A. Respondents shall divest the Phillips Woods Cross Assets to a single acquirer that receives the prior approval of the Commission and only in a manner that receives the prior approval of the Commission, absolutely and in good faith and at no minimum price, within twelve (12) months from the date Respondents executed the Agreement Containing Consent Orders.

B. Respondents shall, upon the Effective Date of Divestiture of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets, assign to the acquirer of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets all Phillips Woods Cross Supply Agreements.

C. Respondents shall provide the acquirer of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets (and shall enter into an agreement with the acquirer of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets, to be effective upon the Effective Date of Divestiture of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets, which shall be subject to the prior approval of the Commission, that includes terms that provide for) the following:

1. for a period of ten (10) years from the Effective Date of Divestiture of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets, at no payment by the acquirer to the Respondents:
a. in connection with the sale of Motor Fuels, the exclusive right to use in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming or Montana all brand names that are (i) owned by or licensed to Phillips, and (ii) used by Phillips or Phillips Branded Sellers in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana as of the date Respondents executed the Agreement Containing Consent Orders, including the exclusive rights to use Phillips' identification signs, trademarks, and other trade indicia, and the non-exclusive right to accept and process Phillips credit cards in connection with such sales of Phillips Branded Fuels;

Provided, however, that Respondents shall not otherwise interfere with the acquirer's right to sell Aviation Fuels under any brand name owned by or licensed to a Person other than Respondents or under no brand; and provided further that the rights granted under this Paragraph II.C.1. shall include any modifications, upgrades, improvements, or changes to a brand name, identification sign, trademark, or other trade indicia made by Respondents after the Merger for use in other states, except in circumstances in which a brand name, identification sign, trademark, or other trade indicia, includes the name "Conoco" or uses any brand name, identification sign, trademark, or other trade indicia used by Conoco or Conoco Branded Sellers as of the date Respondents executed the Agreement Containing Consent Orders.
2. at the end of the ninth year after the Effective Date of Divestiture of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets, Respondents shall offer to meet with the acquirer to discuss a renewal of the agreement;

4. Ancillary Products acquired from Respondents for resale in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana at commercial, arms'-length terms no less favorable than those given by Respondents to other wholesale purchasers who buy Ancillary Products of like quantity, grade, and quality from Respondents, but permitting differences in price that arise from Respondents' differences in manufacturing, purchasing, shipping or storage costs, if any.

D. Respondent may include in the agreement with the acquirer of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets a requirement that the acquirer:

1. take commercially reasonable steps to protect the integrity of any trademark, tradename or logo licensed to the acquirer of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets pursuant to this Paragraph; and
 
2. comply with all standards and requirements relating to the display and presentation of trademarks, tradenames, or logos licensed to the acquirer of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets pursuant to this Paragraph if such standards or requirements are also imposed on Respondents' sellers of Phillips Branded Fuels in other geographies.

E. Respondents shall divest the Phillips Woods Cross Assets, assign all Phillips Woods Cross Supply Agreements, and enter into the agreements as required by Paragraphs II.A., II.B., II.C., and II.D. only to a single acquirer that receives the prior approval of the Commission and only in a manner that receives the prior approval of the Commission.

F. Respondents shall offer the acquirer of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets an indemnity, subject to the prior approval of the Commission and to be effective upon the Effective Date of Divestiture of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets, which indemnity shall allocate among Respondents and the acquirer, on such terms as the Respondents and the acquirer agree, responsibility with respect to potential claims and liabilities arising out of failure to comply with local, state, and federal environmental obligations in connection with the Phillips Woods Cross Assets that are divested or assigned pursuant to this Paragraph.

G. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph II.C., in the event that the acquirer of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets ceases using any Phillips brand in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana pursuant to the agreement conveying the right to use that Phillips brand described in Paragraph II.C., Respondents shall have the right to use that Phillips brand in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana beginning two (2) years after the acquirer of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets ceases to use that Phillips brand in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.

H. If, at any time from the date Respondents executed the Agreement Containing Consent Orders until the Effective Date of Divestiture of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets, Respondents terminate or enter into discussions with any Person relating to construction of or plans to construct a pipeline that will deliver light petroleum products into Utah or Western Colorado, Respondents shall, at the same time they terminate or enter into such discussions: (1) provide a copy of this Order to such Person; and (2) notify all Persons who have expressed to Respondents an interest in acquiring the Phillips Woods Cross Assets that they have terminated or entered into such discussions.

I. Until the Effective Date of Divestiture of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets, Respondents shall take such actions as are necessary to maintain the viability and marketability of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets and to prevent the destruction, removal, wasting, deterioration, or impairment of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets, except for ordinary wear and tear, including, but not limited to, continuing in effect and maintaining all proprietary trademarks, trade names, logos, trade dress, identification signs, and renewing or extending any base leases or ground leases that expire or terminate prior to the Effective Date of Divestiture of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets. Until the assignments of the Phillips Woods Cross Supply Agreements provided by Paragraph II.B. occur, Respondents shall not attempt in any way to encourage any Phillips Branded Seller to terminate, and shall not terminate (except for reasons set out in § 2802(c) of the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 2802(c)) or intentionally interfere with compliance with any Phillips Woods Cross Supply Agreement, and Respondents shall continue in effect all programs and other business practices aimed at maintaining existing relationships with parties to any Phillips Woods Cross Supply Agreement and shall otherwise seek to preserve such relationships as diligently as was done prior to the time Respondents executed the Agreement Containing Consent Orders.

J. In the event that Respondents are unable to satisfy all conditions necessary to divest any intangible asset, Respondents shall: (1) with respect to permits, licenses, or other rights granted by governmental authorities (other than patents), provide such assistance as the acquirer may reasonably request in the acquirer's efforts to obtain comparable permits, licenses or rights, and (2) with respect to other intangible assets (including patents and contractual rights), substitute equivalent assets or arrangements, subject to the prior approval of the Commission. A substituted asset or arrangement will not be deemed equivalent unless it enables the Woods Cross refinery to perform the same function at the same or less cost.

K. In the event that Respondents are unable to divest the Phillips interest in the Boise or Burley terminals solely due to the failure of any co-owner to waive its preferential rights should those rights exist (and only after Respondents have used best efforts to obtain such waiver), Respondents shall enter into a substitute equivalent arrangement or agreement, subject to the prior approval of the Commission, such as a throughput arrangement, a lease agreement, or any other arrangement to enable the acquirer of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets to obtain the same commercial benefit it would have obtained if it had purchased Phillips' interest in the Boise or Burley terminals. A substituted arrangement or agreement will not be deemed equivalent unless it enables the Woods Cross refinery to perform the same function at the same or less cost and unless it provides supply of refined petroleum products and Terminaling at the same or less cost than Phillips' cost.

L. For any obligation of Respondents pursuant to this Paragraph that is at the option of the acquirer, Respondents need not fulfill such obligation only if the following two conditions are satisfied: (1) the acquirer exercises its option not to have Respondents fulfill the obligation; and (2) the Commission approves the divestiture without the fulfillment of that obligation.

M. The purpose of this Paragraph is to ensure that the Phillips Woods Cross Assets remain in the market and to remedy the lessening of competition in the refining, terminaling and bulk supply of Motor Fuels and other petroleum products resulting from the proposed Merger as alleged in the Commission's Complaint. A further purpose of this Paragraph is to ensure that the acquirer of the Phillips Woods Cross Assets has the same capabilities and incentives as did Phillips prior to the Merger to expand and develop alternative sources of Motor Fuels and other light petroleum products for the Northern Utah market as alleged in the Commission's Complaint and is able to take control of the assets and, with minimal additional investment, compete as aggressively as did Phillips prior to the Merger.

B. If a Divestiture Trustee is appointed by the Commission or a court pursuant to Paragraph X of this Order to divest the Assets To Be Divested, Respondents shall consent to the following terms and conditions regarding the Divestiture Trustee's powers, duties, authority, and responsibilities:

1. The Commission shall select the trustee or trustees, subject to the consent of Respondents, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

If, however, at the end of the twelve-month period, the trustee has submitted a plan of divestiture or believes that divestiture can be achieved within a reasonable time, the divestiture period may be extended by the Commission, or, in the case of a court-appointed trustee, by the court, provided; however, the Commission may extend this period only two (2) times.
 
5. The trustee shall have full and complete access to the personnel, books, records and facilities related to the Assets To Be Divested or to any other relevant information, as the trustee may request.

6. The trustee shall use his or her best efforts to negotiate the most favorable price and terms available in each contract that is submitted to the Commission, subject to Respondents' absolute and unconditional obligation to divest expeditiously at no minimum price. The divestiture shall be made in the manner and to the acquirer or acquirers as set out in Paragraphs II through VIII of this Order, as applicable; provided, however, if the trustee receives bona fide offers from more than one acquiring entity, and if the Commission determines to approve more than one such acquiring entity, the trustee shall divest to the acquiring entity or entities selected by Respondents from among those approved by the Commission.
 
7. The trustee shall serve, without bond or other security, at the cost and expense of Respondents, on such reasonable and customary terms and conditions as the Commission or a court may set.

The trustee shall account for all monies derived from the divestiture and all expenses incurred. After approval by the Commission and, in the case of a court-appointed trustee, by the court, of the account of the trustee, including fees for his or her services, all remaining monies shall be paid at the direction of the Respondents, and the trustee's power shall be terminated. The trustee's compensation shall be based at least in significant part on a commission arrangement contingent on the trustee's divesting the Assets To Be Divested.
 
8. Respondents shall indemnify the trustee and hold the trustee harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses arising out of, or in connection with, the performance of the trustee's duties, including all reasonable fees of counsel and other expenses incurred in connection with the preparation for, or defense of any claim, whether or not resulting in any liability, except to the extent that such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, or expenses result from misfeasance, gross negligence, willful or wanton acts, or bad faith by the trustee.
 
9. If the trustee ceases to act or fails to act diligently, a substitute trustee shall be appointed in the same manner as provided in Paragraph X.A. of this Order.
 
10. The Commission or, in the case of a court-appointed trustee, the court, may on its own initiative or at the request of the trustee issue such additional orders or directions as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the divestitures required by this Order.
