Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under the Company Agreement of SunocoCorp (the “SunocoCorp LLCA”), in most circumstances SunocoCorp will indemnify the following persons (the “Indemnitees”), to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, settlements, penalties, expenses and other amounts arising out of any claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which they are or are threatened to be involved by reason of their status as an Indemnitee and acting or refraining from acting in such capacity:

 

•

SunocoCorp Manager;

 

•

any departing manager;

 

•

any person who is or was an affiliate of the SunocoCorp Manager or any departing manager;

 

•

any person who is or was a manager, managing member, general partner, director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of SunocoCorp or its subsidiaries, any manager of SunocoCorp, any departing manager or any of their respective affiliates;

 

•

any person who is or was serving at the request of the SunocoCorp Manager, any departing manager or any of their respective affiliates as an officer, director, manager, managing member, general partner, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of any other person that owes a fiduciary duty to SunocoCorp or its subsidiaries;

 

•

any person who controls the SunocoCorp Manager or any departing manager; and

 

•

any person designated by the SunocoCorp Manager as an Indemnitee.

Indemnification will not be available to Indemnitees if a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final and non-appealable judgment determining that the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. In addition, SunocoCorp will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, advance the expenses of any Indemnitees, subject to receipt of an undertaking of the Indemnitee to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

Any indemnification under the SunocoCorp LLCA will only be out of SunocoCorp’s assets. Unless the SunocoCorp Manager otherwise agrees, in its sole discretion, the SunocoCorp Manager will not be personally liable for, or have any obligation to contribute or loan funds or assets to SunocoCorp to enable it to effectuate, such indemnification. SunocoCorp may purchase insurance against liabilities asserted against and expenses incurred by persons for its activities, regardless of whether SunocoCorp would have the power to indemnify the person against liabilities under the SunocoCorp LLCA.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

(a)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

 

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(5)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Dallas, State of Texas, on July 16, 2026.
