Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement
On October 17, 2013, LCP Oregon Holdings, LLC (“LCP Oregon”), which at the time was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lightfoot Capital Partners, LP and Lightfoot Capital Partners GP LLC (collectively, “Lightfoot”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the current owner of a petroleum products terminal located in Portland, Oregon (the “Portland Terminal Facility”), to acquire the Portland Terminal Facility for a purchase price of $40 million. We have entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement on January 14, 2014 to acquire LCP Oregon from Lightfoot, making it a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, for nominal consideration and reimbursement of approximately $1 million of amounts paid and expenses incurred by Lightfoot in connection with due diligence for the acquisition of the Portland Terminal Facility. We intend to fund the purchase of the Portland Terminal Facility through proceeds from our simultaneously announced equity offering.
Upon and subject to the closing of the acquisition of the Portland Terminal Facility by LCP Oregon, we intend for LCP Oregon to enter into a fifteen-year triple net operating lease agreement relating to the use of the Portland Terminal Facility, substantially in the form attached as an exhibit to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, with Arc Terminals Holdings LLC (“Arc Terminals”), an indirect wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Arc Logistics Partners LP (NYSE: ARCX) (“Arc Logistics”). Arc Logistics will guaranty the obligations of Arc Terminals under the Lease Agreement. Further, at such time LCP Oregon will also sell certain ancillary non-real property assets associated with the Portland Terminal Facility to Arc Terminals for a purchase price of $116,000.
The description of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement set forth in this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by the full Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
