Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Basic Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 3.09 No Conflicts
The execution, delivery and performance by the Capital Entities of the Basic Documents to which they are parties and compliance by the Capital Entities with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, and the issuance and sale by CPLP of the Purchased Units and the application of the proceeds therefrom, do not and will not (a) with respect to securities laws, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers contained herein and their compliance with the covenants contained herein, and with respect to other Laws, will not violate any provision of any Law or Permit having applicability to the Capital Entities or any of their respective Properties, (b) conflict with, result in or constitute a violation of the partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement, certificate of formation or conversion, certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other constituent document of any of the Capital Entities, (c) require any consent, approval or notice under or result in a violation or breach of or constitute a breach or violation of, or a default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default) under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which any of the Capital Entities is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties may be bound, or (d) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of any of the CPLP Entities except in the cases of clauses (a), (c) and (d) where any such conflict, violation, default, breach, termination, cancellation, failure to receive consent, approval or notice, or acceleration with respect to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09 would not be, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to result in a CPLP Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.11 Compliance with Laws
Neither CPLP nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any judgment, decree or order or any Law applicable to CPLP or its Subsidiaries, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a CPLP Material Adverse Effect. CPLP and its Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a CPLP Material Adverse Effect, and neither CPLP nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit, except where such potential revocation or modification would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a CPLP Material Adverse Effect.

Except for the approvals required by the Commission in connection with any registration statement filed under the Registration Rights Agreement, and for approvals that have already been obtained, no authorization, consent, approval, waiver, license, qualification or written exemption from, nor any filing, declaration, qualification or registration with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Capital Entity of any of the Basic Documents to which it is a party, except where the failure to receive such authorization, consent, approval, waiver, license, qualification or written exemption from, or to make such filing, declaration, qualification or registration would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a CPLP Material Adverse Effect.

Except for the fees payable to Evercore Capital Partners and to certain investment banks, no fees or commissions are or will be payable by CPLP to brokers, finders, or investment bankers with respect to the sale of any of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 3.14 Registration Rights
Neither the execution of this Agreement, the issuance of the Purchased Units as contemplated by this Agreement nor the conversion of the Purchased Units into Common Units gives rise to any rights for or relating to the registration of any Partnership Securities, other than as have been waived.
15
Section 3.15 No Registration
Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each Purchaser contained in Section 4.05, the issuance and sale of the Purchased Units pursuant to this Agreement is exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act, and neither CPLP nor, to the knowledge of CPLP, any authorized Representative acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between CPLP and any Person granting such Person the right to require CPLP to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of CPLP or to require CPLP to include such securities in any securities registered or to be registered pursuant to any registration statement filed by or required to be filed by CPLP under the Securities Act.
Section 3.16 Tax Matters
CPLP is treated as a corporation for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Based on its current methods of operation, CPLP believes that it is not a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.

16
Section 3.21 Insurance
CPLP and its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which they are engaged. CPLP does not have any reason to believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business.
Section 3.22 Internal Accounting Controls
CPLP and its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

17
Section 4.03 No Breach
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Purchaser and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (a) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement to which such Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Purchaser is subject, (b) conflict with or result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of such Purchaser, or (c) violate any statute, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over such Purchaser or the property or assets of such Purchaser, except in the cases of clauses (a) and (c), for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults as would not prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 4.04 Certain Fees
No fees or commissions are or will be payable by such Purchaser to brokers, finders, or investment bankers with respect to the purchase of any of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 4.05 Investment
The Purchased Units are being acquired for such Purchaser’s own account or the account of clients for whom it exercises investment discretion, not as a nominee or agent, and with no intention of distributing the Purchased Units or any part thereof, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling or granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same in any transaction in violation of the securities laws of the United States or any state, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right at all times to (subject to such Purchaser’s agreement contained in Section 5.06(b) hereof) sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Purchased Units under a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from such registration available thereunder (including, without limitation, if available, Rule 144 promulgated thereunder). If such Purchaser should in the future decide to dispose of any of the Purchased Units, such Purchaser understands and agrees (a) that it may do so only in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities law, as then in effect, which may include a sale contemplated by any registration statement pursuant to which such securities are being offered, and (b) that stop-transfer instructions to that effect will be in effect with respect to such securities.
Section 4.06 Nature of Purchasers
Such Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, CPLP that, (a) it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act and (b) by reason of its business and financial experience it has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in making similar
18
Section 4.07 Receipt of Information; Authorization
Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has (a) had access to CPLP’s SEC Documents and (b) been provided a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Representatives of CPLP regarding such matters.
Section 4.08 Restricted Securities
Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased Units it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from CPLP in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is knowledgeable with respect to Rule 144 and Regulation S of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act.
Section 4.09 Legend
It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Purchased Units or, upon conversion to Common Units, the book-entry account maintained by the transfer agent evidencing such Common Units, as applicable, will bear the following legend: “These securities have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities commission of any state in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and are subject to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Capital Product Partners L.P., as amended. The holder of this security acknowledges for the benefit of Capital Product Partners L.P. that this security may not be sold, offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred if such transfer would (a) violate the then applicable securities laws or rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or any other governmental authority with jurisdiction over such transfer or (b) cause Capital Product Partners L.P. to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed). Capital GP L.L.C., the general partner of Capital Product Partners L.P., may impose additional restrictions on the transfer of this security if it receives an opinion of counsel that such restrictions are necessary to avoid a significant risk of Capital Product Partners L.P. becoming taxable as a corporation or otherwise becoming taxable as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed). The restrictions set forth above shall not preclude the settlement of any transactions involving this security entered into through the facilities of any national securities exchange on which this security is listed or admitted to trading.”

“Walled Off Person” means any employees, subsidiaries or Affiliates that are effectively walled off by appropriate “Chinese Wall” information barriers approved by Purchaser’s legal or compliance department (and thus have not been privy to any information concerning this transaction).
Section 5.07 Corporate Status
CPLP shall not file any election or take other action that would change its status as a corporation for purposes of the Code without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Class B Units.

Section 7.03 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. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a party at law or in equity or otherwise.
(b) Specific Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, waiver, consent, modification, or termination of any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document (except in the case of the Partnership Agreement, as amended by the Class B Amendment, for amendments adopted pursuant to the terms thereof) shall be effective unless signed by each of the parties hereto or thereto affected by such amendment, waiver, consent, modification, or termination. Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, and any consent to any departure by CPLP from the terms of any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on CPLP in any case shall entitle CPLP to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Section 7.04 Binding Effect; Assignment

(c) Assignment of Rights. All or any portion of the rights and obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement may be transferred by such Purchaser to any Affiliate of such Purchaser without the consent of CPLP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer of rights may take place pursuant to this Section 7.04(c) unless the transferee executes a joinder agreement and expressly agrees to be bound by the terms of the Basic Documents. Schedule A and Schedule B to this Agreement will be updated to reflect the transferee information.
Section 7.05 Non-Disclosure

Section 7.07 Removal of Legend
In connection with a sale of the Purchased Units or Common Units upon conversion of the Purchased Units by a Purchaser in reliance on Rule 144, the applicable Purchaser or its broker shall deliver to the transfer agent and CPLP a customary broker representation letter providing to the transfer agent and CPLP any information CPLP deems reasonably necessary to determine that the sale of the Purchased Units or Common Units, as applicable, is made in compliance with Rule 144, including, as may be appropriate, a certification that the Purchaser is not an Affiliate of CPLP and regarding the length of time the Purchased Units and/or the Common Units, as applicable, have been held. Upon receipt of such representation letter, CPLP shall promptly direct its transfer agent to remove the notation of a restrictive legend in such Purchaser’s certificates evidencing the Purchased Units or the book-entry account maintained by the transfer agent, including the legend referred to in Section 4.9, and CPLP shall bear all costs associated therewith. After a registration statement under the Securities Act permitting the public resale of the Common Units issued upon conversion of the Purchased Units has become effective or any Purchaser or its permitted assigns have held the Purchased Units and/or the Common Units for at least one year, if the certificate evidencing such Purchased Units or Common Units issued upon conversion thereof or the book-entry account with the transfer agent of such Purchased Units or Common Units, as applicable, still bears the notation of the restrictive legend referred to in Section 4.09, CPLP agrees, upon request of the Purchaser or permitted assignee, to take all steps necessary to promptly effect the removal of the

Section 7.11 Termination
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated at any time at or prior to the Closing by the written consent of the Purchasers representing a majority of the aggregate Purchase Price, (i) upon a CPLP Material Adverse Effect or (ii) upon a breach in any material respect by CPLP of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall automatically terminate at any time at or prior to the Closing:
28
(i) if a statute, rule, order, decree or regulation shall have been enacted or promulgated, or if any action shall have been taken by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction that permanently restrains, permanently precludes, permanently enjoins or otherwise permanently prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or makes the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal; or
(ii) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before June 11, 2012.
(c) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in this Section 7.11, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void.
