Membership Interest Purchase Agreement                                    Page 36

6.4.2Nothing in this Section 6.4, whether express or implied, shall confer upon any Person any right to employment with Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer, and nothing herein shall be construed so as to prohibit Buyer or any of its Affiliates from having the right to terminate the employment of any employee, provided that any such termination is effected in accordance with applicable Law.

6.5.Name. As soon as practicable following Closing, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following Closing, Buyers shall cause (a) the Company and the Subsidiary to change its name to remove “NGL” therefrom and (b) the Company and the Subsidiary to discontinue all use of the “NGL” name or any other terms that may cause a reasonable person to confuse Seller with the Company or the Subsidiary.

6.6.Termination of Indemnity Obligations. From and after the Closing Date, in consideration for the undertakings by Seller under Section 6.10, all obligations of Seller under Section 9.2 of that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated February 28, 2018, shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

6.7.Non-Solicitation. For a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates shall not (a) induce or attempt to induce any Transferred Employee to leave the employ of Buyers or their respective Affiliates (including the Company or any Subsidiary), (b) hire any Transferred Employee, or (c) in any other way interfere with the relationship between Buyers or their respective Affiliates (including the Company or any Subsidiary) and any Transferred Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.7 shall not prohibit Seller or its Affiliates from soliciting or hiring any individual who responds to a general advertisement or solicitation.

6.8.Insurance. Any insurance policies applicable to the Business that are in the name of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company) shall be terminated as of the Closing. Buyers shall be responsible for procuring insurance policies to replace any such terminated insurance policies. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyers and the Company after the Closing to pursue any insurance claims arising from events that occur prior to the Closing during Seller’s ownership of the Company.

6.9.Release. Seller, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, Affiliates, representatives, administrators, executors, agents and any other Person claiming by, through or under any of the foregoing, does hereby unconditionally and irrevocably release, waive and forever discharge, as of the Closing Date, the Company, and its Affiliates and each of its past and present directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, assigns, equityholders, partners, insurers and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims, demands, damages, judgments, causes of action and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether or not known, suspected or claimed, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, in each case arising directly or indirectly from any act, omission, event or transaction occurring (or any circumstances existing) on or prior to the Closing Date, to the extent arising out of or relating to Seller’s or its Affiliates’ ownership of the Subject Interests and the operation of the Business, except for any of the foregoing set forth in, pursuant to, or arising out of (collectively, the “Excluded Claims”), (a) this Agreement, any
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement                                    Page 37

transaction documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (b) any existing agreements between Buyers and their Affiliates (including the Company following the Closing), on the one hand, and Seller and its Affiliates, on the other hand, for matters arising and accruing (and only to the extent arising and accruing) from and after the Closing. Seller understands that, except for Excluded Claims, this is a full and final general release of all claims, demands, causes of action and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether or not known, suspected or claimed, that could have been asserted in any legal or equitable proceeding against any of the Released Parties to the extent arising out of or relating to Seller’s or its Affiliates’ ownership of the Subject Interests and the operation of the Business.

6.10.Known Conditions. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.10, Seller shall take such actions as are necessary to satisfy the Remediation and Monitoring Requirements with respect to the Known Conditions (the “Environmental Monitoring and Remediation”), following the Closing and shall be responsible for the costs thereof, but subject to the following:

6.10.1Seller shall give the Company, Trafigura and Magnum Development LLC (“Magnum Development”) the opportunity to participate at each entity’s sole cost and expense in any meeting or telephone call with any Governmental Entity regarding the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation. The Company shall not independently initiate contact with any Governmental Entity regarding the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation without the consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

6.10.2Seller shall promptly provide the Company with copies of all written communications sent to or received from any Governmental Entity regarding the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation or otherwise relating to Seller’s actions to satisfy Remediation and Monitoring Requirements. Buyers shall, and shall cause the Company to, promptly provide Seller with copies of all written communications sent to or received from any Governmental Entity regarding the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation or otherwise relating to the satisfaction of the Remediation and Monitoring Requirements. Seller shall reasonably consult with the Company’s environmental consultants with respect to (i) the status of the Known Conditions, (ii) any communications between Governmental Entities, on the one hand, and the Company, the Buyers or their Affiliates or the Seller, on the other hand, that relate to Remediation and Monitoring Requirements and (iii) the implementation of Remediation and Monitoring Requirements, including making available to the Company, Trafigura, and Magnum Development, upon request, periodic reports (no more frequently than monthly) that explain the relevant status of such implementation.

6.10.3Seller shall promptly notify the Company of completion of the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation and satisfaction of the Remediation and Monitoring Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not enter into any agreement, Order or undertaking with a Governmental Entity involving the Company or any Buyer Indemnified Party (including Trafigura and Magnum Development) or their respective assets, including groundwater discharge permit #UGW27008 or the operation of the brine ponds of the Company, without the prior written
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement                                    Page 38

consent of the Company and/or the relevant Persons. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall vest Seller with the right to defend or direct the defense of any third party claim (including by any Governmental Entity) restricted by Section 7.2.2.(a)-(c).

6.10.4From and after the Closing Date, Buyers shall, and shall cause the Company to, cooperate with Seller and provide reasonable assistance to Seller in connection with the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation including providing Seller access to the Real Property and any affected, adjacent real property of Magnum Development and the facilities located on the Real Property and any facilities located on affected, adjacent real property of Magnum Development to the extent reasonably necessary to allow Seller to conduct and complete the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation; provided, however, that such cooperation shall not materially impair or hinder the operations of the Company. Within sixty (60) days of the Closing, Magnum shall cause Magnum Development to provide a customary license agreement (which shall not include any indemnity provision inconsistent with this Section 6.10) to Seller, in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller, for purposes of implementing the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation (the “Magnum License”).

6.10.5From and after the Closing Date, the Environmental Insurance Policy shall remain with the Company, and until Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.10 have been fulfilled or terminated, Buyers shall cause the Company to (a) maintain the Environmental Policy in full force and effect and renew the Environmental Policy without decreasing any coverages thereunder, and to continue to include NGL Energy Partners, L.P. and its Affiliates as additional named insureds and (b) provide Seller with copies of all substantive correspondence with the Environmental Insurance Policy insurer.

6.10.6Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.10 to the contrary, Seller shall, with respect to the Known Conditions, have no responsibility for any costs associated with the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation that fall within the scope of and limit of Coverage Types A, B or C under the Environmental Insurance Policy (in which event such costs shall be paid solely from disbursements under the Environmental Insurance Policy and Buyers shall cooperate with Seller in order to obtain such disbursement); except, however, for (i) costs incurred within the Self-Insured Retention Amounts (as currently defined in the Environmental Insurance Policy), or (ii) the denial of coverage for such costs under the Environmental Insurance Policy unless such denial arises from a breach after the Closing Date by Buyers or the Company of any reporting, consulting, cooperation or other duties or obligations under the Environmental Insurance Policy.

6.10.7In no event (except for fraud of Seller) shall Seller be required to expend (through out of pocket costs supported by reasonable documentation) in excess of $3,500,000 (the “Remediation Cap”) in conducting the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation, and once Seller has incurred such out of pocket costs in performing the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation up to the Remediation Cap, Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.10 shall terminate.
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement                                    Page 39

6.10.8The Seller Parent, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and timely payment and performance of all Liabilities (including indemnities, fees and Liabilities in respect of equitable relief) of the Seller incurred under, arising out of or in connection with this Section 6.10 (such Liabilities, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This is a guarantee of payment and performance, and not of collectability. This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and may not be revoked by the Seller Parent. The obligations of the Seller Parent under this Section 6.10 are absolute and unconditional in respect of satisfying the Guaranteed Obligations and shall be enforceable against the Seller Parent to the same extent as if the Seller Parent were the primary obligor (and not merely a surety) under this Agreement. The Seller Parent hereby waives as to itself promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this guarantee and of the Guaranteed Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of any Guaranteed Obligations incurred, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium Law or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect, and all suretyship defenses (it being understood that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed a waiver by the Seller Parent of the obligation of any other party to deliver any notice expressly required by the terms of this Agreement). The Seller Parent agrees that its obligations under this Section 6.10 shall not be discharged except by complete performance or payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and that its obligations under this Section 6.10 shall not be limited, impaired, released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by, and the Seller Parent irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses to its obligations under this Section 6.10 arising under applicable Law or equity.

7.Survival; Indemnification.

7.1Survival. The representations and warranties of Seller and of Buyers contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing. The covenants that by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing shall survive the Closing until the end of the period of applicable performance. The survival period set forth above for each such covenant, agreement, representation or warranty is referred to herein as the “Survival Period.” Except for claims made under the R&W Insurance Policy and except for claims involving fraud, no claim for Damages or other relief of any kind arising out of or relating to any breach of under this Agreement may be brought unless a written notice describing the nature of the claim, the theory of liability or the nature of the relief sought and the material factual assertions upon which the claim is based is given to the other party, before the termination of the applicable Survival Period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty that would otherwise terminate shall continue to survive to the extent of any Damages with respect to which such notice is given pursuant to this Agreement prior to the end of the Survival Period, until the matter is finally resolved and any related Damages are paid.

7.2Indemnification by Seller.

Subject to the provisions hereof, Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyers, their Affiliates and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement                                    Page 40

their respective equityholders (including for purposes hereof Magnum Development), members, partners (general and limited), officers, directors, managers, agents, representatives and employees (“Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from against and in respect of any and all actual damages relating to any demands, claims, lawsuits, causes of action, losses, investigations and other proceedings (whether or not asserted by a third party), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and other documented out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the foregoing (subject to Section 7.5; collectively, “Damages”), which arise out of any breach of any of the covenants or agreements of Seller in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or Section 7.2.2, if a Buyer determines Seller has breached, in any material respect, its obligations pursuant to Section 6.10 or a Governmental Entity directly imposes obligations on the Company concerning the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation, then Buyer shall deliver written notice to Seller to cure such breach or assume such directly imposed obligations within fifteen (15) days. If Seller fails to cure such breach or assume such obligations within the fifteen (15) day period (or such longer period of time as may be necessary if permitted by the relevant Governmental Entity, not to exceed ninety (90) days, to cure such breach or assume such obligations provided that Seller is diligently pursuing the same), such Buyer shall have the right to effect the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation and seek indemnification from Seller for any Damages arising hereunder from such breach and the related assumption of Environmental Monitoring and Remediation.

7.2.1Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, plus sixty (60) days, Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties and hold them harmless, from and against, without duplication, all Seller Taxes (or the non-payment thereof).

7.2.2Buyers shall give Seller prompt written notice of any third party claim which may give rise to any indemnity obligation under this Section 7.2, together with the estimated amount of such claim, and Seller shall have the right to assume the defense of any such claim through counsel of its own choosing, by so notifying Buyers within forty five (45) days of receipt of Buyers’ written notice; provided that Seller’s counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Buyers; provided further that Seller shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such third party claim (a) that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against Buyers, (b) involves criminal allegations, proceedings, indictments or investigations or (c) could reasonably be determined to be materially detrimental to or injure the Buyers or any of their respective Affiliates’ (including the Company) reputation, customer or vendor relations or future business prospects. Failure to give prompt notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations hereunder in the absence of actual prejudice. If Buyers desire to participate in, but not control, any such defense assumed by Seller, they may do so at their sole cost and expense. If Seller fails to assume any such defense, Seller shall be liable to the extent provided under Section 7.2.3 for all reasonable costs and expenses of defending such claim incurred by Buyers, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in the event it is ultimately determined that Seller is liable for such claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Neither Buyers nor Seller shall, without the prior written consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand on
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement                                    Page 41

a basis which would result in the imposition of an Order which would restrict the future activity or conduct of the other Parties or any Affiliate thereof or if such settlement or compromise does not include an unconditional release of the other Parties for any liability arising out of such claim or demand or any related claim or demand.

7.2.3Except in the case of fraud, with respect to Damages claimed by Buyers for any breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 3 and 4 (“R&W Losses”), Buyers sole recourse shall be filing a claim under the R&W Insurance Policy. Buyers and Seller acknowledge that Buyers are obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy for purposes of providing coverage for the R&W Losses, and nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Buyers to make claims against the R&W Insurance Policy. Except in the cause of fraud in respect of the making of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, the R&W Insurance Policy shall provide that the insurer(s) will not be entitled to subrogation rights of recovery against Seller. Buyers shall not (and shall cause each insured party under the R&W Insurance Policy not to) waive, amend, modify or otherwise revise such subrogation provision or allow such provision to be amended, modified or waived without prior written consent of Seller.

7.3.Indemnification by Buyer.

7.3.1Subject to the provisions hereof, each Buyer shall, severally (and not jointly), defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and their respective equityholders, members, partners (general and limited), officers, directors, employees and each of their heirs, executors, successors and assigns (“Seller Indemnified Parties”), from, against and in respect of any and all Damages arising out of any breach by the relevant Buyer of any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

7.3.2Seller shall give Buyers prompt written notice of any third party claim which may give rise to any indemnity obligation under this Section 7.3, together with the estimated amount of such claim, and Buyers shall have the right to assume the defense of any such claim through counsel of its own choosing, by so notifying Seller within forty five (45) days of receipt of Seller written notice; provided that Buyers’ counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Seller; provided further that Buyers shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such third party claim (a) that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against Seller, (b) involves criminal allegations, proceedings, indictments or investigations or (c) could reasonably be determined to be materially detrimental to or injure Seller or any of its respective Affiliates’ reputation, customer or vendor relations or future business prospects. Failure to give prompt notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations hereunder in the absence of actual prejudice. If Seller desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense assumed by Buyers it may do so at Seller’s sole cost and expense. If Buyers fail to assume any such defense, it shall be liable to the extent provided under Section 7.3.1 including for all reasonable costs and expenses of defending such claim incurred by Seller, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in the event it is ultimately determined that
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement                                    Page 42

Buyers are liable for such claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. No Party shall, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand on a basis which would result in the imposition of an Order which would restrict the future activity or conduct of the other Parties or any Affiliate thereof or if such settlement or compromise does not include an unconditional release of the other Parties for any liability arising out of such claim or demand.

7.4Other Indemnification Matters. For purposes of this Section 7, any Damages resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to materiality or similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Section 7 shall be computed net of any insurance proceeds actually recovered by the indemnified party in connection with such Damages. Without limiting Section 7.2.2 or Section 7.3.2, each indemnified party agrees that it shall pursue in good faith claims under any applicable insurance policies and against other third parties who may be responsible for Damages. The indemnification provided in this Section 7 shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any Party hereto with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or otherwise in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with respect to matters involving fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

7.5No Consequential Damages. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO R&W LOSSES (FOR WHICH SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY ABSENT FRAUD), NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NO PARTY, NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY, OR ITS AFFILIATES, FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OTHER LAW OR OTHERWISE AND WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM ANOTHER PARTY’S OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES’ SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IN NO EVENT SHALL THIS SECTION 7.5 BE A LIMITATION ON ANY INDEMNITY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER ARISING OUT OF OR WITH RESPECT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM.

8.Tax Matters.

8.1Tax Responsibilities.

8.1.1Preparation of Tax Returns. Buyers shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date and which relate to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date or Straddle Periods. With respect to such Tax Returns that constitute income, margin, or franchise Tax Returns (and with respect to any other Tax Returns, upon request by Seller), Buyers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide copies of such Tax Returns to Seller for review at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing thereof, along with supporting workpapers, for Seller’s review and reasonable comment.
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement                                    Page 43

Buyers shall cause such Tax Returns to be revised to incorporate the Seller’s reasonable comments. Not later than five days prior to the due date for payment of Taxes with respect to any Tax Return which relates to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date or Straddle Periods, Seller will pay to the Company any Seller Taxes due with respect to such Tax Return. Buyers shall cause the Company to pay all Taxes shown as due on any Tax Return covered by this Section 8.1.1 and shall timely file such Tax Returns

8.1.2Proration of Straddle Period Taxes. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that is attributable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date will be:

(a)in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (B) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax period of the Company and the Subsidiary (and each partnership in which the Company or the Subsidiary is a partner) ended with (and included) the Closing Date; provided, exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) will be allocated between the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period; and

(b)in the cases of Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets or capital of the Company, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction the number of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any franchise tax paid or payable with respect to the Company will be allocated to the Tax period during which the income, operations, assets or capital comprising the base of such Tax is measured, regardless of whether the right to do business for another Tax period is obtained by the payment of such franchise tax.

8.2Cooperation. Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. The Party responsible for filing the particular Tax Return in accordance with Section 8.1 shall control the conduct of any audit or contest relating to such Tax Return, taking into account the reasonable requests of the other Party with respect to the conduct of the audit or contest. Notwithstanding any
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement                                    Page 44

provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyers shall control any Tax audit or contest that relates to a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date or a Straddle Period that is not described in the preceding sentence, and Seller shall be permitted to participate in, but not control, any such Tax audit or contest. The controlling Party with respect to any Tax audit or contest hereby agrees: (i) to provide, or cause to be provided, to the other party copies of all correspondence received from or delivered to the applicable taxing authority; (ii) to confer with the other Party, as the other Party may reasonably request from time to time with respect to such Tax audit or contest; (iii) to allow the other Party (or its counsel) to participate in such Tax audit or contest at the other Party’s expense; and, (iv) except with respect to any Tax contest controlled by Buyers and which relates wholly to periods commencing after the Closing Date, not to settle or close the Tax audit or contest without the consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

8.3Books and Records. Buyers and Seller shall (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyers or Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discharging any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Seller and Buyers, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records. Seller and Buyers further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be reasonably necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

8.4Tax Election and Allocation. The Company has or will make a 754 election in accordance with Section 754 of the Code. Schedule 8.4 sets forth the allocation of the Purchase Price among the assets of the Company for federal income tax purposes in accordance with Sections 743,755, and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Buyers and Seller shall report, act, and file Tax Returns (including, but not limited to filing a 743 statement to be attached to the Company’s Form 1065 for the taxable year in which the Closing Date occurs) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such election and allocations and shall not file any Tax Return or other documents or otherwise take any position with respect to Taxes that is inconsistent with such election or allocation.

8.5Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Parties shall treat any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

8.6Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions shall be borne by Buyers. Buyers shall file, to the extent required by applicable Law, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes. Seller shall, to the extent required by Law, join in the execution of any such Tax Return.
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement                                    Page 45

8.7Bipartisan Budget Act Provisions. If, under the Bipartisan Budget Act, an imputed underpayment is imposed with respect to the Company for any taxable year that ends before or includes the Closing Date, the Parties agree to the application of Section 6226 of the Code with respect to such imputed underpayment, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the timely making of a “push-out” election pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code, the timely filing or furnishing of all required reports and statements, and the taking of any other action, required by Section 6226 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, to push out the Tax adjustments or imputed underpayment to members and former members of the Company to whom such imputed underpayment relates. Seller will cause the resignation of the “partnership representative” and “designated individual” with respect to the Company in favor of such persons as are nominated by Buyers.

The waiver by either Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Introduction

On June 18, 2021, NGL Energy Partners LP (“we,” “us,” “our” or “the Partnership”) sold its 71.5% interest in Sawtooth Caverns LLC (“Sawtooth”) and associated assets to a group of buyers for total consideration of $70 million less estimated expenses of approximately $2.1 million. Sawtooth previously comprised a portion of the Partnership’s Liquids Logistics segment.

The following sets forth the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Partnership as of March 31, 2021 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives pro forma effect only for the sale of Sawtooth as if it had occurred on March 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations gives pro forma effect for the sale of Sawtooth as if it had occurred on April 1, 2020.

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the Partnership’s historical consolidated financial statements, which are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s historical financial statements and related notes thereto.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on certain assumptions and do not purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have been achieved if the transactions described above had occurred on the dates indicated. Moreover, the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not project the Partnership’s results of operations for any future date or period.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

See “Introduction” for more information regarding the basis of presentation for these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Transaction Accounting Adjustments

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the impact of the following transaction accounting adjustments:

A.Represents the removal of the Sawtooth assets and liabilities from the balance sheet.
B.Represents the net cash proceeds received at closing from the sale of Sawtooth for total consideration of $70 million, less estimated expenses of approximately $2.1 million.
C.Represents the pro forma non-recurring loss on the sale that would have been recorded if the Partnership had completed the sale of Sawtooth on March 31, 2021.
D.Represents the pro forma effect of eliminating the results of operations of Sawtooth for the year ended March 31, 2021 from the presentation of continuing operations.
E.Represents our general partner’s interest in the transaction accounting adjustments related to the sale of Sawtooth for the year ended March 31, 2021.

Note 3 - Earnings per Unit

Basic earnings per unit is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of units outstanding during a period. To determine net income (loss) allocated to each class of ownership, the Partnership first allocates net income (loss) in accordance with the amount of distributions made for the quarter by each class of units, if any. The remaining net income is allocated to each class of units in proportion to the weighted average number of units of such class outstanding for a period, as compared to the weighted average number of units outstanding for all classes for the period, with the exception of net losses. Net losses are allocated only to the common units.
