Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 27, 2016, Genesis Energy, L.P. (“ Genesis ”) entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Joinder Agreement (the “ Credit Agreement Amendment ”) among Genesis, as borrower, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and issuing bank, Bank of America, N.A. and Bank of Montreal, as co-syndication agents, U.S. Bank National Association, as documentation agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement Amendment, among other things, (i) increases the committed amount under Genesis’ revolving credit facility to $1.7 billion (from $1.5 billion), with the ability to increase the committed amount by an additional $300 million, subject to lender consent, and (ii) permanently relaxes its maximum consolidated leverage ratio to 5.5 to 1.0.

From time to time, certain of the lenders have provided, or may in the future provide, various investment banking, commercial banking, financial advisory, brokerage and other services to Genesis and its affiliates for which services they have received, and may in the future receive, customary fees and expense reimbursement. The lenders and their affiliates may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for Genesis in the ordinary course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1. The representations and warranties of Genesis in the Credit Agreement Amendment were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement Amendment is a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties thereto and is not intended to be a source of factual, business, or operational information about Genesis and its subsidiaries. The representations and warranties made by Genesis in the Credit Agreement Amendment may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances.

Administrative Agent when due, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be deemed, solely for the purpose of this definition, to be (x) prior to July 1, 2016, Level V and (y) on or after July 1, 2016, Level VI, until such time as the applicable Borrower Party shall deliver such financial statements.

If the rating system of S&P or Moody’s shall change, or if any of S&P or Moody’s shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith if necessary to amend this provision to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of Ratings from such Ratings Agencies and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the applicable LIBOR Margin, Base Rate Margin and Unused Fee on Committed Amount shall be determined by reference to the Rating of such Rating Agency most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.
