1.
Employment and Term.

(a)
Effective October 15, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), JvB resigns his position as
Executive Vice President of the Company (and from all officer positions of all
other members of the Company Group), but will continue his employment with the
Company as Strategic Advisor – Merchant Strategies and Asset Optimization, a
non-executive employee position, until the Termination Date (defined below) with
dual reporting to the President and Chief Commercial Officer (the “CCO”) as well
as the Senior Vice President – Commercial Activities (“SVP”). In his capacity as
Strategic Advisor, JvB shall provide his views, suggestions, advice and
assistance as the CCO and SVP may reasonably request. JvB may elect to
“telecommute” in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

providing any such services, but shall remain available for in-person meetings
as reasonably requested by the CCO or the SVP.

(b)
The Employee’s employment with the Company shall commence on the Effective Date
and terminate on September 30, 2020; provided; however, that (i) the Employee
may terminate his employment with the Company as of any date prior to September
30, 2020 by giving written notice to the Company at least 60 days prior to the
effective date of such termination, (ii) the Company may terminate the
Employee’s employment with the Company as of any date prior to September 30,
2020 by giving written notice to the Employee at least 60 days prior to the
effective date of such termination and (iii) Employee’s employment relationship
with the Company shall automatically terminate in the event of his death. The
date as of which the employment relationship terminates shall constitute the
“Termination Date” for purposes hereof.

2.
Compensation and Benefits.

 
(a)
JvB shall be paid a base salary at the rate of $200,000 per annum, payable
semi-monthly in arrears, while employed by the Company under the terms of this
Agreement and he will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual
discretionary bonus program. JvB’s annual bonus target will be equal to 50% of
his base salary; provided, however, that with respect to the calendar year
ending December 31, 2018, JvB’s annual bonus shall be no less than $100,000. In
addition, while employed by the Company hereunder, JvB shall remain eligible to

3.
Equity Grants. The parties agree that the LTIP Grant is the only equity grant

the phantom units subject to the LTIP Grant shall vest according to their terms
(i.e., as of the November 2018 Distribution Date).

4.
Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Release to the contrary,
JvB shall remain a full beneficiary with respect to any obligation of any member
of the Company Group (as such obligation exists as of the Effective Date with
respect to active officers and employees of such member) to indemnify, keep well
and hold harmless or similarly protect JvB against third-party claims.

Company Group, their respective parent, subsidiary and affiliate entities, and
the respective employees, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, agents
and representatives of each of the foregoing, past and present (such entities
and individuals being collectively, including all members of the Company Group,
the “Company Group Parties”), collectively and individually, from any and all
claims, demands, and causes of action or similar rights or liabilities against
any of the Company Group Parties, of any kind or character, whether now known or
not known, he may have against any such Company Group Party, in their corporate,
individual and representative capacities, including, but not limited to, any
claim for benefits, bonuses, compensation, costs, damages, expenses,

obligations of the Company under this Agreement) or that arise with respect to

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or comparable state or local
agency or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC
or comparable state or local agency; however, the Employee understands and
agrees that the Employee is waiving any and all rights to recover any monetary
or personal relief or recovery as a result of such EEOC, or comparable state or
local agency, proceeding or subsequent legal actions.

such 21-day period, it is agreed that JvB signs willingly and voluntarily, and
expressly waives his right to wait the entire 21-day period as provided in the
law.
(c)
JvB may revoke this Agreement within the seven-day period beginning on the date

accordance with Section 8 hereof before 11:59 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the

provided that JvB doesn’t revoke this Agreement pursuant to Section 5(c)

acquit and discharge JvB from any and all claims, demands, and causes of action
or similar rights or liabilities against JvB, of any kind or character, whether
now known or not known, they may have against JvB; provided, however, that
neither the Company nor any Member of the Company Group shall be deemed to have
waived any claims, demands, or causes of action against JvB for fraud, theft,
conversion or breach of the Confidentiality Agreement. The Company’s release of
claims under this Section 5(d) does not apply to any rights or claims the
Company or any member of the Company Group may have that arise after the
Effective Date (including, without limitation, those that arise pursuant to the
obligations of JvB under this Agreement).

6.
