Ladies and Gentlemen:

Introductory. Genesis Energy, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and Genesis Energy Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finance Corp.” and, together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”), propose to issue and sell to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) and the other several Initial Purchasers named in Schedule A (the “Initial Purchasers”), acting severally and not jointly, the respective amounts set forth in such Schedule A of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Partnership’s 5.750% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”). Wells Fargo has agreed to act as the representative of the several Initial Purchasers (the “Representative”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes.

The Securities (as defined below) will be issued pursuant to an indenture, to be dated as of February 8, 2013 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors (as defined below) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes will be issued initially only in global form in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) pursuant to a letter of representations dated November 17, 2010 (the “DTC Agreement”) from the Issuers to the Depositary.

The holders of the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement, to be dated as of February 8, 2013 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which the Issuers and the Guarantors will be required to file with the Commission (as defined below), under the circumstances set forth therein, (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act (as defined below) relating to another series of debt securities of the Issuers with terms substantially identical to the Notes (the “Exchange Notes”) to be offered in exchange for the Notes (the “Exchange Offer”) and (ii) to the extent required by the Registration Rights Agreement, a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act relating to the resale by certain holders of the Notes, and in

each case, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statements to be declared effective. All references herein to the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Offer are only applicable if the Issuers and the Guarantors are in fact required to consummate the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

The payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally by (i) the entities listed on the signature pages hereof as “Guarantors” and (ii) any Subsidiary (as defined below) of the Partnership formed or acquired after the Closing Date that executes a supplemental indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Guarantors”), pursuant to their guarantees (the “Guarantees”). The Notes and the Guarantees related thereto are herein collectively referred to as the “Securities”; and the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees related thereto are herein collectively referred to as the “Exchange Securities.”

This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the DTC Agreement, the Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Indenture are referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.”

The Issuers understand that the Initial Purchasers propose to make an offering of the Securities on the terms and in the manner set forth herein and in the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below) and agree that the Initial Purchasers may resell, subject to the conditions set forth herein, all or a portion of the Securities to purchasers (the “Subsequent Purchasers”) on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package (the first time when sales of the Securities are made is referred to as the “Time of Sale”). The Securities are to be offered and sold to or through the Initial Purchasers without being registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder), in reliance upon exemptions therefrom. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, investors who acquire Securities shall be deemed to have agreed that Securities may only be resold or otherwise transferred, after the date hereof, if such Securities are registered for sale under the Securities Act or if an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available (including the exemptions afforded by Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) or Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)).

The Issuers have prepared and delivered to each Initial Purchaser copies of a Preliminary Offering Memorandum, dated February 5, 2013 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), and have prepared and delivered to each Initial Purchaser copies of a Pricing Supplement, dated February 5, 2013 (the “Pricing Supplement”), describing the terms of the Securities, each for use by such Initial Purchaser in connection with its solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities. The Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Pricing Supplement are herein referred to as the “Pricing Disclosure Package.” Promptly after this Agreement is executed and delivered, the Issuers will prepare and deliver to each Initial Purchaser a final offering memorandum dated the date hereof (the “Final Offering Memorandum”).

All references herein to the terms “Pricing Disclosure Package” and “Final Offering Memorandum” shall be deemed to mean and include all information filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder) prior to the Time of Sale and incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package (including the Preliminary Offering Memorandum) or the Final Offering Memorandum (as the case may be), and all references herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Final Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to mean and include all information filed under the Exchange Act after the Time of Sale and incorporated by reference in the Final Offering Memorandum.

be able (i) to renew their existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted, except where such non-renewal or inability to obtain comparable coverage would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(cc) Compliance with and Liability Under Environmental Laws. The Issuers and the Guarantors and their respective properties, assets and operations are in compliance with, and each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hold all permits, authorizations and approvals required under, Environmental Laws (as defined below), except to the extent that failure to so comply or to hold such permits, authorizations or approvals would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; there are no past, present or, to the Issuers’ knowledge, reasonably anticipated future events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, actions, omissions or plans that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material costs or liabilities to any of the Issuers or the Guarantors under, or to interfere with or prevent compliance by any of the Issuers or the Guarantors with, Environmental Laws; except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, none of the Partnership, Finance Corp. or any of the Guarantors (i) is the subject of any investigation, (ii) has received any notice or claim, (iii) is a party to or affected by any pending or, to the Issuers’ knowledge, threatened action, suit or proceeding, (iv) is bound by any judgment, decree or order or (v) has entered into any agreement, in each case relating to any alleged violation of any Environmental Law or any actual or alleged release or threatened release or cleanup at any location of any Hazardous Materials (as defined below) except as described in the Offering Memorandum or that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect (as used herein, “Environmental Law” means any federal, state, local or foreign law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, decree, judgment, injunction, permit, license, authorization or other binding requirement, or common law, relating to health, safety or the protection, cleanup or restoration of the environment or natural resources, including those relating to the distribution, processing, generation, treatment, storage, disposal, transportation, other handling or release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials, and “Hazardous Materials” means any material (including, without limitation, pollutants, contaminants, hazardous or toxic substances or wastes) that is regulated by or may give rise to liability under any Environmental Law).

(dd) ERISA Compliance. The Issuers and the Guarantors and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (as amended, “ERISA,” which term, as used herein, includes the regulations and published interpretations thereunder) established or maintained by the Issuers, the Guarantors or their ERISA Affiliates (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA and, to the knowledge of the Issuers, each “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001 of ERISA) to which the Issuers, the Guarantors or an ERISA Affiliate contributes (a “Multiemployer Plan”) is in compliance in all material respects with ERISA, except in each case as such noncompliance as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to either of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors, any member of any group of organizations described in Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code of which either of the Issuers or such Guarantor is a member.

Each “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by either of the Issuers, any of the Guarantors or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401 of the Code is so qualified and, to the knowledge of the Issuers, nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualification.

Neither of the Issuers nor any of their Subsidiaries nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf of, either of the Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity, (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds, (iii) violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder or (iv) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.

(hh) No Conflict with OFAC Laws. None of the Issuers, any of their Subsidiaries or Cameron nor, to the knowledge of the Issuers, any director, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate or person acting on behalf of the Issuers, their Subsidiaries or Cameron is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”).

(ii) Regulation S. The Issuers, the Guarantors and their respective Affiliates and all persons acting on their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Issuers and the Guarantors make no representation) have complied with and will comply with the offering restriction requirements of Regulation S in connection with the offering of the Securities outside the United States and, in connection therewith, the Offering Memorandum will contain the disclosure required by Rule 902. The Securities sold in reliance on Regulation S will be represented upon issuance by a temporary global security that may not be exchanged for definitive securities until the expiration of the 40-day restricted period referred to in Rule 903 of the Securities Act and only upon certification of beneficial ownership of such Securities by non-U.S. persons or U.S. persons who purchased such Securities in transactions that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

event not later than the second business day following the date hereof, the Issuers will prepare and deliver to the Initial Purchasers the Final Offering Memorandum, which shall consist of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum as modified only by the information contained in the Pricing Supplement unless otherwise consented to by the Representative. The Issuers will not amend or supplement the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Pricing Supplement unless the Representative shall previously have been furnished a copy of the proposed amendment or supplement and shall not have reasonably objected in writing to such amendment or supplement (unless the Issuers are advised by counsel that they are required by law to so amend or supplement the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or Pricing Supplement). The Issuers will not amend or supplement the Final Offering Memorandum prior to the Closing Date unless the Representative shall previously have been furnished a copy of the proposed amendment or supplement and shall not have reasonably objected in writing to such amendment or supplement (unless the Issuers are advised by counsel that they are required by law to so amend or supplement the Final Offering Memorandum).

If, prior to the completion of the placement of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers with the Subsequent Purchasers, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Final Offering Memorandum, as then amended or supplemented, in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Final Offering Memorandum is delivered to a Subsequent Purchaser, not misleading, or if in the judgment of the Representative or counsel for the Initial Purchasers it is otherwise necessary to amend or supplement the Final Offering Memorandum to comply with law, the Issuers and the Guarantors agree to promptly prepare (subject to Section 3 hereof), file with the Commission (with respect to Incorporated Documents) and furnish at their own expense to the Initial Purchasers, amendments or supplements to the Final Offering

The Issuers agree that they will not and will cause their Affiliates not to make any offer or sale of securities of the Issuers of any class if, as a result of the doctrine of “integration” referred to in Rule 502 under the Securities Act, such offer or sale would render invalid (for the purpose of (i) the sale of the Securities by the Partnership to the Initial Purchasers, (ii) the resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers to Subsequent Purchasers or (iii) the resale of the Securities by such Subsequent Purchasers to others) the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof or by Rule 144A or by Regulation S thereunder or otherwise.

(i) there has been no change or any development involving a prospective change in the business, properties, management, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Partnership, Finance Corp. and the Guarantors, taken as a whole, the effect of which change or development is, in the sole judgment of the Representative, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the placement of the Securities with the Subsequent Purchasers on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum; and

(ii) there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded the Partnership, Finance Corp. or any of the Guarantors or any of their respective securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436 under the Securities Act.

(c) Opinion of Counsel for the Issuers. On the Closing Date the Initial Purchasers shall have received the favorable opinions of each of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, counsel for the Issuers, Liskow & Lewis, counsel for the Partnership, and the General Counsel of the Partnership addressed to the Initial Purchasers, and dated as of such Closing Date, and in substantially the form and substance as set forth in Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2, and Exhibit A-3 hereto, respectively, and as otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Andrews Kurth LLP, counsel for the Initial Purchasers.

(i) for the period from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date there has not occurred any Material Adverse Effect;

(ii) the representations, warranties and covenants of the Issuers and the Guarantors set forth in Section 1 hereof were true and correct as of the Time of Sale and are true and correct as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as though expressly made on and as of the Closing Date; and

(iii) the Issuers and Guarantors have complied in all material respects with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date.

(f) Indenture; Registration Rights Agreement. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered the Indenture, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, and the Initial Purchasers shall have received executed copies thereof. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered the Registration Rights Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, and the Initial Purchasers shall have received such executed counterparts.

(g) Additional Documents. On or before the Closing Date, the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall have received such information, documents and opinions as they may reasonably require for the purposes of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated herein, or in order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties, or the satisfaction of any of the conditions or agreements, herein contained.

If any condition specified in this Section 5 is not satisfied when and as required to be satisfied, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representative by notice to the Partnership at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, which termination shall be without liability on the part of any party to any other party, except that Sections 4, 6, 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

SECTION 6. Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers’ Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated by the Representative pursuant to Section 5 or 10 hereof, including if the sale to the Initial Purchasers of the Securities on the Closing Date is not consummated because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Issuers to perform any agreement herein or to comply with any provision hereof, each of the Issuers agrees to reimburse the Initial Purchasers, severally, upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses that shall have been reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with the proposed purchase and the offering and sale of the Securities, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, printing expenses, travel expenses, postage, facsimile and telephone charges.

SECTION 7. Offer, Sale and Resale Procedures. Each of the Initial Purchasers, on the one hand, and each of the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the other hand, hereby agree to observe the following procedures in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities:

(a) Offers and sales of the Securities to Subsequent Purchasers will be made only by the Initial Purchasers or Affiliates thereof qualified to do so in the jurisdictions in which such offers or sales are made. Each such offer or sale to Subsequent Purchasers shall only be made to persons whom the offeror or seller reasonably believes to be Qualified Institutional Buyers or non-U.S. persons outside the United States to whom the offeror or seller reasonably believes offers and sales of the Securities may be made in reliance upon Regulation S upon the terms and conditions set forth in Annex I hereto, which Annex I is hereby expressly made a part hereof.

(b) The Securities will be offered by approaching prospective Subsequent Purchasers on an individual basis. No general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act) will be used in the United States in connection with the offering of the Securities.

(c) Upon original issuance by the Issuers, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, other than the Exchange Securities) shall bear the following legend:

“THE NOTES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER SUCH NOTES NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF (1) REPRESENTS THAT (A) IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) OR (B) IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING SUCH NOTE IN AN “OFFSHORE TRANSACTION” PURSUANT TO RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT, PRIOR TO THE DATE WHICH IS ONE YEAR AFTER THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF (OR OF ANY PREDECESSOR OF SUCH NOTE) OR THE LAST DAY ON WHICH THE COMPANY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY WERE THE OWNERS OF SUCH NOTE (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF SUCH NOTE) (THE “RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE”), OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH NOTE EXCEPT (A) TO AN ISSUER OR ANY

SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) FOR SO LONG AS THE NOTES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (“RULE 144A”), TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (D) PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES TO NON-U.S. PERSONS THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (E) PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (F) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL GIVE TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM SUCH NOTE IS TRANSFERRED PRIOR TO THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND, SUBJECT TO THE ISSUERS’ AND THE TRUSTEE’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER (i) THAT IS (A) PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (2)(D) PRIOR TO THE END OF THE 40 DAY DISTRIBUTION COMPLIANCE PERIOD WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (2)(F) PRIOR TO THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM, AND (ii) IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES IN CLAUSES (i)(A) OR (B), TO REQUIRE THAT A CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER IN THE FORM APPEARING ON THIS NOTE IS COMPLETED AND DELIVERED BY THE TRANSFEROR TO THE TRUSTEE. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED AS TO ANY NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY UPON DELIVERY TO THE TRUSTEE BY THE COMPANY OR THE HOLDER THEREOF OF A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR THE REMOVAL HEREOF, IN ANY CASE AT ANY TIME AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS “OFFSHORE TRANSACTION,” “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.”

Following the sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers to Subsequent Purchasers pursuant to the terms hereof, the Initial Purchasers shall not be liable or responsible to the Issuers or the Guarantors for any losses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred by any of the Issuers or the Guarantors, including any losses, damages or liabilities under the Securities Act, arising from or relating to any resale or transfer of any Security.

SECTION 8. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Initial Purchaser, affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Partnership), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and to reimburse each Initial Purchaser and each such affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by Wells Fargo) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser or such affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Issuers or Guarantors may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Issuers and the Guarantors. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Issuers and Guarantors, each of their respective directors and each person, if any, who controls the each of the Issuers or any Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which each Issuer, any Guarantor or any such director or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Initial Purchaser), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering

Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or (ii) the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuers by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use therein; and to reimburse each Issuer, any Guarantor and each such director or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by each Issuer, any Guarantor or such director or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge that the only information that the Initial Purchasers through the Representative have furnished to the Partnership expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in the table in the first paragraph, the second sentence of the third paragraph, the second sentence of the fourth paragraph, the second sentence of the sixth, the first and fifth sentences of the seventh paragraph and the third and fourth sentences of the fourteenth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Initial Purchaser may otherwise have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that the indemnifying party may have to an indemnified party other than under this Section 8. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense

of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel (in each jurisdiction)), which shall be selected by Wells Fargo (in the case of counsel representing the Initial Purchasers or their related persons), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 8, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party’s entitlement to such reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

SECTION 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the

Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers and the total discount received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or any such inaccurate or alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or inaccuracy.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8 hereof for purposes of indemnification.

The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount received by such Initial Purchaser in connection with the Securities distributed by it. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 9, each director, officer and employee of an Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director of either of the Issuers or any Guarantor, and each person, if any, who controls either of the Issuers or any Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers and the Guarantors, as applicable.

SECTION 10. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representative by notice given to the Partnership if at any time: (i) trading or quotation in any of the Partnership’s securities shall have been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or by the NYSE, or trading in securities generally on either the Nasdaq Stock Market or the NYSE shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such quotation system or stock exchange by the Commission or FINRA; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal, New York or Delaware authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities involving the United States or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, if the effect of any such event specified in clauses (i) through (iii) is, in the sole judgment of the Representative, so material or adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the placement of the Securities with the Subsequent Purchasers on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum. Any termination pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of (i) either Issuer or any Guarantor to any Initial Purchaser, except that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 hereof, (ii) any Initial Purchaser to either of the Issuers or any Guarantor, or (iii) any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

SECTION 11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Issuers, the Guarantors, their respective officers and the several Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, either Issuer, any Guarantor or any of their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 16. Governing Law Provisions.

(a) THE VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) Consent to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction (except for suits, actions, or proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any Specified Court in a Related Proceeding, as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of the Specified Courts in any Related Proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Specified Proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any Specified Court that any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party not located in the United States irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System as its agent to receive service of process or other legal summons for purposes of any Related Proceeding that may be instituted in any Specified Court.

SECTION 17. Default of One or More of the Several Initial Purchasers. If any one or more of the several Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on the Closing Date, and the aggregate number of Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the number of Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Initial Purchasers with the consent of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on the Closing Date. If any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate number of Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and the Partnership for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 4, 6, 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Initial Purchasers or the Issuers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Final Offering Memorandum or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Initial Purchaser under this Section 17. Any action taken under this Section 17 shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

SECTION 18. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. Each of the Issuers and each of the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the several Initial Purchasers, on the other

hand, and the Issuers and the Guarantors are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Initial Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of any of the Issuers or the Guarantors or their respective Affiliates, equityholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Initial Purchaser has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Issuers and the Guarantors with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Issuers and the Guarantors on other matters) or any other obligation to the Issuers and the Guarantors except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Initial Purchasers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Issuers and the Guarantors, and the several Initial Purchasers have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any fiduciary or advisory relationship; and (v) the Initial Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby, and the Issuers and the Guarantors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Issuers, the Guarantors and the several Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

The Partnership has the partnership power and authority necessary to execute and deliver, incur and perform any obligations it may have under any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the Partnership Agreement. Finance Corp. has the corporate power and authority necessary to execute and deliver, incur and perform any obligations it may have under any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

As of the date hereof, the issued and outstanding limited partner interests of the Partnership consist of 81,162,755 Common Units—Class A (“Common Units”), 39,997 Common Units—Class B (“Class B Units”), and 1,738,233 Waiver Units—Class 3 and 1,738,233 Waiver Units—Class 4 (together, “Waiver Units”). All outstanding Common Units, Class B Units and Waiver Units and, in each case,

Exhibit A-1-1

the limited partner interests represented thereby have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, and are fully paid (to the extent required under the Partnership Agreement) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “Delaware LP Act”)).

The General Partner (i) is the sole general partner of the Partnership and owns (of record) a non-economic general partner interest in the Partnership, (ii) is the sole general partner of Genesis Crude Oil, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and owns (of record) a 0.01% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and (iii) owns a non-economic general partner interest in Genesis Pipeline USA, L.P.

Each such general partner interest, limited partner interest, limited liability company interest and other equity interest has been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the Constitutive Documents of the Partnership and each respective Significant Subsidiary, is fully paid (to the extent required under its respective Constitutive Documents) and non-assessable (except (x) with respect to those Significant Subsidiaries that are limited partnerships, as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware LP Act, (y) with respect to those Significant Subsidiaries that are Delaware limited liability companies, as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 18-607 and 18-804 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Delaware LLC Act”), or (z) with respect to Fuel Masters, as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 101.206 and 101.613 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “Texas BOC”)), and, in each case, is owned as specified in the two preceding sentences, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, charges or claims (i) in respect of which a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware or the State of Texas (with respect to equity interests owned by Fuel Masters) naming the General Partner, the Partnership or any Significant Subsidiary as a “debtor” was on file as of January , 2013 in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or as of January , 2013 in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas (with respect to equity interests owned by Fuel Masters) or (ii) otherwise known to such counsel, in the case of (i) and (ii), other than those (A) created under the Delaware LP Act, the Delaware LLC Act, the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) or the Texas BOC, (B) created in connection with the Partnership’s or the Significant Subsidiaries’ credit facilities constituting SEC Documents, (C) created by the Constitutive Documents of the Partnership Entities, or (D) as disclosed in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum.

Exhibit A-1-2

Except as described in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum or, in the case of transfer restrictions, options to purchase, other rights to subscribe or to purchase, voting restrictions and preemptive rights, created by the Constitutive Documents of any Partnership Entity, there are no options, warrants, preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of, any equity interests in any Partnership Entity pursuant to any Constitutive Document of any Partnership Entity or any other SEC Document, other than those restrictions upon the transfer of equity interests created in connection with the Partnership’s or the Significant Subsidiaries’ credit facilities constituting SEC Documents. The offering and sale of the Notes as contemplated in the Purchase Agreement does not give rise under any SEC Document (as listed on Exhibit C to such counsel’s opinion) to any preemptive right, right of first refusal or other similar right to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Partnership or Finance Corp.

The Partnership has all requisite partnership power and authority to issue, sell and deliver the Notes, in accordance with and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Partnership Agreement. Finance Corp. has all requisite corporate power and authority to issue, sell and deliver the Notes, in accordance with and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

(a) The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by each of the Covered Entities party thereto and the performance by each of the Covered Entities of its respective obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or entity action, as applicable, on the part of each of such Covered Entities.

(b) Each of the Transaction Documents (other than the Exchange Notes) has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Covered Entities that is a party to such Transaction Document.

The Partnership Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the General Partner and is a valid and legally binding agreement of the General Partner, enforceable against the General Partner in accordance with its terms.

None of the offering, issuance and sale by the Issuers of the Notes, the execution, delivery and performance by any of the Specified Entities of any of the Transaction Documents to which such Specified Entity is a party or the performance of the actions required to be taken by any of the Specified Entities pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents to which such Specified Entity is a party conflicts or will conflict with or constitute or will constitute a breach or violation of or a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default) under, or results or will result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, claim, encumbrance or other security interest upon any property or assets of any of the Partnership Entities (other than those created

Exhibit A-1-3

in connection with the Partnership’s or the Significant Subsidiaries’ credit facilities constituting SEC Documents) pursuant to, (i) any Constitutive Document of any of the Covered Entities, (ii) any SEC Document, (iii) the Included Laws (including Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or (iv) any order, judgment, decree or injunction of any court or governmental agency or body known to such counsel directed to any of the Partnership Entities or any of their properties in a proceeding to which any of them or their property is a party; provided, however, that no opinion is expressed pursuant to this paragraph with respect to federal securities laws and other anti-fraud laws.

No permit, consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, filing or qualification (“consent”) of or with any court or governmental agency or body under the Included Laws is required in connection with the offering, issuance and sale by the Issuers of the Notes, the execution, delivery and performance by any of the Specified Entities of any of the Transaction Documents to which such Specified Entity is a party or the performance of the actions required to be taken by any of the Specified Entities pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents to which such Specified Entity is a party, subject to the assumptions set forth in such counsel’s opinion, such assumptions to be in form and substance acceptable to the Initial Purchasers, and other than (i) such consents required under state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, (ii) such consents that have been obtained or made, (iii) filings with the Commission or other consents required in the performance by each of the Specified Entities of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and (iv) consents required under Federal and state securities laws as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.

10.

The statements set forth in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum under the captions “Description of Notes,” “Description of Certain Other Indebtedness” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they summarize any agreement, statute or regulation or refer to statements of law or legal conclusions, are accurate and fair summaries in all material respects. The Notes conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum under the caption “Description of Notes.”

11.

None of the Specified Entities is, either before or immediately after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Notes and the receipt of payment for the Notes on the date hereof as described in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum, required to be registered as an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

12.

The Indenture conforms in all material respects to the requirements of the TIA and the rules and regulations of the Commission applicable to an indenture which is qualified thereunder.

Exhibit A-1-4

13.

The Notes, when authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuers, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Issuers in accordance with their respective terms under the Laws of the State of New York. The Exchange Notes, when duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered as provided in the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuers, enforceable against the Issuers in accordance with their respective terms under the Laws of the State of New York.

14.

The Indenture (including, with respect to the Guarantors, when the Notes have been duly and validly authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and duly and validly paid for by and delivered to the Initial Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the guarantee of the Guarantors in respect of the Notes provided for in Article 10 of the Indenture) constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Guarantors, enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with its terms under the Laws of the State of New York.

15.

The Registration Rights Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of each of the Specified Entities, enforceable against the Specified Entities in accordance with its terms under the Laws of the State of New York.

16.

Assuming without independent investigation, (a) that the Notes are sold to the Initial Purchasers, and initially resold by the Initial Purchasers, in accordance with the terms of and in the manner contemplated by, the Purchase Agreement and the Final Offering Memorandum; (b) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Specified Entities set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the matters certified in those certain certificates delivered on the date hereof; (c) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (d) the due performance and compliance by the Specified Entities and the Initial Purchasers of their respective covenants and agreements set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and (e) the Initial Purchasers’ compliance with the Final Offering Memorandum and the transfer procedures and restrictions described therein, it is not necessary to register the Notes under the Securities Act or to qualify an indenture in respect thereof under the Trust Indenture Act (the “TIA”) in connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes by the Issuers to the Initial Purchasers or in connection with the offer, resale and delivery of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Final Offering Memorandum, it being expressly understood that such counsel expresses no opinion in this paragraph (16) or paragraph (9) as to any subsequent offer or resale of any of the Notes.

Exhibit A-1-5

Based on our participation in such conferences and conversations, our review of the documents described above, our understanding of the U.S. federal securities laws and the experience we have gained in our practice thereunder, we advise you that:

(a) The Incorporated Documents, at the time that they were filed (other than the financial statements, the notes and schedules thereto and other financial and accounting information included in the Incorporated Documents, as to which we express no opinion), appear on their face to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act except that we express no view as to the antifraud provisions of the Exchange Act.

(b) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that (i) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of 4:10 P.M. (New York time) on February 5, 2013 (which you have informed us is a time prior to the time of the first sale of the Notes by any Initial Purchaser), contained or (ii) the Final Offering Memorandum, as of its date and as of the date hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, except that in the case of each of clauses (i)–(ii) above, we do not express any view as to the financial statements, the notes and schedules thereto and other financial and accounting information contained or incorporated by reference therein.

Such Initial Purchaser agrees that it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell the Securities in the United States or to, or for the benefit or account of, a U.S. Person (other than a distributor), in each case, as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S (i) as part of its distribution at any time and (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Securities pursuant hereto and the Closing Date, other than in accordance with Regulation S or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Such Initial Purchaser agrees that, during such 40-day restricted period, it will not cause any advertisement with respect to the Securities (including any “tombstone” advertisement) to be published in any newspaper or periodical or posted in any public place and will not issue any circular relating to the Securities, except such advertisements as are permitted by and include the statements required by Regulation S.

Such Initial Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to confirmation of a sale of Securities by it to any distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration during the 40-day restricted period referred to in Rule 903 of Regulation S, it will send to such distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

“The Securities covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered and sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of your distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the date the Securities were first offered to persons other than distributors in reliance upon Regulation S and the Closing Date, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (or in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or to accredited investors in transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act), and in connection with any subsequent sale by you of the Securities covered hereby in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act during the period referred to above to any distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration, you must deliver a notice to substantially the foregoing effect. Terms used above have the meanings assigned to them in Regulation S under the Securities Act.”

Such Initial Purchaser agrees that the Securities offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S will be represented upon issuance by a global security that may not be exchanged for definitive securities until the expiration of the 40-day restricted period referred to in Rule 903 of Regulation S and, for persons other than distributors, only upon certification of beneficial ownership of such Securities by non-U.S. persons or U.S. persons who purchased such Securities in transactions that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
