Section 2.01    Shelf Registration.

(a)    Shelf Registration. The Partnership shall (i) no later than 30 days after the Closing Date, prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act to permit the public resale of all of the Registrable Securities from time to time, including as permitted by Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in force) with respect to all of the Registrable Securities (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) and (ii) cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter but in no event later than the date that is 120 days after the Closing Date (such date, as may be delayed pursuant to Section 2.01(b), the “Effectiveness Deadline”). The Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) shall be a non-automatic registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act if the Partnership is eligible to use Form S-3 or Form S-1 under the Securities Act if the Partnership is not eligible to use Form S-3.

The end date of the Registration Rights Period (as defined below) shall be extended by the number of days after the Effectiveness Deadline the Shelf Registration Statement has not become or has ceased to be effective. The Shelf Registration Statement when declared effective (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) shall comply as to form with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(b)    Delay Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Partnership may, upon written notice to (a) all Holders, delay the filing and effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or (b) any Selling Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement, suspend such Selling Holder’s use of any prospectus which is a part of the Shelf Registration Statement (in which event the Selling Holder shall discontinue sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement but such Selling Holder may settle any contracted sales of Registrable Securities) if the Partnership (i) is pursuing an acquisition, merger, reorganization, disposition or other similar transaction and the Board of Directors of the Partnership GP determines in good faith that it is in the best interests of the Partnership not to disclose the existence of material facts surrounding any such transaction in the Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) has experienced some other material non-public event the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Partnership GP, it is in the best interest of the Partnership to not disclose; provided, however, that in no event shall (A) such filing and effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement be delayed under clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.01(b) for a period that exceeds 60 days or (B) such Selling Holders be suspended under clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.01(b) from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of 60 days in any 180-day period or 90 days in any 365-day period. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Partnership shall provide prompt written notice to the Holders, and shall promptly terminate any suspension of the filing or effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement and/or any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement. The Partnership will only exercise its suspension rights under this Section 2.01(b) if it exercises similar suspension rights with respect to any Parity Holders. If the Partnership exercises its suspension rights under this Section 2.01(b), then (x) during any such suspension period, the Partnership shall not engage in any transaction involving the offer, issuance, sale or purchase of Partnership equity securities (whether for the benefit of the Partnership or a third Person), except (A) transactions involving the issuance or purchase of Partnership equity securities as contemplated by Partnership employee benefit plans or employee or director arrangements and (B) the issuance of Partnership equity securities as acquisition consideration pursuant to any transaction set forth in clause (i) of this Section 2.01(b) and (y) the end date of the Registration Rights Period (as defined below) shall be extended by the number of days of such suspension period.

Section 2.02    Piggyback Rights.

(a)    Participation. If at any time during the period beginning on the date that the Effectiveness Period commences and ending four years after such date (as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or 2.01(b), the “Registration Rights Period”), the Partnership proposes to file (including as a result of the exercise of registration rights by a holder other than a Holder) (i) a shelf registration statement other than the Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) a prospectus supplement to an effective shelf registration statement, other than the Shelf Registration Statement, and Holders could be included without the filing of a post-effective amendment thereto (other than a post-effective amendment that is immediately effective), or (iii) a registration statement, other than a shelf registration statement, in the case of each of clause (i), (ii) or (iii), for the sale of Common Units in an Underwritten Offering for its own account and/or another Person, then as soon as practicable but not less than ten Business Days (or one Business Day in the case of an Overnight Underwritten Offering or similar “bought deal”) prior to the filing of (A) any preliminary prospectus supplement relating to such Underwritten Offering pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, (B) the prospectus supplement relating to such Underwritten Offering pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (if no preliminary prospectus supplement is used) or (C) such registration statement, as the case may be (an “Underwritten Offering Filing”), then the Partnership shall give written notice of such proposed Underwritten Offering (a “Piggyback Offering”) to the Partnership Unitholders and such notice shall offer the Holders the opportunity to include in such Underwritten Offering such number of Partnership Common Units (the “Included Registrable Securities”) as each such Holder may request in writing; provided, however, that if the Partnership has been advised by the Managing Underwriter in writing that the inclusion of Registrable Securities for sale for the benefit of the Selling Holders is likely to have a material adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Units in the Underwritten Offering, then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of Selling Holders shall be determined based on the provisions of Section 2.02(b). The notice required to be provided in this Section 2.02(a) to the Partnership Unitholders (the “Piggyback Notice”) shall be provided on a Business Day pursuant to Section 3.01. Promptly upon receipt of the Piggyback Notice, the Partnership Unitholders shall notify the other Holders (if any) of the opportunity to include in the Underwritten Offering such number of Partnership Common Units as each such Holder may request in writing. Each Holder shall then have five Business Days (or one Business Day in the case of an Overnight Underwritten Offering or similar “bought deal”) after the date on which the Partnership Unitholders received the Piggyback Notice to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering. If no request for inclusion from a Holder is received within such period, such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Underwritten Offering. If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to undertake an Underwritten Offering and prior to the closing thereof, the Board of Directors of the Partnership GP shall determine for any reason not to undertake or to delay such Underwritten Offering, the Partnership GP may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Selling Holders and, (x) in the case of a determination not to undertake such Underwritten Offering, shall be relieved of its obligation to sell any Included Registrable Securities in connection with such terminated Underwritten Offering, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay such Underwritten Offering, shall be permitted to delay offering any Included Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in the Underwritten Offering. Any Selling Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Selling Holder’s request for inclusion of such Selling Holder’s Registrable Securities in such offering by giving written notice to the Partnership of such withdrawal up to and including the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering.

(b)    Priority of Rights. In connection with an Underwritten Offering contemplated by Section 2.02(a), if the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters of any such Underwritten Offering advises the Partnership in writing that the total amount of Common Units that the Selling Holders and any other Persons intend to include in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such Underwritten Offering without being likely to have a material adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Units offered or the market for the Common Units, then the Common Units to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall include the number of Common Units that such Managing Underwriter or Underwriters advises the Partnership can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated (i) first, to the Partnership, and (ii) second, pro rata among all Selling Holders and holders of any other securities of the Partnership having rights of registration on parity with the Registrable Securities (including the rights under the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2011, and the rights of the Partnership GP and its Affiliates under Section 7.12 of the Partnership Agreement, “Parity Holders”) who have requested participation in such Underwritten Offering. The pro rata allocations for each such Selling Holder shall be the product of (A) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by all Selling Holders and securities proposed to be sold by all Parity Holders participating in the Underwritten Offering (for the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to the allocation to the Partnership pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence) multiplied by (B) the fraction derived by dividing (x) the number of the Partnership Common Units owned at such time by such Selling Holder by (y) the aggregate number of Common Units owned at such time by all Selling Holders and Parity Holders participating in the Underwritten Offering. Each participating Selling Holder and Parity Holder also shall have the opportunity to include in the Underwriting Offering its pro rata allocation of any Common Units other Selling Holders or Parity Holders do not elect to sell in such Underwritten Offering under this Section 2.02(b).

Section 2.03    Demand Offerings. The Holders may, on no more than one occasion during every 180 day period and no more than four total occasions, deliver a written notice to the Partnership (a “Demand Notice”) specifying that the sale of some or all of the Registrable Securities subject to the Shelf Registration Statement, not to be less than $25,000,000 offering amount of Registrable Securities, is intended to be conducted through an Underwritten Offering under the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Demand Offering”). If the Partnership is not eligible to use Form S-3, any Demand Offering shall be made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1. Any Demand Notice will specify (a) the Registrable Securities proposed to be offered, (b) the desired launch date for the Demand Offering and (c) the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities. Subject to Section 2.03(c), if a Demand Notice is received at any time when there are any Parity Holders, then the Partnership shall provide such Parity Holders notice of such Demand Offering within five Business Days (or one Business Day in the case of an Overnight Underwritten Offering) of receipt of the Demand Notice, and the Partnership shall include in such Demand Offering any securities held by any Parity Holder requested to be included by such Parity Holders within five Business Days (or one Business Day in the case of an Overnight Underwritten Offering) of receipt of such notice. No Demand Notice shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Section 2.03 if the Shelf Registration relating thereto (i) is not maintained effective at the time a Demand Notice is delivered or during the period of such Demand Offering, (ii) the Partnership exercises its delay rights pursuant to Section 2.01(b) during such period or (iii) the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration is subject to a stop order, injunction or similar order or requirement of the SEC during such period. In the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), such requesting Holder shall be entitled to an additional Demand Notice during the 180-day period referenced in this Section 2.03. In the event of a Demand Offering:

(a)    Efforts to Complete Demand Offering. Upon receiving a Demand Notice, the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare the applicable offering documents (including any prospectus supplement) and take such other applicable actions as are set forth in Section 2.05 in connection with such Demand Offering in order to permit the launch date for such Demand Offering to occur on the date set forth in the Demand Notice. The Selling Holders shall have the right to determine the actual launch date for the Demand Offering and the terms of the underwriting agreement as they relate to the Selling Holders, including the number of Common Units to be sold, the offering price and underwriting discount. The Selling Holders will also have the right to determine the underwriters (and their roles) in the offering; provided, that such underwriters are reasonably acceptable to the Partnership. The Partnership will enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters, which shall include, among other provisions, indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 2.09, and will take all reasonable actions as are requested by the Managing Underwriter in order to expedite or facilitate the registration and disposition of the Registrable Securities in the Demand Offering.

(b)    Priority of Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.03, if the Managing Underwriter of a proposed Demand Offering advises the Selling Holders in writing that the total amount of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such Demand Offering without being likely to have a material adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities offered or the market for the Registrable Securities, then the Registrable Securities to be included in such Demand Offering shall include the number of Registrable Securities that the Managing Underwriter advises the Selling Holders can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated (i) first, to the Selling Holders and the Parity Holders who have requested participation in such Demand Offering on a pro rata basis based upon the number of Registrable Securities or other registrable securities that each of them holds, and (ii) second, pro rata among any other holders of registration rights who have requested participation in such Demand Offering (subject to Section 2.03(c)). If the amount of Registrable Securities included by the Selling Holders is reduced pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence in one or more Demand Offerings, then the number of Demand Offerings that the Selling Unitholders are entitled to shall be increased by one Demand Offering for each such Demand Offering and, if such reduction occurs in the last year of the Registration Rights Period, the Registration Rights Period shall be extended one year. If any Selling Holder or Parity Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Selling Holder or Parity Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Partnership, the Selling Holders and the Managing Underwriter; provided, however, that such notice of withdrawal must be made at a time up to and including the time of pricing of such offering in order to be effective. No such withdrawal or abandonment shall affect the Partnership’s obligation to pay Registration Expenses.

(c)    One-Time Right. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Partnership Unitholders shall have the right to sell Registrable Securities in a Demand Offering and no other Parity Holder or any other Person shall have the right to exercise piggyback registration rights in connection therewith or otherwise participate in such Demand Offering: (i) on one occasion in an offering amount of up to $50,000,000 of Registrable Securities and (ii) if, based on the advice of counsel to the Partnership Unitholders, it is necessary to dispose of Partnership Common Units so that their or their Affiliates would not be an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, on the same occasion referenced in clause (i), or on one additional occasion, in an additional offering amount of up to $50,000,000.

Section 2.04    Underwriting. In the event of an Underwritten Offering, the Partnership’s management shall participate in a roadshow or similar marketing effort if gross proceeds from such Underwritten Offering are reasonably expected to exceed $100,000,000. No Selling Holder may participate in such Underwritten Offering unless such Selling Holder agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in such underwriting agreement and completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents reasonably and customarily required under the terms of such underwriting agreement. No Selling Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Partnership or the Underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Selling Holder and its ownership of the securities being registered on its behalf and its intended method of distribution and any other representations required by law.

Section 2.05    Registration Procedures. In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Partnership will, as soon as reasonably practicable:

(a)    prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to cause the Shelf Registration Statement or such other registration statement to be effective and to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective or such other registration statement effective as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered thereby; and if a prospectus supplement will be used in connection with the marketing of an Underwritten Offering from the Shelf Registration Statement and the Managing Underwriter at any time shall notify the Partnership Unitholders in writing that inclusion of detailed information to be used in such prospectus supplement is of material importance to the success of the Underwritten Offering of such Registrable Securities, the Partnership shall use include any such information as is reasonable in such a prospectus supplement;

(d)    promptly notify each Selling Holder and each underwriter of Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of (i) the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and, with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, when the same has become effective; and (ii) any written comments from the SEC with respect to any filing referred to in clause (i) and any written request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto;

Each Holder agrees to enter into a customary letter agreement with underwriters of any Underwritten Offering, or other underwritten offering of the Partnership’s securities (whether primary or secondary, and regardless of whether any Holders participate in such underwritten offering) providing such Holder will not effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities during the 60 calendar day period beginning on the date of a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the SEC with respect to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering or other underwritten offering; provided, that (a) no Holder shall be subject to such restrictions unless the Sole Member and the officers or the directors of the Partnership GP are subject to the same restrictions, (b) the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction generally imposed by the underwriters on the Partnership or the officers, directors or any other unitholder of the Partnership or the Partnership GP on whom a restriction is imposed and (c) the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.07 shall not apply to any Registrable Securities that are sold in connection with an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.08    Expenses.

(a)    Certain Definitions. “Registration Expenses” means all expenses incident to the Partnership’s performance under or compliance with this Agreement to effect the registration of Registrable Securities on the Shelf Registration Statement, an Underwritten Offering covered under this Agreement, and/or the disposition of such securities, including, without limitation, all registration, filing, securities exchange listing, qualification and other fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws, fees of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, fees of transfer agents and registrars, word processing, duplicating and printing expenses and the fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Partnership, including the expenses of any special audits or “comfort letters” required by or incident to such performance and compliance. “Registration Expenses” shall not include (A) the underwriting fees, discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, (B) fees of underwriters’ counsel allocable to the sale of the Registrable Securities, (C) transfer taxes allocable to the sale of Registrable Securities or (D) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holders.

(b)    Expenses. The Partnership will pay all Registration Expenses, including, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, whether or not any sale is made pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

Section 2.09    Indemnification.

(a)    By the Partnership. In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Partnership will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder thereunder, its Affiliates and their respective directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and its directors and officers (collectively, the “Selling Holder Indemnified Persons”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and experts’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder or controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the 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, and will reimburse each such Selling Holder Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss or actions or proceedings; 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 strict conformity with information furnished by such Selling Holder Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in the Shelf Registration Statement or such other registration statement or any prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereof. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Selling Holder or any such Affiliate, director, officer or controlling Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder.

(b)    By Each Selling Holder. Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, its directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls the Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act against any Losses to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement or any prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereof relating to the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Holder shall not be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Selling Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification.

(c)    Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but such indemnified party’s failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 2.09. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 2.09 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of one such separate counsel (plus reasonably required local counsel) and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no indemnifying party shall settle any action brought against an indemnified party with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the indemnified party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete and unconditional release from all liability of, the indemnified party.

(d)    Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.09 is held by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to the Partnership or any Selling Holder or is insufficient to hold it harmless in respect of any Losses, then each such indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses as between the Partnership, on the one hand, and such Selling Holder, on the other hand, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Partnership, on the one hand, and of such Selling Holder, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall such Selling Holder be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the dollar amount of proceeds received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. The relative fault of the Partnership, on the one hand, and each Selling Holder, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any Loss that is the subject of this paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)    Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.09 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise.

Section 2.10    Rule 144 Reporting; Legend Removal.

(a)    Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Partnership agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(i)    make and keep public information regarding the Partnership available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times from and after the Closing Date;

(ii)    file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Partnership under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times from and after the Closing Date;

(iii)    so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Partnership, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without registration; and

(iv)    take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144.

(b)    Legend Removal. Upon the request of a Holder of a certificate representing Partnership Common Units bearing a restrictive legend referring to the federal securities laws, the Partnership shall cause the transfer agent for the Partnership Common Units to remove the such restrictive legend from such certificate and from any certificate to be issued to the applicable transferee if such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act. Prior to such removal, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering an applicable proposed transfer of such Partnership Common Units, the Partnership may require, as a condition of such removal, that the Holder provide, to the Partnership and the transfer agent for the Partnership Common Units (i) an opinion of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership to the effect that removal of such restrictive legend is appropriate under Rule 144, and/or (ii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Partnership that such legend removal is appropriate. Further, upon the expiration of the 180-day lock-up period described in Section 2.01 of each of the Transaction Agreements, upon the request of a Holder of a certificate representing Partnership Common Units bearing a restrictive legend reflecting the transfer restrictions under Section 2.01 of each of the Transaction Agreements, the Partnership shall cause the transfer agent for the Partnership Common Units to remove such restrictive legend.

Section 2.11    Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The Registrable Securities and the rights to cause the Partnership to include Registrable Securities in a Shelf Registration Statement, to exercise Piggyback Offering rights pursuant to Section 2.02 or to exercise Demand Offering rights pursuant to Section 2.03, may be transferred or assigned by the Partnership Unitholders (i) in whole or in part to any wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Rentech, Inc. (provided that such subsidiary remains a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Rentech, Inc.) or (ii) in whole or in part to any fund managed by or affiliated with GSO Capital Partners LP (each, a “Permitted Assignee”); provided that (a) the Partnership is given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each such Permitted Assignee and identifying the securities that are being transferred or assigned, and (b) each such Permitted Assignee executes (i) a joinder to this Agreement under which it becomes a “Holder” under this Agreement and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Holders and (ii) an Additional Transaction Agreement.

Section 2.12    Information by Holder. Any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration statement shall promptly furnish to the Partnership such information regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Partnership may reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to herein.

Section 2.13    Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Partnership shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders, enter into any agreement with any current or future holder of any securities of the Partnership that would allow such current or future holder to require the Partnership to include securities (a) in any Piggyback Offering on a basis that is superior to the rights granted to the Holders pursuant to Section 2 or (b) in any Demand Offering. The Partnership hereby represents and warrants to the Partnership Unitholders that Schedule A hereto sets forth a correct and complete list of all other registration rights granted by the Partnership to other holders of its securities as of the date of this Agreement.

Section 2.14    Participation in Block Trades.

(a)    During the Registration Rights Period, the Holders, on the one hand, and the Sole Member, on the other hand, shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate participation in any Block Trades proposed to be, or actually, made.

(b)    During the Registration Rights Period, prior to making any Block Trade, the Holder or the Sole Member proposing to make a Block Trade (the “Initiating Party”) shall provide the Holders or the Sole Member, as applicable (the “Notified Party” or the “Notified Parties”), with a written notice (a “Block Trade Notice”) regarding such Initiating Party’s intention to commence selling Common Units in a Block Trade. Each Block Trade Notice shall specify (i) the number of Common Units proposed to be sold by the Initiating Party, (ii) the time at which the Initiating Party intends to commence selling Common Units (the “Time of First Sale”), which shall be not less than four (4) Business Days following receipt by each Notified Party of such Block Trade Notice, and (iii) any other material terms and conditions of the Block Trade. Each Notified Party shall have a period of three (3) Business Days following the receipt of the Block Trade Notice within which to elect to participate in the Block Trade and to specify the amount of Common Units that it desires to sell in such Block Trade. A Notified Party that elects to participate in such Block Trade may also specify a minimum number of Common Units that such Notified Party desires to sell in such Block Trade in the event such Block Trade is reduced pursuant to Section 2.14(c), it being understood that if such minimum number of Common Units is at any time greater than such Notified Party’s pro rata allocation (as determined in Section 2.14(c)), such Notified Party’s allocation shall be reduced to zero.

(c)    During the Registration Rights Period, with respect to any Block Trade, the Initiating Party shall have discretion whether to (i) increase the size of the proposed Block Trade to include all Common Units requested to be included by the Notified Parties, (ii) increase the size of the proposed Block Trade to include a portion of the Common Units requested to be included by the Notified Parties, or (iii) to keep the number of Common Units proposed to be sold in the Block Trade Notice. Subject to Section 2.03(c), in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the number of Common Units to be included in such Block Trade by the Initiating Party and any Notified Parties that elect to include Common Units in such Block Trade shall be allocated equally among such Persons that have elected to participate in the Block Trade; provided that any Common Units thereby allocated to a Person participating in the Block Trade that exceed such Person’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining participating Persons in like manner.

Section 3.06    Specific Performance.
