Ladies and Gentlemen:

NGL Energy Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), confirms its agreement with UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”), Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC (“Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx”), RBC Capital Markets, LLC (“RBC”) and each of the other Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”) for which UBS, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, and RBC are acting as representatives (in such capacity, the “Representatives”), with respect to the issuance and sale by the Partnership of a total of 7,400,000 (the “Initial Units”) of its 9.00% Class B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (the “Class B Preferred Units”) representing limited partner interests in the Partnership, and with respect to the grant by the Partnership to the Underwriters of the option described in Section 2(a) hereof to purchase all or any part of the 1,110,000 additional Class B Preferred Units. The Initial Units to be purchased by the Underwriters and all or any part of the 1,110,000 Class B Preferred Units subject to the option described in Section 2(a) hereof (the “Option Units”) are hereinafter called, collectively, the “Units.” Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 16 hereof.

NGL Energy Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”), is the sole general partner of the Partnership. The entities listed in Exhibit A hereto are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Subsidiaries.” The General Partner and the Partnership are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Partnership Parties.” Each of the Partnership Parties and each of the Subsidiaries is sometimes referred to herein as a “Partnership Entity,” and they are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Partnership Entities.”

On the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2(c)), the General Partner will amend and restate the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (as amended to the date hereof, the “Original Partnership Agreement”) to be the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the “Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement”) to authorize and establish the terms of the Class B Preferred Units. References herein to the “Partnership Agreement” for periods prior to the Closing Date mean the Original Partnership Agreement and for periods on or after the Closing Date mean the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement.

The Partnership understands that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Units as soon as the Representatives deem it advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered.

The Partnership has prepared and previously delivered to you a preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 6, 2017 relating to the Units and a related prospectus dated February 15, 2017 (the “Base Prospectus”). Such preliminary prospectus supplement and Base Prospectus, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, are hereinafter called, collectively, the “Pre-Pricing Prospectus.” Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Partnership will prepare and file with the Commission a prospectus supplement dated June 6, 2017 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B and Rule 424(b) and the Partnership has previously advised you of all information (financial and other) that will be set forth therein. The Prospectus Supplement and the Base Prospectus, in the forms first furnished to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Units (whether to meet the request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173(d) or otherwise), including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, are hereinafter called, collectively, the “Prospectus.”

SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties.

(a) Representations and Warranties by the Partnership. The Partnership represents and warrants to each Underwriter as of the date hereof, as of the Applicable Time, as of the Closing Date referred to in Section 2(c) hereof, and as of each Option Closing Date (if any) referred to in Section 2(a) hereof, and agrees with each Underwriter, as follows:

(1) Status as a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (A) At the respective times the Registration Statement or any amendments thereto were filed with the Commission, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment to the Registration Statement for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or form of prospectus), (C) at any time the Partnership or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Units in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 and (D) as of the execution of this Agreement, the Partnership was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405, including not having been and not being an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 in connection with the offering and sale of the Units hereunder (without taking into account any determination made by the Commission pursuant to paragraph (2) of the definition of such term in Rule 405). The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405 and the Units, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Partnership on such an “automatic shelf registration statement.” The Partnership has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form.

(2) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Partnership meets the requirements for use of the Registration Statement under the 1933 Act and the offer and sale of the Units have been duly registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective under the 1933 Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Partnership, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.

(3) Registration Statement, Prospectus and Disclosure at Time of Sale. At the respective times the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto became effective, at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) and at the Closing Date (and, if any Option Units are purchased, at the applicable Option Closing Date), the Registration Statement and any amendments to any of the foregoing complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

At the respective times the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto was filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or issued, at the Closing Date (and, if any Option Units are purchased, at the applicable

Option Closing Date), and at any time when a prospectus is required (or, but for the provisions of Rule 172, would be required) by applicable law to be delivered in connection with sales of Units (whether to meet the requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173(d) or otherwise), neither the Prospectus nor any amendments or supplements thereto included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit 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.

As of the Applicable Time (except in the case of clause (y) below) and as of each time prior to the Closing Date that an investor agrees (orally or in writing) to purchase or, if applicable, reconfirms (orally or in writing) an agreement to purchase any Units from any Underwriter, neither (x) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, issued at or prior to the Applicable Time, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus as of the Applicable Time and the information, if any, included on Exhibit D hereto, all considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), nor (y) any individual Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses issued subsequent to the Applicable Time, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit 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.

No facts or events arising after June 6, 2017 (the date of the latest update of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 10(a)(3) under the 0000 Xxx) have occurred that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement as of such date.

Each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing filed as part of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, or filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, or delivered to the Representatives for use in connection with the offering of the Units, complied when so filed or when so delivered, as the case may be, in all material respects with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.

The representations and warranties in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 1(a)(3) do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Representatives as aforesaid consists of the information described as such in Section 6(b) hereof.

The copies of the Registration Statement and any amendments to any of the foregoing and the copies of each preliminary prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, that have been or subsequently are delivered to the Representatives in connection with the offering of the Units (whether to meet the request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173(d) or otherwise) were and will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “delivery” or “furnishing” of any of the foregoing documents to the Representatives, the Underwriters or to counsel for the Underwriters, and any similar terms, include, without limitation, electronic delivery.

Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (if any), as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offering and sale of the Units, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus that has not been superseded or modified.

SECTION 6. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Partnership Entities. The Partnership agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each of their respective affiliates and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members and agents and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, any other preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) that does not constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Partnership; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above,

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or in any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) that does not constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, it being understood and agreed that

the only such information furnished by the Representatives as aforesaid consists of the information described as such in Section 6(b) hereof.

(b) Indemnification by the Underwriters. Each Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the directors and each of the officers of the General Partner who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 6, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, any other preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) that does not constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by such Underwriter expressly for use therein. The Partnership hereby acknowledges and agrees that the information furnished to the Partnership by the Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) that does not constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, consists exclusively of the sentence on the cover page of the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus relating to the delivery of the Units and the following information appearing in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus under the following captions: the sentences related to concession and reallowance figures appearing under the caption “Underwriting” and the statements relating to stabilization, short positions and penalty bids by the Underwriters appearing under the caption “Underwriting.”

(c) Actions Against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel appointed by the indemnifying party at the indemnifying party’s expense (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as expressly set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding anything otherwise provided herein, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) 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.

(d) Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. 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 this Section 6, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

SECTION 7. Contribution.

If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) 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 on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Units as set forth on such cover.

The relative fault of the Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Partnership on the one hand or by the Underwriters on the other hand and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Partnership and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, the Underwriters shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Units underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriters has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each officer, director, employee, partner, member, agent and affiliate of any Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the General Partner, each officer of the General Partner who signed the Registration Statement, and each person,

if any, who controls the Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Partnership.

SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.

All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates signed by any officer of the General Partner (whether signed on behalf of such officer, the General Partner or the Partnership) and delivered to the Representatives or counsel to the Underwriters, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, any officer, director, employee, partner, member, agent or affiliate of the Underwriters or any person controlling the Underwriters, or by or on behalf of the Partnership, any officer, director or employee of the General Partner or any person controlling the Partnership, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Units.

SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement.

(a) Termination; General. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Partnership, at any time on or prior to the Closing Date (and, if any Option Units are to be purchased on an Option Closing Date which occurs after the Closing Date, the Representatives may terminate any obligation to purchase such Option Units, by notice to the Partnership at any time on or prior to such Option Closing Date) (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (in each case exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), any material adverse change, or any development that could reasonably expected to result in a material adverse change, in the condition (financial or other), results of operations, business, properties, management or prospects of the Partnership Entities taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions (including, without limitation, as a result of terrorist activities), in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Units or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Units, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Partnership has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NYSE, or if trading generally on the NYSE, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the NYSE MKT, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or in Europe, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities or (v) if there shall have occurred, since the time of execution of this Agreement, any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of the Partnership, or of the securities of any subsidiary or subsidiary trust of the Partnership, by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436 under the 0000 Xxx) or any public announcement that any such organization has placed its rating on the Partnership or any such debt securities under surveillance or review or on a so-called “watch list” (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating) or any announcement by any such organization that the Partnership or any such debt securities has been placed on negative outlook.

(b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19 and 20 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 9B Defaulting Underwriter.

(a) If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters defaults on its or their obligation to purchase Units that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder, and the aggregate principal amount of Units that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed one-tenth of

the aggregate amount of Units to be purchased on the Closing Date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the principal amount of Units set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal amount of Units set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Underwriters with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase the Units that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on the Closing Date; provided that in no event shall the amount of Units that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 9B by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such amount of Units without the written consent of such Underwriter.

(b) If any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Units and the aggregate number of Units which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on the Closing Date and the aggregate principal amount of Units with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Units to be purchased on Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Underwriters and the Partnership for the purchase of such Units are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or of the Partnership Entities. In any such case either the Underwriters or the Partnership Entities shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

(c) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Partnership Entities or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

SECTION 10. Notices.

All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective only upon receipt and shall be mailed, delivered by hand or overnight courier, transmitted by fax (with the receipt of such fax to be confirmed by telephone) or, in the case of any notice given under Section 2(a) hereof, by email correspondence if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged, other than via auto-reply.

In addition, we have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Partnership, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Partnership, your counsel and your representatives at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents) and related matters were discussed and, although we have not independently verified and 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 Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (except as and to the extent set forth in paragraphs 10 and 11 above), on the basis of the foregoing (relying with respect to factual matters to the extent we deem appropriate upon statements by officers and other representatives of the Partnership), (a) we confirm to you that, in our opinion, each of the Registration Statement, as of its most recent effective date, the Preliminary Prospectus, as of its date, and the Prospectus, as of its date, appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations (except that we express no statement or belief as to Regulation S-T), (b) we have not become aware of any documents that are required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or any of the Incorporated Documents and are not so filed or of any documents that are required to be summarized in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any of the Incorporated Documents, and are not so summarized and (c) furthermore, no facts have come to our attention that have led us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, as of its most recent effective date, insofar as relating to the offering of the Securities, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Disclosure Package (including the Incorporated Documents), as of [ : ] [a.m. / p.m.] on June [ ], 2017 (which you have informed us is a time prior to the time of the first sale of the Securities by any Underwriter), insofar as relating to the offering of the Securities, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) the Prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents), as of its date and as of the date hereof, insofar as relating to the offering of the Securities, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, it being understood that we did not participate in the preparation of the Incorporated Documents and that we express no opinion, statement or belief in this letter with respect to (i) the financial statements and related schedules, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditor’s report thereon, (ii) any other financial or accounting data, included or incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in, or excluded from, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package and (iii) representations and warranties and other statements of fact included in the exhibits to the Registration Statement or Incorporated Documents.

Furthermore, we advise you that the Registration Statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act. In addition, based solely on our review of the information made available by the SEC at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxx, we confirm that the SEC has not issued any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. To our knowledge, based solely on our participation in the conferences mentioned above regarding the Registration Statement, no proceedings for that purpose are pending or have been instituted or threatened by the SEC.

We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than (i) applicable laws of the State of New York, (ii) applicable laws of the United States of America, (iii) certain other specified laws of the United States of America to the extent referred to specifically herein, (iv) the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware and (v) the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware. References herein to “applicable laws” mean those laws, rules and regulations that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, without our 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 (including without limitation those appearing in paragraphs 8 and 9 above) do not include any municipal or other local laws, rules or regulations, or any antifraud, environmental, labor, securities, tax, insurance or antitrust, laws, rules or regulations.

B-6

Our opinions expressed herein are subject to the following additional assumptions and qualifications:

(i) The opinions set forth in paragraph 1 above as to the valid existence and good standing of the entities mentioned in such paragraph are based solely upon our review of certificates and other communications from the appropriate public officials.

(ii) In rendering the opinions set forth in paragraph 8 above regarding Applicable Agreements, we do not express any opinion, however, as to whether the execution or delivery by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership of the Underwriting Agreement, or the incurrence or performance by the Partnership of its obligations thereunder, will constitute a violation of, or a default under or as a result of, any covenant, restriction or provision with respect to any financial ratio or test or any aspect of the financial condition or results of operations of the Partnership.

(iii) The opinion set forth in paragraph 11 above with respect to United States federal income tax consequences is based upon our interpretations of current U.S. federal income tax law, including court authority and existing final and temporary United States Treasury regulations, which are subject to change both prospectively and retroactively, and upon the assumptions and qualifications discussed herein. We note that such opinion represents merely our best legal judgment on the matters presented and that others may disagree with our conclusion. Such opinion is not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or courts, and there is no guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service will not successfully challenge our conclusions. No assurance can be given that future legislative, judicial or administrative changes, on either a prospective or retroactive basis, would not adversely affect the accuracy of our conclusions.

(iv) The opinions in paragraphs 13 and 14 above as to the ownership of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Partnership and the Operating Company, respectively, are based solely upon our review of the certificate of limited partnership and limited partnership agreement (in the case of the Partnership) or the certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement (in the case of the Operating Company), each in the form reviewed by us, as indicated above (the “Applicable Organizational Documents”) of each such Person. We have assumed that the Applicable Organizational Documents of each such Person accurately reflect the ownership of all the issued and outstanding equity interests of such Person as of the dates of such Applicable Organizational Documents, and we express no opinion as to (and have assumed that there has not been) any resale, transfer, or issuance of any equity interest of any of such Person subsequent to the respective dates of such Applicable Organizational Documents. The opinions in such paragraphs as to liens in respect of which financing statements have been filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State Delaware, are based solely upon our review of results of lien searches performed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware through June [ ], 2017. We express no opinion as to liens in respect of which financing statements may have been filed in such office after the respective times on such date stamped on the results of lien searches. Furthermore, we inform you that such lien searches produced copies of financing statements naming as the secured party Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as collateral agent. We have assumed that all such financing statements were filed to evidence liens securing obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement.

This opinion is being furnished only to you in connection with the sale of the [Firm] Securities under the Underwriting Agreement occurring today and is solely for your benefit and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose or relied upon by any other Person, including any purchaser of any Security from you and any subsequent purchaser of any Security, without our express written permission. The opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof only and are based on laws, orders, contract terms and provisions, and facts as of such date, and we disclaim any obligation to update this opinion letter after such date or to advise you of changes of facts stated or assumed herein or any subsequent changes in law.

Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx LLP

Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000

Re: NGL Energy Partners LP

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Delaware counsel for you in connection with the matters set forth herein relating to NGL Energy Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership formerly known as Silverthorne Energy Partners LP (the “Partnership”). At your request, this opinion is being furnished to you.

For purposes of giving the opinion hereinafter set forth, our examination of documents has been limited to the examination of executed or conformed counterparts, or copies otherwise proved to our satisfaction, of the following:

(a) The Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, dated September 8, 2010, as filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary of State”) on September 8, 2010 (under the name “Silverthorne Energy Partners LP”), as amended by the Certificate of Amendment thereto, dated as of January 14, 2011, as filed in the office of the Secretary of State on January 14, 2011 (reflecting a change in the name of the Partnership to “NGL Energy Partners LP”) (as so amended, the “Certificate”); and

(b) The Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, dated as of June , 2017 (the “Partnership Agreement”), among NGL Energy Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the general partner (the “General Partner”), and the Limited Partners (as defined therein) (collectively with the General Partner, the “Partners”).

For purposes of this opinion, we have not reviewed any documents other than the documents listed in paragraphs (a) and (b) above. In particular, we have not reviewed any document (other than the documents listed in paragraphs (a) and (b) above) that is referred to in or incorporated by reference into any document reviewed by us. We have assumed that there exists no provision in any document that we have not reviewed that is inconsistent with the opinion stated herein. We have conducted no independent factual investigation of our own, but rather have relied solely upon the foregoing documents, the statements and information set forth therein and the additional matters recited or assumed herein, all of which we have assumed to be true, complete and accurate in all material respects.

With respect to all documents examined by us, we have assumed that (i) all signatures on documents examined by us are genuine, (ii) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, and (iii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform with the originals of those documents.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed (i) that the Partnership Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, including with respect to the admission of partners to, and the formation, operation and termination of, the Partnership, and that the Partnership Agreement and the Certificate are in full force and effect, have not been amended and no amendment of such documents is pending or has been proposed, (ii) that any amendment or restatement of any document reviewed by us has been accomplished in accordance with, and was permitted by, the relevant provisions of such document prior to its amendment or restatement from time to time, (iii) that there are no proceedings pending or contemplated for the merger, consolidation, conversion, dissolution, liquidation or termination of the Partnership, (iv) that each party to the documents examined by us, and the Partnership, has been duly created, organized or formed, as the case may be, and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction governing its creation, organization or

C-1

formation, (v) the legal capacity of natural persons who are signatories to the documents examined by us, (vi) that each of the parties to the documents examined by us has the power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, such documents, (vii) that each of the parties to the documents examined by us has duly authorized, executed and delivered such documents, and (viii) that each of the partners of the Partnership, including the General Partner, has been duly admitted to the Partnership as a partner of the Partnership and constitutes a partner of the Partnership on the date hereof. We have not participated in the preparation of any offering material relating to the Partnership and assume no responsibility for the contents of any such material.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding the securities laws, blue sky laws and tax laws of the State of Delaware), and we have not considered and express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction, including federal laws and rules and regulations relating thereto. Our opinion is rendered only with respect to Delaware laws and rules, regulations and orders thereunder that are currently in effect. In rendering the opinion set forth herein, we express no opinion concerning (i) the creation, attachment, perfection or priority of any security interest, lien or other encumbrance, or (ii) the nature or validity of title to any property.

Based upon the foregoing, and upon our examination of such questions of law and statutes of the State of Delaware as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Partnership Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Partners, and is enforceable against the Partners, in accordance with its terms.

The opinion expressed above is subject to the effect upon the Partnership Agreement of (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, reorganization, liquidation and other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, (ii) principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law), (iii) the law of fraudulent transfer and conveyance, (iv) public policy, including the effect of applicable public policy on the enforceability of provisions relating to indemnification, exculpation, contribution, and the waiver or release of statutory, legal or equitable rights, remedies, defenses or claims, (v) applicable law relating to fiduciary duties, and (vi) judicial imposition of an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

In rendering the opinion expressed above, we express no opinion with respect to (i) any provision of the Partnership Agreement to the extent that such provision purports to bind a person or entity that is not a party to the Partnership Agreement, (ii) transfer restrictions in the Partnership Agreement to the extent that a transfer occurs by operation of law, (iii) the validity, binding effect or enforceability of purported waivers or releases of any statutory or other rights, court rules, defenses, claims or remedies to obligations where such waivers or releases constitute waivers or releases of rights, court rules, defenses, claims or remedies which by law, regulation or judicial decision may not otherwise be waived or released, (iv) any provision of the Partnership Agreement that purports or would operate to render ineffective any waiver or modification not in writing, (v) any provision of the Partnership Agreement to the effect that the failure to exercise or delay in exercising rights or remedies will not impair or operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies, or (vi) the last sentence of Section 5.12(d)(v) of the Partnership Agreement to the extent that such sentence may apply to any claims or rights of action that are only available to a then-current holder of the Class A Preferred Units under applicable law.

In rendering the opinion expressed above, we note that any distribution made to the Partners is subject to Sections 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (6 Del. C. § 17-101, et seq.).

In addition, with respect to Section 16.9 of the Partnership Agreement, we have assumed (a) that the submission by the parties to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in connection with the claims, suits, actions and proceedings described therein (the “Forum Selection Provision”) has been freely agreed to by the parties thereto, (b) that the Forum Selection Provision would not be determined to be unreasonable at the time of any claim, suit, action or proceeding, and (c) that the Forum Selection Provision would not place any of the parties to the Partnership Agreement at a substantial and unjust disadvantage or otherwise deny such party of its day in court.

C-2

We understand that you will rely as to matters of Delaware law upon this opinion in connection with the rendering of opinions by you concerning the Partnership Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, we hereby consent to your relying as to matters of Delaware law upon this opinion, subject to the understanding that the opinion herein is given on the date hereof and such opinion is rendered only with respect to facts existing on the date hereof and laws and rules, regulations and orders thereunder in effect as of such date. Except as stated above, without our prior written consent, this opinion may not be furnished or quoted to, or relied upon by, any other person or entity for any purpose.
