Commercial Agreements
The Partnership has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with Delek under which we provide crude oil gathering, crude oil and refined products transportation and storage services and marketing and terminalling services to Delek. Each of these agreements include minimum quarterly volume or throughput commitments and have tariffs or fees indexed to inflation, provided that the tariffs or fees will not be decreased below the initial amount. Fees under each agreement are payable to us monthly by Delek or certain third parties to whom Delek has assigned certain of its rights. In most circumstances, if Delek or the applicable third party assignee fails to meet or exceed the minimum volume or throughput commitment during any calendar quarter, Delek, and not any third party assignee, will be required to make a quarterly shortfall payment to us equal to the volume of the shortfall multiplied by the applicable fee.
The tariffs, throughput fees and the storage fees under our agreements with Delek are subject to increase or decrease on July 1 of each year, by the amount of any change in the FERC oil pipeline index or, in the case of the east Texas marketing agreement, to the consumer price index and in the case of the El Dorado and Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets to other inflation based indexes; provided, however, that in no event will the fees be adjusted below the amount initially set forth in the applicable agreement.
We believe the terms and conditions under these agreements, as well as our other agreements with Delek described below, are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of our commercial agreements and other agreements with Delek. We entered into the following agreements with Delek in 2014:

El Dorado Throughput and Tankage Agreement. On February 10, 2014, in connection with the El Dorado Transaction, Lion Oil and OpCo, and, for limited purposes, J. Aron & Company ("J. Aron"), entered into the El Dorado Throughput and Tankage Agreement. Under the El Dorado Throughput and Tankage Agreement, OpCo will provide Lion Oil with throughput and storage services in return for throughput and storage fees. The initial term of the El Dorado Throughput and Tankage Agreement is eight years and Lion Oil, at its sole option, may extend the term for two renewal terms of four years each. Effective February 10, 2014, Lion Oil assigned J. Aron its rights to use and transport materials through the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets until the expiration of Lion Oil’s amended and restated supply and offtake agreement with J. Aron. Despite the assignment Lion Oil still retains certain rights and obligations under the Throughput and Tankage Agreement.
El Dorado Lease and Access Agreement. Lion Oil and OpCo entered into the El Dorado Lease and Access Agreement (the "El Dorado Lease"). Under the El Dorado Lease, OpCo leases from Lion Oil the real property on which the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets are located. The El Dorado Lease has an initial term of 50 years with automatic renewal for a maximum of four successive 10-year periods thereafter.
El Dorado Site Services Agreement. Lion Oil and OpCo entered into the El Dorado Site Services Agreement. Under the El Dorado Site Services Agreement, Lion Oil provides OpCo with shared use of certain services, materials and facilities that are necessary to operate and maintain the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets as currently operated and maintained. The term of the El Dorado Site Services Agreement is co-terminous with the El Dorado Lease discussed above.
Omnibus Agreement
The Partnership entered into an Omnibus Agreement with Delek, our general partner, OpCo, Lion Oil and certain of the Partnership’s and Delek’s other subsidiaries upon the completion of the Offering. In this Periodic Report on Form 10-Q, the Partnership refers to this Omnibus Agreement as the “Omnibus Agreement.” On July 26, 2013, in connection with the Tyler Acquisition, the Partnership entered into an amendment and restatement of the Omnibus Agreement (the “First Omnibus Amendment”). On February 10, 2014, in connection with the El Dorado Acquisition, the Partnership entered into a second amendment and restatement of the Omnibus Agreement (the “Second Omnibus Amendment”). The Second Omnibus Amendment includes the following, among other things: (i) certain modifications in the reimbursement by Delek and certain of its subsidiaries under the Omnibus Agreement for certain operating expenses and capital expenditures incurred by the Partnership or its subsidiaries, (ii) certain modifications of the indemnification provisions under the Omnibus Agreement in favor of the Partnership with respect to certain environmental matters, and (iii) the increase of the annual administrative fee payable by us to Delek under the Omnibus Agreement for corporate general and administrative services.
The annual administrative fee payable by the Partnership to Delek for corporate general and administrative services that Delek and its affiliates provide under the Second Omnibus Amendment increased from $3.0 million to $3.3 million, which is prorated and payable monthly.
Under the Second Omnibus Amendment, Delek has agreed to reimburse us for (i) certain expenses that we incur for inspections, maintenance and repairs to any storage tanks we acquired in the El Dorado Acquisition to cause such storage tanks to comply with applicable regulatory and/or industry standards, (ii) certain expenses that we incur for inspections, maintenance and repairs to any of the storage tanks contributed to us by Delek (subject to a deductible of $0.5 million per year) that are necessary to comply with the DOT pipeline integrity rules and certain American Petroleum Institute storage tank standards for a period of five years and (iii) certain non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures with respect to certain of our assets in excess of certain amounts, as disclosed in the full agreement filed with our Form 8-K dated February 14, 2014.
Predecessors' Transactions
Related-party transactions of the Predecessors were settled through division equity. Revenues from affiliates consist of revenues from gathering, pipeline transportation, storage, wholesale marketing and products terminalling services to Delek and its affiliates based on regulated tariff rates or contractually based fees.
Costs related specifically to us have been identified and included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Prior to the Offering and the Tyler and El Dorado Acquisitions, we were not allocated certain corporate costs. These costs were primarily allocated based on a percentage of salaries expense and property, plant and equipment costs. In the opinion of management, the methods for allocating these costs are reasonable. It is not practicable to estimate the costs that would have been incurred by us if we had been operated on a stand-alone basis.
Summary of Transactions
A summary of revenue and expense transactions with Delek, including expenses directly charged and allocated to our Predecessors, are as follows (in thousands):
