20

the Affiliated Transferors, shall be deemed to have accepted such EBITDA Report and waived any objection to the calculations of Adjusted EBITDA set forth therein.  In the event the Representative, on behalf of Transferors and the Affiliated Transferors, deliver such a written objection notice to HSE within such ten (10) Business Days, the Parties shall work in good faith to resolve any such disputes.  In the event any such disputes are not resolved by the Parties within thirty (30) days, such dispute shall be referred to the Referee who shall resolve any such dispute.  The Referee shall be provided such work papers and other documents and information relating to the dispute as are reasonably requested by the Referee (subject to any confidentiality agreement required by HSE).  The Referee shall be instructed to make his determination within thirty (30) days of submittal thereto.  The decision of the Referee, absent manifest error, shall be binding on the Parties.

21

Agreement.  If HST or any Company subsequently determines that HST or such Company is required to deduct and withhold any amounts payable under this Agreement, HST shall provide the Representative reasonable notice of such withholding and HST shall cooperate with the Representative to reduce (or eliminate) the amount of required withholdings withheld under the Code or other provision of applicable Tax Law.  To the extent there is any withholding, all amounts withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as being timely paid.

(i)                                     Transferors, at their sole cost and expense, shall (A) prepare and timely file (or cause each Company to prepare and timely file) all Tax Returns of such Company due (after taking into account all appropriate extensions) on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Returns”); (B) timely pay (or cause each Company to timely pay) all Taxes that are shown as payable with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Returns.  All Pre-Closing Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with existing procedures, practices, and accounting methods of such Company and, to the extent applicable, the conventions provided for in accordance with Section 5.11(b)(iii).

(ii)                                  HSE shall cause each Company to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns of such Company due after the Closing Date (the “HSE Prepared Returns”).  To the extent that a HSE Prepared Return relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, such Tax Return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with existing procedures and practices and accounting methods of such Company, and, to the extent applicable, the conventions provided in Section 5.11(b)(iii), unless, as reasonably determined by HSE, such procedure, practice, accounting method or other contemplated treatment does not have sufficient legal support to avoid the imposition of penalties, in which case, such HSE Prepared Return shall be prepared in accordance with any good faith method determined by HSE after consulting with Transferors. If a HSE Prepared Return relates to income Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or shows an Indemnified Tax, HSE shall submit such HSE Prepared Return to Transferors for Transferors’ review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of such HSE Prepared Return.  HSE shall incorporate any reasonable comments made by Transferors in the final Tax Return prior to filing.  No failure or delay of HSE in providing HSE Prepared Returns for Transferors to review shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of Transferors pursuant to this Agreement other than to the extent any Transferor is prejudiced by such failure or delay.

45

(iii)                               Transferors, HST and HSE agree with respect to certain Tax matters as follows:

(A)                               to the extent permissible under applicable Laws, to elect to have each Tax year of each Company that includes the Closing Date end as of the end of the Closing Date;

(B)                               to treat all interest and other earnings on the Transferor Escrow Amount as income of HSE and HST in accordance with the transition rule set forth in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8(h)(2); and

(C)                               unless otherwise required by applicable Law, to treat all indemnification payments under this Agreement paid by Transferors as adjustments to the total consideration payable hereunder for all relevant Tax purposes.

(c)                                  Apportionment of Taxes.  For purposes of determining the amount of Taxes (or Tax refunds) that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of any Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date) the Parties agree as follows:

(i)                                     In the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount of Taxes (or Tax refunds) attributable to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the Taxes (or Tax refund) for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

(ii)                                  In the case of all other Taxes (including income Taxes, employment Taxes, and sales and use Taxes), the amount of Taxes (or Tax refunds) attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if a separate return was filed for the period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology”; provided, however, that for purposes of clause (ii), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions and the effects of graduated rates) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the mechanics set forth in clause (i) for periodic Taxes.

(iii)                               All Taxes in the form of interest or penalties that relate to Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) shall be treated as occurring in a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) whether such items are incurred, accrued, assessed or similarly charged on, before or after the Closing Date.

(d)                                 Cooperation on Tax Matters.  HSE, HST, each Company, Representative and Transferors shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) (i) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return of each Company; (ii) assist in any audit or other proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of each Company (whether or not a Tax Contest); (iii)

46

make available any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of each Company; (iv) provide any information necessary or reasonably requested to allow HSE or each Company to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other Laws; and (v) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax; provided that the Party requesting information or assistance under this Section 5.11(d) shall reimburse the other Party for its reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred in supplying such information or assistance.   Without limiting the foregoing, within forty-five (45) days following the Closing, Representative shall provide to HSE a schedule that sets forth (i) the adjusted tax basis in the assets of the Company (as determined immediately prior to Closing) and (ii) the depreciation life, method, conventions and history of each such asset (the “Tax Basis Schedule”).

(e)                                  Tax Contests.

(i)                                     If any Governmental Entity issues to any Company (A) a written notice of its intent to audit or conduct another legal proceeding with respect to Taxes of such Company for any period ending on or before the Closing Date or (B) a written notice of deficiency for Taxes for any period ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Tax Claim”), HSE shall notify Representative of its receipt of such communication from the Governmental Entity within thirty (30) days of receipt.  No failure or delay of HSE in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of Transferors pursuant to this Agreement unless any Transferor is prejudiced by such failure or delay.

(ii)                                  Representative shall control any audit or other legal proceeding in respect of any Tax Return or Taxes of any Company (a “Tax Contest”) that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, that with respect to any such Tax Contest (A) Representative shall control such Tax Contest in good faith, (B) all costs and expenses in connection with such Tax Contest shall be allocated among the Transferors in Representative’s discretion, (C) Representative shall keep HSE reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest, (D) HSE, at the sole cost and expense of HSE, shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest and (E) Transferors shall not settle or otherwise resolve any Tax Contest without the permission of HSE (which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned).

(iii)                               HSE and each Company shall control any other Tax Contest; provided, however, that (A) HSE shall keep Representative reasonably informed regarding the status of any such Tax Contest that relates to a Straddle Period, (B) any Transferor, at the sole cost and expense of such Transferor, shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest to the extent it relates to a Straddle Period and (C) HSE shall not allow any Company to settle or otherwise resolve any Tax Contest if such settlement or other resolution relates to Taxes for a Straddle Period without the permission of Representative (which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned).

47

(f)                                   Tax Treatment; Purchase Price Allocation.

(i)                                     For income Tax purposes, the Parties agree that the transactions contemplated hereby shall be treated as a contribution by OWL of the assets of each Company to NGL in exchange for the NGL Units in an exchange described in Section 721(a) of the Code.  The Parties agree to treat HSE’s payment of the Actual Earn-Out Amount, if any, as a distribution by NGL under Section 731 of the Code.  The Parties further agree that the initial capital account of each NGL Unit as of the Closing Date shall equal the capital account of a common unit representing a limited partner interest in NGL (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the forbearance of any distribution described in Section 5.12) that is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NGL,” and that such initial capital account shall be increased by the Actual Earn-Out Amount, if any.

(ii)                                  Within sixty (60) days of the final determination of the Final Net Working Capital, as finally determined, HSE shall deliver to Representative a schedule allocating the total consideration payable hereunder (and the relevant liabilities of each Company) among the assets of each Company (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”).  The Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code and consistent with the methodologies set forth in Section 5.11(f)(ii) of the Transferor Disclosure Schedule.  HSE and each Transferor shall file all Tax Returns (and cause their respective Affiliates and persons that are treated as owning the shares of any Company for income Tax purposes to file all Tax Returns) consistently with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule (as appropriately adjusted) and shall not take any position during the course of any audit or other legal proceeding that is inconsistent with such election, forms, or schedule, unless required by a determination of the applicable Governmental Entity that is final.

(g)                                  Tax Sharing Agreements.  Transferors agree that all agreements by and among any Company and other related parties with respect to the sharing of Taxes and Tax benefits shall be cancelled prior to the Closing Date such that such Company has no obligation thereunder.

(h)                                 Tax Refunds.

(i)                                     Subject to Section 5.11(h)(iii), all refunds of Taxes (other than refunds of Transfer Taxes, which shall be allocated in the same manner as Transfer Taxes are allocated under Section 5.11(a)) of any Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date as determined in accordance with the same principles provided for in Section 5.11(c)) (whether in the form of cash received from the applicable Governmental Entity or a direct credit against Taxes otherwise payable for any Tax period (or portion of a Straddle Period) beginning on or after the Closing Date) shall be for the benefit of the Transferors.

(ii)                                  To the extent HSE, HST or any Company receives a refund that is for the benefit of the Transferors, HSE shall pay to OWL the amount of such refund (without interest other than interest received from the Governmental Entity), net of any Taxes (assuming HSE and its Affiliates are subject to individual income Tax rates) and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that HSE, HST or any Company or any of their

48

Affiliates incur (or has or will incur) with respect to such refund (and related interest).  The net amount due to Transferors shall be payable fifteen (15) days after receipt of the refund from the applicable Governmental Entity (or, if the refund is in the form of direct credit, fifteen (15) days after filing the Tax Return claiming such credit).

(iii)                               Nothing in this Section 5.11(h) shall require HSE to make any payment with respect to any refund for a Tax (and such refunds shall be for the benefit of HSE or the applicable Company) that is with respect to (A) any refund of Tax resulting from the payments of Taxes by HSE or any Company made on or after Closing Date to the extent Transferors have not indemnified HSE or each Company for such Taxes or (B) any refund for Tax that is reflected as a current asset (or offset to a current liability) in the computation of Final Net Working Capital, as finally determined, or (C) to the extent that such refund gives rise to a payment obligation by any Company to any Person (other than an Affiliate) under applicable law or pursuant to a provision of a Contract or other agreement entered (or assumed) by any Company on or prior to the Closing Date.

(i)                                     With respect to the assets that are deemed contributed by any Company to NGL under Section 5.11(f)(i), HSE, HST and NGL shall not transfer any such assets or any of the equity of such Company in a transaction in which gain is recognized for federal tax purposes on or prior to July 1, 2014.

5.12                        Distribution Waiver.  Each Transferor covenants and agrees, as a condition precedent to the performance of HSE’s obligations hereunder, that it shall execute and deliver at Closing a waiver and forbearance agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to NGL providing for the following:  such Transferor shall waive any right to receive any distribution declared and paid by NGL on the NGL Units in the fiscal quarter of NGL in which the Closing Date occurs, but such Transferor shall be entitled to receive its partial pro rata share (as hereafter defined) of any distribution declared and paid on the NGL Units in the immediately following fiscal quarter of NGL.  For purposes hereof, “partial pro rata share” shall mean (x) the aggregate consecutive days that a Transferor owned NGL Units during such fiscal quarter in which the Closing Date occurred divided by (y) the aggregate number of days in such fiscal quarter.

5.13                        Securities Restrictions.

(a)                                 Each Transferor agrees not to, and to cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly:

(i)                                     transfer any legal or beneficial interest in any NGL Units or other securities issued by NGL in respect of such NGL Units in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities Law; or

(ii)                                  except as otherwise agreed by NGL and as contemplated by Section 3.24(a), transfer any legal or beneficial interest in the NGL Units prior to the occurrence of the “payable date” for the quarterly distribution declared and made in connection with the fiscal quarter in which the Closing Date occurs.

49

5.14                        Restrictive Legends.  Each Transferor acknowledges and agrees that any certificate representing any NGL Units issued to such Transferor pursuant to this Agreement shall bear the following restrictive legend:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.  THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE PARTNERSHIP THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR THE SUBMISSION OF SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE PARTNERSHIP TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER SHALL NOT BE IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

5.15                        Operation of Business During Earn-Out Period.  (a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that material inducements to each Transferor entering into this Agreement and each Affiliated Transferor entering into the Affiliate Transfer Agreements were (i) their ability to achieve the Maximum Holdback Earn-Out Amount; and (ii) the NGL Group Entities enabling the management, employees and contractors of each Company, Transferors and each of the Affiliated Transferors in existence prior to the Closing to operate each Acquired Business during the Earn-Out Period in a materially similar manner as such Acquired Businesses had been operated immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement.  Accordingly, HSE covenants and agrees, and agrees to cause each of the NGL Group Entities and their respective Affiliates, subject in all respects to the exercise of applicable fiduciary duties, to use their respective good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to preserve, maintain and protect the Acquired Businesses purchased pursuant to this Agreement and each of the Affiliate Transfer Agreements, and to assist ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in their efforts to achieve the Maximum Holdback Earn-Out Amount.  In furtherance of that covenant, during the earlier of (x) the expiration of the Earn-Out Period or (b) such date as the Maximum Holdback Earn-out Amount is paid pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, the NGL Group Entities covenant and agree, and agree to cause each of their respective Affiliates, to (subject in all respects to the exercise of applicable fiduciary duties):

(i)                                     maintain separate accounting of the Acquired Business together with each other Acquired Business (as defined in the respective Affiliate Transfer Agreements) for purposes of determining Adjusted EBITDA and the Actual Earn-Out Amount;

(ii)                                  continue to operate the Acquired Business in a commercially reasonable manner materially consistent with the lawful practices conducted by Transferors and each Company prior to Closing;

(iii)                               not transfer the equity interests in any Affiliated Companies (other than to an Affiliate of HSE) or dispose of all or a material portion of the assets or operation of the Acquired Business to an unaffiliated third party (other than inventory and hydrocarbons in the ordinary course of business materially consistent with the manner as such Acquired Business had been operated immediately prior to the execution

50

and delivery of this Agreement) or effectuate a liquidation or winding up of the Acquired Business;

(iv)                              not permit any Company (or any permitted affiliated third party successor of the Acquired Business or the assets of any Company) to enter into any transaction other than in the ordinary course of business and on arms-length terms (unless such transaction will not materially adversely affect the Business);

(v)                                 not take any action that has the primary purpose of reducing the amount of Adjusted EBITDA or the Actual Earn-Out Amount to be paid to Transferors and the Affiliated Transferors, including diverting any revenue of any Company (or any permitted affiliated third party successor of the Acquired Business or the assets of any Company) away from the Affiliated Companies; provided, the NGL Group Entities shall not be deemed in breach of this subsection (v) with respect to the sale or other transfer of liquids, hydrocarbon and other materials in conjunction with Diverted Product Revenues as contemplated in the definition of “Adjusted EBITDA”;

(vi)                              not enter into any transaction between any Affiliated Company, on the one hand and any other Affiliate of HSE, on the other hand resulting in any Diverted Product Revenues other than on an arms-length basis pursuant to the best rates reasonably available to such Affiliated Company in the marketplace from third parties at the time of such transaction giving effect to geographic location, volume and product quality;

(vii)                           maintain an aggregate number of qualified sales and marketing personnel reasonably required to service the Affiliated Companies (on a non-exclusive basis) in accordance with commercially reasonable standards;

(viii)                        not allocate more than $5,000 per month of general corporate and administrative costs and expenses to each Affiliated Company (provided, direct operating costs and expenses actually incurred by an Affiliated Company shall be permitted); and

(ix)                              provide the Representative and  its accountants, attorneys and other representatives (subject to Section 5.2) with general access to the properties, assets, books and records of the Affiliated Companies and otherwise relating to the Adjusted EBITDA; provided, that such access is during normal “operating” hours of the Affiliated Companies and does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Affiliated Companies.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to require HSE or any Company to (i) make any capital expenditures or incur any Indebtedness outside the ordinary course of business materially consistent with the manner as such Acquired Business had been operated immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (ii) initiate any lawsuits or claims against any customer or vendor, or (iii) change or modify the existing business practices and policies of HSE or any Company to the extent that such practices and policies do not materially conflict with the provisions of this Section 5.15 or (iv) enter into any employment agreement or similar agreement with any Person.

51

(c)                                  Add-on Transactions.  In addition to, and without limitation of, the rights of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the NGL Group Entities and their respective Affiliates under the Development Agreement, during the Earn-Out Period (so long as the Maximum Holdback Earn-Out Amount has not previously been paid pursuant to Section 2.3 and with the prior written consent of HSE (which may or may not be granted by HSE in its discretion after due consideration for competitive effects on its then-existing Business, strategic goals and qualitative aspects thereof)), Representative may, at the sole cost and expense of the Transferor and the Affiliated Transferors who are Affiliates of OWL, cause to be developed or acquired additional salt water disposal ▇▇▇▇▇ within the Eagle Ford Territory (including, without limitation, an OWL-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Well (as hereafter defined) (the “Additional SWD Assets”).  All fees, costs and expenses of acquiring or developing such Additional SWD Assets shall be paid and satisfied in full by (or on behalf thereof) the Transferors and Affiliated Transferors who are Affiliates of OWL; provided, however, as a condition precedent to the development or acquisition of any such Additional SWD Asset hereunder, Representative shall cause all right, title and interest in such Additional SWD Assets to be held and vested in the name of HSE or its designee, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and HSE shall maintain all management and control over such Additional SWD Assets (subject to Section 5.15).  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Development Agreement to the contrary, in no event will any of the NGL Group Entities (or any Affiliates thereof) purchase or otherwise obtain title to a salt water disposal well in the Eagle Ford Territory pursuant to the Development Agreement or otherwise from ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or any Affiliate thereof) during the Earn-Out Period without first offering the Representative the right (exercisable within thirty (30) days after notice thereto) to cause such salt water disposal well to become an Additional SWD Asset pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 15.5(c) (each such salt water disposal well, an “OWL-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Well”).  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Development Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that  ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of his Affiliates participates in connection with such development or acquisition as contemplated pursuant to this Section 5.15(c), such participation shall not, in of itself, be deemed to be a violation of such Person’s duties and obligations under the Development Agreement.

5.16                        ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Matters.  As promptly as practicable and in any event not more than five (5) days following the Execution Date, each of Transferors and the NGL Group Entities (or their respective Affiliates, as applicable) shall file with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, as applicable, the required notification and report forms pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act and will as promptly as practicable furnish any supplemental information that may be requested in connection therewith.  Each Transferor and HSE, or the applicable filing entity, will request expedited treatment (i.e., early termination) of such filing.  Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make or modify all other filings and submissions on a prompt and timely basis in connection with the filings required by this Section.  Each of Transferors and the NGL Group Entities (or their respective Affiliates, as applicable) shall bear their own costs and expenses relating to compliance with this Section 5.16.

5.17                        Managers’, Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.  From and after the Closing Date, each Company shall, to the maximum extent permissible under then applicable Law in effect at the time, indemnify past and present members, managers, officers, directors and employees of such Company (in all of their capacities) (the “Covered Parties”) to the same extent required by the certificate of formation and the limited liability company agreement of

52

such Company as is in effect on the Execution Date and delivered to HSE.  It is expressly agreed that the Covered Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.17.  In the event any claim or claims are asserted or made pursuant to the indemnification rights set forth in this Section 5.17, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until the disposition of any and all such claims.  Any determination required to be made with respect to whether a Covered Party’s conduct complies with the applicable standard of conduct which governs the availability of such indemnification shall be made by independent legal counsel mutually approved by the Covered Party and HSE, such approval to not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(i)                                     a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.1 through 3.23 or of any Transferor contained in Section 3.24 or Section 3.25; provided, however, that with respect to a breach of any such representation or warranty

55

contained in Section 3.13 (other than Section 3.13(d)(last sentence only), (h), (i) or (j)), Transferors’ indemnification obligation shall be limited to those Damages attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date;

(ii)                                  any Company Unpaid Transaction Costs (excluding such costs taken into account in the Final Cost Adjustments);

(iii)                               any Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness taken into account in the Final Cost Adjustments);

(iv)                              any Indemnified Taxes;

(v)                                 whether or not disclosed in this Agreement or on Section 3.9 of the Transferor Disclosure Schedule, any Liability of any Company related to any actual or alleged violation or Liability arising under any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits, including, without limitation, any Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials occurring prior to or continuing on the Closing Date, and any Environmental Conditions arising out of events or circumstances occurring prior to or continuing on the Closing Date; and

(vi)                              a breach of any such Transferor’s or any Company’s covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, provided, however, that no representation or warranty of any Transferor or the Company set forth in Article III shall be deemed to be a covenant or agreement of such Transferor or the Company, respectively, for purposes of this Article VII.

THIS INDEMNIFICATION IS EXPRESSLY INTENDED TO APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY ON THE PART OF ANY OF THE NGL INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

(b)                                 The obligation of each Transferor to indemnify the NGL Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a) is subject to the following limitations:

(i)                                     In no event shall such Transferor’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the NGL Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a) exceed (x) the amount set forth next to such Transferor’s name on Schedule 7.2(b) hereto plus (y) 80% of the aggregate amount, if any, paid to such Transferor pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof and each Affiliate Transfer Agreement.

(ii)                                  In no event shall the aggregate obligation of all Transferors to indemnify the NGL Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) and Section 7.2(a)(v) of this Agreement and the Affiliate Transfer Agreements exceed, collectively, $5,000,000 (the “Cap”) in the aggregate; provided, in no event shall the Cap be applicable to any breach of a Fundamental Representation or a claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

56

(iii)                               No Transferor shall have any obligation or liability under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(a)(v) unless and until the aggregate amount of the Damages suffered by the NGL Indemnified Parties for which the NGL Indemnified Parties are entitled to Indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) and Section 7.2(a)(v) of this Agreement and/or the Affiliate Transfer Agreements exceeds, collectively,  $250,000 in the aggregate (the “Transferor Basket”); provided, however, that (A) once the aggregate amount of such Damages suffered exceeds the Transferor Basket, Transferors shall be obligated to indemnify the NGL Indemnified Parties for all such Damages (not only the amounts that exceed the Transferor Basket); (B) for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred under Article III, such representations and warranties shall be read and interpreted as if the words “Material Adverse Effect,” “in all material respects” and other materiality qualifications were not contained therein; and (C)  in no event shall Transferors be liable for any single claim for indemnification (or group of related claims) which is equal to or less than $10,000 (the “Minimum Claim Amount”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Transferor Basket nor the Minimum Claim Amount shall be applicable to any breach of a Fundamental Representation or a claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(iv)                              Such Transferor shall be obligated to indemnify the NGL Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a) only for those claims giving rise to Damages of the NGL Indemnified Parties as to which an NGL Indemnified Party has given Representative written notice prior to the end of the applicable Survival Period, if any.  Any written notice delivered by an NGL Indemnified Party to Representative with respect to Damages of the NGL Indemnified Parties shall set forth with as much specificity as is reasonably practicable the basis of the claim for Damages of the NGL Indemnified Parties and, to the extent reasonably practicable, a reasonable estimate of the amount of Damages incurred (or reasonably likely to be incurred by the NGL Indemnified Party but for the passage of time).

(v)                                 [Intentionally Blank].

(vi)                              Transferors shall have no indemnification obligation under Section 7.2(a) with respect to any Damages to the extent that such Damages were included as a liability in the computation of Final Net Working Capital or were taken into account in determining the Final Cost Adjustments, and all such Damages shall be disregarded in determining the applicability of the Transferor Basket.

(vii)                           No Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party to the extent of any loss that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined in a final, nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Indemnified Party.  The Transferor’s indemnification obligations under Article VII are subject to the general duty of mitigation of HSE and HST under applicable Law.

7.3                               NGL Group Entities’ Agreement to Indemnify.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from and after the Closing until the end of the applicable Survival Period, the NGL Group Entities shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless

57

Transferors and their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, directors, managers, officers, employees, controlling persons, partners, members, the OWL Partners, stockholders, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Transferor Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Damages asserted against or incurred by any Transferor Indemnified Party as a result of or arising out of or under (a) a breach of any representation or warranty of any of the NGL Group Entities contained in Article IV or (b) a breach of any covenant or agreement of any of the NGL Group Entities contained in this Agreement.

THIS INDEMNIFICATION IS EXPRESSLY INTENDED TO APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY ON THE PART OF ANY OF THE TRANSFEROR INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

The NGL Group Entities shall be obligated to indemnify Transferor Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.3 only for those claims giving rise to Damages of Transferor Indemnified Parties as to which a Transferor Indemnified Party has given the NGL Group Entities written notice prior to the end of the Survival Period, if any.  Any written notice delivered by a Transferor Indemnified Party to the NGL Group Entities with respect to Damages of Transferor Indemnified Parties shall set forth with as much specificity as is reasonably practicable the basis of the claim for Damages of Transferor Indemnified Parties and, to the extent reasonably practicable, a reasonable estimate of the amount thereof.

7.4                               Indemnification Procedures.

(a)                                 Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such omission.  In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Article VII for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7.4, or if the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7.4 but fails diligently to prosecute the proceedings related to such claim as herein provided, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (if the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder), such claim by all appropriate proceedings.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any

58

pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought under this Article VII (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim, (ii) does not include any non-monetary award and (iii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

(b)                                 In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a third-party claim, the Indemnified Party shall transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, an estimate of the amount of damages attributable to such claim to the extent feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the claim specified by the Indemnified Party in the Indemnity Notice shall be deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.

(c)                                  In determining the amount of any Damages for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VII, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds recoverable by the Indemnified Party and (ii) all amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third Persons.  The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under its insurance policies for any Damages prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement; provided, in no event shall the Indemnified Party be required to initiate litigation or arbitration procedures to recover under such policies.

(d)                                 The date on which notification of a claim for indemnification is received as provided in Section 7.4(a) or (b) by the Indemnifying Party shall determine whether such claim is timely made.

(e)                                  To the extent there is any inconsistency between this Section 7.4 and Section 5.11(e) as to any Tax matter, Section 5.11(e) shall control.

7.5                               No Duplication.  Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.  In this regard, there shall be no duplication of recovery under Article VII.

7.6                               Recourse against Transferors.  Subject to the limitations contained in this Article VII, any claims for indemnification by a NGL Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.2(a) (other than with respect to a claim for breach of Section 2.2(c) or with respect to a claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation), shall be paid first, from the Escrow Account pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement; second, by offsetting against the portion of the Actual Earn-Out Amount (if any) due and payable to Transferors as of the date of the claim; third, by offsetting against any amounts due and owing by an NGL Indemnified Party to any Transferor as of the date of the claim pursuant to Section 7.3; fourth, in cash by Transferors; and fifth, pursuant

59

to the Affiliate Guaranty; provided, with respect to a claim for indemnification by a NGL Indemnified Party for breach of Section 2.2(c) or with respect to a claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation, such NGL Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to first seek recovery from the Escrow Account.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (a) prior to any NGL Indemnified Party making any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII with respect to the Affiliate Guaranty, such NGL Indemnified Party must first make a written claim against OWL pursuant to this Agreement and pursue satisfaction thereof in good faith, and such claim shall not have been satisfied following forty-five (45) days after delivery of such claim and (b) in the event that the Damages pursuant to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII do not exceed the aggregate Applicable Maximum Guaranteed Amount (as defined in the Affiliate Guaranty) of all General Partner Guarantors (as defined in the Affiliate Guaranty), prior to any NGL Indemnified Party making any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII against any Limited Partner Guarantor (as defined in the Affiliate Guaranty) pursuant to the Affiliate Guaranty, such NGL Indemnified Party must first make a written claim against the General Partner Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the Affiliate Guaranty and pursue satisfaction thereof in good faith, and such claim shall not have been satisfied following forty-five (45) days after delivery of such claim.

7.7                               No Exemplary or Punitive Damages.  IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THIS ARTICLE VII OR OTHERWISE IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH PARTY SUFFERS SUCH DAMAGES WITH RESPECT TO AN UNAFFILIATED THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, IN WHICH EVENT SUCH DAMAGES SHALL BE RECOVERABLE.

7.8                               Exclusive Remedy.  From and after the Closing, except in the event of fraud or intentional misrepresentation (in which case the Parties shall be entitled to exercise all of their rights, and seek all Damages available to them, under law or equity), the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or failure to be true and correct, or alleged breach or failure to be true and correct, of any representation or warranty or any covenant or agreement in this Agreement, shall be indemnification in accordance with this Article VII.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contribution, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that they may have against the Transferors or the NGL Group Entities, as the case may be, arising under or based upon any federal, state or local Law (including any such Law relating to environmental matters or arising under or based upon any securities Law, common Law or otherwise) (except in the event of fraud or intentional misrepresentation).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.8 shall not (a) operate to interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of this Agreement providing for the resolution of certain disputes by the Referee or (b) limit the rights of the Parties to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief).

7.9                               Liquidated Damages.   The Parties covenant and agree that in the event of a breach of Section 5.15(a)(iii) of this Agreement or the Affiliated Transfer Agreements by HSE or HST, Transferors and the Affiliated Transferors shall be entitled to liquidated damages (which shall be the sole and exclusive remedy hereunder for any such breach thereof) in an aggregate amount under this Agreement and such Affiliated Transfer Agreements equal to the greater of (x)

60

the Actual Earn-Out Amount (provided, for purposes of such calculation, the “Earn-Out Period” shall be deemed to begin on the Closing Date and terminate on the date of such breach) and (y) the Pro Rated Earn-Out Amount.  For purposes hereof, “Pro Rated Earn-Out Amount” shall mean an amount equal to (1)(A) the number of days remaining in the Earn-Out Period following the date of such breach divided by (B)180 multiplied by (2) the Maximum Holdback Earn-Out Amount.  Any amounts payable hereunder shall be allocated pro rata among Transferors and the other Affiliated Transferors in accordance with the percentages set forth on Section 2.3 of the Transferor Disclosure Schedule.

ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION

8.1                               Termination of Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated at any time before the Closing as follows:

(a)                                 By the mutual written agreement of Representative and HSE;

(b)                                 By either Representative or HSE if any Governmental Entity shall have issued a final and nonappealable order, injunction or other legal restraint permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) shall have complied with its obligations in Sections 5.4, 5.6 and 5.16;

(c)                                  By Representative if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of the NGL Group Entities, which breach or inaccuracy, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 that is not capable of being satisfied or cured by the End Date;

(d)                                 By HSE if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of Transferors, which breach or inaccuracy, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.3 that is not capable of being satisfied or cured by the End Date;

(e)                                  By Representative or HSE, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been consummated on or prior to October 31, 2013 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) shall not be available to any such Party whose failure to perform or observe in any material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement proximately caused the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or before the End Date; or

(f)                                   By Representative or HSE, if any Affiliate Transfer Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

61

8.2                               Effect of Certain Terminations.  In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VIII, all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate, except the provisions of Section 5.2(b), the last two sentences of Section 5.4, Section 5.7, the last sentence of Section 5.16, this Section 8.2 and Article IX shall survive such termination; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from any liability for any intentional or willful breach by such Party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement and all rights and remedies of a non-breaching Party under this Agreement in the case of such intentional or willful breach, at law or in equity, shall be preserved.

8.3                               Enforcement of this Agreement.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that an award of money damages would be inadequate for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and any such breach would cause the non-breaching Parties irreparable harm.  Accordingly, the Parties agree that prior to the termination of this Agreement, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by one of the Parties, the other Parties to the fullest extent permitted by law, will also be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance; provided the Party or Parties seeking such equitable relief are not in material default hereunder.  Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but, subject to Section 7.8, will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to each of the Parties.

ARTICLE IX

63

THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE BREACH THEREOF (A “DISPUTE”), SHALL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES (THE “RULES”).  THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE COMMENCED BY WRITTEN REQUEST OF ANY PARTY, MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NOTICE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND SHALL BE CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR MUTUALLY AGREEABLE TO REPRESENTATIVE AND HSE APPOINTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN DALLAS, TEXAS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.  THE AWARD OF THE ARBITRATOR MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ANY DISPUTE BE RESOLVED AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE AND, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER, AGREE TO NEGOTIATE IN GOOD FAITH FOR A PERIOD OF TWENTY-ONE (21) DAYS PRIOR TO SENDING THE AFOREMENTIONED WRITTEN REQUEST TO COMMENCE ARBITRATION.  TO THAT END, THE ARBITRATOR, BY ACCEPTING APPOINTMENT, UNDERTAKES TO EXERT HIS OR HER BEST EFFORTS TO CONDUCT THE PROCESS SO AS TO ISSUE AN AWARD WITHIN THREE MONTHS OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ARBITRATOR, BUT FAILURE TO MEET THAT TIMETABLE SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF THE AWARD.  UNLESS THE PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE AT THE TIME OF THE PROCEDURAL CONFERENCE WITH THE ARBITRATOR, THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON THE FOLLOWING SCHEDULE: (A) THE ARBITRATOR SHALL CONVENE A PROCEDURAL CONFERENCE WITHIN ONE WEEK OF HIS OR HER APPOINTMENT, AT WHICH ALL DATES FOR THE ARBITRATION WILL BE ESTABLISHED, (B) THE PARTIES EXPECT THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT CAN BE CONDUCTED WITHOUT DISCOVERY; IN ANY EVENT, THE ARBITRATOR (1) MAY PERMIT EACH SIDE NO MORE THAN FOUR DEPOSITIONS (INCLUDING ANY DEPOSITIONS OF EXPERTS), WHICH DEPOSITIONS MAY NOT EXCEED EIGHT HOURS EACH, ONE SET OF TEN INTERROGATORIES (INCLUSIVE OF SUB-PARTS) AND ONE SET OF FIVE DOCUMENT REQUESTS (INCLUSIVE OF SUB-PARTS), (2) SHALL NOT PERMIT ANY REQUESTS FOR ADMISSIONS AND (3) FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN, VERY NARROW AND TARGETED REQUESTS FOR DOCUMENTS IN NO EVENT TO EXCEED THE DISCOVERY LIMITATIONS UNDER THE IBA RULES ON THE TAKING OF EVIDENCE IN INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION, TO BE ADDRESSED BY ONE PARTY TO THE OTHER, ON A SCHEDULE TO BE SET BY THE ARBITRATOR, (C) AT THE PROCEDURAL CONFERENCE, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL FIX A DATE FOR SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSIONS BY THE PARTIES NOT LATER THAN 60 DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF THE PROCEDURAL CONFERENCE; SUCH SUBMISSIONS SHALL SET FORTH THE CASE OF EACH PARTY IN THE FORM OF WRITTEN WITNESS STATEMENTS, DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE, AND A BRIEF, (D) THE ARBITRATOR SHALL FIX A DATE FOR REPLY SUBMISSIONS BY EACH PARTY NOT LATER THAN 10 DAYS FOLLOWING THE PRINCIPAL SUBMISSIONS OF EACH PARTY, (E) THE ARBITRATOR SHALL SET A DATE FOR A HEARING OF UP TO FIVE DAYS TO PERMIT THE PARTIES TO CROSS EXAMINE WITNESSES WHOSE TESTIMONY IS PROFFERED BY ANOTHER PARTY AND TO HEAR ARGUMENT AND (F) THE ARBITRATOR SHALL ISSUE HIS OR HER AWARD WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE EXISTENCE OF ANY DISPUTE, ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE SUCH DISPUTE, AND ALL SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED BY ANY PARTY FROM ANY OTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH EITHER SHALL BE TREATED AS CONFIDENTIAL, AND SHALL NOT BE DISCLOSED TO ANY THIRD PARTY EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW, COMPELLED BY LEGAL PROCESS OR REQUIRED TO ENFORCE ANY AWARD OF THE ARBITRATOR.

(b)                                 Waiver of Right to Jury Trial.  THE PARTIES SHALL, AND HEREBY DO, IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, CLAIM, OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (EITHER ALLEGED BREACH OR ENFORCEMENT).

(c)                                  Expenses.  The costs and expenses of the prevailing party in any arbitration referenced above (as determined by the Arbitrator in good faith) shall be borne by the non-prevailing party.  Any amounts not paid within five (5) Business Days of such award shall accrue interest at a rate of 18% per annum until paid.

9.3                               Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers.  This Agreement, the exhibits and schedules hereto, the Transaction Documents, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Affiliate Transfer Agreements and each other agreement delivered pursuant thereto constitute the entire agreement between and among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties (including the terms of the letter of intent, dated June 10, 2013, between Oilfield Water Lines, LP and NGL Energy Partners LP), and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements between or among the Parties in connection with the subject matter hereof and thereof except as set forth specifically herein or therein or contemplated hereby or thereby.  No supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound thereby.  The failure of a Party to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed or constitute a waiver of such right or remedy in the future.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (regardless of whether similar), nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

9.4                               Binding Effect and Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties, the Transferor Indemnified Parties (solely with respect to Article VII) and the NGL Indemnified Parties (solely with respect to Article VIX) and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights, benefits or obligations hereunder, except as set forth in Article VII.  No Party hereto may assign, transfer, dispose of or otherwise alienate this Agreement or any of its rights, interests
