On the Closing Date, the Selling Unitholder shall use the net proceeds received from the sale of Purchased Units to repay all of the outstanding indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement and, as of the Closing Date, all of the Purchased Units pledged as security for such indebtedness shall have been released.

Section 4.02 Existence; No Breach. (i) The Selling Unitholder has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a limited partnership under the laws of the state of Delaware, with all necessary power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted; (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Selling Unitholder and the consummation by the Selling Unitholder of the transactions contemplated hereby (A) will not 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 the Selling Unitholder is a party or by which the Selling Unitholder is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Selling Unitholder is subject, (B) will not result in any violation of the provisions of the certificate of limited partnership or the partnership agreement of the Selling Unitholder, or (C) will not violate any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Selling Unitholder or the property or assets of the Selling Unitholder, except in the case of clauses (ii)(A) and (ii)(C), for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults as would not prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (1) the financial condition of the Selling Unitholder or (2) the ability of the Selling Unitholder to consummate the transactions contemplated under any Basic Document to which it is a party (a “Selling Unitholder Material Adverse Effect”).
Section 4.03 Authorization; Enforceability. The Selling Unitholder has all necessary partnership power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and any other Basic Document to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any other Basic Document to which it is a party by the Selling Unitholder and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary legal action, and no further consent or authorization of the Selling Unitholder, its general partner or its unitholders is required.

Selling Unitholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms; provided that, the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
Section 4.04 No Brokerage Fee. There are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Selling Unitholder and any Person that would give rise to a valid claim against any Purchaser for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other like payment in connection with the purchase and sale of the Purchased Units pursuant to this Agreement.

Without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Purchased Units taken as a whole, from the date of this Agreement until the Lock-Up Date, the Selling Unitholder shall not, and the Selling Unitholder GP shall cause its directors, officers and Affiliates not to, sell any Partnership Securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable therefor.
Section 4.06 No Side Agreements.

Section 4.07 Approvals. 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 the Selling Unitholder of any of the Basic Documents, 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 Selling Unitholder Material Adverse Effect.
Section 4.08 No Rights of First Refusal. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the sale of the Purchased Units as contemplated by this Agreement gives rise to any rights of first refusal, rights of first offer or similar rights that would entitle any Person to purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Purchased Units or require that an offer to purchase or acquire any of the Purchased Units be made to any Person.

Section 5.03 No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by such Purchaser and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby 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 such Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Purchaser is subject, (B) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of such Purchaser, or (C) violate any statute or 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 case 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 or the Registration Rights Agreement and could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or prospects of such Purchaser.
Section 5.04 No Brokerage Fee. There are no contracts, agreements or understandings between such Purchaser and any person that would give rise to a valid claim against the Selling Unitholder for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other like payment in connection with the purchase and sale of the Purchased Units purchased by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 5.05 Investment. The Purchased Units are being acquired by such Purchaser for its own account or the account of clients for whom it exercises investment discretion, not as a nominee or agent, and with no present 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 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 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, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Purchaser
14
may at any time enter into one or more total return swaps with respect to such Purchaser’s Purchased Units with a third party, provided that such transactions are exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
Section 5.06 Nature of Purchasers. Such Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Selling Unitholder and the Partnership that (a) it is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or an “accredited investor” within the meaning of clause (1), (2), (3), (7) or (8) of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act that has, or the equity owners of which have, assets of at least $100 million and (b) by reason of its business and financial experience it has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in making similar investments and in business and financial matters generally so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Purchased Units, is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, would be able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
Section 5.07 Receipt of Information; Authorization. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has (a) had access to the Partnership’s periodic filings with the Commission, including the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and Current Reports filed on Form 8-K since January 1, 2007 and (b) been provided a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Representatives of the Partnership regarding such matters sufficient to enable such Purchaser to evaluate the risks and merits of purchasing the Purchased Units and consummating the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents.
Section 5.08 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 the Selling Unitholder 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 of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act.
Section 5.09 Legend. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Purchased Units initially will bear the following legend: “These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Section 5.10 No Substantial Security Holders. Such Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Selling Unitholder and the Partnership that, on the date hereof and as of the date of Closing (before giving effect to the purchase of Purchased Units pursuant to this Agreement), such Purchaser and its Affiliates (a) hold beneficial ownership of less than five percent of the Common Units of the Partnership outstanding on the date hereof and (b) hold beneficial ownership of less than five percent of the outstanding voting power of the Partnership.
15
Section 5.11 Purchaser Lock-Up. Such Purchaser agrees that from and after Closing it will not sell any of the Purchased Units prior to the Lock-up Date without the written consent of the Partnership; provided, however, that each Purchaser may: (i) enter into one or more total return swaps or similar transactions at any time with respect to the Purchased Units purchased by such Purchaser or (ii) transfer its Purchased Units to an Affiliate of such Purchaser or to any other Purchaser or an Affiliate of such other Purchaser provided that such Affiliate agrees to the restrictions in this Section 5.11.

INDEMNIFICATION, COSTS AND EXPENSES
Section 6.01 Indemnification by the Selling Unitholder. The Selling Unitholder agrees to indemnify each Purchaser and its Representatives (collectively, “Purchaser Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, 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 reasonable 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 the Selling Unitholder contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of any representation or warranty is made prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty; and provided further, that no Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost profits or diminution in value) or punitive damages.
Section 6.02 Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify the Selling Unitholder, the Selling Unitholder GP and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Selling Unitholder Related Parties”) and the Partnership, the Partnership GP and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Partnership Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, 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 reasonable 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 such Purchaser contained herein; provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of any representation or warranty is made prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty, and provided further, that no Selling Unitholder Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost profits or diminution in value) or punitive damages.
16
Section 6.03 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after any Selling Unitholder Related Party, 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, 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, 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 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 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 contain any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.
