 Re: Qualified IPO Election Notice 

Dear Vincent, 
 Gulf Coast Asphalt Company,
L.L.C. (“GCAC”, “we” or “our”) acknowledges receipt of the Qualified IPO Notice and Qualified IPO Pro Forma (each as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement of Arc Terminals
LP, dated as of February 8, 2013 (the “Partnership Agreement”)) on October 2, 2013. Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Partnership
Agreement. 
 Pursuant to Section 5.6(e)(ii) of the Partnership Agreement (other than with respect to the modifications as provided
herein) and in connection with the Qualified IPO Notice, GCAC, as holder of all of the Initial Preferred Units, hereby provides this notice of GCAC’s election to: 
  

	 	A.	have the Partnership redeem 1,450,000 of the Initial Preferred Units held by GCAC on the Qualified IPO Closing Date for cash at the Preferred Unit Liquidation Price for each such Initial Preferred Unit held by GCAC on
the Qualified IPO Closing Date; and 

  

	 	B.	have 50,000 of the Initial Preferred Units held by GCAC converted into or exchanged for Common Units (or comparable equity interests of an Affiliate of the Partnership which issues securities that are sold in connection
with the Qualified IPO to which the Qualified IPO Notice relates) and Subordinated Units (or comparable equity interests of an Affiliate of the Partnership which issues securities that are sold in connection with the Qualified IPO to which the
Qualified IPO Notice relates) in the same proportion as Common Units and Subordinated Units received by Affiliates of the General Partner on the Qualified IPO Closing Date in connection with the Qualified IPO to which the Qualified IPO Notice
relates. 

 In connection with the foregoing: 
  

	 	•	 	 The Partnership acknowledges its obligations, and Arc Logistics Partners LP (“Arc Logistics”) assumes the Partnership’s and each
of its Affiliate’s obligations, set forth in 



  
 1 









	 	 
Section 5.6(f)(ii)(D) of the Partnership Agreement and Section 6.3(b) of the GCAC Purchase and Sale Agreement, which provisions, for the avoidance of doubt, are intended to apply to
ensure that, until such time as GCAC disposes of all of the Retained Sponsor Units (or any other interests in any Affiliate of the Partnership into which the Retained Sponsor Units are converted or exchanged), Arc Logistics and/or the Partnership
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Conditional Guaranty (as such term is defined in the GCAC Purchase and Sale Agreement) and allow GCAC to provide a similar guaranty with respect to other indebtedness of Arc Logistics, the
Partnership or their respective Subsidiaries if such other guaranty is reasonably necessary to ensure that GCAC’s share of the liabilities of Arc Logistics, as determined pursuant Treasury Regulation Sections 1.752-2 and 1.752-3, shall continue
to be the lesser of the aggregate amount of Arc Logistics’ outstanding indebtedness (if any) and $20,000,000. GCAC acknowledges that the execution by GCAC of a conditional guaranty and a related letter agreement (in forms substantially the same
as the Conditional Guaranty and the letter agreement relating thereto), in each case in connection with the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement to be entered into by and among Arc Logistics and the other parties thereto on or
about the Qualified IPO Closing Date (the “A/R Credit Agreement”), satisfies the obligation of the Partnership and Arc Logistics to allow GCAC to a provide a guarantee similar to the Guaranty with respect to the A/R Credit
Agreement, based on the facts and circumstances in effect on the effective date of the A/R Credit Agreement. 


  

	 	•	 	GCAC waives any right to registration rights as provided for in that letter agreement, dated February 8, 2013, among GCAC, Arc Terminals GP LLC and the Partnership, provided, that, if and when GCAC should revoke
this election notice in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the waiver contained in this clause shall also be revoked and be of no further force or effect; and 


 

	 	•	 	The Partnership and the General Partner each agree that any accrued and unpaid Preferred Unit Distributions (whether or not declared by the Partnership) with respect to the 1,500,000 Initial Preferred Units held by GCAC
with respect to the period from July 1, 2013 through the Qualified IPO Closing Date will be paid in cash on the Qualified IPO Closing Date; provided that, if any such Preferred Unit Distributions are due and/or payable on one or more dates
prior to the Qualified IPO Closing Date, the Partnership shall pay the same in cash on each such earlier date; further provided, that any such Preferred Unit Distributions solely with respect to the 50,000 Initial Preferred Units to be converted or
exchanged as of, the Qualified IPO Closing Date will be reduced by the Deferred Value Adjustment (calculated on a per Initial Preferred Unit basis) and for purposes of the definition in the Partnership Agreement of “Qualified IPO Conversion
Units” and the calculation thereof, the Deferred Value Adjustment shall be zero. The Partnership estimates that the aggregate Deferred Value Adjustment with respect to such 50,000 Initial Preferred Units would be $57,010 based on a Qualified
IPO Closing Date of November 14, 2013 (such amount to be revised accordingly for any changes in the Qualified IPO Closing Date). 


Each of GCAC, the Partnership, the General Partner and Arc Logistics hereby represents and warrants, as to itself, that (a) it has the
entity power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this letter and its obligations hereunder, (b) it has taken all requisite actions necessary to execute and deliver this letter and perform its obligations under this letter, and
(c) this letter constitutes its valid and binding obligation enforceable against such entity in accordance with its terms. The execution, delivery and performance of this letter by the Partnership and the General Partner and the performance of
their 

  
 2 








 
respective obligations hereunder is permitted by the Partnership Agreement without the approval of any Partner or Assignee other than the parties hereto. GCAC, the Partnership and the General
Partner each agree that this letter constitutes the election (and notice) by the holder of the Initial Preferred Units contemplated by the second sentence of Section 5.6(e)(ii) of the Partnership Agreement and is in compliance therewith. 

This letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regards to principles of
conflicts of law.
