Each Demand Request shall (x) specify the number of Registrable Securities that the Requesting Holders intend to sell or dispose of, (y) state the intended method or methods of sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities and (z) specify the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) acceptable to the Requesting Holders to be received for such Registrable Securities; provided that any Demand Request must relate to Registrable Securities having a fair market value equal to or greater than $5,000,000 based on the average closing price of the Common Units on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other exchange on which the Common Units may then be listed) for the five business days immediately prior to the Demand Request (the “Minimum Amount”). Following receipt of a Demand Request, the Partnership shall:

(i) cause to be filed, as soon as practicable, but within thirty (30) days of the date of delivery to the Partnership of the Demand Request, a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities which the Partnership has been so requested to register by the Requesting Holders and other Holders who request to the Partnership that their Registrable Securities be registered within ten (10) days of the mailing of the Request Notice, providing for the registration under the Securities Act of such Registrable Securities to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution specified in such Demand Request;

3

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter and no later than ninety (90) days after the filing of such Registration Statement; and refrain from filing any other Registration Statements, other than pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or similar or successor forms), with respect to any other securities of the Partnership until such date which is ninety (90) days following effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed in response to the Demand Request.

(b) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall not be deemed to have been effected unless (i) a Registration Statement with respect thereto has become effective and remained effective in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or (ii) such Registration Statement has been effective for 180 days; provided that if, after it has become effective, such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court, such period shall be extended for any period during which the Registration Statement was not in effect.

(c) Limitation on Demand Registrations. The Partnership shall only be obligated to effect three (3) Demand Requests pursuant to this Section 2.1; provided that the Partnership shall only be obligated to effect one (1) Demand Request pursuant to this Section 2.1 in the first twelve-month period beginning on the date of this Agreement.

Such cancellation of a registration shall not be counted as one of three (3) Demand Requests and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Partnership shall be responsible for the expenses of the Participating Holders incurred in connection with the registration prior to the time of cancellation. Upon receipt of notice of any such cancellation, the Partnership shall revise, abandon or withdraw such Registration Statement, as applicable.

Section 2.2 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS.

(a) Right to Include Registrable Securities. Each time that the Partnership proposes for any reason to register any of its equity interests under the Securities Act, either for its own account or otherwise, other than a rights offering or pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or similar or successor forms) (a “Proposed Registration”), the Partnership shall promptly give written notice of such Proposed Registration to all of the Holders (which

4

notice shall be given not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expected filing date of the Partnership’s Registration Statement) and shall offer such Holders the right to request inclusion of any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Proposed Registration. No registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall relieve the Partnership of its obligation to register Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Request, as contemplated by Section 2.1 hereof. The rights to piggyback registration may be exercised on an unlimited number of occasions.

(b) Piggyback Procedure. Each Holder shall have ten (10) days from the date of receipt of the Partnership’s notice referred to in Section 2.2(a) above to deliver to the Partnership a written request specifying the number of Registrable Securities such Holder intends to sell and such Holder’s intended method of disposition. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Holder’s request for inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.2 by giving written notice to the Partnership of such withdrawal; provided, however, that the Partnership may ignore a notice of withdrawal made within twenty-four (24) hours of the time the Registration Statement is to become effective. Subject to Section 2.5(c) below, the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities so requested to be included therein; provided, however, that the Partnership may at any time withdraw or cease proceeding with any such Proposed Registration if it shall at the same time withdraw or cease proceeding with the registration of all other Registrable Securities originally proposed to be registered (including if Requesting Holders cancel such Proposed Registration pursuant to Section 2.1(d) hereof).

(c) Underwritten Offering. In the event that the Proposed Registration by the Partnership is, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of securities of the Partnership, any request under this Section 2.2 shall specify that the Registrable Securities be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities, if any, otherwise being sold through underwriters under such registration.

Section 2.3 SHELF REGISTRATION.

(a) At any time that the Partnership is eligible to file a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 415(a)(1)(i) under the Securities Act or any similar rule that may be adopted by the SEC on Form S-1, Form S-3 or any other available form (a “Shelf Registration Statement”), any one or more of the Holders shall have the right to request in writing (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be registered, the transaction to be registered and, to the extent applicable, the intended methods of disposition thereof) that the Partnership register any or all of such Holders’ Registrable Securities, in an amount not to be less than the Minimum Amount, by filing with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement, including if the Partnership is at any time a WKSI, an automatic shelf registration statement, covering such Registrable Securities (a “Shelf Request”). Within ten (10) days of the Partnership’s receipt of a Shelf Request, the Partnership shall give written notice to each Holder informing such Holder of the Partnership’s intent to file such Shelf Registration Statement and of such Holder’s right to request the registration of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder. The Partnership shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.3(a), include in such registration all Registrable Securities of each Holder with respect to which the Partnership receives a written request for inclusion therein together with all duly completed and executed questionnaires and other

5

documents reasonably requested by the Partnership and necessary to enable it to include such Holder as a selling unitholder) within five (5) business days after the notice contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence is given to the Holders. A Shelf Request shall count as a Demand Request (including, without limitation, with respect to the requirements of Section 2.1(a)(i) and (ii)).

(b) The Holders may at any time and from time to time request in writing (a “Shelf Takedown Notice”) (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by Holders and the intended method of distribution thereof) to sell pursuant to a prospectus supplement (a “Shelf Takedown Prospectus Supplement”) Registrable Securities of such Holders available for sale pursuant to an effective Shelf Registration Statement. The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, not later than the second (2^nd) business day after the receipt of the Shelf Takedown Notice cause to be filed the Shelf Takedown Prospectus Supplement, unless such sale involves an underwritten offering, which is the subject of Section 2.3(c) below. A request for a Shelf Takedown Prospectus Supplement may be withdrawn by the initiating Holder prior to the filing thereof pursuant to Section 2.1(d) hereof. A Shelf Takedown Notice shall not count as a Demand Request.

(c) If a sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.3 involves an underwritten offering and the applicable securities are to be distributed on a firm commitment basis by or through one or more underwriters of recognized standing under underwriting terms appropriate for such transaction, then, within three (3) business days of the Partnership’s receipt of a Shelf Takedown Notice pursuant to Section 2.3(b), the Partnership shall give written notice to each Holder who has elected to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement informing such Holder of the Partnership’s intent to file such Shelf Takedown Prospectus Supplement and of such Holder’s right to request the addition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities to such Shelf Takedown Prospectus Supplement. The Partnership shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(b) and this Section 2.3(c), include in such Shelf Takedown Prospectus Supplement all Registrable Securities of each such Holder with respect to which the Partnership receives a written request for inclusion therein within three (3) business days after the notice contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence is given to the Holders.

Section 2.4 SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS. In the event that the Partnership is required to file a Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities and the proposed public offering is to be an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall be one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks selected by Participating Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering and reasonably acceptable to the Partnership, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that the managing underwriter for any registration initiated by the Partnership for its own account shall be a reputable national recognized investment bank selected by the Partnership in its sole discretion.

Section 2.5 PRIORITY FOR REGISTRATION.

(a) General. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to Section 2.5(b), Section 2.5(c) and Section 2.5(d) below, if the managing underwriter of an underwritten public offering determines in good faith and advises the Participating Holders

6

and the Partnership in writing that the inclusion of all Registrable Securities proposed to be included by the Partnership and any other Holders in the underwritten public offering would materially and adversely interfere with the successful marketing of the Registrable Securities of Requesting Holders or Holders that provided a Shelf Takedown Notice at the desired offering price, then the Partnership will be obligated to include in such Registration Statement, as to each Holder, only a portion of the Registrable Securities such Holder has requested be registered equal to the ratio which such Holder’s requested Registrable Securities bears to the total number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by all Holders who have requested that their Registrable Securities be included in such Registration Statement.

(b) Demand or Shelf Takedown. It is acknowledged by the parties hereto that pursuant to Section 2.5(a) above, the securities to be included in a registration requested by the Requesting Holders pursuant to Section 2.1 or in a Shelf Takedown Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be allocated: (i) first, to the Requesting Holders or Holders who have provided a Shelf Takedown Notice; (ii) second, to any other Holders (other than those in clause (i)); (iii) third, to investors that have registration rights pursuant to the Partnership Agreement; (iv) fourth, to the Partnership; and (iv) fifth, to any other holders of equity interests of the Partnership requesting registration of securities of the Partnership; provided that in the case of a demand by any Holder(s) with respect to which one or more other Holders has exercised its piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, any such Holder may convert its piggyback election to a Demand Request, such that such Holder will be included in subclause (i) above in the event of any cutback pursuant to this Section 2.5.

(c) Piggyback. It is acknowledged by the parties hereto that pursuant to Section 2.5(a) above, the securities to be included in a registration initiated by the Partnership, including with respect to a Shelf Takedown Prospectus Supplement, shall be allocated: (i) first, to the Partnership; (ii) second, to the Holders; (iii) third, to investors that have registration rights pursuant to the Partnership Agreement; and (iv) fourth, to any others requesting registration of securities of the Partnership.

(d) Other registrations. It is acknowledged by the parties hereto that pursuant to Section 2.5(a) above, the securities to be included in a registration initiated by holders of equity securities other than the Partnership or the Holders shall be allocated: (i) first, to such initiating holders; (ii) second, to the Holders; (iii) third, to investors that have registration rights pursuant to the Partnership Agreement; and (iv) fourth, to the Partnership.

Section 2.6 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

(a) Obligations of the Partnership. Whenever registration of Registrable Securities is required pursuant to this Agreement, the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof as promptly as possible, and in connection with any such request, the Partnership shall, as expeditiously as possible:

(i) Preparation of Registration Statement; Effectiveness. Prepare and file with the SEC (in any event not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of a Demand Request or a Shelf Request, as applicable, to file a Registration Statement with respect to Registrable

7

Securities), a Registration Statement on any form on which the Partnership then qualifies, which counsel for the Partnership shall deem appropriate and pursuant to which such offering may be made in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof for a Demand Request and on Form S-1, Form S-3 or any other available form for a Shelf Request (except that the Registration Statement shall contain such information as may reasonably be requested for marketing or other purposes by the managing underwriter), and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any registration required hereunder to become effective as soon as practicable after the initial filing thereof (and within ninety (90) days of such filing) and remain effective for a period of not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days (or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Registration Statement); provided, however, that, in the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, such one hundred and eighty (180) day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the Registration Statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold, provided that Rule 415, or any successor rule under the Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership may (A) with respect to a Demand Request, defer the filing of a Registration Statement for a period of not more than 75 days (but not more than once in any six-month period); provided that such deferral shall be the shortest possible period of time determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of CNX Coal Resources GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the general partner of the Partnership or (B) suspend the use of a prospectus under a Registration Statement on a Shelf Registration Statement for a period not to exceed 75 days in succession or 120 days in the aggregate in any twelve-month period, in each case if the Board of Directors of the General Partner determines in good faith that because of bona fide business reasons (not including the avoidance of the Partnership’s obligations hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets, pending corporate developments and similar events, it is in the best interests of the Partnership to delay the filing of such Registration Statement or to suspend the use of such prospectus, and prior to delaying such filing or suspending such use, the Partnership provides the Participating Holders with written notice of such delay or suspension, which notice need not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such delay or suspension;

The Partnership agrees, notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, each of their directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents and general or limited partners (and the directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents thereof), their respective Affiliates and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) any of such Persons, and each underwriter and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) any underwriter (collectively, “Holder Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of investigation and fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, any amounts paid in settlement effected with the Partnership’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and any costs incurred in enforcing the Partnership’s indemnification obligations hereunder) or other

12

liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) to which any such Holder Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, any other federal law, any state or common law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) are resulting from or arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or any document incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing or resulting from or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading or (ii) any violation by the Partnership of the Securities Act, Exchange Act, any other federal law, any state or common law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder or otherwise incident to any registration, qualification or compliance and in any such case, the Partnership will promptly reimburse each such Holder Indemnified Party for any legal expenses and any other Losses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, action or investigation or proceeding (collectively, a “Claim”); provided, however, that the Partnership will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Holder Indemnified Party in writing specifically for use in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus, free writing prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable. Such indemnity obligation shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder Indemnified Parties and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by such Holder Indemnified Parties.

(b) Indemnification by Holders. In connection with any proposed registration in which a Holder is participating pursuant to this Agreement, each such Holder shall furnish to the Partnership in writing such information with respect to such Holder as the Partnership may reasonably request or as may be required by law for use in connection with any Registration Statement or prospectus or preliminary prospectus to be used in connection with such registration and each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, any underwriter retained by the Partnership and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, advisors and agents, their respective Affiliates and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) any of such Persons to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to the Holder Indemnified Parties as set forth in Section 2.8(a) (subject to the exceptions set forth in the foregoing indemnity, the proviso to this sentence and applicable law), but only with respect to any such information furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 2.8(b) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in the offering giving rise to such liability. Such indemnity obligation shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder Indemnified Parties (except as provided above) and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by such Holder.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any

13

written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that, the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder unless and to the extent such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including, but not limited to, any impleaded parties) reasonably believe that the representation of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct. In the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (B) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. The rights afforded to any Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that such Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.8 from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party’s and Indemnified Party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 2.8(d) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in the offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this

14

Section 2.8, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8(d).

Section 2.9 RULE 144; OTHER EXEMPTIONS. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and other rules and regulations of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Partnership to the public without registration, the Partnership covenants that it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and (ii) take such further action as each Holder may reasonably request (including, but not limited to, providing any information necessary to comply with Rule 144, if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act), at all times from and after the date hereof, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (x) Rule 144 (if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities) under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time or (y) any other rules or regulations now existing or hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Partnership shall deliver to the Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Section 2.10 CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON REGISTRATION RIGHTS. No Holder may participate in an underwritten public offering under a Registration Statement hereunder unless such Holder completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, and agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting agreement approved by the Holder or Holders entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; provided, however, that no such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Partnership or the underwriters in connection with any such registration other than representations and warranties as to (i) such Holder’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold or transferred, (ii) such Holder’s power and authority to effect such transfer and (iii) such matters pertaining to compliance with applicable securities laws as may be reasonably requested; provided, further, that in no event shall any Holder be required to sign any agreement requested by an underwriter obligating such Holder not to effect any public sale or distribution of Common Units (i) for a period longer than ninety (90) days from the closing of an underwritten public offering or (ii) for more than one period of ninety (90) or fewer days from the closing of an underwritten public offering in any twelve-month period. Such Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold by such underwriters may, at their option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of the Partnership to and for the benefit of such underwriters, shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the underwriters under the underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of the Holders.

15

Section 2.11 LIMITATIONS ON SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Partnership represents and warrants that it has not granted registration rights on or prior to the date hereof (other than pursuant to this Agreement and Section 7.12 of the Partnership Agreement) and agrees that from and after the date hereof, it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement (or amendment or waiver of the provisions of any agreement) with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Partnership that would grant such holder registration rights that are more favorable, pari passu or senior to those granted to the Investor Parties hereunder, as reasonably determined by the Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding or an independent third party; provided that the Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding have agreed to such independent third party. The Partnership agrees that any holder or prospective holder granted registration rights in any such agreement shall be required to be subject to reasonable lock-up provisions if requested by the Partnership or underwriters.

Section 2.12 TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights of a Holder hereunder may be transferred or assigned in connection with a transfer of Registrable Securities to (i) any Affiliate of a Holder, (ii) any subsidiary, parent, partner, retired partner, limited partner, shareholder or member of a Holder, (iii) any family member or trust for the benefit of any Holder or (iv) any transferee who, after such transfer, holds Registrable Securities having an aggregate value not less than the Minimum Amount (as adjusted for any stock or unit dividends, stock or unit splits, combinations and reorganizations and similar events). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such rights may only be transferred or assigned provided that all of the following additional conditions are satisfied: (a) such transfer or assignment is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement; and (c) the Partnership is given written notice by such Holder of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned.

Section 3.4 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE; REMEDIES. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged irreparably if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the parties will be entitled to an injunction, injunctions or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and its provisions in any action or proceeding instituted in any state or federal court sitting in New York City, New York having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.

Except as expressly provided herein, nothing herein will be considered an election of remedies.

Section 3.5 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) Submission to Jurisdiction. Any action, suit or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall only be brought in any state or federal court sitting in New York City, New York, and each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such action, suit or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such, action, suit or proceeding in any such court or that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such action, suit or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, service of process on such party as provided in Section 3.5 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

17

(b) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE SUCH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL OF ANY DISPUTE BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATING HERETO OR ANY DEALINGS AMONG THEM RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS ANY AND ALL ACTIONS, SUITS AND PROCEEDINGS THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND REPRESENTATIONS IN THIS SECTION 3.5(b).

Section 3.6 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law principles.

Section 3.7 HEADINGS. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 3.8 AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may not be amended or modified without the written consent of the Partnership and the Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided, however, that any amendment or modification that adversely affects the rights of one or more Holders of Registrable Securities under this Agreement, in their capacity as such, in a manner that is materially different from the manner in which such amendment or modification affects the rights of other Holders of Registrable Securities under this Agreement, in their capacity as such, shall require the consent of each such adversely affected Holder.

Section 3.9 EXTENSIONS; WAIVERS. Any party may, for itself only, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. Neither the

18

failure nor any delay on the part of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right or remedy.

Section 3.10 SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party or to any circumstance, is judicially determined not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties agree that the court judicially making such determination may modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its modified form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

Section 3.11 COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. For purposes of determining whether a party has signed this Agreement or any document contemplated hereby or any amendment or waiver hereof, only a handwritten original signature on a paper document or a “pdf” or facsimile copy of such a handwritten original signature shall constitute a signature, notwithstanding any law relating to or enabling the creation, execution or delivery of any contract or signature by electronic means.

Section 3.12 CONSTRUCTION. This Agreement has been freely and fairly negotiated among the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any law will be deemed to refer to such law as in effect on the date hereof and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party has breached any covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first covenant. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

Section 3.13 ATTORNEYS’ FEES. If any dispute among any parties arises in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party in the resolution of such dispute in any action or proceeding will be entitled to an order awarding full recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs and expenses (including experts’ fees and expenses and the costs of enforcing this Section 3.13) incurred in connection therewith, including court costs, from the non-prevailing party.

19

Section 3.14 ADJUSTMENTS FOR STOCK OR UNIT SPLITS, ETC. Wherever in this Agreement there is a reference to a specific number of units of the Partnership’s capital stock of any class or series, then, upon the occurrence of any subdivision, combination or stock or unit dividend of such class or series of stock or unit, the specific number of units so referenced in this Agreement will automatically be proportionally adjusted to reflect the effect of such subdivision, combination or stock or unit dividend on the outstanding units of such class or series of stock or units.

Section 3.15 PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that Section 7.12 of the Partnership Agreement is amended such that any of the rights, terms and conditions of the Investor Parties set forth in this Agreement are materially less favorable to the Investor Parties, as determined by the Investor Parties in their reasonable discretion, than the relevant rights, terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.12 of Partnership Agreement, as such section is amended, then the relevant provisions of Section 7.12 of the Partnership Agreement, as such section is amended, shall be applicable in lieu of the provisions that the Investor Parties have determined in their reasonable discretion are materially less favorable to the Investor Parties.
