Amendment No.1 to First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership

Table of Contents

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws.
Effective as of July 5, 2006, Calumet GP, LLC (the “General Partner”) amended the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) of Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) by executing Amendment No. 1 thereto, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference.
Section 6.2(b)(iii) of the Partnership Agreement was amended in connection with the Partnership’s issuance of 3,300,000 additional common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Common Units”) to provide the General Partner with the flexibility to make certain tax elections with respect to goodwill for future issuances the same way that the General Partner was able to do so in connection with the Partnership’s initial public offering of Common Units. Prior to the amendment, it was unclear whether the General Partner had this flexibility under section 6.2(b)(iii) with respect to future offerings after the initial public offering. Thus, the Partnership Agreement was amended to clarify section 6.2(b)(iii).
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
