Commercial Agreements

The Partnership has a number of long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with Delek Holdings under which we provide various services, including crude oil gathering and crude oil, intermediate and refined products transportation and storage services, and marketing, terminalling and offloading services to Delek Holdings. Most of these agreements have an initial term ranging from five to ten years, which may be extended for various renewal terms at the option of Delek Holdings. The fees under each agreement are payable to us monthly by Delek Holdings or certain third parties to whom Delek Holdings has assigned certain of its rights and are generally subject to increase or decrease on July 1 of each year, by the amount of any change in various inflation-based indices, however, in no event will the fees be adjusted below the amount initially set forth in the applicable agreement. Under each of these agreements, we are required to maintain the capabilities of our pipelines and terminals, such that Delek Holdings may throughput and/or store, as the case may be, specified volumes of crude oil, intermediate and refined products.

See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more complete description of our material commercial agreements and other agreements with Delek Holdings.

Other Agreements with Delek Holdings

In addition to the commercial agreements described above, the Partnership has entered into the following agreements with Delek Holdings:

Omnibus Agreement

The Partnership entered into an omnibus agreement with Delek Holdings, our general partner, Delek Logistics Operating, LLC, Lion Oil Company, LLC and certain of the Partnership’s and Delek Holdings' other subsidiaries on November 7, 2012, which has been amended and restated from time to time in connection with acquisitions from Delek Holdings (collectively, as amended and restated, the "Omnibus Agreement"). The Omnibus Agreement governs the provision of certain operational services and reimbursement obligations, among other matters, between the Partnership and Delek Holdings, and obligates us to pay an annual fee of $4.3 million to Delek Holdings for its provision of centralized corporate services to the Partnership.

Pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement, we are reimbursed by Delek Holdings for certain capital expenditures. These amounts are recorded in other long-term liabilities and are amortized to revenue over the life of the underlying revenue agreement corresponding to the asset. There was no reimbursement by Delek Holdings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. We were reimbursed a nominal amount by Delek Holdings during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, with no such reimbursements during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, we are reimbursed or indemnified, as the case may be, for costs incurred in excess of certain amounts related to certain asset failures, pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no receivable from related parties for these matters. These reimbursements are recorded as reductions to operating expenses. There were no reimbursements for these matters in each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Other Transactions

The Partnership manages long-term capital projects on behalf of Delek Holdings pursuant to a construction management and operating agreement (the "DPG Management Agreement") for the construction of gathering systems in the Permian Basin. The majority of the gathering systems have been constructed, however, additional costs pertaining to a pipeline connection that was not acquired by the Partnership continue to be incurred and are still subject to the terms of the DPG Management Agreement. The Partnership is also considered the operator for the project and is responsible for oversight of the project design, procurement and construction of project segments and provides other related services. Pursuant to the terms of the DPG Management Agreement, the Partnership receives a monthly operating services fee and a construction services fee, which includes the Partnership's direct costs of managing the project plus an additional percentage fee of the construction costs of each project segment. The agreement extends through December 2023. Total fees paid to the Partnership were $0.4 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1.2 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are recorded in affiliate revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Additionally, the Partnership incurs the costs in connection with the construction of the assets and is subsequently reimbursed by Delek Holdings. Amounts reimbursable by Delek Holdings are recorded in accounts receivable from related parties.
