from and against all Liabilities, in any way arising out of, related to, or connected with any of the following: 

  

	 	(A)	Any breach by Seller of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties. 

  

	 	(B)	Any breach by Seller of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement. 

  

	 	14.6	 Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification remedies in this Section 14 shall,
from and after the Closing, constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, including statutory or other claims arising under Applicable
Law. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives and releases from and after the Closing to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all rights, claims, and causes of action, with respect to the
subject matter of this Agreement, they may have against another Party, their respective Affiliates and their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Applicable Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions in this
Agreement. Except for claims made pursuant to the express indemnification provisions of this Section 14, Buyer and SHLX on behalf of each Buyer Party and Seller on behalf of each Seller Party shall be
deemed to have waived, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, any right of contribution against Seller or any of its Affiliates and any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against Seller or any of its Affiliates or
Buyer or SHLX or any of their Affiliates, respectively, arising under or based on any federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation or common law or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 14.6 shall  

  
 22 

	 	
prevent any Party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in pursuit of its indemnification claims under this Section 14 or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.

  

	 	14.7	WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NO PARTY NOR ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO ANY INDEMNITEE FOR ANY:
(A) PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES; OR (B) LOST PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, EXCEPT IN EACH CASE TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH LOST PROFITS OR DAMAGES ARE INCLUDED IN ANY ACTION BY A THIRD PARTY AGAINST SUCH
INDEMNITEE AND TO THE EXTENT SUCH ACTION IS INDEMNIFIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. 

  

	 	14.8	Defense Of Claims. Claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved as follows: 

  

	 	(A)	Whenever a Party (“Indemnifying Party”) indemnifies a Party entitled to seek indemnification under this Agreement (“Indemnitee”) against Liabilities, the Indemnifying Party shall defend
and hold the Indemnitee harmless against those Liabilities and against all reasonable costs, expenses and fees of any kind (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnitee in defending those Liabilities. 

 

	 	(B)	If any Party notifies an Indemnitee of any claim that a Third Party intends to bring or has brought (a “Third Party Claim”) which gives rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party
under this Agreement, then the Indemnitee shall promptly, and in any event within thirty Business Days after receiving notice of the Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party of the Third Party Claim, giving reasonably detailed information
concerning the Third Party Claim. 

  

	 	(C)	The Indemnifying Party shall, if requested in writing by the Indemnitee, conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim at its sole cost. An Indemnitee has the right to reasonably object to counsel selected by the
Indemnifying Party and propose alternative counsel at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. 

  

	 	(D)	Unless and until an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 14.8(C) the Indemnitee may defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably deems
appropriate at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. 

  

	 	(E)	The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

  

	 	(F)	Notwithstanding Section 14.8(D), the Indemnitee shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

  

	 	(G)	If a Third Party Claim is made, each Party shall provide to the other Parties and their authorized employees and its professional advisers all material technical, legal and financial information necessary or conducive
to the proper defense of the Third Party Claim. Each Party shall keep all such information confidential and only use the information in connection with the Third Party Claim. 

  
 23 

	 	14.9	Direct Claim. Any claim by an Indemnitee on account of Liabilities that does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably
prompt notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty days after the Indemnitee obtains actual knowledge of the events or condition that gave rise to such Direct Claim; provided, however, failure to timely provide such notice shall not
affect the right of the Indemnitee to indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay or omission. Such notice by the Indemnitee shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail,
shall include copies of all available material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party shall have
thirty days within which to respond in writing and to either accept or reject, in whole or in part, such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have
rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. 

 

	 	14.10	Other Limitations on Liability. 

  

	 	(A)	GENERAL. THE INDEMNIFICATION, RELEASE AND ASSUMED OBLIGATIONS PROVISIONS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE LIABILITIES, LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES AND DAMAGES IN
QUESTION AROSE OR RESULTED SOLELY OR IN PART FROM THE SOLE, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT OR VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAW OF OR BY ANY INDEMNITEE, BUT NOT THE FRAUD OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT OF ANY INDEMNITEE. BUYER, SHLX, AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS STATEMENT COMPLIES WITH THE EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE AND IS CONSPICUOUS. 

  

	 	(B)	Individual Threshold. Except with respect to Fundamental Representations for which there shall be no individual threshold, Seller shall not be liable for any individual claim for which the
amount of damages or other payment to which Buyer or SHLX would otherwise be entitled is less than US$18,900 (excluding interest, costs and expenses).

  

	 	(C)	Deductible. Except with respect to Fundamental Representations for which there shall be no deductible, Buyer Parties shall not be entitled to indemnity under Section 14.5 for Liabilities with respect to
any claim for breach of any representation or warranty of Seller until and unless the aggregate amount of all Liabilities for which the Buyer Parties would be entitled to indemnity under Section 14.5, after giving effect to
Section 14.10(B), but for the limitation in this Section 14.10(C) exceeds, and then only to the extent such damages exceed, US$262,416 (subject to the other limitations in this Agreement). 

  
 24 

	 	(D)	Indemnity Cap. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of Seller shall be limited as follows: 

 

	 	(1)	All claims (other than a claim in respect of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties given in Sections 5.1(A), 5.1(B), 5.1(C)(i), 5.1(C)(iv), 5.1(D) and 5.1(F), collectively the “Fundamental
Representations”) shall not exceed an amount equal to eight percent of the Purchase Price. 

  

	 	(2)	All claims shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price. 

  

	 	(E)	Recovery. If damages suffered by any Indemnitee are recoverable under more than one provision of this Agreement or any other document referred to in this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall only be permitted to
recover with respect to any particular damages suffered by it one time. It is the Parties’ intent that once any particular damages have been recovered by a particular Indemnitee under one provision, such damages no longer exist with
respect to such Indemnitee and, therefore, recovery by such particular Indemnitee for such same damages under another provision would constitute an unintended and prohibited “double” recovery.

 

	 	(F)	Notification Obligation. During the Interim Period, each Party shall notify the other Parties promptly after the discovery by the first Party of any fact, circumstance or matter that causes or would cause
any representation or warranty of any Party contained this Agreement to be untrue in any material respect on the Closing Date. 

  

	 	(G)	Proceeding to Close. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Party elects to proceed with the Closing with knowledge by such Party of any failure of any Condition to be
satisfied in its favor or the breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant by another Party, then the Condition that is unsatisfied or the representation, warranty, agreement or covenant that is breached at the Closing Date shall be
deemed waived by such Party, and such Party shall be deemed to fully release and forever discharge the other Parties on account of any and all claims, demands or charges, known or unknown, with respect to such Condition, representation, warranty,
agreement or covenant. 

  

	15.	CONFIDENTIALITY AND ANNOUNCEMENTS 

  

	 	15.1	 Confidentiality. Except as permitted by Section 15.2, each Party shall, from and after the
Effective Date for a period of two years, maintain the confidentiality of, and shall not disclose, trade or otherwise divulge, the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Additionally, prior to Closing, each Party shall maintain the
confidentiality of, and shall not disclose, trade or otherwise divulge, the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any information or data of a confidential, proprietary or commercially sensitive manner pertaining to any Party, Explorer, the
Shares or the assets and business of Explorer provided in connection with the Transactions, whether the information was communicated orally, in writing or in electronic format (the “Confidential

Information”). This confidentiality requirement does not apply to, and the Confidential Information shall not include, information (including the terms and conditions of this
Agreement) that: 

  

	 	(A)	Is or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by a receiving Party in violation of this Agreement.

Confidential Information pursuant to this subsection, such Party will, to the extent legal and practical, prior to making such disclosure, provide to the disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective Order or other appropriate
remedy to ensure the continuing confidentiality of such Confidential Information at the disclosing Party’s own cost.

 If
the Closing does not occur for any reason, then: (a) for a period of two years after the Effective Date, each Party agrees that all Confidential Information shall remain confidential and each Party and any Person to whom a Party has disclosed
Confidential Information shall not use the Confidential Information except as permitted by this Agreement; and (b) if requested in writing by Seller, Buyer and SHLX shall promptly return to Seller or destroy all Confidential Information and
related materials and information, including any notes, summaries, compilations, analyses or other material derived from the inspection or evaluation of such material and information, without retaining copies. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Confidential Information presented to SHLX’s Board of Directors for the purpose of evaluating the Transactions (“Board Presentations”) may be retained with Buyer’s or SHLX’s Board records, provided such Board
Presentations are maintained in accordance with all restrictions, requirements and other terms of this Article 15 until such time as Buyer or SHLX destroys such Board Presentations. In addition, one copy of the Confidential Information may be
retained by SHLX with its legal department or document manager solely for the purpose of maintaining a record of the Confidential Information received by Buyer and SHLX or their Representatives, or for other regulatory purposes. Further, Buyer
and SHLX are not required to return or delete any Confidential Information on archive servers, server back-up tapes or similar back-up storage media, provided, however that such back-ups are maintained in accordance with all obligations of this
Article 15. Any such retained copy must be maintained in accordance with all obligations of this Article 15 and shall not be referred to for any purpose, except as expressly permitted hereunder or to the extent necessary to comply with
applicable law or court order or to defend against claims brought pursuant to this Agreement, for so long as such Confidential Information is held.
  

	 	15.2	Permitted Disclosures. Each Party may disclose the Confidential Information to any of the following parties, provided that such Party remains liable for any violations by such recipients:

 26 

	 	(B)	Any bank or financial institution or party providing funding from whom such Party is seeking or obtaining financing in connection with this Agreement. 

 

	 	(C)	To the applicable authority to the extent required by any applicable statute or the requirements of any recognized stock exchange in compliance with its rules and regulations, and the Party required to disclose such
Confidential Information shall furnish, and shall ensure that any other required Person disclosing such Confidential Information shall furnish, only that portion of the Confidential Information which, in the reasonable opinion of the Party
disclosing the Confidential Information, is required to be disclosed. 

  

	 	(D)	To any Governmental Authority lawfully requesting such information, and the Party required to disclose such Confidential Information shall furnish, and shall ensure that any other required Person disclosing such
Confidential Information shall furnish, only that portion of the Confidential Information which, in the reasonable opinion of the Party disclosing the Confidential Information, is required to be disclosed. 

 

	 	(E)	To any court of competent jurisdiction acting in pursuance of its powers. 

 Each Party shall
ensure that all Persons to whom the Confidential Information is disclosed by or on behalf of the receiving Party under this Agreement keep such Confidential Information confidential and do not disclose or divulge the Confidential Information to any
unauthorized Person in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or be construed as limiting the right of any Party to disclose the Tax treatment or Tax structure of the Transactions so that
such transaction would be treated as a confidential transaction as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(3). 
  

	 	15.3	Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of the Confidential Information, there may be no adequate remedy under Applicable Laws for any breach of the obligations set
out in Section 15, and that any breach of these obligations may result in irreparable harm. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, in addition to any other remedy to which the other Party may be entitled at law or in equity, the enforcing
Party shall be entitled to seek an award of injunctive relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Section 15 or to compel specific performance of this
Section 15. The enforcing Party may seek indemnification from another Party for any loss or harm in connection with any breach or enforcement of its obligations provided in Section 15, or for the unauthorized use or release of
Confidential Information. Each Party shall notify the other Parties immediately upon the occurrence of any unauthorized release of Confidential Information or other breach of Section 15. 

 

	 	15.4	Public Announcements. No Party, nor any of their Affiliates or any of their Representatives, shall issue any press release or public statement concerning this Agreement or the Transactions without obtaining the
prior approval of the other Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such disclosure is either: 

  

	 	(A)	Made to a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the business of Explorer in order to facilitate the Transactions. 

  

	 	(B)	Required by Applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any agreement with any national securities exchange; provided, that the Party intending to make such release shall, to the extent legal and practical, give the
other Party prior notice and shall use Reasonable Efforts consistent with such Applicable Law, Order or obligation to consult with the other Parties with respect to the text thereof. 

 

	 	15.5	Continuing Confidentiality Obligations. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 15 shall remain in force and effect and binding upon the Parties until, by their
respective terms, they are no longer operative or are limited by an applicable statute of limitations.

 EXHIBIT B - AFFIDAVIT OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor
is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded
entity. To inform the transferee, SHELL MIDSTREAM OPERATING LLC, that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by EQUILON ENTERPRISES LLC d/b/a SHELL OIL PRODUCTS US
(“Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor: 
  

	(A)	Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations); 

 

	(B)	Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations; 

  

	(C)	Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is                     ; and 

 

	(D)	Transferor’s office address is 910 Louisiana, Houston, Texas 77002. 

 Transferor understands that this
certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the transferee and that any false statement contained in this affidavit could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both. 

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and
I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
