CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE

PART I

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

WPT GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Registrant (the “General Partner”), will send or give to all participants in the Plan the document(s) containing information required by Part I of Form S-8, as specified in Rule 428(b)(1) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act. In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission, the Registrant has not filed such document(s) with the Commission, but such documents (along with the documents incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) pursuant to Item 3 of Part II hereof) shall constitute a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.

PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents:

Except to the extent that information is deemed furnished and not filed pursuant to securities laws and regulations, all documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered have been sold or that deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall also be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the dates of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not Applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 7.7(a) of the Registrant’s First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of August 14, 2013 (the “Partnership Agreement”), provides that the Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless the following persons (each, an “Indemnitee”), to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal and including appeals, in which any such person is involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party of otherwise, by reason of such person’s status with respect to the Registrant and acting (or refraining to act) in such capacity:

Provided, that no such Indemnitee will be indemnified and held harmless pursuant to the Partnership Agreement if there has been a final non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that such Indemnitee, in respect of the matter for which such Indemnitee is seeking indemnification under the Partnership Agreement, acted in bad faith or engaged in intentional fraud, willful misconduct, or with respect to any criminal matter, acted with knowledge that such Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful; provided further, that none of the General Partner’s affiliates (other than any Group Member (as defined in the Partnership Agreement)) will be entitled to indemnification for any such affiliate’s obligations under the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Partnership Agreement).

Any indemnification described above will be made only out of the Registrant’s assets. Unless the General Partner otherwise agrees, the General Partner will not be personally liable for such indemnification and will not have any obligation to contribute or loan funds or assets to the Registrant to enable the Registrant to effectuate such indemnification.

Section 7.7(b) of the Partnership Agreement states that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Registrant prior to a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the Registrant of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by Section 7.7 of the Partnership Agreement.

Section 7.7(d) the Partnership Agreement states that the Registrant may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the General Partner or its affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the General Partner, its affiliates and such other persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liabilities that may be asserted against, or expenses that may be incurred by, such person in connection with the Registrant’s activities or such person’s activities on behalf of the Registrant, regardless of whether the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under the Partnership Agreement. As of the date of the effectiveness of the Registrant’s S-1 Registration Statement, the General Partner maintains directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers.

Subject to the limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement, Section 17-108 of the Delaware Act empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other persons from and against all claims and demands whatsoever.

Under the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of the General Partner, in most circumstances, the General Partner will provide indemnification similar to that in the Partnership Agreement for each of the following: (i) World Point Terminals, Inc., as the initial member of the General Partner, and any person later admitted to the General Partner as a member; (ii) any person who is or was an affiliate of the General Partner (other than the Registrant and its subsidiaries); (iii) any person who is or was a member, partner, director, officer, fiduciary or trustee of the General Partner or its affiliates (other than the Registrant and its subsidiaries); (iv) any person who is or was serving at the request of the General Partner or its affiliates as an officer, director, member, manager, partner, fiduciary or trustee of another person; provided, however, that a person shall not be entitled to indemnification solely by reason of providing, on a fee-for-services basis, trustee, fiduciary or custodial services; and (v) any person designated by the board of directors of the General Partner.

In addition, under Section 6 of that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2013 and filed with the Commission as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-36049) filed with the Commission on August 13, 2013 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), the General Partner, the Registrant and certain of their affiliates have agreed to indemnify the underwriters that are parties thereto against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that may be required to be made in respect of these liabilities.

Item 7. Exemptions from Registration Claimed.

Not Applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
