                   SUMMARY OF GENESIS ENERGY, INC. BONUS PLAN

The Genesis Energy, Inc. Bonus Plan is administered by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of Genesis Energy, Inc., the General Partner
of Genesis Energy, L.P. The Bonus Plan is at the discretion of the Compensation
Committee, and the General Partner can amend, change or cancel the Bonus Plan at
any time. The General Counsel of the General Partner is designated as the Plan
Administrator and is the person authorized to declare a Bonus or resolve
questions related to the Bonus Plan.

The Bonus Plan is based on the amount of money we generate for distributions to
our investors. We will make a contribution to the Bonus Pool every time we have
earned $1,619,793 of Available Cash (as defined in the Partnership Agreement)
excluding the effects of the bonus accrual made so far during the year for
bonuses. Each $1,619,793 earned is referred to as a "Bucket". If Genesis Energy,
L.P. issues additional Common Units, the Bucket Size will be increased
proportionally based on the number of additional Common Units issued. Whenever
we earn a Bucket, we will contribute a portion of that Bucket to the Bonus Pool.
For each additional Bucket, a larger percentage of the Bucket will be
contributed to the Bonus Pool. Contributions will be deducted from the Bonus
Pool if Available Cash earned for the year decreases. A maximum of nine Buckets
are available under the Bonus Plan. There will be no contribution for partial
Buckets.

Contributions to the Bonus Pool will be made in accordance with the following
schedule:

The Bonus Pool will be distributed as follows:

-    Each eligible employee will receive a bonus after the end of the year equal
     to a specified percentage of their year-to-date gross wages. Certain
     compensation, such as car allowances and relocation expenses, will be
     excluded from the calculation. Each employee must be a regular, full-time
     active employee, not on probation, at the time the bonus is paid in order
     to receive a bonus. The date of payment of the bonuses is at the discretion
     of management, but bonuses will not be paid until after annual earnings
     have been released to the public.

-    There will be four levels of participation in the Plan. Employees in each
     level will be eligible for a bonus each year in accordance with the
     following table. The determination of what level applies to each employee
     will be made by the Compensation Committee based on the recommendation of
     the Chief Executive Officer. The Executive Officers and Directors will be
     included in Level Four.

<PAGE>

-    The percentage of adjusted year-to-date gross wages paid as a bonus will be
     a function of the number of Buckets earned during the year and the
     employee's Participation Level in the Bonus Plan. The bonus amount each
     employee is entitled to receive will be determined in accordance with the
     table shown below. The bonus may be adjusted up or down to reflect
     individual performance.

-    The total of all bonuses paid may not exceed the total Bonus Pool. Should
     the amount of bonuses calculated in accordance with the table below exceed
     the total Bonus Pool available, all calculated bonuses will be reduced
     proportionately. Should the adjusted amount of bonuses calculated in
     accordance with the table below be less than the Bonus Pool, the Bonus Pool
     shall be reduced to the calculated amount.

the Company shall maintain for the Executive any specific benefits set forth in Schedule 1.
	 
	4.4  	Vacation; Holidays; Sick Leave. During the Employment the Executive shall be entitled to

Salary may be increased (but not decreased) from time to time as determined by the Company’s
board of directors or the compensation committee thereof. The Executive’s Bonus Potential At
Target shall be automatically increased by the same percentage as any increase in the Base
Salary as provided in Section 4.1. Any increase in Base Salary shall not limit or reduce any
other obligation of the Company to the Executive under this Agreement. The Base Salary may
not be decreased without the Executive’s express prior written consent.

the Employment will be the termination date stated in the Company’s notice of termination to
the Executive or in the Executive’s notice of resignation to the Company, as applicable.
	 
	5.2  	Notice of Resignation; Waiver of Notice Period. If the Executive resigns from the Company,
the Executive will give the Company at least two (2) weeks’ prior notice of resignation. The
Company may in its discretion waive any notice period stated in the Executive’s notice of
resignation, in which case the Termination Date of the Employment will be the date of such
waiver.
	 
	5.3  	No Termination of Agreement Per Se. Termination of the Employment will not terminate this
Agreement per se; to the extent that either party has any right under applicable law to
terminate this Agreement, any such termination of this Agreement shall be deemed solely to be
a termination of the Employment without affecting any other right or obligation hereunder
except as provided herein in connection with termination of the Employment.

become subject to a Disability during the Employment (pursuant to the definition of Disability
as set forth in this Agreement) and that it intends to terminate the Employment for that
reason, then it shall give to the Executive written notice in accordance with this Agreement
of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. If the Company gives the Executive

Company and its employees by inducing any such employee to terminate his or her
employment;
	 
	 	(c)  	solicit for employment, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Executive or any

unreasonably broad or otherwise unenforceable under applicable law, then (i) such

Exhibit 10.67

Executive: Shekar Ayyar

Schedule 1

	 	 	 
	Effective Date

	 	July 19, 2004
	 
	 	 
	Office

	 	Senior Vice President
	 
	 	 
	Position

	 	Responsible for Product Marketing
	 
	 	 
	Base Salary

	 	Initially, $190,000 per year
($15,833.33 per month, with first month
pro-rated). Effective April 1, 2005,
minimum annual base compensation will be
$200,000 ($16,666.67 per month).
	 
	 	 
	Bonus Potential At Target

	 	Initially, $190,000 per year. Any
bonus for 2004 will be pro-rated on a
360-day year, reduced by $50,000 (the
amount of the signing bonus below), and
tied solely to the Executive’s achievement
of his individual management objectives set
by the Company. Effective April 1, 2005,
the Executive’s Bonus Potential At Target
will be $200,000 (pro-rated for 2005).
	 
	 	 
	Signing bonus

	 	$50,000, to be paid as additional
compensation when the Executive starts work
for the Company, in anticipation of the
Executive’s continuing to work for the
Company at least six (6) months. The
Executive shall not be obligated to repay
any portion of the signing bonus, nor to
pay any interest thereon, nor to execute a
promissory note or similar instrument
concerning the signing bonus, except as
provided in the next sentence. If, at any
time during the six (6) months following
the Effective Date, either (i) the
Executive resigns other than for Good
Reason or (ii) the Company terminates the
Executive’s employment for Cause, then the
Executive shall forfeit a pro-rata portion
of the signing bonus and agrees to repay it
to the Company, without interest, within 10
business days thereafter. HYPOTHETICAL
EXAMPLE: If the Executive were to resign
for other than Good Reason effective
October 19, 2004, then he would forfeit 3/6

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF GENERAL RELEASE

I, the undersigned, execute this release (“Release”) in consideration of, and as a
condition precedent to, my being provided certain Severance Benefits pursuant to an Executive

hereby fully release and discharge BindView, its parent, subsidiary, and affiliate corporations,
and related companies, as well as all predecessors, successors, assigns, directors, officers,
partners, agents, employees, former employees, heirs, executors, attorneys, and administrators
(hereinafter “BindView, et al.”), from all suits, causes of action, and/or claims of any nature
whatsoever, whether known, unknown, or unforeseen, which I have or may have against BindView, et
al., arising out of any event, transaction, or matter that occurred before the date of my signing
of this Release. I covenant that neither I, nor any person, organization, or other entity on my
behalf, will sue BindView, et al., or initiate any type of action for damages, against BindView, et
al. with respect to any event, transaction, or matter that occurred before the date of my signing
of this Release. I understand and agree that this Release is a GENERAL RELEASE.

2. This Release specifically includes, but is not limited to, a release of all claims of breach of
contract, employment discrimination, (including, but not limited to, discrimination on the basis of
race, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability or any other protected status, and coming
within the scope of Title VII of the U.S. Civil Rights Act, as amended, the U.S. Age Discrimination
