Ladies and Gentlemen:

Introductory. Genesis Energy, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and Genesis Energy Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finance Corp.” and, together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”), propose to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule A hereto (the “Underwriters”), acting severally and not jointly, the respective amounts set forth in such Schedule A of $550,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Partnership’s 6.50% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC (“Xxxxx Fargo”) has agreed to act as the representative of the several Underwriters (the “Representative”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes and the Guarantees (as defined below), which are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”

The Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of May 21, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors (as defined below) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by that certain eighth supplemental indenture, to be dated as of August 14, 2017 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee (as so amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”). The payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by (i) the entities listed on the signature pages hereof as “Guarantors” and (ii) any Subsidiary (as defined below) of the Partnership formed or acquired after the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2(b)) that executes a supplemental indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Guarantors”), pursuant to their guarantees (the “Guarantees”). The Issuers and the Guarantors are herein collectively referred to as the “Obligors.”

It is understood and agreed to by the parties hereto that on August 2, 2017, the Partnership and Tronox US Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tronox”), entered into a

stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Tronox agreed to sell, and the Partnership agreed to acquire (the “Acquisition”), (a) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Tronox Alkali Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Acquired Entity,” and the equity interests in the Acquired Entity, the “Acquired Equity Interests”), and (b) all of the equity interests, which are directly or indirectly owned by the Acquired Entity, in Tronox Alkali Wyoming Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and Tronox Specialty Alkali LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the entities described in clause (b) above, the “Acquired Subsidiaries,” and the equity interests in the Acquired Subsidiaries, the “Acquired Subsidiary Equity Interests”) (the Acquired Entity and the Acquired Subsidiaries being collectively referred to herein as the “Subject Entities,” and the Acquired Equity Interests and the Acquired Subsidiary Equity Interests being collectively referred to herein as the “Equity Interests”), for aggregate consideration of approximately $1.325 billion. Immediately following consummation of the Acquisition, the Subject Entities and any additional entities required to guarantee the Notes pursuant to the Indenture (collectively, the “Additional Guarantors”) will be joined as parties to this underwriting agreement (this “Agreement”) pursuant to a joinder agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Joinder Agreement”). From and after the time of execution of the Joinder Agreement, all references herein to the “Guarantors” will be deemed to include the Additional Guarantors.

The Securities are being issued and sold as part of a financing of the Acquisition and the costs and expenses related to the Transactions (as defined below). In addition to the offering and sale of the Securities, the Partnership intends to finance the Transactions from a concurrent private offering of the Partnership’s Class A Convertible Preferred Units (the “Equity Offering”). However, pending the potential use of the net proceeds from the offer and sale of the Securities, the Company may use such proceeds to make short-term liquid investments or repay outstanding borrowings under the Partnership’s existing credit facility, in which case a portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition may be financed using additional borrowings under such credit facility. The Acquisition, the offering and sale of the Securities, the Equity Offering, any additional borrowings under the Partnership’s existing credit facility to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition, if applicable, and the payment of transaction costs are referred to herein collectively as the “Transactions.”

The Notes will be issued in book-entry form in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”), pursuant to a letter of representations dated November 17, 2010 (the “DTC Agreement”) from the Issuers to the Depositary. This Agreement, the Joinder Agreement (solely for purposes of such agreement at the time it is executed and delivered), the DTC Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities are referred to herein collectively as the “Transaction Documents.”

The Obligors have prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-203259), which contains a base prospectus, dated April 6, 2015 (the “Base Prospectus”), to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of debt securities, including the Securities, and other securities of the Obligors under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder), and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

Such registration statement, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, in the form in which it or any part thereof became effective under the Securities Act, as amended at or prior to such effective date, and including any required information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, is called the “Registration Statement.” The term “Prospectus” shall mean the final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities, together with the Base Prospectus, that is first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act after the date and time that this Agreement is executed (the “Execution Time”) by the parties hereto. The term “Preliminary Prospectus” shall mean any preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Securities, together with the Base Prospectus, that is first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents that are or are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act prior to 4:43 p.m., New York City time, on August 7, 2017 (the “Time of Sale”). All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, shall include any copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”).

All references herein to financial statements and schedules and other information that is “contained,” “included” or “stated” (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information that is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, prior to the Time of Sale; and all references herein to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder), which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, after the Time of Sale (all such documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus are referenced herein as the “Incorporated Documents”).

Each of the Obligors hereby confirms its agreements with the Underwriters as follows:

SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties. Each Obligor, jointly and severally, hereby represents, warrants and covenants to each Underwriter that, as of the date hereof, as of the Time of Sale and as of the Closing Date (in each case, a “Representation Date”) as follows (it being understood that whenever a reference is made in this Section 1 to the Subsidiaries (or subsidiaries) of the Partnership (other than Section 1(r)), such phrase shall be understood to refer to the subsidiaries of the Partnership both prior to and immediately after the consummation of the Acquisition, including the Additional Guarantors and their subsidiaries; provided, that any representations and warranties with respect to subsidiaries of the Partnership following the consummation of the Acquisition that were not also subsidiaries prior to the

consummation of the Acquisition shall be qualified by the Partnership’s knowledge after due inquiry):

(a) Compliance with Registration Requirements.

(i) The Obligors meet the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement became effective under the Securities Act upon filing with the Commission. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to any Obligor’s knowledge, are contemplated or threatened by the Commission. In addition, the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as amended, the “Trust Indenture Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder).

(ii) At each Representation Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto (A) complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, and (B) did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. At each Representation Date, neither the Prospectus, nor any amendments or supplements thereto included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties in this Section 1(a)(ii) shall not apply to (x) that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Trustee’s Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 under the Trust Indenture Act and (y) statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with the information furnished to the Partnership in writing by the Representative on behalf of any Underwriter expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Representative on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in the penultimate sentence of Section 8(b).

(iii) Each Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, at the time each was filed with the Commission, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act, and the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities will, at the time of such delivery, be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(b) The Pricing Disclosure Package. The term “Pricing Disclosure Package” shall mean (i) the Preliminary Prospectus dated August 7, 2017, (ii) the issuer free writing prospectuses as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act (each, an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), if any, identified in Annex I hereto, and (iii) any other free writing prospectus that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Pricing

Disclosure Package. As of the Time of Sale, the Pricing Disclosure Package did not contain or represent an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Pricing Disclosure Package made in reliance upon and in conformity with the information furnished to the Partnership in writing by the Representative on behalf of any Underwriter expressly for use in the Pricing Disclosure Package, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Representative on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in the penultimate sentence of Section 8(b).

(c) Incorporated Documents and Partnership SEC Documents. The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (i) at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and (ii) when read together with the other information in the Pricing Disclosure Package, at the Time of Sale, and when read together with the other information in the Prospectus, at the date of the Prospectus and at the Closing Date, did not or will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Partnership has timely filed with the Commission all forms, registration statements, reports, schedules and statements required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (all such documents filed on or prior to the date of this Agreement, but specifically excluding any documents “furnished,” collectively, the “Partnership SEC Documents”).

(d) Partnership is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (regardless of whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (iii) at the time any of the Obligors or any person acting on an Obligor’s behalf (within the meaning, for this clause (iii) only, of Rule 163(c) of the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the Securities Act, and (iv) as of the Execution Time, each of the Issuers was and is a “well known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, that automatically became effective not more than three years prior to the Execution Time; the Issuers have not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act objecting to use of the automatic shelf registration statement form and the Issuers have not otherwise ceased to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration statement form.

(e) Partnership Not Ineligible Issuer. (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Partnership or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the Securities Act) and (ii) as of the Time of Sale (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (ii)), neither the Partnership nor Finance Corp. was and is an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 of the Securities Act that it is not necessary that the Issuers be considered an “ineligible issuer.”

(f) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the offering of Securities under this Agreement or until any earlier date that the Partnership notified or notifies the Representative as described in the next sentence, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicts or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, the Partnership will promptly notify the Representative and amend or supplement, at its own expense and subject to the approval of the Representative, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict. The foregoing two sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Partnership in writing by the Representative on behalf of any Underwriter expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Representative on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in the penultimate sentence of Section 8(b).

(g) Issuer Additional Written Communications. None of the Obligors have distributed or will distribute, prior to the later of the Closing Date and the completion of the Underwriters’ distribution of the Securities, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, other than (i) the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus reviewed and consented to by the Representative and included in Annex I hereto or (ii) any electronic road show or other written communications reviewed and consented to by the Representative and listed on Annex II hereto (such information described in this Section 1(g)(ii) shall be referred to as an “Issuer Additional Written Communication”). Each such Issuer Additional Written Communication, when taken together with the Pricing Disclosure Package, did not as of the Time of Sale, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Additional Written Communication made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Partnership in writing by the Representative on behalf of any Underwriter expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Representative on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in the penultimate sentence of Section 8(b).

The Issuers, subject to Section 3(a)(ii), shall comply with the requirements of Rule 430B of the Securities Act, and shall promptly notify the Representative, and confirm the notice in writing, of (i) the effectiveness during the Prospectus Delivery Period (as defined below) of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or the filing of any supplement or amendment to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, other than a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the terms of this Agreement and containing exhibits to the Registration Statement, (ii) the receipt of any comments from the Commission during the Prospectus Delivery Period, (iii) any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or for additional information, and (iv) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes. The Obligors shall effect the filings required pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b), and shall take such steps as the Partnership deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424 were received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that any of them was not, the Issuers shall promptly file such document. The Obligors shall use their reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order referred to above and, if any such stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

(ii) Filing of Amendments. During the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the later of the Closing Date or such date as, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, the Prospectus is no longer required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities by an Underwriter or dealer, including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), the Issuers shall give the Representative notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement, or any amendment, supplement or revision to the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, other than a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the terms of this Agreement and containing exhibits to the Registration Statement, shall furnish the Representative with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing

or use, as the case may be, and shall not file or use any such document to which the Representative or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object in writing (unless the Partnership is advised by counsel that it is required by Law to make such filing).

(iii) Delivery of Registration Statements. The Issuers have furnished or will deliver to the Representatives upon request a reasonable number of copies of the Registration Statement, as initially filed with the Commission, and of all amendments thereto (including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein) and sufficient copies of the foregoing (other than exhibits) for distribution of a copy to each of the other Underwriters. The Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(iv) Delivery of Prospectuses. The Issuers shall deliver to each Underwriter, without charge, as many copies of the Preliminary Prospectus as such Underwriter may reasonably request (exclusive of Incorporated Documents), and the Issuers hereby consent to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the Securities Act. The Issuers shall furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, such number of copies of the Prospectus (exclusive of Incorporated Documents) as such Underwriter may reasonably request. The Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to the Underwriters shall be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(v) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. The Obligors shall comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. If at any time during the Prospectus Delivery Period, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or for the Partnership, to amend the Registration Statement in order that the Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or to amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order that the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the Time of Sale or at the time it is delivered or conveyed to a purchaser, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of either such counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of any law, the Issuers shall (i) notify the Representative of any such event, development or condition and (ii) promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(a)(ii), such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus comply with such law, and the Issuers shall furnish to the Underwriters, without charge, such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

(vi) Blue Sky Compliance. Each of the Obligors shall cooperate with the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters to qualify or register (or to obtain exemptions from qualifying or registering) all or any part of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities laws of the several states of the United States or any other jurisdictions reasonably designated by the Representative, shall comply with such laws and shall continue such qualifications, registrations and exemptions in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities. None of the Obligors shall be required to qualify as a foreign entity or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign entity. The Obligors shall advise the Representative promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Securities for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, each of the Obligors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.

(vii) Use of Proceeds. The Issuers shall apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities in the manner described under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(viii) The Depositary. The Issuers shall cooperate with the Underwriters and use their reasonable best efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of the Depositary.

(ix) Periodic Reporting Obligations. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Issuers shall file, on a timely basis, with the Commission and the NYSE all reports and documents required to be filed under the Exchange Act.

(x) Agreement Not To Offer or Sell Additional Securities. During the period of 60 days following the date hereof, the Issuers shall not, without the prior written consent of Xxxxx Fargo (which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of Xxxxx Fargo), directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer or establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or announce the offering of, or file any registration statement under the Securities Act in respect of, any debt securities of the Partnership or securities exchangeable for or convertible into debt securities of the Partnership (other than as contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Securities), except for the filing of a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 to register Common Units or other Partnership securities, provided that the Partnership shall not issue any debt securities or securities exchangeable for or convertible into any debt securities thereunder until expiration of such 60 day period.

(xi) Final Term Sheet. The Issuers shall prepare a final term sheet in a form approved by the Representative and attached as Annex III hereto, and shall file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act within the time required by such rule (such term sheet, the “Final Term Sheet”). Any such Final Term Sheet is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this Agreement.

(xii) Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses. Each of the Obligors represents that it has not made, and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representative, it shall not make, any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) required to be filed by such Obligor with the Commission or retained by such Obligor under Rule 433 under the Securities Act; provided that the prior written consent of the Representative shall be deemed to have been given in respect of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses included in Annex I to this Agreement. Any such free writing prospectus consented to or deemed to be consented to by the Representative is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” Each of the Obligors agrees that (i) it has treated and shall treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and (ii) has complied and shall comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

(xiii) Notice of Inability to Use Automatic Shelf Registration Statement Form. If at any time during the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Issuers receive from the Commission a notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act or otherwise cease to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration statement form, the Issuers shall (i) promptly notify the Representative, (ii) promptly file a new registration statement or post-effective amendment on the proper form relating to the Securities, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Representative, (iii) use their respective best efforts to cause such registration statement or post-effective amendment to be declared effective and (iv) promptly notify the Representative of such effectiveness. The Issuers shall take all other action reasonably necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Securities to continue as contemplated in the registration statement that was the subject of the Rule 401(g)(2) notice or for which the Issuers have otherwise become ineligible. References herein to Registration Statement shall include such new registration statement or post-effective amendment, as the case may be.

(xiv) Filing Fees. The Issuers agree to pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Securities within the time required by and in accordance with Rules 456(b)(1) and 457(r) under the Securities Act.

(xv) Compliance with Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Obligors shall comply, in all material respects, with all applicable securities laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the directors and officers of the each of the Obligors, in their capacities as such, to comply, in all material respects, with such laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act.

(xvi) Earnings Statement. As soon as practicable, the Partnership will make generally available to its security holders and the Underwriters an earnings statement (which need not be audited) satisfying the requirements of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the rules and regulations of the Commission thereto.

(xvii) No Manipulation of Price. None of the Obligors shall take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to constitute, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of any Obligor to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

The Representative, on behalf of the several Underwriters, may, in its sole discretion, waive in writing the performance by any Obligor of any one or more of the foregoing covenants or extend the time for their performance.

SECTION 4. Payment of Expenses. Each of the Obligors agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, (i) all expenses incident to the issuance and delivery of the Securities (including all printing and engraving costs), (ii) all necessary issue, transfer and other stamp taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities to the Underwriters, (iii) all fees and expenses of the Obligors’ counsel, independent public or certified public accountants and other advisors, (iv) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing, filing, shipping and distribution of the Registration Statement (including financial statements, exhibits, schedules, consents and certificates of experts, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto, and the Transaction Documents), (v) all filing fees and expenses incurred by the Obligors or the Underwriters in connection with qualifying or registering (or obtaining exemptions from the qualification or registration of) all or any part of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities laws of the several states of the United States, the provinces of Canada or other jurisdictions reasonably designated by the Underwriters (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters related to such qualification and registration and the cost of preparing, printing and mailing preliminary and final blue sky or legal investment memoranda and any related supplements to the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus), (vi) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the Securities, (vii) any fees payable in connection with the rating of the Securities with the ratings agencies, (viii) any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters in an amount that is not greater than $20,000 in connection with, the review, if any, by FINRA of the terms of the sale of the Securities, (ix) all fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of the Obligors in connection with approval of the Securities by the Depositary for “book-entry” transfer, and the performance by the Obligors of their respective other obligations under this Agreement, (x) all expenses incident to

the “road show” for the offering of the Securities, and (xi) one-half the cost of any airplane used in connection with the “road show.” Except as provided in this Section 4 and Sections 6, 8 and 9 hereof, the Underwriters shall pay their own expenses, including the fees and disbursements of their counsel and reimburse the Obligors for the other half of the cost of any airplane used in connection with the “road show” for the offering of the Securities incurred by the Obligors for which the Obligors are not responsible under clause (xi) above.

SECTION 5. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Securities as provided herein on the Closing Date shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Obligors set forth in Section 1 hereof as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as though then made and to the timely performance by the Obligors of their respective covenants and other obligations hereunder, and to each of the following additional conditions:

(i) there has been no change or any development involving a prospective change in the business, properties, management, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, the effect of which change or development is, in the sole judgment of the Representative, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering, sale or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in this Agreement and in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; and

(ii) there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded any of the Obligors or any of their respective securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act.

expense, as incurred, to which such Underwriter, affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Partnership), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or (ii) the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and to reimburse each Underwriter and each such affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by Xxxxx Fargo) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Representative on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in the penultimate sentence of Section 8(b). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Obligors may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Obligors. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Obligors, each of their respective directors and each person, if any, who controls an Obligor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which an Obligor or any such director or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Underwriter), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or (ii) the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and to reimburse each Obligor and

each such director or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by each Obligor or such director or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing). Each of the Obligors hereby acknowledge that the only information that the Underwriters through the Representative have furnished to the Partnership expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing) are the statements set forth in the table in the first paragraph, the first and third sentences of the third paragraph and the third sentence of the ninth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in such documents. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that the indemnifying party may have to an indemnified party other than under this Section 8. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, 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; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other

expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel (in each jurisdiction)), which shall be selected by Xxxxx Fargo (in the case of counsel representing the Underwriters or their related persons), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 8, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party’s entitlement to such reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

SECTION 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Obligors, on the one hand, and the

Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers and the total discount received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or any such inaccurate or alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the Obligors, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or inaccuracy.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8 hereof for purposes of indemnification.

The Obligors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 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 that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount received by such Underwriter in connection with the Securities distributed by it. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 9, each affiliate, director, officer and employee of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of any Obligor, and each person, if any, who controls any Obligor within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Obligors, as applicable.

SECTION 10. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representative by notice given to the Partnership if at any time: (i) trading or quotation in any of the Partnership’s securities shall have been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or by the NYSE, or trading in securities generally on either the Nasdaq Stock Market or the NYSE shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such quotation system or stock exchange by the Commission or FINRA; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall

have been declared by federal, New York or Delaware authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities involving the United States or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, if the effect of any such event specified in clauses (i) through (iii) is, in the sole judgment of the Representative, so material or adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering, sale or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in this Agreement and in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Any termination pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of (i) any Obligor to any Underwriter, except that the Obligors shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Underwriters pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 hereof, (ii) any Underwriter to any Obligor, or (iii) any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 4, 6, 8, 9 and 16 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

SECTION 11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Obligors, their respective officers and the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any Obligor or any of their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 17. Default of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on the Closing Date, and the aggregate number of Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the number of Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Underwriters with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on the Closing Date. If any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate number of Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Underwriters and the Partnership for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 4, 6, 8, 9 and 16 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Underwriters or the Issuers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 17. Any action taken under this Section 17 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

SECTION 18. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. Each of the Obligors acknowledges and agrees 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 Obligors, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, and each of the Obligors is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary of

Each Obligor hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claims that such Obligor 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 any Obligor by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. Each of the Obligors acknowledges 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 transactions 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.

Except as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Final Prospectus Supplement or, in the case of transfer restrictions, options to purchase, other rights to subscribe or to purchase, voting restrictions and preemptive rights, created by the Constitutive Documents of any Partnership Entity, there are no options, warrants, preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of, any equity interests in any Partnership Entity pursuant to any Constitutive Document of any Partnership Entity or any other SEC Document, other than those restrictions upon the transfer of equity interests created in connection with the Partnership’s or the Significant Subsidiaries’ credit facilities and indentures (including supplemental indentures thereto) constituting SEC Documents. Neither (i) the filing of the Registration Statement nor (ii) the offering or sale of the Notes as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement gives rise under any SEC Document to any preemptive right, right of first refusal or other similar right to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Partnership or Finance Corp.

None of the offering, issuance and sale by the Issuers of the Notes, the execution, delivery and performance by any of the Specified Entities of any of the Transaction Documents to which such Specified Entity is a party or the performance of the actions required to be taken by any of the Specified Entities pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents to which such Specified Entity is a party conflicts or will conflict with or constitute or will constitute a breach or violation of or a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default) under, or results or will result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, claim, encumbrance or other security interest upon any property or assets of any of the Partnership Entities (other than those created in connection with the Partnership’s or the Significant Subsidiaries’ credit facilities constituting SEC Documents) pursuant to, (i) any Constitutive Document of any of the Covered Entities, (ii) any SEC Document, (iii) the Included Laws (including Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or (iv) any order, judgment, decree or injunction of any court or governmental agency or body known to us directed to any of the Partnership Entities or any of their properties in a proceeding to which any of them or their property is a party; provided, however, that no opinion is expressed pursuant to this paragraph with respect to federal securities laws and other anti-fraud laws.

10.

11.

The statements set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Final Prospectus Supplement under the captions “Description of Notes,” “Description of Certain Other Indebtedness” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they summarize any agreement, statute or regulation or refer to statements of law or legal conclusions, are accurate and fair summaries in all material respects. The Notes conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Final Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of Notes.”

Exhibit X-0-0

00.

Xxxx of the Specified Entities is, either before or immediately after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Notes and the receipt of payment for the Notes on the date hereof as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Final Prospectus Supplement, required to be registered as an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

13.

The Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act (the “TIA”). The Indenture conforms in all material respects with the requirements of the TIA.

14.

The Notes, when authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuers, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Issuers in accordance with their respective terms under the Laws of the State of New York.

15.

The Indenture (including, with respect to the Guarantors, when the Notes have been duly and validly authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and duly and validly paid for by and delivered to the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the guarantee of the Guarantors in respect of the Notes provided for in Article XIV of the Base Indenture and Article Nine of the Supplemental Indenture) constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Guarantors, enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with its terms under the Laws of the State of New York.

16.

The Registration Statement was automatically effective under the Act on April 6, 2015. To our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened by the SEC; and any required filing of the Final Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been made in the manner and within the time period required by such Rule..

For purposes of this letter, we have assumed the information in the Final Prospectus Supplement of the type referred to in Rule 430B(f)(1) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Act was deemed to be a part of and included in the Registration Statement pursuant to such Rule 430B(f)(1) as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement; such date (the “Specified Effective Date”), in accordance with said Rule 430B(f), constitutes a new effective date with respect to such portions of the Registration Statement as provided for therein. Our identification of documents and information as part of the Disclosure Package has been at your request and with your approval. Such identification is for the limited purpose of making the statements set forth in this letter and is not the expression of a view by us as to whether any such information has been or should have been conveyed to investors generally or to any particular investors at any particular time or in any particular manner.

Exhibit B-1-5

Because the primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial and accounting information, and because many determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Final Prospectus Supplement are of a wholly or partially non-legal character, except as expressly set forth in paragraph (11) of this letter, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus Supplement, and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements.

However, in the course of our acting as counsel to the Partnership in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus Supplement and the Disclosure Package, we have reviewed each such document and have participated in conferences and telephone conversations with representatives of the Partnership, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Partnership, representatives of the Underwriters and representatives of the Underwriters’ counsel, during which conferences and conversations the contents of such documents and related matters were discussed.

Based on our participation in such conferences and conversations, our review of the documents described above, our understanding of the U.S. federal securities laws and the experience we have gained in our practice thereunder, we advise you that:

(a) Each of the Registration Statement (as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement), the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement (as of its date) and the Final Prospectus Supplement (as of its date) appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects with the requirements of the Act except that we express no view as to the antifraud provisions of the Act or the financial statements, the notes and schedules thereto and other financial and accounting information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Final Prospectus Supplement and the Statements of Eligibility and Qualification of the Trustee on Form T-1. The Incorporated Documents, at the time that they were filed (other than the financial statements, the notes and schedules thereto and other financial and accounting information included in the Incorporated Documents, as to which we express no opinion), appear on their face to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act except that we express no view as to the antifraud provisions of the Exchange Act. We have no knowledge of any documents that are required to be filed under the Act (but are not filed) as exhibits to the Registration Statement, or of any documents that are required under the Act to be (but are not) summarized in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Final Prospectus Supplement, except, in each case, we express no

Exhibit B-1-6

view as to (i) the antifraud provisions of the Act and (ii) the financial statements, the notes and schedules thereto and other financial and accounting information so required to be filed or summarized and the Statements of Eligibility and Qualification of the Trustee on Form T-1.

(b) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement as of the Specified Effective Date contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) the Disclosure Package, as of [●] (New York time) on August [●], 2017 (which you have informed us is a time prior to the time of the first sale of the Notes by any Underwriter), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading or (iii) the Final Prospectus Supplement, as of its date and as of the Closing Date, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that in the case of each of clauses (i)-(iii) above, we do not express any view as to the financial statements, the notes and schedules thereto and other financial and accounting information contained or incorporated by reference therein and the Statements of Eligibility and Qualification of the Trustee on Form T-1.
