The Partnership has not made

4

any offer relating to the Units that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representatives. The Partnership has retained in accordance with the Rules and Regulations all Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses that were not required to be filed pursuant to the Rules and Regulations.

Each of the Partnership, the GP Entities and the Material Subsidiaries is duly registered or qualified as a foreign corporation, limited partnership, limited liability company or unlimited liability company, as the case may be, for the transaction of business under the laws of each jurisdiction (as set forth on Exhibit A to this Agreement) in which the character of the business conducted by it or the nature or location of the properties owned or leased by it makes such registration or qualification necessary, except where the failure so to register or qualify would not (i) reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the condition (financial or other), business, prospects, properties, net worth or results of operations of the Partnership’s direct or indirect majority owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) and the Partnership (collectively, the “Plains Entities”), taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”), or (ii) subject the limited partners of the Partnership to any material liability or disability.

          (m) Ownership of Material Subsidiaries.

          (b) Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Partnership hereby grants an option to the

13

several Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to 630,000 Option Units at the same purchase price per Unit as the Underwriters shall pay for the Firm Units set forth on Schedule I hereto. Said option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or before the 30th day after the date of the Prospectus upon written or telegraphic notice by the Representatives to the Partnership setting forth the number of Option Units as to which the several Underwriters are exercising the option and the settlement date. The number of Option Units to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the same percentage of the total number of Option Units to be purchased by the several Underwriters as such Underwriter is purchasing of the Firm Units, subject to (i) such adjustments as the Representatives in their absolute discretion shall make to eliminate any fractional shares and (ii) adjustment as set forth in Section 9 hereof.

          3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Firm Units and the Option Units (if the option provided for in Section 2(b) hereof shall have been exercised on or before the third business day prior to the Initial Delivery Date) shall be made at the office of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P., 0000 Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 at 9:00 a.m., Houston time, on November 19, 2010, or at such time on such later date not more than three business days after the foregoing date as the Representatives shall designate, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the Representatives and the Partnership or as provided in Section 9 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Units being herein called the “Initial Delivery Date”). Delivery of the Units shall be made to the Underwriters for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters against payment by the several Underwriters of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Partnership by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to an account specified by the Partnership. Delivery of the Firm Units and the Option Units shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

          If the option provided for in Section 2(b) hereof is exercised after the third business day prior to the Initial Delivery Date, the Partnership will deliver the Option Units (at the expense of the Partnership) to the Representatives on the date (an “Option Units Delivery Date”) specified by the Underwriters (which shall be within three business days after each exercise of said option), for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters, against payment by the several Underwriters of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Partnership by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to an account specified by the Partnership. If settlement for the Option Units occurs after the Initial Delivery Date, the Partnership will deliver to the Underwriters on the Option Units Delivery Date for the Option Units, and the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase the Option Units shall be conditioned upon receipt of, supplemental opinions, certificates and letters confirming as of such date the opinions, certificates and letters delivered on the Initial Delivery Date pursuant to Section 7 hereof. The Initial Delivery Date and any Option Units Delivery Date are each sometimes referred to as a “Delivery Date.”

          4. Offering by the Underwriters. It is understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer the Units for sale to the public as set forth in the Prospectus.

          5. Agreements of the Partnership. The Partnership acknowledges and agrees with the Underwriters that:

14

          (a) Post-Effective Amendments. If, at the Applicable Time, it is necessary for a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to be declared effective before the offering of the Units may commence, the Partnership will endeavor to cause such post-effective amendment to become effective as soon as possible and will advise the Representatives promptly and, if requested by the Representatives, will confirm such advice in writing when such post-effective amendment has become effective.

          (b) Preparation of Prospectus and Registration Statement. The Partnership will advise the Representatives promptly and, if requested by the Representatives, will confirm such advice in writing: (i) of any request by the Commission for amendment of or a supplement to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the suspension of qualification of the Units for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iii) within the period of time referred to in paragraph (e) below, of any change in the condition (financial or other), business, prospects, properties, net worth or results of operations of the Plains Entities, taken as a whole, or of the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) untrue or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act or the regulations thereunder to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which any such statements were made) not misleading, or of the necessity to amend or supplement the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Partnership will make every commercially reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time.

          (c) Copies of Registration Statement. The Partnership will furnish to the Underwriters, without charge, (i) one copy of the manually signed copy of the registration statement corresponding to the Commission’s electronic data gathering, analysis and retrieval system (“XXXXX”) version filed with the Commission and of each amendment thereto, including financial statements and all exhibits to the registration statement, (ii) such number of conformed copies of the registration statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto, but without exhibits, as the Underwriters or the Underwriters’ counsel may reasonably request, (iii) such number of copies of the Incorporated Documents, without exhibits, as the Underwriters may request, and (iv) such number of copies of the exhibits to the Incorporated Documents as the Underwriters may request.

          (d) Filing of Amendment or Supplement. For such period as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, the Partnership will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement, supplement to the Prospectus (or any other prospectus relating to the Units filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations that differs from the Prospectus as filed pursuant to such Rule 424(b)), or any Preliminary Prospectus or Issuer Free

15

Writing Prospectus of which the Representatives shall not previously have been advised or to which the Representatives shall have reasonably objected in writing after being so advised unless the Partnership shall have determined based upon the advice of counsel that such amendment, supplement or other filing is required by law; and the Partnership will promptly notify the Representatives after it shall have received notice thereof of the time when any amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective or when any supplement to the Prospectus has been filed.

          (e) Copies of Documents to the Underwriters. As soon after the Applicable Time as possible and thereafter from time to time for such period as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, the Partnership will expeditiously deliver to each Underwriter and each dealer that the Underwriters may specify, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or supplement thereto) as the Underwriters may reasonably request. At any time after nine months after the time of issuance of the Prospectus, upon request and without charge, the Partnership will deliver as many copies of an amended or supplemented Prospectus complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act as the Underwriters may reasonably request, provided that a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of Units by any Underwriter or dealer. The Partnership consents to the use of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the Units are offered by the Underwriters and by all dealers to whom Units may be sold, both in connection with the offering and sale of the Units and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer. If during such period of time any event shall occur that in the judgment of the Partnership or in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters and the Partnership is required to be set forth in the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) or should be set forth therein in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary to supplement or amend the Prospectus (or to file under the Exchange Act any document which, upon filing, becomes an Incorporated Document) to comply with the Securities Act or any other law, the Partnership will forthwith prepare and, subject to the provisions of paragraph (e) above, file with the Commission an appropriate supplement or amendment thereto (or to such document), and will expeditiously furnish to the Underwriters and dealers a reasonable number of copies thereof; provided that, if any such event necessitating a supplement or amendment to the Prospectus occurs at any time after nine months after the time of issuance of the Prospectus, such supplement or amendment shall be prepared at the Underwriters’ expense. In the event that the Partnership and the Representatives agree that the Prospectus should be amended or supplemented, the Partnership, if requested by the Representatives, will promptly issue a press release announcing or disclosing the matters to be covered by the proposed amendment or supplement unless the Partnership shall have determined, based on the advice of counsel, that the issuance of such press release would not be required by law.

          (f) Blue Sky Laws. The Partnership will cooperate with the Representatives and with counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the registration or qualification of the Units for offering and sale by the Underwriters and by dealers under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may reasonably designate and will file such

16

consents to service of process or other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to effect such registration or qualification; provided that in no event shall any Plains Entity be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Units, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject. The Partnership will promptly notify the Representatives of the receipt by the Partnership of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Units for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

          (g) Reports to Security Holders. In accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations, the Partnership will make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement (which need not be audited) in reasonable detail covering the 12-month period beginning not later than the first day of the month next succeeding the month in which occurred the effective date (within the meaning of Rule 158) of the Registration Statement as soon as practicable after the end of such period.

          (h) Copies of Reports. Unless otherwise available on XXXXX, during the period of two years hereafter, the Partnership will furnish or make available to the Underwriters (i) as soon as publicly available, a copy of each report of the Partnership mailed to unitholders or filed with the Commission or the principal national securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Units may be listed, and (ii) from time to time such other information concerning the Partnership as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

          (i) Termination Expenses. If this Agreement shall terminate or shall be terminated after execution pursuant to any provisions hereof (otherwise than pursuant to Section 9 hereof or Section 10 hereof (except pursuant to the first clause of Section 10(i))) or if this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Partnership to comply with the terms or fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Partnership agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters) incurred by the Underwriters in connection herewith.

          (j) Application of Proceeds. The Partnership will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Units in accordance with the description set forth under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

          (k) Filing of Prospectus. The Partnership will timely file the Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations and will advise the Underwriters of the time and manner of such filing.

          (l) Lock-Up Period. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Partnership will not (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction that is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Partnership or any of its controlled affiliates or any person in privity with the Partnership or any of its controlled affiliates) directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or

17

establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to, any Common Units or any securities that are convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Common Units or any securities that are senior to or pari passu with Common Units, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction or (ii) grant any options or warrants to purchase Common Units for a period of 45 days after the date of the Prospectus (the “Lock-Up Period”) without the prior written consent of the Representatives, except that (A) the Partnership may issue the Units, (B) the Partnership may issue Common Units or any securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Units as payment of any part of the purchase price for businesses that are acquired by the Partnership and its affiliates or any third parties, provided that any recipient of such Common Units must agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Section 5(l) for the remaining term of the Lock-Up Period, (C) the Partnership may issue and sell Common Units or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Units pursuant to any existing long-term incentive plan, employee unit option plan, unit ownership plan or dividend reinvestment plan of the Partnership (or adopted by a GP Entity) in effect at the Applicable Time, and (D) the Partnership may issue or deliver Common Units issuable upon the conversion, vesting or exercise of securities (including long-term incentive plan awards, options and warrants) outstanding at the Applicable Time.

          (m) Stabilization. Except as stated in this Agreement and the Prospectus, the Partnership has not taken, nor will it take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Units to facilitate the sale or resale of the Units.

          (n) Investment Company. The Partnership will take such steps as shall be necessary to ensure that none of the Plains Entities or the GP Entities shall become an “investment company” within the meaning of such term under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

          (o) Additional Capital Contributions. Upon the issuance of the Units by the Partnership, the General Partner shall make the additional capital contributions to the Partnership as required by Section 5.2(b) of the Partnership Agreement.

          (p) Exchange Act Reports. The Partnership, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act.

          (q) Free Writing Prospectuses. The Partnership has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Securities Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including appropriate legending and timely filing with the Commission or retention where required. The Partnership represents that it has satisfied and agrees that it will satisfy the conditions under Rule 433 under the Securities Act to avoid a requirement to file with the Commission any electronic road show. The Partnership agrees that if at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event occurred or occurs as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the most recent Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or would include an untrue

18

statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, the Partnership will give prompt notice thereof to the Representatives and, if requested by the Representatives, will prepare and furnish without charge to each Underwriter an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document that will correct such conflict, statement or omission; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Partnership by an Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, which information is specified in Section 12.

          6. Indemnification and Contribution.

          (a) The Partnership agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter, each affiliate of any Underwriter who has participated in the distribution of the Units as underwriters, each broker-dealer affiliate of any Underwriter and each other affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable costs of investigation), to which they or any of them became subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Rules and Regulations) not constituting an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (a “Non-Prospectus Road Show”) or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Non-Prospectus Road Show, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which any such statements were made) not misleading, and shall reimburse each Underwriter and each such director, officer, employee or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Underwriter, director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any such amendment or supplement thereto or in any Non-Prospectus Road Show, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Underwriter furnished to the Partnership through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information consists solely of the information specified in Section 12. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the Partnership may otherwise have to any Underwriter or to any director, officer, employee or controlling person of that Underwriter.

19

          (b) If any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any Underwriter, any director, officer, employee or agent of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Partnership, such Underwriter or such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person shall promptly notify the Partnership in writing, and the Partnership shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all reasonable fees and expenses. The failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from liability that it may have to an indemnified party unless the indemnifying party is foreclosed by reason of such delay from asserting a defense otherwise available to it. Such Underwriter or any such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in (but not control) the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter or such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person unless (i) the Partnership has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Partnership has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be defenses available to it or them that are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to the Partnership (in which case the Partnership shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events the Partnership shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as such fees and expenses are incurred (it being understood, however, that the Partnership shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one action, suit or proceeding or series of related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action, suit or proceeding).

          (c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, GP LLC’s directors and the officers who sign the Registration Statement, and any person who controls the Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to each Underwriter, but only with respect to information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Non-Prospectus Road Show, which information is limited to the information set forth in Section 12. If any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against the Partnership, any of such directors and officers or any such controlling person based on the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Non-Prospectus Road Show, and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any Underwriter pursuant to this paragraph (c), such Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Partnership by paragraph (b) above (except that if the Partnership shall have assumed the defense thereof such Underwriter shall not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and participate in (but not control) the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such Underwriter’s expense), and the Partnership, any of such directors and officers and any such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to the Underwriters by paragraph (b) above. The foregoing indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that the Underwriters may otherwise have.

20

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to an indemnified party under paragraph (a) or (c) hereof in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then an indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Units, 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 Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Partnership or any affiliate of the Partnership on the one hand, or by 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.

          (e) The Partnership and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by a 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 paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating any claim or defending any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price of the Units underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 6 are several and not joint.

          (f) No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does

offering of the Units; (v) the registration of the Common Units under the Exchange Act and the listing of the Units on the NYSE and any applicable listing or other similar fees; (vi) the registration or qualification of the Units for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of the several states as provided in Section 5(f) hereof (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters relating to the preparation, printing or reproduction, and delivery of the preliminary and supplemental Blue Sky Memoranda and such registration and qualification); (vii) any filing fees in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA; (viii) the transportation and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of officers and employees of GP LLC or the Partnership in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Units; and (ix) the fees and expenses of the Partnership’s accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Partnership.

          It is understood, however, that except as otherwise provided in this Section 8 or Section 5(i) hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on any resale of the Units by any Underwriter, any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make and the transportation and other expenses incurred by the Underwriters on their own behalf in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Units.

          9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Units that it or they are obligated to purchase hereunder on the Initial Delivery Date, and the aggregate number of Units that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters are obligated but fail or refuse to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Units that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on the Initial Delivery Date, each non-defaulting Underwriter shall be obligated, severally, in the proportion that the number of Firm Units set forth opposite its name in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate number of Firm Units set forth opposite the names of all non-defaulting Underwriters or in such other proportion as the Representatives may specify in accordance with the Agreement Among Underwriters of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. to purchase the Units that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters are obligated, but fail or refuse, to purchase. If any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Units that it or they are obligated to purchase on the Initial Delivery Date and the aggregate number of Units with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Units that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on the Initial Delivery Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Partnership for the purchase of such Units by one or more non-defaulting Underwriters or other party or parties approved by the Representatives and the Partnership are not made within five business days after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any party hereto (other than the defaulting Underwriter). In any such case that does not result in termination of this Agreement, either the Representatives or the Partnership shall have the right to postpone the Initial Delivery Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Option Units that it or they are obligated to purchase hereunder on the Option Units Delivery Date, each non-defaulting Underwriter shall be obligated, severally, in the proportion that the number of Firm Units set forth opposite its name in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate number of Firm Units set forth opposite the names of

34

all non-defaulting Underwriters or in such other proportion as the Representatives may specify in accordance with the Agreement Among Underwriters of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., to purchase the Option Units that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters are obligated, but fail or refuse, to purchase. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any such default of any such Underwriter under this Agreement. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement includes, for all purposes of this Agreement, any party not listed in Schedule I hereto who, with the Representatives’ approval and the approval of the Partnership, purchases Units that a defaulting Underwriter is obligated, but fails or refuses, to purchase.

          Any notice under this Section 9 may be given by telegram, telecopy or telephone but shall be subsequently confirmed by letter.

          10. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the Representatives’ absolute discretion, without liability on the part of any Underwriters to the Partnership, by notice to the Partnership, if prior to the Initial Delivery Date or any Option Units Delivery Date (if different from the Initial Delivery Date and then only as to the Option Units), as the case may be, (i) trading in the Common Units shall have been suspended by the Commission or the NYSE or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established; (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by federal or New York or Texas state authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, shall have occurred; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Underwriters, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Units as contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). Notice of such termination may be given to the Partnership by telegram, telecopy or telephone and shall be subsequently confirmed by letter.

          11. Notice; Successors. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5, 9 and 10 hereof, all communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to the Representatives c/o Citigroup Global Markets Inc., 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: General Counsel; or, if sent to the Partnership, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to (000) 000-0000 and confirmed to it at 000 Xxxx Xx., Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxx Xxxxx.

          This Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of the several Underwriters, the Partnership, their directors and officers, and the other controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof and their respective successors and assigns, to the extent provided herein, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. Neither the term “successor” nor the term “successors and assigns” as used in this Agreement shall include a purchaser from any Underwriter of any of the Units in his status as such purchaser.

35

          12. Information Furnished by the Underwriters. The Partnership acknowledges that the following statements set forth in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representatives as such information is referred to in Sections 1(c), 1(d), 1(f), 1(g), 5(q), 6(a) and 6(c) hereof: (A) the names of the Underwriters, (B) the table under the first paragraph under the heading “Underwriting,” (C) the sentence in the fourth paragraph under the heading “Underwriting” related to concessions and (D) the paragraphs under the heading “Underwriting—Price Stabilizations, Short Positions and Penalty Bids.”

          13. Research Analyst Independence. The Partnership acknowledges that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Partnership and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Partnership hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Partnership 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 Partnership by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. The Partnership 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.

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

          15. Headings. The Section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

          16. Effective Date of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

          17. No Fiduciary Duty. The Partnership acknowledges and agrees that in connection with this offering, sale of the Units or any other services the Underwriters may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Underwriters: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Partnership and any other person, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, exists; (ii) the Underwriters are not acting as advisors, expert or otherwise, to the Partnership, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the public offering price of the Units, and such relationship between the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the Partnership shall be limited to those duties

36

and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Partnership. The Partnership hereby waives any claims that it may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with this offering.

          18. Applicable Law; Counterparts. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York. This Agreement may be signed in various counterparts that together constitute one and the same instrument. If signed in counterparts, this Agreement shall not become effective unless at least one counterpart hereof shall have been executed and delivered on behalf of each party hereto.
