Patrick Murray, II (“Executive”) (individually, each a “Party” and jointly, the
“Parties”) effective as of April 17, 2017 (the “Effective Date”).
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are presently parties to an Employment
Agreement bearing an effective date of May 7, 2014, governing the terms of their
employment relationship when Executive served in the role of Senior Vice
President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company (“2014
Employment Agreement”);
WHEREAS, on January 5, 2017, Executive voluntarily assumed the position of Vice
President, Chief Accounting Officer and Secretary of the Company, while the 2014
Employment Agreement remained otherwise effective and enforceable; and
WHEREAS, the Parties now wish to further revise Executive’s duties and
responsibilities in line with a change of job title to Vice President - Special
Projects, and to terminate and replace the 2014 Employment Agreement to be
consistent with his new role and the Parties’ plan to transition Executive out
of the Company upon completion of certain assigned projects, including
successful implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system for the
Partnership through SAP (“SAP”).
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, and
obligations contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1.New Position. The Company wishes to employ Executive, and Executive accepts
such employment, as Vice President - Special Projects as of the Effective Date.
This position will be primarily located at the Partnership’s headquarters in
Indianapolis, Indiana, with the expectation that significant time will also be
spent by the Executive working at the Partnership’s Houston, Texas office.
Executive shall report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).
2.At-Will Employment. Executive specifically acknowledges and agrees that the
employment relationship is on an at-will basis, and that either Party may
terminate this relationship at any time for any reason, with or without cause,
subject to the terms in this Agreement.
3.Term. The term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence
on the Effective Date and continue until the earlier of fifteen (15) days after

Executive shall perform duties and responsibilities consistent with Executive’s
position and other such duties as may be assigned or delegated to Executive from

Executive will no longer serve as the Partnership’s Principal Accounting Officer

operational responsibility for, or in, the Partnership’s Accounting or
Information Technology Departments. He will, however, assist in effectively
transitioning his current duties as Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer and
Assistant Secretary to the Company employees who will be assuming those
responsibilities as of the Effective Date.
5.Manner of Performance. Executive shall at all times devote Executive’s full
working time, best efforts, ability, skill, and attention exclusively to the
furtherance of the best business objectives and interests of the Company, all to
the exclusion of other employers or their products and services. However, it
shall not be considered a violation of the foregoing for Executive to: (i) serve
on industry, civic, or charitable boards or committees; (ii) manage Executive’s
personal investments; or (iii) serve on the boards of other businesses with the
advance written consent of the CEO, so long as such activities do not materially
interfere with Executive’s duties and responsibilities for the Company.
6.Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the Parties agree that certain
terms in this Agreement shall be defined as follows:
a.
“Additional Benefits”: means (1) monthly reimbursement of Executive’s COBRA

below) and the date upon which Executive becomes eligible to receive coverage
under a group health plan sponsored by another employer; (2) immediate one
hundred percent (100%) vesting of any phantom units previously awarded to
Executive under the Partnership’s Long-Term Incentive Plan which are not yet
vested on the Separation Date, not to exceed 13,768 phantom units, which the
Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has heretofore
approved to be paid to Executive in accordance with this Agreement and in
accordance with the terms of the Partnership’s Long-Term Incentive Plan and (3)
free and clear title to Executive’s Company vehicle as of the Effective Date and
a cash payment to Executive in an amount that will fully offset the income taxes
incurred by Executive as a result of the transfer of ownership of the vehicle to

failure to work for the Company on a full-time basis, excluding any permitted
vacations or short term absences due to sickness or injury; (2) willful and
continued failure to perform Executive’s duties and responsibilities with the
Company or to follow any lawful directive from the Company; (3) commission of an

Agreement or of any Company policy, code of conduct, or code of ethics
applicable to him. For purposes of this definition, no act or failure to act by

and without a reasonable belief that the act or failure to act was in the best
interests of the Company. In addition, no act or failure to act under clauses
(1), (2), (3) or (6) above shall be deemed to constitute Cause if such act or
failure to act is deemed by the Company to be curable and is corrected within

basis; provided, however, that Executive will be afforded only one (1)
opportunity to cure under this Agreement.

reasonably determined by the Company, it being understood that any manual
intervention planned by Calumet or deemed required to be undertaken by Calumet

by the CEO within his sole discretion to an amount equal to or less than one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Salary.

9.    Health, Welfare, Retirement and Other Benefits. Executive shall be
entitled to continue to participate in any employee health, welfare, retirement,

Company’s 401(k) plan, in which the Executive participated immediately prior to
the Effective Date of this Agreement, subject to the eligibility and

12.    Termination by Executive or Upon Expiration of the Term. Executive may
terminate Executive’s employment with the Company before the end of the Term by
giving the Company not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice of intent to
terminate. Upon such voluntary termination (i.e., resignation) by Executive or
upon his termination by expiration of the Term, the Company’s obligations under
this Agreement shall immediately expire, except that: (i) on the next regular
payday following the Separation Date the Company shall pay Executive that
portion of Executive’s Base Salary earned; (ii) the Company shall also pay

portion of Executive’s Base Salary earned and any accrued benefits vested
through the Separation Date, including any fully-vested phantom units in the
Calumet GP, LLC Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (in accordance with the
terms of that plan) and the SAP Bonus if fully earned by the Separation Date
(subject to execution of the Severance Agreement and it becoming effective); and
(ii) continue payment of Executive’s Base Salary for the following periods of
time, depending on the timing of SAP Go-Live and the Project End Date:
a.
If SAP Go-Live is achieved on or before July 1, 2017, then Executive shall
continue to receive the Base Salary on a semimonthly basis until the earlier of
October 1, 2017 and the Project End Date;

b.
If SAP Go-Live is not achieved by July 1, 2017, but is achieved by August 1,
2017, then Executive shall continue to receive the Base Salary on a semimonthly
basis until the earlier of November 1, 2017 and the Project End Date; provided,
however, that such Base Salary shall be reduced by Twenty-Five Percent (25%) on
and after July 1, 2017; and

c.
If SAP Go-Live is achieved between September 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018, then
Executive shall continue to receive the Base Salary on a semimonthly basis until
the earlier of April 1, 2018 and the Project End Date; provided, however, that
such Base Salary shall be reduced by Fifty Percent (50%) on and after July 1,
2017.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will such salary continuation be paid
until the Effective Date of the Severance Agreement (as defined therein) or
extend for more than six (6) months after the Separation Date. For avoidance of
doubt, Executive shall not be entitled to salary continuation if he receives the
SAP Bonus or a partial SAP Bonus pursuant to the following paragraph.
In addition to the above payments, if the Company terminates Executive’s
employment without Cause anytime between fifteen (15) days prior to SAP Go-Live
and the Project End Date, Executive will be entitled to fifty percent (50%) of
the SAP Bonus and all of the Additional Benefits, conditioned upon the Parties’
execution of the Severance Agreement. The reduced SAP Bonus amount will be paid
to Executive on the later of the date that is fourteen (14) days after the
Project End Date and fourteen (14) days after the Effective Date of the
Severance Agreement (as defined therein).
The Company shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement,
except

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

as otherwise provided by law (e.g., COBRA rights).
14.    Termination by Company for Cause. (a) The Company may terminate
Executive’s employment for Cause (as defined in Section 6 herein) at any time by
providing Executive ten (10) days’ written notice of intent to terminate with
Cause, identifying the Cause for termination. Upon termination of Executive’s
employment with the Company for Cause, the Company’s obligations under this
Agreement shall immediately expire, except that the Company shall pay Executive
that portion of Executive’s Base Salary earned, and any accrued benefits vested,
through the Separation Date, including any fully-vested phantom units in the
Calumet GP, LLC Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (in accordance with the
terms of that plan) and the SAP Bonus if fully earned by the Separation Date
(subject to execution of the Severance Agreement and it becoming effective). The
Company shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement,
except as otherwise provided by law (e.g., COBRA rights).
15.    Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable or benefits
provided under this Agreement such federal, state, or local taxes as shall be
required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
16.    Code Section 409A Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, no party, either individually or jointly, may accelerate the payment
(in time or schedule) of any amount deferred by this Agreement, unless such
acceleration is permitted by Code Section 409A, the Treasury Regulations
thereto, or other regulatory guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service
(“409A Requirements”). Those provisions of the Agreement establishing and
explaining Executive’s rights to nonqualified deferred compensation, as well as
all other nonqualified deferred compensation plans in which Executive
participates, shall be interpreted, construed, and applied in a manner
consistent with the requirements for nonqualified deferred compensation plans
established by the 409A Requirements. To the extent that there is any conflict
between a provision of the Agreement and the 409A Requirements, the applicable
provision of the 409A Requirements will control. Those provisions of the
Agreement establishing and explaining Executive’s rights to nonqualified
deferred compensation shall not be amended or terminated in a manner that would
cause Executive’s vested rights to deferred compensation to be subject to early
inclusion in income as provided in Code Section 409A.
17.    Severability. Should any particular section, covenant, restriction, or
language included in this Agreement be held to be unreasonable or unenforceable
for any reason, then such section, covenant, restriction, or language shall be
given effect and enforced to whatever extent would be reasonable and
enforceable. All remaining sections, covenants, restrictions, and language shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof.
18.    Entire Agreement and Amendment. This Agreement comprises the entire
agreement between the Parties and supersedes and nullifies any previous
agreement between the Parties, whether oral or written, concerning the subject
matter contained herein, expressly including the 2014 Employment Agreement;
provided, however, that the following provisions of the 2014 Employment
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect through the Separation Date and
for the post-employment periods, if any, contained in each such section: (a)
Section 8 (Confidentiality); (b) Section 9 (Non-Competition; Non Solicitation);
(c) Section 10 (Ownership of Intellectual Property); (d) Section 13
(Indemnification); and (f) Section 23 (Deemed Resignations). No statement or
promise, except as herein set forth, has been made with respect to the subject
matter

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of this Agreement. No modification or amendment hereof shall be effective unless
in writing and signed by both Parties.
19.    Notices. Any notice required or desired to be given under this Agreement
shall be deemed validly given if in writing and sent by personal delivery,
nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees prepaid), facsimile or
email (with confirmation of transmission), or certified or registered mail (in
each case, return receipt requested, postage prepaid) to Executive’s residence
in Zionsville, Indiana, or to the Company (attention CEO) at the Partnership’s
Indianapolis headquarters, or to such other address as either Party shall have
furnished to the other in writing. All notices under this Agreement shall be
deemed delivered the earlier of: (i) three (3) business days after deposited in
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; (ii)
one (1) business day after sent guaranteed next day delivery by a nationally
recognized overnight delivery service; or (iii) receipt by the receiving Party.
20.    Assignment of Contract. The Parties acknowledge that the services to be
rendered by Executive are unique and personal and, therefore, this Agreement may
not be assigned by Executive without the prior written consent of the Company.
The Company may assign this Agreement in its discretion. Any assignment in
violation of this Section 20 of the Agreement is void.
21.    Waiver of Breach. No act or omission by the Company shall be deemed a
waiver by the Company of any of the Company’s rights under this Agreement.
Executive acknowledges that every situation is unique and the Company may need
to respond differently to the actions by one employee than to the actions of
another employee. Therefore, the failure of the Company to enforce the same,
similar, or different restrictions against another employee or to seek a
different remedy shall not be construed as a waiver or estoppel to the
enforcement of the Agreement’s restrictions against Executive.
22.    Binding Effect. This Agreement, which has heretofore been approved by the
Company, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its
successors and assigns, including, without limitation, any person, partnership,
corporation or other business entity which may acquire substantially all of the
assets or business of the Company; obtain more than fifty percent (50%) of the
membership interests of the Company; otherwise secure a majority interest in the
Company; or with or into which the Company may be liquidated, consolidated,
merged, or otherwise combined.
23.    Counterparts and Headings. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which, when
taken together, shall constitute one agreement. The Parties agree that
signatures transmitted by facsimile, pdf, or other electronic means are fully
acceptable as much as original signatures for the execution of this Agreement.
The section headings contained herein are for convenience only, and in the event
of any conflict, the text of this Agreement, rather than the section headings,
will control.
24.    Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Indiana without regard to its choice of law rules. The venue for
any dispute arising out of, or in any way relating to, this Agreement or
Executive’s employment shall be in a state court located in Marion County,
Indiana, or the United States District Court for the Southern District of
Indiana.

to the actions by one employee or the facts of one situation than to the actions
of another employee or the facts of another situation. Therefore, the failure of
the Company to enforce the same, similar, or different restrictions against
Executive or another employee or to seek a different remedy shall not be
construed as a waiver or estoppel to the enforcement of the Agreement’s
restrictions against Executive.

11.Non-Disparagement. Executive specifically understands and agrees that
Executive shall not disparage, demean, or otherwise communicate through any
means, including social media, any information damaging or potentially damaging

party, including, but not limited to, the media and business community and any
past or present employees of the Company, without the express written consent of

shall not apply to any information, complaint, or other communication that
Executive may in good faith file with or communicate to any judicial or other
governmental entity or agency concerning any of the Released Parties.

Executive of any provision of this Agreement, including surviving provisions of
the 2014 Employment Agreement as set out in Section 16 below, nullifies any
obligation of the Company to provide or continue to provide the Severance
Package and obligates Executive to return to the Company all monies already paid
to him and on his behalf under this Agreement at the time of the breach except
for One Hundred Dollars ($100.00), and permits the Company to pursue any other
legal or equitable relief to which it is otherwise entitled as the result of
such breach. Executive also understands and agrees that Executive will be
responsible for payment of the Company’s attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of
a successful effort to pursue legal action against Executive in connection with
such breach.
14.No Admission of Liability by the Released Parties. Executive agrees that
neither this Agreement nor the furnishing of the consideration for this
Agreement shall be deemed or construed at any time for any purpose as an
admission by the Released Parties or any of them of any liability or unlawful
conduct of any kind.
15.Changes Must Be in Writing. This Agreement may not be modified, altered, or
changed except upon the express written consent of both Parties in which
specific reference is made to this Agreement.
16.Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between
Executive and the Company with regard to Executive’s separation and fully
supersedes any prior agreements or understandings between the Parties with
regard to the same subject; provided, however, that this Agreement shall have no
effect on any restrictive covenants that would otherwise survive the termination
of Executive’s employment contained in any non-compete, non-solicitation,
intellectual property, or non-disclosure obligations or commitments that are
presently in place by virtue of existing contract or policy restrictions on
Executive arising out of or in connection with Executive’s employment with the
Company, including without limitation any contained in the “Employment
Agreement” the Parties executed in or about May 2014 or the “Employment and
Transition Agreement” the Parties executed in or about March 2017. Executive
acknowledges that Executive has not relied on any representations, promises, or
agreements of any kind made to Executive in connection with Executive’s decision
to sign this Agreement, except for those set forth in this Agreement.

severable. If any court or other governmental body of competent jurisdiction

ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions and covenants hereunder.    
18.Successors Are Bound. Each of the agreements and promises contained in this
Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the heirs,
executors, assignees, administrators, agents, and successors in interest to each
of the Parties.    
19.Section Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are inserted solely

each of which (including a facsimile or pdf attachment to e-mail thereof) shall
be deemed an original, but which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. The facsimile or pdf shall be admissible in any legal proceedings as
if it were a manually signed original.

THAT RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS,
TORT CLAIMS, FRAUD CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.
