PROVISION OF SERVICES

Section 1.1 Provision of Services.

(a) General and Administrative Services . DSRMC or any Affiliate or designee of DSRMC shall provide non-exclusive management, employee-related and other related services to the Partnership Parties through Valero GP or any Affiliate, which shall include, but shall not be limited to, services related to acquisitions to be made by the Partnership Parties, cash management, review of significant financial opportunities and operating, accounting, legal, engineering, commercial, human resources, information technology and such other management, employee-related and other general and administrative services as set forth on Exhibit A hereto and as DSRMC and Valero GP may from time to time agree (the “ Administrative Services ”).

For purposes of this Agreement, “ Affiliates ” means entities that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries control, or are controlled by, or are under common control with, such party, and the term “ control ” shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management and policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, provided, however, that with respect to DSRMC, the term “ Affiliate ” shall exclude Valero GP, the General Partner, the Partnership and the Operating Partnership.

(b) Additional Services . DSRMC or any Affiliate shall provide the Partnership Parties with such other services as Valero GP may request from time to time during the term of this Agreement and for such additional compensation as the parties may agree.

(c) Direct Charges . Notwithstanding Section 1.1 (a) above, the following items will be directly charged to the Partnership (“ Direct Charges ”):

(i) all salaries, wages and benefits costs related to personnel dedicated to the Partnership Parties, including, but not limited to, variable and incentive compensation, FICA, vacation pay, sick pay, life insurance, disability insurance, workers compensation, 401(k) matching contribution costs, defined benefit pension costs and post retirement health and medical costs. For purposes of this subsection (c)(i), personnel shall be considered “dedicated to the Partnership Parties” if such person dedicates 75% or more of his or her time to the Partnership Parties; and

(ii) all third party expenses directly related to the Partnership Parties, including, but not limited to, public company costs, outside legal fees, outside accounting fees, fees and expenses of external advisors and consultants, and insurance costs, including but not limited to, general liability, automobile liability, comprehensive liability, excess liability, property and directors and officers.

(d) Nature and Quality of Services . The quality of the Administrative Services shall be substantially identical to those provided to other subsidiaries and Affiliates of DSRMC.

Section 1.2 Fees.

(a) Commencing on the Effective Date of this Agreement and ending on December 31, 2004, and for each fiscal year of the Partnership thereafter, the Partnership shall pay to DSRMC an annual fee (the “ Administrative Services Fee ”). The Administrative Services Fee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 shall be $900,000, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 shall be $2,400,000, and thereafter such fee shall increase by $1.2 million in each of the three next following fiscal years, resulting in an Administrative Services Fee of $6.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and the fiscal years following, subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph (b) below.

(b) On the last day of each fiscal year starting with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004, and prior to the beginning of the next fiscal year, the Administrative Services Fee shall be increased by an amount equal to Valero Energy’s general annual merit increase percentage for the just completed fiscal year.

(c) The General Partner, with the approval and consent of the Conflicts Committee, may agree on behalf of the Partnership to further increases in the Administrative Services Fee in connection with increased levels of Administrative Services provided to the Partnership Parties due to expansions of the Partnership’s operations through acquisition or construction of new assets or businesses.

(d) At the end of each fiscal year, the scope of the Administrative Services and the related Administrative Services Fee are subject to review either at the request of DSRMC or the Partnership Parties, in either case by providing 10 days written notice to the other party but in no event later than 60 days before the end of the applicable fiscal year, with such review to be completed no later than January 31 of the immediately following fiscal year, with any increase of the Administrative Services Fee other than as provided in paragraph (a) above subject to the consent and approval of the Conflicts Committee.

(e) Any fees payable hereunder for periods less than a full fiscal year shall be prorated for the period services were provided based on the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days. The Administrative Services Fee set forth in Section 1.2 (a) above applicable to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 has already been prorated and no further proration for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 shall apply.

Section 1.3 Payment of Fees.

(a) The fees to be paid pursuant to Section 1.2 shall be paid by the Partnership in equal monthly installments in arrears within 30 days of the end of the month.

(b) To the extent reasonably practicable, all third party invoices for Direct Charges shall be submitted to the Partnership Parties for payment. For Direct Charges due DSRMC from the Partnership, if any, DSRMC shall present Valero GP with an invoice within 10 days after the end of each calendar month which reflects an amount equal to all Direct Charges reimbursable to DSRMC. The Partnership shall pay such sum within 30 days of the end of the applicable calendar month.

Section 1.4 Cancellation or Reduction of Services. The Partnership Parties may terminate or reduce the level of any Administrative Service on 60 days’ prior written notice to DSRMC. Upon such termination or reduction, the Administrative Services Fee shall be reduced accordingly, whether on a temporary or a permanent basis, for such time as such Administrative Service is reduced or terminated.

Section 1.5 Term. The provisions of this Article I will apply in respect of Administrative Services until this Agreement is terminated or amended in accordance with Section 2.1 or Section 2.13, respectively.

Section 2.1 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on December 31, 2009 (the “Initial Term”); provided that this Agreement shall automatically continue for successive two year terms after the Initial Term unless or until one year’s advance notice is given by DSRMC to terminate this Agreement, in which case this Agreement shall terminate one year after such notice is delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Partnership Party (a) may terminate the provision of one or more Administrative Services or reduce the level of one or more Administrative Services in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.4 hereof, and (b) shall have the right at any time to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to DSRMC, and in such event this Agreement shall terminate one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date on which such notice is given.

Section 2.2 No Third Party Beneficiary.

whether or not such activity or business is in competition with any activity or business of the other party.

Section 2.4 Limited Warranty; Limitation of Liability DSRMC represents that it will provide or cause the Administrative Services to be provided to the Partnership Parties with reasonable care and in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including without limitation those of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE AND IN SECTION 1.1 (d), ALL PRODUCTS OBTAINED FOR THE PARTNERSHIP PARTIES ARE AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND DSRMC MAKES NO (AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND NEGATES ANY AND ALL) REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES RENDERED OR PRODUCTS OBTAINED FOR THE PARTNERSHIP PARTIES. FURTHERMORE, THE PARTNERSHIP PARTIES MAY NOT RELY UPON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE MADE TO DSRMC BY ANY PARTY (INCLUDING, AN AFFILIATE OF DSRMC) PERFORMING SERVICES ON BEHALF OF DSRMC HEREUNDER, UNLESS SUCH PARTY MAKES AN EXPRESS WARRANTY TO VALERO GP OR THE PARTNERSHIP PARTIES. HOWEVER, IN THE CASE OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY A THIRD PARTY FOR THE PARTNERSHIP PARTIES, IF THE THIRD PARTY PROVIDER OF SUCH SERVICES MAKES AN EXPRESS WARRANTY TO ANY OF THE PARTNERSHIP PARTIES, THE PARTNERSHIP PARTIES ARE ENTITLED TO CAUSE DSRMC TO RELY ON AND TO ENFORCE SUCH WARRANTY.

IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD BY THE PARTNERSHIP PARTIES THAT DSRMC AND ITS AFFILIATES SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR THE FAILURE OF THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS TO PERFORM ANY SERVICES HEREUNDER AND FURTHER THAT DSRMC AND ITS AFFILIATES SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY UNLESS IN EITHER EVENT SUCH SERVICES ARE PROVIDED IN A MANNER WHICH WOULD EVIDENCE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT ON THE PART OF DSRMC OR ITS AFFILIATES BUT DSRMC SHALL, ON BEHALF OF THE PARTNERSHIP PARTIES, PURSUE ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY CONTRACT. THE PARTNERSHIP PARTIES AGREE THAT THE REMUNERATION PAID TO DSRMC HEREUNDER FOR THE SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED REFLECT THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. IN NO EVENT SHALL DSRMC BE LIABLE TO THE PARTNERSHIP PARTIES OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY ERROR IN THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES OR FROM THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FAULT OF DSRMC, ANY DSRMC AFFILIATE, OR ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER OR WHETHER DSRMC, ANY DSRMC AFFILIATE, OR THE THIRD PARTY PROVIDER ARE WHOLLY, CONCURRENTLY, PARTIALLY, OR SOLELY NEGLIGENT. TO THE EXTENT ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER HAS LIMITED ITS LIABILITY TO DSRMC OR ITS AFFILIATE FOR SERVICES UNDER AN OUTSOURCING

OR OTHER AGREEMENT, THE PARTNERSHIP PARTIES AGREE TO BE BOUND BY SUCH LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROVIDED TO THE PARTNERSHIP PARTIES BY SUCH THIRD PARTY PROVIDER UNDER DSRMC’S OR SUCH AFFILIATE’S AGREEMENT.

Section 2.5 Force Majeure. If any party to this Agreement is rendered unable by force majeure to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, other than Valero GP’s or the General Partner’s obligation to make payments to DSRMC as provided for herein, that party shall give the other parties prompt written notice of the force majeure with reasonably full particulars concerning it. Thereupon, the obligations of the party giving the notice, insofar as they are affected by the force majeure, shall be suspended during, but no longer than the continuance of, the force majeure. The affected party shall use all reasonable diligence to remove or remedy the force majeure situation as quickly as practicable.

The requirement that any force majeure situation be removed or remedied with all reasonable diligence shall not require the settlement of strikes, lockouts or other labour difficulty by the party involved, contrary to its wishes. Rather, all such difficulties, may be handled entirely within the discretion of the party concerned.
