Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 22, 2011, Blackwater Maryland, L.L.C. ("BWMD"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blackwater Midstream Corp. (the "Company"), consummated the acquisition of certain assets of NuStar Terminals Operations Partnership L.P. ("NuStar"), located at 1134 Marine Road, Salisbury, Maryland (the "Acquisition"), pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement and other related agreements, dated December 22, 2011, by and between NuStar and BWMD (the "Purchase Agreement".) The terms of the Purchase Agreement are described in and a copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this current report on Form 8-K, as well as a copy of the press release announcing the closing of the Acquisition.

The Acquisition consists primarily of the purchase of NuStar’s 177,000 barrel storage terminal located in Salisbury, Maryland and other improvements thereon, as well as certain licenses and permits to operate such facility (collectively, the “Salisbury Storage Terminal”) and is being purchased by BWMD “as-is”.

The purchase price for the Salisbury Storage Terminal is One Million Six Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars, ($1,600,000) (the “Purchase Price”), subject to both parties transaction-related expenses, plus BWMD’s assumption of certain liabilities and potential liabilities. BWMD initially paid Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000) (the “Deposit”) to NuStar on May 25, 2011; which constituted a non-refundable deposit towards the Purchase Price.

In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, BWMD entered into a term loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPM") in the principal amount of $1,600,000 (the "Loan Amount.) The Loan Amount bears interest at the annual fixed rate of 4.50%. BWMD will pay consecutive monthly installments of interest only, commencing January 21, 2011 and continuing on the last day of each calendar month thereafter. In addition, commencing July 21, 2012 and continuing on the last day of each calendar month thereafter, BWMD will pay principal installments of $26,666.67. All unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest is finally due and payable on July 21, 2017. The Loan Agreement includes customary events of default, including, but not limited to, the failure of BWMD to pay any principal or interest when due, the breach of any representation or warranty in any of JPM's loan documents, or the insolvency or bankruptcy of BWMD. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Loan Agreement will become due and payable automatically and without notice.

Additionally, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, BWMD entered into the following with JPM: a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), a continuing security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) covering all of BWMD’s personal property, and a subordination agreement (the ‘Subordination Agreement”).

Blackwater New Orleans, LLC (“BWNO"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blackwater Midstream Corp. entered into continuing pledge of collateral mortgage note (the “Continuing Pledge Agreement”) with JPM. The Loan Agreement is secured by a collateral mortgage on, among other things, BWNO’s, right, title and interest in the immovable property, buildings, structures, machinery, equipment and improvements on the premises located at 660 LaBauve Drive, Westwego, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.

Blackwater Midstream Corp. entered into with JPM a continuing guaranty (the “Guaranty”) and the Subordination Agreement, and guaranteed the obligations of BWMD under the Purchase Agreement.

Copies of all agreement are included as exhibits to this current report on Form 8-K.
