EXHIBIT
10.2
This
SHARED SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is
entered into on April 7, 2009, to be effective as of 11:59 PM CDT March 31, 2009
(the “Effective
Date”), by and between SemGroup Energy Partners, L.P., SemGroup Energy

SemPipe, L.P. (collectively, “Service Recipient”),

hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties” or
individually, as applicable, as the “Party.”
W
I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS,
Service Provider and Service Recipient have entered into a Master Agreement,
dated as of the date hereof (the “Master Agreement”),
pursuant to which, among other things, Service Provider will provide certain
services for Service Recipient’s crude related operations (the “Service Recipient
Business”);
WHEREAS,
after the date hereof, Service Recipient will operate the Service Recipient
Business independently of the Service Provider’s crude related operations (the
“Service Provider
Business”);
WHEREAS,
Service Recipient desires Service Provider to provide Service Recipient with
certain services related to the Service Recipient Business, which are more
particularly described on Exhibits A, B and C hereof (the “Services”);
and
WHEREAS,
the Parties desire to track shared overhead and operating services and expenses
in accordance with the terms hereof on a basis reasonably related to actual use
and cost of services rendered.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and
agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as
follows:
SECTION
1. DEFINITIONS.
Unless
otherwise expressly noted, the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder,” and words
of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any
particular section, subsection or clause of it, and references herein to an
exhibit, schedule, section, subsection, or clause shall refer to those of or in
this Agreement. The meanings of terms defined herein shall be equally
applicable to both the singular and plural forms of those terms.
SECTION
2. SERVICES.
(a) Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, during the Term (as hereinafter defined),
Service Provider shall provide to Service Recipient the Services set forth in
Exhibits A,
B and C
hereof.
(b) As may be
required or at its option, and after receiving the written consent of Service
Recipient, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
Service Provider may cause any Service outlined hereunder to be provided by any
third party (an “Outsourced
Service”). Service Recipient hereby consents to any Outsourced
Services that are in existence as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Service Provider will not be
responsible for the quality of any Outsourced Service so long as Service
Provider reasonably selects the provider of such Services. In the
event an Outsourced Service provider commits a breach of an Outsourced Service
agreement that has, or in the reasonable judgment of Service Recipient has the
potential to have, a material adverse impact on Service Recipient, Service
Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce any claims and
pursue any rights or remedies Service Provider may have against the Outsourced
Service provider for such breach or potential breach in the same manner with
which Service Provider seeks to enforce such a claim or pursue such rights or
remedies in respect of such a breach or potential breach adversely affecting
Service Provider. Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to have Service Recipient be a third party beneficiary of any rights or
remedies Service Provider may have against the Outsourced Service provider for
any breach arising from or relating to any Outsourced Service. For
greater clarity and subject to Section 11, nothing
in this Agreement shall be interpreted as to relieve Service Provider from any
of its obligations hereunder, including its obligation to provide the Services
it is required to provide hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement and without limiting the rights of Service
Recipient for a breach of Service Provider of its obligations under this
Agreement, Service Recipient shall have exclusive control and decision making
authority with respect to the Service Recipient Business and shall be
responsible for ensuring that the Service Recipient Business is in compliance
with all Applicable Laws. Service Provider shall not be responsible
for any Liabilities arising from (i) Service Provider’s compliance with any
instruction, direction or parameter given by Service Recipient or any constraint
imposed by Service Recipient or (ii) Service Recipient’s decision to not
implement any actions recommended by Service Provider in connection with its
provision of Services to Service Recipient.
SECTION
3. FUNDING OF
EXPENSES.
The
Parties agree that Service Recipient will accrue for and pay its direct
expenses, including, without limitation, licensing, registration fees, taxes,
surety bonds, legal fees, auditing fees and other outside vendors with whom
Service Recipient contracts; and the expense allocation payable under Exhibits A, B and C
hereto. Service Provider further agrees that it will apportion or
chargeback any expenses at the end of each month, or any other applicable
billing period, and will not true up any such expenses to Service Recipient at
the end of any fiscal year.
SECTION
4. TERM AND
TERMINATION.
4.1 Term. Exhibits A, B and C specifically
outline the term for which Services will be provided (the “Term”).
2
4.2 Effect of
Termination. Each Party’s obligations to perform with respect
to the particular Service or Services provided to or by it hereunder shall end
as of the effective date of its termination in accordance with this Agreement;
provided, however, that each
Party shall remain liable to the other as provided for hereunder with respect to
(a) any obligations accruing under this Agreement prior to the effective date of
such termination, or (b) as otherwise provided in this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, Sections
4.2, 9,
10 and 13 shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
SECTION
5. COMPENSATION, PAYMENT AND
AUDIT REVIEWS.
5.1 Payment
of Service Fees to Service Provider. In consideration for
Service Provider providing the Services to Service Recipient, Service Recipient
shall pay Service Provider the Service Fees in accordance with Section 5.3
below.
5.2 Service
Fees.
(a) Not later
than fifteen (15) days following the end of each month, Service Provider shall
deliver to Service Recipient a statement (the “Monthly Statement”)
that details the actual cost allocable for Services to Service Recipient for
that month as set forth on Exhibits A, B and C (the “Service
Fees”). Acceptable forms of delivery for the Monthly Statement
include facsimile, electronic mail, postal mail and hand delivery.
(b) Service
Recipient shall have the right to review the supporting documentation for such
Monthly Statement pursuant to Section 5.4 and
Service Recipient shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Monthly
Statement to deliver a written notice to Service Provider (the “Dispute Notice”)
setting forth the items in dispute in reasonable details (the “Disputed
Items”). During the thirty (30) day period following delivery
of the Dispute Notice (the “Resolution Period”),
the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the
Disputed Items set forth in the Dispute Notice. If the Parties are
unable to reach an agreement during the Resolution Period, then they will
appoint a mutually acceptable independent party to review the Dispute Notice and
determine the final amount of the Disputed Items. If the Parties are
unable to agree on a single independent party within fifteen (15) days after the
end of the Resolution Period, then the Parties will each appoint one (1)
independent party, who will jointly select a third independent party (singly or
collectively, the “Referee”), within
thirty (30) days after the end of the Resolution Period. The Referee
shall deliver its determination to the Parties within thirty (30) days from the
date of its engagement. The Referee’s report shall be final and
binding upon the Parties. The cost of the Referee’s engagement and
report shall be shared fifty percent (50%) by Service Provider and fifty percent
(50%) by Service Recipient. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Service Provider shall continue providing Services during such time as
a dispute exists and nonpayment by Service Recipient of any Disputed Items that
are outstanding in accordance with this Section 5.2(b) shall
not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
(c) In
accordance with Service Provider’s normal practices as of the date hereof,
Service Provider shall maintain reasonably complete and accurate records of and
supporting documentation for all charges and costs and all other data and/or
information created, generated, collected, processed or stored by Service
Provider in connection with the provision of the Services as provided for in
this Agreement (collectively, the “Service
Records”). Service Provider shall retain the Service Records
in accordance with Service Recipient’s record retention policy as set forth in
Service Recipient’s policies and procedures manual and previously communicated
(in writing or electronically) to Service Provider. Service Recipient
shall promptly notify Service Provider in writing or electronically of any
modifications to its record retention policy. In the event of the
termination of any Service provided by Service Provider under this Agreement,
Service Provider shall provide Service Recipient with a copy of all Service
Records pertaining to such terminated Service at Service Recipient’s
cost.
3
5.3 Payments
of Service Fees by Service Recipient. Service Recipient
shall pay all Service Fees promptly, but no later than fifteen (15) days after
its receipt of the Monthly Statement to which such Service Fees apply, via wire
transfer of immediately available funds into a bank account designated by
Service Provider, except for Disputed Items that remain outstanding in
accordance with Section 5.2(b) of
this Agreement. If Service Recipient disputes any portion of a
Monthly Statement, Service Recipient must pay the undisputed
portion. Overdue amounts that are resolved in favor of Service
Provider will accrue interest at the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate
from the date that payment is due until paid in full. If overdue
amounts are resolved in favor of Service Provider, then Service Recipient will
pay all of Service Provider’s reasonable, out-of-pocket costs (including
reasonable attorney’s fees) of collecting past due payments and late payment
charges; provided, however, that the
Parties will share the costs of a Referee in accordance with Section
5.2(b). If overdue amounts are resolved in favor of Service
Recipient, then Service Provider will pay all of Service Recipient’s reasonable,
out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) of defending itself;
provided, however, that the
Parties will share the costs of a Referee in accordance with Section
5.2(b). Any Disputed Items shall be resolved in accordance
with Section
5.2(b) of this Agreement.
5.4 Audit
Review.
(a) Upon the
request of Service Recipient for an audit (which shall be limited to two per
calendar year), Service Provider agrees to afford Service Recipient’s
accountants (and internal and external auditors, inspectors, regulators and
other representatives that Service Recipient may designate from time to time)
reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice
during the Term, to the Service Records, and shall furnish promptly such
information concerning the Services and the Service Fees as Service Recipient’s
accountants (and internal and external auditors, inspectors, regulators and
other representatives that Service Recipient may designate from time to time)
reasonably request; provided, however, that such
investigation shall not unreasonably disrupt Service Provider’s
operations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5 to the
contrary, Service Recipient and its internal and external auditors, inspectors,
regulators and other representatives shall not be given access to (i) the
proprietary information of customers of Service Provider or (ii) Service
Provider’s facilities that are not related to the provision of the
Services. Each Party will be responsible for its own costs associated
with any audit activity pursuant to this Section
5.4(a).
(b) Following
any audit, Service Recipient shall conduct (in the case of an internal audit),
or request its external auditors or examiners to conduct, an exit conference
with Service Provider to obtain factual concurrence with issues identified in
the review. Service Provider and Service Recipient shall meet to
review each audit report promptly after the issuance thereof and discuss any
deficiencies, concerns or recommendations in such audit report with respect to
the Service Records.
4
5.5 Notification
and Disclosure Matters. Service Provider will notify Service
Recipient within forty-eight (48) hours regarding any issues pertaining to
Service Recipient in accordance with the disclosure procedures in place as of
the date hereof.
5.6 Service
Fees Budget. Service Provider,
in consultation with Service Recipient, shall generate, on or prior to the last
day of November each year, an estimate of the budgeted Service Fees for the
aggregate cost of Services allocable to Service Recipient for the following year
(“Budgeted Service
Fees”). The Budgeted Service Fees shall be used solely for
planning purposes. For the year ending on December 31, 2009 (the
“2009 Fiscal
Year”), Service Provider shall provide (i) an initial estimate of the
Budgeted Service Fees for the remainder of the 2009 Fiscal Year and (ii) a more
final estimate of the Budgeted Service Fees for the remainder of the 2009 Fiscal
Year no later than May 31, 2009.
SECTION
6. TAXES.
Service
Recipient shall pay all applicable sales and use taxes required to be paid on
Services provided to Service Recipient that may be due or become due in
connection with Service Provider’s performance of the
Services. Service Provider shall reasonably cooperate with Service
Recipient in order to permit Service Recipient to establish any exemption from
or reduction to, or obtain any credit or refund of, any such sales and use
Taxes.
SECTION
7. PURPOSE.
7.1 Rights
and Obligations. The Parties hereby enter into this Agreement
for the purpose of setting forth their respective rights and obligations
relating to (i) the furnishing of Services and (ii) the sharing of costs
associated therewith between Service Provider and Service
Recipient.
7.2 Nature of
the Relationship.
(a) The
relationship of the Parties under this Agreement is and shall be limited to one
of contract. Neither the contractual relationship between the Parties
established hereby nor any provision of this Agreement shall be construed to
create a partnership or joint venture between the Parties, or make either Party
in any way responsible for the indebtedness, obligations, legal compliance or
other liabilities of the other Party, except as specifically herein
provided. Neither Party shall have any authority or power to act for
or bind the other or to encumber, lease or convey any part of or interest in the
other Party’s property. The Parties shall develop procedures and
practices so that the interests of any Party are not favored or required to be
preferred over the interests of the other, except as provided
herein.
(b) Except as
provided herein, this Agreement shall not in any manner (i) limit the
Parties in carrying on their respective separate businesses or activities,
(ii) impose upon either Party any fiduciary duty vis-a-vis the other or
(iii) impose upon either Party any obligation or liability.
5
(c) The
Parties recognize that some of their respective operations are located at shared
sites and that necessary interactions result from the proximity of their
businesses and the shared responsibilities resulting from the use of the shared
sites. The businesses of the respective Parties will be managed by
the Parties, as independent companies, and each will act and conduct business
independently. Further, each Party recognizes its responsibility to
support the capability of each other Party to continue to conduct their
respective businesses for routine and non-routine activities (including but not
limited to start-up, shut down, emergency and other infrequent or unanticipated
opportunities or events).
SECTION
8. NON-LIABILITY OF THE
PARTIES.
8.1 Standard
of Care. Service Provider shall perform the Services in a good
and workmanlike manner, exercising reasonable skill, care and diligence in
performing the same, (i) consistent in all material respects with the practices
and processes followed or implemented by Service Provider when performing the
same Services in connection with the Service Provider Business, (ii) with the
same priority it would afford Service Provider’s operations and (iii) in
accordance with prudent industry practices and Applicable Law. Except
as described herein or due to a breach hereof, unless caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of a Party, the respective Parties shall not be
liable for any damage arising out of their performance of this Agreement,
whether with respect to the person or property of the other Party or of any of
its employees, agents, or invitees, or otherwise.
8.2 Disclaimer
of Warranties; Limitation of Liability. SERVICE PROVIDER
MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO ANY OF THE
SERVICES AND SERVICE PROVIDER DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR WARRANTIES
IMPOSED BY LAW, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EXCEPT FOR THE PARTIES’
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES, THE
PARTIES’ LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES HEREUNDER IS LIMITED TO DIRECT, ACTUAL DAMAGES
ONLY, AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE,
LOST PROFITS OR OTHER BUSINESS INTERRUPTION DAMAGES, OR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, IN TORT, CONTRACT OR
OTHERWISE, OF ANY KIND, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE
PERFORMANCE, THE SUSPENSION OF PERFORMANCE, THE FAILURE TO PERFORM, OR THE
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION
9. INDEMNIFICATION.
9.1 Subject
to Section 8,
each Party (each an “Indemnitor”) shall
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other Party, each of such Party’s
Affiliates, and the officers, employees, directors, representatives and agents
of such Party and its Affiliates (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from
and against any and all Liabilities to the extent that they result from, arise
out of or relate to (a) an Indemnitor’s (i) breach of this Agreement, (ii)
failure to comply with any contract with a third party relating to the Services
or (iii) failure to comply with Applicable Law or (b) any gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitor, its Affiliates or its officers,
employees, directors, managers, representatives or agents in connection with the
performance of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Such
Liabilities shall include, but not be limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
any other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending or
prosecuting any lawsuit or action that arises out of the performance of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, an Indemnitor
shall not be liable to defend, indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnitee for any
Liabilities arising out of or resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee.
6
9.2 In
addition to the indemnification obligations contained in Section 9.1 above,
Service Recipient shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Service Provider,
each of Service Recipient’s Affiliates, and the officers, employees, directors,
representatives and agents of Service Provider and its Affiliates from and
against any and all Liabilities to the extent that they result from, arise out
of or relate to any allegation, claim, administrative finding or judicial
determination that Service Provider, by virtue of its performance of this
Agreement is an ‘operator’ or ‘generator’ under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or analogous state
laws, of any real property owned, operated, leased or occupied by Service
Recipient. For purposes of Section 9, Service
Recipient shall be an “Indemnitor” and Service Providers and its Affiliates and
their respective officers, employees, directors and agents shall be
“Indemnitees”.
9.3 The
Parties’ obligations to defend, indemnify and hold each other harmless under the
terms of this Agreement shall not vest any rights in or be enforceable by any
third party, whether a Governmental Authority or private entity, nor shall they
be considered an admission of liability or responsibility for any purposes other
than those enumerated in this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement
are enforceable only by the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns,
and no third party, including a member of Service Recipient, shall have a
separate right to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or to compel any
Party to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
9.4 The
Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor as soon as practicable after receiving
notice of any claim or proceeding brought against it that might give rise to an
indemnity claim under this Agreement (an “Indemnification
Claim”) and shall furnish to the Indemnitor the complete details within
its knowledge. Any delay or failure by the Indemnitee to give notice
to the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations except to
the extent, if any, that the Indemnitor shall have been materially prejudiced by
reason of such delay or failure.
9.5 The
Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense, at its own expense and by
its own counsel, of any Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that such
counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee Notwithstanding
the Indemnitor’s appointment of counsel to represent an Indemnitee, the
Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitor shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and
expenses of such separate counsel if in the Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment (a)
the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnitor to represent the Indemnitee would
present such counsel with a conflict of interest or defenses that are available
to the Indemnitee that are not available to the Indemnitor or (b) the Indemnitor
shall not have employed counsel to represent the Indemnitee within a reasonable
time after notice of the institution of such Indemnification
Claim. If requested by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee Party agrees to
reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor and its counsel in contesting any claim
or proceeding that the Indemnitor defends, including, if appropriate, making any
counterclaim or cross-complaint. All reasonably incurred costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the Indemnitee’s cooperation shall be borne
by the Indemnitor.
7
9.6 No
Indemnification Claim may be settled or compromised by (a) the Indemnitee
without the written consent of the Indemnitor or (b) by the Indemnitor without
the written consent of the Indemnitee.
SECTION
10. CONFIDENTIALITY.
From and
after the date hereof, each Party shall not and shall cause their directors,
officers, employees and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, disclose,
reveal, divulge or communicate to any person other than authorized officers,
directors and employees and Affiliates of the Party or use or otherwise exploit
for its own benefit any Confidential Information (as defined
below). No Party shall have any obligation to keep confidential (or
cause its officers, directors or Affiliates to keep confidential) any
Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically
required by Applicable Law or a dispute between the Parties; provided, however, that in the
event disclosure is required by Applicable Law or by regulation and as required
by regulatory authorities, the relevant Party shall, to the extent reasonably
possible, provide the other Party with prompt notice of such requirement prior
to making any disclosure so that the other Party may seek an appropriate
protective order. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential
Information” means any information with respect to the
operations and business practices of the other Party, including methods of
operation, customer lists, products, prices, fees, costs, inventions, trade
secrets, know-how, marketing methods, plans, personnel, suppliers, competitors,
markets or other specialized information or proprietary
matters. “Confidential Information” does not include, and there shall
be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is generally
available to the public on the date of this Agreement or (ii) becomes generally
available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure not otherwise
permissible hereunder. The Parties consent to the filing of this
Agreement (i) with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Bankruptcy Cases
and (ii) with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
SECTION
11. FORCE
MAJEURE.
11.1 If
Service Provider shall be delayed, hindered in or prevented from performing any
act required to be performed by it hereunder by any cause or circumstance which
is beyond its control including, without limitation, an act of god, strikes,
lockouts or other labor troubles occurring with respect to those sites for which
Services are being provided hereunder, inability to procure materials (including
energy), power failure, casualty, restrictive governmental laws, orders or
regulations, riots, insurrection, war or other reason of a like nature not the
fault of Service Provider, then performance of any such act shall be extended
for a period equivalent to the period of such delay and a reasonable period of
recovery thereafter.
11.2 If for
any of the reasons set forth above Service Provider shall be unable to perform
any obligation when due, Service Provider shall promptly notify Service
Recipient of such delay (and the estimated time that such delay shall continue),
in writing, and state the cause for the same. Service Provider shall
have the obligation to do everything reasonably within its power to remove such
cause, but shall not be required to incur any substantial additional expense or
materially depart from its normal business practices. Service Recipient shall
not be required to pay for any disrupted Services during the period in which
they are not being provided to Service Recipient pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

13. GENERAL
PROVISIONS.

herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set
forth in full herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Exhibit but
not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this

supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written
instrument making specific reference to this Agreement or the Exhibit hereto
signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement,
modification or waiver is sought. The Parties hereby acknowledge and
agree that a material amendment to this Agreement or any of the Exhibits
requires the approval of the Bankruptcy Court prior to the effective date of the
plan of reorganization in the Bankruptcy Cases. The waiver by any
Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or
be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of
any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
13.3 Assignment;
Successors. This
Agreement shall be personal to each Party and no Party may assign or transfer
(directly or indirectly, by merger, consolidation, operation of law or
otherwise) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed; provided, however, that a Party
may assign, without the prior written consent of each other Party, this
Agreement or their respective rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in
part, to an Affiliate or any purchaser of or successor to all or substantially
all of the crude oil assets or business of such Party. This Agreement

provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced
by Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
