As between the Parties, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible for or shall reimburse Enterprise for ad valorem Taxes imposed or assessed against Enterprise in connection with all PGP sold hereunder. Purchaser will provide Enterprise with properly completed exemption certificates for any Tax from which Purchaser claims an exemption. It is understood and agreed that solely by virtue of DocuSign Envelope ID: 2B7A1C8A-A220-4A4E-9E1E-347CAF708643 |
10 Purchaser’s assumption of responsibility for Taxes under this Section 9.1, Purchaser is not assuming any Superfund liability arising from the release of hazardous substances or waste, acts of pollution, general harm to the environment, or equivalent acts, including, but not limited to, responsibility for claims, damages, costs, fines, assessments or other such compensation related thereto; provided, however, nothing herein shall affect any such liability that Purchaser may otherwise have independent of this Section 9.1 for any of such matters, including, to the extent caused by Purchaser or due to Purchaser’s negligence or willful misconduct. PURCHASER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD ENTERPRISE HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO TAXES FOR WHICH PURCHASER IS LIABLE HEREUNDER. 9.2 Emission Requirements. In the event a Governmental Authority imposes an Emission Requirement of general application upon facilities handling PGP that is enacted, promulgated, adopted or modified after the Effective Date (for which drafts materially in the form of the relevant Emission Requirement were not published prior to the Effective Date) and as a result of Enterprise’s production of the PGP at the Splitters and/or transportation of the PGP to the Delivery Point, Enterprise is required to install or make installations in or modifications to the Splitters and/or the facilities used to transport PGP to, and/or deliver PGP at, the Delivery Point, and the additional operational expenses of such items exceeds $1,000,000.00 in any Contract Year (the “Emissions Capital Costs”), and Enterprise directly or indirectly incurs an Emission Compliance Expense, Enterprise will reasonably determine the per Pound cost. Promptly after such determination by Enterprise, Enterprise shall notify Purchaser in writing of Purchaser’s pro-rata share of such Emissions Capital Costs and Emission Compliance Expenses attributable to PGP purchased and sold hereunder through a per Pound increase to the PGP Price (“Purchaser’s Emission Cost Allocation”). Purchaser shall have 30 days from receipt of such notice from Enterprise to notify Enterprise in writing whether Purchaser accepts or rejects Purchaser’s Emission Cost Allocation. If Purchaser delivers such notice to Enterprise electing to accept Purchaser’s Emission Cost Allocation (or fails to deliver such notice within such 30 day period, in which case, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted Purchaser’s Emission Cost Allocation), then the PGP Price shall be increased by Purchaser’s Emission Cost Allocation. If Purchaser delivers such notice to Enterprise electing to reject Purchaser’s Emission Cost Allocation, then Enterprise shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Purchaser, provided notice of such right to terminate must be sent to Purchaser within 30 days following receipt by Enterprise of Purchaser’s rejection notice (it being understood that any such termination notice sent by Enterprise after such 30 day period shall not be effective). Unless Enterprise and Purchaser mutually agree in written, such termination by Enterprise shall be effective as of the end of the Contract Month following the Contract Month in which such notice from Enterprise is delivered to Purchaser. Enterprise shall provide Purchaser with information reasonably required to verify Enterprise’s increased PGP Price. Any such increase attributed to the Emissions Capital Costs will terminate once Enterprise shall have recovered the Emissions Capital Costs and Enterprise’s weighted average cost of capital attributable to the Emissions Capital Costs during a reasonably agreed to amortization period and as to the Emissions Compliance Expenses once said Emissions Compliance Expenses are no longer required. If an Emission Requirement prohibits Enterprise from receiving or Purchaser from making a reimbursement for Purchaser’s Emission Cost Allocation related to such Emission Requirement, there will be automatically added to this Agreement a provision which restores to Enterprise the same economic bargain as would have resulted if Purchaser, rather than Enterprise, had paid the Emission Compliance Expenses and be valid, legal and enforceable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Enterprise shall only be permitted to impose the Purchaser’s Emission Cost Allocation hereunder after any Emission Requirement actually becomes effective; by way of example, if an Emission Requirement is announced in January 2024 but is not effective until March 2027, Enterprise is not permitted to deliver any notice for or otherwise impose any cost increases (or terminate the Agreement) until March 2027.

Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for claims that the propylene delivered to Purchaser under this Agreement does not meet the PGP Specifications (“Off-Spec Product”) shall be as set forth in this Section 11.1. If Enterprise delivers to Purchaser Off-Spec Product hereunder, the Parties shall first negotiate in good faith to attempt to reach a mutually agreeable reduced price for such Off-Spec Product, and, if a mutually agreeable price is agreed to, then all Off-Spec Product purchased by Purchaser for such mutually agreeable price shall be deemed “PGP” for purposes of the Parties’ respective purchase and sale obligations hereunder. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on such a mutually agreeable reduced price, then at Purchaser’s option, it can elect to require Enterprise to replace the Off-Spec Product with PGP, and in such case, Purchaser shall promptly return the Off-Spec Product to Enterprise at the point(s) designated by Enterprise. 11.2 Limitation of Liability.

References to any API, GPA, ASTM, or similar publications encompass the latest edition, revision, or amendment thereof. From time to time, these chapters and sections are subject to change by their respective publishers, and such changes will supersede the specific references contained herein. Section 2.2 Measurement Equipment and Systems A. Flow Meters. Flow meters shall be installed in accordance with MPMS Chapter 5. B. Densitometers and Density Determination. 1. Enterprise does not allow the use of digital density meters. 2. Where required, densitometers, including Coriolis meters used for determining flowing density, shall be installed and calibrated in accordance with MPMS, Chapter 14. The output shall be connected directly into a flow computer capable of internally converting the densitometer’s output signal to corrected flowing density in g/cc. Proving is to be by entrapping a sample of the flowing stream at system conditions in a Pycnometer. The connections for the Pycnometer shall be installed in such manner as to ensure the same representative sample introduced to the densitometer is captured by the Pycnometer. The accuracy of the densitometer shall be verified at the time of the meter proving or when accuracy is in question. The accuracy of the densitometer must be within +/- 0.001 g/cc over the required range and repeatable to +/- 0.0005 g/cc. 3. Thermowells shall be installed to allow monitoring of the inlet and outlet temperature of the Pycnometer during calibration. 4. During a densitometer calibration, the difference between all outlet temperatures and pressures must be within +/-0.2 °F and +/- 5.0 psi of each other during the proof test. 5. For polymer grade propylene measurement, the density may be determined by the use sub-routine “Propyl”. DocuSign Envelope ID: 2B7A1C8A-A220-4A4E-9E1E-347CAF708643 |
Exhibit A – Page 3 6. For chemical grade propylene measurement, a density calculated using MPMS Chapter 11.3.3.2 may be used for density determination. When this calculated density is used, the Meter Factor shall be adjusted by a factor of 0.99871 to account for the composition changes. 7. For High Purity Isobutylene measured by a mass meter producing a mass pulse output, and mass proved, the meter does not need a densitometer. 8. Under no circumstances will a density measurement be utilized for transaction calculations without a proving or verification of the function during the ticket period. 9. Verification and calibration data will be supplied to Customer. 10. The proving intervals, tolerances, repairs, and methods of correction are the same as those provided elsewhere in this Exhibit, and the average of two successive Pycnometer provings will establish product flowing density, provided: (1) the two successive provings agree within 0.0005, and (2) the average of the two tests is within 0.0015 of the previously accepted calibration factor. C. Temperature Transmitters. Temperature transmitters shall be verified at the time of the meter proving using a certified thermometer or precision electronic temperature device. Temperature transmitters must exhibit a discrimination of at most 0.1o F, or better, and a variation between the flow computer display and a certified electronic or mercury liquid-in-glass thermometer no greater than 0.2o F. D. Pressure Transmitters. Pressure transmitters shall be verified at the time of meter proving using a reference gauge to ensure current readings exhibit pressure discrimination of not more than 1.0 psig, and the variation between the flow computer display and a certified test gauge does not exceed 3.0 psig. E. Flow Computers. Flow computers shall be capable of accepting pulses from the flow meter transmitter and signals from the pressure, temperature, and density transmitters. The flow computer shall convert, as required, and totalize these signals into flowing density, corrected flowing density, indicated volume, gross volume, mass, specific gravity at 60o F, and net volume. The flow computer and its operation shall comply with MPMS Chapter 21. For net volume determinations (for most products), the flow computer shall utilize the latest ASTM, API, and GPA standards for temperature and pressure corrections that are applicable to the product being measured. The weight of water shall be as provided in the latest version of GPA 2145. F. Composite Sampling Systems. Composite sampling is required for products transacted on a component Barrel basis and for quality verification of any product. If composite sampling is required, then the composite sampling system shall be installed and operated in accordance with GPA Standard 2174. The composite sampler shall be operated to collect flow-proportional samples, based on indicated volume. These samples shall be accumulated in and removed from floating-piston cylinders with mixing capability. ARTICLE III ACCOUNTING Section 3.1 Custody Transfer Tickets. Unless otherwise provided for by separate agreement, Enterprise shall furnish Customer with a batch custody transfer ticket, where batch may denote either quantity or time. Further, the batch shall be closed out at the start of Day on the first Day of the Month or such other period as Enterprise, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate. When provided, Daily custody transfer tickets are for the period of one Day. Section 3.2 Volume-Basis Streams. Unless otherwise provided for by separate agreement, for streams transacted on a volume basis the ticket shall identify the product and state the net volume in Barrels of product measured, and all factors associated with its production. Section 3.3 Mass-Basis Streams. Unless otherwise provided for by separate agreement, for streams that are transacted on a mass basis the ticket shall identify the product, state the total mass measured in pounds, show product analysis, and 1 Based on the work of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Shell Pipeline Corporation, “Chemical-Grade Propylene Density Measurement,” July 1983.

Exhibit A – Page 4 show total component Barrels (if required). Where required, total pounds mass shall be converted to pounds of each component based on its weight fraction as determined by analysis. If required, the component pounds shall then be converted to equivalent Barrels of each component utilizing the calculation procedure outlined in MPMS Chapter 14. The component density in a vacuum shall be in accordance to GPA Standard 2145. If required, the ticket shall identify the product and state the total mass, product analysis, and total component Barrels. ARTICLE IV MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS Section 4.1 Measurement Basis A. Mass Measurement 1. Inferred Mass: Inferred mass measurement is accomplished utilizing a flow-proportional composite sampler (if required), volumetric flow meter, densitometer, and flow computer to convert gross volumetrically measured Barrels using density in g/cc at flowing conditions, and corrected for instrument error, to total pounds mass according to the following formula: Total Pounds = Indicated Barrels x Meter Factor x Flowing Density (g/cc) x 350.5069 x DCF Where: 350.5069 is a conversion factor for converting g/cc to pounds/Barrel. 2. Direct Mass: Coriolis measurement is accomplished by utilizing a Coriolis meter and a flow computer to accumulate mass pulses from the flow meter transmitter and report in pounds. Measured pounds mass is calculated according to MPMS Chapter 5.6. B. Volumetric Measurement. Volumetric measurement may be accomplished utilizing a flow computer, a flow meter outputting volume pulses, and temperature and pressure transmitters. Where applicable, a densitometer shall be installed. In the case of purity products, Enterprise reserves the right to use a fixed specific gravity at 60o F and 14.696 psia in lieu of a densitometer for flow calculations. The proper API, ASTM, and GPA standards shall be used to calculate and totalize net Barrels. Section 4.2 Provings and Tolerances A. General 1. Meter provings, calibration of instruments, and maintenance of measurement equipment will normally be performed by Enterprise personnel, but these functions may be delegated to responsible third-party contractors under the direction of an Enterprise representative. 2. All provings shall be by the applicable MPMS standard. 3. For meters outputting a mass pulse: i. The prover shall be equipped with a densitometer installed and proved in accordance with MPMS Chapter 14. However, for polymer grade propylene, the density may be determined by the use of sub-routine “Propyl”, and for chemical grade propylene, MPMS Chapter 11.3.3.2 may be used to determine flowing density. ii. The Coriolis meter shall be proved as an inferred mass proving in accordance with MPMS Chapter 5.6. 4. For meters outputting a volume pulse: i. A live flowing density signal or fixed specific gravity at 60o F shall be used in the proving calculations. ii. The density measurement, if present, shall be verified using standard practices as outlined in MPMS Chapters 14. DocuSign Envelope ID: 2B7A1C8A-A220-4A4E-9E1E-347CAF708643 |
Exhibit A – Page 5 5. Unless otherwise impractical, no work shall be performed on the measuring element of a meter without first proving the meter. B. Proving Intervals 1. Each meter shall be proven when initially placed into service and immediately prior to and after maintenance. 2. Subsequent provings shall be made at least every 31 Flowing Days, not to exceed 45 Flowing Days. However, if operational issues, weather, or unavailability of a prover or prover contractor prevent the proving within 31 Flowing Days, then the proving interval may be extended to 45 Flowing Days. 3. If the consistency of the Meter Factor allows, and both parties agree, the proving interval between provings may be extended to up to six months. 4. If a party requests an unscheduled prove, then such party shall pay for all costs of the unscheduled prove unless the prove determines the instrumentation is outside of the applicable tolerances. Each party shall allow the other party to witness all provings made to measurement facilities. Proving will be conducted monthly or more frequently as the parties may elect. C. Meter Factor 1. When a meter is proved after initially being placed in service, a Base-Line Meter Factor shall be established. 2. If any maintenance is performed on a meter or a meter is replaced, a new Base-Line Meter Factor shall be established. 3. The new Meter Factor shall be used after each successful proving if it meets the proving criteria herein. D. Ticket Corrections. If the new Meter Factor deviates from the previous Meter Factor under like operating conditions by more than plus or minus 0.0025, then 1/2 of the volume measured since the previous proving shall be corrected using the new Meter Factor. If the time of malfunction can be determined by historical data, then the volume measured since that point in time shall be corrected using the new Meter Factor. The new Meter Factor may not be used to correct volumes measured more than 31 Flowing Days prior to the new proving, unless the Flowing Days between proves exceeds 31 Flowing Days, in which case the correction shall be for the Flowing Days between proves. If a correction is required, then a correction ticket shall be issued for the quantity corrected. E. Inferred Mass Combined Factor Shift: The mass measurement objective for inferred mass meters is 0.25% accuracy. In the inferred mass equation, both the Meter Factor and DCF are weighted equally. Therefore, a corrected meter ticket will only be written when the absolute value of the sum of the Meter Factor shift and DCF shift is greater than 0.0025. The following are examples: 1. Example 1: A meter exhibiting a shift in Meter Factor of 0.0024 combined with a densitometer exhibiting a DCF shift of -0.0018, would not require a meter ticket correction, as the sum of these two shifts results in a total factor shift of 0.0006. 2. Example 2: A meter exhibiting a shift in Meter Factor of -0.0024 combined with a densitometer exhibiting a DCF shift of -0.0018, would require a meter ticket correction, as the sum of these two shifts results in a total shift of 0.0042. F. Corrective Actions 1. If, as a result of a meter proof, a new Meter Factor deviates more than 0.0025 from the previous Meter Factor but less than 0.0050 from the Base-Line Meter Factor, then Enterprise’s field representative shall determine the corrective action, if any, to be taken. 2. If, as a result of a meter proof, the new Meter Factor deviates 0.0050 or more from the Base-Line Meter Factor, then the Enterprise field representative shall determine the corrective action, if any, to be taken, including removal, inspection, cleaning of the internals, repairing, zero verification, and replacing. If there is build-up on DocuSign Envelope ID: 2B7A1C8A-A220-4A4E-9E1E-347CAF708643 |
Exhibit A – Page 6 the internals, then the element or meter shall be cleaned and the meter re-proved. If physical repairs are made (e.g., replacement of a turbine rotor), then the meter shall be re-proved to establish a new Base-Line Meter Factor. 3. For mechanical flow meters requiring a wear-in period, after a 24-hour wear-in period, the meter shall be re-proved and if the Meter Factor changes more than plus or minus 0.0025 from the new Base-Line Meter Factor, then 1/2 of the volume measured shall be corrected using the latest Meter Factor. 4. For Coriolis meters, if the zero changes or the meter is cleaned, repaired, or replaced, then the meter shall be re-proved to establish a new Base-Line Meter Factor. The meter shall be zero verified and, if necessary, re-proved. If the Meter Factor changes more than plus or minus 0.0025 from the new Base-Line Meter Factor, then 1/2 of the volume measured shall be corrected using the latest Meter Factor. G. Enterprise or its designee shall record all required corrections to measured volumes and shall describe the findings, method of repair, and calculations used in making the correction on the meter proving report. A correction to the ticketed amount shall be issued. H. If Customer’s representative is not present during the proving, then Enterprise shall, if requested by Customer, within two business Days: (i) notify Customer of the findings; (ii) provide Customer with a meter proving report stating the findings, method of repair, and calculations used in making the correction; and (iii) provide Customer with a correction ticket for the amount corrected. Section 4.3 Custody Measurement Station Failure A. If a failure occurs on a custody measurement station or the station is out of service while product is being delivered, then the volume shall be determined or estimated (as mutually agreed to by the parties) by one of the following methods in the order stated: 1. by using data recorded by any accurately registering check measuring equipment; 2. by correcting the error if the percentage error can be ascertained by calibrations, tests, or mathematical calculations; or 3. by using such other method as the parties agree upon. Section 4.4 Sampling Procedures A. Purity Products do not require sampling. B. For all Flow proportional composite samples shall be removed from the composite sampler at the same time the meter is read and a custody ticket issued. C. Samples shall be analyzed pursuant to the appropriate test method specified by the applicable product specifications or contract. D. Three samples shall be taken from the composite sampler. One sample shall be retained by Enterprise for analysis, the second sample shall be retained by Customer for analysis, and the third shall be held as a referee. If Enterprise has taken custody, then its sample shall be analyzed and the analysis used to account for transfer. If Customer has taken custody, then its sample shall be analyzed using the Enterprise-specified test method and the analysis used to account for transfer. E. If requested, the referee samples shall be held for a period as agreed upon by the connecting party or a minimum of 30 Days from the date of sampling. F. If a malfunction of the sampling occurs resulting in no sample being taken or in an unrepresentative sample being obtained, then the following procedure shall be utilized in the order stated: DocuSign Envelope ID: 2B7A1C8A-A220-4A4E-9E1E-347CAF708643 |
Exhibit A – Page 7 1. the sample collected by any on-stream, back-up sampling device that has extracted a sample in proportion to the volume delivered shall be used; 2. an average of the composite samples taken over a mutually agreed time frame, not to exceed the last three months of properly sampled deliveries shall be used; 3. Daily grab samples shall to be used for the time in question; or 4. such other method as the parties may agree upon shall be used. G. Quality Testing. Where multiple sampling methods are allowed, Enterprise, in its sole discretion, will determine the preferred method. H. Cost of Referee Sample Analysis. If, as a result of the third-party laboratory analyzing the referee sample, the Enterprise analysis is used, then Customer is responsible for the applicable third-party laboratory costs. If, as a result of the third-party laboratory analyzing the referee sample, Customer analysis is used, then Enterprise is responsible for the applicable third-party laboratory costs. ARTICLE V MEASUREMENT DISPUTE RESOLUTION Section 5.1 Mass and Volume Metering. If both the Enterprise metering facility and the Customer metering facility are installed, operated, and maintained according to their respective measurement standards, both of which shall meet or exceed API standards, and the difference in measurement of mass or volume is less than or equal to 0.25%, then Enterprise’s measurement of mass or volume, whichever the case may be, will be deemed correct. If the difference is more than 0.25%, then Enterprise and Customer shall resolve the dispute by working together, using the best available information. Section 5.2 Analytical. Analytical disputes must be based upon laboratory analysis, using the Enterprise-specified test method, of both the Enterprise sample and the Customer sample from the custody sampler (as described above). After analyzing their respective samples according to the Enterprise-specified test method, if Customer and Enterprise are in disagreement, then they shall each send the other a copy of their respective sample results, and if the sample results differ by more than the GPA 2186/2177 reproducibility limits for one or more components, then the referee sample shall be taken to a mutually agreed upon third-party laboratory, which shall analyze the sample in accordance with the Enterprise-specified test method. If the third-party laboratory and Enterprise analyses disagree by more than the GPA 2186/2177 reproducibility limits for one or more components, then the third-party lab results shall be accepted by Customer and Enterprise as final and conclusive for the composition of the stream. If the third-party laboratory and Enterprise analyses agree within the reproducibility limits of GPA 2186/2177, then the Enterprise analysis shall be accepted by Customer and Enterprise as final and conclusive for the composition of the stream. Section 5.3 All other measurement disputes. Enterprise and Customer shall work together, using the best available information, to resolve the dispute. ARTICLE VI WITNESSING Section 6.1 Provings. Enterprise and Customer are each responsible for proving its respective measurement facilities. Each party shall allow the other party to witness all provings. For scheduled measurement facilities provings, a party shall give the other party at least 72 hours’ advance written notice of the date and time of the scheduled prove. Section 6.2 Use of out-of-tolerance equipment. A Customer’s witness signature does not constitute the approval of the use of out-of-tolerance equipment, but said signature does attest to the validity of the proving report. Section 6.3 Sampling. Each party may witness the other party’s sampling. The party performing such sampling shall provide the other party at least 48 hours’ advance notice of any such sampling.
