Neither the Partnership nor the Purchasers shall take any position inconsistent with such Tax treatment for any Tax purpose, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(c) Cooperation. Such Purchaser shall cooperate reasonably with the Partnership to provide any information necessary for any applicable securities filings.
(d) Legends. Such Purchaser understands that, until such time as the Series A Preferred Units, the PIK Units and the Conversion Units, as applicable, (i) have been resold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) have been resold pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) are eligible for resale pursuant to paragraph (b)(1)(i) of Rule 144 without limitation under any other of the requirements of Rule 144, such securities will bear a restrictive legend to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be resold other than pursuant to such registration or an available exemption therefrom (the Securities Act Restrictive Legend), in addition to any other legends or notations as provided in the Partnership Agreement.
(e) Purchase Representation. Such Purchaser is purchasing the Series A Preferred Units for its own account and not with a view to distribution in violation of any Laws. Such Purchaser has been advised and understands that neither the Series A Preferred Units, the PIK Units nor the Conversion Units have been registered under the Securities Act or under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act (or if eligible, resold pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 or pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act).
(f) Rule 144. Such Purchaser understands that there is no public trading market for the Series A Preferred Units or the PIK Units, that none is expected to develop and that the Series A Preferred Units, the PIK Units and the Conversion Units must be held indefinitely unless and until the Series A Preferred Units, the PIK Units or the Conversion Units, as applicable, are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Such Purchaser has been advised of and is aware of the provisions of Rule 144.
(g) Reliance by the Partnership. Such Purchaser has been advised and understands that the Series A Preferred Units are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities Laws and that the Partnership is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Series A Preferred Units and the PIK Units, and the Conversion Units issuable upon conversion thereof.

To the extent that any Purchaser delivers all or any portion of its Funding Amount in Exchanged Securities, (a) such Purchaser is the sole legal and beneficial owner of such Exchanged Securities; (b) such Purchaser has good, valid and marketable title to such Exchanged Securities, free and clear of any Liens (other than pledges or security interests that such Purchaser may have created in favor of a prime broker under and in accordance with its prime brokerage agreement with such broker); (c) such Purchaser has not, in whole or in part, except as described in the preceding clause (b), (i) assigned, transferred, hypothecated, pledged, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of such Exchanged Securities or such Purchasers rights in such Exchanged Securities or (ii) given any Person or entity any transfer order, power of attorney or other authority of any nature whatsoever with respect to such Exchanged Securities; and (d) upon such Purchasers delivery of Exchanged Securities to the Partnership pursuant to the Transactions, such Exchanged Securities shall be free and clear of all Liens created by such Purchaser or any other Person acting for such Purchaser.
ARTICLE V
COVENANTS
Section 5.01 Use of Proceeds. The Partnership shall use the proceeds of the offering of the Series A Preferred Units (a) to fund expected growth capital projects and (b) for general working capital purposes of the Partnership Entities.
Section 5.02 Tax Matters.
(a) The Partnership will treat the conversion of the Series A Preferred Units into Common Units (or payment of Common Units with respect to the Partnerships redemption of the Series A Preferred Units) as an exercise of a noncompensatory option within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.761-3. The Partnership will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Purchasers to minimize the recognition of the taxable income by the Purchasers on such conversion or redemption (including by providing the information described in Section 5.02(b); provided, that the Partnerships obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts shall not require the Partnership to take any action that would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Partnership or its partners individually or in the aggregate (other than the Purchasers and their Affiliates).
23
(b) The Partnership will, after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, upon a reasonable written request by any Purchaser, provide such Purchaser, within a commercially reasonable time after the Partnerships receipt of such request, a good faith estimate (and reasonable supporting calculations) of whether there is sufficient Unrealized Gain attributable to the Partnership property on the date of such request such that, if any of such Purchasers Series A Preferred Units were converted to, or redeemed for, Common Units and such Unrealized Gain was allocated to such Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.5(d)(i) and Section 6.1 of the Partnership Agreement (taking proper account of allocations of higher priority), such Purchasers capital account in respect of its Common Units would be equal to the Per Unit Capital Amount for a Common Unit on the date of such request. Capitalized terms used in this Section 5.02(b) but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Partnership Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION, COSTS AND EXPENSES
Section 6.01 Indemnification by the Partnership. The Partnership agrees to indemnify each Purchaser and its Representatives (collectively, Purchaser Related Parties) from costs, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them), whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim, as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to (a) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by the Partnership contained herein to be true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section 3.13, Section 3.16 or Section 3.18 or other representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which, in each case, shall be true and correct in all respects) when made and as of the Closing Date (except for any representations and warranties made as of a specific date, which shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects as of such date only) or (b) the breach of any covenants of the Partnership contained herein; provided that, in the case of the immediately preceding clause (a), such claim for indemnification is made prior to the expiration of the survival period of such representation or warranty; provided, further, that for purposes of determining when an indemnification claim has been made, the date upon which a Purchaser Related Party shall have given notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification) to the Partnership shall constitute the date upon which such claim has been made; and provided, further, that the aggregate liability of the Partnership to each Purchaser and its Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall not be greater in amount than such Purchasers Funding Amount as of the date of the indemnification notice described in Section 6.03(a), and the aggregate liability of the Partnership to all Purchasers and their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall not exceed the aggregate Funding Amount of all Purchasers. No Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, indirect, exemplary, lost profits, speculative or punitive damages under this Section 6.01; provided, however, that such limitation shall not prevent any Purchaser Related Party from recovering under this Section 6.01 for any such damages to the extent that such damages are payable to a third party in connection with any Third-Party Claims.
24
Section 6.02 Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify the Partnership, the General Partner and their respective Representatives (collectively, Partnership Related Parties) from, all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them), whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim, as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to (a) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by such Purchaser contained herein to be true and correct in all material respects as of the date made (except to the extent any representation or warranty includes the word material, Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import, with respect to which such representation or warranty, or applicable portions thereof, must have been true and correct in all respects) or (b) the breach of any of the covenants or obligations of any such Purchaser contained herein (including failure to deliver payment pursuant to such Purchasers Funding Amount); provided that, in the case of the immediately preceding clause (a), such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of any representation or warranty is made prior to the expiration of the survival period of such representation or warranty; and provided, further, that for purposes of determining when an indemnification claim has been made, the date upon which a Partnership Related Party shall have given notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification) to such Purchaser shall constitute the date upon which such claim has been made; and provided, further, that the liability of any Purchaser shall not be greater in amount than the sum of such Purchasers Funding Amount plus any distributions paid to such Purchaser with respect to the Series A Preferred Units. No Partnership Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, indirect, exemplary, lost profits, speculative or punitive damages under this Section 6.02; provided, however, that such limitation shall not prevent any Partnership Related Party from recovering under this Section 6.02 for any such damages to the extent that such damages are payable to a third party in connection with any Third-Party Claims.
Section 6.03 Indemnification Procedure.
(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought; provided, however, that failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with this Article VI, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02.
(b) Promptly after any Partnership Related Party or Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter, the Indemnified Party) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement (each a Third-Party Claim), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the Indemnifying Party)
25
written notice of such Third-Party Claim, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such Third-Party Claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly, and in no event later than 10 days, notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Partys possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has, within 10 Business Days of when the Indemnified Party provides written notice of a Third-Party Claim, failed (1) to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (2) to notify the Indemnified Party of such assumption or (B) 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 in addition 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 expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.
Section 6.04 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments under this Article VI shall be treated as adjustments to the applicable Purchasers Funding Amount for all Tax purposes except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 7.02 Interpretation. Article, Section, Schedule and Exhibit references in this Agreement are references to the corresponding Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified. All Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof as if set forth in full herein and are an integral part of this Agreement. All references to instruments, documents, Contracts and agreements are references to such instruments, documents, Contracts and agreements as the same may be amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, unless otherwise specified. The word including shall mean including but not limited to and shall not be construed to limit any general statement that it follows to the specific or similar items or matters immediately following it.

Section 7.04 No Waiver: Modifications in Writing.
(a) Delay. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

(b) Specific Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination of any provision of any Transaction Document (except in the case of the Partnership Agreement for amendments adopted pursuant to the provisions thereof) shall be effective unless signed by each of the parties thereto affected by such amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination.

Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on the Partnership in any case shall entitle the Partnership to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any investigation by or on behalf of any party shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.
Section 7.05 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 7.08 Removal of Securities Act Restrictive Legend. In connection with a sale of any Series A Preferred Units, PIK Units or Conversion Units by a Purchaser in reliance on Rule 144, the applicable Purchaser or its broker shall deliver to the Partnership a representation letter providing to the Partnership any information the Partnership deems necessary to determine that the sale of such Series A Preferred Units, PIK Units or Conversion Units is made in compliance with Rule 144, including, as may be appropriate, a certification that the Purchaser is

The Partnership shall cooperate with each Purchaser to effect the removal of the Securities Act Restrictive Legend at any time such legend is no longer appropriate.
