The Capital Parties and the Underwriters agree as follows:

1. Sale and Purchase. Upon the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Partnership agrees to issue and sell to the respective Underwriters and each of the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Partnership the number of Firm Units set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I attached hereto, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 8 hereof at a purchase price of $8.42 per Unit. The Partnership is advised by you that the Underwriters intend (i) to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Firm Units as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement as in your judgment is advisable and (ii) initially to offer the Firm Units upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus. You may from time to time increase or decrease the public offering price after the initial public offering to such extent as you may determine.

In addition, the Partnership hereby grants to the several Underwriters the option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase, and upon the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Partnership, ratably in accordance with the number of Firm Units to be purchased by each of them, all or a portion of the Additional Units as may be necessary to cover over-allotments made in connection with the offering of the Firm Units, at the same purchase price per unit to be paid by the Underwriters to the Partnership for the Firm Units. The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised by the Representatives on behalf of the several Underwriters at any time and from time to time on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the Prospectus Supplement, by written notice to the Partnership. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Additional Units as to which the Over-Allotment Option is being exercised and the date and time when the Additional Units are to be delivered (any such date and time being herein referred to as an “additional time of purchase”); provided, however, that no additional time of purchase shall be earlier than the “time of purchase” (as defined below) nor earlier than the second business day after the date on which the Over-Allotment Option shall have been exercised nor later than the tenth business day after the date on which the Over-Allotment Option shall have been exercised. The number of Additional Units to be sold to each Underwriter shall be the number which bears the same proportion to the aggregate number of Additional Units being purchased as the number of Firm Units set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule I hereto bears to the total number of Firm Units (subject, in each case, to such adjustment as the Representatives may determine to eliminate fractional Units), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 8 hereof.

2. Payment and Delivery. Payment of the purchase price for the Firm Units shall be made to the Partnership by Federal Funds wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Partnership against delivery of the certificates for the Firm Units to you through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for the respective accounts of the Underwriters. Such payment and delivery shall be made at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on February 26, 2010 (unless another time shall be agreed to by you and the Partnership or unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof). The time at which such payment and delivery are to be made is hereinafter sometimes called the “time of purchase.” Electronic transfer of the Firm Units shall be made to you at the time of purchase in such names and in such denominations as you shall specify.

Payment of the purchase price for the Additional Units shall be made at the additional time of purchase in the same manner and at the same office and time of day as the payment for the Firm Units. Electronic transfer of the Additional Units shall be made to you at the additional time of purchase in such names and in such denominations as you shall specify.

7. Effective Date of Agreement; Termination. This Agreement shall become effective when the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Agreement.

The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Partnership, prior to the Time of Purchase or the Additional Time of Purchase, if any, (1) since the time of execution of this Agreement or the earlier respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectuses, the Prospectus and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, there has been any change or any development involving a prospective change in the business, properties, management, financial condition or results of operations of the Capital Entities taken as a whole, the effect of which change or development is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectuses, the Prospectus and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, or (2) since the time of execution of this Agreement, there shall have occurred: (A) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the NYSE or the NASDAQ Global Market; (B) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Partnership’s securities on the NASDAQ Global Market; (C) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (D) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or a declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war; or (E) any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (D) or (E), in the sole judgment of the Representatives, makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectuses, the Prospectus and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any.

If the Representatives elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 7, the Capital Parties and each other Underwriter shall be notified promptly in writing.

If the sale to the Underwriters of the Units, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement, or if such sale is not carried out because the Capital Parties shall be unable to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, the Capital Parties shall not be under any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 4(l), 5 and 9 hereof), and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to the Capital Parties under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 9 hereof) or to one another hereunder.

8. Increase in Underwriters’ Commitments. Subject to Sections 6 and 7 hereof, if any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to take up and pay for the Firm Units to be purchased by it hereunder (otherwise than for a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6 hereof or a reason sufficient to justify the termination of this Agreement under the provisions of Section 7 hereof) and if the number of Firm Units which all Underwriters so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for does not exceed 10% of the total number of Firm Units, the non-defaulting Underwriters (including the Underwriters, if any, substituted in the manner set forth below) shall take up and pay for (in addition to the aggregate number of Firm Units they are obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 1 hereof) the number of Firm Units agreed to be purchased by all such defaulting Underwriters, as hereinafter provided. Such Shares shall be taken up and paid for by such non-defaulting Underwriters in such amount or amounts as you may designate with the consent of each Underwriter so designated or, in the event no such designation is made, such Shares shall be taken up and paid for by all non-defaulting Underwriters pro rata in proportion to the aggregate number of Firm Units set forth opposite the names of such non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule I.

Without relieving any defaulting Underwriter from its obligations hereunder, the Partnership agrees with the non-defaulting Underwriters that it will not sell any Firm Units hereunder unless all of the Firm Units are purchased by the Underwriters (or by substituted Underwriters selected by you with the approval of the Partnership or selected by the Partnership with your approval).

If a new Underwriter or Underwriters are substituted by the Underwriters or by the Capital Parties for a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters in accordance with the foregoing provision, the Capital Parties or you shall have the right to postpone the time of purchase for a period not exceeding five business days in order that any necessary changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and other documents may be effected.

The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include any Underwriter substituted under this Section 8 with like effect as if such substituted Underwriter had originally been named in Schedule I hereto.

If the aggregate number of Firm Units which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase exceeds 10% of the total number of Firm Units which all Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, and if neither the non-defaulting Underwriters nor the Partnership shall make arrangements within the five business day period stated above for the purchase of all the Firm Units which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate without further act or deed and without any liability on the part of the Capital Parties to any Underwriter and without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter to the Capital Parties. Nothing in this paragraph, and no action taken hereunder, shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

9. Indemnity and Contribution.

(a) The Capital Parties, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, directors, officers, members, employees and agents, any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Act) of such Underwriter, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, any such Underwriter or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Partnership) or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives to the Partnership expressly for use in, the Registration Statement or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was required to be stated in such Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Prospectus (the term Prospectus for the purpose of this Section 9 being deemed to include any Basic Prospectus, any Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to the foregoing), in any Covered Free Writing Prospectus, in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Act) of the Partnership or in any Prospectus together with any combination of one or more of the Covered Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission 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, except, with respect to such Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives to the Partnership expressly for use in, such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Capital Parties, their directors and officers and any person who controls the Capital Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Capital Parties or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives to the Partnership expressly for use in, the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Capital Parties), or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Registration Statement in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was required to be stated in such Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives to the Capital Parties expressly for use in, a Prospectus or a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against a person (an “indemnified party”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Capital Parties or an Underwriter (as applicable, the “indemnifying party”) pursuant to subsection (a) or (b), respectively, of this Section 9, such indemnified party shall promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and such indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which such indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party or otherwise, unless such lack of notice substantially prejudices the indemnifying party as determined in a final judgement by a court of competent jurisdiction. The indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or the indemnifying party shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party to defend such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party (in which case such indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such indemnifying party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with its written consent, such indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party or parties from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. 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 the second sentence of this Section 9(c), then 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 60 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have fully reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 9 or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Capital Parties 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 Capital Parties on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Capital Parties on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Units. The relative fault of the Capital Parties on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Capital Parties or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

(e) The Capital Parties 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 subsection (d) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Units underwritten by such Underwriter and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damage which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 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 in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 and the covenants, warranties and representations contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, or any of their respective partners, directors, officers, members, employees or agents or any person (including each partner, officer, director, member employee or agent of such person) who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Capital Parties, their respective directors or officers or any person who controls the Capital Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and this Section 9 and Section 3 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Units. The Capital Parties and each Underwriter agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Capital Parties, against any of their officers or directors in connection with the issuance and sale of the Units, or in connection with the Registration Statement, any Basic Prospectus, any Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.

10. Information Furnished by the Underwriters. The statements set forth in the table setting forth the allocation of Firm Units to be purchased by each Underwriter pursuant to this Agreement and the statements in the paragraphs under the headings “Commissions and Expenses” and “Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids” under the caption “Underwriting” in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, only insofar as such statements relate to the amount of selling concession or to over-allotment and stabilization activities that may be undertaken by the Underwriters, constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of the Underwriters, as such information is referred to in Sections 3 and 9 hereof.

11. Notices. Except as otherwise herein provided, all statements, requests, notices and agreements shall be in writing or by telegram or facsimile and, if to the Underwriters, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent to UBS Securities LLC, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000-0000, Attention: Syndicate Department and Citigroup Global Markets Inc, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: General Counsel; and if to the Capital Parties, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent to the Partnership at 0 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 Xxxxxx, attention of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx.

12. Governing Law; Construction. This Agreement and any claim, counterclaim or dispute of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement (“Claim”), directly or indirectly, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The section headings in this Agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference and are not a part of this Agreement.

13. Submission to Jurisdiction. Except as set forth below, no Claim may be commenced, prosecuted or continued in any court other than the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the adjudication of such matters, and the Capital Parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with respect thereto. The Capital Parties hereby consent to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any court in which any Claim arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement is brought by any third party against any Underwriter or any indemnified party. Each Underwriter and each Capital Party (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its equityholders and affiliates) waive all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Capital Parties each agrees that a final judgment in any such action, proceeding or counterclaim brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Capital Parties and may be enforced in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Capital Parties are or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.

14. Parties at Interest. The Agreement herein set forth has been and is made solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and the Capital Parties and to the extent provided in Section 9 hereof the controlling persons, partners, directors, officers, members and affiliates referred to in such Section, and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, personal representatives and executors and administrators. No other person, partnership, association or corporation (including a purchaser, as such purchaser, from any of the Underwriters) shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.

15. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Capital Parties each hereby acknowledge that the Underwriters are acting solely as underwriters in connection with the purchase and sale of the Partnership’s securities. The Capital Parties further acknowledge that the Underwriters are acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis, and in no event do the parties intend that the Underwriters act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Capital Parties, their respective management, equityholders or creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that the Underwriters may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Partnership’s securities, either before or after the date hereof. The Underwriters hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary or similar obligations to the Capital Parties, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the Capital Parties each hereby confirm their understanding and agreement to that effect. The Capital Parties and the Underwriters agree that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views expressed by the Underwriters to the Capital Parties regarding such transactions, including, but not limited to, any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the Partnership’s securities, do not constitute advice or recommendations to the Capital Parties. The Capital Parties and the Underwriters agree that the Underwriters are acting as principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Capital Parties and no Underwriter has assumed, and none of them will assume, any advisory responsibility in favor of the Capital Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Capital Parties on other matters). The Capital Parties each hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that they may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary, advisory or similar duty to the Capital Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed by the parties in one or more counterparts which together shall constitute one and the same agreement among the parties.

17. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Underwriters and the Capital Parties and their successors and assigns and any successor or assign of any substantial portion of the Capital Parties’ and any of the Underwriters’ respective businesses and/or assets.

18. Miscellaneous. UBS Securities LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG, is not a bank and is separate from any affiliated bank, including any U.S. branch or agency of UBS AG. Because UBS Securities LLC is a separately incorporated entity, it is solely responsible for its own contractual obligations and commitments, including obligations with respect to sales and purchases of securities. Securities sold, offered or recommended by UBS Securities LLC are not deposits, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, are not guaranteed by a branch or agency, and are not otherwise an obligation or responsibility of a branch or agency.

FORM OF OPINION AND LETTER OF CRAVATH, SWAINE & XXXXX LLP,

U.S. COUNSEL TO THE PARTNERSHIP

Form of Opinion:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Capital Product Partners L.P., a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited partnership (the “Company”), in connection with the purchase by the several Underwriters (the “Underwriters”) listed in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement dated February 23, 2010 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among UBS Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representatives of the Underwriters (the “Representatives”), the Company, Capital GP L.L.C., a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited liability company (the “General Partner”), and Capital Product Operating L.L.C., a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited liability company (the “Operating Company”, and together with the Company and the General Partner, the “Capital Parties”) from the Company of an aggregate of 5,800,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Company (the “Common Units”).

In that connection, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion, including: (a) the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-153274) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 29, 2008 (the “Registration Statement”), for registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) of $300,000,000 aggregate amount of Common Units of the Company, to be issued from time to time by the Company, and 11,304,651 Common Units, to be sold from time to time by the Selling Unitholders, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Commission on October 1, 2008; (b) the related Prospectus dated October 1, 2008 (together with the documents incorporated therein by reference, the “Basic Prospectus”); (c) the Prospectus Supplement dated February 23, 2010, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act (together with the Basic Prospectus, the “Prospectus”); (d) the documents and other information described in Annex A to this letter (together, the “Specified Disclosure Package”), (e) the Underwriting Agreement; and (e) the agreements specified on Schedule 1 hereto (collectively, the “Specified Agreements”). We have also relied upon advice from the Commission that the Registration Statement initially became effective on October 1, 2008. We have relied, with respect to certain factual matters, on the representations and warranties of the Capital Parties and the Underwriters contained in the Underwriting Agreement, and have assumed compliance by each such party with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

Ex A-1

Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth herein, we are of opinion as follows:

1. Insofar as matters of U.S. Federal law and New York State law are concerned, to our knowledge, (a) there is no pending or threatened action, suit, or proceeding before any court or governmental agency or authority or any arbitrator against the Company of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement or Prospectus which is not adequately disclosed as required, and (b) there is no contract, indenture, lease or other document of a character required to be described in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or to be filed as an exhibit, which is not described or filed as required.

2. No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to, consent of, order of, or filing with, any United States Federal or New York governmental authority is required to be made or obtained by the Capital Parties for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, other than (i) those that have been obtained or made under the Securities Act, (ii) those that may be required under the Securities Act in connection with the use of a “free writing prospectus” and (iii) those that may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Common Units by the Underwriters.

3. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each party to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriting Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of each of the Capital Parties, enforceable against each such Capital Party in accordance with its respective terms, except that (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) any indemnity, contribution and exoneration provisions contained in the Underwriting Agreement may be limited by applicable laws.

4. None of the offering, issuance and sale by the Company of the Common Units, the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, or the performance by the Capital Parties of their obligations under the Underwriting Agreement (i) conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes 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 any of the Specified Agreements, or (ii) violates or will violate any law, rule or regulation of the United States of America, the State of New York or, to our knowledge, any order or decree of any U.S. Federal or New York court or government agency or instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Capital Parties or any of their properties.

5. The statements made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Commission on February 4, 2010, under the caption “Item 7. Major Unitholders and Related-Party Transaction.—B. Related-Party Transactions—Transactions entered into during the year ended December 31, 2007—4. Omnibus Agreement”, accurately summarize in all material respects the portions of the Omnibus Agreement addressed thereby.

6. The opinion of Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP dated February 23, 2010 and filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration Statement is confirmed and the Underwriters may rely upon such opinion as if it were addressed to them.

Ex A-2

7. The Registration Statement initially became effective under the Securities Act on October 1, 2008, and thereupon the offering of the Common Units as contemplated by the Prospectus became registered under the Securities Act; 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 are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act.

8. To our knowledge, there are no persons with registration rights or other similar rights to have any securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, other than the General Partner and its Affiliates within the meaning of, and pursuant to, the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Company, as amended.

9. After giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement and the offering and sale of Common Units and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus, none of the Capital Entities will be required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

We express no opinion with respect to compliance with, or the application or effect of, Federal or state securities laws except to the extent set forth in paragraphs (2) and (7).

We express no opinion with respect to compliance with, or the application or effect of, any laws or regulations relating to admiralty or the ownership or operation of shipping vessels to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject or the necessity of any authorization, approval or action by, or any notice to, consent of, order of, or filing with, any governmental authority, pursuant to any such laws or regulations.

We are admitted to practice in the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the laws of the State of New York and the Federal laws of the United States of America. In particular, we do not purport to pass on any matter governed by the laws of the Xxxxxxxx Islands, Liberia, [Greece] or England.

In rendering this opinion, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the correctness of, and take no responsibility for (1) the opinion dated February 26, 2010, of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx (New York) LLP, Xxxxxxxx Islands and Liberia counsel for the Company, a copy of which has been delivered to you pursuant to paragraph (b) of Section 6 of the Underwriting Agreement, (2) the opinion dated February 26, 2010, of X.X. Xxxxxxxxxxx & Partners, Greek counsel for the Company, a copy of which has been delivered to you pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 6 of the Underwriting Agreement, (3) the opinion dated February 26, 2010, of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, English counsel for the Company, a copy of which has been delivered to you pursuant to paragraph (d) of Section 6 of the Underwriting Agreement.

We are furnishing this opinion to you, as Representatives, solely for your benefit and the benefit of the several Underwriters. This opinion may not be relied upon by any other person (including by any person that acquires the Common Units from the several Underwriters) or for any other purpose. It may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose.

Form of 10b-5 Letter:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Capital Product Partners, L.P., a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited partnership (the “Company”), in connection with the purchase by the several Underwriters (the “Underwriters”) listed in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement dated February 23, 2010 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among UBS Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representatives of the Underwriters (the “Representatives”), the Company, Capital GP L.L.C., a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited liability company, and Capital Product Operating L.L.C., a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited liability company, from the Company of an aggregate of 5,800,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Company (the “Common Units”).

In that capacity, we participated in conferences with certain officers of, and with the accountants and foreign counsel for, the Company concerning the preparation of the Prospectus Supplement dated February 23, 2010 (together with the related Basic Prospectus (as defined herein), the “Prospectus”), relating to the Common Units, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The Prospectus was filed as part of the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-153274) filed with the Commission on August 29, 2008 for registration under the Securities Act of $300,000,000 aggregate amount of Common Units of the Company, to be issued from time to time by the Company, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Commission on October 1, 2008 (the “Registration Statement”), which Registration Statement includes a prospectus dated October 1, 2008 (together with the documents incorporated therein by reference, the “Basic Prospectus”), and we have assumed for purposes of this letter that the information in the Prospectus of the type referred to in Rule 430B(f)(1) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act was deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement pursuant thereto as of the Applicable Time referred to below. For the purposes of this letter we have also reviewed the documents and other information described in Annex A to this letter (together, the “Specified Disclosure Package”). Our identification of information as part of the Specified 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.

Although we have made certain inquiries and investigations in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Specified Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the limitations inherent in the role of outside counsel are such that we cannot and do not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the statements made in the Registration Statement, the Specified Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except insofar as such statements relate to us and except to the extent set forth in paragraph 5 of our opinion to you dated the date hereof. Subject to the foregoing, we confirm to you, on the basis of information gained in the course of the performance of the services rendered above, that each of, the Registration Statement, at the time it was last amended or deemed to be amended, and the Prospectus, as of the date hereof, appeared or appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, except that we do not express any view as to the financial statements and other information of a statistical, accounting or financial nature included therein. Furthermore, subject to the foregoing, we hereby advise you that our work in connection with this matter did not disclose any information that gave us reason to believe that: the Registration Statement (insofar as relevant to the offering contemplated by the Prospectus), at the time the Registration Statement was last amended or deemed to be amended, 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 Prospectus, as of its date or at the date hereof, included or includes, an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits 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 or (iii) the Specified Disclosure Package, considered together as of 8:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) on February 23, 2010 (the “Applicable Time”), included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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, except that, in each case, we do not express any view as to the financial statements and other information of a statistical, accounting or financial nature included therein.

Ex A-4

We are furnishing this letter to you, as Representatives, solely for the benefit of the several Underwriters in order to assist the several Underwriters in establishing appropriate defenses under applicable securities laws. This letter may not be relied upon by any other person (including by any person that acquires the Common Units from the several Underwriters) or for any other purpose. It may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose.

FORM OF OPINION OF XXXXXX, XXXXXX & XXXXXXXX (NEW YORK) LLP,

XXXXXXXX ISLANDS AND LIBERIA COUNSEL TO THE PARTNERSHIP

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as special counsel for Capital Product Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”), Capital GP L.L.C. (the “General Partner”), Capital Product Operating L.L.C. (the “Operating Company”) and each of the operating subsidiaries listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Operating Subsidiaries”) on matters of the law of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands (“Xxxxxxxx Islands Law”) and, solely for the purposes of paragraphs 4, 9, 10 and 13 hereof, the law of the Republic of Liberia (“Liberian Law”), in connection with the issuance and sale by the Partnership of up to 6,670,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Units”) pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-153274) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 29, 2008 (the “Registration Statement”), for registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of $300,000,000 aggregate amount of Units of the Partnership, to be issued from time to time by the Partnership, and 11,304,651 Units, to be sold from time to time by the selling unitholders, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Commission on October 1, 2008.

This opinion is being delivered to you at the request of the Partnership in accordance with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, dated February 23, 2010 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between you, the Partnership, the General Partner and the Operating Company.

As such counsel, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of the following documents:

(i)	the Registration Statement;

(ii)	the related Prospectus dated October 1, 2008 (together with the documents incorporated therein by reference, the “Basic Prospectus”);

(iii)

the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement dated February 22, 2010, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Act (together with the Basic Prospectus, the “Preliminary Prospectus”);

(iv)	the Prospectus Supplement dated February 23, 2010, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Act (together with the Basic Prospectus, the “Prospectus”);

(v)	the information listed on Schedule 2 attached hereto ( such information together with the Preliminary Prospectus, the “Disclosure Package”);

(vi)	the limited liability company agreement of the General Partner;

Ex B-1

(vii)

the partnership agreement of the Partnership, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”);

(viii)

the limited liability company agreement of the Operating Company (the “Operating Company LLC Agreement”);

(ix)	the Underwriting Agreement; and

(x)

such other papers, documents, agreements, certificates of public officials and certificates of representatives of the Partnership, Operating Company, the General Partner, Epicurus Shipping Company (the “Drop Down Subsidiary”), a Xxxxxxxx Islands corporation, and the Operating Subsidiaries and other affiliates of the Partnership as we have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions hereafter expressed.

In such examination, we have assumed: (i) the legal capacity of each natural person, (ii) the legal existence and capacity of all non-natural persons (other than the Partnership, the Operating Company, the General Partner, the Drop Down Subsidiary and each of the Operating Subsidiaries), (iii) the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iv) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as conformed or photostatic copies, (v) that there have been no undisclosed modifications, either written, verbal or otherwise, of any provision of any document reviewed by us in connection with the rendering of the opinions set forth herein, (vi) the completeness of each document submitted to us and (vii) the truthfulness of each statement as to all factual matters otherwise not known to us to be untruthful contained in any document or certificate encompassed within the due diligence review undertaken by us. We have further assumed the validity and enforceability of the Underwriting Agreement.

As to matters of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have relied upon the representations and certificates of officers or representatives of the Partnership, the Operating Company, the General Partner, the Drop Down Subsidiary and the Operating Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Capital Entities”) as we have deemed relevant and appropriate and public officials and upon the representations and warranties of the Partnership, the General Partner and the Operating Company (collectively, the “Capital Parties”) in the Underwriting Agreement. We have not independently verified the facts so relied on.

This opinion is limited to Xxxxxxxx Islands Law, other than paragraphs 4, 9, 10 and 13 below for which we also opine on Liberian Law. We do not express any opinion on Xxxxxxxx Islands or Liberian securities or “blue sky” laws. In rendering our opinion as to the valid existence in good standing of each of the Partnership, the Operating Company, the General Partner, the Operating Subsidiaries and the Drop Down Subsidiary, we have relied solely on Certificates of Good standing issued by the Registrar of Corporations of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands on February [●], 2010 and related bring down certificates dated the date hereof. In rendering our opinion as to the registration of vessels under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law or Liberian Law, as the case may be, and the identity of the vessel’s registered owner, we have relied solely on Certificates of Ownership and Encumbrance issued by the Office of the Maritime Administrator for the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands (in the case of a Xxxxxxxx Islands registered vessel) and Certificates of Ownership and Encumbrance issued by the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Maritime Affairs of the Republic of Liberia (in the case of a Liberian registered vessel), in each case on February [●], 2010.

Ex B-2

As used herein, the phrase “to our knowledge” and “of which we are aware” means the actual knowledge, based on conscious awareness of facts or other information, by any lawyer in our firm involved in the preparation of this opinion or actively involved in advising or assisting the Partnership in the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement.

Based on the foregoing and having regard to legal considerations which we deem relevant, and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

(1)

The Partnership has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a limited partnership under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law, and has the limited partnership power and authority to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business, in each case in all material respects, as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(2)

The General Partner has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a limited liability company under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law, and has the limited liability company power and authority to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business in all material respects as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, including the power and authority to act as general partner of the Partnership.

(3)

The Operating Company has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a limited liability company under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law, and has the limited liability company power and authority to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business in all material respects as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(4)

Each of the Operating Subsidiaries and the Drop Down Subsidiary is validly existing in good standing as a corporation under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law or Liberian Law, as the case may be, and each has the corporate power and authority to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business, in each case in all material respects as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(5)

The General Partner owns of record a 2% general partner interest in the Partnership and is the sole general partner of the Partnership. Such general partner interest has been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. To our knowledge, the General Partner beneficially owns its general partner interest in the Partnership free and clear of all pledges, liens, encumbrances, security interests or other claims, except (i) as otherwise described in, referred to or disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, (ii) any liens pursuant to credit agreements, security agreements or financing documents described in, referred to or disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, and (iii) restrictions on transferability contained in the relevant organizational documents or under applicable securities laws, as applicable (collectively, the “Claim Exceptions”).

(6)

As of February [●], 2010, the issued and outstanding limited partner interests of the Partnership were 24,817,151 Units, the Incentive Distribution Rights (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) were outstanding and the issued and outstanding general partner interests of the Partnership were 506,472 general partner units.

Ex B-3

(7)

The Partnership owns of record a 100% membership interest in the Operating Company. Such membership interest has been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the Operating Company LLC Agreement and is fully paid (to the extent required under the Operating Company LLC Agreement) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Section 31 of the Xxxxxxxx Islands Limited Liability Company Act and subject to the provisions of the Operating Company LLC Agreement), and to our knowledge, the Partnership beneficially owns such membership interests free and clear of all pledges, liens, encumbrances, security interests or other claims, except for the Claim Exceptions.

(8)

The Operating Company owns of record 100% of the outstanding capital stock of each Operating Subsidiary. Such capital stock has been authorized and issued in accordance with the Operating Subsidiaries’ organizational documents and is fully paid (to the extent required under each of the Operating Subsidiaries’ organizational documents) and nonassessable (subject to the provisions of such organizational documents), and, to our knowledge, the Operating Company beneficially owns such capital stock free and clear of all pledges, liens, encumbrances, security interests or other claims, except for the Claim Exceptions.

(9)

Except as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any documents referenced therein, there are no preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of any of, (i) any limited partner interests in the Partnership, (ii) any membership interests in the General Partner or the Operating Company or (iii) any equity interests in any of the Operating Subsidiaries or the Drop Down Subsidiary, in each case pursuant to the organizational documents of such entity. To our knowledge and except as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, there are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase (i) any Units, Incentive Distribution Rights or other interests in the Partnership, (ii) any membership interests in the General Partner or the Operating Company, or (iii) any shares of capital stock of the Operating Subsidiaries or the Drop Down Subsidiary.

(10)

The Partnership has all requisite limited partnership power and authority to execute and deliver the Underwriting Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, including issuing, selling and delivering the Units in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. Each of the Capital Parties has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver the Underwriting Agreement, and to perform its obligations thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

(11)	The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by each of the Capital Parties.

Ex B-4

(12)	Each of the vessels listed on Schedule 3 hereto is registered in the sole ownership of the applicable Operating Subsidiary set forth on such schedule under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law or Liberian Law, as the case may be.

(13)

The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the offering, issuance and sale by the Partnership of the Units as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, do not and will not (i) conflict with or constitute a violation of any of the organizational documents of any of the Capital Entities, (ii) conflict with or constitute a breach or violation of, or a default under (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default) any indenture, contract, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument governed by Xxxxxxxx Islands Law and listed on Schedule 4 hereto, (iii) violate Xxxxxxxx Islands Law, or (iv) violate any order, judgment, decree or injunction of which we are aware of any court or governmental agency or body situated in, the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands directed to any of the Capital Entities or any of their respective properties in a proceeding to which any of them or their property is a party.

(14)

To our knowledge, no permits, consents, approvals, orders, registrations, qualifications, licenses, franchises, concessions, certificates and authorizations of, or declarations or filings with, any governmental or regulatory authorities of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands are required for any of the Capital Entities to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business in the manner described in the Registration Statement, Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, other than such permits, consents, approvals, orders, registrations, qualifications, licenses, franchises, concessions, certificates, authorizations, declarations and filings with any governmental or regulatory authorities of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands currently held or previously obtained, applied, received or filed by any of the Capital Entities.

(15)

No permit, consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, filing or qualification under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law is required for the execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, including the offering, issuance and sale by the Partnership of the Units.

(16)

The statements in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Common Units—The Units,” “Description of Common Units—Transfer of Common Units,” “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Xxxxxxxx Islands Taxation,” “Non-United States Tax Consequences, and “Service of Process and Enforcement of Civil Liabilities,” and the statements in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009 under the caption “Item 8. Financial Information—Cash Distribution Policy” and the statements in the Partnership’s Form 8-A under the captions “Our Cash Distribution Policy and Restrictions on Distributions,” “How We Make Cash Distributions” and “The Partnership Agreement,” each as may be amended or supplemented by statements in the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package, insofar as they constitute summaries of agreements governed by Xxxxxxxx Islands Law, fairly summarize in all material respects the portions of agreements addressed thereby, and insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of Xxxxxxxx Islands Law or legal conclusions of Xxxxxxxx Islands Law, fairly describe in all material respects the portions of the statutes and regulations addressed thereby, subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated therein.

Ex B-5

(17)	The choice of New York law to govern the Underwriting Agreement constitutes a valid choice of law under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law.

(18)	The submission by the Partnership to the jurisdiction of any state court in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York is a valid submission under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law.

(19)

A judgment granted by a foreign court against the Partnership may be enforced in the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands without a retrial on the merits of the matter, so long as the foreign judgment grants or denies recovery of a sum of money, and is final and conclusive and enforceable where rendered even though an appeal therefrom is pending, or subject to appeal, unless: (i) the judgment was rendered under a system which does not provide impartial tribunals or procedures compatible with the requirements of due process of law, (ii) the foreign court did not have personal jurisdiction over the defendant, (iii) the foreign court did not have jurisdiction over the subject matter, (iv) the foreign court does not recognize or enforce the judgments of any other foreign nation, (v) the defendant in the proceedings in foreign court did not receive notice of the proceedings in sufficient time to enable him to defend, (vi) the judgment was obtained by fraud, (vii), the cause of action on which the judgment is based is repugnant to the public policy of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands, (viii) the judgment conflicts with another final and conclusive judgment, (ix) the proceeding in the foreign court was contrary to an agreement between the parties under which the dispute in question was to be settled otherwise than by proceedings in the court, or (x) in the case of jurisdiction based only on personal service, the foreign court was a seriously inconvenient forum for the trial of the action.

This opinion may not, without our prior written consent, be used or relied upon by any person other than the Underwriters.

FORM OF OPINION OF X.X. XXXXXXXXXXX & PARTNERS,

GREEK COUNSEL TO THE PARTNERSHIP

Dear Sirs:

10b-5 Statement of Irina Taka

General Counsel of Capital Maritime & Trading Corp

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I, Irina Taka, General Counsel of Capital Maritime & Trading Corp., a Xxxxxxxx Islands Corporation (“Capital Maritime”), which holds a 100% membership interest in Capital GP L.L.C., a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited liability company, which is the general partner of Capital Product Partners, L.P., a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited partnership (the “Company”), have acted in that capacity in connection with the purchase by the several Underwriters (the “Underwriters”) listed in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement dated February 23, 2010 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among UBS Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representatives of the Underwriters (the “Representatives”), the Company, Capital GP L.L.C., a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited liability company, and Capital Product Operating L.L.C., a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited liability company, from the Company of an aggregate of 5,800,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Company (the “Common Units”).

In that capacity, I participated in conferences with certain officers of, and with the accountants and foreign counsel for, the Company concerning the preparation of the Prospectus Supplement dated February 23, 2010 (together with the related Basic Prospectus (as defined herein), the “Prospectus”), relating to the Common Units, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The Prospectus was filed as part of the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-153274) filed with the Commission on August 29, 2008 for registration under the Securities Act of $300,000,000 aggregate amount of Common Units of the Company, to be issued from time to time by the Company, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Commission on October 1, 2008 (the “Registration Statement”), which Registration Statement includes a prospectus dated October 1, 2008 (together with the documents incorporated therein by reference, the “Basic Prospectus”), and I have assumed for purposes of this letter that the information in the Prospectus of the type referred to in Rule 430B(f)(1) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act was deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement pursuant thereto as of the Applicable Time referred to below. For the purposes of this letter I have also reviewed the documents and other information described in Annex A to this letter (together, the “Specified Disclosure Package”). My identification of information as part of the Specified 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 me 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.

Although I have made certain inquiries and investigations in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Specified Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, I cannot and do not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the statements made in the Registration Statement, the Specified Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Subject to the foregoing, I confirm to you, on the basis of information gained in the course of the performance of the services rendered above and as General Counsel of Capital Maritime, that each of, the Registration Statement, at the time it was last amended or deemed to be amended, and the Prospectus, as of the date hereof, appeared or appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, except that I do not express any view as to the financial statements and other information of a statistical, accounting or financial nature included therein. Furthermore, subject to the foregoing, I hereby advise you that my work in connection with this matter did not disclose any information that gave me reason to believe that: the Registration Statement (insofar as relevant to the offering contemplated by the Prospectus), at the time the Registration Statement was last amended or deemed to be amended, 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 Prospectus, as of its date or at the date hereof, included or includes, an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits 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 or (iii) the Specified Disclosure Package, considered together as of 8:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) on February 23, 2010 (the “Applicable Time”), included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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, except that, in each case, I do not express any view as to the financial statements and other information of a statistical, accounting or financial nature included therein.

Ex E-1

I am furnishing this letter to you, as Representatives, solely for the benefit of the several Underwriters in order to assist the several Underwriters in establishing appropriate defenses under applicable securities laws. This letter may not be relied upon by any other person (including by any person that acquires the Common Units from the several Underwriters) or for any other purpose.

Dear Sirs:

The undersigned understands that you, as the Underwriters (the “Underwriters”), propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Capital Parties providing for the purchase by you of common units, each representing a limited partner interest in the Partnership (the “Common Units”), and that the Underwriters propose to reoffer the Common Units to the public (the “Offering”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Underwriting Agreement.

In consideration of the execution of the Underwriting Agreement by you, and for other good and valuable consideration, the undersigned hereby irrevocably agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, the undersigned will not, for a period of 60 days (the “Lock-Up Period”) from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, directly or indirectly, (1) offer for sale, sell, pledge, announce the intention to sell or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any Common Units (including, without limitation, Common Units that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission that may be issued upon exercise of any option or warrant) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Units owned by the undersigned (the “Lock-Up Securities”) on the date of execution of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement or on the date of the completion of the Offering, (2) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of such Common Units, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Units or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (3) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

Ex F-1

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Representatives, provided that (1) the Representatives receive a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the lock-up period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) such transfers are not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or otherwise and (4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers:

(i) as a bona fide gift or gifts; or

(ii)

to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); or

(iii)

to the undersigned’s affiliates or

(iv)

to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if:

(1) during the period that being on the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days plus three (3) business days before the last day of the Lock-Up Period and ends on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Partnership occurs; or

(2) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period,

then, the restrictions imposed by this Lock-Up Agreement shall continue to apply until the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days plus three (3) business days after the date on which the issuance of the earnings release or material news or material event occurs, as applicable, unless the Representatives waive, in writing, such extension.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Partnership and its Transfer Agent are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.

It is understood that, if the Partnership notifies you that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, if the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective, or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Common Units, the undersigned will be released from his obligations under this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.

The undersigned understands that the Partnership and the Underwriters intend to proceed with the Offering in reliance on this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.

Whether or not the Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Partnership and the Underwriters.

Ex F-2

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Letter Agreement and that, upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents necessary in connection with the enforcement hereof. Any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs and personal representatives of the undersigned.

Yours very truly,
