A purchase obligation is an enforceable and legally binding agreement to purchase goods or services that
specifies significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable
price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Sunoco’s principal purchase obligations in the
ordinary course of business consist of: crude oil, other feedstocks and refined products and transportation and
distribution services, including pipeline and terminal throughput and railroad services. Approximately one-third
of the contractual obligations to purchase crude oil, other feedstocks and refined products reflected in the above
table for 2010 relates to spot-market purchases to be satisfied within the first 60-90 days of the year. Sunoco also
has contractual obligations supporting financing arrangements of third parties, contracts to acquire or construct
properties, plants and equipment, and other contractual obligations, primarily related to services and materials,
including commitments to purchase supplies and various other maintenance, systems and communications
services. Most of Sunoco’s purchase obligations are based on market prices or formulas based on market prices.
These purchase obligations generally include fixed or minimum volume requirements. The purchase obligation
amounts in the table above are based on the minimum quantities to be purchased at estimated prices to be paid
based on current market conditions. Accordingly, the actual amounts may vary significantly from the estimates
included in the table.
Sunoco also has obligations pertaining to unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties
amounting to $31 million, which have been excluded from the table above as the Company does not believe it is
practicable to make reliable estimates of the periods in which payments for these obligations will be made (see
Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8). In addition, Sunoco has obligations with respect
to its defined benefit pension plans and postretirement health care plans, which have also been excluded from the
table above (see “Retirement Benefit Plans” below and Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements under
Item 8).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements—Other than the leasing arrangements described in Note 14 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements (Item 8), the Company has not entered into any transactions, agreements or
other contractual arrangements that would result in off-balance sheet liabilities.
