(d) Effective March 28, 2008, David C. Baggett and Martin C. White were appointed as directors of Genesis Energy, Inc., the general partner of Genesis Energy, L.P. (“GEL”), by Denbury Resources, Inc., the owner of our general partner.   Mr. Baggett and Mr. White both meet the listing standard requirements of the American Stock Exchange (“Amex”), and the Securities and Exchange Commission rules to be considered independent directors of GEL.

Mr. Baggett is the founder and managing partner of Opportune LPP, a financial consulting firm formed in June 2005.  From April 2003 until June 2005 he was a private investor.  From October 1998 until April 2003, he held various positions at American Plumbing and Mechanical, including President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and board member.   He has over twenty-five years of business experience, including six years as a partner with Deloitte & Touche LLP.  Mr. Baggett is 46 years old, a CPA and a graduate of Texas A&M University.

Mr. White retired in 2006 from Occidental Chemical Corporation (OxyChem) after most recently serving as Vice President of OxyChem’s joint venture, OxyVinyls, a position he has held since the formation of OxyVinyls in May 1999.  From May 1996 to May 1999, he held the position of Vice President of Marketing for OxyChem’s vinyl’s businesses. With the exception of one year as General Manager of OxyChem’s operations in Chile during mid-1995 to mid-1996 he held positions in OxyChem’s vinyl’s businesses since 1989. He served on the board of directors of P.W. Eagle, Inc. from June 2006 until June 2007 when P.W. Eagle, Inc. was sold, and was a member of its audit and governance committees.  Mr. White is 62 years old and holds a degree from the Royal Institute of Chemistry in London.

Mr. White has been appointed a member of the Audit Committee of Genesis’ board of directors.  We have determined that Mr. White is an independent director and we believe that this appointment satisfies the requirement of Section 803 (B) (2)(a) of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide that GEL’s Audit Committee consist of at least three independent directors.
