LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

GENESIS ENERGY, LLC

THIS LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) entered into effective as of December 29, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Genesis Energy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and Denbury Gathering & Marketing, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DG&M”).

RECITALS

The Company is a limited liability company formed under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act upon the conversion of Genesis Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation, into a Delaware limited liability company (the “Conversion”). The Conversion was effective on December 29, 2008. This Agreement will be effective upon the Conversion. The other party to this Agreement other than the Company is DG&M. The parties intend by this Agreement to, among other purposes, define their rights and obligations with respect to the Company’s ownership, governance and financial affairs and to adopt regulations and procedures for the conduct of the Company’s activities. Accordingly, they agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS

1.01 Scope

For purposes of this Agreement, unless the language or context clearly indicates that a different meaning is intended, capitalized terms have the meanings specified in this Article.

1.02 Defined Terms

“Act” means the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.

“Adjusted Total Units” means that number of Common Units of Genesis determined by (i) dividing the weighted average number of Common Units of Genesis issued and outstanding during a fiscal quarter by 0.979, and (ii) then subtracting from the quotient determined under (i) the sum of (x) the weighted average number of Common Units of Genesis, if any, issued in connection with a DNR Transaction (as defined in the definition of “Cash Available Before Reserves”) in those cases in which the cash flow of such DNR Transaction is to be excluded from dollar amounts of cash flow included in the definition of “Cash Available Before Reserves” and (y) the number of Conversion Common Units previously issued to the Company by Genesis.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, the Person in question. As used in this definition of “Affiliate,” the term “control” means either (i) the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise or (ii) a direct or indirect equity interest of twenty percent (20%) or more in the Person.

“Agreement” has the meaning set forth in the introductory paragraph, including any amendments.

"Audit Committee" means the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company constituted in accordance with both the listing standards established by the American Stock Exchange (or any other national securities exchange upon which the Company's or Genesis' equity or common units, respectively, are traded) and applicable rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

“Applicable IDR Percentage” has the meaning specified in Section 3.02(c)(3).

“Available Funds” means, with respect to any calendar quarter, (a) all cash and cash equivalents of the Company on hand at the end of such quarter, less (b) the amount of any cash reserves that are necessary or appropriate to provide for the proper conduct of the business of the Company, and comply with applicable law or any agreement or obligation, including reserves for: (1) payments of principal, interest, charges and fees pertaining to the Company’s indebtedness; (2) expenditures incurred incident to the usual conduct of the Company’s business; and (3) amounts reserved to meet the reasonable needs of the Company’s business.

“Award” means the written award made to a GP Officer specifying his Individual Class B Interest, his Base Amount per Unit, his Vesting Percentage(s) and his Change of Control Floor Percentage.

“Bankruptcy” or “Bankrupt” refers to a Person that:

(1) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors;

(2) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy;

(3) is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or has entered against it an order for relief, in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

(4) files a petition or answer seeking for it any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation;

(5) files an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding of this nature;

(6) seeks, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Person or of all or any substantial part of its properties; or

(7) is in the following situation: if one hundred twenty (120) days after the commencement of any proceeding against the Person seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, the proceeding has not been dismissed, or if within ninety (90) days after the appointment without its consent or acquiescence of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Person or of all or any substantial part of its properties, the appointment is not vacated or stayed, or within ninety (90) days after the expiration of any such stay, the appointment is not vacated.

The foregoing definition of “Bankruptcy” or “Bankrupt” is intended to replace and shall supersede and replace the definition of “Bankruptcy” set forth in Sections 18-101(1) and 18-304 of the Act.

“Base Amount per Unit” means, for purposes of determining a Class B Member’s Distributive Share from the Company under the provisions of Section 3.02(c) hereof, the dollar amount specified as such in a Class B Member’s Award.

“Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

“Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a holiday on which national banking associations are closed.

“Capital Account” has the meaning specified in Section B.1.1 of Exhibit B of this Agreement.

“Cash Available Before Reserves” or “CABR” of Genesis means the dollar amount disclosed by Genesis as “Available Cash Before Reserves” for the most recently completed rolling four fiscal quarters in its Form 10-Q or 10-K Reports filed with the SEC; provided that if “Available Cash Before Reserves” or a similar financial measure has not been so disclosed by Genesis, then “Cash Available Before Reserves” shall mean (as disclosed in the Genesis GAAP Statement of Cash Flows) the dollar amount of Genesis’ cash flows from operating activities for the most recently completed rolling four fiscal quarters before changes in the components of its operating assets and liabilities, and for the relevant period(s) (i) net of working capital acquired (ii) less maintenance capital expenditures (expenditures that are necessary to sustain existing, but not provide new sources of, cash flow), (iii) without giving effect to gains and losses on asset sales (except those from the sale of surplus assets), (iv) less other non-cash expenses not already adjusted in the GAAP measure (such as write-off of credit facility fees), (v) together with the substitution of cash generated by joint ventures (in which Genesis or its subsidiaries are parties) in lieu of Genesis’ equity income attributable to such joint ventures, and (vi) adjusted for any other cash items, such as the contribution by the Company toward executive severance in 2007, which are necessary to appropriately measure Genesis’ cash available for distribution before any reserves during the period(s) being measured.

In either case, CABR of Genesis shall exclude the impact of any Genesis cash flow resulting from any transaction between DNR and/or its Affiliates and Genesis and/or its Affiliates completed after March 31, 2008 (a “DNR Transaction”). The Genesis cash flow to be excluded will be Genesis’ EBITDA from the DNR Transaction, less Genesis’ financing cost of the DNR Transactions. Genesis’ financing cost of DNR Transactions shall be based upon the amount and type of debt by which such DNR Transactions were initially financed by Genesis. If a DNR Transaction is financed by Genesis issuing Common Units, the number of Common Units so issued will be excluded from the number of Adjusted Total Units. For instance, if a DNR Transaction was initially financed by Genesis with bank debt, the financing cost would be equal to the interest expense incurred by Genesis during the periods over which CABR of Genesis is being measured for that amount of bank debt and using the same type of debt, which financing cost would be netted against the Genesis EBITDA from such DNR Transaction. If there is not sufficient debt of the type used in the initial financing of the DNR Transaction, Genesis’ financing cost shall be imputed based on the current cost to Genesis of that type of debt per dollar initially financed in the DNR Transaction. If the DNR Transaction is financed with cash, Genesis shall make its best efforts to determine the capital source for such cash and such source shall be considered to be the method of financing the DNR Transaction.

If there is a disagreement between on one hand the Class A Member, and on the other hand, the Class B Members whose Individual Class B Interests represent a majority of the aggregate outstanding Individual Class B Interests, as to the dollar amount of CABR, the Genesis cash flow or financing cost of a DNR Transaction, the number of Genesis Common Units used to finance a DNR Transaction or any other element of determining CABR, such disagreement will be resolved pursuant to the arbitration provisions of Exhibit F hereto.

“CABR per Adjusted Total Unit” or “CABR per Unit” means, for purposes of determining a Class B Member’s distributions from the Company under the provisions of Section 3.02(c) hereof, the per Unit amount determined by dividing CABR for the relevant period(s) by the weighted average number of Adjusted Total Units for the relevant period.

“Cause” means that the Company’s termination of a Class B Member in his capacity as an officer and employee of the Company (a “GP Officer”) shall be for “Cause” if and only if the termination of such GP Officer’s employment by the Company is based upon the conduct prescribed below:

(1) that GP Officer’s commission of willful fraud against, or willful theft of any assets or property of, the Company, Genesis or their respective Affiliates, suppliers or customers;

(2) that GP Officer’s conviction (or plea of nolo contendere) for any felony or any crime which involves moral turpitude;

(4) that GP Officer willfully engaging in conduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious, monetarily or otherwise, to the Company, Genesis, or their respective Affiliates; or

(5) that GP Officer’s willful violation of material written rules, regulations or policies of the Company or Genesis, or failure to follow reasonable written instructions or directions both from a majority of the Audit Committee and from the Class A Member to that GP Officer that such GP Officer’s failure to follow such instructions or directions could reasonably be expected to be materially injurious, monetarily or otherwise, to the Company or Genesis, or their respective Affiliates.

Termination for Cause pursuant to clauses (3), (4) and (5) above may be effected only by written notice thereof which identifies in sufficient detail the reasons therefor) to the GP Officer, which must be recommended both by a majority of the Audit Committee and by the Class A Member, and which Termination shall only become effective thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice to GP Officer and GP Officer’s failure (within thirty (30) days of delivery of such notice) to cure the reasons for such Termination for Cause or to cease the conduct constituting the basis of such Termination for Cause; provided further, that prior to such Termination for Cause under clauses (3), (4) and (5) above becoming effective, the Company shall provide an opportunity for such GP Officer to be heard by the Audit Committee. No act, nor failure to act, on the GP Officer’s part, shall be considered “willful” unless he has acted or failed to act with an absence of good faith and without a reasonable belief that his action or failure to act was in the best interest of the Company and/or Genesis.

Termination for Good Reason pursuant to clauses (1), (4), (5) or (6) above may be effected by the GP Officer only by his providing written notice thereof (within 90 days of the initial existence of the reason therefor, which identifies such reasons in sufficient detail) to both the Audit Committee and the Class A Member, and which Termination for Good Reason shall only become effective thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice and the failure by the Company or DNR (or its Affiliates) to cure the reasons therefor.

“GP Market Multiple Discount Rate” means the average of the current per annum yield as of a particular Valuation Date of each of the publicly traded general partners of master limited partnerships listed on Exhibit D on the Valuation Date. Such list may be modified from time to time in writing by the Class A Member and those Class B Members whose aggregate Individual Class B Interests represent a majority of the aggregate outstanding Individual Class B Interests, so that the listed general partners of master limited partnerships may vary on different Valuation Dates. For purposes of this definition, “current per annum yield” for each general partner listed on Exhibit D shall be the current annual yield of a common unit of that general partner calculated as of a particular Valuation Date by annualizing the amount of the most recent quarterly distribution on its common units, and dividing the annualized amount by the closing market price of a common unit of that general partner as of the particular Valuation Date.

If the GP Market Multiple Discount Rate or any element thereof cannot be agreed upon, then any disagreement will be resolved pursuant to the arbitration provisions of Exhibit F hereto.

“GP Officer” means an officer of the Company who serves Genesis in such capacity.

“IDR Share” has the meaning specified in Section 3.02(d)(2).

“IDR Valuation” shall mean as of a particular Valuation Date, subject to the proviso in the last sentence of the definition of “Notional Units,” the present value of the Forecasted IDRs (as defined) as of that particular Valuation Date, discounted to present value using a per annum GP Market Multiple Discount Rate (as defined) as of that particular Valuation Date, plus the value of those Notional Units (as determined under the definition of “Notional Units” below), if any, recorded on the books of the Company as of such Valuation Date.

“Incentive Distribution Cash Flow” has the meaning specified in Section 3.02(c)(1).

“Incentive Distribution Right(s),” “Incentive Distribution(s),” or “IDRs” have the meanings specified in the Genesis Agreement.

“Notional Units” means that number of phantom Common Units calculated, recorded and maintained on the Company’s books and records for the purpose of determining Class B Members’ respective Redemption Amounts after there has been a Conversion Event.

When the Company consummates a Conversion Event with Genesis in which the Company receives directly from Genesis IDR Equivalents which are Conversion Common Units (“Direct Units”), the number of Notional Units to be recorded with respect to the Direct Units received in that Conversion Event shall be equal to the actual number of Direct Units so received.

When the Company consummates a Conversion Event with Genesis or any other Person in which the Company receives IDR Equivalents other than Direct Units, the number of Notional Units to be recorded with respect to those IDR Equivalents shall be determined by (1) subtracting the value of any Direct Units received in that same Conversion Event (determined as under the provisions of the next paragraph as if the date of the Conversion Event is a Valuation Date) from that portion of the IDR Valuation immediately before such Conversion Event which is the same as the portion of the IDRs sold, converted, exchanged or otherwise disposed in that Conversion Event, and then (2) by dividing that resulting amount by the average closing price of Common Units on the American Stock Exchange (or other exchange upon which its Common Units are traded) for the five trading days immediately following the date of the relevant Conversion Event; provided that in calculating the number of Notional Units to be recorded with respect to the Company’s receipt of IDR Equivalents other than Direct Units, the IDR Valuation shall be computed based upon Forecasted IDRs being determined using the higher of (i) the actual “most recent quarterly Incentive Distribution,” or (ii) a pro forma “most recent quarterly Incentive Distribution” that would result from assuming a Coverage Ratio for that quarter of 1.2 to 1.

The value of Notional Units as of any Termination Date or other applicable Valuation Date shall be determined by multiplying the number of Notional Units by the average closing price of Common Units on the American Stock Exchange (or other exchange upon which its Common Units are traded) for the five trading days immediately following the Termination Date or other applicable Valuation Date.

“Outside Director” means a non-employee Director who is independent of the Members and the management and operating executives of the Company, free from any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment, and who is “independent” under the rules or listing standards established by the American Stock Exchange (or any other national securities exchange upon which the Company’s or Genesis’ equity or common units, respectively, are traded).

(a) Class A Member. The name and address of the Class A Member is listed on Exhibit A to this Agreement, attached hereto.

(b) Additional Members. The Company may admit additional or substitute Members only with the approval of the Class A Member. Except with respect to Transfers of Ownership Interests expressly permitted by Section 3.05 below, the Class A Member may withhold approval of the admission of any Person in its absolute and sole discretion for any reason whatsoever. A Person admitted as an additional or substitute Member shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Member as specified under this Agreement and the Act and such Person shall execute and deliver to the Directors agreements appropriate in the discretion of the Directors acknowledging and agreeing to such restrictions and liabilities.

3.02 Certain Matters Relating to Members

(a) Class A Ownership Interest. The owners of the Class A Ownership Interests are entitled to all of the Company’s rights to distributions and allocations of Profit and Loss (and other items of income gain, loss, deduction and credit, if any) from or relating to property owned by the Company, including all rights to distributions and allocations of Profit and Loss (and other items of income gain, loss, deduction and credit, if any) relating to the Company’s ownership of a general partner interest in Genesis, Genesis Common Units, Incentive Distribution Rights in Genesis, a general partner interest in Genesis Crude Oil, L.P., any ownership interest issued to the Company by any subsidiary of Genesis, any IDR Equivalents, any other rights or property of any nature owned by the Company, any distributions or proceeds received by the Company relating to or resulting from any of the foregoing or any disposition thereof, and all distributions of Available Cash (as defined in the Genesis Agreement) or any other distributions of cash, in either case by Genesis to the Company (collectively “Company Assets”), except to the extent that distributions or allocations are specifically designated herein to be allocated or distributed to the owners of the Class B Ownership Interests. The Class A Ownership Interests also include the right to receive information pertaining to the Company and to inspect the Company’s books and records, the right to appoint Directors as provided in Section 5.01, and all of the rights to vote as a Member.

(b) Class B Ownership Interests.

(1) The Board of Directors may from time to time with the express prior written consent of the Class A Member award Class B Ownership Interests to specifically designated GP Officers, who as Class B Members in those specific circumstances further detailed herein will have the right to receive in the aggregate up to a 20% interest (the “Reserved Amount”) in the Incentive Distribution Cash Flow which the Company receives from Genesis. A recipient of a Class B Ownership Interest shall be a Member. Class B Ownership Interests shall be subject to vesting arrangements under which the recipient is required to provide services to or for the benefit of the Company, as specified in each Class B Member’s Award. At any time, the aggregate of all Individual Class B Interests of all Class B Members may not be all of the Reserved Amount and therefore only may entitle the Class B Members in the aggregate to receive less than the full Reserved Amount. All Class B Members’ Individual Class B Interests collectively may not entitle the Class B Members, in the aggregate, to receive more than 100% of the Reserved Amount.

(2) Any Class B Ownership Interests awarded by the Company shall be awarded and administered in exchange for services performed or to be performed in the future, to or for the benefit of the Company, by the recipient of the Class B Ownership Interests.

(3) Owners of the Class B Ownership Interests are entitled to the right to receive (i) allocations of the Company’s Profits and Losses (and other items of income gain, loss, deduction and credit, if any) and (ii) Distributions from the Company in accordance with Section 4.03 and other payments provided for in Article 3, including Sections 3.02(d) and 3.02(e). Other than the right to receive allocations, Distributions and other payments provided in the preceding sentence, the owners of Class B Ownership Interests will not have any interest in, or a right to receive any allocations, Distributions or other payments related to, the Company’s general partner interest in Genesis, Common Units owned by the Company, IDR Equivalents, or any other Company Assets.

(4) Class B Ownership Interests include the right to receive information pertaining to the Company and to inspect the company’s books and records. Each Class B Member’s “Individual Class B Interest” shall be specified in that Class B Member’s Award, and shall represent such Member’s portion of the aggregate Class B Ownership Interests available under Section 3.02(b)(1) above to be awarded pursuant to this Agreement, and the portion of the Reserved Amount that such Class B Member is entitled to receive.

(5) The Individual Class B Interest of each Class B Member will be as set out in the Award to that Class B Member, and may only be modified in writing as provided in that Award.

(6) Class B Members are required to provide the Company and the Class A Member with such information regarding themselves as may be necessary in order for the Company and the Class A Member to comply with all applicable state and federal reporting requirements.

(1) Once Genesis CABR per Adjusted Total Unit reaches certain levels (as detailed in subsection (3) below), under Awards awarded to each Class B Member, each Class B Member shall be entitled to receive his portion of the Company’s Incentive Distribution Cash Flow distributed in accordance with Section 4.03(a). The Company’s “Incentive Distribution Cash Flow” for a fiscal quarter or other relevant period(s) shall be equal to the aggregate amount of Incentive Distributions actually received by the Company from Genesis attributable to such fiscal quarter or other relevant period(s), as applicable, plus if there has been a Conversion Event, those additional amounts described in Section 3.02(d)(5)(i).

(2) The portion of Incentive Distribution Cash Flow to be distributed to a particular Class B Member (a Class B Member’s “Distributive Share”) shall be equal to (i) such Class B Member’s Individual Class B Interest multiplied by (ii) such Class B Member’s Applicable IDR Percentage (as determined in accordance with subsection (3) below) for the relevant period(s) to which the Incentive Distribution is attributable, multiplied by (iii) the Company’s Incentive Distribution Cash Flow for the relevant period(s).

(3) Each Class B Member’s “Applicable IDR Percentage” shall be determined (as provided in the chart below) for any relevant period individually for that Class B Member based upon (i) the excess, if any, of Genesis’ CABR per Unit for the relevant period(s) over (ii) such Class B Member’s Base Amount per Unit, provided that if a split, reverse split, pro rata distribution by Genesis on its Common Units which is paid in Common Units, subdivision or combination, of Common Units takes place, CABR per Unit and a Class B Member’s Base Amount per Unit and any other amount or calculation based upon Common Units (as determined immediately prior to the record date for such split, reverse split, distribution, subdivision or combination) shall be proportionately adjusted as of the effective date or record date, as applicable, to take account of such split, reverse split, distribution, subdivision or combination:

Excess of Genesis’ CABR per Unit for the relevant period(s) over each Class B Member’s Base Amount per Unit		Each Member’s Applicable IDR Percentage for period

Excess of $0.14 or less of CABR per Unit over Member’s Base Amount per Unit		0%

Excess of $0.15 through $0.29 of CABR per Unit over Member’s Base Amount per Unit		2%

Excess of $0.30 through $0.44 of CABR per Unit over Member’s Base Amount per Unit		4%

Excess of $0.45 through $0.59 of CABR per Unit over Member’s Base Amount per Unit		6%

Excess of $0.60 through $0.74 of CABR per Unit over Member’s Base Amount per Unit		8%

Excess of $0.75 through $0.89 of CABR per Unit over Member’s Base Amount per Unit		10%

Excess of $0.90 through $1.04 of CABR per Unit over Member’s Base Amount per Unit		12%

Excess of $1.05 through $1.19 of CABR per Unit over Member’s Base Amount per Unit		14%

Excess of $1.20 through $1.34 of CABR per Unit over Member’s Base Amount per Unit		16%

Excess of $1.35 through $1.49 of CABR per Unit over Member’s Base Amount per Unit		18%

Excess of $1.50 or greater of CABR per Unit over Member’s Base Amount per Unit		20%

(4) For example, if (i) a Class B Member’s Individual Class B Interest is 44%, (ii) his Base Amount per Unit is $0.925, (iii) Genesis CABR per Unit for the relevant period(s) is $1.525 per Unit, and (iv) the Company’s Incentive Distribution Cash Flow for the fiscal quarter is $100,000, the Distributive Share of that Class B Member for such fiscal quarter shall be calculated as follows:

(i) his 44% Individual Class B Interest multiplied by

(ii) his “Applicable IDR Percentage” determined by the excess of Genesis’ CABR per Unit of $1.525 over his Base Amount per Unit of $0.925, yielding a $0.60 excess, resulting in an “Applicable IDR Percentage” for that Class B Member of 8%, multiplied by

(iii) the Company’s $100,000 Incentive Distribution Cash Flow, resulting in his Distributive Share of $3,520 (44% x 8% x $100,000).

(5) If the Company or the Class A Member determines to waive receipt from Genesis of an Incentive Distribution for any period(s), the Company shall have no obligation to make Distributions in respect of such waived Incentive Distributions to the Class B Members under Section 3.02(c) for such period(s), and the Class A Member shall be entitled to determine the timing and terms of any sale of all or any portion of the Company’s IDRs, or conversion of all or any portion thereof into Common Units or other securities of Genesis or any other entity.

(d) Class B Members’ Redemption Amount – Termination and Other Valuation Dates.

(1) Subject to Section 3.02(d)(4), upon Termination of a Class B Member, that Class B Member shall cease to be a Member of the Company as of the applicable Termination Date and will no longer have any rights under this Agreement, other than to receive that Member’s Redemption Amount and to participate in any dispute resolution process affecting the determination of any amounts due such Member under this Agreement. The “Redemption Amount” shall be equal to (a) the excess (the “Excess Amount”) of (i) such Class B Member’s IDR Share (determined as specified in subsection (2) below) as of the Class B Member’s Termination Date or other applicable Valuation Date (his “Current IDR Share”) over (ii) such Class B Member’s IDR Share determined as of the date of that Class B Member’s Award of his individual Class B Interest (his “Initial IDR Share”) multiplied by (b) such Class B Member’s Vesting Percentage (or in certain instances Vesting Percentages) (as set out in such Class B Member’s Award) on the Termination Date or other applicable Valuation Date; provided, however, that if such Class B Member’s Termination is a termination of employment for Cause, the Redemption Amount shall be equal to zero and his Individual Class B Interest in the Company shall be forfeited and cancelled as of the Termination Date.

(2) A Class B Member’s “IDR Share” as of any given Termination Date or other applicable Valuation Date shall be equal to the IDR Valuation determined as of such Termination Date or other applicable Valuation Date multiplied by that Class B Member’s Individual Class B Interest as of that date, multiplied by the such Class B Member’s Applicable IDR Percentage for the fiscal quarter ending on or immediately prior to such Termination Date or other applicable Valuation Date.

(3) Subject to Section 3.02(d)(4), the Redemption Amount shall be paid as soon as practical after such Termination Date, but in no event later than 60 days after such Termination Date and shall be payable only in cash, or if so elected by a Class B Member in Common Units or a combination of cash and Common Units. If any Class B Member so elects (by written notice given to the Company and the Class A Member within 15 days after the Termination Date), all or a portion of the Redemption Amount shall be paid to such Class B Member in Common Units owned by the Company or its Affiliates, with the number of Common Units to be based upon dividing some or all of the Redemption Amount (as elected by a Class B Member) by the average closing price of Common Units on the American Stock Exchange (or other exchange upon which its Common Units are traded) for the five trading days immediately following such Termination Date.

(4) If a Termination Date occurs prior to September 30, 2010:

(i) the former Class B Member shall continue to receive that portion of Incentive Distribution Cash Flow determined by multiplying his Distributive Share attributable to all periods ending on or prior to September 30, 2010, by his applicable Vesting Percentage determined as of his actual Termination Date (provided that the Applicable IDR Percentage in determining his Distributive Share during this period shall be the former Class B Member’s Applicable IDR Percentage in effect on his actual Termination Date); and

(ii) the former Class B Member’s (x) Current IDR Share for purposes of Section 3.02(d)(1)(a)(i) will be calculated using an IDR Valuation determined as of September 30, 2010 and an Applicable IDR Percentage determined as of his actual Termination Date, (y) Redemption Amount will be computed using the applicable Vesting Percentage determined as of his actual Termination Date, and (z) Redemption Amount will be paid as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 60 days after the Company receives the distributions attributable to Genesis’ fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2010.

(5) If the Company sells, converts, exchanges or otherwise disposes of (including by, or as a result of, contribution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization transaction) all or a part of its IDRs into or for IDR Equivalents (a “Conversion Event”), the Company shall calculate and record a number of Notional Units (calculated under the definition of “Notional Units”) that will thereafter represent the value of the IDR Equivalents received as a result of such Conversion Event. In addition:

(i) After a Conversion Event, Incentive Distribution Cash Flow shall include an additional amount equal to the actual per Common Unit distribution made by Genesis to holders of its Common Units during the relevant period(s), multiplied by the weighted average number of Notional Units for the same relevant period(s), and otherwise a Class B Member’s Distributive Share shall continue to be determined under the provisions of Section 3.02(c)(2); and

(ii) After a Conversion Event, a Class B Member’s Current IDR Share shall be calculated under the provisions of Section 3.02(d)(1).

(e) Redemption Amount - Change of Control.

(1) “Change of Control” shall mean if any of the following events occur while there is at least one Class B Member:

(i) the Transfer (but not including any pledge, grant of a security interest in, mortgage, or other encumbrance) of all or substantially all of the assets of DNR or the Company to any other Person or group of Persons acting in concert (a “Group of Persons”) other than to a member of the DNR Group.

(ii) the DNR Group ceasing to own in the aggregate Class A Ownership Interests representing more than 50% of the Class A Ownership Interests, or if the Company is merged or consolidated with or into another person with the result that the DNR Group does not, directly or indirectly hold more than 50% of the equity interests ordinarily (and apart from rights arising under special circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of directors (or the equivalent) of the resulting entity;

(iii) DNR is merged or consolidated with or into another Person with the effect that the pre-merger or pre-consolidation equity holders of DNR hold less than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities ordinarily (and apart from rights arising under special circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of directors of the surviving entity of such merger or the entity resulting from such consolidation;

(iv) a change in the composition of the board of directors of DNR, as a result of which during any period of twelve consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute DNR’s board of directors (together with any new director whose election by DNR’s board of directors or whose nomination for election by DNR’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the directors in office at the end of such period;

(v) a Person or Group of Persons shall, as a result of a tender or exchange offer, open market purchases, merger, privately negotiated purchases or similar transaction, have become, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the securities of DNR representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of DNR ordinarily (and apart from rights arising under special circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of directors;

(vi) the DNR Group in the aggregate ceasing to own more than 50% of the general partner interest of Genesis; or

(vii) the DNR Group ceasing to beneficially own in the aggregate more than 50% of the economic interests and voting rights in the Company.

(2) In the event of a Change of Control, the Company shall be required to redeem each Class B Member’s Individual Class B Interest for the Redemption Amount calculated using the effective date of the Change of Control as the applicable Valuation Date for determining each Class B Member’s Current IDR Share. Such Redemption Amount will be paid as soon as reasonably practical, but in no event later than 60 days of such effective date, and the Class B Members shall cease to be Members of the Company as of the effective date of the Change of Control and will no longer have any rights under this Agreement other than to receive the Redemption Amount. For purposes of calculating the Redemption Amount upon a Change in Control, the “Applicable IDR Percentage” to be used to compute a Class B Member’s Current IDR Share shall be the higher of the “Change of Control Floor Percentage” specified in that Class B Member’s Award, or the “Applicable IDR Percentage” then in effect for a Class B Member under the provisions of Section 3.02(c)(3).

3.03 Member Action

(a) Procedure. Members may act on any matter requiring their vote or approval either at a meeting of Members or without a meeting by written consent signed by Members holding Ownership Interests sufficient to have approved such matter at a meeting of Members.

(b) Meetings.

(1) A meeting of the Members for the transaction of such business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at least annually, and at such other times as shall be determined by the Directors, on such date and at such time as the Directors shall specify in the notice of the meeting, which shall be delivered to each Member entitled to vote thereon at such meeting not more than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the date of the meeting. Any four Directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or any Member or combination of Members entitled to vote thereon at such meeting, may call a special meeting of Members by giving written notice to all Members not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the date of the meeting.

A Member may waive notice of a meeting of Members orally, in writing or by attendance at the meeting.

(2) A Member may act at a meeting of Members through a Person authorized by written proxy signed by the Member.

(4) The chairman of a meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice, other than announcement of the time and place of the adjourned meeting. Upon the resumption of such adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

(c) Required Approval. The Class A Member will have all of the voting or approval rights of the Members, and the affirmative vote of the Class A Member shall constitute the act of the Members at a meeting of Members.

(d) Special Power and Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Class A Member reserves the power and authority in its sole discretion to manage and direct any and all aspects of the Company’s business, affairs and properties, including to make all decisions which the Board of Directors otherwise would have the power and authority to make. If the exercise of such power and authority by the Class A Member either is not consistent with, or in conflict with, an exercise by the Board of Directors of its power and authority, the exercise of such power and authority by the Class A Member will be controlling.

3.04 Negation of Fiduciary Duties

(a) Directors and Members.

(1) A Director or Member has no duties to the Company or to the other Members solely by reason of being a Director or Member other than, to the extent that under the Act it may not be eliminated, an implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(2) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights of any Director or Member, or of any Affiliate of any Director or Member, to conduct any other business or activities whatsoever, and the Directors and Members and their Affiliates shall not be accountable to the Company or to any other Member with respect to that business or activity even if the business or activity competes with the Company’s or Genesis’ business.

(3) Being a Director or Member of the Company, or an Affiliate of a Director or Member, shall be without prejudice to the respective rights of the Directors and Members, or the rights of their respective Affiliates, to maintain, expand, or diversify such other interests and activities and to receive and enjoy profits or compensation therefrom. The Company and each Member waives any rights they might otherwise have to share or participate in such other interests or activities of the Directors or other Members or of their respective Affiliates.

(b) DG&M. Without limiting the foregoing, except for the obligations to perform its agreements specifically set forth in this Agreement, to the same extent that DG&M and its Affiliates have no duties or obligations to Genesis under the Genesis Agreement, DG&M and its Affiliates will not have any duties or obligations to the Company.

(c) Written Agreements. This Section will not limit the duties, obligations and agreements of DG&M, any Affiliate of DG&M, or any Class B Member, set forth in or arising under any written agreement between any such Person and the Company, Genesis or any Affiliate of either.

3.05 Restrictions on Transfer of Ownership Interest or Rights of a Member

The Class B Members will not have the right to Transfer all or any portion of their Individual Class B Interests prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed to prevent a Person owning an equity interest in the Class A Member from Transferring all or any portion of such equity interest, and nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed to prevent the Class A Member from Transferring all or any portion of its Class A Ownership Interest in the Company. If the Class A Member transfers a portion of the Class A Ownership Interest, the provisions of this Agreement will be binding on all owners of the Class A Ownership Interest, and the rights of the Class A Member hereunder will be exercised as agreed upon by all such owners of the Class A Ownership Interest; provided, however, that no such transfer will release the transferring party from any of its obligations.

3.06 Rights of Class B Members

In addition to those rights enumerated in Section 3.02(b)(3) and (4), each Class B Member shall have the right to receive (1) copies of all of the Company’s United States federal information returns and any required state, local or federal income tax returns, if any such returns have not been provided to the Class B Members by the Company under the provisions of Section 6.05, (2) reports on the Company’s operations for each taxable year (including detail of that Class B Member’s Capital Account reflecting all Profits and Losses (and items thereof) allocated and/or distributed to each such Class B Member during a taxable year), and (3) for a purpose reasonably related to such Class B Member’s interest in the Company, such reports and information as are otherwise compiled or available and that are reasonably necessary to provide full information regarding the results of operations and financial condition of the Company for or at the end of that taxable year.

(1) First, all Incentive Distribution Cash Flow shall be distributed to the Class B Members (commencing as to each Class B Member based on the date specified in that Class B Member’s Award) in accordance with their respective Distributive Shares until each Class B Member has received distributions pursuant to this Section 4.03(a)(1) equal to such Class B Member’s Distributive Share; and

(2) Then, all remaining Incentive Distribution Cash Flow shall be distributed to the Class A Member.

(b) Capital Event Proceeds.

The rights granted pursuant to this Article 7 shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Article 7 shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings arising prior to any such amendment, modification, or repeal. It is expressly acknowledged that the indemnification provided in this Article 7 could involve indemnification for negligence or under theories of strict liability.

7.02 Limitations

No Member, Director or other Person (“Covered Person”) shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any Indemnified Damages incurred by such Covered Person by reason of (i) an act or omission of such Covered Person that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (ii) a transaction from which the Covered Person received an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of such Covered Person’s office, or (iii) an act or omission for which the liability of such Covered Person is expressly provided by an applicable statute. Any indemnity under this Article 7 by the Company shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member shall have personal liability on account thereof.

7.03 Advance Payment

The right to indemnification conferred in this Article 7 shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company the reasonable expenses incurred by a Person of the type entitled to be indemnified under this Article 7 who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding and without any determination as to the Person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such Person in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of a written affirmation by such Person of its good faith belief that it has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this Article 7 and a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such Person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article 7 or otherwise.

7.04 Indemnification of Officers, Employees and Agents

The Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to an Officer of the Company to the extent required to do so by the Act or other applicable Law, or any employment agreement with such Officer. The Company, by adoption of a resolution by the Class A Member and the Board of Directors, may indemnify and advance expenses to an Officer, employee or agent of the Company to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance expenses to Members and/or Directors under this Article 7 or to such other extent as the Class A Member and the Board of Directors deem advisable; and, the Company may indemnify and advance expenses to Persons who are not or were not Members and/or Directors, Officers, employees, or agents of the Company but who are or were serving at the request of the Company as a member, manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in such a capacity or arising out of its status as such a Person to the same extent that the Company may indemnify and advance expenses to Members and/or Directors under this Article 7.

7.05 Appearance as a Witness

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7, the Company may pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a Member, Director or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Article 7 in connection with its appearance as a witness or other participation in a Proceeding at a time when it is not a named defendant or respondent in the Proceeding.

7.06 Nonexclusivity of Rights

The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article 7 shall not be exclusive of any other right which a Member or Director, or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Article 7 may have or hereafter acquire under any Law, provision of this Article 7 or this Agreement, agreement, vote of Members, or otherwise.

7.07 Insurance

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Person who is or was serving as a Member, Director, Officer, employee, agent or other representative of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such expense, liability or loss under this Article 7.

7.08 Member Notification

To the extent required by Law, any indemnification of or advance of expenses to a Member in accordance with this Article 7 shall be reported in writing to the other Members with or before the notice or waiver of notice of the next Members’ meeting or with or before the next submission to Members of a consent to action without a meeting and, in any case, within the 12 month period immediately following the date of the indemnification or advance.

7.09 Savings Clause

If this Article 7 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Member, Director, or any other Person indemnified pursuant to this Article 7 as to Indemnified Damages to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article 7 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

7.10 Tax Indemnification by the Parties

Each of the Parties acknowledges that (a) the terms and provisions of this Agreement have been reviewed on his/its behalf by his/its own tax counsel, (b) distributions or other payments to be made to the Members under this Agreement will be treated for federal income tax purposes as amounts payable to him/it as a partner in the Company and not as a guaranteed payment for such tax purposes, and will be reported accordingly, and (c) in his capacity as an officer of the Company, no Class B Member will be treated as an employee for federal income tax purposes, and thus the Company will not be required to withhold federal, state or local income or payroll taxes with respect to amounts payable to such officer of the Company under his Employment Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in Section 3(h) of the Employment Agreement, such officer will be individually responsible for all federal, state and local income taxes and any self-employment or other payroll taxes which are imposed on him. Each of the Class B Members severally agrees to indemnify the Company for any tax liability that the Company incurs and for which such Class B Member has primary liability, or penalty or interest thereon, arising out of his failure to pay appropriate federal, state or local income taxes and self-employment or other payroll taxes.

ARTICLE 8 DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

8.01 Dissolution

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of any of the following events (an “Event of Dissolution”):

(a) The written election of the Members;

(b) At any time there are no Members of the Company unless the Company is continued pursuant to the Act and this Agreement;

(d) The Transfer (but not including any pledge, grant of a security interest in, mortgage, or other encumbrance) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company;

Except as otherwise provided herein, dissolution shall be effective on the date of the Event of Dissolution, but the Company shall not terminate until its assets have been distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.04 hereof.

8.02 Liquidating Trustee

Upon dissolution the liquidating trustee (as hereinafter designated) shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and distribute its assets in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.04 hereof and any third-party liquidating trustee shall be compensated from Company funds for the fair market value of its services in liquidating the Company. During the interim, the liquidating trustee shall continue to exploit the rights and properties of the Company consistent with the liquidation thereof, and carry out the responsibilities of the Directors as herein set forth. The liquidating trustee shall be the Class A Member.

8.03 Accounting Upon Dissolution

Upon the distribution of the assets of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.04 hereof, the liquidating trustee shall cause the Company’s accountant to make a full and proper accounting of the assets, liabilities and operations of the Company, as of and through the date on which such Distribution occurs.

8.04 Liquidation

As soon as possible after dissolution, the liquidating trustee shall liquidate the assets of the Company in such orderly and businesslike manner as is consistent with obtaining the full fair market value thereof, as follows:

(a) After adjusting the Capital Accounts for all of the Profit and Loss (and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, if any) allocations and Distributions, the proceeds of such liquidation shall be applied and distributed in the following order of priority:

(1) First, to the repayment of debts and liabilities of the Company and the payment of expenses of liquidation;

(2) Second, to the creation of any reserves which the liquidating trustee may deem reasonably necessary to meet any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of the Members arising from or in connection with the Company;

(3) Third, to the repayment of accrued interest on, and then in reduction of the principal balance of any loans or advances that may have been made by any Member to the Company; and

(4) The balance, if any, to the Class A and Class B Members in accordance with the positive balances in their Capital Accounts.

(b) The liquidating trustee shall have the power to establish reserves for the payment of liabilities and obligations of the Company, as aforesaid, in such amounts as the liquidating trustee shall deem appropriate. All saleable assets of the Company may be sold in connection with any liquidation at public or private sale and at such price and upon such terms as the liquidating trustee, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Any Member or its Affiliate may purchase assets at such sale; provided, however, that no Member or its Affiliate may make a purchase of such assets at a private sale unless said purchase has been consented to by the Directors. Distribution of Company assets hereunder shall be made in cash unless otherwise reasonably determined by the liquidating trustee.

(c) Immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Dissolution the Members will discharge in full any outstanding obligations to the Company. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the discharge of liabilities to creditors, but in no event shall the liquidating Distributions be made later than the later of (a) the end of the tax year in which the liquidation occurs and (b) ninety days following the date of the liquidation. To the extent that a Member fails to discharge all outstanding obligations to the Company, any Distribution to that Member under this Section 8.04, up to the amount of the outstanding obligations, will be retained by the Company and treated as if paid out to that Member and then immediately paid by that Member to the Company in full or partial discharge of such obligations.

(d) Each of the Members shall be furnished with a statement prepared by the Company’s accountant, which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of complete liquidation. Upon compliance with the foregoing distribution plan, the Members shall cease to be such, and the liquidating trustee shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed a certificate of cancellation of the Company if applicable.

8.05 Certificate of Cancellation

On completion of the winding up of Company as provided herein, the Directors (or such other Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to Section 2.09, and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company. The existence of the Company as a separate legal entity shall continue until cancellation of the Certificate as provided in the Act.

9.02 Power of Attorney

Each Member appoints the Directors, with full power of substitution, as the Member’s attorney-in-fact, to act in the Member’s name to execute and file (a) all certificates, applications, reports and other instruments necessary to qualify or maintain the Company as a limited liability company in the states and foreign countries where the Company conducts its activities, (b) all instruments that effect a change or modification of the Company in accordance with this Agreement and (c) all instruments of transfer necessary to effect the Company’s dissolution and termination. The power of attorney granted by this Section 9.02 is irrevocable, coupled with an interest and shall survive the Dissociation, death or dissolution of the Member.

9.03 Nominee

Title to the Company’s assets may be held in the name of the Company or any nominee (including any Director or any Member so acting), as the Company determines. The Company’s agreement with any nominee may contain provisions indemnifying the nominee for costs or damages incurred as a result of the nominee’s service to the Company.

9.04 Notices

Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests, or consents provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given either by depositing that writing in the United States mail, addressed to the recipient, postage paid, and registered or certified with return receipt requested or by delivering that writing to the recipient in person, by courier, or by confirmed facsimile transmission; and a notice, request, or consent given under this Agreement is effective and deemed given on receipt by the Person to receive it. All notices, requests, and consents to be sent to a Member shall be sent to or made at the address given for such Member set forth on Exhibit A, or such other address as the Member may specify by notice to the Directors.

Whenever any notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

9.05 Computation of Time

In computing any period of time under this Agreement, the day of the act or event from which the specified period begins to run shall not be included. The last day of the period shall be included, unless it is not a Business Day, in which case the period shall run until the end of the next day that is a Business Day.

9.06 Entire Agreement

This Agreement (a) contains the entire agreement among the parties hereto, and (b) shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective personal representatives, and permitted successors and assigns.

9.07 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Severability

THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. In the event of any controversy with respect to this Agreement, the parties hereto submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory provision of the Act, the Act shall control. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances will not be affected thereby, and that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

9.08 Waiver

No right under this Agreement may be waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by the party sought to be charged with the waiver. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations period has run.

9.09 Multiple Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which, for all purposes, shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute, collectively, one Agreement; but in making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. It is not necessary that each party execute the same counterpart, so long as identical counterparts are executed by the Company and each Member.

9.10 Further Assurances

In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, the Members shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and those transactions

9.12 Binding Agreement

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Members agree that this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Members, and is enforceable against the Members in accordance with its terms.

9.13 Arbitration

In the event of a dispute between the Class A Member or the Company, on one hand, and one or more of the Class B Members or former Class B Members, on the other hand, as to any matter pertaining to the determination, calculations, assumptions or amounts of Cash Available Before Reserves, IDR Valuation, IDR Share, Forecasted IDRs or GP Market Multiple Discount Rate, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions described in Exhibit F hereto.

3.3. Section 754 Adjustments. Pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset under Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in the manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Treasury Regulations.

B-4

3.4. Regulatory Compliance. The manner in which Capital Accounts are to be maintained pursuant to this Exhibit is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If, in the opinion of the Company’s independent tax advisors, the manner in which Capital Accounts are to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Exhibit should be modified in order to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding provisions of this Exhibit, the method in which Capital Accounts are maintained shall be so modified; provided, however, that any change in the manner of maintaining Capital Accounts shall not materially alter the economic agreement between or among the Members.

3.5. Corrective Allocations.

Such determination shall be final and conclusive as to all the Members. Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Class A Member shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to effectuate the intended economic sharing arrangement of the Members as reflected in the Distribution provisions of the Operating Agreement, the Class A Member may make such modification in its sole and absolute discretion without the approval of Members.

(a) First, one hundred percent (100%) to the Class A Member, in proportion to and to the extent of the excess, if any, of (i) the cumulative Losses allocated to each such Member pursuant to Section 4.1(ii) hereof for all prior Allocation Periods, over (ii) the cumulative Profits allocated to such Member pursuant to this Section 4.1(i) for all prior Allocation Periods;

B-5

(b) Second, one hundred percent (100%) to the Class B Members, in proportion to and to the extent of, the amount of distributions made to the Class B Members pursuant to Section 4.03(a)(1) and Section 4.03(b)(1) of the Agreement; and

(ii) Losses. Subject to the limitation Section 4.2(vii) and after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Sections 4.2 hereof, Losses for any Allocation Period shall be allocated to the Class A Member.

(iii) Timing. Company income, loss, deductions and credits shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the portion of the year during which the Members have held their respective interests. All items of income, loss and deduction shall be considered to have been earned ratably over a Fiscal Year, except that gains and losses arising from the disposition of assets shall be taken into account as of the date thereof.

(iv) Recapture. All recapture of income tax deductions resulting from sale or disposition of Company property shall be allocated to the Member or Members to whom the deduction that gave rise to such recapture was allocated hereunder to the extent that such Member is allocated any gain from the sale or other disposition of such property.

(v) Allocation Periods and Unrealized Items. Subject to applicable Treasury Regulations and notwithstanding anything expressed or implied to the contrary in this agreement, the Tax Matters Member may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine allocations to Capital Accounts based on an annual, quarterly or other period and/or on realized and unrealized net increases or net decreases (as the case may be) in the fair market value of Company property.

4.2. Special Allocations to Capital Accounts and Certain Other Income Tax Allocations. Prior to making any allocation of Profits and Losses to the Members in accordance with Section 4.02 of the Agreement, the following special allocations shall be taken into account in the following order:

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) (6) and 1.704-2(j) (2). This Section 4.2(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Regulations Section and shall be interpreted consistently

B-6

(ii) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i) (4) and 1.704-2(j) (2). This Section 4.2(ii) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) (4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Treasury Regulations, which create or increase a Deficit Capital Account of such Member, then items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income, and gain for such year and, if necessary, for subsequent years) shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Deficit Capital Account so created as quickly as possible. It is the intent that this Section 4.2 be interpreted to comply with the alternate test for economic effect set forth in Section 1.704-1(b) (2) (ii) (d) of the Treasury Regulations.

(iv) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this paragraph shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Section 4.2 (other than Section 4.2(iii)) have been tentatively made as if this paragraph were not in this Agreement.

(v) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Regulations 1.704-2(e).

(vi) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions under Section 1.704-2(i) of the Treasury Regulations shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in accordance with said Section 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Treasury Regulations.

(vii) Loss Allocation Limitation. No allocation of Net Losses (or items thereof) shall be made to any Member to the extent that such allocation would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit with respect to such Member.

B-7

(viii) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in paragraphs (i) through (vii) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article IV (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations and the Regulatory Allocations (including Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are expected to be made in the future) to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

4.3. Section 704(c) and Reverse Section 704(c) Allocations.

(i) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to any property (other than cash) contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for federal, state and local income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal, state and local income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution.

(ii) If the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704 1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as provided in the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).

4.4. General Tax Allocation Matters.

(i) Allocation of Tax Credits. Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Class A Member, taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(ii) Elections. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Class A Member in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intent of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of profits, losses, other items or Distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

(iii) Allocations Binding On Members. The Members acknowledge that they are aware of the tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 4.4 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 4.4 in reporting their respective allocable shares of items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and expense.

4.5. Interpretation. The foregoing provisions, and other provisions of this Exhibit relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts and allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with those Regulations.

ARBITRATION PROVISIONS

1. Applicable Law/Arbitration. If on one hand the Class A Member and on the other hand those affected Class B Members whose aggregate Individual Class B Interests represent a majority of the aggregate outstanding Individual Class B Interests of all affected Class B Members (the Class A Member and such Class B Members collectively the “Deciding Members”) are unable to agree upon any element of determining CABR, the forecast of the future IDRs, or the master limited partnerships listed on Exhibit D, then within a reasonable amount of time any such disagreement (a “Dispute”) shall be referred to, and finally resolved by, binding arbitration. Venue for such arbitration shall be in Houston, Texas. Except for the limited rights described in Paragraphs 8 and 10 below, the Members waive their right to file a lawsuit in a court of law to prosecute any Dispute.

2. Negotiation. When a Dispute has arisen either Deciding Member (each Deciding Member a “Party”) may give the other Party written notice of the Dispute (“Dispute Notice”). In the event that a Dispute Notice is given, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the Dispute promptly by further negotiation. In connection with such negotiation, all reasonable requests for information made by one Party to the other will be honored.

3. Confidentiality of Settlement Negotiations. All negotiations regarding Disputes are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence and any additional confidentiality protections provided by applicable law.

4. Commencement of Arbitration. If the Dispute has not been resolved by negotiation within thirty (30) days of the Dispute Notice, or if the Parties have failed to confer within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, either Party may then initiate arbitration by providing written notice of arbitration to the other Party. In order to be valid, the notice of arbitration shall contain a precise and complete statement of the Dispute. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice of arbitration, the receiving Party shall respond by providing a written response which shall include its precise and complete response to the Dispute, and which includes any counter Dispute that the responding Party may have.

5. Selection of Arbitrator(s). The arbitration may be conducted and decided by a single person that is mutually agreeable to the Parties and knowledgeable and experienced in the type of matter that is the subject of the Dispute if a single arbitrator can be agreed upon by the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator within ten (10) days of the date of the response to the notice of arbitration, then the arbitration shall be determined by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. To select the three arbitrators, each Party shall, within ten (10) days of the expiration of the foregoing ten day period, select a person that it believes has the qualifications set forth above as its designated arbitrator, and such arbitrators so designated shall mutually agree upon a similarly qualified third person to complete the arbitration panel and serve as its chairman. In the event that the persons selected by the Parties are unable to agree upon a third member of the arbitration panel within ten (10) days after the selection of the latter of the two arbitrators, then he/she shall be selected from the CPR (as defined below) panel using the CPR rules. Once selected, no arbitrator shall have any ex parte communications with either Party.

F-1

6. Arbitration Process. The arbitration hearing shall commence within a reasonable time after the selection of the arbitrator(s), as set by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s), shall allow the Parties to engage in pre-hearing discovery, to include exchanging (i) requests for and production of relevant documents, (ii) up to fifteen (15) interrogatories, (iii) up to fifteen (15) requests for admissions, and producing for deposition and at the arbitration hearing, up to four (4) persons within each Parties’ control. Any additional discovery shall only occur by agreement of the Parties or as ordered by the arbitrator(s) upon a finding of good cause. The arbitration shall be conducted under the rules of the CPR International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (“CPR”) in effect on the date of this Agreement for dispute resolution rules for non-administered arbitration of business disputes. The Parties may agree on such other rules to govern the arbitration that are not set out in this provision as they may mutually deem necessary.

7. Arbitration Decision. The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award interim relief, and to grant specific performance. Except as may be specifically limited elsewhere in this Agreement, the arbitrator’s decision may be based on such factors and evidence as the arbitrator(s) deems fit. The arbitrator(s) shall be required to render a written decision to the Parties no later than thirty (30) days after the completion of the hearing.

8. Arbitration Award. The award of a majority of the arbitrator(s) shall be final, conclusive and binding. The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction in respect thereof, including any court in which an injunction may have been sought. For ten (10) days following the rendering of the arbitrator’s decision, each of the Parties shall have the right to make a written request for clarification of any aspect of the decision, or a correction of any manifest error.

9. Arbitration Costs. Prior to the entry of the award, if there is but one arbitrator, each Party shall pay for one half of the fees of the arbitrator and costs of administering the arbitration including any filing fees. If there are three arbitrators, each Party shall pay the fees of its respective Party-selected arbitrator and one-half (1/2) of the costs of the third arbitrator and one-half (1/2) of the costs of administering the arbitration. The arbitrator(s) may assess all arbitrator(s)’ fees and costs of the arbitration against either Party and may award to either Party up to all its reasonable attorneys fees and other of its out of pocket costs of the arbitration.

10. Injunctive Relief. With respect to the Dispute, nothing in this Exhibit F shall prevent a Party from immediately seeking injunctive relief in a court to maintain the status quo during the arbitration.
