AFFILIATE AGREEMENTS

The Partnership has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with Andeavor, under which we provide pipeline transportation, trucking, terminal distribution and storage services to Andeavor. Andeavor typically commits to provide us with minimum monthly throughput volumes of crude oil and refined products. For the natural gas liquids that we handle under keep-whole agreements, the Partnership has a fee-based processing agreement with Andeavor which minimizes the impact of commodity price movements during the annual period subsequent to renegotiation of terms and pricing each year.

In addition, we have agreements for the provision of various general and administrative services by Andeavor. Under our partnership agreement, we are required to reimburse TLGP and its affiliates for all costs and expenses that they incur on our behalf for managing and controlling our business and operations. Except to the extent specified under our amended omnibus agreement (the “Amended Omnibus Agreement”) or our amended secondment agreement (the “Amended Secondment Agreement”), TLGP determines the amount of these expenses. The Amended Omnibus Agreement and the Amended Secondment Agreement were amended and restated in connection with the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets purchase. Under the terms of the Amended Omnibus Agreement as of June 30, 2017, we are required to pay Andeavor an annual corporate services fee of $11 million for the provision of various centralized corporate services, including executive management, legal, accounting, treasury, human resources, health, safety and environmental, information technology, certain insurance coverage, administration and other corporate services. Andeavor charged the Partnership $5 million and $1 million pursuant to the Amended Secondment Agreement for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $10 million and $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Additionally, pursuant to the Amended Omnibus Agreement and Amended Secondment Agreement, we reimburse Andeavor for any direct costs actually incurred by Andeavor in providing other operational services with respect to certain of our other assets and operations.

PREDECESSOR TRANSACTIONS. Related-party transactions of our Predecessors were settled through equity. Our Predecessors did not record revenue for transactions with Andeavor in the Terminalling and Transportation segment.

DISTRIBUTIONS. In accordance with our partnership agreement, the unitholders of our common and general partner interests are entitled to receive quarterly distributions of available cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we paid quarterly cash distributions of $148 million to Andeavor and TLGP, including incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”). On July 19, 2017, we declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.971 per unit, which will be paid on August 14, 2017. The distribution will include payments of $75 million to Andeavor and TLGP, including IDRs. In connection with the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition, our general partner agreed to reduce its quarterly distributions with respect to incentive distribution rights by $12.5 million for each quarter in 2017 and 2018, including the three months ended June 30, 2017.
