• A pioneer of the hydrocarbon-by-rail concept, USD Group (“USDG”) has always focused on providing sustainable industry solutions • USDG has a proven history, having developed unit train-capable terminals with an aggregate capacity of over 725,000 bpd and safely and efficiently handled over 155 million barrels of biofuels and liquid hydrocarbons • Last September, Energy Capital Partners invested in USDG and indicated an intention to invest an additional $1+ billion to support USDG’s growth plans Proven Developer and Industry Innovator USDG monetized over $700 million of assets to high quality, third party MLPs before creating USD Partners LP in October 2014 Ethanol Terminals • Deer Park • Lomita • Dallas / Fort Worth • Linden • Baltimore Crude Oil Terminals • St. James • Niobrara • Eagle Ford • Van Hook • Bakersfield Crude Oil Terminal • Hardisty Ethanol Terminals • San Antonio • West Colton Note: All corporate logos are registered trademarks of the respective companies or their affiliates. 3


 
Rail enables a number of advantages for both producers and refiners Sustainable Advantages of Rail A Long-Term, Sustainable Energy Infrastructure Solution Cost Speed Market Optionality Quality Preservation • Less upfront investment and maintenance capital required • Reduced financial commitments – 5 – 15 years vs. 10 – 20 years for pipelines – Lower fixed costs / Reduced “no flow” risk • Increased ability to scale and expand capacity – Ability to offer tailored takeaway options • Shorter development time – ~1 year vs. multiple years for pipeline • Faster deployment of infrastructure – Significant rail infrastructure already in-place – Fewer right-of-way, permitting and regulatory issues or constraints • Option to reach markets with best netbacks and margins on shorter notice – Ability to choose destination once train is loaded • Faster physical delivery of product – 9 days from W. Canada to the Gulf Coast vs. 30 – 45 days via pipeline • Low fixed cost takeaway alternative – Enables a portfolio approach to transportation • Reduced cost of feedstock – Access to domestic feedstock vs. higher priced imports • Loading heavier grades of crude oil reduces need for costly diluents – Fewer $ spent sourcing and transporting diluent – Bitumen volume uplift – Better value with fewer light ends • Consistent quality control vs. potential quality degradation in pipeline • Preserve ability to export – Avoid the need to co-mingle Canadian crude with U.S.-sourced diluent 4


 
Industry Dynamics • U.S. and Canadian crude oil production has increased significantly in recent years • Increased crude oil production will lead to logistics infrastructure opportunities across multiple products, including: – Refined petroleum products – Natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) – Frac sand – Biofuels • Infrastructure and logistics services opportunities will arise, including additional rail terminals, storage, blending, diluent recovery, trucking and gathering systems Compelling Industry Dynamics Crude Oil Flows to U.S. Refining Centers North America Rail Network North America Crude Oil Pipeline Network Source: Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, U.S. Energy Information Administration, Association of American Railroads 5


 
Developing Our Terminal Network • USDG believes there are substantial opportunities in the U.S. and Canada to develop a network of both origination and destination terminals for crude oil, refined products and NGLs • Current regional imbalances have created multiple unit train terminal opportunities, particularly given the potential to move a heavier grade of crude oil and continued delays for proposed new pipeline capacity Significant Rail-Related Energy Opportunities Source: Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, U.S. Energy Information Administration, Association of American Railroads Note: Heavy sour crude oil imports from Mexico and Venezuela per the EIA as of February 2015 (latest information available as of May 18, 2015).

Non-GAAP Measures We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest and other income, interest and other expense, unrealized gains and losses associated with derivative instruments, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, income taxes, non-cash expense related to our equity compensation program, discontinued operations, adjustments related to deferred revenue associated with minimum monthly commitment fees and other items which management does not believe reflect the underlying performance of our business. We define Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less net cash paid for interest, income taxes and maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable Cash Flow does not reflect changes in working capital balances. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP, supplemental financial measures used by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, to assess: • our operating performance as compared to those of other companies in the midstream sector, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure; • the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our partners; • our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and • the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow provides information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow information also enhances investor understanding of our business’ ability to generate cash for payment of distributions and other purposes. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are Net Income and Cash Flow from Operating Activities. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to Net Income, Cash Flow from Operating Activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect Net Income, and these measures may vary among other companies. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. 20
