On January 31, 2011, Martin Midstream GP LLC, the general partner (the “General Partner”) of Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) approved and executed Amendment No. 2 to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership. This amendment revised the definition of “Conflicts Committee” to provide that each director on the Conflicts Committee must meet the independence standards required to serve on an audit committee of a board of directors as set forth by the national securities exchange on which the Partnership’s common units are listed; provided, however, that a director with a family member who is a partner with a foreign affiliate in the international cooperative of the Partnership’s registered independent public accounting firm shall be deemed to meet such independence standards if such director meets all other independence standards of the national securities exchange and the Board of the Directors of the General Partner affirmatively determines that such family relationship will not impair such director’s independent judgment as a member of the Conflicts Committee.
