Pipeline Purchase Agreement.
On November 3, 2004, Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) signed a definitive agreement to purchase for $3.0 million a liquefied petroleum gas (“LPG”) pipeline located in East Texas from an unrelated third party. The pipeline, which will be used by the Partnership to transport LPG for third parties as well as its own account, spans approximately 200 miles running from Kilgore to Beaumont, Texas. The pipeline purchase, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to occur in January 2005 and will be financed through the acquisition subfacility of the Partnership’s credit facility.
Amendment to Transportation Services Agreement
On November 5, 2004, the Partnership, and its affiliate, Midstream Fuel Service LLC, (“MFS”), amended the previously existing Transportation Services Agreement between such parties in order to add a fuel surcharge on diesel fuel used in transportation provided by the Partnership to MFS. A copy of the Amendment to Transportation Services Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
