Davison, an individual ("James Davison"), Steven K. Davison, an individual ("Steve Davison"), Todd A.

1.            Grifco Transportation, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership ("Grifco"), and certain of its affiliates, collectively, have developed a private barge transportation business, which they desire to sell.

2.            Parent has developed a substantial public business that operates primarily in the hydrocarbon transportation, refinery services, industrial gases, and supply and logistics services (relating primarily to hydrocarbons and related by-products) sectors.

3.            Affiliates of TD Marine have substantial and diversified business interests, including some relating to the energy sector.

4.            Parent and TD Marine believe the business of Grifco and its affiliates and the businesses and interests of Parent, TD Marine and their affiliates are complementary and the value of the business of Grifco and its affiliates could be enhanced by continuing to grow it and by associating it with such other businesses and interests.

5.            To achieve such an association and the related benefits, Parent and TD Marine desire to invest in such business through a jointly owned company that will acquire such business from Grifco and its affiliates.

6.            Consequently, directly and/or through affiliates, Grifco, Parent and TD Marine entered into an arrangement pursuant to which Parent and TD Marine, effectively, will form a jointly owned company—comprised of three entities—that will acquire, own and operate the business of Grifco and its affiliates, with TD Marine owning an aggregate 51% economic interest in the jointly owned company and controlling it, and Parent owning an aggregate 49% economic interest in the jointly owned company.

7.            Pursuant to (x) that certain Contribution and Sale Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the "Contribution Agreement"), by and among Parent, Genesis Marine and Grifco and certain of its affiliates and (y) this Agreement, the following, among other things, will occur:

i.

Grifco will form DG JV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("DG JV"), which initially will be wholly-owned by Grifco and its affiliates;

ii.

Grifco will cause DG JV to form DG Marine Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Marine Holdings"), which initially will be owned 75.00% by DG JV and 25.00% by Grifco;

iii.

Grifco will cause Marine Holdings to form DG Marine Transportation, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Marine Transportation"), which initially will be owned 52.50% by Marine Holdings and 47.50% by Grifco;

iv.

Grifco and certain of its affiliates will transfer all or substantially all of their operating assets to Marine Transportation; and

b.

concurrent with such closing,

i.

Grifco and its affiliates will sell, transfer and convey 90.67% of the membership interests in DG JV to TD Marine in exchange for $25,500,000 in cash;

ii.

Grifco will contribute the following interests (the "Genesis Transferred Interests") to Parent in exchange for $24,500,000, comprised of $7,833,333 in cash and $16,666,667 in the form of a specified number of Parent's newly issued common units (the "Grifco Units"), valued at a price per unit equal to the five day trading average of such units ending with the second day following the closing:

(x)            9.33% of all the membership interests in DG JV;

(y)           25.00% of all the membership interest in Marine Holdings; and

(z)           17.50% of all the membership interest in Marine Transportation (with the balance of such membership interest being owned by Grifco (30.00%) and Marine Holdings (52.50%));

iii.

Parent will contribute the Genesis Transferred Interests to Genesis OLP, which will then contribute such Genesis Transferred Interests to Genesis Marine;

iv.

Marine Transportation redeemed all of its membership interest held by Grifco (30.00%), resulting in Marine Transportation being owned 75.00% by Marine Holdings and 25.00% by Genesis Marine;

v.

TD Marine, Grifco, Genesis Marine and certain of their affiliates will execute the limited liability company agreement of DG JV (the "DG JV LLC Agreement") to acknowledge their rights and obligations as members of DG JV and to allow Grifco, Parent and Genesis OLP to transfer their interests in DG JV as contemplated by that agreement and to release such transferring parties from any and all obligations under that agreement, resulting in TD Marine and Genesis Marine being the sole remaining members of DG JV and the only parties with any rights or obligations under that agreement.  Upon the execution of the DG JV LLC Agreement, the 90.67% membership interest in DG JV owned by  TD Marine will constitute Class A Membership Interests and the 9.33% membership interest in DG JV owned by Genesis Marine will constitute Class B Membership Interests under the DG JV LLC Agreement; and

vi.

Grifco, Parent, Genesis Marine and certain of their affiliates will execute the limited liability company agreement of each of Marine Holdings and Marine Transportation to acknowledge their rights and obligations as members of Marine Holdings and Marine Transportation and to allow Grifco, Parent and Genesis OLP to transfer their interests in Marine Holdings and Marine Transportation as contemplated by those agreements and to release such transferring parties from any and all obligations under that agreement, resulting in DG JV and Genesis Marine being the sole remaining members of Marine Holdings and the only parties with any rights or obligations under that agreement, and resulting in Marine Holdings and Genesis Marine being the sole remaining members of Marine Transportation and the only parties with any rights or obligations under that agreement.

8.            Parent will redeem from TD Marine (or one or more of its Affiliates) a number of Parent common units (the "Davison Units") equal to the number of the Grifco Units for $16,666,667.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER WILL APPLY TO ANY AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING HERETO. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO TRIAL BY A COURT.

Section 8.8           Amendments and Waivers.  No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Party.  A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same.  Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any other Person, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

Section 8.9           Severability.  Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.10         Construction.  The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.  Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.  The word "including" shall mean including without limitation. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, shall include all other genders; the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa. All references herein to Exhibits, Schedules, Articles, Sections or subdivisions thereof shall refer to the corresponding Exhibits, Schedules, Article, Section or subdivision thereof of this Agreement unless specific reference is made to such exhibits, articles, sections or subdivisions of another document or instrument. The terms "herein," "hereby," "hereunder," "hereof," "hereinafter," and other equivalent words refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not solely to the particular portion of the Agreement in which such word is used.  The words "shall" and "will" are used interchangeably throughout this Agreement and shall accordingly be given the same means, regardless of which word is used.  Except to the extent expressly provided to the contrary, references to a Party include its permitted successors and assigns.  Each certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed a part hereof, and any representation, warranty or covenant herein referenced or affirmed in such certificate shall be treated as a representation, warranty or covenant given in the correlated Section hereof on the date of such certificate.  Additionally, any representation, warranty or covenant made in any such certificate shall be deemed to be made herein.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time.

Section 8.11       Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN) CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF ITS SUBJECT MATTER AND SUPERSEDES ALL PRIOR UNDERSTANDINGS, AGREEMENTS, OR REPRESENTATIONS BY OR AMONG THE PARTIES, WRITTEN OR ORAL.

Section 8.12         Specific Performance.  Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached.  Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and its terms and provisions in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at Law or in equity.

Section 8.13         Non-Recourse to General Partner.  Neither Parent's general partner nor any other owner of equity interests in the Genesis Parties shall be liable for the obligations of the Genesis Parties under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements, including, in each case, by reason of any payment obligation imposed by governing state partnership statutes.

Section 8.14         Joint and Several Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the covenants, agreements and obligations of, and the representations made by or attributable to each Davison Party or Genesis Party pursuant to this Agreement, including obligations to make indemnity payments, will be deemed to be made by and attributable to all Davison Parties or Genesis Parties, as the case may be, jointly and severally, and any Genesis Party or Davison Party, as the case may be, will have the right to pursue remedies against such Persons without any obligation to give notice to or pursue remedies against any other Person; provided, however, that James Davison's, Steve Davison's and Todd Davison's aggregate obligations under this Agreement shall not exceed $25,500,000.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed in counterparts.
