Such party has voting power, power of disposition, and power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of such Covered Units.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such party, the performance by such party of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by such party of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by such party and no other actions or proceedings on the part of such party are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by such party of this Agreement, the performance by such party of its obligations hereunder or the consummation by such party of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such party and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Partnership, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) Except for the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, (i) no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority is necessary on the part of such party for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such party or the consummation by such party of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by such party nor the consummation by such party of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by such party with any of the provisions hereof shall (A) conflict with or violate, any provision of the Organizational Documents of such party, (B) result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on such property or asset of such party pursuant to, any contract to which such party is a party or by which such party or any property or asset of such party is bound or affected or (C) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such party or any of such party’s properties or assets except, in the case of clause (B) or (C), for breaches, violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the ability of such party to perform its obligations hereunder.

(d) As of the date of this Agreement, there is no action, suit, investigation, complaint or other proceeding pending against such party or, to the actual knowledge of such party, any other Person or, to the actual knowledge of such party, threatened against such party or any other Person that restricts or prohibits (or, if successful, would restrict or prohibit) the Partnership of their rights under this Agreement or the performance by any party of its obligations under this Agreement.

4

(e) Such party understands and acknowledges that the Partnership is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such party’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the representations and warranties of such party contained herein.

6. Certain Covenants of each Covered Unitholder. Each Covered Unitholder, severally (but not jointly) hereby covenants and agrees, in each case, only on its own behalf as follows, in each case except as otherwise approved in writing by Audit Committee:

(a) Prior to the Termination Date, and except as contemplated hereby, such party shall not (i) Transfer, or enter into any contract, option, agreement or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the Transfer of any of the Covered Units or beneficial ownership or voting power thereof or therein (including by operation of law), (ii) grant any proxies or powers of attorney, deposit any Covered Units into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any Covered Units or (iii) knowingly take any action that would make any representation or warranty of such party contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling such party from performing its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such party may Transfer any or all of the Covered Units, in accordance with applicable Law, to each other or any Affiliate of the General Partner; provided that prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of such Transfer, each Person to whom any of such Covered Units or any interest in any of such Covered Units is or may be Transferred shall have executed and delivered to the Partnership a counterpart of this Agreement pursuant to which such Person shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement as if such Person were a party with the obligations of a Covered Unitholder. Any Transfer in violation of this provision shall be void.

(b) Prior to the Termination Date, in the event that such party becomes the Record Holder or acquires beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Common Units or other voting interests with respect to the Partnership, such Covered Unitholder shall promptly notify the Partnership of such Common Units or voting interests, such Common Units or voting interests shall, without further action of the parties, be deemed Covered Units and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and the number of Common Units held by such party set forth on Schedule A hereto shall be deemed amended accordingly and such Common Units or voting interests shall automatically become subject to the terms of this Agreement.

7. Transfer Agent. Each Covered Unitholder hereby authorizes the Partnership or its counsel to notify the Partnership’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all Covered Units (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and Transfer of such Covered Units); provided, however, the Partnership or its counsel shall further notify the Partnership’s transfer agent to lift and vacate the stop transfer order with respect to the Covered Units on the Termination Date.

8. Unitholder Capacity. This Agreement is being entered into by each Covered Unitholder solely in its capacity as a holder of Common Units, and nothing in this Agreement

9. Disclosure. Each Covered Unitholder hereby authorizes the Partnership to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the SEC and in the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 such party’s identity and ownership of the Covered Units and the nature of such party’s obligations under this Agreement.

10. Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of each Covered Unitholder contained herein shall not survive the Termination Date or the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement.

12. Waiver. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by such party.
