Agreement&#148;) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Mizuho Securities USA Inc. and RBS Securities Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the &#147;Underwriters&#148;), relating to the public offering by NuStar Logistics
of $250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2022 (the &#147;Notes&#148;). The Notes are being guaranteed (such guarantees together with the Notes, the &#147;Securities&#148;) on a full and unconditional basis by NuStar
Energy and NuPOP. The Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No.&nbsp;333-166797), as supplemented by the Prospectus
Supplement dated January&nbsp;30, 2012 relating to the Securities, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act (together with the accompanying prospectus dated May&nbsp;13, 2010, the

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Notes are subject to the approval of legal matters by
counsel and other customary conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to purchase all the Notes if they purchase any of the Notes. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the NuStar Parties and
customary conditions to closing. Additionally, the NuStar Parties have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to
make because of these liabilities. The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference. The Underwriting Agreement contains certain representations, warranties and other provisions that were made or agreed to, among other things, to provide the parties thereto with specified rights and obligations and to allocate risk among

damages that such Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;11(f)
of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters&#146; obligations to contribute as provided in this Section&nbsp;7(d) are several in proportion to
