suffered, incurred by or asserted against any SHLX Indemnified Party as a result of or arising out of (a) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of the respective Shell Party in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document to which such Shell Party is or will be a party, (b) any Retained Liability and (c) any breach of any agreement or covenant on the part of the respective Shell Party made under this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document to which such Shell Party is or will be a party or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided however, that for purposes of determining the amount of any Damages suffered or incurred by the SHLX Indemnified Parties in respect of a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of SGOM or a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of SGOM, in each case, in respect of the business, operations, assets, liabilities or financial condition of Xxxxxx, SHLX’s acquisition of only 79% of the ownership interests in Xxxxxx shall be taken into account, such that the aggregate Damages described in this Section 11.1 suffered or incurred by the SHLX Indemnified Parties, would equal (where applicable) no more than 79% of the total of such Damages suffered by all owners in Xxxxxx, respectively.

Section 11.2 Indemnification of Shell Parties.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, following the Closing until the expiration of the applicable survival periods set forth in Section 11.3, the SHLX Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Shell Parties and their respective Affiliates (other than any of the SHLX Indemnified Parties) and their respective securityholders, directors, officers, agents, representatives and employees (the “Shell Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages imposed on, sustained, suffered, incurred by or asserted against the Shell Indemnified Parties as a result of or arising out of (a) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of a SHLX Party in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document to which such SHLX Party is or will be a party, (b) any Assumed Liability or (c) any breach of any agreement or covenant on the part of any SHLX Party made under this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document to which such SHLX Party is or will be a party or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the SHLX Parties shall have no obligation to indemnify any Shell Indemnified Party for any Damages suffered or incurred by the Shell Indemnified Parties resulting from or arising out of the Retained Liabilities.

Section 11.3 Survival.

All the provisions of this Agreement shall survive the Closing, notwithstanding any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of any party hereto, provided that the representations and warranties set forth in Article III, Article IV, Article V, Article VI and Article VII shall terminate and expire on the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, except (a) the representations and warranties of (i) SGOM set forth in Section 4.8 (Taxes), (ii) Shell Chemical set forth in Section 5.7 (Taxes), and (iii) SOPUS set forth in Section 6.7 (Taxes) shall survive until the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations (including all periods of extension and tolling); (b) the representations and warranties of (i) SGOM set forth in Section 4.9 (Environmental Matters), (ii) Shell Chemical set forth in Section 5.8 (Environmental Matters), and (iii) SOPUS set forth in Section 6.8 (Environmental Matters), shall terminate and expire on the third (3rd) anniversary of

the Closing Date; (c) the representations and warranties of (i) SPLC set forth in Section 3.1 (Organization), Section 3.2 (Authority and Approval) and Section 3.4 (Investment Intent), (ii) SGOM set forth in Section 4.1 (Organization), Section 4.2 (Authority and Approval), Section 4.4 (Capitalization; Title to Xxxxxx Subject Interests) and Section 4.12 (Brokerage Arrangements), (iii) Shell Chemical set forth in Section 5.1 (Organization), Section 5.2 (Authority and Approval), Section 5.4 (Title to Assets) and Section 5.12 (Brokerage Arrangements), and (iv) SOPUS set forth in Section 6.1 (Organization), Section 6.2 (Authority and Approval), Section 6.4 (Title to Assets) and Section 6.12 (Brokerage Arrangements), shall terminate and expire on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date; and (d) the representations and warranties of the SHLX Parties set forth in Section 7.1 (Organization and Existence), Section 6.2 (Authority and Approval), Section 7.4 (Valid Issuance of Consideration) and Section 7.5 (Brokerage Arrangements) shall terminate and expire on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date. After a representation and warranty has terminated and expired, no indemnification shall or may be sought pursuant to this Article XI on the basis of that representation and warranty by any Person who would have been entitled pursuant to this Article XI to indemnification on the basis of that representation and warranty prior to its termination and expiration, provided that in the case of each representation and warranty that shall terminate and expire as provided in this Section 11.3, no claim presented in writing for indemnification pursuant to this Article XI on the basis of that representation and warranty prior to its termination and expiration shall be affected in any way by that termination and expiration. The indemnification obligations under this Article XI or elsewhere in this Agreement shall apply regardless of whether any suit or action results solely or in part from the active, passive or concurrent negligence or strict liability of the indemnified party. The covenants and agreements entered into pursuant to this Agreement to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing forever.

Section 11.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The indemnified party hereunder agrees that within a reasonable period of time, but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article XI, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the indemnifying party, specifying the nature of, specific basis for such claim and the estimated amount of Damages imposed, sustained, incurred or asserted in connection therewith or arising therefrom (to the extent ascertainable). The failure to timely provide such written notice shall affect the rights of an indemnified party hereunder only to the extent that such failure has a material prejudicial effect on the defense or other rights available to the indemnifying party with respect to a third party claim.

(b) The indemnifying party shall have the right within the earlier of thirty (30) days following receipt of notice from the indemnified party of a proceeding for which such person may be entitled to indemnification hereunder and the fifth (5^th) day proceeding the date on which an appearance is required to be made before a court, arbitrator or other tribunal or an answer or similar pleading is required to be filed in a litigation proceeding to assume control of all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the indemnified party that are covered by the indemnification under this Article XI, including the selection of counsel, the determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such claim or any matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement

for only the payment of money shall be entered into without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless it includes a full release of the indemnified party from such claim; provided further, that no such settlement containing any form of injunctive or similar relief shall be entered into without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. Until the indemnifying party so assumes control of the defense of any such claims, the indemnified party or indemnified parties may control all aspects of the defense of any such claims.

(c) If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any claim in respect of which an indemnified party intends to or has asserted a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, then such indemnified party agrees to cooperate in good faith and in a commercially reasonably manner with the indemnifying party, with respect to all aspects of the defense of and pursuit of any counterclaims with respect to any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article XI, including the prompt furnishing to the indemnifying party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the indemnified party may receive, permitting the name of the indemnified party to be utilized in connection with such defense and counterclaims, the making available to the indemnifying party of any files, records or other information of the indemnified party that the indemnifying party considers relevant to such defense and counterclaims, the making available to the indemnifying party of any employees of the indemnified person and the granting to the indemnifying party of reasonable access rights to the properties and facilities of the indemnified party; provided, however, that in connection therewith the indemnifying party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the indemnified party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished by the indemnified party pursuant to this Section 11.4(c). The obligation of the indemnified party to cooperate with the indemnifying party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be construed as imposing upon the indemnified party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of and pursuit of any counterclaims with respect to any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article XI, provided, however, that if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of any claim, the indemnified party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense and counterclaims. The indemnifying party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the indemnified party informed as to the status of any such defense or counterclaim, but the indemnifying party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense and counterclaims so long as the indemnified party is still seeking indemnification hereunder.

(d) In determining the amount of any Damages for which the indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the indemnified person in respect of such Damages from third party insurers, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any expenses related to the receipt of such proceeds, including any premium adjustments that become due and payable by the indemnified party as a result of such claim, and (ii) all amounts recovered by the indemnified party in respect of such Damages under contractual indemnities from third persons.

Section 11.5 Direct Claim.

Any claim by an indemnified party with respect to any Damages which do not result from a claim for indemnity involving a third party (a “Direct Claim”) will be asserted by giving the indemnifying party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, stating the nature of such claim in reasonable detail and indicating the estimated amount, if practicable. The indemnifying party will have a period of ninety (90) days from receipt of such Direct Claim within which to respond to such Direct Claim. If the indemnifying party does not respond within such ninety (90) day period, the indemnifying party will be deemed to have accepted such Direct Claim. If the indemnifying party rejects such Direct Claim, the indemnified party will be free to seek enforcement of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 11.6 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) To the extent that SHLX Indemnified Parties would otherwise be entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 11.1(a), the Shell Parties shall be liable for Damages pursuant to Section 11.1(a) only if (i) the Damages with respect to any individual claim pursuant to Section 11.1(a) exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Minimum Claim Amount”) and (ii) the Damages for all claims pursuant to Section 11.1(a) (excluding any claim excluded pursuant to the preceding clause (i) of this Section 11.6(a)) exceed, in the aggregate, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Deductible Amount”), and then the applicable Shell Party shall be liable only for Damages pursuant to Section 11.1(a) to the extent of any excess over the Deductible Amount. In no event shall the Shell Parties’ aggregate liability to SHLX Indemnified Parties under (i) Section 11.1(a) exceed $120 million ($120,000,000) (the “Ceiling Amount”) or (ii) Section 11.1(b) exceed the Consideration amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shell Parties shall be liable for the full amount of any and all Damages, in each case without application of the Minimum Claim Amount, the Deductible Amount and the Ceiling Amount, arising out of (i) breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties contained in (1) with respect to SPLC, Section 3.1 (Organization), Section 3.2 (Authority and Approval) and Section 3.4 (Investment Intent), (2) with respect to SGOM, Section 4.1 (Organization), Section 4.2 (Authority and Approval), Section 4.4 (Capitalization; Title to Xxxxxx Subject Interests), Section 4.7(a) (No Adverse Changes), Section 4.8 (Taxes) and Section 4.12 (Brokerage Arrangements), (3) with respect to Shell Chemical, Section 5.1 (Organization), Section 5.2 (Authority and Approval), Section 5.4 (Title to Assets), Section 5.6(a) (No Adverse Changes), Section 5.7 (Taxes), and Section 5.12 (Brokerage Arrangements), and (4) with respect to SOPUS, Section 6.1 (Organization), Section 6.2 (Authority and Approval), Section 6.4 (Title to Assets), Section 6.6(a) (No Adverse Changes), Section 6.7 (Taxes), and Section 6.12 (Brokerage Arrangements); provided, that the Shell Parties’ aggregate liability for all claims under this Agreement, including for breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties contained in such sections described in this sentence and for breaches of covenants, shall not exceed the Consideration, absent fraud or willful misconduct; provided, further, however, that the payment and indemnification obligations of each Shell Party pursuant to Article IX shall not be subject to any limitation in this Section 11.6(a) and shall be excluded from the determination of whether the maximum indemnification amount specified in the immediately preceding proviso has been reached or exceeded.

(b) For purposes of determining the amount of Damages with respect to any asserted claim for indemnification by a SHLX Indemnified Party, such determination shall be made without regard to any qualifier as to “material,” “materiality” or SGOM Material Adverse Effect, Shell Chemical Material Adverse Effect or SOPUS Material Adverse Effect expressly contained in Article III, Article IV, Article V and Article VI, as applicable, provided that this Section 11.6(b) shall so modify the representations and warranties for purposes of first determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred.

(c) Additionally, none of SGOM, Shell Chemical or SOPUS, on the one hand, nor the SHLX Parties, on the other hand, will be liable as an indemnitor under this Agreement for any consequential, incidental, special, indirect or exemplary damages suffered or incurred by the indemnified party or parties except to the extent resulting pursuant to third party indemnity claims. No proviso of this Article XI shall apply to or limit any claim that a Party committed common law fraud or willful misconduct under Texas law involving any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, which may be brought at any time until lapse of the applicable statute of limitations provided by Texas law.

Section 11.7 Sole Remedy.

(k) Judgment upon any award and/or order may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Section 13.5 Governing Law.

Section 13.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers.

(a) This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, read as a whole, set forth the parties’ rights, responsibilities and liabilities with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, benefits or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or transferred, by operation of law or otherwise, by any party hereto without the prior written consent of each other party. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights, benefits or obligations hereunder, except for express language with respect to SHLX Indemnified Parties and the Shell Indemnified Parties contained in the indemnification provisions of Article XI.

Section 13.10 Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement is rendered or declared illegal or unenforceable by reason of any existing or subsequently enacted legislation or by decree of a court of last resort, the parties hereto shall promptly meet and negotiate in good faith substitute provisions for those rendered or declared illegal or unenforceable so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, but all of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 13.11 Interpretation.

It is expressly agreed by the parties that this Agreement shall not be construed against any party, and no consideration shall be given, or presumption made, on the basis of who drafted this Agreement or any provision hereof or who supplied the form of this Agreement. Each Party agrees that this Agreement has been purposefully drawn and correctly reflects its understanding of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, therefore, waives the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

Section 13.13 Multiple Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
