(a) Each of the Enterprise Parties, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of any Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which that Underwriter, director, officer, employee or contesting person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in: (A) the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or (B) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto; or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Enterprise Parties will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Enterprise Parties by the Underwriters through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein, which information consists solely of the information specified in Section 8(b). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Enterprise Parties may otherwise have.

          (b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Enterprise Party, the directors of the General Partner and OLPGP, the respective officers of the General Partner and OLPGP who signed the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Enterprise Parties within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to the Underwriters, but only with reference to written information relating to the Underwriters furnished to the Partnership by the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have. The Enterprise Parties acknowledge that

the statements set forth in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the LoTS^SM and (ii) under the heading “Underwriting,” (A) the list of names of each of the Underwriters and (B) the statements in the fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth paragraphs regarding discounts, short sales, stabilization and penalty bids constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses or in any amendment or supplement thereto.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantive rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

          (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Enterprise Parties and the Underwriters agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or

defending same) (collectively, the “Losses”) to which the Enterprise Parties and the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Enterprise Parties on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the LoTS^SM; provided, however, that in no case shall (i) the Underwriters be responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the LoTS^SM underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriters have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Enterprise Parties and the Underwriters shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Enterprise Parties on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Enterprise Parties shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Enterprise Parties on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Enterprise Parties and each of the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), 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 was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of any Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriters, and each person who controls the Enterprise Parties within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the General Partner and OLPGP who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the General Partner and OLPGP shall have the same rights to contribution as the Enterprise Parties, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

          9. No Fiduciary Duty. The Enterprise Parties hereby acknowledge that each Underwriter is acting solely as an underwriter in connection with the purchase and sale of the LoTS^SM. The Enterprise Parties further acknowledge that each Underwriter is acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s-length basis and in no event do the parties intend that each Underwriter acts or be responsible as a fiduciary to any of the Partnership Entities, their management, unitholders, creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that each Underwriter may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of the LoTS^SM, either before or after the date hereof. Each Underwriter hereby expressly disclaims any fiduciary or similar obligations to any of the Partnership Entities, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the Partnership hereby confirms its understanding and agreement to that effect. The Enterprise Parties and the Underwriters agree

that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views expressed by the Underwriters to any of the Partnership Entities regarding such transactions, including but not limited to any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the LoTS^SM, do not constitute advice or recommendations to any of the Partnership Entities. The Enterprise Parties hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that they may have against each Underwriter with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty to any of the Enterprise Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.

     10. Defaulting Underwriters. If, on the Delivery Date, any Underwriter defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase the LoTS^SM that the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase on the Delivery Date in the respective proportions which the number of LoTS^SM set forth opposite the name of each remaining non-defaulting Underwriter in Schedule I hereto bears to the total number of LoTS^SM set forth opposite the names of all the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule I hereto; provided, however, that the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase any of the LoTS^SM on the Delivery Date if the total number of LoTS^SM that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 9% of the total number of LoTS^SM to be purchased on the Delivery Date, and any remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the number of LoTS^SM that it agreed to purchase on the Delivery Date pursuant to the terms of Section 2. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters, or those other underwriters satisfactory to the Representatives who so agree, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, all the LoTS^SM to be purchased on the Delivery Date. If the remaining Underwriters or other underwriters satisfactory to the Representatives do not elect to purchase the LoTS^SM that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on the Delivery Date, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriters or the Enterprise Parties, except that the Enterprise Parties will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Sections 6 and 12. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule I hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases LoTS^SM that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

     Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Enterprise Parties for damages caused by its default. If other Underwriters are obligated or agree to purchase the LoTS^SM of a defaulting or withdrawing Underwriter, either the Representatives or the Enterprise Parties may postpone the Delivery Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Enterprise Parties or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement.

     11. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to and received by the Operating Partnership prior to delivery of and payment for the LoTS^SM if, prior to that time, any of the events described

in Section 7(o) shall have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the LoTS^SM for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

     12. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the LoTS^SM provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 7 hereof is not satisfied (other than Section 7(o)) or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of any Enterprise Party to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by the Underwriters, the Enterprise Parties will reimburse the Underwriters, severally through the Representatives, on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the LoTS^SM. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof by reason of the default of one or more of the Underwriters, the Enterprise Parties shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of such Underwriter’s expenses, and (ii) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11 hereof, the Enterprise Parties shall not be obligated to reimburse the Underwriters in respect of those expenses.

     13. Research Analyst Independence. Each of the Enterprise Parties acknowledges that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to each of the Enterprise Parties and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. Each of the Enterprise Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Enterprise Parties may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Partnership by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. Each of the Enterprise Parties acknowledges that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     14. Notices. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:

     16. Survival. The respective indemnities, representations, warranties and agreements of the Enterprise Parties and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf on them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, shall survive the delivery of and payment for the LoTS^SM and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any of them or any person controlling any of them. The Underwriters acknowledge and agree that the obligations of the Enterprise Parties hereunder are non-recourse to the General Partner.

     17. Definition of the Terms “Business Day” and “Subsidiary”. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) “business day” means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is open for trading and (b) “affiliate” and “subsidiary” have their respective meanings set forth in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations.

     18. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

EXHIBIT B

FORM OF BRACEWELL & GIULIANI LLP’S OPINION

     1. Each of the General Partner, the Partnership, the Operating Partnership and OLPGP is validly existing in good standing as a limited liability company, limited partnership or corporation, as applicable, under the laws of the State of Delaware with all necessary limited liability company, limited partnership or corporate, as the case may be, power and authority to own or lease its properties and conduct its businesses and, in the case of the General Partner, to act as the general partner of the Partnership and, in the case of OLPGP, to act as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, in each case in all material respects as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Each of the General Partner, the Partnership, the Operating Partnership and OLPGP is duly registered or qualified as a foreign limited liability company, limited partnership or corporation, as the case may be, for the transaction of business and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas.

     2. There are no preemptive rights under U.S. federal law or under the Delaware LP Act to subscribe for or purchase the LoTS^SM. There are no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase the LoTS^SM included in the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement. To such counsel’s knowledge, neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the LoTS^SM as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement gives rise to any rights for the registration of any securities of the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries, other than as have been waived, effectively complied with or satisfied.

     3. To such counsel’s knowledge and other than as set forth in the Prospectus, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries is the subject that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected by such counsel to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and, to such counsel’s knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened.

     4. The Partnership and the Operating Partnership have all requisite partnership power and authority to issue, sell and deliver the Securities in accordance with and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Partnership Agreement, the Operating Partnership Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Statement and Prospectus.

     5. The LoTS^SM have been duly authorized and executed by the Operating Partnership and, when authenticated by the Trustee and issued and delivered in the manner provided in the Indenture against payment of the consideration therefor, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Operating Partnership, enforceable against the Operating Partnership in accordance with their terms, and will be entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture.

     6. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Partnership and the Operating Partnership and has been duly qualified under the Trust

Indenture Act and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of each of the Partnership and the Operating Partnership, enforceable against each of the Partnership and the Operating Partnership in accordance with its terms.

     7. The Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Partnership and when the LoTS^SM (including the notations of the Guarantee thereon) are executed and authenticated in accordance with the Indenture against payment of the consideration therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Guarantee endorsed by the notations on the LoTS^SM will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and will constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Partnership.

     8. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Enterprise Parties.

     9. The authorization, execution and delivery of the LoTS^SM, the Indenture, and the Underwriting Agreement by the Enterprise Parties do not, and the issuance of the LoTS^SM by the Operating Partnership in accordance with the Indenture and their sale to the Underwriters in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and the performance by the Enterprise Parties of their respective obligations under the LoTS^SM, the Indenture, the Guarantee and the Underwriting Agreement will not, (i) violate the certificate of limited partnership or agreement of limited partnership, certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement, certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws, as applicable, of the General Partner, the Partnership, the Operating Partnership or OLPGP, each as amended to the date hereof; or (ii) violate any applicable provisions of existing U.S. federal law, the laws of the State of Texas or the State of New York, the Delaware LP Act, the Delaware LLC Act or the DGCL (except, in the case of this clause (ii), where such violations would not, individually or in the aggregate, (a) have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business or results of operations of the Partnership Entities, taken as a whole, or (b) materially impair the ability of the Enterprise Parties to perform their respective obligations under the Underwriting Agreement).

     10. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any U.S. federal or Texas governmental authority or agency having jurisdiction over the Enterprise Parties or, to our knowledge, any U.S. federal or Texas court is required to be obtained or made and has not been obtained or made by the Enterprise Parties for (i) the issue and sale by the Operating Partnership to the Underwriters of the LoTS^SM and (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Enterprise Parties of the Underwriting Agreement, except as may be required under state securities or “blue sky” laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion.

     11. The Partnership and the Operating Partnership are not and, after giving effect to the issue and sale of the LoTS^SM to the Underwriters and the application of the proceeds from the sale of the LoTS^SM as described under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus, will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

     12. The statements made in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Debt Securities” and “Description of the LoTS^SM” insofar as they purport to constitute

summaries of the terms of the LoTS^SM, the Indenture, and the Guarantee, constitute accurate summaries of such terms in all material respects.

     13. The statements made in the Prospectus under the caption “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of matters of U.S. federal tax law and regulations, constitute accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects.

     14. The Registration Statement became effective under the Securities Act on March 23, 2005, and the Prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act on July 14, 2006. To such counsel’s knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceeding for such purpose has been instituted or threatened by the Commission.

     15. The Registration Statement, as of the date it became effective under the Securities Act, the Preliminary Prospectus, as of its date, and the Prospectus, as of its date, appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive, in all material respects, to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, except that in each case such counsel need express no opinion with respect to the financial statements and the notes and schedules thereto or other financial, accounting or statistical data contained or incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.

     Such counsel may state that the enforceability of the obligations of the Enterprise Parties under the LoTS^SM, the Indenture and the Guarantee are subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance and preference), insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation, moratorium or similar laws and decisions relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief. Such principles are of general application, and in applying such principles a court, among other things, might decline to order the Enterprise Parties to perform covenants. Such counsel need not express any opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provisions of the LoTS^SM, the Indenture or the Guarantee that requires or relates to the payment of liquidated damages or additional interest at a rate or in an amount that a court would determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty or a forfeiture. Further, such counsel need not express any opinion with respect to the enforceability of provisions in the LoTS^SM, the Indenture or the Guarantee with respect to waiver, delay, extension or omission of notice of enforcement of rights or remedies or waivers of defenses or waivers of benefits of stay, extension, moratorium, redemption, statutes of limitations or other nonwaivable benefits provided by operation of law. In addition, the enforceability of any exculpation, indemnification or contribution provisions contained in the Indenture or the Guarantee may be limited by applicable law or public policy.

     Because the primary purpose of such counsel’s engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial or accounting matters and because of the wholly or partially

non-legal character of many of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Pricing Disclosure Package, such counsel need not pass upon and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Package (except to the extent expressly set forth in paragraphs 12 and 13 above), and such counsel need not independently verify the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements (except as aforesaid). Without limiting the foregoing, such counsel need not assume any responsibility for, and has not independently verified and has not been asked to comment on the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the financial statements, schedules and other financial or accounting data included in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Package or the exhibits to the Registration Statement or the documents incorporated by reference therein, and such counsel has not examined the accounting, financial or other records from which such financial statements, schedules and other financial or accounting data and information were derived. Such counsel may state that they are not experts with respect to any portion of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Package, including, without limitation, such financial statements and supporting schedules and related data and other financial or accounting data included therein. Such counsel may state that they did not participate in the preparation of the documents incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement. However, such counsel shall state that they have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Partnership Entities, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Partnership, the Underwriters’ representatives and the Underwriters’ counsel at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Pricing Disclosure Package and related matters were discussed. Based upon such participation and review, and relying as to materiality in part upon the factual statements of officers and other representatives of the Partnership Entities and upon the Underwriter’s representatives, such counsel shall advise the Underwriters that no facts have come to such counsel’s attention that have caused such counsel to believe that (i) the Registration Statement (including the documents incorporated by reference therein, but excluding the financial statements, schedules and related data and other financial or accounting data, as to which such counsel has not been asked to comment), at the time such Registration Statement became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Prospectus (including the documents incorporated by reference therein, but excluding the financial statements, schedules and related data and other financial or accounting data, as to which such counsel has not been asked to comment), as of the date of the Prospectus and as of the time of delivery of such counsel’s letter, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) the Pricing Disclosure Package, considered together (including the documents incorporated by reference therein, but excluding the financial statements, schedules and related data and other financial or accounting data, as to which such counsel has not been asked to comment), as of the Applicable Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the public offering price of and interest rate of the LoTS^SM and disclosures directly relating thereto that are included on the cover page of the Prospectus are not included in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus.

     In rendering such opinions, such counsel may (A) rely in respect of matters of fact exclusively upon certificates of officers and employees for the Partnership Entities and upon information obtained from public officials, (B) assume that all documents submitted to them as originals are authentic, that all copies submitted to them conform to the originals thereof, and that the signatures on all documents examined by them are genuine, (C) state that their opinion is based on and limited to the Delaware LP Act, the Delaware LLC Act, the DGCL and the laws of the State of Texas, the applicable laws of the United States of America and, with respect to the opinion set forth in paragraph 13 above, United States federal income tax law, and, with respect to the opinions set forth in paragraphs 4, 5, 6 and 9, the relevant contract law of the State of New York, (D) state that they express no opinion with respect to the state securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction or with respect to the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws, (E) with respect to the opinion expressed in paragraph 1 above as to the due qualification or registration under the laws of the State of Texas as a foreign limited partnership, limited liability company or corporation, as the case may be, of the General Partner, the Partnership, the Operating Partnership and OLPGP, state that such opinions are based solely on certificates of foreign qualification or registration for each such entity provided by the Secretary of State of the State of Texas, and (F) state that such counsel expresses no opinion with respect to (i) any permits to own or operate any real or personal property or (ii) state or local taxes or tax statutes to which any of the limited partners of the Partnership or any of the Partnership Entities may be subject.
