(a) Each of the Magellan Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of the Units), to which any Underwriter or such director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Package or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (C) any Permitted Issuer Information used or referred to in any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations) used or referred to by any Underwriter, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by the Underwriters in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Units or the offering contemplated hereby, and that is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon matters covered by clause (i) or (ii) above (provided that the Magellan Parties shall not be liable under this clause (iii) to the extent that it is determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by the Underwriters through its gross negligence or willful misconduct), and shall reimburse each Underwriter and each such director, officer, employee or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriters or such director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Magellan Parties shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any
30
Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any such amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the General Partner or the Partnership by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein, which information consists solely of the information specified in Section 10(f). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Magellan Parties may otherwise have to the Underwriters or to any director, officer, employee or controlling person of the Underwriters.
(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the General Partner, the Partnership, the Selling Unitholder, their directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls the General Partner, the Partnership or the Selling Unitholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Magellan Parties, the Selling Unitholder or any such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only with reference to written information relating to the Underwriters furnished to the Partnership by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein, which information is limited to the information set forth in Section 10(f). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the Underwriters may otherwise have to the General Partner, the Partnership, the Selling Unitholder or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person.
(c) The Selling Unitholder shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of the Units), to which such Underwriter, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Selling Unitholder in this Agreement or any certificate or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto or contemplated hereby or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information, or any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405), prepared by or on behalf of the Selling Unitholder or used or referred to by the Selling Unitholder in connection with the offering of the Units in violation of Section 7(b) (a “Selling Unitholder Free Writing
31
Prospectus”), the omission or the alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information, or any Selling Unitholder Free Writing Prospectus, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the Registration Statement) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in the case of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free or Unitholder Writing Prospectus), in the case of clause (ii) of this Section 10(c) to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon written information furnished to the Magellan Parties or the Underwriters by the Selling Unitholder directly or through the Selling Unitholder’s representatives specifically for inclusion therein; and shall reimburse each Underwriter, its directors, officers and employees and each such controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriter, its directors, officers and employees or controlling persons in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. 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. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the Selling Unitholder may otherwise have to the Underwriters or any officer, employee or controlling person of the Underwriters.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 10, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 10 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of the indemnifying party’s election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the indemnified party, the other indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 10 if (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the indemnifying party has
32
failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party and its directors, officers, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified parties or their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the indemnifying party, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include any findings of fact or admissions of fault or culpability as to the indemnified party, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Magellan Parties and the Selling Unitholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, 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 Magellan Parties and the Selling Unitholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Magellan Parties and the Selling Unitholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Units purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Unitholder (as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus) bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Units purchased under this Agreement (as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus). The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
33
material fact relates to information supplied by the General Partner, the Partnership, the Selling Unitholders or the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Magellan Parties, the Selling Unitholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10(e) were to be 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 into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 10(e) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 10(e), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(e), the Underwriters shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds from the sale of the Units exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriters has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f) The Underwriters confirm and the Magellan Parties and the Selling Unitholder acknowledge and agree that the statements regarding delivery of the Units by the Underwriters set forth on the cover page of, and the concession and reallowance figures and the paragraph relating to stabilization by the Underwriters appearing under the caption “Underwriting” in, the Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information concerning the Underwriters furnished in writing to the Magellan Parties by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto.
11. Default by an Underwriter. If either of the Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Units agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriter shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for the Units which the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate number of Units which the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Units set forth in Schedule A hereto, the remaining Underwriter shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Units, and if such nondefaulting Underwriter does not purchase all the Units, this Agreement will terminate without liability to the nondefaulting Underwriter or the Magellan Parties or Selling Unitholder. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 11, the Delivery Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five (5) Business Days, as the nondefaulting Underwriter shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Magellan Parties or the Selling Unitholder and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
34
12. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Underwriters by notice given to and received by the Partnership and the Selling Unitholder prior to delivery of and payment for the Units if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 9(n), (o) or (p) hereof shall have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Units for any reason permitted under this Agreement.
13. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Units provided for herein is not consummated for any reason or the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Units for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Selling Unitholder will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Units, and upon demand the Selling Unitholder shall pay the full amount thereof to the Underwriters.
14. Research Analyst Independence. The Magellan Parties acknowledge that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that the Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Partnership and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Magellan Parties and the Selling Unitholder hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Magellan Parties or the Selling Unitholder may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Partnership or the Selling Unitholder by the Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. The Magellan Parties and the Selling Unitholder acknowledge that each Underwriter is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the Partnership and its subsidiaries.
15. No Fiduciary Obligation. The Partnership and the Selling Unitholder acknowledge and agree that in connection with this offering, the sale of the Units or any other services the Underwriters may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Underwriters: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Magellan Parties, the Selling Unitholder or any other person, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, exists; (ii) the Underwriters are not acting as advisor, expert or otherwise, to the Magellan Parties or the Selling Unitholder, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the public offering price of the Units, and such relationship between the Magellan Parties and the Selling Unitholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the Magellan Parties or the Selling Unitholder shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and
35
(iv) the Underwriters and their affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Magellan Parties. The Magellan Parties and the Selling Unitholder hereby waive any claims that the they may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with this offering.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that you (the “Underwriters”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) providing for the purchase by the Underwriters of common units representing limited partner interests (the “Units”) of Magellan Midstream Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and that the Underwriters propose to reoffer the Units to the public (the “Offering”).
In consideration of the execution of the Underwriting Agreement by the Underwriters, and for other good and valuable consideration, the undersigned hereby irrevocably agrees that, without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, (1) offer for sale, sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any Units (including, without limitation, Units that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Units that may be issued upon exercise of any options or warrants) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Units, (2) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of Units, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Units or other securities, in cash or otherwise, (3) make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any Units or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Units or any other securities of the Partnership or (4) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the 60th day after the date of the Prospectus relating to the Offering (such 60-day period, the “Lock-Up Period”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Partnership occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, then the restrictions imposed by this Lock-Up Letter Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the announcement of the material news or the occurrence of the material
Annex I – Page 1
event, unless the Underwriters waive such extension in writing. The undersigned hereby further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement during the period from the date of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, he will give notice thereof to the Partnership and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless he has received written confirmation from the Partnership that the Lock-Up Period (as such may have been extended pursuant to this paragraph) has expired.
The foregoing limitations shall not apply to (a) transactions relating to Units or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Units or other securities acquired in such open market transactions, (b) transfers of Units or any security convertible into Units as a bona fide gift, or (c) distributions of Units or any security convertible into Units to limited partners or unitholders of the undersigned; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (b) or (c), each donee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Partnership and its transfer agent are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.
It is understood that, if the Partnership notifies the Underwriters that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, if the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective, or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Units, the undersigned will be released from his obligations under this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.
The undersigned understands that the Partnership and the Underwriters will proceed with the Offering in reliance on this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.
Whether or not the Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Partnership and the Underwriters.
[Signature page follows]
Annex I – Page 2
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Letter Agreement and that, upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents necessary in connection with the enforcement hereof. Any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
Very truly yours, | ||

(xxiii) No consent, approval, authorization, filing with or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, except such as have been obtained under the Securities Act, such as may be required under the blue sky laws under any jurisdiction in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Units by the Underwriters in the manner contemplated in this Agreement and in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and such other approvals as have been obtained.
(xxiv) The statements included in the Prospectus under the headings “How We Make Cash Distributions,” “Description of the Common Units,” “Material Provisions of the Partnership Agreement of Magellan Midstream Holdings, L.P.,” “Material Provisions of the Partnership Agreement of Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P.” and “Material Tax Consequences,” insofar as such statements summarize legal matters, agreements, documents or proceedings discussed therein, are accurate and fair summaries of such legal matters, agreements, documents or proceedings.

Exhibit A – Page 5

In addition, such counsel shall state that they have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Magellan Entities and the independent public accountants of the Magellan Entities and your representatives, at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed, and although such counsel has not independently verified, is not passing on, and is not assuming any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except to the extent specified in the foregoing opinion), no facts have come to such counsel’s attention that have led such counsel to believe that, on the Effective Date, the Registration Statement contained any 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, or that the Prospectus, as of its date and on the Delivery Date included or includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in each case, other than the financial statements and other financial and related statistical information contained therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion).

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may (A) rely as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Magellan Entities and public officials, (B) assume that all documents submitted to them as originals are authentic, that all copies submitted to them conform to the originals thereof, and that the signatures on all documents examined by them are genuine, and (C) state that their opinion is limited to federal laws, the Delaware LP Act, the Delaware LLC Act, and the laws of the State of Texas and the State of New York. References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (d) shall also include any supplements thereto at the Delivery Date.
