oil that, but for a Conflicting Dedication, would be considered “Dedicated Crude Oil” hereunder, shall, automatically upon the termination of the applicable Conflicting Dedication, be considered “Dedicated Crude Oil” hereunder. As of January 1, 2017, Customer represents that, except as set forth in Exhibit C, the Dedicated Crude Oil is not subject to any Conflicting Dedication.

Section 4.3    Releases from Dedication.

(a)    If Provider has failed to complete the facilities necessary to connect a Planned Receipt Point to the Terminals System within 270 Days of the applicable Target Completion Date contained in the then-currently agreed Terminals System Plan, then, upon written Notice from Customer to Provider, the volumes of Dedicated Crude Oil applicable to such Planned Receipt Point shall be permanently released from the dedication under this Agreement and Customer may deliver and commit such Customer Crude Oil that was formerly Dedicated Crude Oil to such other terminal facility, pipeline system, storage facility, rail cars or other similar system or facilities as it shall determine in its sole discretion.

(b)    Certain Dedicated Crude Oil may also be temporarily released from dedication under this Agreement in the event of:

(i)    (A) Provider failing to complete the facilities necessary to connect a Planned Receipt Point to the Terminals System by the applicable Target Completion Date contained in the then-currently agreed Terminals System Plan, and (B) such failure causing there to be insufficient capacity on the Terminals System to accommodate the volumes of Dedicated Crude Oil and Customer NGLs contained in the applicable System Production Estimates applicable to such time;

(ii)    any curtailment or interruption of the System Services to be provided to Customer as set forth in Section 8.5(d) or in Section 1.5 of the Operating Terms;

(iii)    a material breach of this Agreement by Provider as provided in Section 13.1(b); or

(iv)    an order of a Governmental Authority causing the curtailment of System Services to Customer as provided in Section 8.2.

Section 4.4    Customers Reservations. Customer reserves the following rights respecting Dedicated Producer Crude Oil and all Customer Crude Oil subject to a Dedicated Contract for itself: to deliver or furnish to applicable operators such Customer Crude Oil as a reasonable and prudent operator would deem appropriate or necessary for production operations.

Section 4.5    Pass-Through Contracts. The Pass-Through Contracts existing on January 1, 2017 are set forth on Exhibit B-3 attached hereto. Customer shall have the right from time to time during the Term to propose additional Pass-Through Contracts under this Agreement by delivery of Notice to Provider pursuant to Section 19.2 indicating Customer’s intent to add a Pass-Through Contract to Exhibit B-3. Should (a) Provider consent to the addition of such contract as a Pass-Through Contract hereunder and (b) Exhibit B-3 be updated to reflect the addition of such Pass-Through Contract, then all volumes owned or Controlled by Customer pursuant to such contract and delivered to Provider hereunder (to the extent such volumes were delivered from and after the last update of Exhibit B-3 and prior to the delivery of such written notice or after the delivery of such notice) shall be deemed to be “Pass-Through Contract Crude Oil” for all purposes hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that any Exhibit update contemplated by this Section 4.5 shall not be considered (i) “administrative” in nature or (ii) of “de minimis economic effect”.

ARTICLE 14

FORCE MAJEURE

Section 14.1    Events of Force Majeure. An event of “Force Majeure” means, an event that (a) is not within the reasonable control of the Party claiming suspension (the “Claiming Party”), (b) that prevents the Claiming Party’s performance or fulfillment of any obligation of the Claiming Party under this Agreement (other than the payment of money), and (c) that by the exercise of due diligence the Claiming Party is unable to avoid or overcome in a reasonable manner. An event of Force Majeure includes, but is not restricted to: (i) acts of God; (ii) wars (declared or undeclared); (iii) insurrections, hostilities, riots, industrial disturbances, blockades or civil disturbances; (iv) epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, washouts, floods, fires, storms or storm warnings; (v) acts of a public enemy, acts of terror, or sabotage; (vi) explosions, breakage or accidents to machinery or lines of pipe; (vii) hydrate obstruction or blockages of any kind of lines of pipe; (viii) freezing of wells or delivery facilities, partial or entire failure of wells, and other events beyond the reasonable control of Customer that affect the timing of production or production levels; (ix) mining accidents, subsidence, cave-ins and fires; and (x) action or restraint by any Governmental Authority (so long as the Claiming Party has not applied for or assisted in the application for, and has opposed where and to the extent reasonable, such action or restraint). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an event of Force Majeure specifically excludes the following occurrences or events: (A) the loss, interruption, or curtailment of interruptible transportation on any Downstream Facility necessary to take delivery of Customer Hydrocarbons at any Delivery Point, unless and only to the extent the same event also curtails firm transportation at the same Delivery Point; (B) increases or decreases in Customer Hydrocarbon supply (other than any such increase or decrease caused by the actions described in subpart (x) above), allocation or reallocation of Customer Hydrocarbon production by the applicable well operators; (C) loss of markets; (D) loss of supply of equipment or materials; (E) failure of specific, individual wells or appurtenant facilities in the absence of an event of Force Majeure broadly affecting other wells in the same geographic area; and (F) price changes due to market conditions with respect to the purchase or sale of Hydrocarbons utilizing the System Services hereunder or the economics associated with the delivery, connection, receipt, gathering, compression, dehydration, treatment, processing or redelivery of such Hydrocarbons.

Section 14.2    Actions. If either Provider or Customer is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to carry out, in whole or part, its obligations under this Agreement and such Party gives Notice and reasonably full details of the event to the other Party as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the event, then, during the pendency of such Force Majeure, but only during that period, the obligations of the Party affected by the event shall be canceled or suspended, as applicable, to the extent required; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, neither Party shall be relieved from any indemnification obligation or any obligation to make any payments hereunder as the result of Force Majeure, regardless which Party is affected. The Party affected by Force Majeure shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the Force Majeure condition with all reasonable dispatch, shall give Notice to the other Party of the termination of the Force Majeure, and shall resume performance of any suspended obligation promptly after termination of such Force Majeure. If the Party affected by such Force Majeure is Customer and such Force Majeure is an event affecting a Delivery Point (but not all Delivery Points), such commercially reasonable efforts shall require, to the extent of capacity available to Customer at the applicable Downstream Facilities, Customer to Nominate Customer Hydrocarbons for redelivery at those Delivery Points not affected by such Force Majeure. For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent Provider is delayed in completing any Committed Build-Outs by a Force Majeure event, then the Target Completion Date applicable thereto shall be extended for a period of time equal to that during which such obligations of Provider were delayed by such events.

Section 14.3    Strikes, Etc. The settlement of strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of the Claiming Party, and any obligation hereunder to remedy a Force Majeure event shall not require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of the opposing Person(s) when such course is inadvisable in the sole discretion of the Claiming Party.

Should the Parties be unable to mutually agree, on or prior to such July 1 date, whether to extend all or a portion of the Temporary Release as of such time, the Parties shall utilize the executive negotiation provisions of Section 5.3(e) to resolve such dispute. If, following the implementation of the provisions of Section 5.3(e), (a) no agreement has been reached pursuant to Section 5.3(e) by December 31 of such Year, then the then-applicable Temporary Release shall automatically be extended for one additional year, or (b) it is determined that all or a portion of the Temporarily Release then-in effect should not be extended, then such portion(s) of the Temporary Release may not then be later extended in a subsequent Year.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Temporary Release does not affect any Customer Crude Oil formerly owned or Controlled by Producer and produced from those oil and gas properties located in the Excluded Fields that are not operated by Producer, but from which Producer has elected to take its applicable production in-kind.

The “Excluded Fields” are more particularly described below. The Excluded Fields referenced below are (i) field name references utilized by Producer and Customer and do not correlate to specific North Dakota Industrial Commission field names, and (ii) defined by the maps included on the following pages.

The Parties agree that, with respect to the Conflicting Dedications described above as numbers 2 and 4, Customer shall first utilize Barrels of Customer Crude Oil to meet such Conflicting Dedications that were formerly owned or Controlled by Producer and produced from those oil and gas properties located in the then-applicable Excluded Fields that are operated by Producer.

The Parties agree that, with respect to the Conflicting Dedication described above as number 4, Customer may only deliver volumes of Customer Crude Oil under such Conflicting Dedication from wells in the ** field that are not connected to the Terminals System via operational pipelines that are owned by an Affiliate of Provider at the time of production.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Customer Crude Oil subject to a Conflicting Dedication is, or shall be, included in any Dedicated Crude Oil Estimates contained in any Development Plan delivered by Customer hereunder while the applicable Conflicting Dedication is still in effect.

*The Parties have agreed that ** Conflicting Dedication may be extended beyond its current term for up to an additional ** years, resulting in a term ending as late as **.

FEE RECALCULATION MODEL

Original Methodology

 

    The fee recalculation model will include 20 Years of cash flows from 2014 to 2033 for Crude Oil Services and 10 Years of cash flows from 2014 to 2023 for NGL Services.

 

    The production profile used will be based on the Current Development Plan. To the extent appropriate, the production profile is adjusted by an operating factor of **% to reflect realistic operations. Further, the Current Development Plan will be adjusted to reflect major maintenance and turnarounds.

 

    Initial capital (opening balance) is based upon net book value as of December 31, 2013.

 

    From and after January 1, 2017 only, the NPV True-Up to be added in Year 2017 for Crude Oil Services only.

 

    Committed Build-Out Costs and Maintenance Capital Estimates are based on the Current Terminals System Plan.

 

    Operating Expense Estimates are derived from the Current Terminals System Plan.

 

    Includes projected public company and executive management costs allocated on a pro rata basis to the assets.

 

    Includes major maintenance and turnaround expenses

 

    Residual Value” equals (a) zero for Crude Oil Services and (b) (i) the sum of initial capital and Committed Build-Out Costs over the NGL Services Initial Term (10 years), multiplied by (ii) (A) one, minus (B) (y) the ratio of cumulative throughput from the Current Development Plan in the NGL Services Initial Term (10 years), divided by (z) the cumulative throughput from the Current Development Plan over the full plan period (20 years) for NGL Services. For the avoidance of doubt, when calculating the cumulative throughput in subparts (y) and (z) above, the actual throughput volumes shall be used for Years 2014, 2015 and 2016.

 

    The Return on Capital (unadjusted), using a mid-year convention, was utilized.

 

    Fees are expressed as an escalating $/Mcf or $/Barrel, as applicable, figure required to achieve the Return on Capital.

 

    Fees are escalated based on the average annual percentage change in the CPI for the 10 years prior to each Recalculation Election date and will be expressed on an annual basis in forward years.

 

    If applicable, pass-through costs (power and utilities, other) and market-based revenue streams

(compression fees, short-haul/injection fees, other) are set to offset costs to be recovered.

Redetermination Methodology

Each year, if a Recalculation Election is made pursuant to Section 7.1(f), the Fees will be recalculated to reflect:

 

    The enumerated items in Section 7.1(f)(i) through (xiv).

 

    For the avoidance of doubt, any Tank Car Acquisition Costs and Tank Car Acquisition Costs Estimates will be allocated between the Crude Oil Services and NGL Services recalculation models appropriately based on the actual or estimated costs for each type of Tank Cars (Crude Oil or NGL) so acquired (or planned to be acquired).

 

    Should Provider and its Affiliates receive any cash or non-cash consideration in respect of the sale or other disposition of any 1232 Cars (“1232 Consideration”), the value of any such 1232 Consideration shall be deducted from the Crude Oil Service recalculation model in the Year it is received, up to the amount of (a) actual Tank Car Acquisition Costs incurred between January 1, 2017 and the Year the 1232 Consideration is received less (b) any 1232 Consideration that has been deducted in prior Years. Any remaining 1232 Consideration shall be deducted in subsequent Years when further actual Tank Car Acquisition Costs are incurred, up to the amount of such costs.

 

    The present value of prior year(s) revenue and throughput will be subtracted from the “Required Cost Recovery” and “Escalating Tariff Throughput” (as each such term is used in the following example calculations) calculations so that the new Fees reflect costs to be recovered over the remaining Term coupled with expected throughput.

 

    Operating Expense Estimates based upon the latest updated Terminals System Plan for the applicable year and subsequent years. Prior year(s) operating expenses will not be trued-up to actuals.

 

    Projected public company and executive management costs allocated on a pro rata basis to the assets.

 

    Major maintenance and turnaround expenses not otherwise included in the above listed items.

 

    Any scheduled downtime of the Terminals System.

 

    Adjusted Residual Value based on latest Updated Development Plan.

 

    All other assumptions will be the same as the Original Methodology set forth above.

EXHIBIT G-3

NGL SERVICES SECONDARY TERM CALCULATIONS

Effective as of the first Year of the NGL Services Secondary Term, the NGL Fee shall be calculated in the following manner:

 

1. For the first Year of the NGL Services Secondary Term, the NGL Fee shall be an amount equal to the simple average of: (a) an amount equal to (i) the amount of such Fee for the eighth Year of the NGL Services Initial Term, increased by (ii) the percentage change in the CPI from the eighth Year of the NGL Services Initial Term to the first Year of the NGL Services Secondary Term, (b) an amount equal to (i) the amount of such Fee for the ninth Year of the NGL Services Initial Term, increased by (ii) the percentage change in the CPI from the ninth Year of the NGL Services Initial Term to the first Year of the NGL Services Secondary Term, and (c) an amount equal to (i) the amount of such Fee for the tenth Year of the NGL Services Initial Term, increased by (ii) the percentage change in the CPI from the tenth Year of the NGL Services Initial Term to the first Year of the NGL Services Secondary Term.

 

2. For each Year during the Term following the first Year of the NGL Services Secondary Term, the NGL Fee shall be an amount equal to: (a) the amount of such Fee for the immediately preceding Year (as calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(h)), increased by (b) the percentage change in the CPI from the then-immediately preceding Year to such current Year.

 

3. For purposes of determining the NGL Fee pursuant to this Exhibit G-3 during the NGL Services Secondary Term and thereafter (a) no increase to the NGL Fee resulting from any application of the CPI adjustment described above in subpart (2)(b) shall exceed 3.0% for any given Year, and (b) the NGL Fee shall not ever be decreased as a result of any application of the CPI adjustment described above in subpart (2)(b) to an amount less than the amount of such Fee as calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(h) for the prior Year.
