Section 4.04Certain Fees.  No fees or commissions are or will be payable by any Purchaser to brokers, finders or investment bankers with respect to the purchase of any of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each Purchaser agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless Sanchez from and against any and all claims, demands or liabilities for broker’s, finder’s, placement, or other similar fees or commissions incurred by such Purchaser or alleged to have been incurred by such Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.02Indemnification by the Purchasers.  Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify Sanchez, the General Partner and their respective Representatives (collectively, “Sanchez 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, 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 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 (i) 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 or (ii) the breach of any of the covenants of such Purchaser contained herein, provided that, in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i), such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of any representation or warranty is made prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty; provided,  however, that for purposes of determining when an indemnification claim has been made, the date upon which a Sanchez 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; provided,  further, that the liability of such Purchasers shall not be greater in amount than the sum of such Purchaser’s Purchase Price.  No Sanchez Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential or punitive damages under this Section 5.02.

Section 5.03Indemnification Procedure.

Section 6.01Expenses.  All costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with the Basic Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses;  provided, however, that, upon written request, the Partnership shall reimburse each Purchaser who acquires $5,000,000 or more of Class A Preferred Units for such Purchaser’s out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Basic Documents, provided that such amount for each such Purchaser shall not exceed $7,500.

“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.  Whenever Sanchez has an obligation under the Basic Documents, the expense of complying with that obligation shall be an expense of Sanchez unless otherwise specified.  Any reference in this Agreement to $ shall mean U.S. dollars.  Whenever any determination, consent or approval is to be made or given by a Purchaser, such action shall be in such Purchaser’s sole discretion, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement.  If any provision in the Basic Documents is held to be illegal, invalid, not binding or unenforceable, (i) such provision shall be fully severable and the Basic Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, not binding or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of the Basic Documents, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and (ii) the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Basic Documents so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.  When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to the Basic Documents, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded.  If the last day of such period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.  Any words imparting the singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa.  The words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires.  The provision of a Table of Contents, the division of this Agreement into Articles, Sections and other subdivisions and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect or be utilized in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

Section 6.05Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon Sanchez, each of the Purchasers 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,  except  that the Placement Agent is an intended third party beneficiary of Article III  and Article IV hereof.

Section 6.06Non-Disclosure.

            (a)For one year after the Closing Date, no Purchaser shall, directly or indirectly, disclose to any person any information received from Sanchez, in any form, whether acquired prior to or after the Closing Date, relating to the business and operations of the Partnership Entities; provided,  however, that information shall not be deemed confidential information for purposes of this Section 6.06, where such information (i) was already known to such Purchaser (or its Representatives) at the time of disclosure, (ii) later becomes known to such Purchaser by having been disclosed to such Purchaser (or its Representatives) by a third party to such Purchaser’s knowledge not subject to any legally binding obligation to keep such information confidential or otherwise prohibited from transmitting such information, (iii) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of such Purchaser (or its Representatives), or (iv) is independently developed by such Purchaser (or its Representatives) without reference to any confidential information disclosed to such Purchaser under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Purchaser may disclose any information relating to the business and operations of the Partnership Entities (i) to its Representatives, Affiliates, and funding sources and limited partners, investors, and potential investors of such Purchaser and its Affiliates, to whom such disclosure is necessary or convenient and who in each case either (1) acknowledge that they are bound by the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement or (2) are bound by confidentiality obligations to the Purchaser or its Affiliates that are at least as stringent as the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, and in each case the Purchasers shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Representatives, Affiliates, and funding sources and limited partners, investors, and

potential investors of such Purchaser and its Affiliates to keep any such  information confidential; (ii) to any transferee or proposed transferee of the Purchased Units permitted under the Partnership Agreement; (iii) as required by applicable Law or any securities exchange or market rule; (iv) as may be requested or required by any Governmental Authority (provided that such Purchaser first notifies Sanchez and gives Sanchez the opportunity to contest such request or requirement, in each case as permitted by applicable Law (except no such opportunity shall be afforded in the case of a routine audit or examination by, or a blanket document request from, a governmental or regulatory entity that does not reference the Partnership)); or (v) except with prior notice of such request for disclosure to, and consent of, Sanchez (which consent may be withheld in Sanchez’s sole discretion).

         (b)Other than filings made by Sanchez with the Commission, the Partnership Entities and any of their respective Representatives shall disclose the identity of, or any other information concerning the Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates only after providing the Purchasers a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such disclosure (with such comments being incorporated or reflected, to the extent reasonable, in any such disclosure); provided,  however, that nothing in this Section 6.06 shall delay any required filing or other disclosure with the Commission, NYSE MKT or any Governmental Authority or otherwise hinder the Partnership Entities’ or their Representatives’ ability to timely comply with all laws or rules and regulations of the Commission, NYSE MKT or other Governmental Authority.

          (c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.06,  Sanchez agrees that the Purchasers may (i) publicize their ownership in Sanchez, as well as the identity of Sanchez, the size of the investment and its pricing terms with respect to the Class A Preferred Units on its internet site or in marketing materials, press releases, published “tombstone” announcements or any other print or electronic medium and (ii) display Sanchez’s logo in conjunction with any such reference.

           (d)By 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately following the date of this Agreement, Sanchez shall issue a press release (the “Press Release”) reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Sanchez shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser or an affiliate of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser or an affiliate of any Purchaser in any press release or filing with the Commission (other than the registration statement to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement) or any regulatory agency or trading market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with (A) the registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (B) the filing of final transaction documents (including signature pages thereto) with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, request of the Commission or trading market regulations, in which case Sanchez shall provide the Purchasers with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this subclause (ii).

Sanchez and regarding the length of time the Purchased Units have been held.  Sanchez shall cooperate with each Purchaser to effect the removal of the legend referred to in Section 4.05 at any time such legend is no longer appropriate.
