Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

At a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of the unitholders of Genesis Energy, L.P. (the “Partnership”) on December 18, 2007, the Partnership’s unitholders approved the Genesis Energy, Inc. 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2007 LTIP”), which provides for awards of Phantom Units and Distribution Equivalent Rights to non-employee directors and employees of Genesis Energy, Inc., our general partner. Phantom Units are notional units representing unfunded and unsecured promises to deliver a Partnership common unit to the participant should specified vesting requirements be met. Distribution Equivalent Rights are rights to receive an amount of cash equal to all or a portion of the cash distributions made by the Partnership during a specified period. The 2007 LTIP will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of our general partner (the “Board”). Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2007 LTIP, awards with respect to up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 units may be granted under the 2007 LTIP.

The Compensation Committee (at its discretion) will designate participants in the 2007 LTIP, determine the types of awards to grant to participants, determine the number of units to be covered by any award, and determine the conditions and terms of any award including vesting, settlement and forfeiture conditions. The 2007 LTIP may be amended or terminated at any time by the Board or the Compensation Committee; however, any material amendment, such as a material increase in the number of units available under the 2007 LTIP or a change in the types of awards available under the 2007 LTIP, will also require the approval of our unitholders. The Compensation Committee is also authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of and the criteria included in awards under the plan in specified circumstances. The 2007 LTIP is effective until December 18, 2017 or, if earlier, the time which all available units under the 2007 LTIP have been delivered to participants or the time of termination of the plan by the Board or the Compensation Committee.

The summary of the 2007 LTIP in this report does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the previously reported information regarding the 2007 LTIP contained in the Proxy Statement for the Special Meeting, which the Partnership filed on November 7, 2007, and to the copy of the plan agreement and form of award agreements attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3.

SECTION 4.Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum; provided, that such majority must include

at least one Committee member who is a representative of the majority owner of the General Partner, and the acts of the members of the Committee who are present at any meeting thereof at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved by the members of the Committee in writing, shall be the acts of the Committee.

SECTION 5.Units Available for Awards.

(a)Units Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(c), the number of Units with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan is 1,000,000. To the extent an Award is forfeited or otherwise terminates without the delivery of Units, the Units covered by such Award, to the extent of such forfeiture or termination, shall again be Units with respect to which Awards may be granted. Units withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations of the General Partner or an Affiliate shall be considered to have been delivered under the Plan for this purpose and therefore may not be subject to future Awards hereunder.

(b)Sources of Units Deliverable Under Awards. Any Units delivered pursuant to an Award shall consist, in whole or in part, of Units acquired in the open market or from any Affiliate, the Partnership or any other Person, or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. If, at the time of the vesting of an Award of Phantom Units, the General Partner is prohibited, because of rules and/or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any stock exchange upon which the Units are listed, from delivering Units to the Participant that would be obtained from the Partnership or an Affiliate, then delivery of such Units to the Participant in connection with the vesting of such Participant’s Award of Phantom Units shall be delayed until such reasonable time as the General Partner is entitled to acquire, and does acquire, Units in the open market or becomes able to acquire such Units from the Partnership, an Affiliate or an other Person.

(c)Adjustments. In the event the Committee determines that any distribution (whether in the form of cash, Units, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase,

or exchange of Units or other securities of the Partnership, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Units or other securities of the Partnership, or other similar transaction or event affects the Units such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, and (ii) the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; provided, that the number of Units subject to any Award shall always be a whole number; provided, further, that in the case of any “equity restructuring” (within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004)), the Committee shall make an equitable or proportionate adjustment to outstanding Awards to reflect such equity restructuring. Any adjustments under this Section 5 shall be made in a manner that does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The General Partner shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

SECTION 6.Eligibility. Any Employee or Director who performs services for the Partnership or the General Partner or any of their respective Affiliates shall be eligible to be designated a Participant.

SECTION 7.Awards.

(a)Phantom Units. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees and Directors to whom Phantom Units shall be granted, the number of Phantom Units to be granted to each such Participant, the period during which the Award remains subject to forfeiture, the conditions under which the Phantom Units may become vested or forfeited, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such Award.

(b)DERs. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees and Directors to whom DERs shall be granted, the number of DERs to be granted to each such Participant, the period during which the Award remains subject to forfeiture, the limits, if any, or portion of a DER that is payable, the conditions under which the DERs may become vested or forfeited, the applicable payment dates and form of payment, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such Award.

(c)General.

(i)Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the General Partner or any Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the General Partner or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

(ii)Limits on Transfer of Awards. No Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the General Partner or any Affiliate.

(iii)Unit Certificates. All certificates for Units or other securities of the Partnership delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or settlement thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which such Units or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

(iv)Consideration for Grants. Awards may be granted for no cash consideration payable by a Participant or for such consideration payable by a Participant as the Committee determines including, without limitation, services or such minimal cash consideration as may be required by applicable law.

(v)Delivery of Units or other Securities and Payment by Participant of Consideration. No Units or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement is received by the General Partner. Such payment may be made by such method or methods and in such form or forms as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, (i) cash, (ii) withholding from the vesting or settlement of any Units that number of Units having a fair market value equal to such amount, or (iii) any combination of (i) and (ii); provided, that the combined value, as determined by the Committee, of all cash and cash equivalents and the fair market value of any such property so tendered to, or withheld by, the General Partner, as of the date of such tender, is at least equal to the full amount required to be paid to the General Partner pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement.

SECTION 8.Change In Control. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, upon a Change in Control, all restrictions on the Phantom Units granted under this Plan prior to such Change in Control shall automatically lapse.

SECTION 9.Amendment and Termination. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan:

(a)Amendments to the Plan. Except as required by applicable law or the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Units are traded and subject to Section 9(b) below, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan without the consent of any partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or other Person.

(b)Amendments to Awards. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided no change, other than pursuant to Section 5(c), in any Award shall materially reduce the benefit of such Award to the Participant holding such Award without the consent of such Participant.

SECTION 10.Term of the Plan. Following the Effective Date, the Plan shall continue in effect until the earliest of (a) the termination of the Plan by action of the Board or the Committee or (b) the 10th anniversary of the Effective Date. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award, shall extend beyond such termination date and shall continue to be governed by the terms of this Plan.

SECTION 11.General Provisions.

(a)No Rights to Awards. No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

(b)Termination of Employment or Service. For purposes of the Plan, unless the Award Agreement provides to the contrary, a Participant shall not be deemed to have terminated employment with the General Partner and its Affiliates or membership from the Board, as applicable, until such date as such Participant is no longer an Employee of the General Partner or an Affiliate or has ceased to be a member of the Board.

(c)No Right to Employment. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the General Partner or any Affiliate as applicable. Further, the General Partner or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall operate or be construed as constituting an employment agreement with any Participant and each Participant shall be an “at will” employee, unless such Participant has entered into a separate written employment agreement with the General Partner or an Affiliate.

(d)Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law.

(e)Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(f)Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or other consideration under an Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Units or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, the rules of any securities exchange, or entitle the Partnership or an Affiliate to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the General Partner by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the issuance or transfer of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary.

(g)No Trust Fund Created; Unsecured Creditors. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the General Partner or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the General Partner or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the General Partner or the Affiliate.

(h)No Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and any such fractional Units or any rights thereto shall be terminated, or otherwise eliminated, without the payment of any consideration therefor.

(i)Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

(j)Tax Withholding. A Participant may satisfy any U.S., federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the acquisition of his or her Award by any of the following means (in addition to the General Partner’s right to withhold or to direct withholding from any compensation paid to such Participant by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates) or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering cash payment or surrendering already owned Units of the Partnership having a fair market value equal to the withholding obligation, or (ii) authorizing the General Partner or its Affiliates to withhold Units from Units otherwise deliverable to such Participant as a result of the settlement, lapse of restrictions or any payment or transfer under an Award (but no more than the minimum required statutory withholding liability). If the Participant fails to pay the foregoing tax withholding liability, the General Partner may withhold from the number of Units otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the settlement of an Award, a number of Units with a fair market value equal to such withholding liability (but no more than the minimum required statutory withholding liability).

(k)Facility Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any Person under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the Committee, is unable to properly manage his or her financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such Person, or may be applied for the benefit of such person in any manner which the Committee may select, and the General Partner and its Affiliates shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts.

(l)Participation by Affiliates. In making Awards to Employees employed by an Affiliate of the General Partner, the Committee shall be acting on behalf of the Affiliate, and to the extent the General Partner has an obligation to reimburse the Affiliate for compensation paid

to Employees for services rendered for the benefit of the General Partner, such payments or reimbursement payments may be made by the General Partner directly to the Affiliate, and, if made to the General Partner, shall be received by the General Partner as agent for the Affiliate, or to the extent the Affiliate has an obligation to reimburse the General Partner for compensation paid to Employees for services rendered for the benefit of the Affiliate, such payments or reimbursement payments may be made by the Affiliate directly to the General Partner, and, if made to the Affiliate, shall be received by the Affiliate as agent for the General Partner.

FORM OF PHANTOM UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT

(3-YEAR GRADED)

Date of Grant:_______________

Name of Grantee:_______________

Number of Phantom Units Granted:_______________

Genesis Energy, Inc. (the “General Partner”) is pleased to inform you that you have been granted the number of Phantom Units set forth above under the Genesis Energy, Inc. 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). A Phantom Unit is a contractual right to receive a Unit of Genesis Energy, L.P. (the “Partnership”) that is subject to the forfeiture and non-transferability provisions (the “Restrictions”) set forth in Section 2 of this Phantom Unit Grant Agreement (the “Agreement”). The terms of the grant are as follows:

1. Your Phantom Units will be credited to a separate account maintained for you on the books of the General Partner (the “Account”). On any given date, the value of each Phantom Unit credited to the Account shall equal the Fair Market Value of one Unit. All amounts credited to the Account under this Agreement shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general assets of the General Partner. You will only be a general, unsecured creditor of the General Partner.

2. The Restrictions will lapse with respect to 33-1/3% of the Phantom Units on each of the first through the third anniversaries of the Date of Grant (each, a “Vesting Date”); provided, that you are employed by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates on each applicable Vesting Date; provided, further, that, (i) upon your “Qualifying Termination” (as defined below), any then unvested Phantom Units shall automatically vest on the date of such Qualifying Termination, and (ii) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Plan), any then unvested Phantom Units shall automatically vest on the date of such Change in Control if you are employed by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates on the date of the Change in Control. Upon each Vesting Date, each then vested Phantom Unit credited to the Account will be converted into one Unit.

3. Prior to the applicable Vesting Date for such Phantom Units, you will not have any voting or any other rights with respect to the Units underlying such unvested Phantom Units. Upon each applicable Vesting Date, a Unit will be delivered to you with respect to each Phantom Unit that becomes vested upon such Vesting Date, and upon such delivery, the Unit will be evidenced, at the sole option and in the sole discretion of the Committee, either (i) in book-entry form in your name in the Unit register of the Partnership maintained by the Partnership’s transfer agent or (ii) a Unit certificate issued in your name.

4. Prior to the applicable Vesting Date for such Phantom Units, none of the Phantom Units are transferable (by operation of law or otherwise) by you, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

5. If your employment with the General Partner or any of its Affiliates is terminated due to your (i) death, (ii) being disabled and entitled to receive long term disability benefits under the General Partner’s long term disability plan, or (iii) “Normal Retirement” (as defined below) (each such event constituting a “Qualifying Termination”), the Phantom Units shall automatically vest in full upon such Qualifying Termination; provided, that, if the General Partner determines that you are a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, the delivery of any Units you will receive upon your separation from service with the General Partner or any of its Affiliates after the time you become eligible for Normal Retirement shall be made no earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the month in which you separate from service with the General Partner or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, "Normal Retirement" means that the sum of your age and your years of service recognized by the General Partner equals or exceeds 75 years at the time you terminate employment.

6. In the event your employment with the General Partner or any of its Affiliates terminates for any reason other than as provided in Section 5 above, any Phantom Units that are unvested as of the date of your termination of employment shall automatically and immediately be forfeited and cancelled without payment on the date of such termination of employment.

7. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer any right on you to continue employment with the General Partner or any of its Affiliates or restrict the General Partner or any of its Affiliates from terminating your employment at any time. Employment with an Affiliate shall be deemed to be employment with the General Partner for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. Unless you have a separate written employment agreement with the General Partner or an Affiliate, you are, and shall continue to be, an “at will” employee.

8. To the extent that the vesting of a Phantom Unit results in the receipt of compensation by you with respect to which the General Partner or an Affiliate has a tax withholding obligation pursuant to applicable law, you may satisfy such tax withholding obligation by any of the following means (in addition to the General Partner’s right to withhold or to direct withholding from any compensation paid to you by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates) or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering cash payment or surrendering already owned Units of the Partnership having a Fair Market Value equal to the withholding obligation, or (ii) authorizing the General Partner or its Affiliates to withhold Units from Units otherwise deliverable to you as a result of the lapse of restrictions of your Phantom Units (but no more than the minimum required statutory withholding liability). If you fail to pay the foregoing tax withholding liability, the General Partner is authorized to withhold from the number of Units otherwise deliverable to you on the applicable Vesting Date, a number of Units with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability (but no more than the minimum required statutory withholding liability).

9. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, at the time of the vesting of your Phantom Units, the General Partner is prohibited, because of rules and/or regulations

promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any stock exchange upon which the Units are listed, from delivering Units to you that would be obtained from the Partnership or an Affiliate, then delivery of such Units to you in connection with the vesting of your Phantom Units shall be delayed until such reasonable time as the General Partner is entitled to acquire, and does acquire, Units in the open market or becomes able to acquire such Units from the Partnership, an Affiliate or an other Person.

10. These Phantom Units are subject to the terms of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth in its entirety herein, including, without limitation, the ability of the General Partner, in its discretion, to amend this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall be the controlling document. Capitalized terms that are used, but are not defined, in this Agreement have the respective meanings provided for in the Plan. The Plan, as in effect on the Date of Grant, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Upon the Vesting Date, a Unit will be delivered to you with respect to each Phantom Unit that becomes vested upon the Vesting Date, and upon such delivery, the Unit will be evidenced, at the sole option and in the sole discretion of the Committee, either (i) in book-entry form in your name in the Unit register of the Partnership maintained by the Partnership’s transfer agent or (ii) a Unit certificate issued in your name.

4. Prior to the Vesting Date for such Phantom Units, none of the Phantom Units are transferable (by operation of law or otherwise) by you, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

5. If your employment with the General Partner or any of its Affiliates is terminated due to your (i) death, (ii) being disabled and entitled to receive long term disability benefits under the General Partner’s long term disability plan, or (iii) “Normal Retirement” (as defined below) (each such event constituting a “Qualifying Termination”), the Phantom Units shall automatically vest in full upon such Qualifying Termination; provided, that, if the General Partner determines that you are a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, the delivery of any Units you will receive upon your separation from service with the General Partner or any of its Affiliates after the time you become eligible for Normal Retirement shall be made no earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the month in which you separate from service with the General Partner or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, "Normal Retirement" means that the sum of your age and your years of service recognized by the General Partner equals or exceeds 75 years at the time you terminate employment.

6. In the event your employment with the General Partner or any of its Affiliates terminates for any reason other than as provided in Section 5 above, any Phantom Units that are unvested as of the date of your termination of employment shall automatically and immediately be forfeited and cancelled without payment on the date of such termination of employment.

7. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer any right on you to continue employment with the General Partner or any of its Affiliates or restrict the General Partner or any of its Affiliates from terminating your employment at any time. Employment with an Affiliate shall be deemed to be employment with the General Partner for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. Unless you have a separate written employment agreement with the General Partner or an Affiliate, you are, and shall continue to be, an “at will” employee.

8. To the extent that the vesting of a Phantom Unit results in the receipt of compensation by you with respect to which the General Partner or an Affiliate has a tax withholding obligation pursuant to applicable law, you may satisfy such tax withholding obligation by any of the following means (in addition to the General Partner’s right to withhold or to direct withholding from any compensation paid to you by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates) or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering cash payment or surrendering already owned Units of the Partnership having a Fair Market Value equal to the withholding obligation, or (ii) authorizing the General Partner or its Affiliates to withhold Units from Units otherwise deliverable to you as a result of the lapse of restrictions of your Phantom Units (but no more than the minimum required statutory withholding liability). If you fail to pay the foregoing tax withholding liability, the General Partner is authorized to withhold from the number of Units otherwise deliverable to you on the Vesting Date, a number of Units with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability (but no more than the minimum required statutory withholding liability).

9. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, at the time of the vesting of your Phantom Units, the General Partner is prohibited, because of rules and/or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any stock exchange upon which the Units are listed, from delivering Units to you that would be obtained from the Partnership or an Affiliate, then delivery of such Units to you in connection with the vesting of your Phantom Units shall be delayed until such reasonable time as the General Partner is entitled to acquire,

and does acquire, Units in the open market or becomes able to acquire such Units from the Partnership, an Affiliate or an other Person.

10. These Phantom Units are subject to the terms of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth in its entirety herein, including, without limitation, the ability of the General Partner, in its discretion, to amend this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall be the controlling document. Capitalized terms that are used, but are not defined, in this Agreement have the respective meanings provided for in the Plan. The Plan, as in effect on the Date of Grant, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
