In consideration of the services provided by Hess and HTC under
the Secondment Agreement, MLP GP LLC will pay Hess a secondment
fee, payable on a monthly basis, that 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 to the extent such total costs are attributable to the
provision of services with respect to the Partnerships assets and
operations. Hess will determine in good faith the percentage of
the costs that are attributable to the services provided by the
seconded employees based on Hesss then-current corporate transfer
pricing policies, as generally applied in a non-discriminatory

methodology as Hess shall determine. The Partnership will
reimburse MLP GP LLC for the cost of the secondment fee payable
by MLP GP LLC under the agreement.

be renewed by the General Partner for one additional 10-year
term. The General Partner may terminate the agreement or reduce
the level of services under the agreement at any time upon 30

agreement if Hess and its affiliates cease to own at least a 15%
ownership interest in the general partner of HIP, or if the other
party is in material default under the agreement and such party
fails to cure the material default within 15 days or if the other
party files for bankruptcy, makes an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or otherwise becomes bankrupt.

General Partner, MLP GP LLC and the Partnerships directors,
officers, employee and subsidiaries from any costs, expenses,
claims, losses or liabilities arising from the termination of
employment of any seconded employee by Hess without the prior
written consent of the General Partner, even though such costs,
expenses, claims, losses or liabilities may be caused by the
Partnerships negligence, except to the extent that such costs,
expenses, claims, losses or liabilities arise out of the
Partnerships sole negligence, gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
