12. Related-Party Transactions

Transactions with Loews. We are party to a services agreement with Loews, or the Services Agreement, pursuant to which Loews performs certain administrative and technical services on our behalf. Such services include internal auditing services and advice and assistance with respect to obtaining insurance. Under the Services Agreement, we are required to reimburse Loews for (i) allocated personnel cost (such as salaries, employee benefits and payroll taxes) of the Loews personnel actually providing such services and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses related to the provision of such services. The Services Agreement may be terminated at our option upon 30 days’ notice to Loews and at the option of Loews upon six months’ notice to us. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify Loews for all claims and damages arising from the provision of services under the Services Agreement unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Loews. We were charged $0.7 million, $0.6 million and $1.0 million by Loews for these support functions during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
