Commercial Agreements
The Partnership has various agreements with Delek, the majority of which are long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with Delek under which we provide crude oil gathering, crude oil and intermediate and refined products transportation and storage services, and marketing and terminalling services to Delek. Each of these agreements includes minimum quarterly volume or throughput commitments and has tariffs or fees indexed to inflation, provided that the tariffs or fees will not be decreased below the initial amount. Fees under each agreement are payable to us monthly by Delek or certain third parties to whom Delek has assigned certain of its rights. In most circumstances, if Delek or the applicable third party assignee fails to meet or exceed the minimum volume or throughput commitment during any calendar quarter, Delek, and not any third party assignee, will be required to make a quarterly shortfall payment to us equal to the volume of the shortfall multiplied by the applicable fee.
The tariffs, throughput fees and the storage fees under our agreements with Delek are subject to increase or decrease annually, by the amount of any change in various inflation-based indices, including the FERC oil pipeline index, the consumer price index and the producer price index; provided, however, that in no event will the fees be adjusted below the amount initially set forth in the applicable agreement.
See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of certain of our commercial agreements and other agreements with Delek. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we entered into the following material commercial agreements with Delek:

The El Dorado Assets Throughput Agreement provides for an obligated quarterly minimum throughput fee of $1.5 million for throughput of a combination of light and heavy crude.
El Dorado Assets Throughput Agreement. On March 31, 2015, in connection with the El Dorado Offloading Racks Acquisition, we and Delek entered into the Throughput Agreement (El Dorado Rail Offloading Facility) (the "Throughput Agreement") with respect to the El Dorado Assets. Under the Throughput Agreement, we will provide Delek with rail offloading services in return for throughput fees. The fees under the Throughput Agreement are indexed annually for inflation. The initial term of the Throughput Agreement is nine years and Delek, at its sole option, may extend the term for two renewal terms of three years each.
Omnibus Agreement. The Partnership entered into an omnibus agreement with Delek, our general partner, OpCo, Lion Oil Company and certain of the Partnership’s and Delek’s other subsidiaries on November 7, 2012, which was subsequently amended and restated on July 26, 2013 and February 26, 2014 in connection with our subsequent acquisitions from Delek (collectively, the "Omnibus Agreement"). The Omnibus Agreement was amended and restated again on March 31, 2015 in connection with the El Dorado Offloading Racks Acquisition and the Tyler Crude Tank Acquisition (the "Third Restated Omnibus Agreement"). The Third Restated Omnibus Agreement includes, among other things: (i) revisions of the schedules to include the El Dorado Assets and the Tyler Assets, (ii) revisions of certain provisions and schedules with respect to certain environmental matters, (iii) the addition of DKL Transportation, LLC as a party to the agreement, (iv) the elimination of certain provisions under the Omnibus Agreement that had expired, and (v) updating the annual administrative fee payable by us to Delek for general corporate and administrative services that Delek and its affiliates provide to us to reflect the inflationary increase provided under the Omnibus Agreement, from $3.3 million to $3.4 million, which is prorated and payable monthly.
Under the Third Restated Omnibus Agreement, Delek reimburses us for, among other things, (i) certain expenses that we incur for inspections, maintenance and repairs to certain assets we acquired from Delek to cause such assets to comply with applicable regulatory and/or industry standards, (ii) certain expenses that we incur for inspections, maintenance and repairs to most of the storage tanks contributed to us by Delek (subject to a deductible of $0.5 million per year) that are necessary to comply with the DOT pipeline integrity rules and certain American Petroleum Institute storage tank standards for a period of five years, and (iii) certain non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures with respect to certain of our assets in excess of specified amounts, all as disclosed in the full agreement filed as Exhibit 10.3 to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 6, 2015.
Predecessors' Transactions
Related-party transactions of the Predecessors were settled through division equity. Revenues from affiliates consist of revenues from gathering, pipeline transportation, storage, wholesale marketing and products terminalling services to Delek and its affiliates based on regulated tariff rates or contractually based fees.
Costs related specifically to us have been identified and included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Prior to the formation of the Partnership, the El Dorado Acquisition, the El Dorado Offloading Racks Acquisition and the Tyler Crude Tank Acquisition, we were not allocating certain corporate costs. These costs were primarily allocated based on a percentage of salaries expense and property, plant and equipment costs. In the opinion of management, the methods for allocating these costs are reasonable. It is not practicable to estimate the costs that would have been incurred by us if we had been operated on a stand-alone basis.
Summary of Transactions
A summary of revenue and expense transactions with Delek, including expenses directly charged and allocated to our Predecessors, are as follows (in thousands):
