Certain terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), dated as of even date herewith, by and among the Partnership, certain subsidiaries of the Partnership, Calumet GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner,” and together with the Partnership, the “Calumet Parties”), and the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the Partnership’s proposed sale of an aggregate 5,699,900 common units (the “Underwritten Units”), to the Underwriters.

     This is to confirm the agreement among the Calumet Parties and the Fehsenfeld Investors concerning the purchase of the Fehsenfeld Units from the Partnership by the Fehsenfeld Investors.

     1. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Calumet Parties. The Calumet Parties, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to, and agree with, each of the Fehsenfeld Investors that:

     (a) Registration. A registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-128880) (the “Initial Registration Statement”) in respect of the Units has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”); the Initial Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, each in the form heretofore delivered to you, and, excluding exhibits thereto, have been declared effective by the Commission in such form; other than a registration statement, if any, increasing the size of the offering (a “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement”), filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), which became effective upon filing, no other document with respect to the Initial Registration Statement has heretofore been filed with the Commission; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment thereto or the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, if any, has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the Commission (any preliminary prospectus included in the Initial Registration Statement or filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act is hereinafter called a “Preliminary Prospectus”; the various parts of the Initial Registration Statement and the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, if any, including all exhibits thereto and including the information contained in the form of final prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof and deemed by virtue of Rule 430A under the Act to be part of the Initial Registration Statement at the time it was declared effective, each as amended at the time such part of the Initial Registration Statement became effective or such part of the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, if any, became or hereafter becomes effective, are hereinafter collectively called the “Registration Statement”; the Preliminary Prospectus dated January 13, 2006 relating to the Units that was included in the Registration Statement immediately prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below) is hereinafter called the “Pricing Prospectus”; the final prospectus, in the form first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, is hereinafter called the “Prospectus”; and any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433 under the Act relating to the Units is hereinafter called an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Applicable Time” means 5:40 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of this Agreement.

     (b) No Stop Order. No order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the Commission.

     (c) No Material Misstatements or Omissions in Registration Statement or Prospectus. The Registration Statement conforms, and any further amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement will, when they become effective, conform, in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and do not and will not, as of the applicable effective date, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus and any supplement or amendment thereto will conform when filed with the Commission under Rule 424(b), in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which

they were made, not misleading.

     (d) No Material Misstatements or Omissions in Pricing Disclosure Package. The Pricing Prospectus, as supplemented by those Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses and other documents, if any, listed in Schedule II(a) hereto, taken together (collectively, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”), as of the Applicable Time, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed in Schedule II(a) or Schedule II(b) hereto does not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus and each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as supplemented by and taken together with the Pricing Disclosure Package as of the Applicable Time, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of the statements made by the Partnership in the Pricing Prospectus, and to be made in the Prospectus and any further amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus within the coverage of Rule 175(b) of the rules and regulations under the Act, including (but not limited to) any projections of results of operations or statements with respect to future available cash or future cash distributions of the Partnership or the anticipated ratio of taxable income to distributions, was made or will be made with a reasonable basis and in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representation and warranty in this Section 1(d) shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Pricing Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Partnership by an Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs & Co. expressly for use therein.

Each of the Calumet Parties is duly registered or qualified as a foreign limited partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, for the transaction of business under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the character of the business conducted by it or the nature or location of the properties owned or leased by it makes such registration or qualification necessary, except where the failure so to register or qualify would not (i) have a material adverse effect on the general affairs, management, the current or future consolidated financial position, business prospects, partners’ equity, members’ equity or results of

operations of the Partnership Entities taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”), or (ii) subject the limited partners of the Partnership to any material liability or disability.
