                                                    ARTICLE III
                                               <u>PURCHASE PRICE</u>

         3.01     <u>Purchase Price</u>.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in full
payment for the Splitter Assets, Buyer shall pay to Sellers at Closing, by wire transfer as described in Section
8.01(b), the sum of Two Hundred Thirty-One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($231,500,000.00), as such sum
may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (the "Purchase Price").

         3.02     <u>Adjustments to the Purchase Price</u>.

         (a)      Subject to final adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Article VII, the Purchase Price shall
                  initially be adjusted at Closing as follows.

                  (1)      <u>Prepaid Expenses</u>.  The Purchase Price will be (A) increased to reflect the
                  total prepaid items and expenses identified on Schedule 3.02(a)(1) to the extent such items and
                  expenses are paid prior to the Effective Time which inure to the benefit of the Splitter Assets
                  after the Effective Time and (B) decreased to reflect amounts and expenses identified on
                  Schedule 3.02(a)(1) paid after the Effective Time which inure to the benefit of the Splitter
                  Assets before the Effective Time.

                  (2)      <u>Prorations</u>.  Real estate and personal property taxes for the calendar year
                  January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002, shall be prorated to the Effective Time based upon
                  the amounts of real estate and personal property taxes allocated to the Splitter Assets from
                  the most recent property tax assessments if known, or upon the amounts paid during the
                  preceding year to the extent not known, all as shown on Schedule 3.02(a)(2).  Such prorations
                  shall be made at Closing by an adjustment to the Purchase Price.  Buyer will assume
                  responsibility for the actual payment to the applicable Governmental Body of any unpaid
                  property taxes not yet due and which relate to periods after the Effective Time.   Buyer shall
                  defend (upon Sellers' request), indemnify, and hold Sellers harmless for any and all real
                  estate and personal property taxes and other fees and costs to be paid by Buyer in accordance
                  with this Subsection.  Sellers shall remain liable for unpaid property taxes to the extent they
                  relate to periods ending on or before December 31, 2001 and for which there has not been a
                  reduction in the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3.02(a)(2).

                  (3)      <u>Inventory</u>.  The Parties agree that the Net Inventory shown by Sellers'
                  inventory records as of the Effective Time will provide the initial basis at Closing for
                  adjusting the Purchase Price for Net Inventory (provided, that such volume does not exceed, for
                  RGP, a volume of 225,000 barrels, and for PGP, a volume of 35 million pounds). The Purchase
                  Price will be increased by the sum of the following:  (A) the product of the pounds of
                  propylene contained in the RGP in the Net Inventory multiplied by the average of the "RG
                  Propylene Spot" prices per pound reflected in the table entitled "North America Product Prices"
                  as published in the CMAI Monomer's Market Report dated January 31, 2002; (B) the product of the
                  number of gallons of the propane component in the RGP in the Net Inventory multiplied by the
                  average of the mean non-TET prices for propane for Mont Belvieu as published by the Oil Price
                  Information Service for the month of January, 2002; and (C) the product of the pounds of PGP
                  contained in the Net Inventory multiplied by the average of the "PG Propylene Spot" prices per
                  pound reflected in the table entitled "North America Product Prices" as published in the CMAI
                  Monomer's Market Report dated January 31, 2002.

         (b)      <u>Closing Statement</u>.  Not later than three (3) days before Closing, Sellers shall prepare and
                  deliver to Buyer a reasonable, good faith statement of the estimated Purchase Price adjustments
                  (and estimated Net Inventory figures) to be made at Closing pursuant to this Agreement (the
                  "Closing Statement").  The Parties agree that where actual numbers are not available, this


PAGE 10
<PAGE>

                  Closing Statement will be based upon mutually agreeable estimates from the previous year's tax
                  renditions and payments and from the prior month's Splitter Assets-related financial statements.

         3.03     <u>Allocation</u>.

         (a)      <u>La Porte LP, La Porte GP, Bay Area Pipeline, and OTC.</u>  Buyer and Sellers agree that the
                  valuations and allocations established in Exhibit 3.03 attached hereto and incorporated herein
                  by this reference reflect the fair market value of the Splitter Assets listed therein at the
                  time of Closing.  The Parties further agree that the Purchase Price for the Splitter Assets
                  listed in Exhibit 3.03 shall be allocated among such Splitter Assets in accordance with Section
                  1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Sellers and Buyer agree to cooperate in
                  good faith in the allocation of the Purchase Price and the completion and filing of the United
                  States federal income tax Form 8594 in accordance with such price allocation.  The Parties
                  further agree that they will report the tax consequences of the purchase and sale hereunder in
                  a manner consistent with the valuations established in Exhibit 3.03 and that they will not take
                  any positions inconsistent therewith in connection with the filing of any tax return.

         (b)      <u>Remaining Splitter Assets.</u> Sellers and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant
                  to the terms of this Agreement) will be allocated among the Splitter Assets not listed on
                  Exhibit 3.03 hereto for all purposes (including tax and financial accounting purposes) as
                  jointly agreed between Buyer and Sellers within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date.
                  Buyer, Sellers and their applicable Affiliates will file all tax returns and forms in a manner
                  consistent with such allocation.  Should, by the end of such 45-day period, the Parties be
                  unable to agree on such allocation as contemplated by this Section 3.03(b), the Parties'
                  disagreement with respect thereto shall be referred to the Accounting Firm which shall resolve
                  such dispute, which resolution shall be final and binding, in the manner provided for in
                  Section 7.01(b) hereof.

                  Knowledge of Sellers, no third Person is in material default under the terms of any Contract;
                  nor, to the Knowledge of Sellers, has any event occurred which, with the passage of time or

         (h)      <u>Permits.</u>  Except for permits and licenses within the definition of Real Property Instruments
                  under Section 4.01(i), the Permits (as listed on Schedule 4.01(h)) are all of the permits,

                  Splitter Facility), or by D-K LLC (as operator of the La Porte Pipeline), and to the Knowledge
                  of Sellers required or necessary for the ownership, use, or operation of the Splitter Assets as

         (i)      <u>Real Property Instruments.</u>  Schedule 4.01(i) sets forth a list of all deeds, leases, easements,
                  rights-of-way, real property rights, and licenses (other than the Ground Lease) relating to
                  Sellers' ownership, use, maintenance, and operation of the Splitter Assets and La Porte LP's
                  ownership, use, maintenance, and operation of the La Porte Pipeline ("Real Property
                  Instruments").  Except as provided for in Schedule 4.01(i), Sellers have not received written
                  notice that they are in default under the terms of any Real Property Instrument; to the
                  Knowledge of Sellers, Sellers are not in material default under the terms of any Real Property
                  Instrument; nor has any event occurred which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or
                  both, would constitute such a default.  Except as provided for in Schedule 4.01(i), to the
                  Knowledge of Sellers, no other Person that is a party to any Real Property Instrument is in
                  material default under the terms of any Real Property Instrument; nor has any event occurred
                  which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a default
                  of such a Person.

         (j)      <u>Intellectual Property Interests.</u>  To the Knowledge of Sellers, Schedule 4.01(j)-I sets forth a
                  list of all material trademarks, licensed processes or rights and other intellectual property
                  (collectively, "Intellectual Property Interests") which burden or benefit the operation, use,
                  or maintenance of the Splitter Assets.  Schedule 4.01(j)-II lists the Intellectual Property
                  Interests that will be transferred to Buyer hereunder (the "Transferred Intellectual Property
                  Interests").  Schedule 4.01(j)-II lists certain proprietary Intellectual Property Interests
                  (the "Proprietary Intellectual Property Interests") developed by Sellers or, as specified in
                  Schedule 4.01(j)-II, for which only the data relating thereto will be transferred to Buyer.
                  Schedule 4.01(j)-II further contains restrictions applicable to the transfer of certain of the
                  Transferred Intellectual Property Interests, including the terms of such a transfer.  Except as
                  set forth in Schedule 4.01(j)-II, Sellers are the owners of, or duly licensed to use, each
                  Transferred Intellectual Property Interest, and there are no Orders limiting Sellers' rights to
                  use the Transferred Intellectual Property Interests or determining that Sellers' possession or
                  use thereof infringes upon any Person's rights; nor, to the Knowledge of Sellers, are there any
                  Proceedings in which any Person seeks to limit Sellers' rights with respect to the Transferred
                  Intellectual Property Interests or claims infringement by Sellers as a result of Sellers' use
                  or possession of such Intellectual Property Interests.  Subject to any consent required as
                  referenced in Section 6.07, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
                  will not result in the impairment of the Buyer's right to use any such Transferred Intellectual
                  Property Interests or infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third Person.
                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the names "Diamond-Koch," "Koch," or
                  "Diamond" or any variation thereof and any marks or goodwill associated therewith are not
                  "Intellectual Property Interests."

         (k)      <u>Tax Matters</u>.

                  (1)      Each of the Sellers (A) have timely filed, or shall cause to be filed, returns
                  required to be filed for the taxable periods ending prior to the Effective Time in connection
                  with the Splitter Assets or the owners thereof (except OTC), and the information contained in
                  each such return was, or shall be at the time of filing, true, complete, and accurate, and (B)
                  have paid or shall provide for the payment of and pay when due such taxes required to be paid
                  in respect of periods for which such returns were due.

                  (2)      Except as provided for in Schedule 4.01(k), no written notice of any proposed
                  deficiency, claim, assessment, or levy with respect to taxes has been received by Sellers with
                  respect to the Splitter Assets or the owners thereof (except OTC), which has not been paid.

                  (3)      Except as provided for in Schedule 4.01(k), no ruling has been issued to Sellers (or
                  closing agreement or gain recognition agreement to which any such entity is a party or is
                  otherwise bound) concerning taxes from (or with) any Governmental Body which would have
                  continuing effect on the Splitter Assets (except OTC) after the Effective Time.

                  (4)      Except as provided for in Schedule 4.01(k), there are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Sellers,
                  threatened tax examinations, investigations, audits, or other Proceedings relating to taxes of
                  Sellers.

                  (5)      To the Knowledge of Sellers, the representations set forth in subsections 1 through 4
                  of this Section 4.01(k) are also true and correct as to OTC, it being agreed, however, that
                  Sellers are not the operator of OTC and do not handle tax matters for OTC.

                  (6)      Except for sales and use or similar taxes which result from the consummation of the
                  transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to the Knowledge of Sellers, Sellers have
                  collected, or will collect, all sales and use or similar taxes required to have been collected

                                                 <u>COVENANTS</u>

         6.01     <u>Casualty Loss/Condemnation</u>.

         (a)      <u>Casualty Loss.</u>  Prior to the Effective Time, if all or any portion of the Splitter
                  Assets have been or are destroyed by fire, flood, storm, or other casualty of a similar nature
                  (all of which are herein called a "Casualty Loss") and if such Casualty Loss is reasonably
                  determined to require repairs that will cost in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Purchase
                  Price, then either Party shall have the right and option to declare this Agreement to be
                  terminated by written notice given to the other Party within thirty (30) days after the
                  occurrence of the Casualty Loss.  Should such damage not be to such extent or should it be to
                  such extent but neither Party elects to so terminate this Agreement, then Sellers shall proceed
                  to repair any such damage or destruction as soon as is reasonably practicable following the


PAGE 16
<PAGE>

                  expiration of said thirty (30) day period to the condition and operating levels and
                  efficiencies as existed immediately prior to such Casualty Loss, and upon completion of such
                  repair and all necessary testing and start-up, the transaction contemplated hereby will close,
                  subject to the other terms of this Agreement. Any insurance proceeds relating to a Casualty
                  Loss occurring while Sellers have the risk of loss shall be the sole property of Sellers.  The
                  risk of Casualty Loss occurring after the Effective Time with respect to the Splitter Assets
                  shall pass to Buyer at Closing.

         (b)      <u>Condemnation</u>.  If, prior to the Effective Time, all or a portion of the Splitter Assets
                  are taken by condemnation or are subject to being taken by a written threat of condemnation,
                  and if such taking or threat of a taking does, or would, materially limit Buyer's use of the
                  Splitter Assets or its ability to benefit from the full value to be paid for the Splitter
                  Assets, then Sellers shall promptly give written notice of such condemnation or condemnation
                  proceedings to Buyer and Buyer may terminate this Agreement upon prior written notice to
                  Sellers of at least fourteen (14) days or the number of days left until Closing, whichever is
                  fewer.  If Buyer terminates this Agreement under this Section 6.01(b), any payments made under
                  threat of condemnation or condemnation awards shall be the sole property of Sellers.  If Buyer
                  does not elect to terminate this Agreement, or cannot terminate this Agreement because the
                  taking or threatened taking did not or would not materially limit Buyer's use of the Splitter
                  Assets or its ability to benefit from the full value to be paid for the Splitter Assets, such
                  payments or awards shall be the sole property of Buyer.

         6.02     <u>Conduct of Business Between Signing of this Agreement and Effective Time</u>.

         (a)      Between signing of this Agreement and the Effective Time, Sellers shall preserve and maintain
                  the Splitter Assets in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

         (b)      Without the consent of Buyer (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and
                  prior to the Closing, Sellers shall not and shall not commit or agree to do, any of the
                  following:

                  (1)      waive, compromise, or settle any right or Proceeding involving or relating to the
                  Splitter Assets or any Liabilities/Claims in respect thereof which singularly or in the
                  aggregate exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00);

                  (2)      create, incur, or assume any Lien on or with respect to any Splitter Assets or any
                  income or profits therefrom;

                  (3)      enter into or agree to any agreement or arrangement granting any rights to purchase
                  any of the Splitter Assets or the assets of La Porte Pipeline, except for agreements relating
                  to sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices;

                  (4)      enter into, renew, extend, amend, or terminate any Contract or renew, amend, or
                  terminate any Real Property Instrument; and any other contracts relating to the operation, use,
                  or conduct of the business of the Splitter Assets may be entered into by Sellers only in the
                  ordinary course of business consistent with their past practice; provided that the aggregate
                  amount of obligations of all such other contracts shall not exceed Five Hundred Thousand
                  Dollars ($500,000.00);

                  (5)      except as specifically provided for herein, transfer or sell, or agree to transfer or
                  sell, any part of the Splitter Assets; or

                  (6)      except as otherwise provided for herein, terminate any Real Property Instrument or
                  Permit.

         6.03     <u>Compliance with Conditions Precedent</u>.  Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the conditions precedent to Closing set forth in Sections 8.02 and 8.03, applicable to such
Party, to be fulfilled and satisfied as soon as practicable but in any event prior to Closing.


PAGE 17
<PAGE>

         6.04     <u>Press Release</u>.  Buyer expects to issue a press release upon the execution of this
Agreement.  Buyer and Sellers shall consult with each other in a good faith effort to agree upon the
mutually-acceptable substance of such a press release and with regard to all publicity and other releases issued
at or prior to Closing concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and except as required
by Legal Requirements, neither Party shall issue any publicity or other release without the prior written consent
of the other Party (which such consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

         6.05     <u>Insurance</u>.   Sellers shall keep, or cause to be kept, all existing insurance policies on
the Splitter Assets in full force and effect through the close of business on the Closing Date.

         6.06     <u>Consents to Assignment - Formation of Diamond-Koch</u>.  Schedule 6.06 lists the Contracts
and Real Property Instruments for which consent to assignment (including waivers of rights of first refusal or
preferential purchase rights) is required, that were to be assigned to D-K I or D-K III in connection with the
formation of the Diamond-Koch venture of which D-K I and D-K III are a part, and with respect to which such
consent has not yet been obtained.  Sellers shall, at Sellers' sole cost and expense, use reasonable commercial
efforts and diligence to obtain all such required consents, approvals, and waivers and deliver evidence of same
reasonably satisfactory to Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable and whether before or after the Closing Date.
Any and all cost and expense relating to such consents, approvals, and waivers obtained pursuant to this Section
6.06 shall be Sellers' sole obligation.

         6.07     <u>Consents to Assignment to Buyer.</u>

         (a)      <u>Buyer's Obligations.</u>  If the assignment or transfer of Contracts, Real Property
                  Instruments or Permits hereunder requires the consent of a third Person, except to the extent
                  of Sellers' undertakings pursuant to Sections 6.06, 6.07(b) and 6.07(d), Buyer, at its sole
                  cost and expense, hereby assumes all obligations and responsibilities of obtaining such
                  consents.

         (b)      <u>Sellers' Pre-Closing Obligations.</u>  With respect to the required consents referenced in
                  Section 6.07(a), upon the execution of this Agreement, Sellers will use commercially reasonable
                  diligence to obtain such consents from the Persons from whom consent is required.  To the
                  extent commercially reasonable, Sellers shall obtain such consents prior to Closing and shall
                  provide documentation of such consents to Buyer at Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the
                  contrary provided for in this Section 6.07(b) above, if the Closing occurs within five (5)
                  Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Sellers need not perform the covenants provided
                  for in this Section 6.07(b), and Buyer shall be responsible for initiating and completing the
                  consent requests described herein.

         (c)      <u>Consents Not Obtained by Closing.</u>  Except as provided in Section 7.04, at Closing,
                  Sellers shall provide their files to Buyer relating to their efforts to obtain the consents not
                  obtained by Closing if required pursuant to Section 6.07(b).  Buyer shall thereafter exercise
                  reasonable diligence to obtain such consents.   The Parties shall assist each other with
                  respect to obtaining such consents until Sellers' obligations expire as provided for in the
                  last sentence of this Section 6.07(c) or until such other time as mutually agreed. With respect
                  to Contracts and Real Property Instruments for which consents are not obtained by Closing
                  including the consents referred to in Section 6.06 (or, despite Buyer's efforts after Closing,
                  are not later obtained) (respectively the "Non-Conveyed Contracts" and "Non-Conveyed Real
                  Property Instruments"), Sellers shall, upon Buyer's written request, take commercially
                  reasonable steps and actions to provide Buyer with the benefit of such Non-Conveyed Contracts
                  and Non-Conveyed Real Property Instruments.  Buyer shall enter into subcontracting or other
                  beneficial arrangements with Sellers or an Affiliate thereof pursuant to which Buyer shall
                  fulfill such obligations or liabilities at no additional expense to Sellers except Sellers' own
                  costs in entering into, administering, and managing such arrangements.  Sellers' obligation to
                  provide such benefit with respect to a particular Non-Conveyed Contract shall expire
                  concurrently with the earlier of (a) the expiration of that Non-Conveyed Contract according to
                  its terms or (b) the earliest time that such Non-Conveyed Contract may be terminated by Buyer


PAGE 18
<PAGE>

                  (as Sellers' assignee) without breach thereof.   Sellers' obligation to provide such benefit
                  with respect to all Non-Conveyed Real Property Instruments shall expire concurrently with the
                  expiration of that Non-Conveyed Real Property Instrument according to its terms.

         (d)      <u>Certain Real Property Instruments.</u>  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                  Sections 6.07(a), (b) or (c), the provisions of this Section 6.07(d) govern consents to
                  assignment of Non-Conveyed Real Property Instruments pertaining to the following pipelines:
                  Amoco Lateral, Solvay Lateral, MCO Lateral, MCO to Texas City Pipeline, Amoco (Texas City)
                  Lateral, and ARCO Lateral.  If, by Closing, any required consents for such Non-Conveyed Real
                  Property Instruments have not yet been obtained, Sellers will continue to pursue such consents,
                  with Buyer's assistance, until Sellers' obligations expire as provided for in the last sentence
                  of Section 6.07(c) or until such other mutually agreed time.  If, as a condition to granting
                  such consent, the landowner/grantor requires a one-time payment, and if Sellers, without making
                  such payment, are unable to provide Buyer with the benefit of that Non-Conveyed Real Property
                  Instrument, Sellers shall make the one-time payment and secure the required consent unless the
                  landowner/grantor specifically states or indicates that payment is being required because of
                  the identity of Buyer. Sellers covenant and agree that they will not suggest, imply, or in any
                  manner or fashion influence the landowner/grantor to make such a statement or indication.  If,
                  however, as a condition of granting consent, the landowner/grantor requires some other
                  modification to the terms and conditions of the Non-Conveyed Real Property Instrument
                  (including an increase in periodic fees due thereunder), and if without agreement to such
                  modification Sellers are unable to provide Buyer with the benefit of that Non-Conveyed Real
                  Property Instrument, then, Buyer shall either agree to such modifications (or negotiate a
                  mutually agreed upon modification with the landowner/grantor) and obtain such consent, or
                  failing such, Sellers shall be relieved of all obligations to secure such consent for that
                  Non-Conveyed Real Property Instrument and Sellers shall have no further obligation or liability
                  with respect thereto except as set forth below with respect to annual increases in periodic
                  fees.  Sellers covenant and agree that if a landowner/grantor advises Sellers that a one-time
                  payment of a Non-Conveyed Real Property Instrument will be required in order to secure consent,
                  Sellers shall not, without first consulting Buyer, suggest to the landowner/grantor other means
                  of securing the consent (such as modifications of the applicable Non-Conveyed Real Property
                  Instrument) without first requesting Buyer's approval of such other means, which approval shall
                  not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.  Sellers further covenant and agree that
                  if a landowner/grantor advises Sellers that modifications are required to secure the consent,
                  Sellers will promptly notify Buyer of the requested modifications without negotiation with the
                  landowner/grantor.

                  With respect to increases in periodic fees required by landowners/grantors to secure consent,
                  if the sum of all increases in such periodic fees with respect to the Non-Conveyed Real
                  Property Instrument, on an annual basis, exceeds Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00)
                  annually, Sellers shall be obligated to pay Buyer an amount equal to the net present value of
                  the difference between (i) the sum of all periodic fee increases and (ii) $75,000.00, over a
                  five year period, using a discount rate of Eight Percent (8%).  For example, if the sum of all
                  periodic fee increases total $100,000, Sellers will owe Buyer the net present value of a
                  $25,000.00 payment stream over a five year period using the 8% discount rate, or $99,817.00.

                  Nothing in this Section 6.07(d) modifies the terms of the last sentence of Section 6.07(c).

         (e)      <u>Consents - Permits.</u>  Sellers shall have no obligations or liabilities with respect to
                  any non-assignable or non-transferable Permits. Buyer assumes all responsibility and
                  obligations for replacing or transferring all Permits and obtaining any permits it may require
                  to own or operate the Splitter Assets.

         6.08     <u>Assumed Contracts/Instruments</u>.  Buyer agrees to assume all rights and obligations of
Sellers arising under the Contracts, Real Property Instruments, Transferred Intellectual Property Interests,
Permits, and any contractual commitments made in accordance with Section 6.02 (to the extent transferable) on and


PAGE 19
<PAGE>

after the Effective Time to the extent such rights and obligations accrue after the Effective Time and are
incurred in accordance with Section 6.02.

         6.09     <u>Inspection</u>.        Prior to Closing, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable advance notice to Sellers, Sellers shall permit the representatives of Buyer to inspect the Splitter
Assets and observe the operating and maintenance personnel therein employed, and to further observe any and all
activities related to the maintenance, operation, contracting, and administration thereof.  Buyer's
representatives shall be entitled to make copies of any Records.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall
not be required to grant access to or furnish information which Sellers consider, in their sole judgment, to be
confidential to Sellers or to others or which might disclose any techniques or applications which Sellers
consider to be business secrets or proprietary information to Sellers.  All information furnished to Buyer
pursuant to this provision will be deemed to be "Confidential Information" for purposes of that certain
"Confidentiality Agreement" described in Section 12.03 below.  All inspections shall be conducted in compliance
with all of Sellers' applicable safety procedures, rules, and regulations in effect at the Splitter Assets from
time to time, which shall include, without limitation, site safety training and access restriction procedures as
are normally required by Sellers of third party invitees.  No investigation by Buyer will affect any
representation or warranty given by Sellers to Buyer or the remedies available to Buyer hereunder.

                                                    ARTICLE VII
                                          <u>POST-CLOSING AGREEMENTS</u>

         7.01     <u>Final Recapitulation Settlement; Subsequent Audits and Settlements</u>.  With respect to
final recapitulation and audits:

         (a)      Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (the "Final Recap Date"), Sellers shall provide
                  to Buyer, for Buyer's review, a proposed final recapitulation settlement in the form of the
                  Preliminary Settlement Statement (the "Final Recap Statement") to account for all actual
                  adjustments to the Purchase Price (and Net Inventory) known as of the Final Recap Date if such
                  actual adjustments differ from those shown on the Closing Statement provided prior to Closing
                  pursuant to Section 3.02 (the "Final Recap").  These adjustments shall be identified to the
                  associated Splitter Asset.  Buyer shall have the right, within one hundred eighty (180) days
                  after the Closing Date, to complete an audit of the Final Recap Statement.  If Buyer disagrees
                  with the Final Recap Statement, Buyer and Sellers shall use their respective commercially
                  reasonable efforts to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following Buyer's completion of
                  its audit of the Final Recap Statement.

         (b)      Should the Parties be unable to resolve any disagreements concerning the Final Recap Statement,
                  such disagreement shall, at the earliest practicable date, be referred, by either or both of
                  the Parties, to a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and
                  Sellers (the "Accounting Firm"), along with all audit reports, work papers, schedules, and
                  calculations related to the matter in dispute.  Within twenty-five (25) days after such
                  submission, the Accounting Firm shall issue a letter report determining the Final Recap, which
                  shall be final and binding.  Any fees and expenses incurred in resolving disputes shall be
                  borne by the Party incurring such, except for the Accounting Firm, which shall be borne equally
                  by Buyer on the one hand and Sellers on the other hand.

         (c)      Payment of any amounts owed under the Final Recap is due within ten (10) days after the date
                  Sellers and Buyer agree on the Final Recap Statement, or within ten (10) days after the
                  determination of the Final Recap by the Accounting Firm, whichever is later.


PAGE 20
<PAGE>

         7.02     <u>Accounts Receivable</u>.         After Closing, Sellers agree to cause to be paid to Buyer
any amounts received by Sellers, including accounts receivables generated by the Splitter Assets after the
Effective Time, to which Buyer is entitled but which is made instead to Sellers for whatever reason.  After
Closing, Buyer agrees to cause to be paid to Sellers any amounts received by Buyer after the Effective Time,
including accounts receivables generated by the Splitter Assets prior to the Effective Time, to which Sellers are
entitled but which are made instead to Buyer for whatever reason.

         7.03     <u>Recording</u>.  Except for the recording of the consents or approvals to the assignments
described in Section 6.06 (for which Sellers shall promptly furnish the recording information to Buyer), Buyer
shall be solely responsible for promptly recording the assignments and any other instruments related to the
conveyance of any of the Splitter Assets, and shall promptly furnish Sellers with the recording information.  All
recording and filing fees for instruments to be recorded by a specified Party shall be paid by that Party.

         7.04     <u>Files and Records</u>. At or prior to the Closing, Sellers shall permit Buyer to take
possession of the original set of all hard copy and electronic Records in Sellers' possession and  located at
Sellers' Mont Belvieu, Texas, or Houston, Texas, offices.  Other Records shall be made available to Buyer within
thirty (30) days after the Closing Date at either Mont Belvieu, Texas, or Houston Texas, as designated by Buyer;
provided, however, that Sellers shall, if reasonably needed by Buyer, make copies of such other Records available
to Buyer upon Buyer's request prior to such time at Sellers' sole expense. With respect to the accounting records
that are not part of the Records, including all records that Buyer may need in order to prepare financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Sellers shall make available to Buyer such records for inspection and copying during normal
business hours.  From time to time as requested by Sellers, Buyer shall make such files, records, and data which
it acquires from Sellers and which are reasonably required by Sellers available to Sellers for inspection and
copying during normal business hours, together with such additional non-privileged, non-protected files, data,
and records of Buyer as relate specifically to the Splitter Assets as may be required by Sellers in order to
pursue any of their claims, obligations, and disputes relating to the Splitter Assets.  If there are records that
relate to the Excluded Assets that also relate to the Splitter Assets, Sellers shall have the right to redact any
information contained therein that relates exclusively to the Excluded Assets.

         7.05     <u>Use of Sellers' Names</u>.  By no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after
Closing, Buyer shall have covered, removed or caused to have been removed the names and marks of and used by
Sellers and all variations and derivations thereof and logos relating thereto from the Splitter Assets and shall
either remove all pipeline markers that bear Sellers' names or place permanent stickers over Sellers' specific
information (i.e., name and telephone number) on such markers. After expiration of such time period specified
above, Buyer shall not make any use whatsoever of those names, marks, and logos.  If Buyer has not completed such
removal within one hundred and twenty (120) days after Closing, Sellers shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to take such steps as are required to complete such name change and removal or cause such name change
and removal to be completed and Buyer shall reimburse Sellers for any costs or expenses incurred by Sellers in
connection therewith.

         7.06     <u>Further Assurances</u>.  Each Party shall, from time to time at the reasonable request of
the other, and without further consideration, execute and deliver such other instruments of sale, transfer,
conveyance, assignment, clarification, and termination, and take such other action as the Party making the
request may reasonably require to fully effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby, including those required
to sell, transfer, convey, and assign to, and vest in Buyer, and to place Buyer in possession of the Splitter
Assets, or, if necessary, to ensure that Buyer has no interest in any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability and
that any interest in such an Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability incorrectly conveyed to Buyer is reconveyed to
Sellers. Sellers intend to convey the Splitter Assets at Closing; provided, however, that if it is determined
after Closing that:  (i) any part of the Splitter Assets were not owned by Sellers and that the title to any part
of the Splitter Assets is incorrectly in the name of another entity, or (ii) any Excluded Asset or Excluded
Liability is conveyed to Buyer and that the title to such Excluded Asset is incorrectly in the name of Buyer or
any Excluded Liability is for the account of Buyer, then each Party shall take all such action necessary to
promptly and correctly convey any part of the Splitter Assets to Buyer, or any part of the Excluded Assets or
Excluded Liabilities to Sellers.

         7.07     <u>Post-Closing Tax Proceedings</u>.  If Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives notice of any
examination, adjustment, or other Proceeding relating to the liability for taxes of or with respect to Sellers
and concerning the Splitter Assets for any period prior to the Effective Time, Buyer shall notify Sellers in
writing within five (5) business days of receiving notice thereof (or such lesser time if such notice given to
Buyer requires action in less than five (5) business days).  As to any such taxes for which Sellers are or may be
liable, Sellers shall, at Sellers' expense, control or settle the contest of such examination, adjustment, or
other Proceeding, and shall defend (upon Buyer's request) and indemnify Buyer against all losses in connection
therewith.  The Parties shall cooperate with each other and with their respective Affiliates in the negotiations
and settlement of any Proceeding described in this Section 7.07.

         7.08     <u>Sales Taxes</u>. The Purchase Price provided for hereunder excludes any sales tax or other
taxes required to be paid in connection with the sale of the Splitter Assets.  Buyer shall be responsible for all
applicable sales and use taxes, gross receipts, conveyance, transfer, and recording fees, motor vehicle transfer
and excise taxes and registration fees, and real estate transfer taxes and documentary stamp taxes, if any, that
may be imposed on any transfer pursuant to this Agreement.  Buyer shall defend (upon Sellers' request),
indemnify, and hold Sellers harmless for any and all sales, use, gross receipts, and similar taxes, penalties,
and interest imposed on Sellers based on the sale of the Splitter Assets.  To the extent the sale of the Splitter
Assets is a sale of tangible personal property, Buyer shall cooperate with Sellers to provide any applicable
exemption certificates or other documentation necessary to obtain available tax exempt status for the sale of the
Splitter Assets.

         7.09     <u>Other Taxes</u>.

         (a)      All taxes (excluding taxes described in Section 7.08) associated with the ownership, operation
                  or use of any of the Splitter Assets and which have accrued prior to the Effective Time have
                  been or will be properly paid or withheld by Sellers, and all statements, returns, and
                  documents pertinent thereto have been or will be properly filed. Sellers shall indemnify,
                  defend, and hold Buyer harmless from and against all such taxes and related liabilities and
                  obligations.

         (b)      Buyer shall defend (upon Sellers' request) and indemnify Sellers for, and shall be responsible
                  for, paying or withholding or causing to be paid or withheld all taxes associated with the
                  ownership, operation, or use of any of the Splitter Assets which have accrued after the
                  Effective Time and for filing all statements, returns, and documents incident thereto.

                                                   ARTICLE VIII
                                                  <u>CLOSING</u>

         8.01     <u>Time and Place</u>.  The closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the

precedent to the others and each being deemed to have occurred simultaneously with the others:

         8.02     <u>Conditions to Buyer's Obligations</u>.  Each and every obligation of Buyer to be performed
by the Closing is, at the option of Buyer, subject to each of the conditions set forth below.

         (a)      The representations and warranties made by Sellers in this Agreement, as may be supplemented
                  after the date hereof, shall be true and accurate as to the representations and warranties
                  which are qualified as to materiality and in all material respects as to those representations
                  and warranties which are not so qualified as of the Closing with the same effect as though such
                  representations and warranties have been given on and as of the Closing, giving effect to any
                  supplements thereto or to any schedules or exhibits to this Agreement so long as the
                  supplementation to the particular representation and warranty at issue does not, taken as a
                  whole, have a material adverse effect on that representation and warranty.  Sellers shall also
                  have performed or complied with, in all material respects, all of their obligations under this
                  Agreement which are to be performed or complied with by it as of the Closing.

         (b)      There shall not be on the Closing (1) any Order by any Governmental Body, (2) any written
                  threat thereof by any Governmental Body, or (3) any Legal Requirement or (4) Proceeding which,


PAGE 23
<PAGE>

                  in all reasonable likelihood, might prohibit or render illegal Buyer's consummation of the
                  transaction contemplated herein.

         (c)      All agreements, documents, and instruments contemplated under this Agreement to be executed and
                  delivered by Sellers as of Closing shall have been duly executed by Sellers and be ready for
                  delivery concurrently with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
                  Agreement.

         (d)      Sellers shall deliver to Buyer:

                  (1)      certified copies of each of the resolutions of the management committee of D-K LLC and
                  the partners of D-K I and D-K III authorizing the Sellers to enter into and to perform this Agreement
                  and each document to be entered into by it as of the Closing, authorizing execution of this Agreement
                  and each such document by each Person signing on behalf of the Sellers, and further certifying
                  that such resolutions and such authority have not been modified and remain in effect; and

warranties, covenants, and agreements (including the indemnity agreements and understandings set forth in Article

         (a)      Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Sellers have not made, do not make, and expressly
                  disclaim any other warranties, representations, covenants, or agreements, either express or

                  Assets or their suitability or fitness for any particular purpose or use, and that the Splitter
                  Assets, including the state of the title thereto, are sold to Buyer on an "as-is, where is with
                  all faults" basis;

         (b)      Buyer hereby expressly releases Sellers from any and all responsibilities, liabilities,
                  obligations, and claims, known and unknown, whether based upon negligence, strict liability, or
                  otherwise, arising under Environmental Laws or any other Legal Requirement, including, without
                  limitation, any obligations to take the Splitter Assets back or reduce the Purchase Price, or
                  any actions for contribution or indemnity, or to improve, repair, or otherwise modify the
                  physical condition or operation of the Splitter Assets, that Buyer or its successors or assigns
                  may have against Sellers or that may arise in the future, based, in whole or in part, upon the
                  presence of Hazardous Materials or other Environmental Contamination on, around, within, or
                  under the Splitter Assets or arising from the Environmental Condition or physical condition of
                  the Splitter Assets, regardless of how caused or created (by Sellers' negligence, actions,
                  omissions, or fault, pursuant to any statutory scheme of strict liability, or otherwise).
                  Buyer further acknowledges that the provisions of this Section have been fully explained to
                  Buyer and that it fully understands and accepts the same as a condition to proceeding with this

                  other materials furnished or made available to Buyer by Sellers or by Sellers' employees,
                  agents, or representatives.  In entering into and performing this Agreement, Buyer has relied,
                  and will rely, solely upon its independent investigation of, and judgment with respect to, the
                  Splitter Assets and their value;

         (d)      Buyer recognizes and expressly acknowledges that the Splitter Assets may contain asbestos
                  coating, insulation or other asbestos-containing materials (collectively, "Asbestos") and that
                  any such Asbestos may be in a friable or nonfriable condition.  Sellers make no representations

                  contractors, and agents that may come into contact with such Asbestos will comply with all
                  applicable laws and other governmental requirements relating thereto, including requirements
                  relating to the training of workers in the handling of Asbestos;

                  hereby expressly exclude, and do not assign, transfer, or convey to Buyer any rights or
                  benefits of or to any insurance policies of Sellers or Sellers' Affiliates which might relate
                  to, cover, or insure Sellers for loss of or liability arising from the use, ownership, or
                  operation of the Splitter Assets, regardless of whether such assignment, right, or benefit
                  arises by statute, agreement, or operation of law, including but not limited to defense and
                  indemnity benefits attributable to or arising from or under such policies; and

                  required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

                           Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (the "Deductible"), at which time Sellers shall
                           indemnify, reimburse, defend, and hold harmless Buyer Indemnitees with respect to

                           the provisions of Section 10.13; and

                  (2)      Sellers shall have liability only until the aggregate of such Liabilities/Claims (for
                           which timely notice was given) reaches Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and has
                           been satisfied, whereupon Sellers' liability with respect to such Liabilities/Claims
                           will cease.   The $5,000,000.00 aggregate liability of Sellers under this Subsection

                  regarding Title), Sellers' liability under the Agreement or relating to the transactions
                  contemplated thereby (of any kind, including for indemnity or otherwise) for any

                           Effective Time by a Buyer Indemnitee giving Sellers written notice in accordance with
                           the provisions of Section 10.13; and

                  (2)      Sellers shall have liability only until the aggregate of such  Liabilities/Claims (for
                           which timely notice was given) reaches Thirty-two Million Five Hundred Thousand
                           Dollars ($32,500,000.00) and has been satisfied, whereupon Sellers' liability with
                           respect to such Liabilities/Claims will cease.   The Ceiling amount of Seventeen
                           Million Dollars ($17,000,000.00) set forth in Section 10.05(a) shall be counted toward
                           the Thirty-two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($32,500,000.00) aggregate
                           liability of Sellers under this Subsection.

         10.06    <u>Expenditures</u>.  It is the intent of the Parties that any costs, expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees), or other monetary payments or expenditures (including monies paid
via judgment or settlement) incurred or paid by Sellers or by the Seller Guarantors in satisfying Sellers'
indemnity obligations to Buyer in accordance with the provisions of this Article X, and including defense costs
in defending a Buyer Indemnitee (but excluding Sellers' Defense Costs, as hereinafter defined) shall be
"Expenditures" as that term is used herein.  The Expenditures and Sellers' Defense Costs relating to the aggregate
liability of Sellers and Seller Guarantors under this Article X shall be included toward Sellers' Maximum
Liability (as defined in Section 10.08), and the Expenditures relating to Sellers' or Seller Guarantors'
satisfaction of their indemnity obligations under Sections 10.01(a), 10.02, and 10.04 shall be included toward
the Ceiling (as defined in Section 10.05(a)(2)) and (to the extent that such Expenditures specifically relate to
satisfaction by Sellers or Seller Guarantors of the Offsite Disposal indemnity provided for in Section 10.02)
toward the limit provided for in Section 10.05(b)(2) (dealing with Offsite Disposal, to the extent such
Expenditures specifically relate to Sellers' or Seller Guarantors' satisfaction of their Offsite Disposal
indemnity obligations).

         10.07    <u>Buyer's Indemnity</u>.

         (a)      Except as specifically provided for in Sections 10.01 through 10.06, commencing at the
                  Effective Time, Buyer shall indemnify, reimburse, defend, and hold harmless Sellers, their
                  parent companies, Affiliates, and subsidiaries and their respective partners, members,
                  Affiliates, directors, shareholders, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives,
                  contractors, and subcontractors (collectively, "Sellers Indemnitees") from and against: (1) all

<PAGE>

                  Liabilities/Claims, whether or not caused in whole or in part by the strict liability, fault,
                  or negligence of Sellers, Buyer Indemnitees or any other Person (whether sole, joint,
                  concurrent, or comparative with any strict liability, fault, or negligence of Buyer or any
                  other person) arising from or relating to (A) the ownership or operation of the Splitter Assets
                  by any Person arising after the Effective Time; (B) the condition of the Splitter Assets,
                  whether attributable to periods of time before or after the Effective Time;  or (C) all
                  Environmental Liabilities/Claims (other than those covered by Sections 10.01(a) or 10.02),
                  whether attributable to periods of time before or after the Effective Time; and  (2) all
                  Liabilities/Claims arising from or related to any breach of Buyer's express representations,
                  warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein.

         (b)      Commencing at the earlier of (1) the time when Sellers and Sellers Guarantors, in the
                  aggregate, have incurred or paid Liabilities/Claims totaling the sum of Five Million Dollars
                  ($5,000,000.00) for Offsite Disposal  pursuant to Section 10.02 and the other applicable
                  provisions of this Article X, or (2) the expiration of the period of four (4) years after the
                  Effective Time (whether or not Sellers and Sellers Guarantors have paid or incurred all or any
                  part of the $5,000,000.00 amount), Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sellers
                  Indemnitees from and against any Liabilities/Claims arising from or relating to Offsite
                  Disposal, whether attributable to periods of time before or after the Effective Time, and
                  whether or not Sellers, but for this Section 10.07(b), would be legally liable to the claimant
                  or to a Buyer Indemnitee or otherwise for such Liabilities/Claims.

         (c)      Commencing at the earlier of (1) the time when Sellers and Sellers Guarantors, in the
                  aggregate, have incurred or paid, after the Effective Time, Sellers' Maximum Liability arising
                  from or related to the Splitter Assets, or (2) the expiration of the period of five (5) years
                  after the Effective Time for any Liabilities/Claims for which notice is given to Sellers after
                  such five (5) year period expires (whether or not Sellers and Sellers Guarantors have paid or
                  incurred Sellers' Maximum Liability), Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sellers
                  Indemnitees from and against any Liabilities/Claims of any kind or nature (except for a Tax
                  Liability) arising out of or related to the Splitter Assets, whether attributable to periods of
                  time before or after the Effective Time, and whether or not Sellers, but for this Section
                  10.07(c), would be legally liable to the claimant or to a Buyer Indemnitee or otherwise for
                  such a Liability/Claim or a part thereof.

         10.08    <u>Sellers' Maximum Liability</u><u>.</u>  As reflected above, it is the intent of the Parties
that Sellers have contractual indemnity obligations only under Sections 10.01 through 10.04 (subject to the
limits provided for in this Article X), and that Buyer have contractual indemnity obligations only under Section
10.07 (subject to the limits provided for in this Article X). In no event shall the sum of Sellers' and Sellers
Guarantors' payments for Expenditures, Liabilities/Claims, and Sellers and Sellers Guarantor's costs in defending
themselves ("Sellers' Defense Costs"), including amounts applied toward the Ceiling in Section 10.05(a), exceed
Thirty-two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($32,500,000.00) ("Sellers' Maximum Liability"), exclusive of
and without limitation of Sellers' obligations under Sections 10.01(c) and 10.03 of this Article X and under
Sections 6.07(b) and 6.07(d) of the Agreement.

         10.09    <u>Sole and Exclusive Remedy</u><u>.</u>  Other than claims for actual fraud, the right of each
Party to seek indemnification (subject to the limitations provided for in this Article X) from the other Party
pursuant to this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of each Party against the other under the
Agreement, and subject to the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that, except by virtue of the
indemnification provisions set forth herein, none of the Parties are entitled to any non-contractual indemnity,
contribution, adjustment, reduction, set-off, damages, injunctions, specific performance, or the like in
connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.

         10.10    <u>Limitation</u><u>.</u>  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement,
neither Party:


PAGE 30
<PAGE>

         (a)      shall be liable to the other Party for any damages related to or arising in connection with the
                  Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby other than actual or compensatory damages; it
                  being agreed that no Party shall be liable to the other for indirect, incidental,
                  consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages hereunder, including any lost earnings or
                  profits, losses due to business interruption or diminution in value of the business except to
                  the extent arising from third Persons; or

         (b)      shall be entitled to recover more than once for any one Liability/Claim for which full
                  indemnification is provided hereunder, such as in the case of Liabilities/Claims flowing from
                  the breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement hereunder.

         10.11     [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

         10.12    <u>Survival</u>.  Except as set forth below in this Section 10.12, all obligations under the
Agreement, including the indemnification obligations hereunder, shall survive the Effective Time; provided that
the representations and warranties of Sellers and Buyer contained in Sections 4.01(a), (b), (c) and (d) and
5.01(a), (b), (c), (e), (f) and (g) of the Agreement shall survive the Effective Time indefinitely, but subject
to the applicable statute of limitations, and all other representations and warranties of Sellers and Buyer in
the Agreement shall survive the Effective Time for two (2) years; provided that any acknowledgments, waivers, or
representations given in the Agreement may be asserted as a defense by any Party hereunder at any time in
connection with defending a claim or claims asserted by the other Party hereto, or its successors or assigns,
with regard to any of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement; and provided further that Buyer's indemnity
obligations hereunder shall survive the Effective Time indefinitely notwithstanding any otherwise applicable
statute of limitation.

         10.13    <u>Indemnification Procedures</u>.

         (a)      If a Party to be indemnified under the Agreement (an "Indemnitee") learns of facts that the
                  Party believes would entitle that Party to indemnification from the other Party (an
                  "Indemnitor") (including, in the case of Buyer, that would apply toward the Deductible or the
                  Ceiling applicable to Sellers' indemnity obligation hereunder or to the Title Deductible), the
                  Party who has the right of indemnification based upon such facts shall, within sixty (60) days
                  after the month in which that Party learns of such facts, provide written notice to the other
                  Party containing reasonable details and any supporting documentation then known to the
                  notifying Party of the facts upon which the indemnity claim is based.  Supplemental written
                  notices of additional material facts with respect to matters previously noticed will be given
                  promptly by the Party to be indemnified to the other.  Failure to comply with the proper notice
                  provisions of this Section 10.13 shall result in a waiver of the right of a Party to seek
                  indemnification or other relief from the other Party or from the Buyer Guarantor or Sellers
                  Guarantors, as applicable.

         (b)      The Indemnitor shall have the right, at its option and at its own expense, to be represented by
                  counsel of its choice and to participate in the defense, negotiation, and/or settlement of any
                  Liability/Claim for which it is obligated hereunder which results from a Person not affiliated
                  with the Indemnitor ("Third Person Liability/Claim").  If Indemnitor chooses to acknowledge its
                  obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for such Third Person Liability/Claim, Indemnitor may
                  assume the defense thereof with Indemnitor-selected counsel to which Indemnitee has not
                  reasonably objected.  Should the Indemnitor so elect to assume the defense of a Third Person
                  Liability/Claim, the Indemnitor shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for legal expenses
                  subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof.  If the
                  Indemnitor assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the
                  defense thereof and to employ counsel (not reasonably objected to by the Indemnitor), at its
                  own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnitor, it being understood that the
                  Indemnitor shall control such assumed defense.  The Indemnitor shall be liable for the


PAGE 31
<PAGE>

                  reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee for any period during which
                  the Indemnitor has failed to assume the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to
                  the time the Indemnitee shall have given notice of the Third Person Liability/Claim as provided
                  above).

         (c)      If the Indemnitor so elects to assume the defense of any Third Person Liability/Claim, the
                  Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in the defense or prosecution thereof.  Such
                  cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnitor's request) the provision to
                  the Indemnitor of records and information, which are relevant to such Third Person
                  Liability/Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
                  additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the
                  Indemnitor shall have assumed the defense of a Third Person Liability/Claim, the Indemnitee
                  shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third
                  Person Liability/Claim without the Indemnitor's prior written consent (which consent shall not
                  be unreasonably withheld). If the Indemnitor shall have assumed the defense of a Third Person
                  Liability/Claim, the Indemnitee shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a
                  Third Person Liability/Claim which the Indemnitor may recommend and which by its terms
                  obligates the Indemnitor to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third
                  Person Liability/Claim, which releases the Indemnitee completely in connection with such Third
                  Person Liability/Claim and which would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnitee.

         (d)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume the defense of
                  any Third Person Liability/Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
                  counsel incurred by the Indemnitee in defending such Third Person Liability/Claim) if the Third
                  Person Liability/Claim seeks an order, injunction, or other equitable relief or relief for
                  other than money damages against the Indemnitee which the Indemnitee reasonably determines,
                  after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money
                  damages.  If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third Person Liability/Claim
                  can be so separated from that for money damages, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to assume the
                  defense of the portion relating to money damages. The indemnification required by the foregoing
                  sections shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
                  investigation, remediation, or defense, as and when bills are received or loss, liability,
                  claim, damage or expense is incurred.

                                                    ARTICLE XI
                                              <u>EMPLOYEE MATTERS</u>

         11.01    <u>Employees</u>

(a)      Buyer may interview and offer employment to any or all of the individuals listed on Schedule 11.01 (the
         "Employees"), which offers of employment shall be effective as of the Effective Time. Buyer shall provide
         to Sellers a list of all of those Employees it wishes to interview or to make offers of employment
         without interviews and shall coordinate interviews with a Sellers-designated representative.  Sellers
         shall (i) cooperate with Buyer in its attempts to hire such Employees who may be offered employment by
         Buyer, (ii) permit Buyer to review the personnel records and such other information concerning such
         Employees as Buyer may reasonably request, subject to obtaining any legally required written permission
         of any affected Employee and subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law, and (iii) not
         directly or indirectly discourage any Employee from accepting an offer of employment from Buyer.   Buyer
         shall provide to Sellers a list of those Employees it intends to make offers of employment, which list
         shall include the offered salary and location of employment.  Sellers shall, and shall cause their
         owners and their Affiliates to, continue to employ all Employees through the Effective Time, except for
         any Employee who (i) is terminated with the prior written consent of Buyer or (ii) voluntarily resigns.
         Buyer shall also provide to Sellers a list of those Employees who have previously accepted Buyer's
         employment offer on or before seven (7) days prior to the Closing Date. Those Employees accepting


PAGE 32
<PAGE>

         employment with Buyer effective as of the Effective Date are herein referred to as the "Hired
         Employees."  Buyer agrees that it will treat the Hired Employees on substantially the same basis as other
         similarly situated employees of Buyer.  Sellers shall not, and shall cause their owners and their
         respective Affiliates to not, solicit the services of any Hired Employee during the one-year period
         following the Closing Date.

(b)      Buyer will be responsible for any severance pay and severance benefits to the extent required under
         federal, state, or local law, or notices required under such laws, with respect to terminations by Buyer
         of Hired Employees occurring after the Effective Time.  Buyer shall defend, indemnify, and hold Sellers
         and their Affiliates harmless from any Liabilities/Claims by any Hired Employee for their wages,
         salaries, bonuses, severance pay, and severance benefits provided under federal, state, or local law,
         notices required under such laws, and compensation or benefits of any kind which have been earned under
         Buyer's employee benefit plans as a result of and related to any of the Hired Employees' employment by
         Buyer after the Effective Time.

(c)      Sellers or their Affiliates shall retain responsibility for payment of the following matters that have
         been earned for the periods prior and up to the Effective Time as a result of the Employees' employment
         with Seller:

         (i)      wages, salaries and bonuses;

         (ii)     severance pay and severance benefits to the extent required under federal, state, or local law,
                  or notices required under such laws, with respect to employees of Sellers who are terminated
                  prior to the Effective Time; and

         (iii)    except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article XI, all liability and obligations under
                  all Employee Benefit Plans, deferred and incentive compensation plans of Sellers or its
                  Affiliates and all employment-based or related claims and matters.

11.02    <u>Employee Benefit Plans</u>.

(a)      As of the Effective Time, Sellers or their Affiliates shall cause the termination of the participation
         of the Hired Employees in all of the savings, Code section 401(k), pension, retirement, medical, dental,
         life insurance, accident and sickness, short-term disability, long-term disability, profit-sharing,
         deferred compensation, stock option, vacation, stock bonus, employee stock ownership, bonus, severance,
         or other similar plans, programs, agreements, and arrangements, including all employee benefit plans as
         defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"),
         which are maintained by or contributed to by Sellers (the "Plans"), except that the Hired Employees'
         participation in Sellers' or their Affiliates' medical and dental plans shall continue through the last
         day of the month in which the Effective Time occurs.  At the end of the last day of the month prior to
         the month in which the Effective Time occurs, the Hired Employees' participation in Sellers' or their
         Affiliates' medical and dental plans shall terminate. If the "same desk" rule does not apply to the
         Sellers' or their Affiliates' tax qualified savings plan, Sellers shall make distribution to the
         Employees in accordance with the terms of Sellers' or their Affiliates' plan.  Sellers and Buyer shall
         permit direct rollovers to Buyer's plan in cash and participants' loans for electing participants.
         Buyer's tax qualified savings plan permits rollovers of outstanding participants' loans.  If such rule
         applies, the Parties shall cooperate in determining whether a Plan to Plan transfer of assets from
         Sellers' or their Affiliates' tax qualified savings plan to Buyer's tax qualified savings plan can be
         made for the Hired Employees.  If it is determined a transfer of assets can be made, the Parties shall
         promptly arrange a conference call with their respective record keepers of their Plans and direct the
         record keepers to cause a transfer of assets ("TOA"), in a form acceptable to Buyer, and shall establish
         a date for the TOA. The Parties shall urge their respective record keepers to conclude the TOA as
         quickly as possible, but in any event within nine (9) months after the Parties have agreed to the TOA.
         Each Party shall ensure that amendments to its Plan documents necessary to accomplish the TOA are
         submitted to its board of directors prior to the TOA and shall provide the other Party with a copy of
         any such amendment upon adoption.


PAGE 33
<PAGE>

(b)      As of the Effective Time, all of the Hired Employees will either be covered or permitted to enroll in
         all of Buyer's Plans in accordance with the terms and conditions of Buyer's plans in effect from time to
         time for its similarly situated employees generally.

(c)      As of the Effective Time, Buyer shall waive or cause the waiver of waiting periods, pre-existing
         condition exclusions, and other limitations on participation otherwise applicable to any Hired Employee
         and qualified dependents (who was covered by an employee group health plan of Sellers or their
         Affiliates and immediately elects to be covered by the group health plan of Buyer) under or with respect
         to all plans maintained by Buyer for such Hired Employees.  Buyer shall recognize or cause to be
         recognized all claims and expenses of Hired Employees during 2002 for purposes of satisfying applicable
         deductible provisions (and any other like adjustments or limitations on coverage) under, and to the
         extent recognized for current employees of Buyer, all applicable group health plans maintained by
         Buyer.  To the extent reasonably required by Buyer, Sellers shall cause Sellers' or their Affiliates'
         plan providers and insurers to provide to Buyer a true and complete listing of all amounts so expended
         (including co-payments and deductibles paid) with respect to each Hired Employee and such other
         information as Buyer may reasonably require in order to properly administer the provisions of this
         Section 11.02(c).

(d)      Without limiting Section 11.01(c)(iii), Sellers shall retain responsibility for all medical, dental,
         life, vision, AD and D, cafeteria, short-term disability, and long-term disability claims by any Hired
         Employee which were incurred on or prior to the Effective Time and for workers' compensation claims
         related to injuries arising from the employment of the Employees for periods prior to the Effective
         Time, in each case to the extent covered by the respective employee benefit plan and/or insurance plan
         or policy of Sellers or their Affiliates, and any claims regarding Sellers' 401(k) Plan which arise out
         of the administration or operation of such Plan prior to the Effective Time.  Sellers will provide
         reasonable assistance, at no cost to Buyer, for the administration or termination of such benefits.

(e)      For purposes of this Section 11.02, a claim for reimbursement under a medical, hospital or dental,
         prescription drug, or similar plan shall be deemed to be incurred on the date that the claim occurs.  A
         claim occurs on the date service is provided and there shall be no continuation of a claim from one day
         to the next.  In the event of a hospitalization commencing on or prior to the last day of the month in
         which the Effective Time occurs, any existing coverage shall cease on the end of the last day of the
         month in which the Effective Time occurs unless the participant elects COBRA continuation coverage.

(f)      To the extent recognized by Sellers, prior employment with Sellers or an Affiliate thereof shall be
         recognized by Buyer for the purpose of determining service awards, vacation eligibility, and for
         eligibility, vesting, and participation under Buyer's employee benefit plans for the Hired Employees but
         not with respect to calculating pension benefit payments; provided, however, that vacation time earned
         and unused while a Hired Employee was employed by Sellers' Affiliate shall be paid by the employing
         Affiliate to the applicable Hired Employees; and provided further, that Buyer shall allow Hired
         Employees to take such accrued and unused vacation on or before the time it would have been required to
         be taken under the Hired Employee's prior employer's policies without pay. Neither the foregoing nor any
         other provision of this Article XI constitutes an assumption of any liability by Buyer with respect to
         any liability or obligation of Sellers, their owners or an Affiliate thereof to or with respect to any
         Hired Employees.  Commencing with the anniversary year of their employment with Buyer, Hired Employees
         will be given vacation recognizing prior years of service with Sellers or their Affiliates on Buyer's
         vacation schedule.

(g)      Nothing in this Article XI should be construed as requiring Buyer to maintain any employee benefit plan
         or prevent Buyer from amending or terminating any employee benefit plan at any time in its sole
         discretion.  Further, nothing herein shall prevent Buyer from terminating any Hired Employee after the
         Effective Time for any reason.

(h)      No provision of this Article XI shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Hired Employee
         (or any beneficiary or dependent thereof), including without limitation, any right to continued
         employment with Buyer for any specified period of time after the Effective Time.

(i)      Sellers and Buyer agree that, with respect to Hired Employees who accept employment with Buyer upon the
         Closing, each will take the position that they respectively meet the definitions of "predecessor" and
         "successor" as defined in Revenue Procedure 96-60 and IRS Regulation Section 31.3121(a)(1)-1(b).  Absent
         a mutual agreement to the contrary, Sellers and Buyer will use the "Standard Procedure" described in
         Section 4 of Revenue Procedure 96-60.  Sellers shall supply to Buyer, with respect to all Hired
         Employees, all cumulative payroll information as of the Effective Time that Buyer shall reasonably
         request in order to comply with IRS Regulation 31.3121(a)(1)-1(b).

                                                    ARTICLE XII
                                          <u>MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS</u>

         12.01    <u>Commission</u>.  Each of the Parties hereto represents and warrants that there are no claims
against such Party for brokerage commissions or finders' fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, and Sellers and Buyer will respectively pay or discharge, and will defend (upon the other's
request) and indemnify the other for brokerage commissions or finders' fees incurred by reason of any action
taken by such indemnifying Party.

         12.02    <u>Assignment</u>.  The terms, provisions, and conditions of this Agreement shall extend to, be
binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto, their respective successors, and assigns.  No Party
will make an assignment of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to a Person that is not an
Affiliate of such assigning Party without the prior written consent of the other, which such consent may be
withheld for any reason; provided, that notwithstanding any contrary provision of law, including Texas statutory
law, a merger or consolidation of Sellers or Buyer with or into any other Person (excluding an Affiliate) shall
be an assignment for purposes of this Agreement, and provided further, that the assigning Party, as a condition
to making an assignment to an Affiliate or to obtaining the consent of the other Party to any non-Affiliate
assignment, shall execute and deliver an instrument, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the consenting Party,
by which the assigning party expressly agrees to remain bound by and primarily liable under this Agreement.  Any
assignment or attempted assignment in violation of this Section shall be void.

         12.03    <u>Entire Agreement; Amendments</u>.  This Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules attached
hereto and incorporated by reference herein contain the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to its
subject matter.  This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with
respect to its subject matter, except for that certain Confidentiality Agreement dated December 14, 2000, between
the Parties or their Affiliates which shall remain in full force and effect pursuant to its terms with respect to
all information provided by Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers to Buyer relating to any assets or businesses
other than the Splitter Assets or the assets purchased by Buyer's Affiliate, Enterprise Products Texas Operating
L.P., pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated January 16, 2002 between Enterprise Products
Texas Operating L.P., as buyer, and D-K I and D-K III, as sellers.   Additionally, Sellers agree to hold in
confidence and not disclose all Splitter Asset-related Confidential Information (as that term is defined in such
Confidentiality Agreement), except and to the extent required to be disclosed by applicable Legal Requirements
(including disclosures necessary or convenient in the winding up of the business related to the Splitter
Assets).  This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument duly executed by the Parties.  Any condition
to a Party's obligations hereunder may be waived in writing by such Party.  No waiver by any Party of any one or
more defaults by the other in performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall operate or be
construed as a waiver of any future default or defaults, whether of a like or different character.

         12.04    <u>Severability</u>.  Each portion of this Agreement is intended to be severable.  If any term
or provision hereof is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement.

         12.05    <u>Actions</u>.  Each Party agrees that it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or
cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary for it to consummate the transactions as set forth in this
Agreement and to assure that it will not be under any material corporate, legal, or contractual restriction that
would prohibit or delay the timely consummation of such transactions.

         12.06    <u>Termination</u>.

         (a)      This Agreement may be terminated at any time on or prior to the Closing:

                  (1)      by mutual written consent of Sellers and Buyer;

                  (2)      by Sellers on the Closing if the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 have not been
                  satisfied by Buyer or waived by Sellers in writing by the Closing;

                  (3)      by Buyer on the Closing if the conditions set forth in Section 8.02 have not been
                  satisfied by Sellers or waived by Buyer in writing by the Closing;

                  (4)      pursuant to Section 6.01; and

                  (5)      by either Party, if there shall be any final, non-appealable order, writ, injunction
                  or decree of any Governmental Body binding Sellers or Buyer which prohibits or restrains
                  Sellers or Buyer from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby.

         (b)      If the Closing does not occur as a result of either Sellers or Buyer exercising its right to
                  terminate pursuant to this Section 12.06, this Agreement shall be null and void, and no Party
                  shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement, except that:

                  (1)      All filings, applications and other submissions made to any Governmental Body shall,
                  to the extent practicable, be withdrawn from the Governmental Body to which they were made;

                  (2)      A termination shall not relieve any Party from any liability for breach hereof
                  occurring prior to termination, and the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to any and all
                  relief under applicable law or in equity on account of such breach; and

                  (3)      Buyer's indemnification and related obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement
                  referenced in Section 12.03 shall survive any such termination.

         12.07    <u>Counterparts</u>.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.

         12.08    <u>Governing Law</u>.  This Agreement shall be governed by, enforced in accordance with, and
interpreted under the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to itS conflicts of law principles.

         12.09    <u>Preparation of Agreement/Relationship of Parties</u>.  This Agreement was prepared jointly
by the Parties hereto and not by either to the exclusion of the other.  Neither Party hereto stands in any
fiduciary or confidential relationship to the other Party; nor are the Parties hereto partners, joint venturers,
or otherwise in a relationship imposing any fiduciary duty on one Party to the other Party.  Each Party
acknowledges and agrees that it has a duty to read this Agreement and all Exhibits and Schedules hereto, and all
documents and instruments referred to herein or in such Exhibits and Schedules; that it has in fact read this
Agreement and is fully informed and has full notice and knowledge of its terms, conditions, and effect; that it
has been represented by legal counsel of its choice throughout the negotiations preceding its execution of this
Agreement and has received the advice of such counsel in connection therewith; and that it recognizes that
certain of the terms of this Agreement provide for the assumption by one Party of, and/or release of the other
Party from, certain liabilities that such Party would otherwise be responsible for under law.  Each Party hereby
agrees that it will not contest the validity or enforceability of any provisions of this Agreement on the basis
that the Party had no notice or knowledge thereof or that such provisions are not "conspicuous."

         12.10    <u>Notices and Addresses</u>.  (a) All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be served on the Parties at the addresses set forth in Section 12.10(b).  Any such notices may


PAGE 36

be sent by (1) a nationally recognized overnight courier, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered three
(3) business days after deposit with such courier, (2) facsimile transmission, in which case notice shall be
deemed delivered upon actual receipt by recipient,  (3) certified mail, return receipt requested, in which case
notice will be deemed delivered three (3) business days after mailing, or (4) hand-delivery, in which case notice
shall be deemed delivered upon actual receipt by recipient.  Copies of notices are for informational purposes
only, and a failure to give or receive copies of any notice shall not be deemed a failure to give notice. Any
notice or other communication required to be given under this Agreement or in connection with the matters
contemplated by it shall be in writing in the English language. The refusal to accept delivery shall constitute
acceptance, and in such event, the date of delivery shall be the date on which delivery was refused.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the delivery of any notice, item, or
information, pursuant to the terms hereof, begins the running of a time period during which a Party is obligated
to respond or else have its approval deemed to have been granted or denied, then such notice, item, or
information shall either bear or be accompanied by a cover letter which bears the following legend (in bold and
capital letters): "TIME SENSITIVE REQUEST - RESPONSE REQUIRED WITHIN A FINITE NUMBER OF DAYS."

         12.11    <u>Dispute Resolution</u><u>.</u>

         (a)      This Agreement is made in Texas and shall be governed by Texas law pursuant to Section 12.08.
                  In relation to any dispute resolution, legal action, or proceedings to enforce this Agreement
                  or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement ("Enforcement Proceedings"), each of the
                  Parties irrevocably agrees to conduct such proceedings in an appropriate federal or state court
                  sitting in Houston, Harris County, Texas, and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such
                  courts and waives any objection to Enforcement Proceedings in such courts on the grounds of
                  jurisdiction, venue, or on the grounds that the Enforcement Proceedings have been brought in an
                  inconvenient forum. The prevailing Party in any such Proceedings (specifically excluding the
                  dispute resolution proceedings described in the following subsection) shall be entitled to
                  recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and other fees and expenses from the other Party.

         (b)      The Parties agree that all claims, controversies, and disputes arising out of or relating to
                  this Agreement, or to the breach, termination, interpretation, or validity thereof ("Disputes")
                  shall be handled as follows: The Party initiating the Dispute shall first give written notice
                  of the Dispute to the other Party.  Executives (of each Party) having authority to settle the
                  Dispute shall then meet and negotiate to resolve the Dispute. If such executives fail to meet
                  or are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date of the receiving
                  Party's receipt of the notice from the Party initiating the Dispute, the Parties shall endeavor
                  to settle the dispute by mediation under the Mediation Procedure of the CPR Institute for
                  Dispute Resolution ("CPR") in effect on the date of this Agreement. The Parties have agreed
                  that CPR shall select a mediator in any such Dispute, and such person will agree to serve in
                  that capacity and to be available on reasonable notice.  If the foregoing selected individual
                  is or becomes unwilling or unable to serve, CPR shall appoint another mediator. If neither of
                  these two selected individuals is able or willing to serve, the Parties will agree on a
                  substitute with the assistance of CPR. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will
                  select a mediator from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals. Each Party agrees to bear
                  fifty percent (50%) of the mediation costs, including the fees and expenses of the mediator. If
                  the Dispute has not been resolved by mediation within sixty (60) days after the mediator has
                  commenced such mediation, either Party shall be free to file an appropriate action in the
                  courts identified in the prior subsection with respect to such Dispute.

         (c)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall be free to seek judicial relief in the courts
                  specified in subsection (a) above, without resort to the dispute resolution procedures of
                  subsection (b) above, if necessary to prevent immediate or irreparable harm.

12.12    <u>No Third Party Beneficiaries</u>.<u></u>  Nothing in this Agreement shall provide any benefit to any
third party or entitle any third party to any claim, cause of action, remedy, or right of any kind, it being the
intent of the Parties to this Agreement that this Agreement shall not be construed as a third party beneficiary

contract; provided, however, that the provisions of Article IX and Article X related to disclaimers and
indemnification in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Buyer Indemnitees and the Sellers Indemnitees
as provided therein.

12.13    <u>Expenses</u><u>.</u>  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, and except
as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs or expenses.
