USPPI (US Principal Party of Interest)/ FPPI (Foreign Principal Party of Interest) Export Filings
When Phillips 66 Company (P66) sells a commodity for export from the United States to a non-U.S. counterparty responsible for the movement of the commodity and pays associated freight charges, the non-U.S. counterparty is the Foreign Principal Party in Interest (FPPI), and P66 is the U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI). The FPPI authorizes P66 to prepare and file with the U.S. government the required export documentation where applicable, including the Electronic Export Information (EEI). The FPPI confirms that this written authorization does not authorize Phillips 66 to determine export licensing requirements as defined in 15 CFR 758.3(b) for export transactions facilitated on your behalf.
The FPPI is responsible for the accuracy of the information associated with the sale that is required to be provided to P66 for the EEI filing. If the FPPI authorizes a U.S. agent other than P66 to submit EEI filings, counterparty’s agent is responsible for EEI filings and any other required export documentation with the U.S. government. In these cases, the FPPI must provide P66 with the authorized agent’s contact information so that P66 may provide the agent with all P66-required EEI information.
When P66 sells a commodity for export from the U.S. to a U.S. counterparty, and the U.S. counterparty is responsible for the movement of the commodity and pays associated freight costs, the U.S. counterparty is the USPPI responsible for preparing and filing an EEI and any other required documentation with the U.S. Government.
When P66 sells a commodity for export from the U.S. to a U.S. counterparty and P66 is responsible for the movement of the commodity and pays associated freight costs, P66 is the USPPI responsible for preparing and filing an EEI and any other required documentation with the U.S. Government.
The Parties agree that all U.S. exports must be in accordance with the U.S. Export Administration Regulations. Diversions or transshipments contrary to U.S. law are prohibited. Counterparty is responsible for all compliance requirements related to importation into the destination country.

Market Disruption
4/1/2018 – Present
If the price of the product specified in a transaction confirmation is based upon a specified index and there is a Market Disruption Event, as defined below, each party has the right to notify the other in writing of such. Thereafter, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a replacement price or on a method for determining a replacement price for the affected time period. If with respect to Market Disruption Event described in clause (a) and temporary Market Disruption Events described in clauses (c) and (d), the parties have not so agreed on or before the second business day following the affected day, then the replacement price shall be determined within the next two following business days with each party obtaining, in good faith and from non- affiliated market participants in the relevant market, up to two quotes for prices of the product for the affected day of a similar quality and quantity in the geographical location closest in proximity to the delivery location and averaging the quotes received. If either party fails to provide up to two quotes, then the simple average of all quotes obtained shall determine the replacement price for the affected index price.
For all other Market Disruption Events, if the parties have not so agreed to a replacement index on or before thirty days following the business day on which the initial written notice was provided, either party has the right to submit the issue to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for resolution regardless of the method for dispute resolution specified herein. The arbitration will be held in Houston, TX or such other location as the parties may agree. The matter will be determined by one arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) pursuant to the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect as of the date the affected transaction was entered into. The resulting decision of the Arbitrator shall be the final, binding, and non-appealable and the exclusive remedy between the parties regarding this issue. If the parties fail to appoint the Arbitrator within fifteen days after the AAA receives the notice of arbitration (the “Arbitration Commencement Date”), each party shall submit to the AAA a list containing the names of three persons to serve as the Arbitrator, and the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator from the submitted names within forty-five days after the Arbitration Commencement Date, or if no names are submitted, the AAA shall appoint the Arbitrator it deems appropriate. Within sixty days after the Arbitration Commencement Date, each party shall submit to the Arbitrator in writing its proposed resolution to such dispute and any relevant information. Within ninety days after the Arbitration Commencement Date, the Arbitrator shall select the resolution proposed by one of the parties. If only one party submits a proposed resolution, the Arbitrator shall select that resolution as its decision.
A “Market Disruption Event” means, with respect to a specified index, any of the following events: (a) the failure of the index to announce or publish information necessary for determining the contract price; (b) the failure of trading to commence or the permanent discontinuation or material suspension of trading on the exchange or market acting as the index; (c) the temporary or permanent discontinuance or unavailability of the index; (d) the temporary or permanent closing of any exchange acting as the index; (e) a material change in the formula for or the method of determining the index has occurred; or (f) either party believes in good faith that the index is no longer representative of the market price for such product.
