ARTICLE 2

SECONDMENT

2.1    Seconded Employees. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Operators agree to second the Seconded Employees to GP, and GP agrees to accept the Secondment of the Seconded Employees, for the purpose of performing the operational and maintenance activities that are described in Exhibit B (the “Operational Services”) which relate to those Assets set forth on Exhibit A (including the Secondment of such Seconded Employees as are needed to provide the Operational Services related to the Assets). When used herein, the term “Seconded Employees” means those employees of the Operators who are engaged in providing the Operational Services to GP from time to time. The Seconded Employees will remain at all times the employees of their respective Employing Operators, in addition they will also be temporary co-employees of GP during the Period of Secondment and shall, at all times during the Period of Secondment, work under the direction, supervision and control of GP. Seconded Employees shall have no authority or apparent authority to act on behalf of the Operators during the Period of Secondment. Those rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that relate to individuals that were Seconded Employees but then later ceased to be Seconded Employees, which rights and obligations accrued during the Period of Secondment, will survive the removal of such individuals from the group of Seconded Employees to the extent necessary to enforce such rights and obligations.

2.2    Period of Secondment. The Operators have seconded the Seconded Employees to GP starting on the ”Service Date” that is set forth next to each of the Assets listed in Exhibit A and continuing, during the period (and only during the period) that the Seconded Employees are performing services for GP, until the earliest of:

(a)    the end of the term of this Agreement;

(b) such end date for any Seconded Employees as may be mutually agreed by the Parties (the “End Date”);

(c) a withdrawal, departure, resignation or termination of such Seconded Employees under Section 2.3; and

(d) a termination of Secondment of such Seconded Employees under Section 2.4.

The period of time that any Seconded Employee is provided by the Employing Operator to GP is referred to in this Agreement as the “Period of Secondment.” At the end of the Period of Secondment for any Seconded Employee, such Seconded Employee will no longer be subject to the direction by GP of the Seconded Employee’s day-to-day activities. The Parties acknowledge

5        

that certain of the Seconded Employees may also provide services to their Employing Operators in connection with operations conducted by the Operators (“Shared Seconded Employees”) and the Parties intend that such Shared Seconded Employees shall only be seconded to GP during those times that the Shared Seconded Employees are performing services for GP hereunder.

2.3    Withdrawal, Departure or Resignation. If any Seconded Employee tenders his or her resignation to an Employing Operator as an employee of such Employing Operator, or if the employment of any Seconded Employee is terminated by an Employing Operator, the Employing Operator will promptly notify GP. During the Period of Secondment of any Seconded Employee, the Employing Operator will not voluntarily withdraw or terminate such Seconded Employee except with the consent of GP, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

2.4    Termination of Secondment. Subject to any restrictions contained in any collective bargaining agreement to which the Employing Operator is a party, GP will have the right to terminate the Secondment to GP of any Seconded Employee for any reason at any time. The Employing Operator will not, without GP’s express consent, agree to any future amendments to any collective bargaining agreement that would increase the type or degree of any limitations on GP’s ability to terminate the Secondment of any Seconded Employee. Upon the termination of any Seconded Employee’s Period of Secondment, the Employing Operator of such Seconded Employee will be solely liable for any costs or expenses associated with the termination of the Secondment, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement.

2.5    Supervision. During the Period of Secondment, GP shall:

(a) be ultimately and fully responsible for the daily work assignments of the Seconded Employees (and with respect to Shared Seconded Employees, during those times that the Shared Seconded Employees are performing services for GP hereunder), including supervision of their day-to-day work activities and performance consistent with the job functions associated with the Operational Services;

(b) set the hours of work and the holidays and vacation schedules (other than with respect to Shared Seconded Employees, as to which GP and the Operators shall jointly determine) for Seconded Employees; and

(c) have the right to determine training that will be received by the Seconded Employees.

In the course and scope of performing any Seconded Employee’s job functions, the Seconded Employees will be integrated into the organization of GP, will report into GP’s management structure, and will be under the direct management and supervision of GP (acting in its capacity as the general partner of, and on behalf of, the Partnership). GP agrees that with respect to any Seconded Employee who is otherwise represented by a union while working for any Employing Operator, GP will be assigned Employing Operator’s rights and responsibilities of any applicable collective bargaining agreement for the Period of Secondment as to any such employee, subject to any changes agreed to between any Employing Operator and any applicable union or as may be allowed by law. GP is not, hereby, agreeing to recognize any union or assume any bargaining obligation. Any and

6        

all recognition and bargaining obligations, to the extent that they exist, will remain with the applicable Employing Operator.

2.6    Seconded Employees Qualifications; Approval. The Employing Operators will provide such suitably qualified and experienced Seconded Employees as the Employing Operators are reasonably able to make available to GP, and GP will have the right to approve such Seconded Employees. All Seconded Employees identified as of the Effective Date have been approved and accepted by GP as suitable for performing job functions related to the Operational Services.

2.7    Workers Compensation. At all times, the Operators will maintain workers’ compensation or similar insurance (either through an insurance company or self-insured arrangement) applicable to the Seconded Employees, as required by applicable state and federal workers’ compensation and similar laws, and will name GP as an additional named insured under each such insurance policy.

2.8    Benefit Plans. Neither GP nor any of the Partnership Entities shall be deemed to be a participating employer in any Benefit Plan during the Period of Secondment. Subject to GP’s reimbursement obligations hereunder, the Operators shall remain solely responsible for all obligations and liabilities arising under the express terms of the Benefit Plans, and the Seconded Employees will be covered under the Benefit Plans subject to and in accordance with their respective terms and conditions, as they may be amended from time to time. The Operators and their ERISA Affiliates may amend or terminate any Benefit Plan in whole or in part at any time (subject to the applicable provisions of any collective bargaining agreement covering Seconded Employees, if any). During the Period of Secondment, neither GP nor any of the Partnership Entities shall assume any Benefit Plan or have any obligations, liabilities or rights arising under the express terms of the Benefit Plans, in each case except for cost reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3
SERVICES REIMBURSEMENT

3.1    Operational Expenses. On or before the tenth (10^th) Business Day after the end of each month during the Period of Secondment, the Operators shall send an itemized invoice (in a form mutually agreed upon by GP and the Operators) to GP detailing all amounts payable to each Operator with respect to the Seconded Employees in connection with the performance of the Operational Services during the preceding month (the “Services Reimbursement”). Except where a Flat Fee arrangement is in place pursuant to Section 3.3, the Services Reimbursement will based on actual Seconded Employee Expenses in accordance with Section 3.2. GP shall, within ten (10) calendar days of receipt, pay such invoice, except for any amounts therein being disputed in good faith by GP. For ease of administration, the Operators may permit GP to make payment of the full invoice amount to a single Operator, in which case such Operator shall be responsible for paying over any amounts due to the other Operators. Any amounts that GP has disputed in good faith and that are later determined by any court or other competent authority having jurisdiction, or by agreement of the Parties, to be owing from GP to an Operator shall be paid in full within ten days of such determination, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date due under the original invoice until the date of payment.

7        

3.2    Services Reimbursement. Subject to Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, the Services Reimbursement for each month during the Period of Secondment shall include all costs and expenses incurred for such month by the Operators for the Seconded Employees, including the following (collectively, the “Seconded Employee Expenses”):

(a) salary and wages (including payroll and withholding taxes associated therewith);

(b) cash bonuses;

(c) costs of matching and other employer 401(k) contributions;

(d) costs of pension benefit accruals;

(e) any cash expense associated with any deferred compensation plan;

(f) vacation, sick leave, personal leave, maternity leave and any other federal or state mandated leave;

(g) healthcare coverage, including medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage;

(h) flexible benefits plan, including medical care and dependent care expense reimbursement programs;

(i) short-term disability benefits and long-term disability insurance premiums;

(j) workers’ compensation insurance;

(k) premiums for life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance and any other insurance provided to the Seconded Employees by the Operators;

(l) the vesting of any long-term incentive awards, whether granted before or during the Period of Secondment;

(m) Termination Costs;

(n) business travel expenses and other business expenses reimbursed in the normal course by the Operators, such as subscriptions to business-related periodicals and dues to professional business organizations;

(o) any other employee benefit or compensation arrangement customarily provided to all employees by the Operators for which the Operators incur costs with respect to Seconded Employees; and

(p) any sales taxes imposed upon the provision of any taxable services provided under this Agreement; provided, however, that, GP and the Operators contemplate that the

8        

services provided pursuant to this Agreement are not taxable services for sales and use tax purposes.

Where it is not reasonably practicable to determine the amount of any such cost or expense described above, the Operators and GP shall mutually agree on the method of determining or estimating such cost or expense, which may include the application of an agreed percentage benefit load to a Seconded Employee’s salary and wages in order to value certain of the benefits listed above. If the actual amount of any cost or expense, once known, varies from the estimate used for billing purposes hereunder, the difference, once determined, shall be reflected as either a credit or additional charge in the next monthly invoice issued by the affected Operator, or in such manner as may otherwise be agreed between the affected Operator and GP.

3.3    Flat Rate Billing Option. As more particularly set forth in Exhibit A, in some cases GP and the applicable Operator have agreed on a flat annual fee to be paid in equal monthly installments as the Services Reimbursement for Operational Services associated with a specific Asset (a “Flat Fee”). Each such Flat Fee is based on the Operator’s good faith estimate of the annual aggregate Seconded Employee Expenses attributable to the Seconded Employees who will be providing the relevant Operational Services. The GP and the applicable Operator acknowledge and agree that the Flat Fee may change each calendar year, as determined by the applicable Operator in good faith, to accurately reflect the degree and extent of the Operational Services and/or any change in the cost of providing Operational Services to GP (including changes due to inflation and to changes in any applicable law, rule or regulation including any interpretation of such laws, rules or regulations).

At the end of each calendar year, GP will have the right to submit to the applicable Operator a proposal to reduce the amount of any Flat Fee for that year if GP believes, in good faith, that the relevant Operational Services for the year in question do not justify payment of the full Flat Fee for that year. If GP submits such a proposal to an Operator, such Operator agrees that it will negotiate in good faith with GP to determine if the Flat Fee for that year should be reduced and, if so, the amount of such reduction. If GP and the Operator agree that the Flat Fee for that year should be reduced, then the Operator shall promptly pay to GP the amount of any reduction for that year.

3.4    Adjustments Based on Period of Secondment. It is understood and agreed that GP shall be liable for Seconded Employee Expenses (whether being paid on a reimbursable or Flat Fee basis) to the extent, and only to the extent, they are attributable to the Period of Secondment. As such, if the Period of Secondment begins on other than the first day of a month or ends on other than the last day of a month, the Services Reimbursement for such month shall be prorated based on the number of days during such month that the Period of Secondment was in effect.

3.5    Adjustments for Shared Services. With respect to each Shared Seconded Employee, the appropriate Employing Operator will determine in good faith the percentage of such Shared Seconded Employee’s time spent providing services to GP (the “Allocation Percentage”). For each month during the Period of Secondment, the amount of the Services Reimbursement payable by GP with respect to each Shared Seconded Employee shall be calculated by multiplying the Seconded Employee Expenses for such Shared Seconded Employee times the Allocation Percentage for such

9        

Shared Seconded Employee; provided, however, that (i) since Flat Fees are established taking the Allocation Percentage into account, they shall not be subject to such monthly adjustment, and (ii) certain Seconded Employee Expenses shall not be allocated based on the Allocation Percentage or included in any applicable Flat Fee, but rather shall be allocated as follows:

(a) Termination Costs with respect to any Shared Seconded Employee shall be allocated between the Parties based upon the Allocation Percentage, provided that the Parties agree in advance to terminate such Shared Seconded Employee; otherwise, a Party who terminates a Shared Seconded Employee without first consulting with the other Party (including an actual or alleged constructive termination) shall be solely responsible for all Termination Costs related to such termination, other than any Termination Costs arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the other Party;

(b) travel expenses and other expenses incurred with respect to and/or reimbursable to a Shared Seconded Employee shall be paid by the Party for whom the Shared Seconded Employee was working at the time they were incurred, except that expenses related to activities that benefit both GP and the Employing Operator (e.g. some types of training) shall be shared by the affected Parties in accordance with the Allocation Percentage (or such other allocation as may be agreed between the affected Parties); and

(c) the taxes described in Section 3.2(p) shall be reimbursable in full by GP.

3.6    Cancellation or Reduction of Services. GP may terminate or reduce the level of any of the Operational Services on 30 days’ prior written notice to the Operators. In the event GP reduces the level of any Operational Services covered by a Flat Fee, the affected Operator and GP shall agree in good faith an appropriate reduction in the Flat Fee. In the event GP terminates the Operational Services, GP shall pay the Operators for the last month (or portion thereof) in which it received services plus any other amounts outstanding to the Operators.

3.7    Reimbursements for Other Operational Expenses. This Agreement does not address the reimbursement of any costs or expenses associated with Operational Services other than Seconded Employee Expenses. To the extent that an Operator or any Affiliate of an Operator incurs any out-of-pocket expenses (other than Seconded Employee Expenses) in connection with the provision of Operational Services, such Operator or Affiliate may be entitled to reimbursement therefor under the terms of the Partnership Agreement or the Omnibus Agreement.

ARTICLE 4
ALLOCATION; RECORDS; PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

4.1    Allocation; Records. The Operators will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain an allocation schedule reflecting the direct and indirect costs of the Seconded Employee Expenses based on the services that the Seconded Employees have provided to GP in relation to the Assets. GP will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep and maintain books/records reflecting hours worked and costs and expenses incurred in connection with each of the Seconded

10        

Employees. Each Party will have the right to audit such records maintained by the other during regular business hours and on reasonable prior notice. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1 shall not apply when a Flat Fee arrangement is in place, but in such event the Parties shall maintain a schedule showing the basis on which the Flat Fee was established, as well as schedules showing how any subsequent adjustments to the Flat Fee were determined.

4.2    Payment. The Operators agree to pay, as agent for GP, the Seconded Employee Expenses (or provide the employee benefits with respect thereto, as applicable) of the employees temporarily assigned to GP under this Agreement, subject to GP’s reimbursement obligations under Article 3. Subject to GP’s reimbursement obligations under Article 3, the Operators agree to indemnify and hold GP harmless from any and all Losses incurred by GP or any of the Partnership Entities related to the Operators’ failure to carry out their duties to pay or provide employee benefits to the Seconded Employees, except to the extent that such Losses arise solely out of or result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of GP.

ARTICLE 5
TERM

The term of this Agreement commenced on the Effective Date and will continue for an initial period of ten years from the last occurring “Service Date” for the Assets as set forth in Exhibit A, provided however the term of this Agreement with respect any particular Asset will continue for an initial period of ten years from the “Service Date for that Asset as set forth in Exhibit A. Upon the expiration of the initial ten year period, the term of this Agreement shall automatically extend for successive one year extension terms, unless either Party provides at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the other Party prior to the expiration of the initial ten year period or any extension term that the Party wishes for this Agreement to expire at the end of the initial ten year period or the then-current extension term, as applicable. Upon proper notice by a Party to the other Party, in accordance with this Article 5, that the Party wishes for this Agreement to expire on the expiration of the applicable period, this Agreement shall not automatically extend, but shall instead expire upon the expiration of the applicable period and only those provisions that, by their terms, expressly survive this Agreement shall so survive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GP may terminate this agreement at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to the Operators and only those provisions that, by their terms, expressly survive this Agreement shall so survive.
