The obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, if (i) since the time of execution of this Agreement or the earlier respective dates as of which information is given in such Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectuses, the Prospectus and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, there has been any change or any development involving a prospective change in the business, properties, management, financial condition or results of operations of the Partnership and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, the effect of which change or development is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statements, the Preliminary Prospectuses, the Prospectus and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, or (ii) since the time of execution of this Agreement, there shall have occurred: (A) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the NYSE, the NYSE Amex or the NASDAQ; (B) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Partnership’s securities on the Primary Stock Exchange; (C) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (D) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or a declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war; or (E) any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (A) through (E), is in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material or adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statements, the Preliminary Prospectuses, the Prospectus and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, or (iii) since the time of execution of this Agreement, there shall have occurred any downgrading, or any notice or announcement shall have been given or made of: (X) any intended or potential downgrading or (Y) any watch, review or possible change that does not indicate an affirmation or improvement in the rating accorded any securities of or guaranteed by the Partnership or any Subsidiary by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as that term is defined in Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act.

If the Representatives elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 9, the Partnership, the Selling Unitholders and each other Underwriter shall be notified promptly in writing.

If the sale to the Underwriters of the Units, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement, or if such sale is not carried out because the Partnership or the Selling Unitholders shall be unable to comply with

any of the terms of this Agreement, the Partnership and the Selling Unitholders shall not be under any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 5(l), 7 and 11 hereof), and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to the Partnership or the Selling Unitholders under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 11 hereof) or to one another hereunder.

10. Increase in Underwriters’ Commitments. Subject to Sections 8 and 9 hereof, if any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to take up and pay for the Firm Units to be purchased by it hereunder (otherwise than for a failure of a condition set forth in Section 8 hereof or a reason sufficient to justify the termination of this Agreement under the provisions of Section 9 hereof) and if the number of Firm Units which all Underwriters so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for does not exceed 10% of the total number of Firm Units, the non-defaulting Underwriters (including the Underwriters, if any, substituted in the manner set forth below) shall take up and pay for (in addition to the aggregate number of Firm Units they are obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 1 hereof) the number of Firm Units agreed to be purchased by all such defaulting Underwriters, as hereinafter provided. Such Units shall be taken up and paid for by such non-defaulting Underwriters in such amount or amounts as the Representatives may designate with the consent of each Underwriter so designated or, in the event no such designation is made, such Units shall be taken up and paid for by all non-defaulting Underwriters pro rata in proportion to the aggregate number of Firm Units set forth opposite the names of such non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule B.

Without relieving any defaulting Underwriter from its obligations hereunder, the Selling Unitholders agree with the non-defaulting Underwriters that they will not sell any Firm Units hereunder unless all of the Firm Units are purchased by the Underwriters (or by substituted Underwriters selected by the Representatives with the approval of the Partnership or selected by the Partnership with the Representatives’ approval).

If a new Underwriter or Underwriters are substituted by the Underwriters or by the Partnership for a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters in accordance with the foregoing provision, the Partnership or the Representatives shall have the right to postpone the time of purchase for a period not exceeding five business days in order that any necessary changes in the Registration Statements and the Prospectus and other documents may be effected.

The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include any Underwriter substituted under this Section 10 with like effect as if such substituted Underwriter had originally been named in Schedule B hereto.

If the aggregate number of Firm Units which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase exceeds 10% of the total number of Firm Units which all Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, and if neither the non-defaulting Underwriters nor the Partnership shall make arrangements within the five business day period stated above for the purchase of all the Firm Units which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate without further act or deed and without any liability on the part of the Partnership or the Selling Unitholders to any Underwriter and without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter to the Partnership or the Selling Unitholders. Nothing in this paragraph, and no action taken hereunder, shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

(b) Each Selling Unitholder severally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Underwriter and the Partnership, their partners, directors and officers, and any person who controls any Underwriter or the Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any Participating Affiliates, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation), which, jointly or severally, any such Underwriter or the Partnership or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statements (or in such Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Partnership), in any Prospectus, in any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances in which they were made, in the case of any Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus) not misleading, which material fact was required to be stated therein (in the case of a Registration Statement) or not contained therein (in the case of other than a Registration Statement) and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances in which they were made, in the case of any Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus) not misleading, but only with respect to any untrue statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished or confirmed in writing to the Partnership by or on behalf of such Selling Unitholder expressly for use therein, which information is limited to the information with respect to such Selling Unitholder set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus under the caption “Selling Unitholders,” or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Act) used or referred to in any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act), prepared by or on behalf of such Selling Unitholder or used or referred to by such Selling Unitholder in connection with the offering of the Units in violation of Section 6(b) (a “Selling Unitholder Free Writing Prospectus”), or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only with respect to any untrue statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished or confirmed in writing to the Partnership by or on behalf of such Selling Unitholders expressly for use therein. The liability of the Selling Unitholder under the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to an amount equal to the total net proceeds from the offering of the Units purchased under the Agreement received by the Selling Unitholder.

(c) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partnership and each Selling Unitholder, their respective directors and officers, and any person who controls the Partnership or such Selling Unitholder within the meaning of

Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Partnership, such Selling Unitholder or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information specified in Section 12 hereof furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives to the Partnership expressly for use in, the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Partnership), or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Registration Statement in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was required to be stated in such Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information specified in Section 12 hereof furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives to the Partnership expressly for use in, a Prospectus or a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d) If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against a person (an “indemnified party”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Partnership, a Selling Unitholder or an Underwriter (as applicable, the “indemnifying party”) pursuant to subsection (a), (b) or (c), respectively, of this Section 11, such indemnified party shall promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and such indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which such indemnifying party may have to the indemnified party. The indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or the indemnifying party shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party (in which case such indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such indemnifying party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel

(in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with its written consent, such indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party or parties from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this Section 11(d), then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have fully reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 11 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 11 or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership and the Selling Unitholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Units or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable Law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Partnership and the Selling Unitholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Partnership and the Selling Unitholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership and Selling Unitholders, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Units. The relative fault of the Partnership, the Selling Unitholders and the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Partnership, the Selling Unitholders or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,

access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

(f) The Partnership, the Selling Unitholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (e) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Units underwritten by such Underwriter and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damage which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ and Selling Unitholders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 11 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and sales commitments, respectively, and not joint.

(g) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 11 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Partnership and the Selling Unitholders contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, its partners, directors or officers or any person (including each partner, officer or director of such person) who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and Participating Affiliates or by or on behalf of the Partnership or the Selling Unitholders, their respective directors or officers or any person who controls the Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Units. The Partnership, each Selling Unitholder and each Underwriter agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Selling Unitholders, against any of their respective officers or directors in connection with the sale of the Units, or in connection with the Registration Statement, any Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.

12. Information Furnished by the Underwriters. The statements set forth in the last paragraph on the cover page of the Prospectus and the statements set forth in (i) the first paragraph of the subsection entitled “Underwriting Discounts and Expenses” and (ii) the subsection entitled “Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids”, in each case under the caption “Underwriting” in any Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, only insofar as such statements relate to the amount of selling concession and reallowance or to stabilization activities that may be undertaken by the Underwriters, constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of the Underwriters, as such information is referred to in Sections 3 and 11 hereof.

13. Notices. Except as otherwise herein provided, all statements, requests, notices and agreements shall be in writing or by telegram or facsimile and, if to the Underwriters, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent to Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Equity Syndicate Department, Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Syndicate Department, UBS Securities LLC, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000, Attention: Syndicate Department, and RBC Capital Markets Corporation, Three World Financial Center, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 0^xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Equity Syndicate; if to the Partnership, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent to the Partnership at the offices of the Partnership at 000 Xxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, Attention: Chief Executive Officer; and if to the Selling Unitholders, as provided on Schedule F .

14. Governing Law; Construction. This Agreement and any claim, counterclaim or dispute of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement (“Claim”), directly or indirectly, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York. The section headings in this Agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference and are not a part of this Agreement.

15. Submission to Jurisdiction. Except as set forth below, no Claim may be commenced, prosecuted or continued in any court other than the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which courts shall have jurisdiction over the adjudication of such matters, and the Partnership and each of the Selling Unitholders consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with respect thereto. The Partnership and each of the Selling Unitholders hereby consent to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any court in which any Claim arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement is brought by any third party against any Underwriter or any indemnified party. Each Underwriter, each Selling Unitholder and the Partnership (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, on behalf of its Unitholders and affiliates) waive all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Partnership and each of the Selling Unitholders agrees that a final judgment in any such action, proceeding or counterclaim brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Partnership or such Selling Unitholder, as applicable, and may be enforced in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Partnership or such Selling Unitholder is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.

16. Parties at Interest. The Agreement herein set forth has been and is made solely for the benefit of the Underwriters, the Partnership and the Selling Unitholders and to the extent provided in Section 11 hereof the controlling persons, partners, directors and officers referred to in such Section, and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, personal representatives and executors and administrators. No other person, partnership, association or corporation (including a purchaser, as such purchaser, from any of the Underwriters) shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.

17. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Partnership and the Selling Unitholders hereby acknowledge that the Underwriters are acting solely as underwriters in connection with the

purchase and sale of the Units. The Partnership and the Selling Unitholders further acknowledge that the Underwriters are acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis, and in no event do the parties intend that the Underwriters act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Partnership, the Selling Unitholders, their respective management, security holders or creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that the Underwriters may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Units, either before or after the date hereof. The Underwriters hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary or similar obligations to the Partnership and the Selling Unitholders, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the Partnership and each of the Selling Unitholders hereby confirm its understanding and agreement to that effect. The Partnership, the Selling Unitholders and the Underwriters agree that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views expressed by the Underwriters to the Partnership and the Selling Unitholders regarding such transactions, including, but not limited to, any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the Units, do not constitute advice or recommendations to the Partnership or the Selling Unitholders. The Partnership and each of the Selling Unitholders hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any claims that the Partnership or such Selling Unitholder may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty to the Partnership or such Selling Unitholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed by the parties in one or more counterparts which together shall constitute one and the same agreement among the parties.

19. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Underwriters, the Partnership and the Selling Unitholders and their successors and assigns and any successor or assign of any substantial portion of the Partnership’s, such Selling Unitholder’s and any of the Underwriters’ respective businesses and/or assets.

20. Miscellaneous. UBS, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG, is not a bank and is separate from any affiliated bank, including any U.S. branch or agency of UBS AG. Because UBS is a separately incorporated entity, it is solely responsible for its own contractual obligations and commitments, including obligations with respect to sales and purchases of securities. Securities sold, offered or recommended by UBS are not deposits, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, are not guaranteed by a branch or agency, and are not otherwise an obligation or responsibility of a branch or agency.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Lock-Up Agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into by Genesis Energy, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), Denbury Onshore, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Denbury Onshore”), Denbury Gathering & Marketing, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Denbury G&M”), and certain members of the Xxxxxxx family identified in Schedule A to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Xxxxxxx Unitholders” and, together with Denbury Onshore and Denbury G&M, the “Selling Unitholders”), Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC, Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, UBS Securities LLC and RBC Capital Markets Corporation (collectively, the “Representatives”) and the other underwriters named in Schedule B to the Underwriting Agreement, with respect to the public offering (the “Offering”) of common units representing limited partner interests of the Partnership (the “Common Units”).

In order to induce the Representatives to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned agrees that, for a period (the “Lock-Up Period”) beginning on the date hereof and ending on, and including, the date that is 60 days after the date of the final prospectus supplement relating to the Offering, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to, any Common Units or any other securities of the Partnership that are substantially similar to Common Units, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, or any warrants or other rights to purchase,

A-1

the foregoing, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Units or any other securities of the Partnership that are substantially similar to Common Units, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, or any warrants or other rights to purchase, the foregoing, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Units or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) the registration of the offer and sale of Common Units as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the sale of the Common Units to the Underwriters (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) in the Offering, (b) bona fide gifts, provided the recipient thereof agrees in writing with the Underwriters to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, (c) dispositions to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned and/or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that such trust agrees in writing with the Underwriters to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, (d) the filing of a universal shelf registration on Form S-3 on or after the date of this Lockup Agreement to register Common Units or other Partnership securities, provided that the Partnership shall not issue any Common Units thereunder until expiration of the Lock-Up Period, (e) the sale, assignment or transfer of Common Units or other Partnership securities in a private placement, provided the recipient thereof agrees in writing with the Underwriters to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, (f) the pledge of any Common Units or other Partnership securities to secure loans to such persons or entities in connection with any financing transaction to which such persons or entities are parties, provided that such Common Units or other Partnership securities may not be sold or disposed of in connection with the exercise by the lender of any remedies as a secured party until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, (g) issuances of Common Units upon the exercise of options or warrants disclosed as outstanding in a Registration Statement (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) (excluding the exhibits thereto), each Preliminary Prospectus (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) and the Prospectus (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), (h) the issuance of employee unit stock options not exercisable during the Lock-Up Period pursuant to option plans described in a Registration Statement (excluding the exhibits thereto), each Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus or (i) the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 to register Common Units under option plans disclosed in a Registration Statement, each Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean the undersigned and the spouse, any lineal descendent, father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned.

Notwithstanding the above, if (a) during the period that begins on the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days plus three (3) business days before the last day of the Lock-Up Period and ends on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Partnership occurs; or (b) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership announces that it will release earnings results during the sixteen (16) day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, then the restrictions imposed

by this Lock-Up Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days plus three (3) business days after the date on which the issuance of the earnings release or the material news or material event occurs.

The undersigned hereby confirms that the undersigned has not, directly or indirectly, taken, and hereby covenants that the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, take, any action designed, or which has constituted or will constitute or might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Partnership to facilitate the sale or resale of Common Units.

The Partnership has the power and authority necessary to execute and deliver, incur and perform any obligations it may have under the Underwriting Agreement and the Partnership Agreement. The General Partner has the power and authority necessary to act as the general partner of the Partnership.

As of the date hereof, the issued and outstanding limited partner interests of the Partnership (prior to the issuances of any Units pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or to the General Partner in connection therewith) consist of 39,585,692 Common Units and the Incentive Distribution Rights. All outstanding Common Units and the Incentive Distribution Rights and, in each case, the limited partner interests represented thereby have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, and are fully paid (to the extent required under the Partnership Agreement) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “Delaware LP Act”)).

The Units to be sold to the Underwriters by the Xxxxxxx Unitholders pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and the limited partner interests represented thereby have been duly authorized in accordance with the Partnership Agreement and, when delivered to the Underwriters against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid (to the extent required under the Partnership Agreement) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware LP Act).

B-1

The General Partner is the sole general partner of (i) the Partnership and owns (of record) a 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership and (ii) Genesis Crude Oil, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and owns (of record) a 0.01% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership. The General Partner owns a non-economic general partner interest in each of the Limited Partnership Subsidiaries. Other than the general partner interest described in the preceding sentences, the Partnership, directly or indirectly, owns (of record) 100% of the limited partner interests, limited liability company interest or other equity interest in each Significant Subsidiary. Each such general partner interest, limited partner interest, limited liability company interest and other equity interest has been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the Constitutive Documents of the Partnership and each respective Significant Subsidiary, and is fully paid (to the extent required under its respective Constitutive Documents) and non-assessable (except, with respect to those Significant Subsidiaries that are limited partnerships, as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware LP Act), and, in each case, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, charges or claims (i) in respect of which a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Codes of the State of Delaware and the State of Texas (with respect to Fuel Masters) naming the General Partner, the Partnership or any Significant Subsidiary as a “debtor” was on file as of [—], 2010 in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or as of [—], 2010 in the office of the Secretary of the State of Texas (with respect to Fuel Masters) or (ii) otherwise known to us, in the case of (i) and (ii), other than those (A) created under the Delaware LP Act, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Delaware LLC Act”), the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) or the Texas Limited Liability Company Act, (B) created in connection with the Partnership’s or the Significant Subsidiaries’ credit facilities constituting SEC Documents or that certain Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of July 18, 2008, among DG Marine, the lenders party from time to time thereto, Suntrust Bank, as Administrative Agent, and BMO Capital Markets Financing, Inc., as Syndication Agent (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “DG Marine Credit Facility”), (C) created by the Constitutive Documents of the Partnership Entities, or (D) as disclosed in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Final Prospectus Supplement.

Except as described in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus or, in the case of transfer restrictions, options to purchase, other rights to subscribe or to purchase, voting restrictions and preemptive rights, created by the Constitutive Documents of any Partnership Entity, there are no options, warrants, preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of, any equity interests in any Partnership Entity pursuant to any Constitutive Document of any Partnership Entity or any other SEC Document. Neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Units as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement gives rise under any SEC Document to any rights for or relating to the registration under the Act of any Units or other securities of any Partnership Entity other than those that either have been waived, are described in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus.

6.	The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Partnership and duly executed and delivered by the Xxxxxxx Unitholders.

Upon (i) delivery to and receipt by DTC (and registration of DTC as the registered owner) of the Units to be purchased by each Underwriter under the Underwriting Agreement, (ii) payment by such Underwriter of the purchase price for such Units specified in Section 1 of the Underwriting Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and (iii) indication by DTC in its records by book entry that such Units have been credited solely to a securities account of such Underwriter at DTC, (x) DTC will acquire all rights the transferor had or had power to transfer in such Units and will be a “protected purchaser” thereof, and (y) such Underwriter will have acquired a valid security entitlement thereto and, to the extent governed by the UCC, an action based on an adverse claim thereto may not be asserted against such Underwriter, assuming that DTC has no notice of an adverse claim to such Units and such Underwriter has no notice of an adverse claim to such security entitlement.

8.	The Partnership Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the General Partner and is a valid and legally binding agreement of the General Partner, enforceable against the General Partner in accordance with its terms.

Neither the sale of the Units by the Selling Unitholders, the execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Partnership or the performance of the actions required to be taken by the Partnership pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes or will constitute a breach or violation of or a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default) under, or results or will result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, claim, encumbrance or other security interest upon any property or assets of any of the Partnership Entities (other than those created in connection with the Partnership’s or the Partnership’s Significant Subsidiaries’ credit facilities constituting SEC Documents) pursuant to (i) any Constitutive Document of any of the Partnership Entities, (ii) any SEC Document, (iii) the Delaware LP Act, the DGCL, the Delaware LLC Act, the laws of the State of Texas or federal law or (iv) any order, judgment, decree or injunction of any court or governmental agency or body known to us directed to any of the Partnership Entities or any of their properties in a proceeding to which any of them or their property is a party; provided, however, that no opinion is expressed pursuant to this paragraph with respect to federal securities laws and other anti-fraud laws.

10.

No permit, consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, filing or qualification (“consent”) under the Delaware LP Act, the Delaware LLC Act, the DGCL, Texas law or federal law is required in connection with the sale by the Selling Unitholder of the Units, the execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Partnership or the performance of the actions required to be taken by the Partnership pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, other than (i) such consents required under state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and (ii) such consents that have been obtained or made.

11.	The statements set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of our Common Units,” “Cash Distribution Policy,” “Description

B-3

of Our Partnership Agreement,” and “Material Income Tax Consequences” in the Base Prospectus insofar as they summarize any agreement, statute or regulation or refer to statements of law or legal conclusions, are accurate and fair summaries in all material respects; and the B-4 Common Units (including the Units) and the Incentive Distribution Rights conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the captions “Price range of common units and distributions,” “Description of Our Common Units,” “Cash Distribution Policy,” and “Description of Our Partnership Agreement.”

12.

The Registration Statements (File No. 333-164483 and File No. 333-150239) were declared effective under the Act on March 12, 2010 and April 29, 2008, respectively; to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened by the SEC; and any required filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been made in the manner and within the time period required by such Rule.

13.	None of the Partnership Entities is an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

For purposes of this letter, we have assumed that each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus was deemed to be a part of and included in the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(1) under the Act as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement. Our identification of documents and information as part of the Disclosure Package has been at your request and with your approval. Such identification is for the limited purpose of making the statements set forth in this letter and is not the expression of a view by us as to whether any such information has been or should have been conveyed to investors generally or to any particular investors at any particular time or in any particular manner.

Because the primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial and accounting information, and because many determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus are of a wholly or partially nonlegal character, except as expressly set forth in paragraph 11 of this letter and paragraphs (a) and (b) set forth below, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements.

However, in the course of our acting as counsel to the Partnership in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package, we have reviewed each such document and have participated in conferences and telephone conversations with representatives of the Partnership, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Partnership, representatives of the Selling Unitholders, representatives of the Underwriters and representatives of the Underwriters’ counsel, during which conferences and conversations the contents of such documents and related matters were discussed.

B-4

Based on our participation in such conferences and conversations, our review of the documents described above, our understanding of the U.S. federal securities laws and the experience we have gained in our practice thereunder, we advise you that:

(a) Each of the Registration Statement (as of its effective date), the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement (as of its date) and the Final Prospectus Supplement (as of its date), appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects with the requirements of the Act except that we express no view as to the antifraud provisions of the Act or the financial statements, the notes and schedules thereto and other financial and accounting data included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Final Prospectus Supplement. The Incorporated Documents, at the time that they were filed (other than the financial statements, the notes and schedules thereto and other financial and accounting data included in the Incorporated Documents, as to which we express no opinion) appear on their face to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act except that we express no view as to the antifraud provisions of the Exchange Act. We have no knowledge of any documents that are required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement and are not so filed, or of any documents that are required to be (but are not) summarized in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Final Prospectus Supplement.

(b) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement (as of its effective date) contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) the Disclosure Package, as of 8:05 (Houston Time) on March 16, 2010 (which you have informed us is a time prior to the time of the first sale of the Units by any Underwriter), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading or (iii) the Final Prospectus Supplement, as of its date and as of the Closing Date, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that in the case of each of clauses (i)-(iii) above, we do not express any view as to the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial and accounting data contained or incorporated by reference therein.

OPINION OF XXXXX XXXXXXXXX

1.	Denbury Onshore is validly existing and in good standing as a limited liability company under the Delaware LLC Act and has full limited liability company power and authority necessary to own or hold its properties and assets and to conduct the businesses in which it is engaged.

2.	Denbury G&M is a corporation under the DGCL and has the full corporate power and authority necessary to own or hold its properties and assets and to conduct the businesses in which it is engaged.

The Selling Unitholders have all requisite corporate and limited liability company power and authority, as applicable, to sell and deliver the Firm Units, in accordance with and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, the Partnership Agreement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. All corporate or limited liability company action required to be taken by each Selling Unitholder or any of its stockholders or members, as applicable, for the sale and delivery of the Firm Units, the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement has been validly taken.

4.	The Underwriting Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Selling Unitholders.

We are not aware of any Liens on the Firm Units held by the Selling Unitholders (except restrictions on transferability contained in the Partnership Agreement, as described in the Disclosure Package or created or arising under the Delaware LP Act) (i) in respect of which a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware naming such Selling Unitholder as debtor is on file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or (ii) otherwise outstanding, without independent investigation.

Upon the payment of the consideration for the Firm Units to be sold by such Selling Unitholder and the crediting of such Firm Units to the security account or accounts of the Underwriters maintained in the records of DTC, each of the Underwriters will become an “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) of the “financial asset” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) comprising the Firm Units purchased by it from such Selling Unitholder, and, assuming that none of the Underwriters has “notice of an adverse claim” (within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the UCC) with respect to such Firm Units, each of the Underwriters will acquire a “security entitlement” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) to the Firm Units purchased by such Underwriter from such Selling Unitholder).

None of the execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Selling Unitholders (i) constitutes or will constitute a violation of the certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws or governing document, as applicable, of the Selling Unitholder, (ii) constitutes or will constitute a breach or violation of or a default under (or an event that, with notice and lapse of time or both, would constitute

B-2-1

such a breach or violation of or default under), any agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or as an exhibit to the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 or any reports filed subsequent to December 31, 2009 under the Exchange Act by the Partnership in each case to which either Selling Unitholder is a party or (iii) violates or will violate any applicable law of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York or the DGCL, excluding in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) any such breaches, violations and defaults that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

No Governmental Approval is required for the execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Selling Unitholder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except for (i) the registration of the Units under the Securities Act, (ii) such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under the Exchange Act and applicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the Units by the Underwriters and (iii) such Governmental Approvals (A) as have been obtained or made or (B) would not have a Material Adverse Effect if not obtained or made.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that its opinion is limited to matters governed by the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York, the DGCL, the Delaware LLC Act and the Delaware LP Act. Such counsel need not express any opinion with respect to the title of the Selling Unitholder to any of its real or personal property or the accuracy of the descriptions or references in the Registration Statement to any real or personal property, and need not express any opinion with respect to state or local taxes or tax statutes to which any of the limited partners of the Partnership or any Subsidiary may be subject.

“applicable law” means mean those laws, rules and regulations that, in such counsel’s experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, without such counsel’s having made any special investigation as to the applicability of any specific law, rule or regulation, and that are not the subject of a specific opinion herein referring expressly to a particular law or laws; provided, however, that such references do not include any municipal or other local laws, rules or regulations, or any antifraud, environmental, labor, state securities or blue sky, tax, insurance or antitrust, laws, rules or regulations, the Natural Gas Act, as amended, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

“Governmental Approval” means any consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, any executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory authority of the State of New York, the State of Delaware or the United States of America, pursuant to (a) applicable laws of the State of New York, (b) applicable laws of the United States of America, (c) the DGCL, (d) the Delaware LLC Act and (e) the Delaware LP Act.
