FOR
GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION,
the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledge, the Parties hereby
agree
as follows:
1. |
Omnibus
Agreement Amendment.
The Omnibus Agreement is hereby amended by replacing Section 3.3(a)
in its
entirety with the following:
|
"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 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 to 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). After calendar year 2007, the GSR G&A Expenses Limit and the
Anadarko 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 and/or the Anadarko 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.
