WHEREAS, each of the Partnership and the Company desire to effect an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company;
WHEREAS, the Company has historically provided to the Partnership certain administrative and financial services (the “Company Services”) and paid for certain costs and expenses of the Partnership in connection with the operations of the Partnership and administration of the Partnership’s interest in the Company (the “Expenses”); and
WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the orderly completion of the IPO and to enable the Partnership to continue to manage and monitor its investment in the Company, the Company and the Partnership desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions upon which the Company will continue to provide the Company Services to the Partnership and pay for the Expenses of the Partnership. 
NOW, THEREFORE, and in consideration of the mutual covenants, rights, and obligations set forth in this Agreement, the benefits to be derived therefrom, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. TERM. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue in effect until all expenses incurred in connection with the liquidation and winding up of the Partnership are fully paid and satisfied.
2.EXPENSES. During the Term, the Company shall pay directly, or reimburse within 30 days of receiving a reimbursement request from the Partnership, the direct and indirect Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Partnership in connection with the operations of the Partnership and the administration of its investment in the Company, including, without limitation, those expenses contemplated by Section 4.03 of the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, dated on or about the date hereof, or Section 4.08 of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Star GP Holdings, LLC, dated on or about the date hereof. The Partnership may advance the Expenses by directly paying third parties on behalf of the Company or by wiring funds to the Company.  The Company’s obligations under this Section 2 with respect to Expenses incurred on or prior to the expiration of the Term or the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6 hereof.

4.WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS.  Except as provided herein, this Agreement shall not be modified or amended, and no provision hereof shall be waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.
