| “The amount for which DEFS shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership Group pursuant to Section 3.1(b) for general and administrative expenses associated with the original assets that were part of the MLP’s initial public offering shall be a fixed fee equal to $4.8 million through calendar year 2006 (the “IPO G&A Expenses Limit”). After calendar year 2006, the IPO G&A Expenses Limit shall be increased annually by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index – All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average, Not Seasonally Adjusted for the applicable year (the “CPI Adjustment”). The amount for which DEFS shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership Group pursuant to Section 3.1(b) for general and administrative expenses associated with the contribution of the GSR assets to the MLP in the Contribution Agreement shall be a |
1
| fixed fee equal to $2.0 million for calendar years 2006 and 2007 (the “GSR G&A
Expenses Limit”), but shall be prorated for calendar year 2006 based on the number
of days remaining in calendar year 2006 following the Closing Date (as that term is
defined in the Contribution Agreement). The amount for which DEFS shall be entitled
to reimbursement from the Partnership Group pursuant to Section 3.1(b) for general
and administrative expenses associated with the acquisition of the Anadarko assets
by the MLP in the Anadarko Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be a fixed fee equal to
$200,000 for calendar year 2007 (the “Anadarko G&A Expenses Limit”), but shall be
prorated for calendar year 2007 based on the number of days remaining in calendar
year 2007 following the Closing Date (as that term is defined in the Anadarko
Purchase and Sale Agreement). The amount for which DEFS shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the Partnership Group pursuant to Section 3.1(b) for general and
administrative expenses associated with the acquisition of the Discovery interests
by the MLP in the Discovery Contribution Agreement shall be a fixed fee equal to
$158,000 for calendar year 2007 (the “Discovery G&A Expenses Limit”), but shall be
prorated for calendar year 2007 based on the number of days remaining in calendar
year 2007 following the Closing Date (as that term is defined in the Discovery
Contribution Agreement). After calendar year 2007, the GSR G&A Expenses Limit, the
Anadarko G&A Expenses Limit, and the Discovery G&A Expenses Limit shall be increased
by the CPI Adjustment. In the event that the Partnership Group makes any additional
acquisitions of assets or businesses or the business of the Partnership Group
otherwise expands following the date of this Agreement, then the IPO G&A Expenses
Limit, the GSR G&A Expenses Limit, the Anadarko G&A Expenses Limit and/or the
Discovery G&A Expenses Limit shall be appropriately increased in order to account
for adjustments in the nature and extent of the general and administrative services
by DEFS to the Partnership Group, with any such increase subject to the approval of
both the Special Committee of DCP GP’s Board of Directors and DEFS. For time
periods after calendar year 2008, DEFS and the General Partner will determine the
amount of general and administrative expenses that will be properly allocated to the
Partnership in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. |
