In resolving any Disputed Item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party.

3.15	Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a)

None of the employees of the Contributing Parties or their Affiliates who provide exclusive or shared services to the Contributed Entities (collectively, the “Associated Employees”) are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, except as set forth on Disclosure Schedule 3.15(a). Except as would not result in any liability to the Partnership Parties or the Contributed Entities or as set forth on Disclosure Schedule 3.15(a), there are no facts or circumstances that have resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a claim on behalf of an individual or a class in excess of $250,000 for unlawful discrimination, unpaid overtime or any other violation of Applicable Law relating to employment of the Associated Employees.

(b)

As of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Partnership Agreement, the Contributed Entities do not sponsor, maintain or contribute to, or have any legal or equitable obligation to establish, any compensation or benefit plan, agreement, program or policy (whether written or oral, formal or informal) for the benefit of any present or former directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants or other similar representatives, including, but not limited to, any “employee benefit plan” as defined in section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) (the foregoing are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Plans”). All Plans in which Associated Employees participate are sponsored or maintained by a Contributing Party or its Affiliate.

(c)

Except as would not result in any liability to the Partnership Parties or the Contributed Entities, (i) each Plan in which Associated Employees participate and that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is and has been so qualified in form, and (ii) each Plan in which Associated Employees participate is and has been operated and maintained in material compliance with its terms and the provisions of all Applicable Laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code.

(d)

With respect to any Plan that the Contributing Parties (or any entity treated as a single employer with a Contributing Party for purposes of Section 414 of the Code or Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA (the “Contributing Parties Aggregated Group”)) has maintained within the last six years or has had any obligation to contribute to within the past six years, (i) except for an event described in Section 4043(c)(3) of ERISA and except for an event that would not impose any liability on the Partnership Parties or the Contributed Entities, there has been no “reportable event,” as that term is defined in Section 4043 of ERISA, for which the thirty (30) day reporting requirement has not been waived, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in such a “reportable event” for which a waiver does not apply, (ii) none of the Contributed Entities, the Contributing Parties or any member of the Contributing Parties Aggregated Group has incurred any direct or indirect liability under Title IV of ERISA other than liability for premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation that have been timely paid and other than any liabilities for which the Contributed Entities have no direct or indirect responsibility or obligation, and (iii) there does not exist any accumulated funding deficiency within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, whether or not waived that, in either case, would give rise to a Lien on any of the Contributed Entities’ Assets or that would

reasonably be expected to result in a Contributed Entity Material Adverse Effect. None of the Contributed Entities, the Contributing Parties or any member of the Contributing Parties Aggregated Group contributes to, or has an obligation to contribute to, and has not within six years prior to the Closing Date contributed to, or had an obligation to contribute to, a “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA (x) that is, or is reasonably expected to be in “critical” or “endangered” status as defined in Section 432 of the Code or Section 305 of ERISA, or (y) in respect of which a Contributed Entity, a Contributing Party or any member of the Contributing Parties Aggregated Group has or may reasonably be expected to incur any withdrawal liability (as defined in Section 4201 of ERISA).

(e)

The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under all of the Plans of Xxxxxxxx or its Affiliates subject to Title IV of ERISA (other than multiemployer plans) (the “Title IV Plans”), determined as of the end of such Title IV Plan’s most recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Title IV Plan’s actuarial valuation report for such plan year, did not exceed by more than $300 million the aggregate current value of the assets of all such Title IV Plans allocable to such benefit liabilities. No Title IV Plan is, or is reasonably expected to be within one year immediately following the Closing, in “at-risk” status (as defined in Section 303(i)(4) of ERISA or Section 430(i)(4) of the Code). The term “benefit liabilities” has the meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and “present value” have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA.

(f)

Except as would not result in any liability to the Contributed Entities, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any subsequent employment-related event) result in any payment becoming due, result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any benefits under the Plans, result in the incurrence or acceleration of any other obligation related to the Plans or to any employee or former employee of any Contributing Party or any of its Affiliates.

(g)

All costs and liabilities associated with Associated Employees and any former employees who have provided services with respect to the Contributed Entities have been allocated in good faith among the Contributing Parties and their Affiliates and the Contributed Entities.

3.16	Labor Matters.

There is no labor strike, or other material dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending or, to the Knowledge of the Contributing Parties, threatened against any Contributing Party or any Contributed Entity with respect to any employee that will be providing services to such Contributed Entities.

3.17	Transactions with Affiliates.

Except as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement or as set forth on Disclosure Schedule 3.17, none of the Contributed Entities is a party to, and immediately after Closing will not be party to, any agreement, contract or arrangement between such Contributed Entity, on the one hand, and any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, other than those entered into (i) in the ordinary course of business relating to the provision of offgas, natural gas liquids, paraffins and/or olefins extraction, processing, transportation, marketing or storage service, the interconnection of the respective pipeline systems of WECU and its Affiliates, the provision of construction, operating and management services to the Contributed Entities, or the purchase or sale of natural gas for fuel or system requirements and (ii) among the Contributed Entities with respect to transactions or arrangements among Contributed Entities.

3.18	Insurance.

Except as set forth in Disclosure Schedule 3.18, the Contributed Entities’ Assets are covered by, and immediately after the Closing will be insured under, insurance policies underwritten by reputable insurers that include coverages and related limits and deductibles that are customary for companies of similar size and complexity as the Contributing Parties in the offgas, natural gas liquids, paraffins and/or olefins extraction, transportation, processing, marketing and storage industry, and consistent with past practice. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect, and all premiums due and payable on such policies will be paid through the date of Closing. No notice of cancellation of, or indication of an intention not to renew, any such insurance policy has been received by any Contributing Party other than in the ordinary course of business.

3.19	Intellectual Property Rights.

Each Contributed Entity owns or has the right to use all Intellectual Property necessary for or used in the conduct of its business as currently conducted by it, and its products and services do not infringe upon, misappropriate or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property of any third party. All Intellectual Property owned by any Contributed Entity, if any, is free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will, with or without notice or lapse of time, result in, or give any other Person the right or option to cause or declare, a breach or termination of, or cancellation or reduction in, rights of any Contributed Entity under any contract providing for the license of any Intellectual Property to such Contributed Entity, except for any such terminations, cancellations or reductions that, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Contributed Entity Material Adverse Effect. There is no Intellectual Property-related action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, notice or complaint pending or threatened by any third party before any court or tribunal (including, without limitation, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or equivalent authority anywhere in the world) relating to any Contributed Entity or its operations, nor has any claim or demand been made by any third party that alleges any infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Intellectual Property of any third party, or unfair competition or trade practices by any of the Contributed Entities. Except as would not result in a Contributed Entity Material Adverse Effect, the Contributed Entities have taken reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of all material trade secrets.

3.20	Investment Company Act.

None of the Contributing Parties or the Contributed Entities is, nor immediately after the Closing will be, subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

3.21	Brokerage Arrangements.

The Contributing Parties have not entered (directly or indirectly) into any agreement with any Person that would obligate any Contributing Party to pay any commission, brokerage or “finder’s fee” or other similar fee in connection with this Agreement, the CCA Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

3.22	Books and Records.

Accurate copies of the respective books of account, minute books, stock or other equity record books of each Contributed Entity have been made available for inspection to the Partnership Parties.

3.23	Investment Intent.

The Contributing Parties have substantial experience in analyzing and investing in entities like the Partnership and are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment in the Partnership. The Contributing Parties are being issued the Class D Units in the Private Equity Placement and the Additional General Partner Units solely for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or state securities laws. The Contributing Parties acknowledge that the Class D Units issued in the Private Equity Placement and the Additional General Partner Units will not be registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, and that such Class D Units issued in the Private Equity Placement and the Additional General Partner Units may not be transferred or sold except pursuant to the registration provisions of the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom and pursuant to state securities laws and regulations as applicable. The Contributing Parties acknowledge that each certificate representing the Class D Units issued in the Private Equity Placement shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY ACKNOWLEDGES FOR THE BENEFIT OF XXXXXXXX PARTNERS L.P. THAT THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IF SUCH TRANSFER WOULD (A) VIOLATE THE THEN APPLICABLE FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY WITH JURISDICTION OVER SUCH TRANSFER, (B) TERMINATE THE EXISTENCE OR QUALIFICATION OF XXXXXXXX PARTNERS L.P. UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, OR (C) CAUSE XXXXXXXX PARTNERS L.P. TO BE

TREATED AS AN ASSOCIATION TAXABLE AS A CORPORATION OR OTHERWISE TO BE TAXED AS AN ENTITY FOR UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES (TO THE EXTENT NOT ALREADY SO TREATED OR TAXED). XXXXXXXX PARTNERS GP LLC, THE GENERAL PARTNER OF XXXXXXXX PARTNERS L.P., MAY IMPOSE ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IF IT RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT SUCH RESTRICTIONS ARE NECESSARY TO AVOID A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF XXXXXXXX PARTNERS L.P. BECOMING TAXABLE AS A CORPORATION OR OTHERWISE BECOMING TAXABLE AS AN ENTITY FOR UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH ABOVE SHALL NOT PRECLUDE THE SETTLEMENT OF ANY TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THIS SECURITY ENTERED INTO THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF ANY NATIONAL SECURITIES EXCHANGE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY IS LISTED OR ADMITTED TO TRADING.

3.24	Waivers and Disclaimers.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CONTRIBUTING PARTIES CLOSING DOCUMENTS, EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AND OTHER COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS MADE BY THE CONTRIBUTING PARTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONTRIBUTING PARTIES HAVE NOT MADE, DO NOT MAKE, AND SPECIFICALLY NEGATE AND DISCLAIM ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, PROMISES, COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS OR GUARANTIES OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, ORAL OR WRITTEN, PAST OR PRESENT, REGARDING (A) THE VALUE, NATURE, QUALITY OR CONDITION OF THE CONTRIBUTED INTEREST, THE CONTRIBUTED ENTITIES OR SUCH CONTRIBUTED ENTITIES’ ASSETS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WATER, SOIL, GEOLOGY OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE CONTRIBUTED ENTITIES’ ASSETS GENERALLY, INCLUDING THE PRESENCE OR LACK OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OR OTHER MATTERS ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THE CONTRIBUTED ENTITIES’ ASSETS, (B) THE INCOME TO BE DERIVED FROM THE CONTRIBUTED INTEREST, THE CONTRIBUTED ENTITIES OR SUCH CONTRIBUTED ENTITIES’ ASSETS, (C) THE SUITABILITY OF THE CONTRIBUTED ENTITIES’ ASSETS FOR ANY AND ALL ACTIVITIES AND USES THAT MAY BE CONDUCTED THEREON, (D) THE COMPLIANCE OF OR BY THE CONTRIBUTED ENTITIES’ ASSETS OR THEIR OPERATION WITH ANY LAWS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ZONING, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, POLLUTION OR LAND USE LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS, ORDERS OR REQUIREMENTS), OR (E) THE HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, MARKETABILITY, PROFITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE CONTRIBUTED ENTITIES’ ASSETS.

THE

PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 3.24 HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED BY THE PARTIES AFTER DUE CONSIDERATION AND ARE INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE EXCLUSION AND NEGATION OF ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, WITH RESPECT TO THE CONTRIBUTING PARTIES, THE CONTRIBUTED ENTITIES OR SUCH CONTRIBUTED ENTITIES’ ASSETS THAT MAY ARISE PURSUANT TO ANY LAW NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CONTRIBUTING PARTIES CLOSING DOCUMENTS.

(a)

The Contributing Parties shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold the Partnership Parties and their respective subsidiaries harmless from any Taxes, together with any costs, expenses, losses or damages, including reasonable expenses of investigation and attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses, arising out of or incident to the determination, assessment or collection of such Taxes (“Tax Losses”), (i) imposed on or incurred by the Contributed Entities by reason of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous state, local or foreign law or regulation which is attributable to having been a member of any consolidated, combined or unitary group on or prior to and including the Closing Date, (ii) any Tax Losses (other than Tax Losses described in clause (i) above) imposed on or incurred by or with respect to the Contributed Entities or the Contributed Entities’ Assets with respect to the period prior to and including the Closing Date, or (iii) attributable to a breach by any Contributing Party of any representation (other than those contained in Section 3.10, to which ARTICLE 9 shall be applicable), warranty or covenant with respect to Taxes in this Agreement; provided, however, the Contributing Parties’ liability for Tax Losses hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any Taxes included in such Tax Losses to the extent taken into account in determining Final Net Working Capital.

(b)

The Partnership Parties shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold the Contributing Parties and their Affiliates (other than the Partnership Parties and their subsidiaries) harmless from, any Tax Losses (i) imposed on or incurred by or with respect to the Contributed Entities or the Contributed Entities’ Assets with respect to the period after the Closing Date, or (ii) attributable to a breach by the Partnership Parties of any covenant with respect to Taxes in this Agreement.

(c)

Whenever it is necessary for purposes of this ARTICLE 7 to determine the amount of any Taxes imposed on or incurred by or with respect to the Contributed Entities or the Contributed Entities’ Assets for a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date which is allocable to the period prior to and including the Closing Date, the determination shall be made, in the case of property or ad valorem taxes or franchise taxes (which are measured by, or based solely upon capital, debt or a combination of capital and debt), on a per diem basis and, in the case of other Taxes, by assuming that such pre-Closing Date period constitutes a separate taxable period applicable to the Contributed Entities and by taking into account the actual taxable events occurring during such period (except that exemptions, allowances and deductions for a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date that are calculated on an annual or periodic basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned to the period prior to and including the Closing Date ratably on a per diem basis). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any franchise tax paid or payable with respect to the Contributed Entities or the Contributed Entities’ Assets shall be allocated to the taxable period during which the income, operations, assets or capital comprising the base of such tax is measured, regardless of whether the right to do business for another taxable period is obtained by the payment of such franchise tax.

(d)

If any of the Partnership Parties or their Affiliates receives a refund of any Taxes that any of the Contributing Parties are responsible for hereunder, or if the Contributing Parties or their Affiliates receive a refund of any Taxes that any of the Partnership Parties is responsible for hereunder, the party receiving such refund shall, within ninety (90) days after receipt of such refund, remit it to the party who has responsibility for such Taxes hereunder; provided, however, the Partnership Parties’ obligation to remit a refund to the Contributing Parties hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any Taxes included in such refund to the extent taken into account in determining Final Net Working Capital. The parties shall cooperate in order to take all necessary steps to claim any such refund.

(b)

With respect to any Tax Return covering a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date that is required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to the Contributed Entities or the Contributed Entities’ Assets that is not described in Section 7.2(a) above, the Contributing Parties shall cause such Tax Return to be prepared, cause to be included in such Tax Return all Tax Items required to be included therein, cause such Tax Return to be filed timely with the appropriate Taxing Authority, and be responsible for the timely payment (and entitled to any refund) of all Taxes due with respect to the period covered by such Tax Return.

(c)

With respect to any Tax Return covering a taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date that is required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to the Contributed Entities or the Contributed Entities’ Assets, the Contributing Parties shall cause such Tax Return to be prepared, cause to be included in such Tax Return all Tax Items required to be included therein, furnish a copy of such Tax Return to the Partnership Parties, cause such Tax Return to be filed timely with the appropriate Taxing Authority, and be responsible for the timely payment of all Taxes due with respect to the period covered by such Tax Return (but shall have a right to recover the amount of Tax Losses attributable to the portion of the taxable period occurring after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.1(b)).

(d)

With regard to any Tax Return not yet filed for any taxable period that begins before the Closing Date with respect to the Contributed Entities or the Contributed Entities’ Assets, the Contributing Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Tax Return to be prepared in accordance with past Tax accounting practices used with respect to the Tax Returns in question (unless such past practices are no longer permissible under the Applicable Law), and to the extent any items are not covered by past practices, in accordance with reasonable tax accounting practices selected by the filing party with respect to such Tax Return under this Agreement with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the non-filing party.

7.3	Transfer Taxes.

The Contributing Parties shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement (the “Transfer Taxes”) and shall be liable for and shall timely pay such Transfer Taxes. If required by applicable Law, the Partnership Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

7.4	Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments.

All indemnification payments made under this Agreement, including any payment made under this Article 7, shall be treated as increases or decreases to the Aggregate Consideration for Tax purposes.

7.6

Survival.

Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, rights and obligations of the parties hereto with respect to any Tax matter covered by this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall not terminate until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations (including all periods of extension and tolling) applicable to such Tax matter.

ARTICLE 9

INDEMNIFICATION UPON CLOSING

9.1	Indemnification of the Partnership Parties.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Contributing Parties, from and after the Closing Date, shall indemnify, defend and hold the Partnership Parties, their subsidiaries and their respective securityholders, directors, officers, and employees, and the officers, directors and employees of the General Partner, but otherwise excluding the Contributing Parties and its Affiliates (the “Partnership Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Damages suffered or incurred by any Partnership Indemnified Party as a result of or arising out of (i) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of the Contributing Parties in this Agreement or any Contributing Parties Closing Document, (ii) any breach of any agreement or covenant on the part of the Contributing Parties made under this Agreement or any Contributing Parties Closing Document or in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or (iii) any breach or violation of any Environmental Laws by the Contributed Entities that occurs prior to Closing; provided, however, that with regard to subsection (iii), the Contributing Parties shall only be required to indemnify the Partnership Indemnified Parties for Damages attributable to the Contributed Interest. For purposes of this Section 9.1, whether the Contributing Parties have breached any of their representations and warranties herein shall be determined without giving effect to any qualification as to “materiality” (including the word “material” or “Contributed Entity Material Adverse Effect”).

9.2	Indemnification of the Contributing Parties.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Partnership Parties shall indemnify, defend and hold the Contributing Parties, their Affiliates (other than any of the Partnership Indemnified Parties) and their respective securityholders, directors, officers, and employees (the “Contributing Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Damages suffered or incurred by the Contributing Indemnified Parties as a result of or arising out of (i) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of the Partnership Parties in this Agreement or any Partnership Parties Closing Document, or (ii) any breach of any agreement or covenant on the part of the Partnership Parties made under this Agreement or any Partnership Parties Closing Document or in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. For purposes of this Section 9.2, whether the Partnership Parties have breached any of their representations and warranties herein shall be determined without giving effect to any qualification as to “materiality” (including the word “material” or “Partnership Material Adverse Effect”).

With the exception of a breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of the Contributing Parties contained in Section 3.10, nothing in this ARTICLE 9 shall apply to liability with respect to Taxes, the liability with respect to which shall be as set forth in ARTICLE 7.

9.4

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 3 and ARTICLE 4 and in any certificate delivered in connection herewith with respect to any of those representations and warranties shall terminate and expire on the first day of the 18^th month following the month in which Closing occurs, except (a) the representations and warranties of the Contributing Parties set forth in Section 3.10 shall survive until 30 days after the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations (including all periods of extension and tolling), (b) the representations and warranties of the Contributing Parties set forth in Section 3.11 and Section 3.15 shall terminate and expire on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, (c) the representations and warranties of the Contributing Parties set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2 and Section 3.4 shall survive forever and (d) the representations and warranties of the Partnership Parties set forth in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 shall survive forever. After a representation and warranty has terminated and expired, no indemnification shall or may be sought pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 on the basis of that representation and warranty by any Person who would have been entitled pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 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 9.4, no claim presented in writing for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 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 9 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.

9.5

Demands.

Each indemnified party hereunder agrees that promptly upon its discovery of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnity under the provisions of this Agreement, including receipt by it of notice of any demand, assertion, claim, action or proceeding, judicial or otherwise, by any third party (such claims for indemnity involving third-party claims being collectively referred to herein as the “Indemnity Claim”), with respect to any matter as to which it claims to be entitled to indemnity under the provisions of this Agreement, it will give prompt notice thereof in writing to the indemnifying party, together with a statement of such information respecting any of the foregoing as it shall have. Such notice shall include a formal demand for indemnification under this Agreement.

If the indemnified party knowingly failed to notify the indemnifying party thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in sufficient time to permit the indemnifying party or its counsel to defend against an Indemnity Claim and to make a timely response thereto, the indemnifying party’s indemnity obligation relating to such Indemnity Claim shall be limited to the extent that such failure has actually prejudiced or damaged the indemnifying party with respect to that Indemnity Claim.

9.6	Right to Contest and Defend.

The indemnifying party shall be entitled, at its cost and expense, to contest and defend by all appropriate legal proceedings any Indemnity Claim for which it is called upon to indemnify the indemnified party under the provisions of this Agreement; provided, that notice of the intention to so contest shall be delivered by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party within twenty (20) days from the date of receipt by the indemnifying party of notice by the indemnified party of the assertion of the Indemnity Claim. Any such contest may be conducted in the name and on behalf of the indemnifying party or the indemnified party as may be appropriate. Such contest shall be conducted by reputable counsel employed by the indemnifying party and not reasonably objected to by the indemnified party, but the indemnified party shall have the right but not the obligation to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own choosing at its sole cost and expense.

The indemnifying party shall have full authority to determine all action to be taken with respect thereto; provided, however, that the indemnifying party will not have the authority to subject the indemnified party to any obligation whatsoever, other than the performance of purely ministerial tasks or obligations not involving material expense or injunctive relief. If the indemnifying party does not elect to contest any such Indemnity Claim, the indemnifying party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of an Indemnity Claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of an Indemnity Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Indemnity Claim, which releases the indemnified party completely in connection with such Indemnity Claim and which would not otherwise adversely affect the indemnified party as determined by the indemnified party in its sole discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Indemnity Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the indemnified party in defending such Indemnity Claim) if the Indemnity Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the indemnified party which the indemnified party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Indemnity Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages.

9.7	Cooperation.

If requested by the indemnifying party, the indemnified party agrees to cooperate with the indemnifying party and its counsel in contesting any Indemnity Claim that the indemnifying party elects to contest or, if appropriate, in making any counterclaim against the person asserting the Indemnity Claim, or any cross-complaint against any person, and the indemnifying party will reimburse the indemnified party for any expenses incurred by it in so cooperating. At no cost or expense to the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall cooperate with the indemnified party and its counsel in contesting any Indemnity Claim.

9.8	Right to Participate.

The indemnified party agrees to afford the indemnifying party and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to participate in, conferences with all Persons, including Governmental Authorities, asserting any Indemnity Claim against the indemnified party or conferences with representatives of or counsel for such Persons.

9.9	Payment of Damages.

The indemnification required hereunder in respect of Indemnity Claims shall be made by periodic payments of the amount of Damages in connection therewith, within ten (10) days as and when reasonably specific bills are received by, or Damages are incurred and reasonable evidence thereof is delivered to, the indemnifying party. In calculating any amount to be paid by an indemnifying party by reason of the provisions of this Agreement, the amount shall be reduced by all insurance proceeds and any indemnification reimbursement proceeds received from third parties credited to or received by the indemnified party related to the Damages.

9.10	Limitations on Indemnification.

(a)

To the extent that the Partnership Indemnified Parties would otherwise be entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 9.1, the Contributing Parties shall be liable only if (i) the Damages with respect to a claim exceed $415,000 (the “Minimum Claim Amount”) and (ii) the Damages for all claims that exceed the Minimum Claim Amount exceed, in the aggregate, $12,000,000 (the “Deductible Amount”), and then the Contributing Parties shall be liable only for Damages to the extent of any excess over the Deductible Amount. In no event shall the Contributing Parties’ aggregate liability to the Partnership Indemnified Parties under Section 9.1 exceed $140,000,000 (the “Ceiling Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Deductible Amount shall not apply to breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.4, Section 3.21 and Section 3.22 and (ii) the Ceiling Amount shall not apply to breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties contained in Section 3.4; provided, that the Contributing Parties’ aggregate liability for a breach or inaccuracy of such Section 3.4 shall not exceed an amount equal to the Aggregate Consideration minus the amount of all other Damages payable by the Contributing Parties hereunder.

(b)

To the extent the Contributing Indemnified Parties would otherwise be entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 9.2, the Partnership Parties shall be liable only if (i) the Damages with respect to a claim exceed the Minimum Claim Amount and (ii) the Damages for all claims that exceed the Minimum Claim Amount exceed, in the aggregate, the Deductible Amount, and then the Partnership Parties shall be liable only for Damages to the extent of any excess over the Deductible Amount. In no event shall the Partnership Parties’ aggregate liability to the Contributing Indemnified Parties under Section 9.2 exceed the Ceiling Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Deductible Amount shall not apply to breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1, Section 4.2 and Section 4.4.

(c)

Additionally, neither the Partnership Parties, on the one hand, nor the Contributing 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 Indemnity Claims.

9.11	Sole Remedy.

10.5	Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers.

(a)

This Agreement and the Closing 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,

2. Section 4.8(c) is hereby amended to add the following sentence to the end of Section 4.8(c):

3. Article V is hereby amended to add a new Section 5.13 as follows:

“Section 5.13 Establishment of Class D Units

(a) The General Partner hereby designates and creates a series of Units to be designated as “Class D Units,” having the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b) The holders of the Class D Units shall have rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, including the right to share in any liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 12.4, in accordance with Article XII.

(c) Issuance of Class D Units. Class D Units shall initially be issued as contemplated by Article 2 of the WECU Contribution Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof. Additional Class D Units shall be issued either in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Class D Unit Put Option or pursuant to a Class D Unit Distribution.

(i) Upon the initial issuance of Class D Units as provided in Article 2 of the WECU Contribution Agreement, the General Partner’s capital account shall be adjusted and General Partner Units shall be issued to the General Partner pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof.

(ii) Upon the issuance of Class D Units pursuant to the Class D Unit Put Option, the General Partner’s capital account shall be adjusted and General Partner Units shall be issued to the General Partner pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 5.6(a) of the WECU Contribution Agreement.

(iii) Upon the issuance of Class D Units pursuant to a Class D Unit Distribution, the General Partner may, in exchange for a proportionate number of General Partner Units to maintain its Percentage Interest as of such date, make an additional Capital Contribution in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the Percentage Interest of the General Partner immediately prior to such issuance, by (2) a percentage equal to 100%, less such Percentage Interest and (y) the amount contributed to the Partnership by the holders of Class D Units in exchange for such issuance of Class D Units. Class D Unit Distributions will be treated solely for purposes of this Section 5.13(c)(iii) as if the cash equivalent of such Class D Units had been distributed to the holder of the Class D Units and thereafter recontributed by such holder to the Partnership in exchange for such issuance of Class D Units.

(d) Conversion of Class D Units

(i) Effective on the business day after the record date for the distribution on Common Units for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2015, each Class D Unit shall become convertible at the election of the holder thereof or the Partnership into a Common Unit on a one-for-one basis by delivery of written notice to the Partnership or the holder thereof, as applicable, setting forth the number of Class D Units held by the holder, the number of Class D Units it is electing to convert, and other applicable information as may be reasonably requested by the Partnership or the holder thereof, as applicable (such date on which a holder or the Partnership elects to convert a Class D Unit, a “Class D Conversion Date”). If such Class D Units are Certificated, a Class D Unit Certificate shall be delivered by the holder to the Transfer Agent representing an amount of Class D Units at least equal to the amount such holder or the Partnership, as applicable, is electing to convert (or an instruction letter shall be delivered by the holder to the Transfer Agent if the Class D Units are in book-entry form), together with such additional information as may be requested by the Transfer Agent. Thereafter, the Partnership shall take commercially reasonable steps to complete the conversion in accordance with this Section 5.13(d). In the case of any Certificate representing Class D Units which are converted in part only, upon such conversion the Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the holder of Class D Units thereof, at the expense of the Partnership, a new Certificate representing the number of Class D Units not so converted.

(ii) Upon conversion, the rights of a holder of converted Class D Units as holder of Class D Units shall cease with respect to such converted Class D Units, including any rights under this Agreement with respect to holders of Class D Units, and such Person shall continue to be a Limited Partner and have the rights of a holder of Common Units under this Agreement with respect to the Common Units received in such conversion. Each Class D Unit shall, upon its Class D Conversion Date, be deemed to be transferred to, and cancelled by, the Partnership in exchange for the issuance of the Common Unit into which such Class D Unit converted.

(iii) The Partnership shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of Common Units upon conversion of the Class D Units. However, the holder shall pay any tax or duty that may be payable relating to any transfer involving the issuance or delivery of Common Units in a name other than the holder’s name. The Transfer Agent may refuse to deliver the Certificate representing Common Units (or notation of book entry) being issued in a name other than the holder’s name until the Transfer Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duties which will be due because the Common Units are to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.

(iv)(A) The Partnership shall keep free from preemptive rights a sufficient number of Common Units to permit the conversion of all Outstanding Class D Units into Common Units to the extent provided in, and in accordance with, this Section 5.13(d).

(B) All Common Units delivered upon conversion of the Class D Units shall be newly issued, shall be duly authorized and validly issued, and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

(C) The Partnership shall comply with all applicable securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of any Common Units upon conversion of Class D Units and, if the Common Units are then listed or quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, or any other National Securities Exchange or other market, shall list or cause to have quoted and keep listed and quoted the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the Class D Units to the extent permitted or required by the rules of such exchange or market.

(D) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall give to any holder of Class D Units any rights as a creditor in respect of its right to conversion.

(e) Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, during the period commencing upon issuance of the Class D Units and ending on the Class D Conversion Date, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, including Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss to be allocated to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1(c), shall be allocated to the Class D Units to the same extent as such items would be so allocated if such Class D Units were Common Units that were then Outstanding.

(f) Distributions.

(i) Prior to the Class D Conversion Date, the Class D Units shall not be entitled to receive distributions of Available Cash pursuant to Section 6.3(a). Class D Units shall receive distributions of paid-in-kind additional Class D Units (such distribution, a “Class D Unit Distribution”) for each distribution period that distributions are made with respect to Common Units, including distributions for Common Unit Arrearages.

(ii) The number of Class D Units to be issued with respect to each Class D Unit in connection with a Class D Unit Distribution shall be the quotient of (A) the amount of the distribution declared for a Common Unit for the applicable distribution period divided by (B) the VWAP Price calculated as of the date such quarterly distribution on all Units is declared; provided that instead of issuing any fractional Class D Units to a holder of Class D Units, the Partnership shall round the aggregate number of Class D Units issued to such holder down to the next lower whole Class D Unit and pay cash in lieu of such fractional units, or at the Partnership’s option, the Partnership may round the number of Class D Units issued up to the next higher whole Class D Unit. Any Class D Units issued pursuant to this Section 5.13(f) shall have all rights of a Class D Unit, including rights to distributions in any period subsequent to such Class D Unit issuance.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.13(f) to the contrary, with respect to Class D Units that are converted into Common Units, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to a Class D Unit Distribution and a Common Unit distribution with respect to the same distribution period, but shall be entitled only to the distribution to be paid based upon the class of Units held as of the close of business on the applicable Record Date.

(iv) For each Class D Unit Distribution, the Partnership shall issue the Class D Units to such holder no later than the date the corresponding distributions are made on the Common Units for such distribution period. The Partnership shall issue to such holder of Class D Units by notation in book entry form in the books of the Transfer Agent, or at the election of such holder, a physical certificate.

(v) Subject to and without limiting the other provisions of this Section 5.13, and subject to Section 12.4(c), each Class D Unit shall have the right to share in distributions of cash, securities or other property and in the form of such cash, securities or other property (other than distributions pursuant to Section 6.3(a)) on a Pro Rata basis with the Common Units as if the Class D Units had converted to Common Units.

(g) Voting Rights. The Class D Units will have such voting rights pursuant to the Agreement as such Class D Units would have if they were Common Units that were then Outstanding and shall vote together with the Common Units as a single class, except that the Class D Units shall be entitled to vote as a separate class on any matter on which Unitholders are entitled to vote that adversely affects the rights or preferences of the Class D Units in relation to other classes of Partnership Interests in any material respect or as required by law. The approval of a majority of the Class D Units shall be required to approve any matter for which the holders of the Class D Units are entitled to vote as a separate class.

(h) Merger and other Extraordinary Transactions. Subject to Section 12.4(c), if (1) there shall be (a) a statutory unit exchange, consolidation, merger or combination involving the Partnership, other than a merger in which the Partnership is the continuing partnership and which does not result in any change (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination pursuant Section 6.3(e)) in Outstanding Common Units; or (b) a sale or conveyance as an entirety or substantially as an entirety of the property and assets of the Partnership, directly or indirectly, to another Person; and (2) pursuant to such statutory unit exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, Outstanding Common Units are converted or exchanged into or for stock (other than Common Units), other securities, other property, assets or cash, then each Class D Unit (including the Class D Units issued as a distribution) shall, as a condition precedent to such statutory unit exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, be converted into a Common Unit on a one-for-one basis; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Unitholder shall receive consideration which is greater in amount than the balance of such Unitholder’s Capital Account after taking into account all adjustments, including allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction through the date of such merger or other extraordinary transaction.”

4. Article V is hereby amended to add a new Section 5.14 as follows:

“Section 5.14 Transfers of Class D Units. The transfer of a Class D Unit shall be subject to Section 4.8, Section 6.1(d)(x)(B) and Section 6.11.”

5. Section 6.1(d) is hereby amended to amend and restate Section 6.1(d)(iii)(A) and to add new Sections 6.1(d)(iii)(C) and (D) as follows:

“(A) If the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of any property distributed (except cash or property distributed pursuant to Section 5.13 or Section 12.4) with respect to a Unit (other than a Class D Unit) exceeds the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of property distributed with respect to another Unit (the amount of the excess, an “Excess Distribution” and the Unit with respect to which the greater distribution is paid, an “Excess Distribution Unit”), then (1) there shall be allocated gross income and gain to each Unitholder receiving an Excess Distribution with respect to the Excess Distribution Unit until the aggregate amount of such items allocated with respect to such Excess Distribution Unit pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(iii)(A) for the current taxable period and all previous taxable periods is equal to the amount of the Excess Distribution; and (2) the General Partner shall be allocated gross income and gain with respect to each such Excess Distribution in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (aa) the quotient determined by dividing (x) the General Partner’s Percentage Interest at the time when the Excess Distribution occurs by (y) a percentage equal to 100% less the General Partner’s Percentage Interest at the time when the Excess Distribution occurs, times (bb) the total amount allocated in clause (1) above with respect to such Excess Distribution.

(C) With respect to the first taxable period of the Partnership ending upon, or after, the date of issuance of the Class D Units, and each taxable period of the Partnership thereafter, items of gross income, gain, loss or deduction for such taxable period shall be allocated among the Partners in such a manner as to cause the Per Unit Capital Amount of each Partner with respect to its Class D Units outstanding as of the time of such event to equal, as closely as possible, the Per Unit Capital Amount for a then outstanding Common Unit.

(D) With respect to any taxable period of the Partnership ending upon, or after, a Class D Conversion Date, and after the application of Section 6.1(d)(iii)(A), (B) and (C), Net Income or Net Loss for such taxable period shall be allocated among the Partners in such a manner as to cause the Per Unit Capital Amount of each Partner with respect to a Common Unit converted from a Class D Unit that is outstanding as of the time of such event to equal, as closely as possible, the Per Unit Capital Amount for a then outstanding Common Unit.”

6. Section 6.1(d) is hereby amended to add the reference “(A)” following the heading “Economic Uniformity” appearing therein and to add a new Section 6.1(d)(x)(B) as follows:

“(B) For the proper administration of the Partnership and for the preservation of uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof), the General Partner shall (i) adopt such conventions as it deems appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions; (ii) make special allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss; and (iii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (x) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) or Section 704(c) of the Code or (y) otherwise to preserve or achieve uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof). The General Partner may adopt such conventions, make such allocations and make such amendments to this Agreement as provided in this Section 6.1(d)(x)(B) only if such conventions, allocations or amendments would not have a material adverse effect on the Partners, the holders of any class or classes of Limited Partner Interests issued and Outstanding or the Partnership, and if such allocations are consistent with the principles of Section 704 of the Code.”

7. Article VI is hereby amended to add a new Section 6.3(e) as follows:

“(e) For the avoidance of doubt, upon any pro rata distribution of Partnership Interests to all Record Holders of Common Units or any subdivision or combination (or reclassified into a greater or smaller number) of Common Units, the Partnership will proportionately adjust the number of Class D Units as follows: (a) if the Partnership issues Partnership Interests as a distribution on its Common Units or subdivides the

Common Units (or reclassifies them into a greater number of Common Units) then the Class D Units shall be subdivided into a number of Class D Units equal to the result of multiplying the number of Class D Units by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of Common Units Outstanding immediately prior to such distribution or subdivision plus the total number of Partnership Interests constituting such distribution or newly created by such subdivision; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Units Outstanding immediately prior to such distribution or subdivision; and (b) if the Partnership combines the Common Units (or reclassifies them into a smaller number of Common Units) then the Class D Units shall be combined into a number of Class D Units equal to the result of multiplying the number of Class D Units by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of Common Units Outstanding immediately following such combination; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Units Outstanding immediately prior to such combination.”

8. Article VI is hereby amended to add new Sections 6.4 (i) and (j) as follows:

“(i) Reduction in Certain Distributions with respect to the WECU Final Consideration Adjustment Amount Difference. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and without limiting the other reductions described in this Section 6.4, the amount of Available Cash otherwise distributable to the holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights pursuant to Section 6.4 shall be reduced by:

(i) an amount equal to the WECU Final Consideration Adjustment Amount Difference with respect to the WECU Final Consideration Adjustment Reduction Quarter; or

(ii) in lieu of the reduction described in clause (i) of this Section 6.4(i), (A) upon the election of the holder of Incentive Distribution Rights in its sole discretion pursuant to written notice delivered to the Partnership prior to the Record Date with respect to the WECU Final Consideration Adjustment Reduction Quarter or (B) if the amount of Available Cash otherwise distributable to the holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights pursuant to Section 6.4 with respect to the WECU Final Consideration Adjustment Reduction Quarter is less than the sum of (x) the WECU Final Consideration Adjustment Amount Difference and (y) the Suncor Adjustment Amount Difference, an amount equal to the WECU Final Consideration Adjustment Quarterly Reduction Amount with respect to each Quarter within the WECU Final Consideration Adjustment Reduction Extended Waiver Period.

(j) Reduction in Certain Distributions with respect to the Suncor Adjustment Amount Difference. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and without limiting the other reductions described in this Section 6.4, the amount of Available Cash otherwise distributable to the holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights pursuant to Section 6.4 shall be reduced by:

(i) an amount equal to the Suncor Adjustment Amount Difference with respect to the Suncor Adjustment Reduction Quarter; or

(ii) in lieu of the reduction described in clause (i) of this Section 6.4(j), (A) upon the election of the holder of Incentive Distribution Rights in its sole discretion pursuant to written notice delivered to the Partnership prior to the Record Date with respect to the Suncor Adjustment Reduction Quarter or (B) if the amount of Available Cash otherwise distributable to the holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights pursuant to Section 6.4 with respect to the Suncor Adjustment Reduction Quarter is less than the sum of (x) the WECU Final Consideration Adjustment Amount Difference and (y) the Suncor Adjustment Amount Difference, an amount equal to the Suncor Adjustment Quarterly Reduction Amount with respect to each Quarter within the Suncor Adjustment Reduction Extended Waiver Period.”

9. Article VI is hereby amended to add a new Section 6.11 as follows:

Section 6.11 Special Provisions Relating to the Holders of Class D Units.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the holder of a Class D Unit shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Unitholder holding Common Units hereunder; provided, however, that immediately upon the conversion of any Class D Unit into Common Units pursuant to Section 5.13(d), the Unitholder holding a Class D Unit that is to be converted shall possess all of the rights and obligations of a Unitholder holding Common Units hereunder, including the right to vote as a Common Unitholder and the right to participate in allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction and distributions made with respect to Common Units; provided, however, that such converted Class D shall remain subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(d)(iii)(C) and Section 6.11(c).

(b) Subject to the transfer restrictions in Section 4.8, a Unitholder holding a Class D Unit shall be required to provide notice to the General Partner of the transfer of the Class D Unit at any time during the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days following such transfer and (ii) the last Business Day of the calendar year during which such transfer occurred, unless the transfer is to an Affiliate of the holder.

(c) A Unitholder holding a Common Unit that has resulted from the conversion of a Class D Unit pursuant to Section 5.13(d) shall not be issued a Common Unit Certificate pursuant to Section 4.1, if the Common Units are evidenced by Certificates, and shall not be permitted to transfer such Common Unit to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the holder until such time as the General Partner determines, based on advice of counsel, that each such Common Unit should have, as a substantive matter, like intrinsic economic and federal income tax characteristics, in all material respects, to the intrinsic economic and federal income tax characteristics of an Initial Common Unit. In connection with the condition imposed by this Section 6.11(c), the General Partner may take whatever steps are required to provide economic uniformity to such Common Units in preparation for a transfer of such Common Units including the application of Section 6.1(d)(iii)(C) and Section 6.1(d)(iii)(D); provided, however, that no such steps may be taken that would have a material adverse effect on the Unitholders holding Common Units.

B. Agreement in Effect. Except as hereby amended, the Partnership Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

C. Applicable Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

D. Severability. Each provision of this Amendment shall be considered severable and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Amendment that are valid, enforceable and legal.

Exhibit I

PERSONNEL SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Personnel Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is effective as of January 1, 2014, 12:01 AM Mountain Standard Time (the “Effective Date”), by and between Xxxxxxxx Canada Employee Services Inc. (“WCES”), an Alberta corporation and Xxxxxxxx Energy Canada ULC (“WECU”), an Alberta unlimited liability corporation.

RECITALS

WECU is in the business of producing, fractionating, storing and transporting natural gas liquids and olefins (the “Business”).

WECU requires personnel to perform certain services to operate the Business and to fulfill other general and administrative functions relating to the Business (the “Services”).

WCES has agreed to provide such personnel in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and WECU is willing to engage WCES subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Services. WCES shall, during the term of this Agreement, provide to WECU such employees (the “Assigned Employees”) to perform the Services. Such Assigned Employees will have the requisite skills, knowledge, training, experience, and competence to provide the Services.

Employer Obligation. WCES is the sole employer of the Assigned Employees for all purposes, and WECU shall not be the employer or common employer for any purpose.

Employee Compensation. WCES shall be responsible for the payment of any and all wages and other compensation to all of the Assigned Employees. In this regard, it is the responsibility of WCES to implement procedures that comply with rules and regulations governing the reporting and payment of all federal and provincial taxes on payroll wages paid under this Agreement including, but not limited to: (i) federal income tax withholding provisions of the Income Tax Act; (ii) provincial and/or local income tax withholding provisions, if applicable; (iii) Employment Insurance premiums; and (iv) Canada Pension Plan contributions. In addition, WCES shall be the rated employer for unemployment compensation purposes with respect to the Employees.

Intellectual Property. Any (i) inventions, whether patentable or not, developed or invented, or (ii) copyrightable material (and the intangible rights of copyright therein) developed, by the Assigned Employees in connection with the performance of the Services shall be the property of WECU.

Books and Records. WCES shall maintain accurate books and records regarding the performance of the Services and its calculation of the Payment Amount, as defined below, and shall maintain such books and records for the period required by applicable accounting practices or Law. Each party shall at all reasonable times have access to the other party’s books, records, files and other statements, documents or instruments reasonably relating to the services to be provided hereunder.

Payment to WCES. WECU shall pay WCES, subject to the terms of section 7 below, an amount equal to all direct and indirect expenses WCES incurs (including salary, bonus, benefits, withholding and employment taxes and other amounts paid to or on behalf of any Assigned Employee) to perform the Services (collectively, the “Payment Amount”). The allocation methodology WCES uses to allocate expenses to WECU shall satisfy US Internal Revenue Code Section 482 and Section 247 of Canada’s Income Tax Act. As deemed necessary by WCES, the Payment Amount may include an additional arm’s length fee or xxxx-up, as required under US Internal Revenue Code Section 482 and Section 247 of Canada’s Income Tax Act. Payments pursuant to this Section shall be in addition to any payment to WCES as a result of indemnification pursuant to any other Section in this Agreement.

Payment Terms: On or before the 10^th calendar day of each month, WCES shall notify WECU, in a mutually agreeable electronic format (e.g., e-mail, fax), of the Payment Amount due for the prior month. WECU shall pay WCES such amount on or before the last day of the month of notification. Any payments not received by this date shall bear interest at an arm’s length rate of interest (as determined under US Internal Revenue Code Section 482 or Section 247 of Canada’s Income Tax Act) from the date due until the date of payment. The Payment Amount shall be in Canadian dollars and all payments shall be remitted in Canadian dollars.

Benefit Plans. WCES, directly or through its Affiliates, may adopt and participate in employee benefit plans, employee programs, and employee practices (including paid time off payments, severance, retiree medical, retiree life, equity related awards, bonuses, vesting of employee benefits, retirement plans, and other employee or retiree related payments, obligations, liabilities or benefits) (collectively, “Plans and Practices”), in each case for the benefit of employees, former employees, and directors of WCES or any of its Affiliates, in respect of Services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of WECU. WCES, directly or through its Affiliates, has adopted and participates in (or in the future may adopt and participate in) Plans and Practices for the benefit of employees and former employees of WECU, the predecessor of WECU, and their Affiliates, in respect of services previously performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of WECU or its predecessor. Any and all expenses incurred or accrued by WCES or its Affiliates in connection with any such Plans and Practices shall be reimbursed by WECU in accordance with the procedures described in Section 6 and 7.

-2-

Confidential Information. Each of WCES and WECU may receive information that is proprietary to or confidential to the other party or its affiliated companies and their clients. Both parties agree to hold such information in strict confidence and not to disclose such information to third parties, other than the Partnership Parties or the Contributing Parties, or to use such information for any purpose whatsoever other than performing under this Agreement or as required by law.

10.

Permitted Disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority or otherwise as required by law, including without limitation disclosure obligations imposed under the federal securities laws, provided that such party has given the other party prior notice of such requirement when legally permissible to permit the other party to take such legal action to prevent the disclosure as it deems reasonable, appropriate or necessary.

11.

Term. Unless terminated earlier as provided below, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect except that (a) each party may terminate this Agreement upon 60 days’ advance written notice to the other party, and (b) WCES or WECU may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other party at such time as neither WCES nor its successor in interest is an affiliate of WECU or its successor in interest.

12.

Termination for Breach. If a party shall be in breach of any provision of this Agreement (the “Breaching Party”), the non-breaching party (“Non-breaching Party”) shall give the Breaching Party written notice of such breach (the “Notice”), and, subject to the terms of this Section, the Breaching Party shall have 30 days after receipt of the Notice within which to cure the breach, except that no Notice shall be required and this Agreement may be terminated with immediate effect if (a) the breach is an obligation to pay money, in which case the Breaching Party shall have ten business days to cure the breach; (b) the same breach occurs in any six-month period; (c) the breach pertains to the Breaching Party’s obligations under Section 9; or (d) a party files a petition in Bankruptcy (or is the subject of an involuntary petition in Bankruptcy that is not dismissed within 60 days after the effective filing date thereof).

-4-

claim made by a third party against a WCES Indemnified Party, which claim arises out of or is caused by (a) a breach of this Agreement by a WECU Indemnifying Party, or (b) any action or omission, including negligence (but excluding gross negligence or willful misconduct) of a WCES Indemnifying Party (as defined below) in connection with WCES’ obligations hereunder. WCES, (the “WCES Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify WECU (the “WECU Indemnified Party”) from and against all Damages sustained or incurred as a result of or arising out of or by virtue of any claim made by a third party against a WECU Indemnified Party, which claim arises out of or is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a WCES Indemnifying Party.

17.

All claims against WCES shall be deemed waived unless made by WECU in writing and received by WCES within six months after completion of the Services with respect to which the claim is being made.

19.

Force Majeure. A party’s obligation under this Agreement, other than an obligation to pay money and the indemnification obligations hereunder, shall be excused when and to the extent its performance of that obligation is prevented due to any cause beyond the reasonable control of a party, including the following causes (unless they are within such party’s reasonable control): acts of God, strikes, lockouts, acts of the public enemy, wars or warlike action (whether actual or impending), arrests and other restraints of government (civil or military), blockades, embargoes, insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, sabotage, tornadoes, named tropical storms and hurricanes, floods, civil disturbances, terrorism, mechanical breakdown of machinery or equipment, explosions, confiscation or seizure by any government or other public authority and any order of any court of competent jurisdiction, regulatory agency or governmental body having jurisdiction.

However, in no event shall a Delayed Party be required to settle any strike, lockout, or other labor dispute in which it may be involved, but in the event of a strike, lockout, or other labor dispute affecting WCES, WCES shall use reasonable efforts to continue to perform the Services by utilizing its management personnel and that of its Affiliates.

PERSONNEL SERVICES AND ALLOCATION AGREEMENT

This Personnel Services and Allocation Agreement (“Agreement”) is effective as of February 1, 2014 12:01 AM Mountain Standard Time (the “Effective Date”), by and between Xxxxxxxx Energy Canada ULC (“WECU”) an Alberta unlimited liability corporation, and Xxxxxxxx Horizon Offgas ULC, an Alberta Unlimited liability corporation (“WHO”).

RECITALS

WHO is in the natural gas liquids business related to the CNRL Horizon project (the “Business”).

WHO requires personnel to perform certain services to operate the Business and to fulfill other general and administrative functions relating to the Business, as well as certain office space and equipment relating to the operation of the Business (the “Services”).

WECU has agreed to provide such Services and allocate these costs to WHO in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and WHO is willing to engage WECU subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Services. WECU shall, during the term of this Agreement, provide to WHO such employees (the “Assigned Employees”) to perform the Services. Such Assigned Employees will have the requisite skills, knowledge, training, experience, and competence to provide the Services. WECU shall enforce and perform under the WCES Personnel Agreement so as to permit WECU to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Employer Obligation. The Parties acknowledge WCES is the sole employer of the Assigned Employees for all purposes. WHO shall not be the employer or common employer for any purpose.

Employee Compensation. WECU shall be responsible for ensuring the payment by WCES of any and all wages and other compensation to all of the Assigned Employees. In this regard, it is the responsibility of WECU to ensure implementation by WCES of procedures that comply with rules and regulations governing the reporting and payment of all federal and provincial taxes on payroll wages paid under this Agreement including, but not limited to: (i) federal income tax withholding provisions of the Income Tax Act; (ii) provincial and/or local income tax withholding provisions, if applicable; (iii) Employment Insurance premiums; and (iv) Canada Pension Plan contributions. In addition, WCES shall be the rated employer for unemployment compensation purposes with respect to the Assigned Employees.

Payment to WECU. WHO shall pay WECU, subject to the terms of section 7 below, an amount equal to all direct and indirect expenses WECU incurs (including, but not limited to, salary, bonus, benefits, withholding and employment taxes and other amounts paid to or on behalf of any Assigned Employee and office space, equipment and other general and administrative costs) to perform the Services (collectively, the “Payment Amount”). The allocation methodology WECU uses to allocate expenses to WHO shall satisfy US Internal Revenue Code Section 482 and Section 247 of Canada’s Income Tax Act. As deemed necessary by WECU, the Payment Amount may include an additional arm’s length fee or xxxx-up, as required under US Internal Revenue Code Section 482 and Section 247 of Canada’s Income Tax Act. Payments pursuant to this Section shall be in addition to any payment to WECU as a result of indemnification pursuant to any other Section in this Agreement.

Payment Terms. On or before the 10^th calendar day of each month, WECU shall notify WHO, in a mutually agreeable electronic format (e.g., e-mail, fax), of the Payment Amount due for the prior month. WHO shall pay WECU such amount on or before the last day of the month of notification. Any payments not received by this date shall bear interest at an arm’s length rate of interest (as determined under US Internal Revenue Code Section 482 or Section 247 of Canada’s Income Tax Act) from the date due until the date of payment. The Payment Amount shall be in Canadian dollars and all payments shall be remitted in Canadian dollars.

Benefit Plans. The parties agree that WCES may adopt and participate in employee benefit plans, employee programs, and employee practices (including paid time off payments, severance, retiree medical, retiree life, equity related awards, bonuses, vesting of employee benefits, retirement plans, and other employee or retiree related payments, obligations, liabilities or benefits) (collectively, “Plans and Practices”), in each case for the benefit of employees, former employees, and directors of WCES or any of its Affiliates, in respect of Services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of WHO. The Parties acknowledge that WCES, directly or through its Affiliates, has adopted and participates in (or in the future may adopt and participate in) Plans and Practices for the benefit of employees and former employees of WECU, the predecessor of WECU, and their Affiliates, in respect of services previously performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of WECU and WHO or its predecessors. Any and all expenses incurred or accrued by WECU or its Affiliates in connection with any such Plans and Practices, to the extent they relate to the Assigned Employees, shall be reimbursed by WHO in accordance with the procedures described in Section 6 and 7.

Confidential Information. Each of WECU and WHO may receive information that is proprietary to or confidential to the other party or its affiliated companies and their clients. Both parties agree to hold such information in strict confidence and not to disclose such information to third parties, other than the Partnership Parties or the Contributing Parties, or to use such information for any purpose whatsoever other than performing under this Agreement or as required by law.

Litigation; Laws and Regulations

Suncor Arbitration:

Name of Case: Suncor Energy Inc. x. Xxxxxxxx Energy Canada ULC Arbitration(s)


Parties:		Xxxxxxxx Energy Canada ULC (WECU)

		Suncor Energy Oil Sands Limited Partnership / Suncor Energy Inc. (Suncor)

Arbitration Panel: Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Q.C. (Vancouver Arbitration Xxxxxxxx)


Summary:		WECU and Suncor are parties to a long term offgas processing agreement which provides for a profit sharing arrangement under which a portion of the net value of the liquids produced from Suncor’s offgas stream, if positive, is paid to Suncor. The Aggregate Netback Price accrual account, which tracks associated revenues from product sales and costs (including operational, capital, and return), is currently negative.

		Suncor and WECU do not agree on (a) the price to be applied to propane (the postings used to determine the price are no longer in existence), and (b) the ability of WECU to make corrections to the Aggregate Netback Price accrual account that relate to historical calculation mistakes. The agreement provides that all disputes are to be referred to binding arbitration. Suncor initiated the arbitration on the propane price issue in mid-February 2013, and WECU initiated the arbitration on the Aggregate Netback Price corrections issue at the end of February 2013.

		The disputes have been consolidated and are being heard together.



Status (01/22/14):		On January 20, 2014 initial pleadings (Statements of Position) were filed by each party. Responses (Answering Statement of Position) are due to be filed February 3, 2014.

Environmental Matters

Fort XxXxxxxx pipeline license amendment:

The operating license governing the pipelines at the WECU Fort XxXxxxxx facilities which transport offgas from the compression and treatment facilities on the Suncor upgrader site to the liquids extraction plant require amendment due to H2S content.

When the pipelines were initially put into service, the H2S content specified in the license was entered as 0.0 H2S. In a meeting with the regulator on August 13, 2013, the regulator clarified that entering “0” H2S was common practice for pipelines that have H2S content below the sour service threshold. WECU notified the regulator that there is some H2S in these pipelines and that WECU intends to amend the license in the near future. The Alberta Energy Regulator has not required that the facility cease operations.

WECU has completed an engineering assessment, has gathered the data required to amend the license and is currently looking at the impacts of the amendment on emergency planning. WECU intends to submit an amendment application in the first quarter of 2014.
