Ladies and Gentlemen:

NGL Energy Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), confirms its agreement with Barclays Capital Inc. (the “Underwriter”), with respect to the issuance and sale by the Partnership of a total of 6,250,000 common units (the “Initial Units”) representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units”), and with respect to the grant by the Partnership to the Underwriter, of the option described in Section 2(b) hereof to purchase all or any part of the 937,500 additional Common Units. The Initial Units to be purchased by the Underwriter and all or any part of the 937,500 Common Units subject to the option described in Section 2(b) hereof (the “Option Units”) are hereinafter called, collectively, the “Units.” Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 15 hereof.

NGL Energy Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”), is the sole general partner of the Partnership. NGL Energy Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NGL Operating”), and the other entities listed in Exhibit A hereto are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Subsidiaries.” Each of the General Partner and the Partnership is sometimes referred to herein as a “Partnership Party,” and they are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Partnership Parties.” Each of the Partnership Parties and each of the Subsidiaries is sometimes referred to herein as a “Partnership Entity,” and they are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Partnership Entities.”

The Partnership understands that the Underwriter proposes to make a public offering of the Units as soon as the Underwriter deems advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered.

The Partnership has prepared and previously delivered to you a preliminary prospectus supplement dated March 5, 2015 relating to the Units and a related prospectus dated July 8, 2013 (the “Base Prospectus”). Such preliminary prospectus supplement and Base Prospectus, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, are hereinafter called, collectively, the “Pre-Pricing Prospectus.” Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Partnership will prepare and file with the Commission a prospectus supplement dated March 5, 2015 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B and Rule 424(b) and the Partnership has previously advised you of all information (financial and other) that will be set forth therein. The Prospectus Supplement and the Base Prospectus, in the

forms first furnished to the Underwriter for use in connection with the offering of the Units (whether to meet the request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173(d) or otherwise), including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, are hereinafter called, collectively, the “Prospectus.”

SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties.

(a) Representations and Warranties by the Partnership. The Partnership represents and warrants to the Underwriter as of the date hereof, as of the Applicable Time, as of the Closing Date referred to in Section 2(c) hereof, and as of each Option Closing Date (if any) referred to in Section 2(b) hereof, and agrees with the Underwriter, as follows:

(1) Status as a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (A) At the respective times the Registration Statement or any amendments thereto were filed with the Commission, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment to the Registration Statement for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or form of prospectus), (C) at any time the Partnership or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Units in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 and (D) as of the execution of this Agreement, the Partnership was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405, including not having been and not being an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 in connection with the offering and sale of the Units hereunder (without taking into account any determination made by the Commission pursuant to paragraph (2) of the definition of such term in Rule 405). The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405 and the Units, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Partnership on such an “automatic shelf registration statement.” The Partnership has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form.

(2) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Partnership meets the requirements for use of the Registration Statement under the 1933 Act and the offer and sale of the Units have been duly registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective under the 1933 Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Partnership, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with. The Registration Statement was initially filed with the Commission on July 8, 2013.

(3) Registration Statement, Prospectus and Disclosure at Time of Sale. At the respective times the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto became effective, at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriter pursuant to

Rule 430B(f)(2) and at the Closing Date (and, if any Option Units are purchased, at the applicable Option Closing Date), the Registration Statement and any amendments to any of the foregoing complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and did not and will not 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.

At the respective times the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto was filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or issued, at the Closing Date (and, if any Option Units are purchased, at the applicable Option Closing Date), and at any time when a prospectus is required (or, but for the provisions of Rule 172, would be required) by applicable law to be delivered in connection with sales of Units (whether to meet the requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173(d) or otherwise), neither the Prospectus nor any amendments or supplements thereto included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

As of the Applicable Time (except in the case of clause (y) below) and as of each time prior to the Closing Date that an investor agrees (orally or in writing) to purchase or, if applicable, reconfirms (orally or in writing) an agreement to purchase any Units from the Underwriter, neither (x) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, issued at or prior to the Applicable Time, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus as of the Applicable Time and the information, if any, included on Exhibit E hereto, all considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), nor (y) any individual Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses issued subsequent to the Applicable Time, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

No facts or events arising after May 30, 2014 (the date of the latest update of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 10(a)(3) under the 1933 Act) have occurred that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement as of such date.

Each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing filed as part of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, or filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, or delivered to the Underwriter for use in connection with the offering of the Units, complied when so filed or when so delivered, as the case may be, in all material respects with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.

The representations and warranties in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 1(a)(3) do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any the foregoing made in reliance upon and in

conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by the Underwriter expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriter as aforesaid consists of the information described as such in Section 6(b) hereof.

The copies of the Registration Statement and any amendments to any of the foregoing and the copies of each preliminary prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, that have been or subsequently are delivered to the Underwriter in connection with the offering of the Units (whether to meet the request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173(d) or otherwise) were and will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “delivery” or “furnishing” of any of the foregoing documents to the Underwriter, and any similar terms, include, without limitation, electronic delivery.

Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (if any), as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offering and sale of the Units, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus that has not been superseded or modified.

If at any time an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement or if an event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary (or if the Underwriter or counsel for the Underwriter shall notify the Partnership that, in its judgment, it is necessary) to amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus so that it will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or then prevailing, not misleading, or if it is necessary (or, if the Underwriter or counsel for the Underwriter shall notify the Partnership that, in their judgment, it is necessary) to amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Partnership will promptly notify the Underwriter and will promptly prepare and, if required by the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(b) hereof, such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission or to comply with such requirements, and the Partnership will furnish to the Underwriter such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Underwriter may reasonably request.

(f) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Partnership will use its best efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriter, to qualify the Units for offering and sale, or to obtain an exemption for the Units to be offered and sold, under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Underwriter may designate and to maintain such qualifications and exemptions in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Units

(but in no event less than one year from the date of this Agreement); provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. In each jurisdiction in which the Units have been so qualified or exempt, the Partnership will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification or exemption for so long as required for the distribution of the Units (but in no event for less than one year from the date of this Agreement).

(g) Rule 158. The Partnership will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide to the Underwriter the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.

(h) Use of Proceeds. The Partnership will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Units in the manner specified in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

(i) Listing. The Partnership will use its best efforts to effect the listing of the Units on the NYSE as and when required by this Agreement.

(j) Restriction on Sale of Common Units. During the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership Entities will not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, directly or indirectly:

(i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common Units, other equity securities of the Partnership or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Units or other equity securities of the Partnership, except that the Partnership may issue Common Units or any securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Units as payment of any part of the purchase price for businesses that are acquired by the Partnership or its subsidiaries; provided that any recipient of such Common Units must agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Section 3(j) for the remaining term of the Lock-Up Period,

(ii) file or cause the filing of any registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to any Common Units, other equity securities of the Partnership or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Common Units or other equity securities of the Partnership (other than (1) any registration statement on Form S-8 to register Common Units or options to purchase Common Units pursuant to the NGL Energy Partners LP 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan described in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus (the “LTIP”) and (2) any registration statement in connection with the entrance by the Partnership into a definitive agreement relating to the acquisition of a business as contemplated by Section 3(j)(i)),

(iii) enter into any swap or other agreement, arrangement or transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Units, other equity securities or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Common Units or other equity securities of the Partnership,

whether any transaction described in clause (i) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Units, other equity securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing. During the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership and the General Partner shall not permit or grant any waiver of the Partnership’s securities trading policies with respect to any trading window or blackout period, which waiver would allow any officer or director of the Partnership to offer, pledge, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common Units.

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Partnership may, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter:

(1) issue the Units to the Underwriter pursuant to this Agreement,

(2) issue Common Units, other equity securities of the Partnership or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Common Units or other equity securities of the Partnership and options to purchase Common Units, pursuant to the LTIP or any other equity incentive plans described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, if the terms of such equity incentive plans are substantially the same as the form filed as part of the Registration Statement,

(3) issue Common Units upon the exercise of options outstanding on the date of this Agreement or issued after the date of this Agreement under the LTIP or any other equity incentive plans referred to in clause (2) above, and

(4) issue or withhold any Common Units upon the vesting of any outstanding equity award granted pursuant to the LTIP or any other equity incentive plans described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus,

provided, however, that in the case of any issuance described in clause (3) above, it shall be a condition to the issuance that each recipient executes and delivers to the Underwriter, not later than one business day prior to the date of such issuance, a written agreement, in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto to this Agreement and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriter.

(k) Reporting Requirements. The Partnership, during the period when the Prospectus is required (or, but for the provisions of Rule 172, would be required) by applicable law to be delivered (whether to meet the request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173(d) or otherwise), will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations within the time periods required by the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.

(l) Preparation of Prospectus. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Partnership will, subject to Section 3(b) hereof, prepare the Prospectus, which

shall contain the selling terms of the Units, the plan of distribution thereof and such other information as may be required by the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations or as the Underwriter and the Partnership may deem appropriate, and, if requested by the Underwriter, will prepare the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus containing the information set forth in Exhibit F hereto and such other information as may be required by Rule 433 or as the Underwriter and the Partnership may deem appropriate, and will file or transmit for filing with the Commission, in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B and in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), the Prospectus and any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(m) Stop Transfer Instructions. The Partnership will, with respect to any Common Units (other than the Units to be sold pursuant to this Agreement) or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Units owned or held (of record or beneficially) by any of the persons who have entered into or are required to enter into an agreement in the form of Exhibit C hereto, instruct the transfer agent or other registrar to enter stop transfer instructions and implement stop transfer procedures with respect to such securities during the Lock-Up Period; and, during the Lock-Up Period, neither the Partnership nor the General Partner will cause or permit any waiver, release, modification or amendment of any such stop transfer instructions or stop transfer procedures without the prior written consent of the Underwriter.

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) that does not constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, 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;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Partnership; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such

untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above,

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or in any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) that does not constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriter as aforesaid consists of the information described as such in Section 6(b) hereof.

(b) Indemnification by the Underwriter. The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the directors and each of the officers of the General Partner who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 6, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, any other preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) that does not constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by the Underwriter expressly for use therein. The Partnership hereby acknowledges and agrees that the information furnished to the Partnership by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) that does not constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, consists exclusively of the sentence on the cover page of the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus relating to the delivery of the Units and the following information appearing in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus under the following captions: paragraph one under the caption “Underwriting—Commissions and Discounts,” “Underwriting—Price Stabilization and Short Positions” and paragraph three under the caption “Underwriting—Other Relationships.”

(c) Actions Against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. 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 appointed by the indemnifying party at the indemnifying party’s expense (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as expressly set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding anything otherwise provided herein, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) 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 the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. 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 6, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

SECTION 7. Contribution.

If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand from

the offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) 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 Partnership on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Units as set forth on such cover.

The relative fault of the Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriter 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 relates to information supplied by the Partnership on the one hand or by the Underwriter on the other hand and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Partnership and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Units underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each officer, director, employee, partner, member, agent and affiliate of the Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriter, and each director of the General Partner, each officer of the General Partner who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the

Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Partnership.

SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.

All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates signed by any officer of the General Partner (whether signed on behalf of such officer, the General Partner or the Partnership) and delivered to the Underwriter or counsel to the Underwriter, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, any officer, director, employee, partner, member, agent or affiliate of the Underwriter or any person controlling the Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Partnership, any officer, director or employee of the General Partner or any person controlling the Partnership, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Units.

SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement.

(a) Termination; General. The Underwriter may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Partnership, at any time on or prior to Closing Date (and, if any Option Units are to be purchased on an Option Closing Date which occurs after the Closing Date, the Underwriter may terminate any obligation to purchase such Option Units, by notice to the Partnership at any time on or prior to such Option Closing Date) (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (in each case exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), any material adverse change, or any development that could reasonably expected to result in a material adverse change, in the condition (financial or other), results of operations, business, properties, management or prospects of the Partnership Entities taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions (including, without limitation, as a result of terrorist activities), in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Underwriter, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Units or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Units, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Partnership has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NYSE, or if trading generally on the NYSE, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the NYSE Amex, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or in Europe, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities or (v) if there shall have occurred, since the time of execution of this Agreement, any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of the Partnership, or of the securities of any subsidiary or subsidiary trust of the Partnership, by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436 under the 1933 Act) or any public announcement

that any such organization has placed its rating on the Partnership or any such debt securities under surveillance or review or on a so-called “watch list” (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating) or any announcement by any such organization that the Partnership or any such debt securities has been placed on negative outlook.

(b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18 and 19 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 10. Notices.

All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective only upon receipt and shall be mailed, delivered by hand or overnight courier, transmitted by fax (with the receipt of such fax to be confirmed by telephone) or, in the case of any notice given under Section 2(b) hereof, by email correspondence if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged, other than via auto-reply.

Terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Underwriting Agreement.

In order to induce the Underwriter to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, and in light of the benefits that the offering of the Common Units will confer upon the undersigned in its capacity as a securityholder and/or an officer or director of the Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with the Underwriter that, during the period beginning on and including the date of the Underwriting Agreement through and including the date that is the 45th day after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, directly or indirectly:

(ii) enter into any swap or other agreement, arrangement or transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Units, other equity securities of the Partnership or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Common Units or other equity securities of the Partnership,

whether any transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Units, other equity securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing.

Prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the restrictions imposed by this agreement at any time during the period from and including the date of this agreement through and including the 34th day following the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned will give notice thereof to the Partnership and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Partnership that the Lock-Up Period has expired.

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth above, the undersigned may, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, transfer any Common Units, other equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Units or other equity securities:

(1) if the undersigned is a natural person, (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts or by will, by intestate succession or pursuant to a so-called “living trust” or other revocable trust established to provide for the disposition of property on the undersigned’s death, in each case to any member of the immediate family (as defined below) of the undersigned or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned or members of the undersigned’s immediate family, or as a bona fide gift or gifts to a charity or educational institution and (ii) as required or permitted by the NGL Energy Partners LP 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan or any other of the Partnership’s benefit plans that are described in the Registration Statement to reimburse or pay income tax or withholding obligations in connection with the vesting or exercise of any awards under such plans,

(2) if the undersigned is a partnership or a limited liability company, to a partner or member, as the case may be, of such partnership or limited liability company if, in any such case, such transfer is not for value, and

(3) in a private transaction, block trade or other similar arrangement not effectuated in the open market on any national securities exchange, [and

(4) in sales made pursuant to that certain plan adopted by the undersigned pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (the “10b5-1 Plan”) in accordance with the terms of such 10b5-1 Plan in existence as of the date hereof without any further amendment or modification, but only to the extent that any filing made pursuant to Section 16(a) under the Exchange Act reporting any such sale made pursuant to this

C-2

exception shall indicate that the sale was made pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan;](1)

provided, however, that in the case of any transfer described in clause (1)(i), (2) or (3) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that (A) the transferee executes and delivers to the Underwriter, not later than one business day prior to such transfer, a written agreement, in substantially the form of this agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the undersigned and not to the immediate family of the transferee) and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriter, (B) in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (1)(i) above, if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Common Units, other equity securities or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Units or other equity securities by the undersigned during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that such transfer is not a transfer for value and that such transfer is being made as a gift, by will or intestate succession or pursuant to a so-called “living trust” or other revocable trust established to provide for the disposition of property on the undersigned’s death, as the case may be, (C) in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above, no filing under Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Common Units, other equity securities or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Units or other equity securities shall be required to be made during the Lock-Up Period and (D) in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above, no voluntary filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other public report, filing or announcement shall be made in respect of such transfer during the Lock-Up Period; and provided, further that the restrictions set forth above shall not apply to (x) the offer and sale of the Common Units pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or (y) bona fide pledges of Common Units in existence on the date hereof. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption not more remote than the first cousin (including by adoption).

The undersigned further agrees that (i) it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), of any Common Units, other equity securities or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Units or other equity securities, and (ii) the Partnership may, with respect to any Common Units, other equity securities or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Units or other equity securities owned or held (of record or beneficially) by the undersigned, cause the transfer agent or other registrar to enter stop transfer instructions and implement stop transfer procedures with respect to such securities during the Lock-Up Period.

In addition, the undersigned hereby waives any and all notice requirements and rights with respect to the registration of any securities pursuant to any agreement, instrument, understanding or otherwise, including any registration rights agreement or similar agreement, to which the undersigned is a party or under which the undersigned is entitled to any right or benefit, provided that such waiver shall apply only to the public offering of Common Units

(1) To be included in agreement for Osterman Family Foundation

C-3

pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and each registration statement filed under the 1933 Act in connection therewith.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this agreement and that this agreement has been duly authorized (if applicable), executed and delivered by the undersigned and is a valid and binding agreement of the undersigned. This agreement and all authority herein conferred are irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned (if a natural person) and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

If (i) the Underwriting Agreement is not executed by the parties thereto prior to March 31, 2015, (ii) the Partnership notifies the undersigned and the Underwriter in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the offering of Common Units or (iii) for any reason the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Common Units to be sold thereunder, this agreement shall automatically terminate and become null and void.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that whether or not any public offering of Common Units actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions.

FORM OF OPINION OF PARTNERSHIP COUNSEL

1. The Partnership is validly existing as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The General Partner is validly existing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. Each Significant Subsidiary is validly existing as a limited liability company under the laws of its state of formation, as set forth on Exhibit A, and is in good standing under the laws of such state.

3. The Partnership has the limited partnership power to (i) own its respective properties and conduct its business, in all material respects, as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and (ii) execute and deliver the Underwriting Agreement and perform its obligations thereunder. The Partnership has the limited partnership power to issue and sell the Units in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement and the Partnership Documents. The General Partner has the limited liability company power to act as the general partner of the Partnership.

4. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Partnership.

5. When issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement against payment therefor, the Units will be duly authorized and validly issued, and under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “Delaware LP Act”), purchasers of the Units will have no obligation to make further payments for their purchase of Units or contributions to the Partnership solely by reason of their ownership of Units or their status as limited partners of the Partnership and no personal liability for the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Partnership, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, solely by reason of being limited partners of the Partnership.

6. The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership and owns of record a 0.1% general partner interest in the Partnership (the “GP Interest”) and owns all of the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership (the “Incentive Distribution Rights”), free and clear of all Liens (i) in respect of which a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware naming the General Partner as debtor is on file in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or (ii) otherwise known to us, in the case of (i) and (ii), other than those Liens that are (A) created under the Delaware LLC Act, (B) created in connection with the Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement, (C) created by the Partnership Documents, or (D) disclosed in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The GP Interest and the Incentive Distribution Rights have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the Partnership Documents.

7. The Partnership owns of record 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in NGL Operating, free and clear of all Liens (i) in respect of which a

D-1

financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware naming the Partnership as debtor is on file in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or (ii) otherwise known to us, in the case of (i) and (ii), other than those Liens that are (A) created under the Delaware LLC Act, (B) created in connection with the Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement, (C) created by the NGL Operating Documents, or (D) disclosed in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Such membership interests have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with NGL Operating Documents, and under the Delaware LLC Act, the Partnership will have no obligation to make further payments for its membership interests or contributions to NGL Operating solely by reason of its ownership of membership interests or its status as a member of NGL Operating and no personal liability for the debts, obligations and liabilities of NGL Operating, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, solely by reason of being a member of NGL Operating.

8. The Partnership Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Partnership and is a valid and legally binding agreement of the Partnership, enforceable against the Partnership in accordance with its terms under the Specified Laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the General Partner, and is enforceable against the General Partner, in its capacity as general partner of the Partnership, in accordance with its terms.

9. Except as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, 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 Partnership Documents, 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 the Partnership pursuant to any Partnership Document, any Specified Contract or any law, rule or regulation of any Specified Law (as defined below), other than those restrictions upon the transfer of equity interests created in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, dated as of October 16, 2013, among the Partnership, NGL Energy Finance Corp., the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, as amended or supplemented from time to time, and the Indenture, dated as of July 9, 2014, among the Partnership, NGL Energy Finance Corp., the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, as amended or supplemented from time to time. None of the offering, issuance or sale of the Common Units as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement gives rise under the Partnership Documents or any Specified Contract to any rights for inclusion in the Registration Statement of any Common Units or other securities of the Partnership, other than those that have been waived or are otherwise unavailable to applicable holders of Common Units pursuant to the terms of the relevant Specified Contract.

10. None of the offering, issuance and sale of the Units or the execution and delivery by the Partnership of, and the performance by the Partnership of its obligations under, the Underwriting Agreement conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes 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 upon any property or assets of the Partnership pursuant to (i) any Partnership Document, (ii) any Specified Contract, (iii) any Specified Law, (iv) any order, judgment, decree or injunction of any court or governmental agency or body known to us (based upon a certification of an officer of

D-2

the General Partner) and applicable to the Partnership Entities or any of their properties in a proceeding to which any of them or their property is a party or (v) any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights granted under the Partnership Documents, the Delaware LP Act or any Specified Contract; provided, however, that no opinion is expressed pursuant to this paragraph with respect to federal securities laws and other anti-fraud laws.

11. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency is required in connection with the offering, issuance and sale of the Units by the Partnership or the execution and delivery by the Partnership of, and the performance by the Partnership of its obligations under, the Underwriting Agreement, except (i) such as may be required by the securities or Blue Sky laws and regulations of the various jurisdictions in connection with the offer and sale of the Units and (ii) those that have been obtained.

12. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending under the Securities Act; any required filing of the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reference to Rule 424(b)(8)).

13. The Registration Statement (other than the financial statements and related schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein), as of the date the Registration Statement originally became effective under the Securities Act, and together with the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, as of each “new effective date” with respect to the Common Units pursuant to and within the meaning of Rule 430B(f)(2) under the Securities Act, appears to have complied, and the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and related schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein), as of their respective dates appear to have complied, and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and related schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein) as of the date hereof, appears to comply, in each case, as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, except that we express no opinion or assurance as to the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, General Disclosure Package or Prospectus (except to the extent specified in paragraph 14 below); and the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act (other than the financial statements, related schedules and other financial data therein, as to which we express no opinion), as of their respective dates of filing with the Commission, appear on their face to comply as to form, in all material respects, with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

14. The information included or incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the captions “Our Cash Distribution Policy,” “Description of Common Units,” “The Partnership Agreement,” “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations Supplement,” “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence,” “Business—Government Regulation” and the information in the Registration Statement under Items 14 and 15 of Part II

D-3

thereof insofar as it purports to constitute a summary of any agreement, statute or regulation or refers to statements of law or legal conclusions, constitutes an accurate summary of the matters described therein in all material respects, except that we express no opinion as to the actual number of shares of Common Units outstanding as of a particular date. The Common Units (including the Units) and the Incentive Distribution Rights conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Common Units” and “The Partnership Agreement.”

15. The Partnership is not, and immediately after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Common Units as described in the Prospectus will not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

In connection with the Partnership’s preparation of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, we, as counsel to the Partnership, have considered the information set forth and incorporated by reference therein in light of the matters required to be stated therein, and we, as counsel to the Partnership, have participated in conferences with your representatives, representatives of the Partnership and the Partnership’s auditors at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and related matters were discussed. We have not independently verified and are not passing upon the accuracy, fairness or completeness of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except to the extent set forth in paragraph 14 above. Based on the foregoing, no facts came to our attention as a result of such consideration and participation that caused us to believe that:

i. the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements, related schedules and other financial data therein, the report of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and the auditors’ attestation report thereon, as to which we express no view), as of each “new effective date” with respect to the Units pursuant to and within the meaning of Rule 430(B)(f)(2) under the Securities Act, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

ii. the General Disclosure Package (other than the financial statements, related schedules and other financial data therein, the report of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and the auditors’ attestation report thereon, as to which we express no view), as of the Applicable Time ([·] a.m. (New York City time) on March [·], 2015), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or

iii. the Prospectus (other than the financial statements, related schedules and other financial data therein, the report of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and the auditors’ attestation report thereon, as to which we express no view), as of its date and as of the date hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits

D-4

to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
