ARTICLE VI

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.1 Liability for Taxes.

(a) Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable for, and shall each indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchasers from any unpaid Taxes (including related penalties and interest) imposed on or incurred by or with respect to their respective interests in the Subject Interests or the assets related to the Subject Interests, attributable to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or portion thereof to the extent occurring on or prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Purchasers shall be liable for any Taxes (including related penalties and interest) imposed on or incurred by or with respect to their interests in the Subject Interests or the Assets related to the Subject Interests attributable to any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date or portion thereof to the extent occurring after the Closing Date.

(c) Whenever it is necessary for purposes of this Article VI to determine the amount of any Taxes imposed on or incurred by or with respect to the Subject Interests or the Assets related to the Subject Interests for a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date which is allocable to the period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and the allocation is not otherwise prescribed by Applicable Law or agreement in effect as of the date hereof, such amount shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period.

(d) If SHLX receives a refund of any Taxes (including related penalties and interest) that Sellers are responsible for hereunder, or if Sellers receive a refund of any Taxes (including related penalties and interest) that SHLX is responsible for hereunder, the party receiving such refund shall, within ninety (90) days after receipt of such refund, remit it to the party which has responsibility for such Taxes hereunder. The parties shall cooperate in order to take all necessary and reasonable steps to claim any such refund.

(e) For federal income tax purposes, the parties agree to report any payments with respect to Section 2.4, Section 6.1, Section 8.1, and Section 8.2 as an adjustment to the Consideration.

Section 6.2 Cooperation.

(a) The parties will cooperate fully with each other regarding Tax matters and the preparation and filing of Tax Returns (including the execution of appropriate powers of attorney) and will make available to the other as reasonably requested all information, records and documents relating to Taxes governed by this Agreement until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or extension thereof or the conclusion of all audits, appeals or litigation with respect to such Taxes.

Section 6.3 Transfer Taxes.

Any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and/or fees arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement (each such Tax or fee, a “Transfer Tax”) shall be borne by the party on whom such obligation is primarily imposed by Applicable Law; provided, however, that SHLX shall bear any Transfer Tax for which SHLX is jointly and severally liable, and for which no other party is primarily liable, under Applicable Law. The party responsible for a Transfer Tax pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Tax. If required by Applicable Law, SPLC and SHLX shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. The parties shall cooperate to establish eligibility for any applicable exemption from any Transfer Tax.

Section 6.4 Allocation of Consideration.

The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon an allocation of the Consideration to the Subject Interests and further among the Mars Assets, the Explorer Subject Interests, the LOCAP Subject Interests, the Odyssey Assets and the Triton Assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes in compliance with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and Treasury Regulation Section 1.755-1, as applicable.

Section 6.5 Conflict.

In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Article VI and any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Article VI shall control.

The Sellers shall each have delivered to SHLX a certificate, dated as of the Closing Date and signed by an authorized signatory of the Seller, or of the Seller’s general partner if applicable, confirming the foregoing matters set forth in this Section 7.1(a) (respectively, the “SPLC Closing Certificate,” and the “SOPUS Closing Certificate”).

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Indemnification of the Purchasers.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, Sellers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold SHLX, its subsidiaries and their respective security holders, directors, officers, and employees, and the officers, directors and employees of the General Partner, but otherwise excluding SPLC, SOPUS, and their respective Affiliates (the “SHLX Indemnified Parties”), harmless from and against any and all Damages suffered or incurred by any SHLX Indemnified Party as a result of or arising out of (a) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of SPLC or SOPUS in this Agreement and (b) any breach of any agreement or covenant on the part of SPLC or SOPUS made under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, however, that for purposes of determining the amount of any Damages suffered or incurred by the SHLX Indemnified Parties, Operating’s acquisition of only 22.9% of the membership interests in Mars, 10.0% of the ownership interest in Explorer, 41.48% of the membership interests in LOCAP, and 22.0% of the membership interests of Odyssey shall be taken into account, such that the aggregate Damages described in this Section 8.1 suffered or incurred by the SHLX Indemnified Parties, would equal (where applicable) no more than (a) 22.9% of the total of such Damages suffered by Mars, (b) 10.0% of the total of such Damages suffered by Explorer, (c) 41.48% of the total of such Damages suffered by LOCAP, (d) 22.0% of the total of such Damages suffered by Odyssey, as the case may be. Any indemnification provided pursuant to this Agreement shall not be duplicative of any indemnification provided pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement or the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2016, by and among SPLC, SOPUS, SHLX and Operating. Further, if entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.1, the SHLX Indemnified Parties may seek indemnification from either SPLC or SOPUS, as applicable, but may recover an aggregate amount not to exceed the above specified percentage of the Damages and subject to all other limitations set forth in this Agreement, including Article VIII hereof.

Section 8.2 Indemnification of the Sellers.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Purchasers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (other than any of SHLX Indemnified Parties) and their respective securityholders, directors, officers, agents, representatives and employees (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Damages suffered or incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties as a result of or arising out of (a) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of a Purchaser in this Agreement or (b) any breach of any agreement or covenant on the part of a Purchaser made under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Any indemnification provided pursuant to this Agreement shall not be duplicative of any indemnification provided pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement.

Section 8.3 Survival.

All the provisions of this Agreement shall survive the Closing, notwithstanding any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of any party hereto, provided that the representations and warranties set forth in Article III and Article IV shall terminate and expire on the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, except (a) the representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in Section 3.9 (Taxes) shall survive until the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations (including all periods of extension and tolling), (b) the representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in Section 3.10 (Environmental Matters) shall terminate and expire on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, (c) the representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in Section 3.1 (Organization), Section 3.2 (Authority and Approval), Section 3.4(a) (Capitalization; Title to Subject Interests) and Section 3.16 (Brokerage Arrangements) shall terminate and expire on the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (d) the representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Section 4.1 (Organization and Existence), Section 4.2 (Authority and Approval) and Section 4.4 (Brokerage Arrangements) shall terminate and expire on the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Closing Date. After a representation and warranty has terminated and expired, no indemnification shall or may be sought pursuant to this Article VIII on the basis of that representation and warranty by any Person who would have been entitled pursuant to this Article VIII 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 8.3, no claim presented in writing for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII 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 VIII 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.

Section 8.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The indemnified party hereunder agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the indemnifying party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim.

(b) The indemnifying party shall have the right following receipt of notice from the indemnified party of a proceeding for which such person may be entitled to indemnification hereunder to assume control of all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the indemnified party that are covered by the indemnification under this Article VIII, including the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such claim or any matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement for only the payment of money shall be entered into without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless it includes a full release of the indemnified party from such claim; provided further, that no such settlement containing any form

of injunctive or similar relief shall be entered into without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. Until the indemnifying party so assumes control of the defense of any such claims, the indemnified party or indemnified parties may control all aspects of the defense of any such claims.

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

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

Section 8.5 Direct Claim.

Any claim by an indemnified party with respect to any Damages which do not result from a claim for indemnity involving a third party (a “Direct Claim”) will be asserted by giving the indemnifying party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, stating the nature of such claim in reasonable detail and indicating the estimated amount, if practicable. The indemnifying party

will have a period of ninety (90) days from receipt of such Direct Claim within which to respond to such Direct Claim. If the indemnifying party does not respond within such ninety (90) day period, the indemnifying party will be deemed to have accepted such Direct Claim. If the indemnifying party rejects such Direct Claim, the indemnified party will be free to seek enforcement of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 8.6 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) To the extent that SHLX Indemnified Parties would otherwise be entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 8.1(a), the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall be liable for Damages pursuant to Section 8.1(a) only if (i) the Damages with respect to any individual claim pursuant to Section 8.1(a) exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Minimum Claim Amount”) and (ii) the Damages for all claims pursuant to Section 8.1(a) exceed, in the aggregate, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Deductible Amount”), and then the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall be liable only for Damages pursuant to Section 8.1(a) to the extent of any excess over the Deductible Amount. In no event shall the Sellers’ aggregate liability to SHLX Indemnified Parties under Section 8.1 exceed Eighty-Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($82,500,000) (the “Ceiling Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Sellers’ aggregate liability to SHLX Indemnified Parties under Section 8.1 for breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties contained in Section 3.20 (Management Projections and Budget) shall not be subject to the Ceiling Amount but shall not exceed Four Hundred Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($412,500,000) and (ii) the Deductible Amount and the Ceiling Amount shall not apply to breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 (Organization), Section 3.2 (Authority and Approval), Section 3.4 (Capitalization; Title to Subject Interests), Section 3.9 (Taxes), Section 3.16 (Brokerage Arrangements), and Section 3.17 (Books and Records), provided, that the Sellers’ aggregate liability for all claims under this Agreement, including for breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties contained in such sections described in clauses (i) and (ii) and for breaches of covenants, shall not exceed the Consideration; and provided, further, however, that the payment and indemnification obligations of the Sellers pursuant to Article VI shall not be subject to any limitation in this Section 8.6(a) and shall be excluded from the determination of whether the maximum indemnification amount specified in the immediately preceding proviso has been reached or exceeded.

(b) For purposes of determining the amount of Damages, with respect to any asserted claim for indemnification by a SHLX Indemnified Party, such determination shall be made without regard to any qualifier as to “material,” “materiality” or Seller Material Adverse Effect expressly contained in Article III (except in the case of the term “Material Contract”); provided that this Section 8.6(b) shall not so modify the representations and warranties for purposes of first determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred.

(c) Additionally, neither of the Sellers, on the one hand, and neither of the Purchasers, on the other hand, will be liable as an indemnitor under this Agreement for any consequential, incidental, special, indirect or exemplary damages suffered or incurred by the indemnified party or parties except to the extent resulting pursuant to third party indemnity claims.

Section 8.7 Sole Remedy.

No party shall have liability under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby except as is provided in Article VI or this Article VIII (other than claims or causes of action arising from fraud or willful misconduct).

Each Party shall hold in strict confidence any Confidential Information it receives and may not disclose such Confidential Information to any Person, except for disclosures to (i) its Affiliates (other than Affiliates who are or may be a shipper on or a customer at the Terminals) or (ii) any consultant, auditor, accountant, contractor, agent, professional adviser, director, officer and/or employee of such Party or its Affiliate; provided, in each case, that such recipient agrees in writing to keep such information confidential. The Parties acknowledge that breach of the provisions of this Section 2.7 (Confidentiality; Press Releases) may cause irreparable injury for which monetary damages are inadequate, difficult to compute or both. Accordingly, the Parties agree that the provisions of this Section 2.7 (Confidentiality; Press Releases) may be enforced by specific performance.

(b) The confidentiality obligations provided in Section 2.7(a) (Confidentiality; Press Releases) shall not apply to disclosures (i) required by Applicable Law or (ii) to advisers or representatives of the Party, but only if such recipients have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.7 (Confidentiality; Press Releases). If a Party is required by Applicable Law to disclose any information that would otherwise be confidential under this Operating Agreement, such Party shall notify the other Party of such requirements as soon as legally permissible and provide the other Party the opportunity to resist such disclosure or seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy by appropriate proceedings.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7 (Confidentiality; Press Releases), the Company hereby agrees that it will not disclose to any Person other than a Member or its Affiliates (other than Affiliates who are or may be a customer at the Terminals) any commercial information, including, without limitation, compensation or payment terms, contained in any contract or agreement provided to the Company hereunder for its review or approval without the consent of the other Members. No press release or other public announcement related to the Terminals or the business of the Company shall be made by the Operator or Operator Personnel without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party shall disclose any Confidential Information if such disclosure (i) would require disclosure to any third parties pursuant to §15(13) of the Interstate Commerce Act [49 U.S.C. 15(13) (1976)] or (ii) is otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law, including under the Interstate Commerce Act.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.1 (Specific Project Costs), the Operator shall pay, or cause to be paid, (a) all authorized and approved (as contemplated in Section 4.3 (Authorization)) costs and expenses incurred in connection with its performance of the Services and (b) all authorized and approved (as contemplated in Section 4.3 (Authorization)) financial obligations of the Company related to the Terminals that may be due and owing (clauses (a) and (b) collectively, the “Specific Project Costs”) either out of the Company’s bank account(s) (the “Accounts”), out of its own funds or its Affiliate’s funds; provided that the Company shall fully reimburse the Operator or its designee for any and all Specific Project Costs the Operator or its Affiliate pays out of its own funds. Any payment made by the Operator or its Affiliate under this Section 3.1 (Specific Project Costs) shall not be deemed to be a waiver by the Company of the Company’s right to audit any related invoice in accordance with Section 5.2 (Audits). The Company shall ensure that the Operator or its Affiliate is duly authorized to draw upon all of the Accounts (and shall make all necessary arrangements with its financial institution(s)) for purposes of permitting the Operator or its Affiliate to pay (or reimburse itself or its Affiliate for) the Specific Project Costs. In the event the Operator reasonably anticipates that the funds in the Accounts are not sufficient to pay (or reimburse itself or its Affiliate for) the Specific Project Costs due for any month, then the Operator or Operator Personnel shall request the Company to cause sufficient funds to be deposited in the Accounts to cover all such anticipated Specific Project Costs and shall provide the Company with reasonable documentation to support such request.

3.2 Allocated Costs. The Parties recognize that the Services to be performed hereunder shall be performed in conjunction with the operation of other pipeline systems, production platforms, storage terminals and associated facilities owned or operated by the Operator or its Affiliates, and that certain resources, services and mobilizations will be shared in order to gain operational efficiencies which inure to the mutual benefit of all such systems, platforms and facilities. Costs associated with the activities mentioned above will be allocated to each facility (including the Terminals if applicable) on an equitable basis in accordance with the benefit to such facility from the expenditure of such costs. The methodology of such allocation will be determined, or caused to be determined, in good faith by the Operator; examples of Allocated Costs categories are found in Exhibit B (Accounting Procedures) attached hereto. The portion of the costs so allocated to the Terminals shall be the “Allocated Costs.” Details of any Allocated Costs shall be made available to the Company as reasonably requested by the Company and shall be subject to the audit provisions set forth herein.

3.3 Cost of Services. The total of the Specific Project Costs and the Allocated Costs shall be the “Cost of Services.” To the extent not so specified, billing and payment of the Cost of Services shall occur pursuant to any applicable intercompany services agreement or pursuant to standard intercompany billing and payment practices of United States based companies in the Royal Dutch Shell plc group.

3.4 Payment of Operator Personnel. The Company shall not be responsible for any claims brought by Operator Personnel for non-payment of any and all salaries, wages,

contributions, withholding deductions or taxes measured by such salaries, wages or compensation owed or owing by the Operator (or its Affiliate) to such Persons, and the Operator will release, defend and indemnify the Company for and against any such claims, including attorneys’ fees and costs. Any such indemnification shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Cost of Services.

3.5 Taxes. All taxes imposed by any federal, state, municipal or other government agency arising out of the Company’s possession or use of any deliverable pursuant to this Operating Agreement and actually paid by the Operator or SPLC, including, without limitation, all sales and use taxes, but excluding any taxes based on the net income of Operator or SPLC as required by the United States government or any state, municipal or other governmental agency, shall be reimbursed by the Company to the Operator or SPLC, as applicable.

3.6 Duplication. For the avoidance of doubt, the Cost of Services charged to the Company pursuant to this Operating Agreement will be in addition to, and not in duplication of, the functions performed pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, and neither the Operator nor Operator’s Affiliates shall be entitled to reimbursement under this Operating Agreement for any costs or expenses for which Operator or Operator’s Affiliate is entitled to payment or reimbursement as part of the Administrative Fee or otherwise under the Omnibus Agreement.

ARTICLE 4

OPERATING BUDGET AND CAPITAL BUDGET

4.1 Submittal. A formal and reasonably detailed operating budget (the “Operating Budget”) and capital budget (the “Capital Budget”) will be prepared by the Operator or Operator Personnel and submitted to the Company, along with reasonable supporting documentation, including economic or other justification for capital projects, by October 1st of each year, applicable to the following calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the operating and capital budgets adopted by Operator for the Terminals for the 2017 calendar year shall be the 2017 “Operating Budget” and “Capital Budget” for such assets for the remainder of the 2017 calendar year. The Operating Budget and the Capital Budget shall reflect costs and expenses consistent with the Services and standard of care stipulated in this Operating Agreement and shall set forth (a) the sums actually expended during the previous calendar year; (b) an updated forecast of the sums to be expended during the current calendar year; (c) the sums it proposes to expend during the next calendar year; and (d) such other information as is reasonably requested by the Company.

4.2 Approval. Within forty-five (45) calendar days of the submission by the Operator to the Company of the Operating Budget and the Capital Budget as set forth in Section 4.1 (Submittal), the Company shall notify the Operator or its designee in writing of its approval of such budgets in their entirety or, if applicable, the budgeted items it approves and the budgeted items it disputes; it being understood that any line item not approved by the Company shall be deemed disputed by the Company. Any disputed line item shall be considered a Dispute to be resolved in accordance with Article 10 (ARBITRATION). Until such time as such Dispute is resolved, the last approved Operating Budget for the line item in dispute (as it pertains to routine, operational matters and not capital projects under the Capital Budget), increased by ten percent (10%), will govern expenditures until a new Operating Budget for such line item has been approved by the Company for the upcoming calendar year.

4.3 Authorization. That portion of the then-current Operating Budget and the Capital Budget approved by the Company hereunder shall constitute authorization for the Operator to perform, or cause to be performed, the Services contemplated therein. The Operator and Operator Personnel are only authorized to expend the following amounts in connection with its performance of the Services: (a) any approved amounts under the Operating Budget and the Capital Budget and (b) such additional expenditures as the Operator determines, in its reasonable judgment, are necessary because of an Emergency or to assure the continued ordinary course operation of the applicable Terminal and its business. The Operator or Operator Personnel, as applicable, shall obtain the Company’s approval prior to the expenditure of any amounts not included in those amounts described in clauses (a) and (b) of the immediately preceding sentence. Regardless of whether prior approval is required, Operator shall have the duty to notify, or cause to notify, Company as soon as practicable after any Emergency of any expenditures required under (b) above.

The Operator shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, review and respond in a timely manner, not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days, to any claims or inquiries made by the Company regarding matters revealed by any such inspection, examination or audit. The Parties agree that if a claim is made by the Company regarding matters revealed by any such inspection, examination or audit which is not resolved within a period not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days after the Company sends the claim to the Operator or its designee, said claim shall be referred to arbitration as provided in Section 10 (Arbitration). If the Company does not challenge any financial statement or invoice submitted by the Operator or its designee to the Company within two (2) calendar years after the end of the calendar year of the date of such financial statement or invoice, such financial statement or invoice shall be presumed to be accurate. If any audit reveals an error in any invoice paid by the Company resulting in an overpayment by the Company, the Operator or its designee shall reimburse the Company for the amount of such overpayment, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate during the period from the date such invoice was paid until the date the Operator or its designee reimburses the

Company for such overpayment. If any audit reveals an error in any invoice paid by the Company resulting in an underpayment by the Company, the Company shall pay the Operator or its designee for the amount of such underpayment. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2 (Audits) to the contrary, the Operator is not obligated to disclose or make available to the Company any information prohibited by Applicable Law or restricted by contractual obligations of confidentiality.

The Company may exercise such right through any of its officers or any other duly authorized representative of the Company designated in writing by it.
