ARTICLE V

COVENANTS

Section 5.01 Taking of Necessary Action. The Parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts promptly to take or cause to be taken all action and promptly to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Partnership and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to make all filings and obtain all consents of Governmental Authorities that may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of Purchaser or the Partnership, as the case may be, advisable for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents.

Section 5.02 Disclosure; Public Filings. The Partnership may, without prior written consent or notice, (i) file the Basic Documents as exhibits to Exchange Act reports and (ii) disclose such information with respect to Purchaser as required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of the NYSE or other exchange on which securities of the Partnership are listed or traded. The Partnership shall, on or before the fourth Business Day following the Closing Date file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission (the “8-K Filing”) describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents and including as exhibits to such 8-K Filing, the Basic Documents in the form required by the Exchange Act.

Section 5.03 NYSE Listing Application. The Partnership shall file a supplemental listing application with the NYSE to list the Purchased Units.

Section 5.04 Short Selling. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage of Short Sales of securities “against the box” prior to the effective date of a registration statement is a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act. Purchaser agrees that it will not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) engage in any Short Sales that result in the disposition of its Purchased Units by Purchaser until such time as the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is declared or deemed effective by the Commission; provided, however, this provision shall not limit Purchaser’s ability to fulfill contractual obligations existing on the date hereof.

12

Section 5.05 Certain Special Allocations of Book and Taxable Income. To the extent that the Per Unit Price differs from the Per Unit Capital Amount (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) for an Outstanding Common Unit after taking into account the issuance of the Purchased Units, the General Partner intends to specially allocate Partnership items of book and taxable income, gain, loss or deduction to Purchaser so that the Per Unit Capital Amount with respect to their Purchased Units are equal to the Per Unit Capital Amounts with respect to other Common Units (and thus to assure fungibility of all Common Units). Such special allocations will occur upon the earlier to occur of any taxable period of the Partnership ending upon, or after, (a) an event described in Section 5.5(d) of the Partnership Agreement or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership occurring after the date of the issuance of the Purchased Units, or (b) the transfer of the Purchased Units to a Person that is not an Affiliate of Purchaser, in which case, such allocation shall be made only with respect to the Purchased Units so transferred.

INDEMNIFICATION, COSTS AND EXPENSES

Section 6.01 Indemnification by the Partnership. The Partnership agrees to indemnify Purchaser and its Representatives (collectively, “Purchaser Related Parties”) (a) from costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, and (b) hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Partnership contained herein, and in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, 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, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations or warranties is made prior to the expiration of such representations or warranties to the extent applicable; and provided further, that no Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential or punitive damages under this Section 6.01. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, consequential damages shall not be deemed to include diminution in value of the Purchased Units, which is specifically included in damages covered by Purchaser Related Parties’ indemnification.

Section 6.02 Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Partnership, the General Partner and their respective Representatives (collectively, “Partnership Related Parties”) from, 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, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, 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 as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of Purchaser contained herein; provided, that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of a representation or warranty is made prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty; and provided further, that no Partnership Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost profits) or punitive damages.

Section 6.03 Indemnification Procedure. 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 party, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, 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 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 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 furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s 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 failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party 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 those available to 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

14

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, involves no admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, and includes a complete release from liability of, the Indemnified Party.

Section 8.07 Removal of Legend. In connection with a sale of the Purchased Units by Purchaser in reliance on Rule 144, Purchaser or its broker shall deliver to the transfer agent and the Partnership a customary broker representation letter providing to the transfer agent and the Partnership any information the Partnership deems reasonably necessary to determine that the sale of the Purchased Units is made in compliance with Rule 144, including, as may be appropriate, a certification that Purchaser is not an Affiliate of the Partnership and regarding the length of time the Purchased Units have been held.
