	4.	PAYMENTS; AUDIT 

 (a) Each Service Provider shall invoice the applicable Service
Recipient on a monthly basis with respect to Services provided during the preceding month to such Service Recipient, with any such invoice including any and all fees payable hereunder with respect to such Services, all amounts reimbursable to such

 7 







 
invoice and (ii) the last Business Day of the month in which the applicable Service Recipient received such invoice, except for any amounts that are being disputed in good faith by the
General Partner. If the Service Provider determines that the amount reflected on any invoice previously sent to, and paid by, the Service Recipient (or its Affiliate, as applicable) did not accurately state the amounts owed by such Service Recipient
under this Section 4(a), the Service Provider shall include appropriate adjustments on the next invoice; provided, however, that such adjustments shall be included only to the extent that they relate to a month in the same
calendar quarter as such invoice relates; provided further that the Service Recipient and the Service Provider shall negotiate, in good faith, the timing of payment of any such adjustments. Any such adjustments shall be separately stated and

payable by the Service Recipient or its Affiliates. Any past due payments owed by a Service Recipient to a Service Provider shall accrue interest, payable on demand, at the Interest Rate from the due date of the payment through the actual date of
payment.

reveals that the Service Recipient (or its Affiliate, as applicable) paid more than the applicable fees for any applicable audited period or service, the Service Provider shall reimburse the Service Recipient (or its Affiliate, as applicable) for
any amounts overpaid, together with interest at the Interest Rate accruing from the date such fees were paid by the Service Recipient (or its Affiliate, as applicable) to the date any overpayment was reimbursed by the Service Provider.

harmless Hess and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Hess Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Claims, and upon demand by
Hess, shall protect and defend the Hess Indemnified Parties from the same, alleged, asserted or suffered by or arising in favor of any Person, and shall pay any and all Losses incurred by, imposed upon or rendered against one or more of the Hess
Indemnified Parties, whether based on contract, or tort, or pursuant to any statute, rule or regulation, and regardless of whether the Claims are foreseeable or unforeseeable, all to the extent that such Losses are in respect of or arise from
(i) willful and material breaches by the General Partner of this Agreement or (ii) Claims by a third party relating to (A) willful and material breaches by the General Partner of this Agreement or (B) the Public Company
Group’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of the Public Company Group Services; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE GENERAL PARTNER SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY OR HOLD HARMLESS THE HESS INDEMNIFIED
PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY LOSSES TO THE EXTENT THEY RESULT FROM THE BREACH OF CONTRACT, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY HESS INDEMNIFIED PARTY. 

(c) Indemnification Procedure. The indemnified Party agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it becomes aware of facts
giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Section 10, it will provide Notice thereof in writing to the indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such Claim. 

(i) The indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect
to) any Claims brought against the indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification under this Section 10, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the
settling of any such claim or any matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the indemnified Party unless it includes a full release of the indemnified Party
from such Claim. 

  
 12 







 (ii) The indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the indemnifying Party,
with respect to all aspects of the defense of any Claims covered by the indemnification under this Section 10, including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to the indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other Notice relating
thereto that the indemnified Party may receive, permitting the name of the indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to the indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the indemnified
Party that the indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense and the making available to the indemnifying Party of any employees of the indemnified Party; provided, however, that in connection therewith the indemnifying Party agrees
to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the indemnified Party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished by the indemnified Party pursuant to this
Section 10(c). In no event shall the obligation of the indemnified Party to cooperate with the indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the indemnified Party an obligation to hire and
pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Section 10; provided, however, that the indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for
counsel in connection with any such defense. The indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the indemnified Party informed as to the status of any such defense, but the indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control
over such defense. 
 (iii) In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the indemnified Party is
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (A) any insurance proceeds realized by the indemnified Party, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental
insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such claim and (B) all amounts recovered by the indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third parties. 

(d) Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Party shall be liable or responsible to
the other Party or such other Party’s Affiliates for any consequential, incidental or punitive damages, or for loss of profits or revenues of any kind (collectively referred to as “Special Damages”), incurred by such
Party or its Affiliates that arise out of or relate to this Agreement, regardless of whether any such Claim arises under or results from contract, tort, or strict liability; provided that the foregoing limitation is not intended to and shall not
affect Special Damages imposed in favor of unaffiliated Persons that are not Parties to this Agreement.

	11.	FORCE MAJEURE 

 A Service Provider’s obligations under this Agreement may be
temporarily suspended during the occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure. As soon as possible upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure, such Service Provider shall provide the applicable Service Recipient with written Notice of
the occurrence of such Force Majeure (a “Force Majeure Notice”). Such Service Provider shall identify in such Force Majeure Notice the approximate length of time that it reasonably believes in good faith such Force Majeure
shall continue. During the period of the Force Majeure event, such Service Provider shall be excused from the performance with respect to its obligations related to the provision of the applicable Service(s) hereunder. The applicable Service
Recipient (or its Affiliate, as applicable) shall not be required to pay fees for any affected Service(s) during the Force Majeure. Such Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and to overcome the effects of such event
or circumstances and shall resume performance of its obligations as soon as practicable. 
  

	12.	ASSIGNMENT; BINDING EFFECT 

 No Party may assign this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that any Party may subcontract any of the Services provided by such Party hereunder so long as such Services continue to be provided in a manner consistent with past practices and industry
standards and in accordance with Section 7 above. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

	14.	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

 (a) Obligations. Each Party shall use reasonable
efforts to retain the other Parties’ Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose the same to any third party nor use the same, except as authorized by the disclosing Party in writing or as expressly permitted in this Section
14. Each Party further agrees to take the same care with the other Parties’ Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Excepted from these obligations of confidence and non-use
is that information which: 
 (i) is available, or becomes available, to the general public without fault of the receiving Party; 

(ii) was in the possession of the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to receipt of the same from the disclosing Party (it being
understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that this exception shall not apply to information of the Public Company Group that was in the possession of Hess or any of its Affiliates as a result of their ownership or operation of the Public Company
Group Assets prior to the Effective Date); 
 (iii) is obtained by the receiving Party without an obligation of confidence from a third
party who is rightfully in possession of such information and, to the receiving Party’s knowledge, is under no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; or 

(iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.


  
 15 







 For the purpose of this Section 14, a specific item of Confidential Information shall not be deemed
to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is embraced by, or underlies, more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party. 

(b) Required Disclosure. Notwithstanding Section 14(a), if the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose the
Confidential Information by a Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, or is required to disclose by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, any of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall
promptly advise the disclosing Party of such requirement to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective, in order that, where possible, the disclosing
Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances. The receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it is
required to disclose and shall cooperate with the disclosing Party in allowing the disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other relief. 

(c) Return of Information. Upon written request by the disclosing Party, all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in
whatever form shall be returned to the disclosing Party upon termination of this Agreement or destroyed with destruction certified by the receiving Party, without the receiving Party retaining copies thereof except that one copy of all such
Confidential Information may be retained by a Party’s legal department solely to the extent that such Party is required to keep a copy of such Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law and the receiving Party shall be entitled to
retain any Confidential Information in the electronic form or stored on automatic computer back-up archiving systems during the period such back-up or archived materials are retained under such Party’s customary procedures and policies;
provided, however, that any Confidential Information retained by the receiving Party shall be maintained subject to confidentiality pursuant to the terms of this Section 14, and such archived or back-up Confidential Information shall
not be accessed except as required by Applicable Law. 
 (d) Receiving Party Personnel. The receiving Party will limit access to the
Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees, attorneys and contractors that have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise or perform its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(the “Receiving Party Personnel”). The Receiving Party Personnel who have access to any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party will be made aware of the confidentiality provision of this Agreement, and will be
required to abide by the terms thereof. Any third-party contractors that are given access to Confidential Information of a disclosing Party pursuant to the terms hereof shall be required to sign a written agreement pursuant to which such Receiving
Party Personnel agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which written agreement will expressly state that it is enforceable against such Receiving Party Personnel by the disclosing Party. 

(e) Survival. The obligation of confidentiality under this Section 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a
period of two (2) years.

	15.	MISCELLANEOUS 

 (a) Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or
modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived in writing at any time by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof. No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, or any breach thereof, will be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized individual on behalf of the Party against which the waiver is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any term or condition or of any breach of this
Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. 

(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the schedules attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties
pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith. 

(c) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its
conflict of laws principles. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court of competent jurisdiction situated in the State of Texas United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, or if
such federal court declines to exercise or does not have jurisdiction, in the district court of Harris County, Texas. The Parties expressly and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of said courts and irrevocably waive any objection which they may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in such courts, irrevocably waive any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waive the right to object, with respect to such claim, action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court that such court does not have jurisdiction over such Party. The Parties hereby
irrevocably consent to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of Texas. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by Applicable
Law. 
 (d) Counterparts; Multiple Originals. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or
portable document format (.pdf)), all of which together shall constitute one agreement binding each of the Parties. Each of the Parties may sign any number of copies of this Agreement. Each signed copy shall be deemed to be an original, and all of
them together shall represent one and the same agreement. 
 (e) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
will be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance will be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to substitute for such provision a suitable and
equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. 

  
 17 







 (f) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. It is expressly understood that the provisions of this
Agreement do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is not a Party or the successor or permitted assignee of a Party. 
 (g) WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM OF ANY OBLIGATION
HEREUNDER. 
 (h) Schedules. Each of the schedules attached hereto and referred to herein is hereby incorporated in and made a part
of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. 
 (i) Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and
drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring
any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
