 and regardless of whether such violation under Section 3.01(f)(i) or such event, condition
or environmental matter included under Section 3.01(f)(ii) occurred before or after the Effective Date, in each case, to the extent that any of the foregoing do not constitute Covered Environmental Losses for which the Public Company Group is
entitled to indemnification from HIP LP under this Article III. 
 Section 3.02    Right of Way and
Real Property Indemnification. HIP LP shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Public Company Group from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by the Public Company Group by reason of or arising out of the following (collectively,

Company Group Member on the Effective Date are located as of the Effective Date, in each case, to the extent and only to the extent that such failure renders the Public Company Group liable to a third party or unable to use or operate the Assets in
substantially the same manner that the Assets were used and operated by the applicable Non-Public Company Group Member immediately prior to the Effective Date as described in the Registration Statement;

  

	(b)	the failure of the applicable Non-Public Company Group Member to have all consents, licenses and permits necessary to allow any such pipeline referred to in clause (a) of

immediately prior to the Effective Date as described in the Registration Statement; and 

  

	(c)	the cost of curing any condition set forth in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 3.02 that does not allow any Asset to be operated in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice;

 in each case, to the extent that Hess is notified in writing of any of the foregoing prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.02 to the contrary, to the extent that such Right of Way, fee ownership or leasehold interest can be acquired and the cost and expense of such acquisition is recovered by an
increase to the fees payable to the Public Company Group under the Tariff Agreements, no indemnity shall be owed under this Section 3.02.

	(f)	the failure of any Public Company Group Member to have on the Effective Date any consent, license, permit or approval necessary to allow such Public Company Group Member to own or operate the Assets in substantially the
same manner described in the Registration Statement.

operation of the HTGP Assets and occurring after the Effective Date (other than Covered Environmental Losses which are provided for under Section 3.01), unless such indemnification would not be permitted under the
Partnership Agreement by reason of one of the provisos contained in Section 7.7(a) of the Partnership Agreement.

Section 3.08    Indemnification Procedures. 
  

	(a)	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 Article III, it will provide notice thereof in writing to
the Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim. 

  
 15 

	(b)	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 Article III, including 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 that no such settlement shall
be entered into without the consent of the Indemnified Party unless it includes a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from such claim; provided, however, that no such settlement containing any form of injunctive or similar
relief shall be entered into without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. 

  

	(c)	The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner with the Indemnifying Party with respect to all aspects of the defense of, and the pursuit of any counterclaims with
respect to, any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article III for which a request for indemnification is made, including 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 or counterclaims, 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 or counterclaims, the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Party and the granting to the Indemnifying Party of reasonable
access rights to the properties and facilities of the Indemnified Party; provided 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 3.08(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, or the pursuit of any counterclaims with
respect to, any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article III; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, engage and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense
and counterclaims. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel engaged 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 and
counterclaims. 

  

	(d)	 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 (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Party, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be

  
 16 

	 	
net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such claim and (ii) all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under
contractual indemnities from third Persons. 

  

	(e)	With respect to Covered Environmental Losses, HIP LP shall have the sole right and authority to manage any remediation required by Applicable Law, and, upon reasonable request from HIP LP, the Partnership will, and will
cause each other Public Company Group Member to, cooperate with HIP LP and its contractors or subcontractors to facilitate such remediation. 

Section 3.09    Limitations on Indemnity Coverage. 
  

	(a)	With respect to Covered Environmental Losses under Section 3.01(a)(i) or Section 3.01(a)(ii), HIP LP shall not be obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Public Company Group Member unless the
applicable Covered Environmental Loss exceeds $100,000 (the “Environmental Deductible”), at which time HIP LP shall be obligated to indemnify such Public Company Group Member for the amount of all Environmental Losses
incurred by such Public Company Group Member; provided, however, that to the extent any cure or remediation of any environmental matter is required under Section 3.01(a)(i) or Section 3.01(a)(ii), HIP LP will be obligated to
indemnify the Public Company Group only to the extent of any cure or remediation that is required by Applicable Law (after giving effect to the Environmental Deductible); provided further, that in no event shall HIP LP be obligated to
indemnify the Public Company Group for any Covered Environmental Losses under Section 3.01(a)(i) or Section 3.01(a)(ii) in excess of $15,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Environmental Cap”). For the avoidance of
doubt, it is agreed that the Environmental Deductible shall not apply to any Covered Environmental Losses incurred by any Public Company Group Member related to the matters set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. 

 

	(b)	With respect to Covered Property Losses under Section 3.02, HIP LP shall not be obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Public Company Group Member unless the applicable Covered
Property Loss exceeds $50,000 (the “Property Deductible”), at which time HIP LP shall be obligated to indemnify such Public Company Group Member for the amount of all Covered Property Losses incurred by such Public Company
Group Member; provided, however, that to the extent the Public Company Group attempts to cure any matter for which it is entitled to indemnification under Section 3.02, HIP LP will be obligated to indemnify the
Public Company Group only to the extent of any reasonably required cure (after giving effect to the Property Deductible). 

  

	(c)	For the avoidance of doubt, there is no deductible with respect to the indemnification owed by any Indemnifying Party under any portion of this Article III other than as described in this
Section 3.09, and there is no monetary cap on the amount of indemnity coverage provided by any Indemnifying Party under this Article III other than as described in this Section 3.09.

 ARTICLE IV. SERVICES 

Section 4.01    General. Hess agrees to provide to MLP GP LLC, for the Public Company Group’s benefit, the general and
administrative services that Hess and its Affiliates have traditionally provided in connection with the ownership and operation of the Assets and any other assets held from and after the Effective Date by any Public Company Group Member, which
include the services set forth on Schedule II (the “Services”). Hess may subcontract with Affiliates or third parties for the provision of such Services to MLP GP LLC (for and on behalf of the Public Company Group).
MLP GP LLC may terminate any specific General and Administrative Service upon 30 days’ prior written Notice to Hess. 
 Section 4.02
Reimbursement and Allocation. 
  

	(a)	As consideration for Hess’s provision of the Services, MLP GP LLC will, or will cause another Public Company Group Member to, reimburse Hess for all reasonable direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred by
Hess in connection with the provision of the Services, including the following: 

  

	 	(i)	total costs, plus the relevant percentage mark-up set forth in Schedule IV, of each employee of, and each contractor, subcontractor, or other outside personnel engaged by,
Hess to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees and outside personnel perform Services for the Public Company Group’s benefit; 

  

	 	(ii)	any expenses incurred or payments made by Hess on behalf of the Public Company Group for insurance coverage with respect to the Assets or the business of the Public Company Group; 

 

	 	(iii)	all expenses and expenditures incurred by Hess on behalf of the Public Company Group as a result of the Partnership becoming and continuing as a publicly traded entity, including costs associated with annual, quarterly
or current reports, independent auditor fees, partnership governance and compliance, registrar and transfer agent fees, exchange listing fees, tax return and Schedule K-1 preparation and distribution, legal
fees, independent director compensation and director and officer liability insurance premiums; and 

  

	 	(iv)	any other out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Hess in providing the Services, as well as any other
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred on behalf of the Public Company Group. For the avoidance of doubt, MLP GP LLC shall, or shall cause another Public Company
Group Member to, reimburse Hess for all tax costs and expenses incurred or payments made by Hess on behalf of the Public Company Group, including all sales, use, excise, value added, margin, franchise or similar taxes, if any, that may be applicable
from time to time with respect to the ownership and operation of the Assets or with respect to the Services provided by Hess to the Public Company Group pursuant to Section 4.01. 

  
 18 

 To the extent any of the costs and expenses identified in this
Section 4.02 are reimbursed on an allocation basis, such allocation shall be determined by Hess’s then-current corporate transfer pricing practices, as generally applied in a
non-discriminatory manner. 
  

	(b)	Within 20 days following the end of each month during the term of this Agreement, Hess shall send to MLP GP LLC an invoice (in a form mutually agreed by the Parties) of the amounts due and payable by MLP GP LLC (for and
on behalf of the Public Company Group) for such month, including any adjustments due pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.02(b) by MLP GP LLC (for and on behalf of the Public Company Group). MLP GP LLC shall, or shall cause another Public
Company Group Member to, pay such invoice by the later of (i) 30 days of receipt and (ii) the last Business Day of the month in which MLP GP LLC received such invoice, except for any amounts that are being disputed in good faith by MLP GP LLC.
If Hess determines that the amount reflected on any invoice previously sent to, and paid by, MLP GP LLC (or another Public Company Group Member, as applicable) did not accurately state the amounts owed by MLP GP LLC (for and on behalf of the Public
Company Group) under this Article IV, Hess shall include appropriate adjustments on the next invoice; provided, however, that such adjustments shall be included only to the extent they relate to a month in the same calendar quarter as
such invoice relates; provided further that Hess and MLP GP LLC shall negotiate, in good faith, the timing of payment of any such adjustments. Any such adjustments shall be separately stated on each invoice and computed in such detail as is
mutually agreed by Hess and MLP GP LLC. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments that do not relate to a month in the same calendar quarter as such invoice relates shall not be due and payable by MLP GP LLC or any other Public Company Group
Member. Any amounts that MLP GP LLC has disputed in good faith and that are later determined by any court or other competent authority having jurisdiction, or by agreement of the Parties, to be owing from MLP GP LLC (for and on behalf of the Public
Company Group) to Hess shall be paid in full within ten days of such determination, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date due under the original invoice until the date of payment. Until such time as a HIP Change of
Control has occurred, MLP GP LLC and Hess may settle MLP GP LLC’s financial obligations to Hess hereunder through Hess’s normal interaffiliate settlement processes. 

 

	(c)	For the avoidance of doubt, the Services provided by Hess pursuant to this Article IV will be in addition to, and not in duplication of, the functions performed by the employees seconded to the Public Company
Group under the Secondment Agreement, and Hess shall not be entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement for any costs or expenses for which Hess is entitled to payment or reimbursements or which are intended to be covered by the Secondment Fee,
under the Secondment Agreement. 

  
 19 

 Section 4.03    Services Standard. Hess shall perform the Services using at least the
same level of care, quality, timeliness, skill and adherence to applicable industry standards as Hess does in providing similar services to its own Affiliates. 

ARTICLE V. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER 

Section 5.01    Right of First Offer to Purchase Certain Assets. 

 

	(a)	HIP LP, on behalf of itself and the other Non-Public Company Group Members, hereby grants to the Partnership a right of first offer, for a period (the “ROFO
Period”) beginning at the Effective Date and ending at the earlier of (i) ten years from the Effective Date, and (ii) the occurrence of a HIP Change of Control, on all or any part of the ROFO Assets to the extent that any Non-Public Company Group Member proposes to Transfer all or any part of any ROFO Asset; provided, however, that any Non-Public Company Group Member may Transfer
all or any part of any ROFO Asset to another Non-Public Company Group Member that agrees in writing that such ROFO Asset remains subject to the provisions of this Article V and such Non-Public Company Group Member assumes the obligations of HIP LP under this Article V with respect to such ROFO Asset. 

  

	(b)	The Parties acknowledge that any Transfer of all or any part of any ROFO Asset pursuant to the Partnership’s right of first offer is subject to the terms of all existing agreements with respect to the ROFO Assets
and shall be subject to and conditioned on the obtaining of any and all necessary consents of security holders, Governmental Authorities, lenders or other third parties; provided, however, that HIP LP hereby represents and warrants that, to
its knowledge after reasonable investigation, there are no terms in such agreements that would materially impair the rights granted to the Public Company Group pursuant to this Article V with respect to any ROFO Asset. 

Section 5.02    Procedures. 
  

	(a)	 If any Non-Public Company Group Member proposes to Transfer all or any
part of any applicable ROFO Asset (other than to another Non-Public Company Group Member in accordance with Section 5.01(a)) during the ROFO Period (a “Proposed Transaction”),
then HIP LP shall, prior to such Non-Public Company Group Member entering into any such Proposed Transaction, first give notice in writing to the Partnership (the “ROFO Notice”) of the
intention to enter into such Proposed Transaction. The ROFO Notice shall include any material terms, conditions and details as would be necessary for the Partnership to make a responsive offer to enter into the Proposed Transaction with the
applicable Non-Public Company Group Member, which terms, conditions and details shall at a minimum include any terms, condition or details that such Non-Public Company

  
 20 

	 	
Group Member would propose to provide to Persons who are not Non-Public Company Group Members in connection with the Proposed Transaction. If the
Partnership determines to purchase the ROFO Assets, the Partnership shall have 60 days following receipt of the ROFO Notice to submit a written offer to HIP LP to enter into the Proposed Transaction with such
Non-Public Company Group Member (the “ROFO Response”). The ROFO Response shall set forth the terms and conditions (including the purchase price the Partnership proposes to pay for the
ROFO Asset and the other terms of the purchase) pursuant to which the Partnership would be willing to enter into a binding agreement for the Proposed Transaction. If no ROFO Response is delivered by the Partnership within such 60-day period, then the Partnership shall be deemed to have waived its right of first offer with respect to such ROFO Asset, subject to Section 5.02(c). 

 

	(b)	Unless the ROFO Response is rejected pursuant to written notice delivered by HIP LP to the Partnership within 60 days of the delivery to HIP LP of the ROFO Response, such ROFO Response shall be deemed to have been
accepted by HIP LP, and such Non-Public Company Group Member shall enter into an agreement with the Partnership providing for the consummation of the Proposed Transaction upon the terms set forth in the ROFO
Response. Unless otherwise agreed between HIP LP, the applicable Non-Public Company Group Member and the Partnership, the terms of the purchase and sale agreement shall include the following:

  

	 	(i)	the Partnership shall deliver the agreed purchase price (in cash, Partnership Securities, an interest-bearing promissory note, or any combination thereof); 

 

	 	(ii)	such Non-Public Company Group Member shall represent that it has title to the applicable ROFO Asset that is sufficient to own and operate the applicable ROFO Asset in accordance
with its intended and historical use, subject to all recorded matters and all physical conditions in existence on the closing date for the purchase of the applicable ROFO Asset, plus any other such matters as the Partnership may approve;

  

	 	(iii)	the closing date for the purchase of the ROFO Asset shall occur no later than 180 days following receipt by HIP LP, on behalf of the applicable Non-Public Company Group Member, as
applicable, of the ROFO Response pursuant to Section 5.02(a); 

  

	 	(iv)	each of HIP LP, such other Non-Public Company Group Member and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all things that may be
reasonably necessary or advisable to effectuate the consummation of any transactions contemplated by this Section 5.02(b), including causing its respective Affiliates to execute, deliver and perform all documents, notices, amendments,
certificates, instruments and consents required in connection therewith; and 

  
 21 

	 	(v)	neither HIP LP, such other Non-Public Company Group Member nor the Partnership shall have any obligation to sell or buy the applicable ROFO Asset if any consent referred to in
Section 5.01(b) has not been obtained. 

  

	(c)	If the Partnership does not timely deliver a ROFO Response as specified above with respect to a Proposed Transaction that is subject to a ROFO Notice, HIP LP or such other
Non-Public Company Group Member, as applicable, shall be free to enter into a Proposed Transaction with any third party on terms and conditions no more favorable to such third party than those set forth in the
ROFO Notice. If HIP LP rejects a ROFO Response with respect to any Proposed Transaction, HIP LP or such other Non-Public Company Group Member, as applicable, shall be free to enter into a Proposed Transaction
with any third party (i) on terms and conditions (excluding those relating to price) that are not more favorable in the aggregate to such third party than those proposed in respect of the Public Company Group in the ROFO Response and
(ii) at a price equal to no less than 100% of the price offered by the Partnership in the ROFO Response to HIP LP. 

  

	(d)	HIP LP agrees that, if requested by the Partnership, HIP LP shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide information reasonably requested by the Partnership in order for the Partnership to prepare such
financial statements with respect to any ROFO Assets transferred to the Partnership pursuant to this Article V that meet the requirements of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder. 

  

	(e)	The Partnership can assign its rights and obligations under this Article V to any Public Company Group Member. 

ARTICLE VI.    LICENSE OF NAME AND MARK 

Section 6.01    Grant of License.    Upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Article VI,
Hess hereby grants and conveys to each of the Persons currently or hereafter comprising a part of the Public Company Group a nontransferable, nonexclusive, royalty-free right and license (“License”) to use the name
“Hess” (the “Name”) and any other trademarks or tradenames owned by Hess that contain the Name (collectively, the “Marks”). 

Section 6.02    Ownership and Quality.    The Partnership agrees that ownership of the Name and/or
the Marks and, in each case, the goodwill relating thereto shall remain vested in Hess both during the term of this License and thereafter, and the Partnership further agrees, and agrees to cause the other Public Company Group Members, never to
challenge, contest or question the validity of Hess’s ownership of the Name and/or the Marks or any registration thereof by Hess. In connection with the use of the Name and/or the Marks, the Partnership and any other Public Company Group
Members shall not in any manner represent that they have any ownership in the Name and the Marks or registration thereof except as set forth herein, and the Partnership, on behalf of itself and 

  
 22 

 
the other Public Company Group Members, acknowledge that the use of the Name and/or the Marks shall not create any right, title or interest in or to the Name and/or the Marks, and all use of the
Name and/or the Marks by the Partnership or any other Public Company Group Members, shall inure to the benefit of Hess. The Partnership agrees, and agrees to cause the other Public Company Group Members, to use the Name and/or the Marks in
accordance with such quality standards established by Hess and communicated to the Partnership from time to time, it being understood that the products and services offered by the Public Company Group Members immediately before the Effective Date
are of a quality that is acceptable to Hess and justifies the License. 

Section 6.03    Termination.    The License shall terminate upon any termination of this Agreement. The
License shall terminate, with respect to any Person that no longer qualifies as a Public Company Group Member, as of the time such Person no longer qualifies as a Public Company Group Member. In the event of a termination of the License as described
in this Section 6.03, as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 60 days after any such termination, any such Person that no longer qualifies as a Public Company Group Member shall eliminate the Name and the Marks,
including any and all variants thereof, from its assets, legal name and any of its other properties and, except with respect to such grace period for eliminating existing usage set forth in this Section 6.03, shall cease
the use of the Name and the Marks. 
 ARTICLE VII.    NOTICES 

Section 7.01    Notices.    All written notices, requests, demands and other communications required or

Section 9.01    Assignment.    No Party may assign its rights or delegate its duties under this

Section 9.02    Modification.    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. 

Section 9.03    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement, together with all Schedules attached hereto and the
Secondment Agreement (with respect to certain employee reimbursement matters), constitute the entire agreement among the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings,
negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements between the Parties in connection with the subject matter hereof
except as specifically set forth in, or contemplated by, this Agreement and the Secondment Agreement (with respect to certain employee reimbursement matters). 

Section 9.04    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

 Section 9.05    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of
this Agreement shall 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 shall be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any 

  
 25 

 
other provision hereof, and the Parties shall 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. 
 Section 9.06    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. No Limited Partner shall have any right, separate

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. 

Section 9.08    Non-Waiver.    The failure of any Party to
enforce any provision, condition, covenant or requirement of this Agreement at any time shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, condition, covenant or requirement unless the other Parties are so notified by such Party in writing.
Any waiver by a Party of a default by any other Party in the performance of any provision, condition, covenant or requirement contained in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision, condition, covenant or requirement, nor
shall any such waiver in any manner release such other Party from the performance of any other provision, condition, covenant or requirement.

the Assets and any other assets held from and after the Effective Date by any member of the Public Company Group. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in

 ARTICLE 1

 ARTICLE 2 

SECONDMENT 
 2.1
Seconded Employees. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Hess agrees to second the Seconded Employees to the General Partner, and the General Partner agrees to accept the Secondment of the Seconded Employees for the purpose of performing
job functions related to the Assets and any other assets held from and after the Effective Date by any member of the Public Company Group, including those job functions set forth on Exhibit B (the “Employee
Functions”). The Seconded Employees will remain at all times the employees of Hess, and will also be co-employees of the General Partner during the Period of Secondment. The Seconded Employees shall, at all times during the Period of
Secondment while performing any Employee Function hereunder, work under the direction, supervision and control of the General Partner or the applicable member of the Public Company Group. Seconded Employees shall have no authority or apparent
authority to act on behalf of Hess during the Period of Secondment. Those rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that relate to individuals that were Seconded Employees but then later ceased to be Seconded Employees, which rights
and obligations accrued during the Period of Secondment, will survive the removal of such individual from the group of Seconded Employees to the extent necessary to enforce such rights and obligations. 

  
 2 

 2.2 Period of Secondment. Hess will second the Seconded Employees to the General Partner
starting on the Effective Date and continuing, during the period (and only during the period) that the Seconded Employees are performing functions for the General Partner, until the earliest of: 

(a) the end of the term of this Agreement; 

(b) such end date set forth for any Seconded Employees as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Parties (as applicable, the
“End Date”); 
 (c) a withdrawal, departure, resignation or termination of such Seconded Employees
under Section 2.3; and 
 (d) a termination of Secondment of such Seconded Employees under
Section 2.4. 
 The period of time that any Seconded Employee is provided by Hess to the General Partner is
referred to in this Agreement as the “Period of Secondment.” At the end of the Period of Secondment for any Seconded Employee, such Seconded Employee will no longer be subject to the direction by the General Partner of the
Seconded Employee’s day-to-day activities. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge that the Seconded Employees may also perform functions for Hess in connection with its own operations and that the Parties
intend that the Seconded Employees shall be seconded to the General Partner only during those times that the Seconded Employees are performing functions for the General Partner hereunder. 

2.3 Withdrawal, Departure or Resignation. 

(a) Hess will use reasonable efforts to prevent any early withdrawal, departure or resignation of any Seconded Employee prior
to the End Date for such Seconded Employee’s Period of Secondment. If any Seconded Employee tenders his or her resignation to Hess as an employee of Hess, Hess will promptly notify the General Partner. During the Period of Secondment of any
Seconded Employee, Hess will not voluntarily withdraw or terminate any Seconded Employee except with the written consent of the General Partner, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Upon the termination of its employment with Hess, a
Seconded Employee will cease performing services for the General Partner or the applicable member of the Public Company Group. 

(b) Hess will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the General Partner, the other members of the Public Company Group and their
respective directors, officers and employees against all Losses arising out of or in any way connected with or related to the termination of employment of a Seconded Employee by Hess without the prior written consent of the General Partner, EVEN
THOUGH SUCH LOSS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ONE OR MORE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC COMPANY GROUP, except to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from the sole negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any
member of the Public Company Group. 

  
 3 

 2.4 Termination of Secondment. The General Partner will have the right to terminate the
Secondment of any Seconded Employee for any reason at any time. Upon the termination of the Secondment of any Seconded Employee, such Seconded Employee will cease performing services for the General Partner or the applicable member of the Public
Company Group. 
 (a) Upon the termination by Hess of any Seconded Employee’s Period of Secondment without the prior
written consent of the General Partner, Hess will be solely liable for any costs or expenses associated with the termination of such Seconded Employee’s Secondment, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement. Hess will
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the General Partner, the other members of the Public Company Group and their respective directors, officers and employees against all Losses arising out of or in any way connected with or related to the
termination of the Secondment of a Seconded Employee by Hess without the prior written consent of the General Partner, EVEN THOUGH SUCH LOSS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ONE OR MORE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC COMPANY GROUP, except to the
extent that such Losses arise out of or result from the sole negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any member of the Public Company Group. 

2.5 Supervision. 

(a) During the Period of Secondment, the General Partner will serve as the employer directly controlling the Seconded Employees
providing Employee Functions and will retain the exclusive right, solely to the extent it relates to the Period of Secondment, to: 

(i) be ultimately and fully responsible for the daily work assignments of the Seconded Employees during those times that the
Seconded Employees are performing functions for the General Partner hereunder, including supervision of their the day-to-day work activities and ensuring that such Seconded Employee’s performance is consistent with the purposes stated in
Section 2.1 and the job functions associated with the Employee Functions; 
 (ii) to handle any performance
issues of Seconded Employees; 
 (iii) set the hours of work and the holidays and vacation schedules for Seconded Employees;
and 
 (iv) have the right to determine training that will be received by the Seconded Employees. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hess shall be responsible for administering the payment of each Seconded Employee’s
wages and benefits, all withholding obligations to federal, state and local tax and insurance authorities, and all other costs and expenses associated with Seconded Employees, including workers’ compensation expenses. 

  
 4 

 (c) In the course and scope of performing any Seconded Employee job functions,
the Seconded Employees will be integrated into the organization of the General Partner, will report into the General Partner’s management structure, and will be under the direct management and supervision of the Company, in its capacity as the
general partner of the MLP GP LP, in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, respectively. 
 2.6 Seconded Employee
Qualifications; Approval. Hess will provide suitably qualified and experienced Seconded Employees to the General Partner for the performance of the Employee Functions that demonstrate a similar level of skill as those it employs to operate the
assets of its Affiliates, and the General Partner will have the right to approve such Seconded Employees. All Seconded Employees identified as of the Effective Date have been approved and accepted by the General Partner as suitable for performing
job functions related to the Employee Functions. 
 2.7 Workers’ Compensation Insurance. At all times, Hess will maintain
workers’ compensation or similar insurance (either through an insurance company or self-insured arrangement) applicable to the Seconded Employees, as required by applicable state and federal workers’ compensation and similar laws. 

2.8 Benefit Plans. Neither the General Partner nor any other member of the Public Company Group shall be deemed to be a participating
employer in any Benefit Plan during the Period of Secondment. Subject to the General Partner’s reimbursement obligations hereunder, Hess shall remain solely responsible for all obligations and liabilities arising under the express terms of the
Benefit Plans, and the Seconded Employees will be covered under the Benefit Plans subject to and in accordance with their respective terms and conditions, as may be amended from time to time. Hess and its ERISA Affiliates may amend or terminate any
Benefit Plan in whole or in part at any time. During the Period of Secondment, neither the General Partner nor any other member of the Public Company Group shall assume any Benefit Plan or have any obligations, liabilities or rights arising under
the express terms of the Benefit Plans, in each case except for cost reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 3 

SECONDMENT FEE 
 3.1
Secondment Fee. 
 (a) The General Partner shall, or shall cause another member of the Public Company Group to, pay on
a monthly basis to Hess the fees described in this Section 3.1 (the “Secondment Fee”) . The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Secondment Fee is intended to cover and reimburse Hess for the total costs actually
incurred by Hess and its Affiliates in connection with employing the Seconded Employees during the Period of Secondment (the “Total Services Costs”) to the extent such Total Services Costs are attributable to the provision of
the Employee Functions. Hess shall determine in good faith the percentage of the Total Services Costs that are attributable to the provision of the Employee Functions by the Seconded Employees to the General Partner based on Hess’s then-current
corporate transfer pricing policies, as generally applied in a non-discriminatory manner or based on such other reasonable cost allocation methodology as Hess shall determine. 

  
 5 

 (b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Secondment Fee shall not include any costs
associated with equity-based compensation granted by Hess or the General Partner to the Seconded Employees; provided, however, that to the extent the General Partner grants any awards under any incentive compensation plan of any member of the
Public Company Group in effect from time to time, such awards shall be at the General Partner’s sole expense and the General Partner shall, or shall cause another member of the Public Company Group to, reimburse Hess for any expenses Hess may
incur with respect to such awards. 
 (c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Secondment Fee may change from time to
time, as determined by Hess in good faith, to accurately reflect the costs actually incurred by Hess and its Affiliates in connection with the provision of the Employee Functions by the Seconded Employees, including to reflect any change in the cost
of employing the Seconded Employees. On or prior to January 1 of each calendar year during the term of this Agreement, Hess will provide the General Partner with an estimate of the Secondment Fee for the succeeding calendar year; however, Hess
shall have no liability hereunder on account of any differences between such estimate and the actual Secondment Fee, as invoiced to the General Partner in accordance with Section 3.1(d). 

(d) Within 20 days following the end of each month during the Period of Secondment, Hess shall send to the General Partner an
invoice (in a form mutually agreed by the Parties) of the amounts due for such month setting forth the applicable portion of the Secondment Fee then payable and any amounts reimbursable under this Agreement. The General Partner shall, or shall cause
the other members of the Public Company Group to, pay such invoice by the later of (i) 30 days of receipt and (ii) the last Business Day of the month in which the General Partner received such invoice, except for any amounts that are being
disputed in good faith by the General Partner. If Hess determines that the amount reflected on any invoice previously sent to, and paid by, the General Partner (or another member of the Public Company Group, as applicable) did not accurately state
the amounts owed by the General Partner (for and on behalf of the Public Company Group) under this Section 3.1, Hess 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 Hess and the General Partner shall negotiate, in good faith, the timing of payment of any such adjustments.
Any such adjustments shall be separately stated and computed in such detail as is mutually agreed by Hess and the General Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments that do not relate to a month in the same calendar quarter as such invoice
relates shall not be due and payable by the General Partner or any other member of the Public Company Group. Any amounts that the General Partner has disputed in good faith and that are later determined by any court or other competent authority
having jurisdiction, or by agreement of the Parties, to be owing from the General Partner (for and on behalf of the Public Company Group) to Hess shall be paid in full within ten days of such determination, together with interest thereon at the

  
 6 

 
Interest Rate from the date due under the original invoice until the date of payment. For so long as Hess Corp. and its Affiliates, collectively, hold at least 15% of the issued and outstanding
Equity Interests in HIP GP, the General Partner and Hess may settle the General Partner’s financial obligations to Hess hereunder through Hess’s normal interaffiliate settlement processes. 

3.2 Cancellation or Reduction of Services. The General Partner may terminate or reduce the level of any of the Employee Functions on 30
days’ prior written notice to Hess. In the event the General Partner terminates the Employee Functions, the General Partner shall, or shall cause another member of the Public Company Group to, pay Hess the applicable monthly portion of the
Secondment Fee for the last month (or portion thereof) in which it received Employee Functions. Upon payment thereof, the General Partner shall have no further payment obligation to Hess under this Agreement. 

3.3 Reimbursements for Other Costs and Expenses. This Agreement does not address the reimbursement of any costs or expenses associated
with any services provided by Hess and its Affiliates other than the Employee Functions. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts payable by the General Partner under this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not in duplication of, any amounts
payable by the General Partner or any other member of the Public Company Group under the Omnibus Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 4 

ALLOCATION; RECORDS 
 4.1
Allocation; Records. Hess will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain an allocation schedule reflecting the direct and indirect costs that are included in the calculation of the Secondment Fee. The General Partner and its
representatives will have the right to audit such records and such other records as the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with its verification of the Secondment Fee during regular business hours and on reasonable prior notice.

 4.2 Agent. The costs and expenses included in the Secondment Fee remain the primary legal responsibility of the General Partner as
the co-employer of the Seconded Employees during the Secondment Period. Hess agrees to act as agent for the General Partner in paying such amounts to the employees temporarily assigned under this Secondment Agreement. Hess agrees to indemnify and
hold the General Partner harmless from any and all Losses incurred by the General Partner or any other member of the Public Company Group that are related to Hess’s failure to carry out its duties as agent for the payment of such amounts as set
forth above. 
 ARTICLE 5
