Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

In connection with previous demands for indemnification by Razorback L.L.C. (“Razorback”) received by Rio Vista Operating Partnership L.P. (“RVOP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Central Energy Partners LP (“Registrant”), under the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated December 26, 2007 (“Purchase and Sale Agreement”) between RVOP and Razorback, RVOP and certain of its affiliated parties (“Seller Affiliates”) and Razorback and certain of its affiliated parties (“Buyer Affiliates”) executed a Compromise Settlement Agreement and General Release (“Settlement Agreement”) effective as of October 14, 2013. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, not later than 60 days after the execution of the Settlement Agreement, RVOP or Seller’s Affiliates will pay the amount of $125,000 to Razorback in full satisfaction of all claims asserted by Razorback or Buyer Affiliates against RVOP or Seller Affiliates as of the date of the Settlement Agreement or any future claims that may be asserted by Razorback or any of the Buyer Affiliates against RVOP or any of the Seller’s Affiliates other than the claim asserted against Razorback by Cardenas Development Co. (the “Cardenas Claim”). Rio Vista remains responsible for any Losses (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) resulting from the Cardenas Claim in an amount not to exceed $50,000 (the “Contingent Payment”). In connection with the Settlement Agreement, each of the parties released each other from any other future claims that may arise as a result of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (except for the Contingent Payment).

 

As reported in the Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period June 30, 2013, RVOP had accrued a reserve of approximately $283,000 for potential future obligations in connection with the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
