RISK FACTORS

        An investment in the notes is subject to numerous risks, including those listed below. You should carefully consider the following risks, the risk factors contained in the sections titled "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014, as well as the information provided elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference. While these are the risks and uncertainties we believe are most important for you to consider, you should know that they are not the only risks or uncertainties facing us or which may adversely affect our business. These risks could materially affect our ability to meet our obligations under the notes. You could lose all or part of your investment in and fail to achieve the expected return on the notes

Risks Related to Investing in the New Notes

         Our leverage and debt service obligations may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects and our ability to make payments on the notes.

        As of March 31, 2014, we had $1,637.0 million of total long-term indebtedness, including $922.0 million of debt outstanding under our Credit Agreement and approximately $250 million aggregate principal amount of our senior secured notes, and we had additional borrowing capacity of $528.4 million under our Credit Agreement (net of $270.6 million of outstanding letters of credit). Our level of indebtedness could affect our operations in several ways, including the following:

•

requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our existing debt, thereby reducing the cash available to finance our operations and other business activities and limiting our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;



•

increasing our vulnerability to economic downturns and adverse developments in our business;



•

limiting our ability to access the capital markets to raise capital on favorable terms or to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures or acquisitions or to refinance existing indebtedness;



•

placing restrictions on our ability to obtain additional financing, make investments, lease equipment, sell assets and engage in business combinations;



•

placing us at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors with lower levels of indebtedness in relation to their overall size or less restrictive terms governing their indebtedness; and



•

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under the notes or other debt and increasing the risk that we may default on our debt obligations.

        Our leverage could have important consequences to investors in the notes. We will require substantial cash flow to meet our principal and interest obligations with respect to the notes and our other indebtedness. Our ability to make scheduled payments, to refinance our obligations with respect to our indebtedness or our ability to obtain additional financing in the future will depend on our financial and operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors. We believe that we will have sufficient cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement to service our indebtedness. However, a significant downturn in our business or other development adversely affecting our cash flow could materially impair our ability to service our indebtedness. If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to refinance all or a portion of our debt or sell assets. We cannot assure you that we would be able to refinance our existing indebtedness or sell assets on terms that are commercially reasonable.

11

Table of Contents

         We have a holding company structure in which our subsidiaries conduct our operations and own our operating assets.

        We are a holding company, and our operating subsidiaries conduct all of our operations and own all of our operating assets. We have no significant assets other than our interest in our operating subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to make required payments on the notes depends on the performance of our operating subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us may be restricted by, among other things, our Credit Agreement and the purchase agreement governing our Existing Senior Secured Notes and applicable state partnership laws and other laws and regulations. If we are unable to obtain the funds necessary to pay the principal amount at maturity of the notes, or to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a change of control, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as a refinancing of the notes or a sale of assets. We may not be able to refinance the notes or sell assets on acceptable terms, or at all.

         Despite our current level of indebtedness, we may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

        We may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, subject to certain limitations, including under our Credit Agreement and under the indenture for the notes. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face could increase. Our level of indebtedness could, for instance, prevent us from engaging in transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to us or from making desirable capital expenditures. This could put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to other less leveraged competitors that have more cash flow to devote to their operations. In addition, the incurrence of additional indebtedness could make it more difficult to satisfy our existing financial obligations, including those relating to the notes.

         The notes and the guarantees are unsecured and effectively subordinated to our and our subsidiary guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness.

        The notes and the guarantees are general unsecured senior obligations ranking effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt of ours and that of any subsidiary guarantors, including obligations under our Credit Agreement and our Existing Senior Secured Notes, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the debt. If we or any subsidiary guarantor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent or is liquidated or reorganized, any secured debt of ours or of such subsidiary guarantor will be entitled to be paid in full from our assets or the assets of such subsidiary guarantor, as applicable, securing that debt before any payment may be made with respect to the notes or the affected guarantees. Holders of the notes will participate ratably with all holders of our other unsecured indebtedness that does not rank junior to the notes, including all of our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the notes. As a result, holders of the notes would likely receive less, ratably, than holders of secured indebtedness.

         The notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

        The notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the notes. These non-guarantor subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the notes, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by loans, distributions or other payments. Any right that we or the subsidiary guarantors have to receive any assets of any of the non-guarantor subsidiaries upon the liquidation or reorganization of those non-guarantor subsidiaries, and the consequent rights of

12

---

Table of Contents

holders of notes to realize proceeds from the sale of any of those non-guarantor subsidiaries' assets, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of those non-guarantor subsidiaries' creditors, including trade creditors and holders of preferred equity interests of those non-guarantor subsidiaries. Accordingly, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, these non-guarantor subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debts, holders of preferred equity interests and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us. As March 31, 2014, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had no material indebtedness outstanding.

         Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

        Borrowings under our Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase and we are unable to effectively hedge our interest rate risk, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even if the amount borrowed remained the same, and our cash available for servicing our indebtedness would decrease. A 1.0% increase in interest rates on the debt outstanding under our facility as of March 31, 2014 would have cost us approximately $9.2 million in additional annual interest expense.

         We may not have the funds necessary to finance the repurchase of the notes in connection with a change of control offer required by the indenture.

        Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, the indenture governing the notes requires us to make an offer to repurchase all such notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (and liquidated damages, if any) to the date of repurchase. However, it is possible that we will not have sufficient funds, or the ability to raise sufficient funds, at the time of the change of control to make the required repurchase of the notes. In addition, restrictions under our Credit Agreement and the Existing Senior Secured Notes may not allow us to make such a repurchase upon a change of control. If we could not refinance our Credit Agreement or Existing Senior Secured Notes or otherwise obtain a waiver from the holders of such debt, we would be prohibited from repurchasing the notes, which would constitute an event of default under the indenture. In addition, certain important corporate events, such as leveraged recapitalizations that would increase the level of our indebtedness, would not constitute a "Change of Control" under the indenture. Because the definition of change of control under our Credit Agreement differs from that under the indenture, there may be a change of control and resulting default under our Credit Agreement at a time when no change of control has occurred under the indenture. Please read "Description of Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control."

         Holders of the notes may not be able to determine when a change of control giving rise to their right to have the notes repurchased has occurred following a sale of "substantially all" of our assets.

        The definition of change of control in the indenture governing the notes includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of the Partnership and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require us to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of the Partnership and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person or group may be uncertain.

Table of Contents

         Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from subsidiary guarantors.

        Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee of the notes could be voided, or claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debts of that subsidiary guarantor, if, among other things, the subsidiary guarantor, at the time it incurred the debt evidenced by its guarantee:

•

received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such guarantee;



•

was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence; was engaged in a business or transaction for which the subsidiary guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or



•

intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

        In addition, any payment by that subsidiary guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the subsidiary guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of our creditors or the creditors of the guarantor.

        The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a subsidiary guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

•

the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;



•

if the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as



•

they become absolute and mature; or



•

it could not pay its debts as they become due.

        On the basis of historical financial information, recent operating history and other factors, we believe that each subsidiary guarantor, after giving effect to its guarantee of the notes, will not be insolvent, will not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged and will not have incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. We cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.

         If an active trading market does not develop for the new notes you may not be able to resell them.

        Prior to this offering, there was no trading market for the new notes, and we cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop. If no active trading market develops, you may not be able to resell your notes at their fair market value or at all. Future trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including, among other things, our ability to consummate this exchange offer, prevailing interest rates, our operating results and the market for similar securities. We do not intend to apply to list the notes on any securities exchange.

         Many of the covenants contained in the indenture will terminate if the notes are rated investment grade by any two of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, Moody's Investor Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings, Inc. and no default has occurred and is continuing.

        Many of the covenants in the indenture governing the notes will terminate if the notes are rated investment grade by any two of Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch provided that at such time no default has occurred and is continuing. The covenants restrict, among other things, our ability to pay distributions, incur debt and to enter into certain other transactions. There can be no assurance that the notes will ever be rated investment grade. However, termination of these covenants would allow us to engage in certain transactions that would not have been permitted while these covenants were in force, and the effects of any such transactions will be permitted to remain in place even if the notes are subsequently downgraded below investment grade. See "Description of Notes—Certain Covenants—Covenant Termination."

         The tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships could be subject to potential legislative, judicial or administrative changes and differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis.

        The present U.S. federal income tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships, including us, may be modified by administrative, legislative or judicial interpretation at any time. For example, from time to time, members of the U.S. Congress propose and consider substantive changes to the existing federal income tax laws that affect certain publicly traded partnerships. We are unable to predict whether any such proposals will ultimately be enacted. However, it is possible that a change in law could affect us and may be applied retroactively. Any such changes could cause a material reduction in our anticipated cash flow, which could materially and adversely affect our ability to make payments on the notes and our other debt obligations and could cause a reduction in the value of the notes.

EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

        We sold the old notes on October 16, 2013 pursuant to the purchase agreement, dated as of October 10, 2013, by and among us, our subsidiary guarantors and the initial purchasers named therein. The old notes were subsequently offered by the initial purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

        We sold the old notes in transactions that were exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements under the Securities Act. Accordingly, the old notes are subject to transfer restrictions. In general, you may not offer or sell the old notes unless either they are registered under the Securities Act or the offer or sale is exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

        In connection with the sale of the old notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the old notes. In that agreement, we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file an exchange offer registration statement after the closing date following the offering of the old notes. Now, to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement, we are offering holders of the old notes who are able to make certain representations described below the opportunity to exchange their old notes for the new notes in the exchange offer. The exchange offer will be open for a period of at least 20 business days. During the exchange offer period, we will exchange the new notes for all old notes properly surrendered and not withdrawn before the expiration date. The new notes will be registered under the Securities Act, and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and provisions for additional interest relating to the old notes will not apply to the new notes.

        For each old note surrendered to us pursuant to the exchange offer, the holder of such old note will receive a new note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered old note. Interest on each new note will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the surrendered old note. The registration rights agreement also provides an agreement to include in the prospectus for the exchange offer certain information necessary to allow a broker-dealer who holds old notes that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other ordinary course trading activities (other than old notes acquired directly from us or one of our affiliates) to exchange such old notes pursuant to the exchange offer and to satisfy the prospectus delivery requirements in connection with resales of new notes received by such broker-dealer in the exchange offer. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the exchange offer registration statement for these purposes for a period ending on the earlier of 180 days from the date on which the exchange offer registration statement is declared effective and the date on which the broker-dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities.

        The preceding agreement is needed because any broker-dealer who acquires old notes for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities is required to deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act. This prospectus covers the offer and sale of the new notes pursuant to the exchange offer and the resale of new notes received in the exchange offer by any broker-dealer who held old notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, other than old notes acquired directly from us or one of our affiliates.

        Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the new notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer would in general be freely tradable after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act. However, any

16

Table of Contents

purchaser of old notes who is an "affiliate" of ours or who intends to participate in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing the related new notes:

•

will not be able to rely on the interpretation of the staff of the SEC,



•

will not be able to tender its old notes in the exchange offer, and



•

must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any sale or transfer of the old notes unless such sale or transfer is made pursuant to an exemption from such requirements.

        Each holder of the old notes (other than certain specified holders) who desires to exchange old notes for the new notes in the exchange offer will be required to make the representations described below under "—Procedures for Tendering—Your Representations to Us."

        We further agreed to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement to register for public resale old notes held by any holder who provides us with certain information for inclusion in the shelf registration statement if:

•

the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy;



•

for any reason the exchange offer is not consummated within 30 business days after October 16, 2014; or



•

prior to the 20th business day following the consummation of this offering, any holder notifies us that:



•

the holder is prohibited by applicable law or SEC policy from participating in the exchange offer;



•

the holder may not resell the new notes acquired in the exchange offer to the public without delivering a prospectus, and the prospectus contained in the exchange offer is not appropriate or available for such resales by such purchaser; or



•

the holder is a broker-dealer and holds old notes acquired directly from us or one of our affiliates that are not freely tradeable, and such holder cannot participate in the exchange offer.

        We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file the shelf registration with the SEC on or before the 30 days after the occurrence of the events described in the first three bullets above, which date we refer to as the "shelf filing deadline," and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective on or before 90 days after the shelf filing deadline. We have also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the shelf registration statement continuously effective from the date on which the shelf registration statement is declared effective by the SEC until the earlier of the first anniversary of the effective date of such shelf registration statement and such time as all notes covered by the shelf registration statement have been sold or are freely tradeable. We refer to this period as the "shelf effectiveness period."

        If:

(1)

the Issuers and the subsidiary guarantors become obligated under the registration rights agreement to file a shelf registration statement and fail to do so on or before the shelf filing deadline;



(2)

any registration statement required by the registration rights agreement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness (the "Effectiveness Target Date");

17

---

Table of Contents

(3)

the Issuers and the subsidiary guarantors fail to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days of the Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the exchange offer registration statement; or



(4)

the shelf registration statement or the exchange offer registration statement is declared effective by the SEC but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable for its intended purpose (with such event referred to in clauses (1) through (4) above, a "Registration Default");

then the Issuers and the subsidiary guarantors will pay liquidated damages to each holder of notes, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the first Registration Default in an amount equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum on the principal amount of notes held by such holder. The amount of the liquidated damages will increase by an additional one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum on the principal amount of notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of liquidated damages for all Registration Defaults of one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum. All accrued liquidated damages will be paid by the Issuers (or the subsidiary guarantors, if applicable) in the manner provided for with respect to the payment of interest in the Indenture as more fully set forth in the Indenture and the notes. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of liquidated damages will cease.

        Holders of the old notes will be required to make certain representations to us (as described below under "—Procedures for Tendering") in order to participate in the exchange offer and will be required to deliver information to be used in connection with the shelf registration statement and to provide comments on the shelf registration statement within the time periods set forth in the registration rights agreement in order to have their old notes included in the shelf registration statement.

        If we effect the registered exchange offer, we will be entitled to close the registered exchange offer 20 business days after its commencement as long as we have accepted all old notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer and no brokers or dealers continue to hold any old notes.

        This summary of the material provisions of the registration rights agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the registration rights agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

        Except as set forth above, after consummation of the exchange offer, holders of old notes that are the subject of the exchange offer will have no registration or exchange rights under the registration rights agreement. See "—Consequences of Failure to Exchange."

Terms of the Exchange Offer

        Subject to the terms and conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange any old notes properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. We will issue new notes in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of old notes surrendered in the exchange offer. Old notes may be tendered only for new notes and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

        The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of old notes being tendered for exchange.

        As of the date of this prospectus, $450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the old notes is outstanding. This prospectus and the letter of transmittal are being sent to all registered holders of old

18

Table of Contents

notes. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of old notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.

        We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement, the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Old notes that the holders thereof do not tender for exchange in the exchange offer will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest. These old notes will continue to be entitled to the rights and benefits such holders have under the indenture relating to the notes and the registration rights agreement.

        We will be deemed to have accepted for exchange properly tendered old notes when we have given oral or written notice of the acceptance to the exchange agent and complied with the applicable provisions of the registration rights agreement. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the new notes from us.

Expiration Date

        The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                    , 2014, unless, in our sole discretion, we extend it.

Extensions, Delays in Acceptance, Termination or Amendment

        We expressly reserve the right, at any time or various times, to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open. We may delay acceptance of any old notes by giving oral or written notice of such extension to their holders at any time until the exchange offer expires or terminates. During any such extensions, all old notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer, and we may accept them for exchange.

        In order to extend the exchange offer, we will notify the exchange agent orally or in writing of any extension. We will notify the registered holders of old notes of the extension by a press release issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

        Any such notice relating to the extension of the exchange offer will disclose the number of securities tendered as of the date of the notice, as required by Rule 14e-1(d) under the Exchange Act.

        We expressly reserve the right at our sole discretion:

•

to delay accepting the old notes, provided that any such delay is done in a manner consistent with Rule 14e-1(c) of the Exchange Act;



•

to extend the exchange offer;



•

to terminate the exchange offer and not accept old notes not previously accepted if any of the conditions listed under "—Conditions to the Exchange Offer" are not satisfied or waived by us, by giving oral or written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent; or



•

to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner.

        Following the commencement of the exchange offer, we currently anticipate that we would only delay accepting old notes tendered in the exchange offer due to an extension of the expiration date.

        We will follow any delay in acceptance, extension or termination as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice to the exchange agent.

        Any such delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice thereof to the registered holders of old notes. If we amend the

19

---

Table of Contents

exchange offer in a manner that we determine to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose such amendment by means of a prospectus supplement. The prospectus supplement will be distributed to the registered holders of the old notes. Depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders, we may extend the exchange offer. In the event of a material change in the exchange offer, including the waiver by us of a material condition, we will extend the exchange offer period, if necessary, so that at least five business days remain in the exchange offer period following notice of the material change.

        If we delay accepting any old notes or terminate the exchange offer, we will promptly return any old notes deposited pursuant to the exchange offer as required by Rule 14e-1(c).

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

        We will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange any new notes for, any old notes if the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder of old notes, would violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC. Similarly, we may terminate the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before accepting old notes for exchange in the event of such a potential violation.

        In addition, we will not be obligated to accept for exchange the old notes of any holder that has not made to us the representations described under "—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer," "—Procedures for Tendering" and "Plan of Distribution" and such other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to allow us to use an appropriate form to register the issuance of the new notes under the Securities Act.

        We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer, and to reject for exchange any old notes not previously accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions to the exchange offer specified above. We will give prompt oral or written notice of any extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the holders of the old notes as promptly as practicable.

        These conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them or waive them in whole or in part at any time or at various times in our sole discretion prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. If we fail at any time to exercise any of these rights, this failure will not mean that we have waived our rights. Each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

        In addition, we will not accept for exchange any old notes tendered, and will not issue new notes in exchange for any such old notes, if at such time any stop order has been threatened or is in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indenture relating to the notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act").

Procedures for Tendering

        In order to participate in the exchange offer, you must properly tender your old notes to the exchange agent as described below. We will only issue new notes in exchange for old notes that you timely and properly tender. Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the old notes, and you should follow carefully the instructions on how to tender your old notes. It is your responsibility to properly tender your notes. We have the right to waive any defects. However, we are not required to waive defects and are not required to notify you of defects in your tender.

        If you have any questions or need help in exchanging your notes, please call the exchange agent, whose address and phone number are set forth in "Prospectus Summary—The Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent."

Table of Contents

        All of the old notes were issued in book-entry form, and all of the old notes are currently represented by global certificates held for the account of DTC. We have confirmed with DTC that the old notes may be tendered using the Automated Tender Offer Program, or ATOP, instituted by DTC. The exchange agent will establish an account with DTC for purposes of the exchange offer promptly after the commencement of the exchange offer, and DTC participants may electronically transmit their acceptance of the exchange offer by causing DTC to transfer their old notes to the exchange agent using the ATOP procedures. In connection with the transfer, DTC will send an "agent's message" to the exchange agent. The agent's message will state that DTC has received instructions from the participant to tender old notes and that the participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal.

        By using the ATOP procedures to exchange old notes, you will not be required to deliver a letter of transmittal to the exchange agent. However, you will be bound by its terms just as if you had signed it.

        There is no procedure for guaranteed late delivery of the notes.

Determinations Under the Exchange Offer

        We will determine, in our sole discretion, all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt, acceptance of tendered old notes and withdrawal of tendered old notes. Our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any old notes not properly tendered or any old notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular old notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, all defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes must be cured within such time as we shall determine. Although we intend to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of old notes will not be deemed made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any old notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned to the tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, promptly following the expiration date of the exchange.

When We Will Issue New Notes

        In all cases, we will issue new notes for old notes that we have accepted for exchange under the exchange offer only after the exchange agent timely receives:

•

a book-entry confirmation of such old notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC; and



•

a properly transmitted agent's message.

Return of Old Notes Not Accepted or Exchanged

        If we do not accept any tendered old notes for exchange or if old notes are submitted for a greater principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, the unaccepted or non-exchanged old notes will be returned without expense to their tendering holder. Such non-exchanged old notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC. These actions will occur promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

Your Representations to Us

        By agreeing to be bound by the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that, among other things:

•

any new notes that you receive will be acquired in the ordinary course of your business;



•

you have no arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in the distribution of the new notes;



•

you are not our "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act;



•

if you are a broker-dealer that will receive new notes for your own account in exchange for old notes, you acquired those notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and you will deliver a prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus) in connection with any resale of such new notes; and



•

if you are a broker-dealer that participates in the exchange offer with respect to old notes acquired for your own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with us or any of our "affiliates" to distribute the new notes.

Withdrawal of Tenders

        Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. For a withdrawal to be effective, you must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC's ATOP system. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with withdrawn old notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of DTC.

        We will determine all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility and time of receipt of notice of withdrawal. Our determination shall be final and binding on all parties. We will deem any old notes so withdrawn not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer.

        Any old notes that have been tendered for exchange but are not exchanged for any reason will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for the old notes. This crediting will take place promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. You may retender properly withdrawn old notes by following the procedures described under "—Procedures for Tendering" above at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer.

Fees and Expenses

        We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders. The principal solicitation is being made by electronic mail; however, we may make additional solicitation by facsimile, telephone, mail or in person by our officers and regular employees and those of our affiliates.

        We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not make any payments to broker-dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. We will, however, pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reimburse it for its related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

        We will pay the cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer. They include:

•

all registration and filing fees and expenses;



•

all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state "blue sky" or securities laws;

22

Table of Contents

•

accounting and legal fees, disbursements and printing, messenger and delivery services, and telephone costs; and



•

related fees and expenses.

Transfer Taxes

        We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of old notes under the exchange offer. The tendering holder, however, will be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person, if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old notes under the exchange offer.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

        If you do not exchange new notes for your old notes under the exchange offer you will remain subject to the existing restrictions on transfer of the old notes. In general, you may not offer or sell the old notes unless the offer or sale is either registered under the Securities Act or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreement, we do not intend to register resales of the old notes under the Securities Act.

Accounting Treatment

        We will record the new notes in our accounting records at the same carrying value as the old notes. This carrying value is the aggregate principal amount of the old notes less any bond discount, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes in connection with the exchange offer.

Other

        Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary and you should carefully consider whether to accept. You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on what action to take.

        We may in the future seek to acquire untendered old notes in open market or privately-negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. We have no present plans to acquire any old notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered old notes.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

        The following table presents the ratios of earnings to fixed charges of the Partnership for the periods indicated. For purposes of computing the ratios of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes plus fixed charges and loss (income) from continuing operations before income taxes attributable to noncontrolling interests. Fixed charges consists of interest expense plus loss on early extinguishment of debt and the portion of rental expense estimated to relate to interest. The portion of rental expense estimated to relate to interest represents one-third of total operating lease rental expense, which is the portion estimated to represent interest.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        The exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement. We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the new notes in the exchange offer. In consideration for issuing the new notes as contemplated by this prospectus, we will receive old notes in a like principal amount. The form and terms of the new notes are identical in all respects to the form and terms of the old notes, except the new notes will be registered under the Securities Act and will not contain restrictions on transfer, registration rights or provisions for additional interest. Old notes surrendered in exchange for the new notes will be retired and cancelled and will not be reissued. Accordingly, the issuance of the new notes will not result in any change in outstanding indebtedness.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

        You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading "—Definitions." In this description, the words "NGL Energy," "us," "our" and "we" refer only to NGL Energy Partners LP and not to any of its Subsidiaries, and the words "Finance Corp." refer solely to NGL Energy Finance Corp. The term "Issuers" refers to NGL Energy and Finance Corp., collectively.

        The Issuers will issue new notes under an indenture dated as of October 16, 2013 (the "indenture"), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "trustee"), in exchange for old notes issued under the indenture in a private transaction that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. See "Notice to Investors." The terms of the notes will include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act").

        The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture. It does not restate the indenture in its entirety. We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as holders of the notes. The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the indenture and all references to "holders" in this description are to registered holders of notes.

Brief Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees

The Notes

        The new notes will:

•

be general unsecured obligations of each of the Issuers;



•

be non-recourse to our general partner;



•

rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior Indebtedness of each of the Issuers;



•

rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of each of the Issuers;



•

be structurally subordinated to all obligations of any of our Subsidiaries;



•

be unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors on a senior unsecured basis; and



•

rank effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured Indebtedness of each of the Issuers, including indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and the Existing Senior Secured Notes, which are secured by substantially all of the assets of NGL Energy and the Guarantors, to the extent of the assets of the Issuers constituting collateral securing such Indebtedness. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The notes and the guarantees will be unsecured and effectively subordinated to our and our subsidiary guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness. The notes and the guarantees will also be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness of our non-guarantor subsidiaries."

The Note Guarantees

        Initially, the new notes will be guaranteed by each Restricted Subsidiary (other than Finance Corp.) that is a Domestic Subsidiary and an obligor under the Credit Agreement. In the future, other Restricted Subsidiaries will be required to guarantee the notes under the circumstances described below under "—Covenants—Additional Note Guarantees." Each guarantee of the notes will:

•

be a general unsecured obligation of the applicable Guarantor;

27

Table of Contents

•

rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor;



•

rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor; and



•

rank effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured Indebtedness of such Guarantor, including indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and the Existing Senior Secured Notes, to the extent of the assets of such Guarantor constituting collateral securing such Indebtedness.

        As of the Issue Date, all of our Restricted Subsidiaries will guarantee the notes, other than NGL Gateway Terminals, Inc., High Sierra Energy GP, LLC, High Sierra Energy Shared Services, LLC, High Sierra Storage, LLC, Petro Source Products, LLC, High Sierra Energy Canada ULC, High Sierra Water Services Midcontinent, LLC and Indigo Injection #3-1, LLC. As of the Issue Date, none of these Subsidiaries Guarantees (or is otherwise liable for) any Obligations under any Credit Facility, including the Credit Agreement. As of the Issue Date, all of our Subsidiaries will be "Restricted Subsidiaries." However, under the circumstances described below under the caption "—Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries," we will be permitted to designate certain of our Subsidiaries as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries." Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Unrestricted Subsidiary will pay the holders of its debt and its trade creditors before it will be able to distribute any of its assets to NGL Energy.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

        The Issuers will issue up to $450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of new notes in this exchange offer. The Issuers may issue additional notes under the indenture from time to time after this offering. Any issuance of additional notes is subject to all of the covenants in the indenture, including the covenant described below under the caption "—Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock." The notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Issuers will issue notes in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The notes will mature on October 15, 2021.

        Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 6.875% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Issuers will make each interest payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding April 1 and October 1.

        Interest on the notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. If an interest payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment to be made on such interest payment date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such interest payment date, and no Liquidated Damages will accrue as a result of such delayed payment.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

        If a holder of notes has given wire transfer instructions to NGL Energy, NGL Energy will pay all principal, interest and premium, if any, on that holder's notes in accordance with those instructions to an account in the United States of America. All other payments on the notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar in New York, New York, unless we elect to make interest payments by check mailed to the noteholders at their address set forth in the register of holders.

Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

        The trustee is acting as paying agent and registrar. The Issuers may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the notes, and NGL Energy or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

Transfer and Exchange

        A holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the provisions of the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Issuers will not be required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuers will not be required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed or between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

Note Guarantees

        Initially, all of the notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of NGL Energy's current Restricted Subsidiaries (except Finance Corp.) that is a Domestic Subsidiary and an obligor under the Credit Agreement. In the future, Restricted Subsidiaries will be required to guarantee the notes under the circumstances described under "—Covenants—Additional Note Guarantees." These Note Guarantees will be joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Note Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law, although this limitation may not be effective to prevent the Note Guarantees from being voided in bankruptcy. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from subsidiary guarantors."

        A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of, in one or more related transactions, all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (regardless of whether such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than NGL Energy or another Guarantor, unless:

        (1)   immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of related transactions, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

        (2)   either:

        (a)   (i) such Guarantor is the surviving Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) the Person acquiring the properties or assets in any such sale or other disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the indenture (including its Note Guarantee) pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the trustee; or

        (b)   such transaction or series of transactions does not violate the provisions of the indenture described under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales."

        The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released automatically:

        (1)   in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of that Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) NGL Energy or a Restricted Subsidiary of NGL Energy, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the "Asset Sales" provisions of the indenture described below under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales;"

29

Table of Contents

        (2)   in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor (by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) NGL Energy or a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture described below under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales" and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the sale or other disposition;

        (3)   if NGL Energy designates such Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture;

        (4)   upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture as provided below under the captions "—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" and "—Satisfaction and Discharge;"

        (5)   upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor, provided no Default or Event of Default occurs as a result thereof or has occurred or is continuing;

        (6)   upon such Guarantor consolidating with, merging into or transferring all of its properties or assets to NGL Energy or another Guarantor, and as a result of, or in connection with, such transaction such Guarantor dissolves or otherwise ceases to exist; or

        (7)   at such time as such Guarantor is no longer required to be a Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the covenant described under the caption "—Covenants—Additional Note Guarantees."

Optional Redemption

        Except as described below in this section or in the next-to-last paragraph of "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control," the notes are not redeemable at our option until October 15, 2016. On and after October 15, 2016, NGL Energy may redeem all or a part of the notes, from time to time, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date (subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on of the years indicated below:

        At any time or from time to time prior to 2016, NGL Energy may also redeem all or a part of the notes, at a redemption price equal to the Make-Whole Price, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

        "Make-Whole Price" with respect to any notes to be redeemed, means an amount equal to the greater of:

        (1)   100% of the principal amount of such notes; and

        (2)   the sum of the present values of (a) the redemption price of such notes at October 15, 2016 (as set forth above) and (b) the remaining scheduled payments of interest from the redemption date to October 15, 2016 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date) discounted back to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis

Table of Contents

(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points;

plus, in the case of both (1) and (2), accrued and unpaid interest on such notes, if any, to the redemption date.

        "Comparable Treasury Issue" means, with respect to notes to be redeemed, the U.S. Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to October 15, 2016, that would be utilized at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity; provided that if such period is less than one year, then the U.S. Treasury security having a maturity of one year shall be used.

        "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the trustee obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

        "Independent Investment Banker" means RBC Capital Markets, LLC, RBS Securities Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., or one of their respective successors, or, if such firms or their respective successors, if any, as the case may be, are unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by NGL Energy.

        "Primary Treasury Dealer" means a U.S. government securities dealer in the City of New York.

        "Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of RBC Capital Markets, LLC, RBS Securities Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and two additional Primary Treasury Dealers selected by NGL Energy, and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any such firm or any such successor, as the case may be, shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, NGL Energy shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

        "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, no later than the fourth Business Day preceding such redemption date.

        "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated "H.15(159)" or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the stated maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated no later than the fourth Business Day preceding the redemption date.

        The notice of redemption with respect to the foregoing redemption need not set forth the Make-Whole Price but only the manner of calculation thereof. NGL Energy will notify the trustee of

31

---

Table of Contents

the Make-Whole Price with respect to any redemption promptly after the calculation, and the trustee shall not be responsible for such calculation.

        Prior to October 15, 2016, NGL Energy may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the notes with an amount of cash not greater than the amount of the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes redeemed to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided that

        (1)   at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued on the Issue Date (excluding notes held by NGL Energy and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding after each such redemption; and

        (2)   the redemption occurs within 180 days after the closing of such Equity Offering. Unless NGL Energy defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest, if any, will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

Selection and Notice

        If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee will select notes for redemption on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of notes in global form, the trustee will select notes for redemption based on the method of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection), unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements.

        No notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of optional redemption will be mailed by first class mail (or, in the case of notes in global form, pursuant to the applicable procedures of DTC) at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture.

        If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption, unless the redemption is subject to a condition precedent that is not satisfied or waived. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes or portions of notes called for redemption, unless NGL Energy defaults in making the redemption payment. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at our discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent and, in the case of a redemption with the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering, be given prior to and conditioned on the completion of the related Equity Offering.

Open Market Purchases; No Mandatory Redemption or Sinking Fund

        We may at any time and from time to time purchase notes in the open market or otherwise. The Issuers are not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders

Change of Control

        If a Change of Control occurs, each holder of notes will have the right, except as provided below, to require NGL Energy to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that holder's notes pursuant to an offer ("Change of Control Offer") on the terms set forth in the indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, NGL Energy will offer to make a cash payment (a "Change of Control Payment") equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Purchase Date"), subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, NGL Energy will send a notice to each holder of notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase properly tendered notes on the Change of Control Purchase Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, pursuant to the procedures required by the indenture and described in such notice. NGL Energy will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes of any series as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the indenture, NGL Energy will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the indenture by virtue of such compliance.

        Promptly following the expiration of the Change of Control Offer, NGL Energy will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Promptly after such acceptance, NGL Energy will, on the Change of Control Purchase Date:

        (1)   deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly tendered; and

        (2)   deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the notes properly accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes being purchased by NGL Energy.

        The paying agent will promptly mail or wire transfer to each holder of notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes (or, if all the notes are then in global form, make such payment through the facilities of DTC), and the trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. Any note so accepted for payment will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Purchase Date, unless NGL Energy defaults in making the Change of Control Payment. NGL Energy will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Purchase Date.

        The provisions described above that require NGL Energy to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable regardless of whether any other provisions of the indenture are applicable, except as described in the following paragraph. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders of the notes to require that the Issuers repurchase or redeem the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

Table of Contents

        NGL Energy will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control, if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by NGL Energy and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, (2) notice of redemption of all outstanding notes has been given pursuant to the indenture as described above under the caption "—Optional Redemption—Selection and Notice," unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price, or (3) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, NGL Energy has made an offer to purchase (an "Alternate Offer") any and all notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Alternate Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the indenture, a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer is made.

        In the event that holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes accept a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer and NGL Energy (or any third party making such Change of Control Offer in lieu of NGL Energy as described above) purchases all of the notes held by such holders, NGL Energy will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer described above, to redeem all of the notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes that remain outstanding, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

        The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require the Issuers to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.

Asset Sales

        NGL Energy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

        (1)   NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or any Person assuming responsibilities for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

        (2)   at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiaries (considered together on a cumulative basis, with all consideration received by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of other Asset Sales consummated

34

since the Issue Date) is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

        (a)   any liabilities, as shown on NGL Energy's most recent consolidated balance sheet, of NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and Subordinated Debt) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement (or other legal documentation with the same effect) that releases NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary against further liability;

        (b)   any securities, notes or other obligations received by NGL Energy or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are, within 90 days after the Asset Sale, converted by NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

        (c)   any Additional Assets of the kind referred to in clause (2) of the next paragraph of this covenant.

        Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale or, if NGL Energy has entered into a binding commitment or commitments with respect to any of the actions described in clauses (2) or (3) below, within the later of (x) 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale and (y) 120 days after the entering into of such commitment or commitments, NGL Energy or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries may apply an amount equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds:

        (1)   to repay, redeem or repurchase any Senior Debt provided that such repayment, redemption or repurchase may close up to 45 days after the end of such 365-day period;

        (2)   to invest in or acquire Additional Assets; or

        (3)   to make capital expenditures in respect of a Permitted Business.

        Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture. An amount equal to any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in in clauses (1) through (3) of the immediately preceding paragraph will constitute "Excess Proceeds." Within ten Business Days after the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million, the Issuers will make an offer (an "Asset Sale Offer") to all holders of notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the trustee will select the notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any notes represented by a note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require or, where such nominee or successor is the trustee, a method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as

the trustee deems fair and appropriate unless otherwise required by law), based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by NGL Energy so that only notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sale, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be governed by the provisions of the indenture described under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control" and/or the provisions described under the caption "—Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Substantially All Assets" and not by the provisions of the indenture described under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales."

        NGL Energy will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sales provisions of the indenture, or compliance with the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture would constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations, NGL Energy will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture by virtue of such compliance. The agreements governing NGL Energy's other Indebtedness contain, and future agreements may contain, prohibitions of certain events, including events that would constitute a Change of Control or an Asset Sale and including repurchases of or other prepayments in respect of the notes. The exercise by the holders of notes of their right to require the Issuers to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control or an Asset Sale could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Change of Control or Asset Sale itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases on NGL Energy. In the event a Change of Control or Asset Sale occurs at a time when NGL Energy is prohibited from purchasing notes, NGL Energy could seek the consent of its senior lenders to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If NGL Energy does not obtain a consent or repay those borrowings, NGL Energy will remain prohibited from purchasing notes. In that case, NGL Energy's failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the indenture which could, in turn, constitute a default under the other indebtedness. Finally, the Issuers' ability to pay cash to the holders of notes upon a repurchase may be limited by NGL Energy's then-existing financial resources. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control."

Covenants

Covenant Termination

        From and after the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event, and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, we and our Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the following provisions of the indenture (collectively, the "Terminated Covenants"):

        (a)   clause (4) of the covenant described under "—Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of substantially All Assets" and

        (b)   the provisions of the indenture described above under the following headings:

•

"—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales;"



•

"—Covenants—Restricted Payments;"

36

---

Table of Contents

•

"—Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock;"



•

"—Covenants—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries;" and



•

"—Covenants—Transactions with Affiliates."

        Furthermore, after an Investment Grade Rating Event, NGL Energy may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

        Consequently, after the date on which we and our Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer subject to the Terminated Covenants, the notes will be entitled to substantially reduced covenant protection. However, we and our Restricted Subsidiaries will remain subject to all other covenants in the indenture. There can be no assurance that the notes will ever achieve or maintain an Investment Grade Rating.

Restricted Payments

        NGL Energy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

        (1)   declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of NGL Energy's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of NGL Energy's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of NGL Energy and other than dividends or distributions payable to NGL Energy or a Restricted Subsidiary);

        (2)   purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving NGL Energy) any Equity Interests of NGL Energy or any direct or indirect parent of NGL Energy;

        (3)   make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, any Subordinated Debt (other than intercompany Indebtedness between or among NGL Energy and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except a payment of interest or principal within one year of the Stated Maturity thereof; or

        (4)   make any Restricted Investment

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, no Default (except a Reporting Default) or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment and either:

        (I)   if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for NGL Energy's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (the "Trailing Four Quarters") is not less than 1.75 to 1.0, such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the fiscal quarter in which such Restricted Payment is made (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10) and (11) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

        (a)   Available Cash from Operating Surplus with respect to NGL Energy's preceding fiscal quarter; plus

Table of Contents

        (b)   100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds, and the Fair Market Value of any Capital Stock of Persons engaged primarily in a Permitted Business or other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business, in each case received by NGL Energy since the Issue Date from (x) a contribution to the common equity capital of NGL Energy from any Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) or (y) the issuance and sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of NGL Energy or from the issuance or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of NGL Energy that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock); plus

        (c)   to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the Issue Date is sold for cash or Cash Equivalents or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash or Cash Equivalents, the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any); plus

        (d)   the amount equal to the net reduction in Restricted Investments since the Issue Date resulting from (i) dividends, repayments of loans or advances, or other transfers of assets, in each case, to NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from any Person (including, without limitation, any Unrestricted Subsidiary) or (ii) the redesignation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, to the extent such amounts have not been included in Available Cash for any period commencing on or after the Issue Date (items (b), (c) and (d) being referred to as "Incremental Funds"); minus

        (e)   the aggregate amount of Incremental Funds previously expended pursuant to this clause (I) and clause (II) below; or

        (II)  if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Trailing Four Quarters is less than 1.75 to 1.0, such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the fiscal quarter in which such Restricted Payment is made (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10) and (11) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

        (a)   $200.0 million, less the aggregate amount of all prior Restricted Payments made by NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (II)(a) since the Issue Date; plus

        The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of the Restricted Payment, of the Restricted Investment proposed to be made or the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment, except that the Fair Market Value of any non-cash dividend or distribution paid within 60 days after the date of its declaration shall be determined as of such date of declaration. The Fair Market Value of any

        Restricted Investment, assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined in accordance with the definition of that term. For purposes of determining compliance with this "Restricted Payments" covenant, (x) in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in the preceding clauses (1) through (12) of this covenant, or is permitted pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, NGL Energy will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) on the date made or later reclassify such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant; and (y) in the event a Restricted Payment is made pursuant to clause (I) or (II) of the first paragraph of this covenant, NGL Energy will be permitted to classify whether all or any portion thereof is being (and in the absence of such classification shall be deemed to have classified the minimum amount possible as having been) made with Incremental Funds.

Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock

        NGL Energy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, Guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur"; with "incurrence" having a correlative meaning) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and NGL Energy will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that NGL Energy may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and issue Disqualified Stock, and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and issue preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for NGL Energy's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the

date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness or issuances of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, as applicable (collectively, "Permitted Debt"):

        (1)   the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed the greater of (a) $1.05 billion and (b) $250.0 million plus 35.0% of the Total Assets of NGL Energy determined on the date of such incurrence;

        (2)   the incurrence by NGL Energy or its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness;

        (3)   the incurrence by the Issuers and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by (a) the notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued on the Issue Date and (b) the Exchange Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement;

        (5)   the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to extend, renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease, discharge or otherwise retire for value, any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) or Disqualified Stock of NGL Energy, or Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) or preferred stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case that was permitted by the indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clause (2), (3), (4), (13), (14) or (15) of this paragraph or this clause (5);

        (6)   the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among NGL Energy and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

        (a)   if NGL Energy or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not NGL Energy or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the notes, in the case of NGL Energy, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and

        (b)   (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than NGL Energy or a Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither NGL

Energy nor a Restricted Subsidiary, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

        (7)   the issuance by any of NGL Energy's Restricted Subsidiaries to NGL Energy or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

        (a)   any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than NGL Energy or a Restricted Subsidiary; and

        (b)   any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is neither NGL Energy nor a Restricted Subsidiary, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (7);

        (8)   the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;

        (9)   the Guarantee by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of NGL Energy or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent that the guaranteed Indebtedness was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the notes, then the Guarantee must be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness Guaranteed;

        (10) the incurrence by NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness consisting of the financing of insurance premiums in customary amounts consistent with the operations and business of NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

        (11) the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit; provided that, upon the drawing of such letters of credit, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing;

        (12) the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of liability in respect of the Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Joint Venture but only to the extent that such liability is the result of NGL Energy's or any such Restricted Subsidiary's being a general partner or member of, or owner of an Equity Interest in, such Unrestricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture and not as guarantor of such Indebtedness;

provided that, immediately after giving effect to any such incurrence, the principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (12) and then outstanding does not exceed $25.0 million;

        (13) the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Acquisition Indebtedness;

        (14) the incurrence by any Foreign Subsidiary of Indebtedness that, in the aggregate together with all other Indebtedness of all Foreign Subsidiaries (including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease, discharge or otherwise retire for value any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (14)), does not exceed $50.0 million; and

        (15) the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness and the issuance by NGL Energy of any Disqualified Stock, provided that, immediately after giving effect to any such incurrence or issuance, the amount of all such Indebtedness and Disqualified Stock incurred or issued pursuant to this clause (15) and then outstanding (including all Indebtedness and Disqualified Stock incurred or issued to Refinance any

Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock incurred or issued pursuant to this clause (15)) does not exceed the greater of (a) $75.0 million and (b) 3.25% of the Total Assets of NGL Energy determined on the date of such incurrence.

        NGL Energy will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of NGL Energy or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the notes or the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of NGL Energy or any Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis.

        For purposes of determining compliance with this "Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (15) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, NGL Energy will be permitted in its sole discretion to divide, redivide, classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, and later divide, redivide, classify or reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant.

        Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which notes are first issued and authenticated under the indenture will initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt. The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of any obligation of NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant; provided that, in each such case, the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of NGL Energy as accrued to the extent required by the definition of such term.

        For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. The principal amount of any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Liens

        NGL Energy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless the notes or any Note Guarantee are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the Indebtedness so secured until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien).

        Any Lien securing the notes or Note Guarantees created pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the unconditional release and discharge of the initial Lien whose existence resulted in the creation of such Lien securing the notes or Note Guarantees.

Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries

        NGL Energy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

        (1)   pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or pay any Indebtedness owed to NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the priority that any series of preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary has in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions before dividends or liquidating distributions are paid in respect of common stock of such Restricted Subsidiary shall not constitute a restriction on the ability to make dividends or distributions on Capital Stock for purposes of this covenant;

        (2)   make loans or advances to NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to NGL Energy or any such Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by NGL Energy or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or

        (3)   sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

        However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

        (2)   the indenture, the notes and the Note Guarantees;

        (3)   agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described above under the caption "—Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the encumbrances or restrictions therein are, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Chief

        (7)   customary non-assignment provisions in contracts or licenses, easements or leases, in each case, entered into in the ordinary course of business;

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

        Neither of the Issuers may (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (regardless of whether such Issuer is the surviving entity), or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

        (1)   either: (a) such Issuer is the surviving entity; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided, however, that Finance Corp. may not consolidate or merge with or into any Person other than a corporation satisfying such requirement so long as NGL Energy is not a corporation;

        (2)   the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of such Issuer under the notes and the indenture (and the Registration Rights Agreement, if any obligations thereunder remain unsatisfied) pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other agreement reasonably satisfactory to the trustee;

        (3)   immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;

        (4)   in the case of a transaction involving NGL Energy and not Finance Corp., immediately after giving effect to such transaction and any related financing transaction on a pro forma basis as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, either (a) NGL Energy or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than NGL Energy), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made, would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption "—Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," or (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of NGL Energy or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than NGL Energy), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made, is equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of NGL Energy immediately prior to such transaction; and

        (5)   such Issuer has delivered to the trustee an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required, such supplemental indenture, comply with the indenture.

        Notwithstanding the restrictions described in the foregoing clause (4), any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Finance Corp.) may consolidate with, merge into or dispose of all or part of its properties or assets to NGL Energy without complying with the preceding clause (4) in connection with any such consolidation, merger or disposition.

        Notwithstanding the second preceding paragraph, NGL Energy is permitted to reorganize as any other form of entity, provided that:

        (1)   the reorganization involves the conversion (by merger, sale, contribution or exchange of assets or otherwise) of NGL Energy into a form of entity other than a limited partnership formed under Delaware law;

        (2)   the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

        (3)   the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization assumes all the obligations of NGL Energy under the notes and the indenture (and the Registration Rights Agreement, if any obligations thereunder remain unsatisfied) pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee;

        (4)   immediately after such reorganization no Default or Event of Default exists; and

        (5)   such reorganization is not materially adverse to the holders or Beneficial Owners of the notes (for purposes of this clause (5), a reorganization will not be considered materially adverse to the holders or Beneficial Owners of the notes solely because the successor or survivor of such reorganization (a) is subject to federal or state income taxation as an entity or (b) is considered to be an "includible corporation" of an affiliated group of corporations within the meaning of Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue Code or any similar state or local law).

        For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, which properties or assets, if held by NGL Energy instead of such Restricted Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties or assets of NGL Energy on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of NGL Energy.

        Notwithstanding anything in the indenture to the contrary, in the event that NGL Energy becomes a corporation or NGL Energy or the Person formed by or surviving any consolidation or merger (permitted in accordance with the terms of the indenture) is a corporation, Finance Corp. may be merged into NGL Energy or it may be dissolved and cease to be an Issuer.

        Upon any consolidation or merger or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of an Issuer in accordance with the foregoing in which such Issuer is not the surviving entity, the surviving Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which such Issuer is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, such Issuer under the indenture with the same effect as if such surviving Person had been named as such Issuer in the indenture, and thereafter (except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of such Issuer's properties or assets), such Issuer will be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the indenture and the notes. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to

whether a particular transaction would involve "all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of a Person.

Transactions with Affiliates

        NGL Energy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of NGL Energy (each, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

        (1)   the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to NGL Energy or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person or, if in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of NGL Energy, no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction, such Affiliate Transaction is otherwise fair to NGL Energy or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; and

        (2)   NGL Energy delivers to the trustee:

        (a)   with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million but less than or equal to $40.0 million, an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with this covenant; and

        (b)   with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $40.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of NGL Energy set forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions has been approved by either the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of NGL Energy (so long as the members of the Conflicts Committee approving the Affiliate transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions are disinterested) or a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of NGL Energy, if any.

        The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

        (1)   any employment, consulting or similar agreement or arrangement, employee benefit plan, equity award, equity option, equity appreciation, officer or director indemnification agreement, restricted unit agreement, severance agreement or other compensation plan or arrangement entered into by the General Partner, NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments, awards, grants or issuances of securities made pursuant thereto;

        (2)   transactions between or among NGL Energy and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

        (3)   transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that is an Affiliate of NGL Energy solely because NGL Energy owns, directly or through a Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

        (4)   payment of reasonable fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity arrangements or otherwise) of, and compensation paid to, and indemnity or insurance provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the General Partner, NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, reimbursement or advancement of out-of-pocket expenses and provisions of officers' and directors' liability insurance;

        (5)   any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to, or receipt of capital contributions from, Affiliates of NGL Energy;

        (6)   Restricted Payments that do not violate the provisions of the indenture described above under the caption "—Covenants—Restricted Payments" or any Permitted Investments;

        (7)   payments to the General Partner with respect to reimbursement for expenses in accordance with the Partnership Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date and as it may be amended, provided that any such amendment is not less favorable to NGL Energy in any material respect than the agreement prior to such amendment;

        (8)   transactions between NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any other Person, a director of which is also on the Board of Directors of NGL Energy, and such common director is the sole cause for such other Person to be deemed an Affiliate of NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a member of the Board of Directors of NGL Energy on any transaction with such other Person;

        (9)   (a) guarantees by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of performance of obligations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, except for guarantees of Indebtedness in respect of borrowed money, and (b) pledges by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Equity Interests in Unrestricted Subsidiaries for the benefit of lenders or other creditors of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

        (10) payments to an Affiliate in respect of the notes or the Note Guarantees or any other Indebtedness of NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary on the same basis as concurrent payments made or offered to be made in respect thereof to non-Affiliates;

        (11) payment of loans or advances to employees not to exceed $5.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding;

        (12) any Affiliate Transaction with a Person in its capacity as a holder of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary if such Person is treated no more favorably than the other holders of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary;

        (13) transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries, customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, or lessors or lessees of property, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the indenture which are, in the aggregate (taking into account all the costs and benefits associated with such transactions), not materially less favorable to NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated person, in the good faith determination of NGL Energy's Board of Directors or any officer of NGL Energy involved in or otherwise familiar with such transaction, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

        (14) any transaction in which NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the trustee a letter from an accounting, appraisal, advisory or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or that such transaction meets the requirements of clause (1) of the preceding paragraph; and

        (15) in the case of contracts for gathering, transporting, treating, processing, marketing, distributing, storing or otherwise handling Hydrocarbons, or activities or services reasonably related or ancillary thereto, or other operational contracts, any such contracts that are entered into in the ordinary course of business on terms substantially similar to those contained in similar contracts entered into by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and third parties, or if neither NGL Energy nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has entered into a similar contract with a third party, then the terms of which are no less favorable than those available from third parties on an arm's-length basis.

Business Activities of Finance Corp.

        Finance Corp. will not hold any material assets, become liable for any material obligations, engage in any trade or business, or conduct any business activity, other than the issuance of capital stock to NGL Energy, the incurrence of Indebtedness as a co-issuer, co-obligor or guarantor of Indebtedness incurred by NGL Energy including without limitation the notes) that is permitted to be incurred by NGL Energy under the covenant described under "—Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" above, and activities incidental thereto.

Additional Note Guarantees

        If, on any date after the Issue Date, any Domestic Subsidiary that is not already a Guarantor, Guarantees (or otherwise becomes liable for) any Obligations under any Credit Facility, including the Credit Agreement, then, within 20 Business Days after such date, such Domestic Subsidiary will unconditionally Guarantee the notes and concurrently become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture in substantially the form specified in the indenture. Each Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released automatically at such time as such Guarantor is discharged or otherwise released from all its Obligations in respect of its Guarantee of (or other liability for) any Obligations under any Credit Facility; provided that such discharge or other release did not result directly from payment by such Guarantor in satisfaction of (a) its liability as a guarantor pursuant to such Guarantee, or (b) its primary liability for such Obligations (after demand or default under such Credit Facility). Furthermore, each Note Guarantee shall be subject to release as described under "—Note Guarantees."

Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

        The Board of Directors of NGL Energy may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the covenant described above under the caption "—Covenants—Restricted Payments" or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by NGL Energy. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of NGL Energy may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

        Any designation of a Subsidiary of NGL Energy as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the trustee by filing with the trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of NGL Energy giving effect to such designation and an Officers' Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by the covenant described above under the caption "—Covenants—Restricted Payments." If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an

50

Table of Contents

Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under the covenant described under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," NGL Energy will be in default of such covenant.

        The Board of Directors of NGL Energy may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if: (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Reports

        Regardless of whether required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any notes are outstanding, NGL Energy will file with the SEC (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations, and upon request, NGL Energy will furnish (without exhibits) to the trustee for delivery to the holders of the notes:

        (1)   all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if NGL Energy were required to file such forms, including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by NGL Energy's certified independent accountants; and

        (2)   all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if NGL Energy were required to file such reports.

        NGL Energy will be deemed to have furnished such reports and information described above to the holders of Notes (and the trustee shall be deemed to have delivered such reports and information to the holders of the notes) if NGL Energy has filed such reports or information, respectively, with the SEC using the EDGAR filing system (or any successor filing system of the SEC) or, if the SEC will not accept such reports or information, if NGL Energy has posted such reports or information, respectively, on its website, and such reports or information, respectively, are available to holders of notes through internet access.

        For the avoidance of doubt, (a) such information will not be required to contain the separate financial information for Guarantors as contemplated by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X or any financial statements of unconsolidated subsidiaries or 50% or less owned Persons as contemplated by Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X or any schedules required by Regulation S-X, or in each case any successor provisions, and (b) such information shall not be required to comply with Regulation G under the Exchange Act or Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K with respect to any non-GAAP financial measures contained therein.

        Except as provided above, all such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports.

        If NGL Energy has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then, to the extent material, the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of NGL Energy and its Restricted

51

Table of Contents

Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

        Any and all Defaults or Events of Default arising from a failure to furnish in a timely manner any financial information required by this covenant shall be deemed cured (and NGL Energy shall be deemed to be in compliance with this covenant) upon furnishing such financial information as contemplated by this covenant (but without regard to the date on which such financial statement or report is so furnished); provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the holders under "—Events of Defaults and Remedies" if the principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, on, the notes have been accelerated in accordance with the terms of the indenture and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure.

        In addition, NGL Energy will hold and participate in annual conference calls with the holders of the notes, beneficial owners of the notes, bona fide prospective investors, securities analysts and market makers to discuss the financial information required to be furnished pursuant to clause (1) above no later than ten Business Days after distribution of such financial information. NGL Energy shall be permitted to combine this conference call with any other conference call for other debt or equity holders or lenders.

        In addition, NGL Energy and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, they will furnish to the holders of notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Events of Default and Remedies

        Each of the following is an "Event of Default" with respect to the notes:

        (1)   default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the notes;

        (2)   default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the notes;

        (3)   failure by NGL Energy to comply with its obligations under "—Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Substantially All Assets" or to consummate a purchase of notes when required pursuant to the covenants described under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders;"

        (4)   failure by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 30 days after written notice from the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes to comply with the provisions described under the captions "—Covenants—Restricted Payments" or "—Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" or to comply with the provisions described under the captions "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders" to the extent not described in clause (3) above;

        (5)   (a) except as addressed in subclause (b) of this clause (5), failure by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after written notice from the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes to comply with any of the other agreements in the indenture or the notes or (b) failure by NGL Energy for 180 days after notice from the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes to comply with the covenant described under the caption "—Covenants—Reports;"

        (6)   default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by NGL

Table of Contents

Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default:

        (a)   is caused by a failure to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment Default"); or

        (b)   results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $30.0 million or more; provided that if, prior to any acceleration of the notes, (i) any such default is cured or waived, (ii) any such acceleration of such Indebtedness is rescinded, or (iii) such Indebtedness is repaid, within a period of 10 Business Days from the continuation of such default beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, any Default or Event of Default (but not any acceleration of the notes) shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree;

        (7)   failure by NGL Energy or any Significant Subsidiary or group of NGL Energy's Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments (entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction) aggregating in excess of $30.0 million (net of any amounts that a reputable and creditworthy insurance company has acknowledged liability for in writing), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

        (8)   except as permitted by the indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee, except, in each case, by reason of the release of such Note Guarantee in accordance with the indenture; and

        (9)   certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the indenture with respect to NGL Energy, Finance Corp. or any of NGL Energy's Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

        The indenture will provide that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to NGL Energy, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all then outstanding notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. However, the effect of such provision may be limited by applicable law. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may declare all of the notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to NGL Energy and, in case of a notice by holders, also to the trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a notice of acceleration.

        Holders of the notes may not enforce the indenture or the notes except as provided in the indenture. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The trustee may withhold from holders of the notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, interest or premium, if any.

Table of Contents

        Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any holders of notes unless such holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, when due, no holder of a note may pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the notes unless:

        (1)   such holder has previously given the trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

        (2)   holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes make a written request to the trustee to pursue the remedy;

        (3)   such holder or holders offer and, if requested, provide to the trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

        (4)   the trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

        (5)   during such 60-day period, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes do not give the trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.

        The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes by written notice to the trustee may, on behalf of the holders of all of the notes, rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not violate any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

        The Issuers are required to deliver to the trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the indenture. Within five Business Days of any executive officer of the General Partner or Finance Corp. becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuers will be required to deliver to the trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Unitholders and No Recourse to General Partner

        None of the General Partner or any director, officer, partner, employee, incorporator, manager, unitholder or other owner of Capital Stock of the General Partner, the Issuers or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors under the notes, the indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

        The Issuers may at any time, at the option of their respective Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate, elect to have all of their obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees ("Legal Defeasance") except for:

        (1)   the rights of holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium if any, on such notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

54

---

Table of Contents

        (2)   the Issuers' obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

        (3)   the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee under the indenture, and the Issuers' and the Guarantors' obligations in connection therewith; and

        (4)   the Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture.

        In addition, the Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have their obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors released with respect to the provisions of the indenture described above under "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders" and under "—Covenants" (other than the covenant described under "—Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets," except to the extent described below) and the limitation imposed by clause (4) under "—Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets" (such release and termination being referred to as "Covenant Defeasance"), and thereafter any failure to comply with such obligations or provisions will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, the Events of Default described under clauses (3) through (7) under the caption "—Events of Default and Remedies" and the Event of Default described under clause (9) under the caption "—Events of Default and Remedies" (but only with respect to Subsidiaries of NGL Energy), in each case, will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes. If the Issuers exercise either their Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance option, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any Obligations under the indenture, including its Obligations in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee.

        In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

        (1)   The Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on the outstanding notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuers must specify whether the notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

        (2)   in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that (a) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

        (3)   in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

        (4)   no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

55

Table of Contents

        (5)   such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Issuers or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Issuers or any of the Guarantors is bound;

        (6)   the Issuers must deliver to the trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of preferring the holders of notes over the other creditors of the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuers or others;

        (7)   NGL Energy must deliver to the trustee an Officers' Certificate, stating that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (1) through (6) of this paragraph have been complied with; and

        (8)   NGL Energy must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel, stating that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (2), (3) and (5) of this paragraph have been complied with.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

        Except as provided in the next three succeeding paragraphs, the indenture or the notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes (including, without limitation, additional notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Special Interest, if any, on, the notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the indenture or the notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes (including, without limitation, additional notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes).

        Without the consent of each holder of notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any notes held by a non-consenting holder):

        (1)   reduce the principal amount of notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

        (2)   reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the notes; provided, however, that any purchase or repurchase of notes, including pursuant to the covenants described above under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders," shall not be deemed a redemption of the notes;

        (3)   reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any note;

        (4)   waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the notes by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

        (5)   make any note payable in currency other than that stated in the notes;

        (6)   make any change in the provisions of the indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the notes;

        The consent of the holders is not necessary under the indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under the indenture requiring the approval of the holders becomes effective, NGL Energy will send to the holders a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure to give such notice, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Satisfaction and Discharge

        The indenture will be satisfied and discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the notes and as otherwise specified in the indenture), when:

        (1)   either:

        (a)   all notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or

        (b)   all notes that have not been delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the sending of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and either an Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the notes not delivered to the trustee for cancellation for principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on the notes to the date of maturity or redemption;

        (2)   in respect of clause 1(b), no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which either Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which either Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and in each case the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

        (3)   the Issuers or any Guarantor have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under the indenture; and

Concerning the Trustee

        U.S. Bank National Association will be the trustee under the indenture.

        If the trustee becomes a creditor of either Issuer or any Guarantor, the indenture limits the right of the trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if the indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign.

Table of Contents

        The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of notes, unless such holder has offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Governing Law

        The indenture, the notes and the Note Guarantees will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

        The new notes will be issued initially only in the form of one or more global notes (collectively, the "Global Notes"). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co., in each case for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may be held through the Euroclear System ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream") (as indirect participants in DTC).

        The Global Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for notes in registered, certificated form ("Certificated Notes") except in the limited circumstances described below. See "—Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes."

        In addition, transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants (including, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream), which may change from time to time.

Depository Procedures

        The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. The Issuers take no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urge investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

        DTC has advised the Issuers that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the "Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between the Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the "Indirect Participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

Table of Contents

        DTC has also advised the Issuers that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

        (1)   upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of the Participants designated by the initial purchasers with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and

        (2)   ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes).

        Except as described below, beneficial owners of interests in the Global Notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of Certificated Notes and will not be considered the registered owners or "holders" thereof under the indenture for any purpose.

        Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the indenture. Under the terms of the indenture, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither the Issuers, the Guarantors, the trustee nor any agent of the Issuers, the Guarantors or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

        (1)   any aspect of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or

        (2)   any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

        DTC has advised the Issuers that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee, the Issuers or the Guarantors. None of the Issuers, the Guarantors nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of the Participants or the Indirect Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes, and the Issuers, the Guarantors and the trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

        Subject to the transfer restrictions set forth under "Notice to Investors," transfers between the Participants will be effected in accordance with DTC's procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

        Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the notes described herein, cross-market transfers between the Participants, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC's rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by their respective depositaries; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the

60

---

Table of Contents

established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to

        its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositaries for Euroclear or Clearstream.

        DTC has advised the Issuers that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for Certificated Notes, and to distribute such notes to its Participants.

Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

        A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if:

        (1)   DTC (a) notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Note or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and in either case the Issuers fail to appoint a successor depositary;

        (2)   the Issuers, at their option, notify the trustee in writing that they elect to cause the issuance of Certificated Notes; or

        (3)   there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the notes and DTC notifies the trustee of its decision to exchange the Global Notes for Certificated Notes.

        In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and will bear the applicable restrictive legend referred to in "Notice to Investors," unless that legend is not required by applicable law.

Exchange of Certificated Notes for Global Notes

        Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the indenture) to the effect that such transfer will comply with the appropriate transfer restrictions applicable to such notes. See "Notice to Investors."

Same Day Settlement and Payment

        The Issuers will make payments in respect of the notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or its nominee. The Issuers will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to Certificated Notes in the manner described above under "—Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes." The notes represented by the Global Notes are expected to trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds.

61

---

Table of Contents

The Issuers expect that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

        Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a Participant will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised the Issuers that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a Participant will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC's settlement date.

We have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the consummation of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until                         , 2014, all dealers effecting transactions in the new notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

        We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of new notes by broker-dealers.

Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such new notes. Any broker-dealer that resells new notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such new notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of new notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to pay all reasonable expenses incident to the exchange offer (including the reasonable expenses of one counsel for the holders of the notes) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the old notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

        Following completion of the exchange offer, we may, in our sole discretion, commence one or more additional exchange offers to holders of old notes who did not exchange their old notes for new notes in the exchange offer on terms which may differ from those contained in this prospectus and the enclosed letter of transmittal. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by us in connection with any additional exchange offers. These additional exchange offers may take place from time to time until all outstanding old notes have been exchanged for new notes, subject to the terms and conditions in the prospectus and letter of transmittal distributed by us in connection with these additional exchange offers.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

        The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to the exchange of old notes for new notes, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury Regulations, Internal Revenue Service rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which may be subject to change at any time by legislative, judicial or administrative action. These changes may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of new notes. We cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described in this discussion, and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel with respect to the U.S. federal tax consequences described herein. Some holders, including financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in securities or currencies, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar or persons who hold the notes as part of a hedge, conversion transaction, straddle or other risk reduction transaction may be subject to special rules not discussed below.

        We recommend that each holder consult his own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences of exchanging such holder's old notes for new notes, including the applicability and effect of any foreign, state, local or other tax laws or estate or gift tax considerations.

        We believe that the exchange of old notes for new notes will not be a taxable exchange to a holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a holder will not recognize gain or loss upon receipt of a new note in exchange for an old note in the exchange, and the holder's basis and holding period in the new note will be the same as its basis and holding period in the corresponding old note immediately before the exchange.

        (7)   If you are a broker-dealer and old notes held for your own account were not acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, such old notes cannot be exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

RISK FACTORS

        An investment in the notes is subject to numerous risks, including those listed below. You should carefully consider the following risks, the risk factors contained in the sections titled "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014, as well as the information provided elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference. While these are the risks and uncertainties we believe are most important for you to consider, you should know that they are not the only risks or uncertainties facing us or which may adversely affect our business. These risks could materially affect our ability to meet our obligations under the notes. You could lose all or part of your investment in and fail to achieve the expected return on the notes

Risks Related to Investing in the New Notes

         Our leverage and debt service obligations may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects and our ability to make payments on the notes.

        As of March 31, 2014, we had $1,637.0 million of total long-term indebtedness, including $922.0 million of debt outstanding under our Credit Agreement and approximately $250 million aggregate principal amount of our senior secured notes, and we had additional borrowing capacity of $528.4 million under our Credit Agreement (net of $270.6 million of outstanding letters of credit). Our level of indebtedness could affect our operations in several ways, including the following:

•

requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our existing debt, thereby reducing the cash available to finance our operations and other business activities and limiting our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;



•

increasing our vulnerability to economic downturns and adverse developments in our business;



•

limiting our ability to access the capital markets to raise capital on favorable terms or to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures or acquisitions or to refinance existing indebtedness;



•

placing restrictions on our ability to obtain additional financing, make investments, lease equipment, sell assets and engage in business combinations;



•

placing us at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors with lower levels of indebtedness in relation to their overall size or less restrictive terms governing their indebtedness; and



•

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under the notes or other debt and increasing the risk that we may default on our debt obligations.

        Our leverage could have important consequences to investors in the notes. We will require substantial cash flow to meet our principal and interest obligations with respect to the notes and our other indebtedness. Our ability to make scheduled payments, to refinance our obligations with respect to our indebtedness or our ability to obtain additional financing in the future will depend on our financial and operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors. We believe that we will have sufficient cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement to service our indebtedness. However, a significant downturn in our business or other development adversely affecting our cash flow could materially impair our ability to service our indebtedness. If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to refinance all or a portion of our debt or sell assets. We cannot assure you that we would be able to refinance our existing indebtedness or sell assets on terms that are commercially reasonable.

Table of Contents

         We have a holding company structure in which our subsidiaries conduct our operations and own our operating assets.

        We are a holding company, and our operating subsidiaries conduct all of our operations and own all of our operating assets. We have no significant assets other than our interest in our operating subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to make required payments on the notes depends on the performance of our operating subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us may be restricted by, among other things, our Credit Agreement and the purchase agreement governing our Existing Senior Secured Notes and applicable state partnership laws and other laws and regulations. If we are unable to obtain the funds necessary to pay the principal amount at maturity of the notes, or to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a change of control, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as a refinancing of the notes or a sale of assets. We may not be able to refinance the notes or sell assets on acceptable terms, or at all.

         Despite our current level of indebtedness, we may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

        We may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, subject to certain limitations, including under our Credit Agreement and under the indenture for the notes. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face could increase. Our level of indebtedness could, for instance, prevent us from engaging in transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to us or from making desirable capital expenditures. This could put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to other less leveraged competitors that have more cash flow to devote to their operations. In addition, the incurrence of additional indebtedness could make it more difficult to satisfy our existing financial obligations, including those relating to the notes.

         The notes and the guarantees are unsecured and effectively subordinated to our and our subsidiary guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness.

        The notes and the guarantees are general unsecured senior obligations ranking effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt of ours and that of any subsidiary guarantors, including obligations under our Credit Agreement and our Existing Senior Secured Notes, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the debt. If we or any subsidiary guarantor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent or is liquidated or reorganized, any secured debt of ours or of such subsidiary guarantor will be entitled to be paid in full from our assets or the assets of such subsidiary guarantor, as applicable, securing that debt before any payment may be made with respect to the notes or the affected guarantees. Holders of the notes will participate ratably with all holders of our other unsecured indebtedness that does not rank junior to the notes, including all of our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the notes. As a result, holders of the notes would likely receive less, ratably, than holders of secured indebtedness.

         The notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

        The notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the notes. These non-guarantor subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the notes, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by loans, distributions or other payments. Any right that we or the subsidiary guarantors have to receive any assets of any of the non-guarantor subsidiaries upon the liquidation or reorganization of those non-guarantor subsidiaries, and the consequent rights of

13

---

Table of Contents

holders of notes to realize proceeds from the sale of any of those non-guarantor subsidiaries' assets, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of those non-guarantor subsidiaries' creditors, including trade creditors and holders of preferred equity interests of those non-guarantor subsidiaries. Accordingly, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, these non-guarantor subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debts, holders of preferred equity interests and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us. As March 31, 2014, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had no material indebtedness outstanding.

         Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

        Borrowings under our Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase and we are unable to effectively hedge our interest rate risk, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even if the amount borrowed remained the same, and our cash available for servicing our indebtedness would decrease. A 1.0% increase in interest rates on the debt outstanding under our facility as of March 31, 2014 would have cost us approximately $9.2 million in additional annual interest expense.

         We may not have the funds necessary to finance the repurchase of the notes in connection with a change of control offer required by the indenture.

        Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, the indenture governing the notes requires us to make an offer to repurchase all such notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (and liquidated damages, if any) to the date of repurchase. However, it is possible that we will not have sufficient funds, or the ability to raise sufficient funds, at the time of the change of control to make the required repurchase of the notes. In addition, restrictions under our Credit Agreement and the Existing Senior Secured Notes may not allow us to make such a repurchase upon a change of control. If we could not refinance our Credit Agreement or Existing Senior Secured Notes or otherwise obtain a waiver from the holders of such debt, we would be prohibited from repurchasing the notes, which would constitute an event of default under the indenture. In addition, certain important corporate events, such as leveraged recapitalizations that would increase the level of our indebtedness, would not constitute a "Change of Control" under the indenture. Because the definition of change of control under our Credit Agreement differs from that under the indenture, there may be a change of control and resulting default under our Credit Agreement at a time when no change of control has occurred under the indenture. Please read "Description of Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control."

         Holders of the notes may not be able to determine when a change of control giving rise to their right to have the notes repurchased has occurred following a sale of "substantially all" of our assets.

        The definition of change of control in the indenture governing the notes includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of the Partnership and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require us to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of the Partnership and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person or group may be uncertain.

         Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from subsidiary guarantors.

        Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee of the notes could be voided, or claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debts of that subsidiary guarantor, if, among other things, the subsidiary guarantor, at the time it incurred the debt evidenced by its guarantee:

•

received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such guarantee;



•

was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence; was engaged in a business or transaction for which the subsidiary guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or



•

intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

        In addition, any payment by that subsidiary guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the subsidiary guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of our creditors or the creditors of the guarantor.

        The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a subsidiary guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

•

the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;



•

if the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as



•

they become absolute and mature; or



•

it could not pay its debts as they become due.

        On the basis of historical financial information, recent operating history and other factors, we believe that each subsidiary guarantor, after giving effect to its guarantee of the notes, will not be insolvent, will not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged and will not have incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. We cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.

         If an active trading market does not develop for the new notes you may not be able to resell them.

        Prior to this offering, there was no trading market for the new notes, and we cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop. If no active trading market develops, you may not be able to resell your notes at their fair market value or at all. Future trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including, among other things, our ability to consummate this exchange offer, prevailing interest rates, our operating results and the market for similar securities. We do not intend to apply to list the notes on any securities exchange.

         Many of the covenants contained in the indenture will terminate if the notes are rated investment grade by any two of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, Moody's Investor Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings, Inc. and no default has occurred and is continuing.

        Many of the covenants in the indenture governing the notes will terminate if the notes are rated investment grade by any two of Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch provided that at such time no default has occurred and is continuing. The covenants restrict, among other things, our ability to pay distributions, incur debt and to enter into certain other transactions. There can be no assurance that the notes will ever be rated investment grade. However, termination of these covenants would allow us to engage in certain transactions that would not have been permitted while these covenants were in force, and the effects of any such transactions will be permitted to remain in place even if the notes are subsequently downgraded below investment grade. See "Description of Notes—Certain Covenants—Covenant Termination."

         The tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships could be subject to potential legislative, judicial or administrative changes and differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis.

        The present U.S. federal income tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships, including us, may be modified by administrative, legislative or judicial interpretation at any time. For example, from time to time, members of the U.S. Congress propose and consider substantive changes to the existing federal income tax laws that affect certain publicly traded partnerships. We are unable to predict whether any such proposals will ultimately be enacted. However, it is possible that a change in law could affect us and may be applied retroactively. Any such changes could cause a material reduction in our anticipated cash flow, which could materially and adversely affect our ability to make payments on the notes and our other debt obligations and could cause a reduction in the value of the notes.

EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

        We sold the old notes on July 9, 2014 pursuant to the purchase agreement, dated as of June 24, 2014, by and among us, our subsidiary guarantors and the initial purchasers named therein. The old notes were subsequently offered by the initial purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

        We sold the old notes in transactions that were exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements under the Securities Act. Accordingly, the old notes are subject to transfer restrictions. In general, you may not offer or sell the old notes unless either they are registered under the Securities Act or the offer or sale is exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

        In connection with the sale of the old notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the old notes. In that agreement, we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file an exchange offer registration statement after the closing date following the offering of the old notes. Now, to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement, we are offering holders of the old notes who are able to make certain representations described below the opportunity to exchange their old notes for the new notes in the exchange offer. The exchange offer will be open for a period of at least 20 business days. During the exchange offer period, we will exchange the new notes for all old notes properly surrendered and not withdrawn before the expiration date. The new notes will be registered under the Securities Act, and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and provisions for additional interest relating to the old notes will not apply to the new notes.

        For each old note surrendered to us pursuant to the exchange offer, the holder of such old note will receive a new note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered old note. Interest on each new note will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the surrendered old note. The registration rights agreement also provides an agreement to include in the prospectus for the exchange offer certain information necessary to allow a broker-dealer who holds old notes that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other ordinary course trading activities (other than old notes acquired directly from us or one of our affiliates) to exchange such old notes pursuant to the exchange offer and to satisfy the prospectus delivery requirements in connection with resales of new notes received by such broker-dealer in the exchange offer. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the exchange offer registration statement for these purposes for a period ending on the earlier of 180 days from the date on which the exchange offer registration statement is declared effective and the date on which the broker-dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities.

        The preceding agreement is needed because any broker-dealer who acquires old notes for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities is required to deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act. This prospectus covers the offer and sale of the new notes pursuant to the exchange offer and the resale of new notes received in the exchange offer by any broker-dealer who held old notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, other than old notes acquired directly from us or one of our affiliates.

        Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the new notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer would in general be freely tradable after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act. However, any

17

Table of Contents

purchaser of old notes who is an "affiliate" of ours or who intends to participate in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing the related new notes:

•

will not be able to rely on the interpretation of the staff of the SEC,



•

will not be able to tender its old notes in the exchange offer, and



•

must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any sale or transfer of the old notes unless such sale or transfer is made pursuant to an exemption from such requirements.

        Each holder of the old notes (other than certain specified holders) who desires to exchange old notes for the new notes in the exchange offer will be required to make the representations described below under "—Procedures for Tendering—Your Representations to Us."

        We further agreed to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement to register for public resale old notes held by any holder who provides us with certain information for inclusion in the shelf registration statement if:

•

the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy;



•

for any reason the exchange offer is not consummated within 30 business days after October 16, 2014; or



•

prior to the 20th business day following the consummation of this offering, any holder notifies us that:



•

the holder is prohibited by applicable law or SEC policy from participating in the exchange offer;



•

the holder may not resell the new notes acquired in the exchange offer to the public without delivering a prospectus, and the prospectus contained in the exchange offer is not appropriate or available for such resales by such purchaser; or



•

the holder is a broker-dealer and holds old notes acquired directly from us or one of our affiliates that are not freely tradeable, and such holder cannot participate in the exchange offer.

        We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file the shelf registration with the SEC on or before the 30 days after the occurrence of the events described in the first three bullets above, which date we refer to as the "shelf filing deadline," and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective on or before 90 days after the shelf filing deadline. We have also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the shelf registration statement continuously effective from the date on which the shelf registration statement is declared effective by the SEC until the earlier of the first anniversary of the effective date of such shelf registration statement and such time as all notes covered by the shelf registration statement have been sold or are freely tradeable. We refer to this period as the "shelf effectiveness period."

        If:

(1)

the Issuers and the subsidiary guarantors become obligated under the registration rights agreement to file a shelf registration statement and fail to do so on or before the shelf filing deadline;



(2)

any registration statement required by the registration rights agreement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness (the "Effectiveness Target Date");

18

---

Table of Contents

(3)

the Issuers and the subsidiary guarantors fail to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days of the Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the exchange offer registration statement; or



(4)

the shelf registration statement or the exchange offer registration statement is declared effective by the SEC but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable for its intended purpose (with such event referred to in clauses (1) through (4) above, a "Registration Default");

then the Issuers and the subsidiary guarantors will pay liquidated damages to each holder of notes, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the first Registration Default in an amount equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum on the principal amount of notes held by such holder. The amount of the liquidated damages will increase by an additional one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum on the principal amount of notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of liquidated damages for all Registration Defaults of one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum. All accrued liquidated damages will be paid by the Issuers (or the subsidiary guarantors, if applicable) in the manner provided for with respect to the payment of interest in the Indenture as more fully set forth in the Indenture and the notes. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of liquidated damages will cease.

        Holders of the old notes will be required to make certain representations to us (as described below under "—Procedures for Tendering") in order to participate in the exchange offer and will be required to deliver information to be used in connection with the shelf registration statement and to provide comments on the shelf registration statement within the time periods set forth in the registration rights agreement in order to have their old notes included in the shelf registration statement.

        If we effect the registered exchange offer, we will be entitled to close the registered exchange offer 20 business days after its commencement as long as we have accepted all old notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer and no brokers or dealers continue to hold any old notes.

        This summary of the material provisions of the registration rights agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the registration rights agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

        Except as set forth above, after consummation of the exchange offer, holders of old notes that are the subject of the exchange offer will have no registration or exchange rights under the registration rights agreement. See "—Consequences of Failure to Exchange."

Terms of the Exchange Offer

        Subject to the terms and conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange any old notes properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. We will issue new notes in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of old notes surrendered in the exchange offer. Old notes may be tendered only for new notes and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

        The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of old notes being tendered for exchange.

        As of the date of this prospectus, $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the old notes is outstanding. This prospectus and the letter of transmittal are being sent to all registered holders of old

19

Table of Contents

notes. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of old notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.

        We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement, the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Old notes that the holders thereof do not tender for exchange in the exchange offer will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest. These old notes will continue to be entitled to the rights and benefits such holders have under the indenture relating to the notes and the registration rights agreement.

        We will be deemed to have accepted for exchange properly tendered old notes when we have given oral or written notice of the acceptance to the exchange agent and complied with the applicable provisions of the registration rights agreement. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the new notes from us.

Expiration Date

        The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                          , 2014, unless, in our sole discretion, we extend it.

Extensions, Delays in Acceptance, Termination or Amendment

        We expressly reserve the right, at any time or various times, to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open. We may delay acceptance of any old notes by giving oral or written notice of such extension to their holders at any time until the exchange offer expires or terminates. During any such extensions, all old notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer, and we may accept them for exchange.

        In order to extend the exchange offer, we will notify the exchange agent orally or in writing of any extension. We will notify the registered holders of old notes of the extension by a press release issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

        Any such notice relating to the extension of the exchange offer will disclose the number of securities tendered as of the date of the notice, as required by Rule 14e-1(d) under the Exchange Act.

        We expressly reserve the right at our sole discretion:

•

to delay accepting the old notes, provided that any such delay is done in a manner consistent with Rule 14e-1(c) of the Exchange Act;



•

to extend the exchange offer;



•

to terminate the exchange offer and not accept old notes not previously accepted if any of the conditions listed under "—Conditions to the Exchange Offer" are not satisfied or waived by us, by giving oral or written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent; or



•

to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner.

        Following the commencement of the exchange offer, we currently anticipate that we would only delay accepting old notes tendered in the exchange offer due to an extension of the expiration date.

        We will follow any delay in acceptance, extension or termination as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice to the exchange agent.

        Any such delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice thereof to the registered holders of old notes. If we amend the

20

---

Table of Contents

exchange offer in a manner that we determine to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose such amendment by means of a prospectus supplement. The prospectus supplement will be distributed to the registered holders of the old notes. Depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders, we may extend the exchange offer. In the event of a material change in the exchange offer, including the waiver by us of a material condition, we will extend the exchange offer period, if necessary, so that at least five business days remain in the exchange offer period following notice of the material change.

        If we delay accepting any old notes or terminate the exchange offer, we will promptly return any old notes deposited pursuant to the exchange offer as required by Rule 14e-1(c).

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

        We will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange any new notes for, any old notes if the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder of old notes, would violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC. Similarly, we may terminate the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before accepting old notes for exchange in the event of such a potential violation.

        In addition, we will not be obligated to accept for exchange the old notes of any holder that has not made to us the representations described under "—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer," "—Procedures for Tendering" and "Plan of Distribution" and such other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to allow us to use an appropriate form to register the issuance of the new notes under the Securities Act.

        We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer, and to reject for exchange any old notes not previously accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions to the exchange offer specified above. We will give prompt oral or written notice of any extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the holders of the old notes as promptly as practicable.

        These conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them or waive them in whole or in part at any time or at various times in our sole discretion prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. If we fail at any time to exercise any of these rights, this failure will not mean that we have waived our rights. Each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

        In addition, we will not accept for exchange any old notes tendered, and will not issue new notes in exchange for any such old notes, if at such time any stop order has been threatened or is in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indenture relating to the notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act").

Procedures for Tendering

        In order to participate in the exchange offer, you must properly tender your old notes to the exchange agent as described below. We will only issue new notes in exchange for old notes that you timely and properly tender. Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the old notes, and you should follow carefully the instructions on how to tender your old notes. It is your responsibility to properly tender your notes. We have the right to waive any defects. However, we are not required to waive defects and are not required to notify you of defects in your tender.

        If you have any questions or need help in exchanging your notes, please call the exchange agent, whose address and phone number are set forth in "Prospectus Summary—The Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent."

        All of the old notes were issued in book-entry form, and all of the old notes are currently represented by global certificates held for the account of DTC. We have confirmed with DTC that the old notes may be tendered using the Automated Tender Offer Program, or ATOP, instituted by DTC. The exchange agent will establish an account with DTC for purposes of the exchange offer promptly after the commencement of the exchange offer, and DTC participants may electronically transmit their acceptance of the exchange offer by causing DTC to transfer their old notes to the exchange agent using the ATOP procedures. In connection with the transfer, DTC will send an "agent's message" to the exchange agent. The agent's message will state that DTC has received instructions from the participant to tender old notes and that the participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal.

        By using the ATOP procedures to exchange old notes, you will not be required to deliver a letter of transmittal to the exchange agent. However, you will be bound by its terms just as if you had signed it.

        There is no procedure for guaranteed late delivery of the notes.

Determinations Under the Exchange Offer

        We will determine, in our sole discretion, all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt, acceptance of tendered old notes and withdrawal of tendered old notes. Our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any old notes not properly tendered or any old notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular old notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, all defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes must be cured within such time as we shall determine. Although we intend to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of old notes will not be deemed made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any old notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned to the tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, promptly following the expiration date of the exchange.

When We Will Issue New Notes

        In all cases, we will issue new notes for old notes that we have accepted for exchange under the exchange offer only after the exchange agent timely receives:

•

a book-entry confirmation of such old notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC; and



•

a properly transmitted agent's message.

Return of Old Notes Not Accepted or Exchanged

        If we do not accept any tendered old notes for exchange or if old notes are submitted for a greater principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, the unaccepted or non-exchanged old notes will be returned without expense to their tendering holder. Such non-exchanged old notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC. These actions will occur promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

Your Representations to Us

        By agreeing to be bound by the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that, among other things:

•

any new notes that you receive will be acquired in the ordinary course of your business;



•

you have no arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in the distribution of the new notes;



•

you are not our "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act;



•

if you are a broker-dealer that will receive new notes for your own account in exchange for old notes, you acquired those notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and you will deliver a prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus) in connection with any resale of such new notes; and



•

if you are a broker-dealer that participates in the exchange offer with respect to old notes acquired for your own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with us or any of our "affiliates" to distribute the new notes.

Withdrawal of Tenders

        Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. For a withdrawal to be effective, you must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC's ATOP system. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with withdrawn old notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of DTC.

        We will determine all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility and time of receipt of notice of withdrawal. Our determination shall be final and binding on all parties. We will deem any old notes so withdrawn not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer.

        Any old notes that have been tendered for exchange but are not exchanged for any reason will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for the old notes. This crediting will take place promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. You may retender properly withdrawn old notes by following the procedures described under "—Procedures for Tendering" above at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer.

Fees and Expenses

        We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders. The principal solicitation is being made by electronic mail; however, we may make additional solicitation by facsimile, telephone, mail or in person by our officers and regular employees and those of our affiliates.

        We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not make any payments to broker-dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. We will, however, pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reimburse it for its related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

        We will pay the cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer. They include:

•

all registration and filing fees and expenses;



•

all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state "blue sky" or securities laws;

23

Table of Contents

•

accounting and legal fees, disbursements and printing, messenger and delivery services, and telephone costs; and



•

related fees and expenses.

Transfer Taxes

        We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of old notes under the exchange offer. The tendering holder, however, will be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person, if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old notes under the exchange offer.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

        If you do not exchange new notes for your old notes under the exchange offer you will remain subject to the existing restrictions on transfer of the old notes. In general, you may not offer or sell the old notes unless the offer or sale is either registered under the Securities Act or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreement, we do not intend to register resales of the old notes under the Securities Act.

Accounting Treatment

        We will record the new notes in our accounting records at the same carrying value as the old notes. This carrying value is the aggregate principal amount of the old notes less any bond discount, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes in connection with the exchange offer.

Other

        Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary and you should carefully consider whether to accept. You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on what action to take.

        We may in the future seek to acquire untendered old notes in open market or privately-negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. We have no present plans to acquire any old notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered old notes.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

        The following table presents the ratios of earnings to fixed charges of the Partnership for the periods indicated. For purposes of computing the ratios of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes plus fixed charges and loss (income) from continuing operations before income taxes attributable to noncontrolling interests. Fixed charges consists of interest expense plus loss on early extinguishment of debt and the portion of rental expense estimated to relate to interest. The portion of rental expense estimated to relate to interest represents one-third of total operating lease rental expense, which is the portion estimated to represent interest.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        The exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement. We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the new notes in the exchange offer. In consideration for issuing the new notes as contemplated by this prospectus, we will receive old notes in a like principal amount. The form and terms of the new notes are identical in all respects to the form and terms of the old notes, except the new notes will be registered under the Securities Act and will not contain restrictions on transfer, registration rights or provisions for additional interest. Old notes surrendered in exchange for the new notes will be retired and cancelled and will not be reissued. Accordingly, the issuance of the new notes will not result in any change in outstanding indebtedness.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

        You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading "—Definitions." In this description, the words "NGL Energy," "us," "our" and "we" refer only to NGL Energy Partners LP and not to any of its Subsidiaries, and the words "Finance Corp." refer solely to NGL Energy Finance Corp. The term "Issuers" refers to NGL Energy and Finance Corp., collectively.

        The Issuers will issue new notes under an indenture dated as of the Issue Date (the "indenture"), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "trustee"), in exchange for old notes issued under the indenture in a private transaction that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. See "Notice to Investors." The terms of the notes will include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act").

        The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture. It does not restate the indenture in its entirety. We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as holders of the notes.

        The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the indenture and all references to "holders" in this description are to registered holders of notes.

Brief Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees

The Notes

        The new notes will:

•

be general unsecured obligations of each of the Issuers;



•

be non-recourse to our general partner;



•

rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated Indebtedness of each of the Issuers, including the Existing Senior Notes;



•

rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of each of the Issuers;



•

be structurally subordinated to all obligations of any of our Subsidiaries;



•

be unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors on a senior unsecured basis; and



•

rank effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured Indebtedness of each of the Issuers, including indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and the Existing Senior Secured Notes, which are secured by substantially all of the assets of NGL Energy and the Guarantors, to the extent of the assets of the Issuers constituting collateral securing such Indebtedness. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The notes and the guarantees will be unsecured and effectively subordinated to our and our subsidiary guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness." and "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The notes and the guarantees will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness of our non-guarantor subsidiaries."

The Note Guarantees

        Initially, the notes will be guaranteed by each Restricted Subsidiary (other than Finance Corp.) that is a Domestic Subsidiary and an obligor under the Credit Agreement. In the future, other Restricted Subsidiaries will be required to guarantee the notes under the circumstances described below under "—Covenants—Additional Note Guarantees."

28

---

Table of Contents

        Each guarantee of the notes will:

•

be a general unsecured obligation of the applicable Guarantor;



•

rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor, including the guarantees of the Existing Senior Notes;



•

rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor; and



•

rank effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured Indebtedness of such Guarantor, including indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and the Existing Senior Secured Notes, to the extent of the assets of such Guarantor constituting collateral securing such Indebtedness.

        As of the Issue Date, all of our Restricted Subsidiaries will guarantee the notes, other than NGL Gateway Terminals, Inc., High Sierra Energy GP, LLC, High Sierra Shared Services, LLC, Petro Source Products, LLC, NGL Crude Canada ULC, Indigo Injection #3-1, LLC, Atlantic Propane LLC and NGL Hutch, LLC. As of the Issue Date, none of these Subsidiaries guarantees (or is otherwise liable for) any Obligations under any Credit Facility, including the Credit Agreement.

        As of the Issue Date, all of our Subsidiaries will be "Restricted Subsidiaries." However, under the circumstances described below under the caption "—Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries," we will be permitted to designate certain of our Subsidiaries as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries." Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Unrestricted Subsidiary will pay the holders of its debt and its trade creditors before it will be able to distribute any of its assets to NGL Energy.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

        The Issuers will issue up to $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of new notes in this exchange offer. The Issuers may issue additional notes under the indenture from time to time after this offering. Any issuance of additional notes is subject to all of the covenants in the indenture, including the covenant described below under the caption "—Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock." The notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Issuers will issue notes in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The notes will mature on July 15, 2019.

        Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 5.125% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, beginning on January 15, 2015. The Issuers will make each interest payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding January 1 and July 1.

        Interest on the notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. If an interest payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment to be made on such interest payment date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such interest payment date, and no Liquidated Damages will accrue as a result of such delayed payment.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

        If a holder of notes has given wire transfer instructions to NGL Energy, NGL Energy will pay all principal, interest and premium, if any, on that holder's notes in accordance with those instructions to

29

---

Table of Contents

an account in the United States of America. All other payments on the notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar in New York, New York, unless we elect to make interest payments by check mailed to the noteholders at their address set forth in the register of holders.

Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

        The trustee is acting as paying agent and registrar. The Issuers may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the notes, and NGL Energy or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

Transfer and Exchange

        A holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the provisions of the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Issuers will not be required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuers will not be required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed or between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

Note Guarantees

        Initially, all of the notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of NGL Energy's current Restricted Subsidiaries (except Finance Corp.) that is a Domestic Subsidiary and an obligor under the Credit Agreement. In the future, Restricted Subsidiaries will be required to guarantee the notes under the circumstances described under "—Covenants—Additional Note Guarantees." These Note Guarantees will be joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Note Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law, although this limitation may not be effective to prevent the Note Guarantees from being voided in bankruptcy. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from subsidiary guarantors."

        A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of, in one or more related transactions, all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (regardless of whether such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than NGL Energy or another Guarantor, unless:

        (1)   immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of related transactions, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

        (2)   either:

        (a)   (i) such Guarantor is the surviving Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) the Person acquiring the properties or assets in any such sale or other disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the indenture (including its Note Guarantee) pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the trustee; or

        (b)   such transaction or series of transactions does not violate the provisions of the indenture described under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales."

        The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released automatically:

        (1)   in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of that Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to a Person that is not

Table of Contents

(either before or after giving effect to such transaction) NGL Energy or a Restricted Subsidiary of NGL Energy, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the "Asset Sales" provisions of the indenture described below under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales";

        (2)   in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor (by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) NGL Energy or a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture described below under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales" and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the sale or other disposition;

        (3)   if NGL Energy designates such Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture;

        (4)   upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture as provided below under the captions "—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" and "—Satisfaction and Discharge";

        (5)   upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor, provided no Default or Event of Default occurs as a result thereof or has occurred or is continuing;

        (6)   upon such Guarantor consolidating with, merging into or transferring all of its properties or assets to NGL Energy or another Guarantor, and as a result of, or in connection with, such transaction such Guarantor dissolves or otherwise ceases to exist; or

        (7)   at such time as such Guarantor is no longer required to be a Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the covenant described under the caption "—Covenants—Additional Note Guarantees."

Optional Redemption

        Except as described below in this section or in the next-to-last paragraph of "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control," the notes are not redeemable at our option. On one or more occasions on or after June 15, 2019 (one month prior to maturity), NGL Energy may redeem all or a part of the notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes redeemed to but excluding, the redemption date, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. On one or more occasions prior to June 15, 2019 (one month prior to maturity), NGL Energy may redeem all or a part of the notes, at a redemption price equal to the Make-Whole Price, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

        "Make-Whole Price" with respect to any notes to be redeemed, means an amount equal to the greater of:

        (1)   100% of the principal amount of such notes; and

        (2)   the sum of the present values of (a) 100% of the principal amount of such notes and (b) the remaining scheduled payments of interest from the redemption date to June 15, 2019 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date) discounted back to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points;

plus, in the case of both (1) and (2), accrued and unpaid interest on such notes, if any, to the redemption date.

Table of Contents

        "Comparable Treasury Issue" means, with respect to notes to be redeemed, the U.S. Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to July 15, 2019, that would be utilized at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity; provided that if such period is less than one year, then the U.S. Treasury security having a maturity of one year shall be used.

        "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the trustee obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

        "Independent Investment Banker" means RBS Securities Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, or one of their respective successors, or, if such firms or their respective successors, if any, as the case may be, are unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by NGL Energy.

        "Primary Treasury Dealer" means a U.S. government securities dealer in the City of New York.

        "Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of RBS Securities Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC and two additional Primary Treasury Dealers selected by NGL Energy, and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any such firm or any such successor, as the case may be, shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, NGL Energy shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

        "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, no later than the fourth Business Day preceding such redemption date.

        "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated "H.15(159)" or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the stated maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated no later than the fourth Business Day preceding the redemption date.

        The notice of redemption with respect to the foregoing redemption need not set forth the Make-Whole Price but only the manner of calculation thereof. NGL Energy will notify the trustee of the Make-Whole Price with respect to any redemption promptly after the calculation, and the trustee shall not be responsible for such calculation.

Table of Contents

Selection and Notice

        If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee will select notes for redemption on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of notes in global form, the trustee will select notes for redemption based on the method of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection), unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements.

        No notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of optional redemption will be mailed by first class mail (or, in the case of notes in global form, pursuant to the applicable procedures of DTC) at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture.

        If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption, unless the redemption is subject to a condition precedent that is not satisfied or waived.

        On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes or portions of notes called for redemption, unless NGL Energy defaults in making the redemption payment. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at our discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent.

Open Market Purchases; No Mandatory Redemption or Sinking Fund

        We may at any time and from time to time purchase notes in the open market or otherwise. The Issuers are not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders

Change of Control

        If a Change of Control occurs, each holder of notes will have the right, except as provided below, to require NGL Energy to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that holder's notes pursuant to an offer ("Change of Control Offer") on the terms set forth in the indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, NGL Energy will offer to make a cash payment (a "Change of Control Payment") equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Purchase Date"), subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, NGL Energy will send a notice to each holder of notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase properly tendered notes on the Change of Control Purchase Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, pursuant to the procedures required by the indenture and described in such notice. NGL Energy will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes of any series as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the indenture, NGL Energy will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the indenture by virtue of such compliance.

33

Table of Contents

        Promptly following the expiration of the Change of Control Offer, NGL Energy will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Promptly after such acceptance, NGL Energy will, on the Change of Control Purchase Date:

        (1)   deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly tendered; and

        (2)   deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the notes properly accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes being purchased by NGL Energy.

        The paying agent will promptly mail or wire transfer to each holder of notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes (or, if all the notes are then in global form, make such payment through the facilities of DTC), and the trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. Any note so accepted for payment will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Purchase Date, unless NGL Energy defaults in making the Change of Control Payment. NGL Energy will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Purchase Date.

        The provisions described above that require NGL Energy to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable regardless of whether any other provisions of the indenture are applicable, except as described in the following paragraph. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders of the notes to require that the Issuers repurchase or redeem the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

        NGL Energy will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control, if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by NGL Energy and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, (2) notice of redemption of all outstanding notes has been given pursuant to the indenture as described above under the caption "—Selection and Notice," unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price, or (3) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, NGL Energy has made an offer to purchase (an "Alternate Offer") any and all notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Alternate Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the indenture, a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer is made.

        In the event that holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes accept a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer and NGL Energy (or any third party making such Change of Control Offer in lieu of NGL Energy as described above) purchases all of the notes held by such holders, NGL Energy will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer described above, to redeem all of the notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes that remain outstanding, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant

record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

        The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require the Issuers to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.

Asset Sales

        NGL Energy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

        (1)   NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or any Person assuming responsibilities for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

        (2)   at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiaries (considered together on a cumulative basis, with all consideration received by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of other Asset Sales consummated since the Measuring Date) is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

        (a)   any liabilities, as shown on NGL Energy's most recent consolidated balance sheet, of NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and Subordinated Debt) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement (or other legal documentation with the same effect) that releases NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary against further liability;

        (b)   any securities, notes or other obligations received by NGL Energy or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are, within 90 days after the Asset Sale, converted by NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

        (c)   any Additional Assets of the kind referred to in clause (2) of the next paragraph of this covenant.

        Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale or, if NGL Energy has entered into a binding commitment or commitments with respect to any of the actions described in clauses (2) or (3) below, within the later of (x) 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale and (y) 120 days after the entering into of such commitment or commitments, NGL Energy or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries may apply an amount equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds:

        (1)   to repay, redeem or repurchase any Senior Debt provided that such repayment, redemption or repurchase may close up to 45 days after the end of such 365-day period;

        (2)   to invest in or acquire Additional Assets; or

35

---

Table of Contents

        (3)   to make capital expenditures in respect of a Permitted Business.

        Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture. An amount equal to any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in in clauses (1) through (3) of the immediately preceding paragraph will constitute "Excess Proceeds." Within ten Business Days after the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million, the Issuers will make an offer (an "Asset Sale Offer") to all holders of notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the trustee will select the notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any notes represented by a note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require or, where such nominee or successor is the trustee, a method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as the trustee deems fair and appropriate unless otherwise required by law), based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by NGL Energy so that only notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sale, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be governed by the provisions of the indenture described under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control" and/or the provisions described under the caption "—Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Substantially All Assets" and not by the provisions of the indenture described under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales."

        NGL Energy will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sales provisions of the indenture, or compliance with the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture would constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations, NGL Energy will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture by virtue of such compliance. The agreements governing NGL Energy's other Indebtedness contain, and future agreements may contain, prohibitions of certain events, including events that would constitute a Change of Control or an Asset Sale and including repurchases of or other prepayments in respect of the notes. The exercise by the holders of notes of their right to require the Issuers to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control or an Asset Sale could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Change of Control or Asset Sale itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases on NGL Energy. In the event a Change of Control or Asset Sale occurs at a time when

36

Table of Contents

NGL Energy is prohibited from purchasing notes, NGL Energy could seek the consent of its senior lenders to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If NGL Energy does not obtain a consent or repay those borrowings, NGL Energy will remain prohibited from purchasing notes. In that case, NGL Energy's failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the indenture which could, in turn, constitute a default under the other indebtedness. Finally, the Issuers' ability to pay cash to the holders of notes upon a repurchase may be limited by NGL Energy's then-existing financial resources. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—We may not have the funds necessary to finance the repurchase of the notes in connection with a change of control offer required by the indenture."

Covenants

Covenant Termination

        From and after the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event, and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, we and our Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the following provisions of the indenture (collectively, the "Terminated Covenants"):

        (a)   clause (4) of the covenant described under "—Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Substantially All Assets" and

        (b)   the provisions of the indenture described above under the following headings:

•

"—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales;"



•

"—Covenants—Restricted Payments;"



•

"—Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock;"



•

"—Covenants—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries;" and



•

"—Covenants—Transactions with Affiliates."

        Furthermore, after an Investment Grade Rating Event, NGL Energy may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

        Consequently, after the date on which we and our Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer subject to the Terminated Covenants, the notes will be entitled to substantially reduced covenant protection. However, we and our Restricted Subsidiaries will remain subject to all other covenants in the indenture. There can be no assurance that the notes will ever achieve or maintain an Investment Grade Rating.

Restricted Payments

        NGL Energy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

        (1)   declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of NGL Energy's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of NGL Energy's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of NGL Energy and other than dividends or distributions payable to NGL Energy or a Restricted Subsidiary);

        (2)   purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving NGL Energy) any Equity Interests of NGL Energy or any direct or indirect parent of NGL Energy;

        (3)   make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, any Subordinated Debt (other than intercompany Indebtedness between or among NGL Energy and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except a payment of interest or principal within one year of the Stated Maturity thereof; or

        (4)   make any Restricted Investment

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, no Default (except a Reporting Default) or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment and either:

        (I)   if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for NGL Energy's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (the "Trailing Four Quarters") is not less than 1.75 to 1.0, such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the fiscal quarter in which such Restricted Payment is made (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10) and (11) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

        (a)   Available Cash from Operating Surplus with respect to NGL Energy's preceding fiscal quarter; plus

        (b)   100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds, and the Fair Market Value of any Capital Stock of Persons engaged primarily in a Permitted Business or other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business, in each case received by NGL Energy since the Measuring Date from (x) a contribution to the common equity capital of NGL Energy from any Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) or (y) the issuance and sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of NGL Energy or from the issuance or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of NGL Energy that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock); plus

        (c)   to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the Measuring Date is sold for cash or Cash Equivalents or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash or Cash Equivalents, the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any); plus

        (d)   the amount equal to the net reduction in Restricted Investments since the Measuring Date resulting from (i) dividends, repayments of loans or advances, or other transfers of assets, in each case, to NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from any Person (including, without limitation, any Unrestricted Subsidiary) or (ii) the redesignation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, to the extent such amounts have not been included in Available Cash for any period commencing on or after the Measuring Date (items (b), (c) and (d) being referred to as "Incremental Funds"); minus

        (e)   the aggregate amount of Incremental Funds previously expended pursuant to this clause (I) and clause (II) below; or

        (II)  if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Trailing Four Quarters is less than 1.75 to 1.0, such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments

made by NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the fiscal quarter in which such Restricted Payment is made (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10) and (11) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

        (a)   $200.0 million, less the aggregate amount of all prior Restricted Payments made by NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (II)(a) since the Issue Date; plus

        (b)   Incremental Funds to the extent not previously expended pursuant to this clause (II) or clause (I) above;

provided, however, that the only Restricted Payments permitted to be made pursuant to this clause (II) are distributions on NGL Energy's common and subordinated units plus the related distributions on the General Partner's general partner interest and any distributions with respect to incentive distribution rights.

        The preceding provisions will not prohibit:

        (1)   the payment of any dividend or distribution or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or distribution or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend, distribution or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of the indenture;

        (2)   the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent (a) contribution (other than from a Restricted Subsidiary) to the equity capital of NGL Energy or (b) sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of Equity Interests of NGL Energy (other than Disqualified Stock), with a sale being deemed substantially concurrent if such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value occurs not more than 120 days after such sale; provided, however, that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value will be excluded (or deducted, if included) from the calculation of Available Cash and Incremental Funds;

        (3)   the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Debt with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of, or in exchange for, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

        (4)   the payment of any dividend or distribution by a Restricted Subsidiary to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

        (6)   the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of unit options, warrants, incentives, rights to acquire Equity Interests or other convertible securities if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise or exchange price thereof, and any purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests made in lieu of withholding taxes in connection with any exercise or exchange of unit options, warrants, incentives or rights to acquire Equity Interests;

        (7)   payments of cash, dividends, distributions, advances or other Restricted Payments, in each case, made in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares or units in connection with the exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible or exchangeable for Equity Interests or in connection with the payment of a dividend or distribution to the holders of Equity Interests of NGL Energy in the form of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of NGL Energy;

        (9)   payments to the General Partner constituting reimbursements for expenses in accordance with the Partnership Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date and as it may be amended or replaced thereafter, provided that any such amendment or replacement is not materially less favorable to NGL Energy in any material respect than the agreement prior to such amendment or replacement;

        (10) as long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of NGL Energy or any preferred securities of any Restricted Subsidiary issued on or after the Issue Date in accordance with the covenant described below under the caption "—Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock;"

        (12) the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Debt (a) at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Debt plus accrued interest in accordance with provisions similar to the covenant described under "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control" or (b) at a purchase price not greater than 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest in accordance with provisions similar to the covenant described under "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales;" provided that, prior to or simultaneously with such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value, NGL Energy shall have complied with the provisions of the indenture described under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control" or "Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales," as the case may be, and repurchased all notes validly tendered for payment in connection with the Change of Control Offer, Asset Sale Offer or Alternate Offer, as the case may be.

        The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of the Restricted Payment, of the Restricted Investment proposed to be made or the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment, except that the Fair Market Value of any non-cash dividend or distribution paid within 60 days after the date of its declaration shall be determined as of such date of declaration. The Fair Market Value of any

Table of Contents

        Restricted Investment, assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined in accordance with the definition of that term. For purposes of determining compliance with this "Restricted Payments" covenant, (x) in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in the preceding clauses (1) through (12) of this covenant, or is permitted pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, NGL Energy will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) on the date made or later reclassify such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant; and (y) in the event a Restricted Payment is made pursuant to clause (I) or (II) of the first paragraph of this covenant, NGL Energy will be permitted to classify whether all or any portion thereof is being (and in the absence of such classification shall be deemed to have classified the minimum amount possible as having been) made with Incremental Funds.

Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock

        NGL Energy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, Guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur"; with "incurrence" having a correlative meaning) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and NGL Energy will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that NGL Energy may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and issue Disqualified Stock, and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and issue preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for NGL Energy's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness or issuances of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, as applicable (collectively, "Permitted Debt"):

        (1)   the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed the greater of (a) $2.2 billion and (b) $700.0 million plus 35.0% of the Total Assets of NGL Energy determined on the date of such incurrence;

        (2)   the incurrence by NGL Energy or its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness;

        (3)   the incurrence by the Issuers and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by (a) the notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued on the Issue Date and (b) the Exchange Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement;

        (4)   the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4) at any time;

provided that, immediately after giving effect to any such incurrence, the principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4) and then outstanding does not exceed the greater of (a) $75.0 million and (b) 3.25% of the Total Assets of NGL Energy;

        (5)   the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to extend, renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease, discharge or otherwise retire for value, any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) or Disqualified Stock of NGL Energy, or Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) or preferred stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case that was permitted by the indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clause (2), (3), (4), (13), (14) or (15) of this paragraph or this clause (5);

        (6)   the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among NGL Energy and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

        (a)   if NGL Energy or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not NGL Energy or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the notes, in the case of NGL Energy, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and

        (b)   (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than NGL Energy or a Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither NGL Energy nor a Restricted Subsidiary, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

        (7)   the issuance by any of NGL Energy's Restricted Subsidiaries to NGL Energy or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

        (a)   any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than NGL Energy or a Restricted Subsidiary; and

        (b)   any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is neither NGL Energy nor a Restricted Subsidiary, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (7);

        (8)   the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;

        (9)   the Guarantee by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of NGL Energy or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent that the guaranteed Indebtedness was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the notes, then the Guarantee must be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness Guaranteed;

        (10) the incurrence by NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness consisting of the financing of insurance premiums in customary amounts consistent with the operations and business of NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

        (11) the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit; provided that, upon the

drawing of such letters of credit, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing;

        (12) the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of liability in respect of the Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Joint Venture but only to the extent that such liability is the result of NGL Energy's or any such Restricted Subsidiary's being a general partner or member of, or owner of an Equity Interest in, such Unrestricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture and not as guarantor of such Indebtedness;

provided that, immediately after giving effect to any such incurrence, the principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (12) and then outstanding does not exceed $25.0 million;

        (13) the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Acquisition Indebtedness;

        (14) the incurrence by any Foreign Subsidiary of Indebtedness that, in the aggregate together with all other Indebtedness of all Foreign Subsidiaries (including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease, discharge or otherwise retire for value any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (14)), does not exceed $50.0 million; and

        (15) the incurrence by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness and the issuance by NGL Energy of any Disqualified Stock, provided that, immediately after giving effect to any such incurrence or issuance, the amount of all such Indebtedness and Disqualified Stock incurred or issued pursuant to this clause (15) and then outstanding (including all Indebtedness and Disqualified Stock incurred or issued to Refinance any Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock incurred or issued pursuant to this clause (15)) does not exceed the greater of (a) $75.0 million and (b) 3.25% of the Total Assets of NGL Energy determined on the date of such incurrence.

        NGL Energy will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of NGL Energy or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the notes or the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of NGL Energy or any Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis.

        For purposes of determining compliance with this "Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (15) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, NGL Energy will be permitted in its sole discretion to divide, redivide, classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, and later divide, redivide, classify or reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant.

        Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which notes are first issued and authenticated under the indenture will initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt. The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of any obligation of NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock will

not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant; provided that, in each such case, the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of NGL Energy as accrued to the extent required by the definition of such term.

        For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. The principal amount of any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Liens

        NGL Energy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless the notes or any Note Guarantee are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the Indebtedness so secured until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien).

        Any Lien securing the notes or Note Guarantees created pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the unconditional release and discharge of the initial Lien whose existence resulted in the creation of such Lien securing the notes or Note Guarantees.

Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries

        NGL Energy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

        (1)   pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or pay any Indebtedness owed to NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the priority that any series of preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary has in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions before dividends or liquidating distributions are paid in respect of common stock of such Restricted Subsidiary shall not constitute a restriction on the ability to make dividends or distributions on Capital Stock for purposes of this covenant;

        (2)   make loans or advances to NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to NGL Energy or any such Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by NGL Energy or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or

        (3)   sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

        (2)   the indenture, the notes and the Note Guarantees;

        (3)   agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described above under the caption "—Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the encumbrances or restrictions therein are, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Chief Financial Officer of the General Partner, not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the provisions contained in the Credit Agreement and in the indenture as in effect on the Issue Date;

        (4)   the issuance of preferred stock by a Restricted Subsidiary or the payment of dividends thereon in accordance with the terms thereof; provided that issuance of such preferred stock is permitted pursuant to the covenant described under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" and the terms of such preferred stock do not expressly restrict the ability of a Restricted Subsidiary to pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock (other than requirements to pay dividends or liquidation preferences on such preferred stock prior to paying any dividends or making any other distributions on such other Capital Stock);

        (5)   applicable law, rule, regulation, order, approval, license, permit or similar restriction;

        (6)   any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, extensions, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided that, the encumbrances or restrictions contained in any such amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, extensions, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Chief Financial Officer of the General Partner, not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those in effect on the date of the acquisition; provided, further, that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the indenture to be incurred;

        (7)   customary non-assignment provisions in contracts or licenses, easements or leases, in each case, entered into in the ordinary course of business;

        (9)   any agreement for the sale or other disposition of the Equity Interests in, or all or substantially all of the properties or assets of, a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending the sale or other disposition;

        (10) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

        (11) Liens permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described above under the caption "—Covenants—Liens" that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

        (14) encumbrances or restrictions on cash, Cash Equivalents or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

        (15) any agreement or instrument relating to any property or assets acquired after the Issue Date, so long as such encumbrance or restriction relates only to the property or assets so acquired and is not and was not created in anticipation of such acquisition;

        (16) Hedging Obligations permitted from time to time under the indenture; and

        (17) Indebtedness incurred or Capital Stock issued by any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements or instruments governing such Indebtedness or Capital Stock (a) apply only in the event of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial covenant in such agreement or instrument or (b) will not materially affect NGL Energy's ability to make principal, interest and premium, if any, on the notes, as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the General Partner.

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

        Neither of the Issuers may (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (regardless of whether such Issuer is the surviving entity), or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

        (1)   either: (a) such Issuer is the surviving entity; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided,

however, that Finance Corp. may not consolidate or merge with or into any Person other than a corporation satisfying such requirement so long as NGL Energy is not a corporation;

        (2)   the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of such Issuer under the notes and the indenture (and the Registration Rights Agreement, if any obligations thereunder remain unsatisfied) pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other agreement reasonably satisfactory to the trustee;

        (3)   immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;

        (4)   in the case of a transaction involving NGL Energy and not Finance Corp., immediately after giving effect to such transaction and any related financing transaction on a pro forma basis as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, either (a) NGL Energy or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than NGL Energy), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made, would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption "—Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," or (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of NGL Energy or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than NGL Energy), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made, is equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of NGL Energy immediately prior to such transaction; and

        (5)   such Issuer has delivered to the trustee an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required, such supplemental indenture, comply with the indenture.

        Notwithstanding the restrictions described in the foregoing clause (4), any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Finance Corp.) may consolidate with, merge into or dispose of all or part of its properties or assets to NGL Energy without complying with the preceding clause (4) in connection with any such consolidation, merger or disposition.

        Notwithstanding the second preceding paragraph, NGL Energy is permitted to reorganize as any other form of entity, provided that:

        (1)   the reorganization involves the conversion (by merger, sale, contribution or exchange of assets or otherwise) of NGL Energy into a form of entity other than a limited partnership formed under Delaware law;

        (2)   the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

        (3)   the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization assumes all the obligations of NGL Energy under the notes and the indenture (and the Registration Rights Agreement, if any obligations thereunder remain unsatisfied) pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee;

        (4)   immediately after such reorganization no Default or Event of Default exists; and

        (5)   such reorganization is not materially adverse to the holders or Beneficial Owners of the notes (for purposes of this clause (5), a reorganization will not be considered materially adverse to the holders or Beneficial Owners of the notes solely because the successor or survivor of such reorganization (a) is subject to federal or state income taxation as an entity or (b) is considered to be an "includible corporation" of an affiliated group of corporations within the meaning of Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue Code or any similar state or local law).

        For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, which properties or assets, if held by NGL Energy instead of such Restricted Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties or assets of NGL Energy on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of NGL Energy.

        Notwithstanding anything in the indenture to the contrary, in the event that NGL Energy becomes a corporation or NGL Energy or the Person formed by or surviving any consolidation or merger (permitted in accordance with the terms of the indenture) is a corporation, Finance Corp. may be merged into NGL Energy or it may be dissolved and cease to be an Issuer.

        Upon any consolidation or merger or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of an Issuer in accordance with the foregoing in which such Issuer is not the surviving entity, the surviving Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which such Issuer is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, such Issuer under the indenture with the same effect as if such surviving Person had been named as such Issuer in the indenture, and thereafter (except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of such Issuer's properties or assets), such Issuer will be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the indenture and the notes. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve "all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of a Person.

Transactions with Affiliates

        NGL Energy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of NGL Energy (each, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

        (1)   the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to NGL Energy or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person or, if in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of NGL Energy, no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction, such Affiliate Transaction is otherwise fair to NGL Energy or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; and

        (2)   NGL Energy delivers to the trustee:

        (a)   with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million but less than or equal to $40.0 million, an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with this covenant; and

        (b)   with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $40.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of NGL Energy set forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions has been approved by either the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of NGL Energy (so long as the

48

Table of Contents

members of the Conflicts Committee approving the Affiliate transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions are disinterested) or a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of NGL Energy, if any.

        The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

        (1)   any employment, consulting or similar agreement or arrangement, employee benefit plan, equity award, equity option, equity appreciation, officer or director indemnification agreement, restricted unit agreement, severance agreement or other compensation plan or arrangement entered into by the General Partner, NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments, awards, grants or issuances of securities made pursuant thereto;

        (2)   transactions between or among NGL Energy and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

        (3)   transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that is an Affiliate of NGL Energy solely because NGL Energy owns, directly or through a Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

        (4)   payment of reasonable fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity arrangements or otherwise) of, and compensation paid to, and indemnity or insurance provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the General Partner, NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, reimbursement or advancement of out-of-pocket expenses and provisions of officers' and directors' liability insurance;

        (5)   any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to, or receipt of capital contributions from, Affiliates of NGL Energy;

        (6)   Restricted Payments that do not violate the provisions of the indenture described above under the caption "—Covenants—Restricted Payments" or any Permitted Investments;

        (7)   payments to the General Partner with respect to reimbursement for expenses in accordance with the Partnership Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date and as it may be amended, provided that any such amendment is not less favorable to NGL Energy in any material respect than the agreement prior to such amendment;

        (8)   transactions between NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any other Person, a director of which is also on the Board of Directors of NGL Energy, and such common director is the sole cause for such other Person to be deemed an Affiliate of NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a member of the Board of Directors of NGL Energy on any transaction with such other Person;

        (9)   (a) guarantees by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of performance of obligations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, except for guarantees of Indebtedness in respect of borrowed money, and (b) pledges by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Equity Interests in Unrestricted Subsidiaries for the benefit of lenders or other creditors of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

        (10) payments to an Affiliate in respect of the notes or the Note Guarantees or any other Indebtedness of NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary on the same basis as concurrent payments made or offered to be made in respect thereof to non-Affiliates;

        (11) payment of loans or advances to employees not to exceed $5.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding;

Table of Contents

        (12) any Affiliate Transaction with a Person in its capacity as a holder of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of NGL Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary if such Person is treated no more favorably than the other holders of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary;

        (13) transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries, customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, or lessors or lessees of property, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the indenture which are, in the aggregate (taking into account all the costs and benefits associated with such transactions), not materially less favorable to NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated person, in the good faith determination of NGL Energy's Board of Directors or any officer of NGL Energy involved in or otherwise familiar with such transaction, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

        (14) any transaction in which NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the trustee a letter from an accounting, appraisal, advisory or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to NGL Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or that such transaction meets the requirements of clause (1) of the preceding paragraph; and

        (15) in the case of contracts for gathering, transporting, treating, processing, marketing, distributing, storing or otherwise handling Hydrocarbons, or activities or services reasonably related or ancillary thereto, or other operational contracts, any such contracts that are entered into in the ordinary course of business on terms substantially similar to those contained in similar contracts entered into by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and third parties, or if neither NGL Energy nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has entered into a similar contract with a third party, then the terms of which are no less favorable than those available from third parties on an arm's-length basis.

Business Activities of Finance Corp.

        Finance Corp. will not hold any material assets, become liable for any material obligations, engage in any trade or business, or conduct any business activity, other than the issuance of capital stock to NGL Energy, the incurrence of Indebtedness as a co-issuer, co-obligor or guarantor of Indebtedness incurred by NGL Energy including without limitation the notes) that is permitted to be incurred by NGL Energy under the covenant described under "—Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" above, and activities incidental thereto.

Additional Note Guarantees

        If, on any date after the Issue Date, any Domestic Subsidiary that is not already a Guarantor, Guarantees (or otherwise becomes liable for) any Obligations under any Credit Facility, including the Credit Agreement, then, within 20 Business Days after such date, such Domestic Subsidiary will unconditionally Guarantee the notes and concurrently become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture in substantially the form specified in the indenture. Each Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released automatically at such time as such Guarantor is discharged or otherwise released from all its Obligations in respect of its Guarantee of (or other liability for) any Obligations under any Credit Facility; provided that such discharge or other release did not result directly from payment by such Guarantor in satisfaction of (a) its liability as a guarantor pursuant to such Guarantee, or (b) its primary liability for such Obligations (after demand or default under such Credit Facility). Furthermore, each Note Guarantee shall be subject to release as described under "—Note Guarantees."

Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

        The Board of Directors of NGL Energy may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the covenant described above under the caption "—Covenants—Restricted Payments" or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by NGL Energy. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of NGL Energy may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

        Any designation of a Subsidiary of NGL Energy as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the trustee by filing with the trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of NGL Energy giving effect to such designation and an Officers' Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by the covenant described above under the caption "—Covenants—Restricted Payments." If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under the covenant described under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," NGL Energy will be in default of such covenant.

        The Board of Directors of NGL Energy may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if: (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Reports

        Regardless of whether required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any notes are outstanding, NGL Energy will file with the SEC (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations, and upon request, NGL Energy will furnish (without exhibits) to the trustee for delivery to the holders of the notes:

        (1)   all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if NGL Energy were required to file such forms, including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by NGL Energy's certified independent accountants; and

        (2)   all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if NGL Energy were required to file such reports.

        NGL Energy will be deemed to have furnished such reports and information described above to the holders of Notes (and the trustee shall be deemed to have delivered such reports and information to the holders of the notes) if NGL Energy has filed such reports or information, respectively, with the SEC using the EDGAR filing system (or any successor filing system of the SEC) or, if the SEC will not

51

Table of Contents

accept such reports or information, if NGL Energy has posted such reports or information, respectively, on its website, and such reports or information, respectively, are available to holders of notes through internet access.

        For the avoidance of doubt, (a) such information will not be required to contain the separate financial information for Guarantors as contemplated by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X or any financial statements of unconsolidated subsidiaries or 50% or less owned Persons as contemplated by Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X or any schedules required by Regulation S-X, or in each case any successor provisions, and (b) such information shall not be required to comply with Regulation G under the Exchange Act or Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K with respect to any non-GAAP financial measures contained therein.

        Except as provided above, all such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports.

        If NGL Energy has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then, to the extent material, the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

        Any and all Defaults or Events of Default arising from a failure to furnish in a timely manner any financial information required by this covenant shall be deemed cured (and NGL Energy shall be deemed to be in compliance with this covenant) upon furnishing such financial information as contemplated by this covenant (but without regard to the date on which such financial statement or report is so furnished); provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the holders under "—Events of Defaults and Remedies" if the principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, on, the notes have been accelerated in accordance with the terms of the indenture and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure.

        In addition, NGL Energy will hold and participate in annual conference calls with the holders of the notes, beneficial owners of the notes, bona fide prospective investors, securities analysts and market makers to discuss the financial information required to be furnished pursuant to clause (1) above no later than ten Business Days after distribution of such financial information. NGL Energy shall be permitted to combine this conference call with any other conference call for other debt or equity holders or lenders.

        In addition, NGL Energy and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, they will furnish to the holders of notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

required pursuant to the covenants described under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders;"

        (4)   failure by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 30 days after written notice from the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes to comply with the provisions described under the captions "—Covenants—Restricted Payments" or "—Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" or to comply with the provisions described under the captions "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders" to the extent not described in clause (3) above;

        (5)   (a) except as addressed in subclause (b) of this clause (5), failure by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after written notice from the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes to comply with any of the other agreements in the indenture or the notes or (b) failure by NGL Energy for 180 days after notice from the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes to comply with the covenant described under the caption "—Covenants—Reports;"

        (6)   default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by NGL Energy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default:

        (a)   is caused by a failure to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment Default"); or

        (b)   results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $30.0 million or more; provided that if, prior to any acceleration of the notes, (i) any such default is cured or waived, (ii) any such acceleration of such Indebtedness is rescinded, or (iii) such Indebtedness is repaid, within a period of 10 Business Days from the continuation of such default beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, any Default or Event of Default (but not any acceleration of the notes) shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree;

        (7)   failure by NGL Energy or any Significant Subsidiary or group of NGL Energy's Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for NGL Energy and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments (entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction) aggregating in excess of $30.0 million (net of any amounts that a reputable and creditworthy insurance company has acknowledged liability for in writing), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

        (8)   except as permitted by the indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee, except, in each case, by reason of the release of such Note Guarantee in accordance with the indenture; and

        (9)   certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the indenture with respect to NGL Energy, Finance Corp. or any of NGL Energy's Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

        The indenture will provide that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to NGL Energy, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all then outstanding notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. However, the effect of such provision may be limited by applicable law. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may declare all of the notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to NGL Energy and, in case of a notice by holders, also to the trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a notice of acceleration.

        Holders of the notes may not enforce the indenture or the notes except as provided in the indenture. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The trustee may withhold from holders of the notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, interest or premium, if any.

        Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any holders of notes unless such holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, when due, no holder of a note may pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the notes unless:

        (1)   such holder has previously given the trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

        (2)   holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes make a written request to the trustee to pursue the remedy;

        (3)   such holder or holders offer and, if requested, provide to the trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

        (4)   the trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

        (5)   during such 60-day period, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes do not give the trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.

        The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes by written notice to the trustee may, on behalf of the holders of all of the notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the indenture, if the rescission would not violate any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of Default, in the payment of interest or premium, if any on, or the principal of, the notes.

        The Issuers are required to deliver to the trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the indenture. Within five Business Days of any executive officer of the General Partner or Finance Corp. becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuers will be required to deliver to the trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Unitholders and No Recourse to General Partner

        None of the General Partner or any director, officer, partner, employee, incorporator, manager, unitholder or other owner of Capital Stock of the General Partner, the Issuers or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors under the notes, the indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

        The Issuers may at any time, at the option of their respective Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate, elect to have all of their obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees ("Legal Defeasance") except for:

        (1)   the rights of holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium if any, on such notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

        (2)   the Issuers' obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

        (3)   the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee under the indenture, and the Issuers' and the Guarantors' obligations in connection therewith; and

        (4)   the Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture.

        In addition, the Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have their obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors released with respect to the provisions of the indenture described above under "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders" and under "—Covenants" (other than the covenant described under "—Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets," except to the extent described below) and the limitation imposed by clause (4) under "—Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets" (such release and termination being referred to as "Covenant Defeasance"), and thereafter any failure to comply with such obligations or provisions will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, the Events of Default described under clauses (3) through (7) under the caption "—Events of Default and Remedies" and the Event of Default described under clause (9) under the caption "—Events of Default and Remedies" (but only with respect to Subsidiaries of NGL Energy), in each case, will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes. If the Issuers exercise either their Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance option, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any Obligations under the indenture, including its Obligations in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee.

        In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

        (1)   The Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on the outstanding notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuers must specify whether the notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

Table of Contents

        (2)   in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that (a) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

        (3)   in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

        (4)   no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

        (5)   such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Issuers or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Issuers or any of the Guarantors is bound;

        (6)   the Issuers must deliver to the trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of preferring the holders of notes over the other creditors of the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuers or others;

        (7)   NGL Energy must deliver to the trustee an Officers' Certificate, stating that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (1) through (6) of this paragraph have been complied with; and

        (8)   NGL Energy must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel, stating that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (2), (3) and (5) of this paragraph have been complied with.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

        Except as provided in the next three succeeding paragraphs, the indenture or the notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes (including, without limitation, additional notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Special Interest, if any, on, the notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the indenture or the notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes (including, without limitation, additional notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes).

Table of Contents

        Without the consent of each holder of notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any notes held by a non-consenting holder):

        (1)   reduce the principal amount of notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

        (2)   reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the notes; provided, however, that any purchase or repurchase of notes, including pursuant to the covenants described above under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders," shall not be deemed a redemption of the notes;

        (3)   reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any note;

        (4)   waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the notes by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

        (5)   make any note payable in currency other than that stated in the notes;

        (6)   make any change in the provisions of the indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the notes;

        (7)   waive a redemption payment with respect to any note; provided, however, that any purchase or repurchase of notes, including pursuant to the covenants described above under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders," shall not be deemed a redemption of the notes;

        (8)   release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or the indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the indenture; or

        (9)   make any change in the preceding amendment, supplement and waiver provisions.

        Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of notes, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the trustee may amend or supplement the indenture, the notes or the Note Guarantees:

        (1)   to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

        (2)   to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes;

        (3)   to provide for the assumption of an Issuer's or a Guarantor's obligations to holders of notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of such Issuer's or Guarantor's properties or assets, as applicable;

        (4)   to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the indenture of any holder;

        (5)   to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

        (6)   to conform the text of the indenture or the notes to any provision of this Description of Notes to the extent that such provision in this Description of Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the indenture, the notes or the Note Guarantees;

        (7)   to provide for the issuance of additional notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the indenture as of the Issue Date;

        (8)   to secure the notes or the Note Guarantees;

        (9)   to add any additional Guarantor or to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its Note Guarantee, in each case as provided in the indenture; or

        (10) to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the indenture of a successor trustee.

        The consent of the holders is not necessary under the indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under the indenture requiring the approval of the holders becomes effective, NGL Energy will send to the holders a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure to give such notice, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Satisfaction and Discharge

        The indenture will be satisfied and discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the notes and as otherwise specified in the indenture), when:

        (1)   either:

        (a)   all notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or

        (b)   all notes that have not been delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the sending of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and either an Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the notes not delivered to the trustee for cancellation for principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on the notes to the date of maturity or redemption;

        (2)   in respect of clause 1(b), no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which either Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which either Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and in each case the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

        (3)   the Issuers or any Guarantor have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under the indenture; and

        (4)   the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the trustee under the indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

        In addition, the Issuers must deliver (a) an Officers' Certificate, stating that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above have been satisfied and (b) an opinion of counsel, stating that the condition precedent set forth in clause (4) above has been satisfied.

Concerning the Trustee

        U.S. Bank National Association will be the trustee under the indenture.

58

---

Table of Contents

        If the trustee becomes a creditor of either Issuer or any Guarantor, the indenture limits the right of the trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if the indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign.

        The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of notes, unless such holder has offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Governing Law

        The indenture, the notes and the Note Guarantees will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

        The new notes will be issued initially only in the form of one or more global notes (collectively, the "Global Notes"). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co., in each case for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may be held through the Euroclear System ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream") (as indirect participants in DTC).

        The Global Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for notes in registered, certificated form ("Certificated Notes") except in the limited circumstances described below. See "—Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes."

        In addition, transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants (including, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream), which may change from time to time.

Depository Procedures

        The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. The Issuers take no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urge investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

        DTC has advised the Issuers that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the "Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between the Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant,

Table of Contents

either directly or indirectly (collectively, the "Indirect Participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

        DTC has also advised the Issuers that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

        (1)   upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of the Participants designated by the initial purchasers with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and

        (2)   ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes).

        Except as described below, beneficial owners of interests in the Global Notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of Certificated Notes and will not be considered the registered owners or "holders" thereof under the indenture for any purpose.

        Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the indenture. Under the terms of the indenture, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither the Issuers, the Guarantors, the trustee nor any agent of the Issuers, the Guarantors or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

        (1)   any aspect of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or

        (2)   any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

        DTC has advised the Issuers that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee, the Issuers or the Guarantors. None of the Issuers, the Guarantors nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of the Participants or the Indirect Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes, and the Issuers, the Guarantors and the trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

        Subject to the transfer restrictions set forth under "Notice to Investors," transfers between the Participants will be effected in accordance with DTC's procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

        Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the notes described herein, cross-market transfers between the Participants, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC's rules on behalf of

60

Table of Contents

Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by their respective depositaries; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositaries for Euroclear or Clearstream.

        DTC has advised the Issuers that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for Certificated Notes, and to distribute such notes to its Participants.

Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

        A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if:

        (1)   DTC (a) notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Note or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and in either case the Issuers fail to appoint a successor depositary;

        (2)   the Issuers, at their option, notify the trustee in writing that they elect to cause the issuance of Certificated Notes; or

        (3)   there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the notes and DTC notifies the trustee of its decision to exchange the Global Notes for Certificated Notes.

        In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and will bear the applicable restrictive legend referred to in "Notice to Investors," unless that legend is not required by applicable law.

Exchange of Certificated Notes for Global Notes

        Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the indenture) to the effect that such transfer will comply with the appropriate transfer restrictions applicable to such notes. See "Notice to Investors."

Same Day Settlement and Payment

        The Issuers will make payments in respect of the notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or its nominee. The Issuers will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to Certificated Notes in the manner described above under "—Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes." The notes represented by the Global Notes are expected to trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds.

61

The Issuers expect that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

        Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a Participant will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised the Issuers that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a Participant will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC's settlement date.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the consummation of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until                         , 2014, all dealers effecting transactions in the new notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

        We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of new notes by broker-dealers. New notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the new notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such new notes. Any broker-dealer that resells new notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such new notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of new notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        For a period of 180 days after the consummation of the exchange offer, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all reasonable expenses incident to the exchange offer (including the reasonable expenses of one counsel for the holders of the notes) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the old notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

        Following completion of the exchange offer, we may, in our sole discretion, commence one or more additional exchange offers to holders of old notes who did not exchange their old notes for new notes in the exchange offer on terms which may differ from those contained in this prospectus and the enclosed letter of transmittal. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by us in connection with any additional exchange offers. These additional exchange offers may take place from time to time until all outstanding old notes have been exchanged for new notes, subject to the terms and conditions in the prospectus and letter of transmittal distributed by us in connection with these additional exchange offers.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

        The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to the exchange of old notes for new notes, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury Regulations, Internal Revenue Service rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which may be subject to change at any time by legislative, judicial or administrative action. These changes may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of new notes. We cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described in this discussion, and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel with respect to the U.S. federal tax consequences described herein. Some holders, including financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in securities or currencies, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar or persons who hold the notes as part of a hedge, conversion transaction, straddle or other risk reduction transaction may be subject to special rules not discussed below.

        We recommend that each holder consult his own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences of exchanging such holder's old notes for new notes, including the applicability and effect of any foreign, state, local or other tax laws or estate or gift tax considerations.

        We believe that the exchange of old notes for new notes will not be a taxable exchange to a holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a holder will not recognize gain or loss upon receipt of a new note in exchange for an old note in the exchange, and the holder's basis and holding period in the new note will be the same as its basis and holding period in the corresponding old note immediately before the exchange.

Item 22.    Undertakings.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by any registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of a registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, such registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        Each registrant hereby undertakes:

        To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

        (a)   include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

        (b)   reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

        (c)   to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement, or any material change to such information in this registration statement.

        That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

        That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if such registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement

or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

        That, for the purpose of determining liability of such registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of such registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

        (a)   preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

        (b)   any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of such registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrants;

        (c)   the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrants or their securities provided by or on behalf of such registrant; and

        (d)   any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by such registrant to the purchaser.

        That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of a registrant annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to, and meeting the requirements of, Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

        To respond to requests for information that are incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

        To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
