(a) The Peak Parties each, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents thereof and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all reasonable expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation, and which are in each case documented by the incurring Underwriter) (collectively, the “Damages”), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Damages (or actions in respect thereof) (1) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Initial Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, the Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereof, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or (2) 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Peak Parties will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Damages arise out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Initial Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, the Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereof, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Peak Parties by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter is the information described as such in Section 9(b) below.

(b) Each Underwriter severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Peak Parties, each of the directors of the Peak Parties, each of the officers of the Peak Parties who have signed the Registration Statement, and each other person, if any, who controls the Peak Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against any Damages, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Damages (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Initial Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, the Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereof, or any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense 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 Partnership by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the concession and reallowance figures appearing under the caption “Underwriting—Underwriting Discounts and Expenses” and the first paragraph relating to stabilization by the Underwriters appearing under the caption “Underwriting—Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids”.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 9(a) or 9(b) 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 under such Section, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 9). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (1) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection

24

with the defense of such action, (2) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (3) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, which counsel, in the event of indemnified parties under Section 9(a), shall be selected by the Representative. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (1) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 9(a) or 9(b) in respect of any Damages (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Peak Parties on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Peak Parties on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Damages (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Peak Parties on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Peak Parties bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault 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 relates to information supplied by the Partnership on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Peak Parties and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 9(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Damages (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 9(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

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. The Underwriters’ obligations in this Section 9(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The Peak Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless the Representative (including its directors, officers and employees) and each person, if any, who controls the Representative within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act (“Representative Entities”), from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect thereof to which any of the Representative Entities may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar

25

as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action (i) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any material prepared by or with the approval of the Peak Parties for distribution to Directed Unit Offerees in connection with the Directed Unit Program or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which any such statements were made, except, with respect to such material, insofar as any such loss, claim, damage or liability or any action arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with, information concerning an Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you to the Partnership expressly for use in such material or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such material relating to such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information not misleading, (ii) arises out of or is based upon the failure of the Directed Unit Offeree who accepts Directed Units to pay for and accept delivery of Directed Units that the Directed Unit Offeree agreed to purchase or (iii) is otherwise related to the Directed Unit Program, provided that the Peak Parties shall not be liable under this clause (iii) for any loss, claim, damage, liability or action that is determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Representative Entities. In the event that it is finally judicially determined that the Representative Entities were not entitled to receive payments for legal and other expenses pursuant to this Section, the Representative Entities will promptly return all sums that had been advanced pursuant thereto.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) The obligations of the parties to this Agreement contained in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

10. Defaulting Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in its or their obligations to purchase Securities hereunder on the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date and the aggregate number of Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed one-ninth of the total number of Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, the Representative may make arrangements satisfactory to the Peak Parties for the purchase of such Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate number of Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds one-ninth of the total number of Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the Peak Parties for the purchase of such Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 12, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Peak Parties, except as provided in Section 12. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the Representative or the Peak Parties shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or the relevant Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10.

11. Termination of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, this Agreement (or the obligations of the several Underwriters with respect to any Option Units which have yet to be purchased) may be terminated, subject to the provisions of Section 12, in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice given to the Partnership, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, (1) trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental or regulatory authority, (2) trading of any securities of or guaranteed

26

by the Partnership or any Subsidiary shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (3) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or a new restriction materially adversely affecting the distribution of the Securities or Class A Common Units shall have become effective, or (4) there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative, impracticable to market the Securities to be delivered on the Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities.

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 11, such termination will be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 12 hereof.

12. Survival. The provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 and the respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Peak Parties or its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of (1) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Peak Parties or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, (2) delivery of and payment for the Securities or Class A Common Units and (3) any termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters under Section 8 or otherwise because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Peak Parties to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Peak Parties shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any condition of the Underwriters’ obligations cannot be fulfilled, in each case other than as a result of a termination by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 11 hereof, the Peak Parties agree to reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) reasonably incurred and documented by the Underwriter in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder; provided, however, such amounts to be reimbursed hereunder shall not exceed $300,000.

13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Peak Parties and the Underwriters, the officers and directors of the Peak Parties referred to herein, any controlling persons referred to herein and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. No purchaser of Class A Common Units from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

14. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt thereof by the recipient if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be given to the Representative, c/o Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, 1717 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, Attention: T.

Hammons (which copy shall not constitute notice hereunder).

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form in compliance with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 or any comparable state statutes, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

17. Venue. The parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of and venue in the federal courts located in the City of New York, New York in connection with any dispute related to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated hereby, or any other matter contemplated hereby.

18. No Fiduciary Duty. The Peak Parties each acknowledge and agree that (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Peak Parties on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Peak Parties or their respective stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Peak Parties with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Peak Parties on other matters) or any other obligation to the Peak Parties except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, and (iv) the Peak Parties have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Peak Parties agrees that each will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Peak Parties, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

19. Research Analyst Independence. The Peak Parties acknowledge 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 the Partnership and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Peak Parties hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Peak 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 Peak Parties by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. The Peak Parties acknowledge 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 transaction 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.

However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.

21. Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Peak Parties and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

PEAK RESOURCES LP

1910 Main Avenue

Durango, Colorado 81301

JANNEY MONTGOMERY SCOTT LLC

1717 Arch Street

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned refers to the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among Peak Resources LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), Peak Resources GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and general partner of the Partnership, and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, as representative of the Underwriters as named and defined therein (the “Representative”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. As an inducement to the Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement in connection with the proposed public offering of the class A common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Class A Common Units”) and for other good and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1, the undersigned hereby agrees that from the date of this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) and ending at the close of business 180 days after the public offering date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell the Class A Common Units pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (such 180 day period being referred to herein as the “Lock-Up Period”), to which you are or expect to become parties, the undersigned will not (and will not cause or direct any of its direct or indirect affiliates to) (1) offer, sell, contract to sell (including any short sale), pledge, hypothecate, establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, purchase any option or contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, or otherwise encumber, dispose of or transfer, directly or indirectly, any Class A Common Units, Class B Common Units or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Class A Common Units or Class B Common Units (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), (2) enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or (3) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise, or (4) publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Representative, which consent may be withheld in the Representative’s sole discretion.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, during the Lock-Up Period, without the prior written consent of the Representative (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion), the undersigned will not request, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Lock-Up Securities.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the General Partner, (i) the undersigned agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed Class A Common Units that the undersigned may purchase in the proposed public offering; (ii) the Representative agrees that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of Lock-Up Securities, the Representative will notify the Partnership of the impending release or waiver; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not give rise to any claim or liability against the Underwriters, and (iii) the Partnership has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Representative hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration or that is to an immediate family member as defined in FINRA Rule 5130(i)(5) and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the undersigned’s Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Representative as follows:

provided that, in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (i) through (v) and (xi) above, that (a) the transferee/donee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Letter Agreement (including, without limitation, the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence) to the same extent as if the transferee/donee were a party hereto, (b) each party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall not be required by law (including without limitation the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to make, and shall agree to not voluntarily make, any filing or public announcement of the transfer or disposition prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period referred to above, and (c) the undersigned notifies the Representative at least two business days prior to the proposed transfer or disposition and provided further, that that in the case of any transfer, donation or distribution pursuant to clauses (i) through (v), (vii), (viii) and (xi), any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value. To the extent any interest in the Partnership’s securities is retained by the undersigned (or such spouse or family member), such securities shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Letter Agreement. For purposes of the foregoing, “immediate family” means such person’s spouse, parents, children, brothers, sisters, grandparents, grandchildren and any such person who is so related by marriage such that this includes “step-” and “-in-law” relations as well as such persons so related by adoption.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Partnership and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to (a) decline to make any transfer of Lock-Up Securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Letter Agreement and (b) place legends and stop transfer instructions on any such Lock-Up Securities owned or beneficially owned by the undersigned.

The undersigned understands that the Partnership and the Underwriters are relying on this Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the public offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement. This Letter Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned. This Letter Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to choice of law rules.

This Letter Agreement shall automatically lapse and become null and void upon the earliest to occur, if any, of: (i) the date of the filing with the SEC of a notice of withdrawal of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (which covers the Class A Common Units) pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act prior to payment for and delivery of the Class A Common Units to be sold under the Underwriting Agreement, (ii) the Partnership advises the Representative in writing prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement that it has determined not to proceed with the proposed public offering, (iii) the Underwriting Agreement is executed but is terminated (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination) prior to payment for and delivery of the Class A Common Units to be sold thereunder, and (iv) December 31, 2024, if the proposed public offering shall not have occurred on or prior to such date.
