Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall HoldCo be obligated under this Agreement to indemnify (or be otherwise liable hereunder in any way whatsoever to) any of the MLP Indemnitees with respect to any matter for which MLP is liable, or for which DCP Services is entitled to indemnification, under the Original Agreements or the Services and Employee Secondment Agreement.

-42-

10.4. Notice of Asserted Liability; Opportunity to Defend.

(a) All claims for indemnification hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 10.4. Any Person claiming indemnification hereunder is referred to herein as the “Indemnified Party”, and any Person against whom such claims are asserted hereunder is referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(b) If any Claim is asserted against or any Loss is sought to be collected from an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness provide to the Indemnifying Party a Claim Notice. The failure to give any such Claim Notice shall not otherwise affect the rights of the Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder unless the Indemnified Party has proceeded to contest, defend or settle such Claim or remedy such Loss with respect to which it has failed to give a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party, but only to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. Additionally, to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby, the failure to provide a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability for such Claims and Losses that it may have to the Indemnified Party, but only to the extent the liability for such Claim or Loss is directly attributable to such failure to provide the Claim Notice.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the personal delivery or receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party (i) whether or not it disputes the liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to the Claim or Loss, and in the event of a dispute, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 11.9 hereof, (ii) in the case where Losses are asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party, whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall at its own sole cost and expense remedy such Losses or (iii) in the case where Claims are asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Party, whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall at its own sole cost and expense defend the Indemnified Party against such Claim; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to and during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party (and of which it shall have given notice and opportunity to comment to the Indemnifying Party) and not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party does not give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to contest and defend any such Claim described in Section 10.4(c)(iii) within the Notice Period, then the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party and shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection therewith.

(e) If the Indemnifying Party is obligated to defend and indemnify the Indemnified Party, and the Parties have a conflict of interest with respect to any such Claim, then the Indemnified Party may, in its sole discretion, separately and independently contest and defend such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with

-43-

respect thereto by the Indemnified Party and shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection therewith; provided, however, this Section 10.4(e) shall not apply to any claims with respect to Taxes.

(f) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it shall defend the Indemnified Party against a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend all appropriate Proceedings, and with counsel of its own choosing (but reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) and such Proceedings shall be promptly settled (subject to obtaining a full and complete release of all Indemnified Parties) or prosecuted by it to a final conclusion. If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement it may do so at its sole cost and expense. If the Indemnified Party joins in any such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have full authority to determine all action to be taken with respect thereto, as long as such action could not create a liability to any of the Indemnified Parties, in which case, such action would require the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party so affected.

(g) If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Claim and in making any counterclaim against the Third Person asserting the Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person, to the extent that such cooperation, counterclaim or cross-complaint could not materially prejudice or create a liability to any of the Indemnified Parties.

(h) At any time after the commencement of defense by the Indemnifying Party under Section 10.4(f) above of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party may request the Indemnified Party to agree in writing to the abandonment of such contest or to the payment or compromise by the Indemnifying Party of the asserted Claim, but only if (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to be solely liable for such Claim and (ii) such payment or compromise would not (A) include the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (B) result in a finding or admission of a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; whereupon such action shall be taken unless the Indemnified Party determines that the contest should be continued and notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing within fifteen (15) days of such request from the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party determines that the contest should be continued, the amount for which the Indemnifying Party would otherwise be liable hereunder shall not exceed the amount which the Indemnifying Party had agreed to pay to compromise such Claim; provided, that the other Person to the contested Claim had agreed in writing to accept such amount in payment or compromise of the Claim as of the time the Indemnifying Party made its request therefor to the Indemnified Party; and provided, further, that under such proposed compromise, the Indemnified Party would be fully and completely released from any further liability or obligation with respect to the matters which are the subject of such contested Claim.

10.5. Materiality Conditions. For purposes of determining whether an event described in this ARTICLE X has occurred for which indemnification under this ARTICLE X can be sought, any requirement in any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by HoldCo or MLP, as applicable, contained in this Agreement (other than in Sections 4.7(c), 4.8, 4.9, 4.18,

-44-

4.19, and 4.23) that an event or fact be “material,” or have a “Material Adverse Effect” or a “material adverse effect” (each, a “Materiality Condition”) in order for such event or fact to constitute a misrepresentation or breach of such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement, such Materiality Condition shall be disregarded and such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements shall be construed solely for purposes of this ARTICLE X as if they did not contain such Materiality Conditions. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.5, any claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE X will be subject to Section 10.3.

10.6. Exclusive Remedy. AS BETWEEN THE MLP INDEMNITEES AND THE HOLDCO INDEMNITEES, AFTER THE CLOSING, EXCEPT IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD (a) THE EXPRESS INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (OTHER THAN THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), AND (b) NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHTS AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSACTIONS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN OTHER THAN AS IS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.

10.7. Mitigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnified Party will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate all Losses related to a Claim, and shall provide such documentation of the nature and extent of the claim as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.

10.8. Limitation on Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL A PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, REMOTE, SPECULATIVE, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR LOSS OF PROFITS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF ANY OF THE HOLDCO INDEMNITEES OR MLP INDEMNITEES IS HELD LIABLE TO A THIRD PERSON FOR ANY SUCH DAMAGES AND THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY IS OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY SUCH HOLDCO INDEMNITEE OR MLP INDEMNITEE, AS APPLICABLE, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE MATTER THAT GAVE RISE TO SUCH DAMAGES, THEN THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR, AND OBLIGATED TO REIMBURSE SUCH HOLDCO INDEMNITEE OR MLP INDEMNITEE, AS APPLICABLE, FOR, SUCH DAMAGES.

10.10. Consideration Adjustment.

10.11. Payment. With respect to all payments required to be made by HoldCo to any Transferee pursuant to this ARTICLE X, HoldCo shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to pay any such amount in cash or in kind by delivering Common Units to such Transferee. If HoldCo elects to pay in kind any amount due from HoldCo to any Transferee hereunder, HoldCo will deliver to such Transferee a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (a) the amount of such payment, divided by (b) the VWAP over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date that such delivery of Common Units is made. “VWAP” shall mean the volume-weighted average price of a Common Unit as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page “DPM <equity> AQR” (or the equivalent successor if such page is not available), or, if Bloomberg ceases to publish such price, any successor service reasonably agreed by the Parties. If such per-Common Unit volume-weighted average price is unavailable or is manifestly incorrect, “VWAP” shall mean the market price of one Common Unit determined, using a per-Common Unit volume-weighted average method, by a nationally recognized investment banking firm reasonably acceptable to the Parties.

No waiver by a Party of any one or more conditions or defaults by the other Party in the performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any future condition or default, whether of a like or different character, nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided in such waiver.

11.6. Disclosure Schedules. Except with respect to any Schedule Updates, which are governed by Section 6.6, the disclosure of any matter in any section or subsection of the HoldCo Disclosure Schedule or the MLP Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Disclosure Schedules”), as applicable, shall be deemed to be a disclosure under the respective Disclosure Schedule for all purposes of this Agreement to which such matter could reasonably be expected to be pertinent. The mere disclosure of any matter or item on a Disclosure Schedule as an exception to any representation or warranty or otherwise shall not be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Parties, as applicable, or to otherwise imply, that any such item has had or is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise represents an exception or material fact, event or circumstance for the purposes of this Agreement, that such item meets or exceeds a monetary or other threshold specified for disclosure in this Agreement or that such item represents a determination that the transactions contemplated hereby require the consent of any Third Party. The sections or subsections of each Disclosure Schedule are arranged in sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections of this Agreement. Matters disclosed in any section or subsection of any of the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters that are required by this Agreement to be disclosed therein. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature or impose any duty or obligation to disclose any information beyond what is required by this Agreement, and disclosure of such additional matters shall not affect, directly or indirectly, the interpretation of this Agreement or the scope of the disclosure obligations hereunder. To the extent cross-references are set forth in any section or subsection of any of the Disclosure Schedules, such cross-references are intended solely for convenience and are by no means intended as a statement of limitation as to where disclosure is relevant or appropriate. The reference to any Contract or other documents or materials in any section or subsection of any of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to incorporate by reference, for all purposes set forth in this Section 11.6 and the remainder of this Agreement, all terms and conditions of, and schedules and annexes to, such Contract or other document to the extent made available, prior to the date of this Agreement, to the Transferee and their Representatives or HoldCo and its Representatives, as applicable. Headings inserted in the sections or subsections of any of the Disclosure Schedules are for convenience of reference only and shall to no extent have the effect of amending or changing the express terms of the sections or subsections as set forth in this Agreement.

11.7. Severability. Each term and provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable. If any term or provision hereof is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. If any provision hereof, or the application hereof to any Person or any circumstance, is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then (a) a suitable and equitable provisions shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be legal, valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, and (b) the remainder hereof and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability affect the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision or the application thereof in any other jurisdiction.

11.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. A signed copy of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document.

11.9. Governing Law, Dispute Resolution.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, enforced in accordance with, and interpreted under, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflict of laws rules or principles thereof that would direct the application of the Law of another jurisdiction.

(b) Negotiation. In the event of any Dispute, the Parties shall promptly seek to resolve any such Dispute by negotiations between senior executives of the Parties who have authority to settle the Dispute. When a Party believes there is a Dispute under this Agreement, then such Party will give the other Parties written notice of the Dispute. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the receiving Parties shall submit to the notifying Party a written response to such notice. Both the notice and the response to such notice shall include (i) a statement of each Party’s position and a summary of the evidence and arguments supporting such position, and (ii) the name, title, fax number and telephone number of the executive or executives who will represent the Party giving such notice or responding thereto. If the Dispute involves a claim arising out of the actions of any Person not a signatory to this Agreement, the receiving Party shall have such additional time as necessary, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, to investigate the Dispute before submitting a written response to such notice. The executives shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within fifteen (15) days after the date of the response and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the Dispute. If one of the executives intends to be accompanied at a meeting by an attorney, the other executive shall be given at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of such intention and may also be accompanied by an attorney.

(c) Failure to Resolve. If a Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days after the date of the response required to be given pursuant to Section 11.9(b), or such additional time, if any, that the Parties mutually agree to in writing, or if the Party receiving such

-48-

notice of a Dispute denies the applicability of the provisions of Section 11.9(b) or otherwise refuses to participate under the provisions of Section 11.9(b), then, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, either Party may pursue any remedies available to it at law or in equity.

(d) Forum; Venue; Submission to Jurisdiction. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be heard and determined exclusively in the United States federal courts for the Southern District of Texas sitting in Xxxxxx County, Texas; provided, however, that if such federal courts do not have jurisdiction over such action, suit or proceeding, such action, suit or proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state court sitting in Xxxxxx County, Texas. Consistent with the preceding sentence, each of HoldCo, MLP and OLP (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or Texas state court sitting in Xxxxxx County, Texas for the purpose of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby brought by any of them, (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such action, suit or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action, suit or proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts and (iii) irrevocably consents to and grants any such court exclusive jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 11.10 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
