jj. Environmental Laws. Expect as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, each Partnership Entity (i) is in compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to pollution or the protection of the environment or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning the use, handling, storage or management of any Hazardous Materials (as defined herein) (“Environmental Laws”), (ii) have received all permits required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses as presently conducted (“Environmental Permits”) except for any such Environmental Permits that are the responsibility of the charter parties under the Covered Agreements and that the Partnership Parties reasonably expect such charter parties to obtain, (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permits and (iv) do not have any liability in connection with any known or threatened release into the environment of any Hazardous Material, except in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Partnership Entities have reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities relating to the Vessels would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Partnership Parties, the parties to the Covered Agreements possess, or reasonably expect to possess in the ordinary course as necessary, the Environmental Permits that are the responsibility of the charter parties to obtain pursuant to the terms of the Covered Agreements.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not include any activities by Virtu as to which the Partnership Entities make no representations.

oo. Statistical and Market-Related Data. Any third-party statistical and market-related data included in a Registration Statement and the Prospectus are based on or derived from sources that the Partnership Parties believe to be reliable and accurate.

ss. Inapplicability of ERISA. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, none of the Partnership Parties has incurred or is reasonably likely to incur any material liability under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended that is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

uu. No Material Adverse Change in Business. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (excluding, however, any amendments or supplements thereto dated after the date hereof), since the end of the period covered by the latest audited financial statements included in the Registration Statement and Prospectus (i) there has been no change, nor any development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, business, properties or prospects of the Partnership Parties and their subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that has had a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) except as disclosed in or contemplated by the Registration Statement and Prospectus, there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Partnership Parties on any class of its capital stock or equity interests (other than dividends or distributions made to such entity’s direct or indirect parent), as applicable, and (iii) except as disclosed in or contemplated by the Registration Statement and Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change in the capital stock or equity interests, as applicable, short-term indebtedness, long-term indebtedness, net current assets or net assets of the Partnership Parties and their subsidiaries.

ww. PFIC Status. The Partnership does not believe it was a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) as defined in Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for the taxable year ended December 31, 2017 and, based on the Partnership’s current and projected income, assets and activities, the Partnership does not believe that it is likely to become a PFIC for any subsequent taxable year.

xx. Tax Status. The Partnership is treated as an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes as of the date hereof and will continue to be so treated as of the closing. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, each of the Partnership Entities has properly elected to be classified as disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for United States federal income tax purposes.

yy. Stamp Taxes. No stamp or other issuance or transfer taxes are payable by or on behalf of Virtu in connection with (A) the delivery of the Placement Securities in the manner contemplated herein or (B) the sale and delivery by Virtu of the Placement Securities as contemplated herein.

zz. Section 883 Exemption. Based upon the assumptions and subject to the limitations set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (or any documents incorporated by reference therein), the Partnership qualified for the exemption from United

States federal income tax with respect to its U.S. source international transportation income under Section 883 of the Code for the taxable year ending December 31, 2017 and will continue to so qualify for future tax years, provided that less than 50 percent of its Common Units are owned by “5-percent shareholders” (other than Dynagas Holding or its affiliates) as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.883-2(d)(3) for more than half the number of days during each such year.

aaa. Immunity. Under the laws of their jurisdiction of formation or incorporation none of the Partnership Parties, their direct or indirect subsidiaries or any of their respective properties has immunity from the jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal proceeding (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise).

bbb. Jurisdiction and Service of Process. The submission by the Partnership Parties in this Agreement to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York, Borough of Manhattan, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Partnership and service of process made in the manner set forth in this Agreement will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Partnership for purposes of proceedings in such courts under the laws of their respective jurisdiction of formation or incorporation.

ccc. Enforceability of Foreign Judgments. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Partnership Parties have agreed to submit to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the state of New York in which the relevant suit or proceeding may be instituted. Any final judgment for a fixed or readily calculable sum of money rendered in any state or federal court in the state of New York having jurisdiction in respect of any suit, action or proceeding against the Partnership Parties based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby would be declared enforceable against the Partnership Parties by the courts their respective jurisdiction of formation or incorporation of without reexamination of the merits of the cause of action in respect of which the original judgment was given or retrial of the matters adjudicated upon or payment of any stamp, registration or similar tax or duty; provided however, that the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands courts are not bound by a foreign judgment and have the right to review a case on the merits if a motion is made to the court to the effect that there is no merit to the case or the foreign court lacked jurisdiction.

Any certificate signed by an officer of the Partnership and delivered to Virtu or to counsel for Virtu, pursuant to or in connection Virtu as to the matters set forth therein.

7. Covenants of the Partnership Parties. The Partnership Parties covenant and agree with Virtu that:

a. Registration Statement Amendments. After the filing of the first Prospectus Supplement relating to the Securities, and during any period in which a prospectus relating to any Placement Securities is required to be delivered by Virtu under the Securities Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act) (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”) (i) the Partnership will notify Virtu promptly of the time when any subsequent amendment to the Registration Statement, other than documents incorporated by reference or amendments not related to any Placement, has been

filed with the Commission and/or has become effective or any subsequent supplement to the Prospectus has been filed and of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus related to the Placement or for additional information related to the Placement, (ii) the Partnership will prepare and file with the Commission, promptly upon Virtu’s request, any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that, in Virtu’s reasonable opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, may be necessary or advisable in connection with the distribution of the Placement Securities by Virtu (provided, however, that the failure of Virtu to make such request shall not relieve the Partnership of any obligation or liability hereunder, or affect Virtu’s right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Partnership in this Agreement; and provided, further, that the only remedy Virtu shall have with respect to the failure to make such filing shall be to cease making sales under this Agreement until such amendment or supplement is filed); (iii) the Partnership will not file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus relating to the Placement Securities or a security convertible into the Placement Securities (except for the Incorporated Documents) unless a copy thereof has been submitted to Virtu within a reasonable period of time before the filing and Virtu has not reasonably objected thereto (provided, however, that (A) the failure of Virtu to make such objection shall not relieve the Partnership of any obligation or liability hereunder, or affect Virtu’s right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Partnership in this Agreement and (B) the Partnership has no obligation to provide Virtu any advance copy of such filing or to provide Virtu an opportunity to object to such filing if the filing does not name Virtu or does not relate to the transaction herein provided; and provided, further, that the only remedy Virtu shall have with respect to the failure by the Partnership to obtain such consent shall be to cease making sales under this Agreement), and the Partnership will furnish to Virtu at the time of filing thereof a copy of any document that upon filing is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or Prospectus, except for those documents available via XXXXX; and (iv) the Partnership will cause each amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act, or in the case of any document to be incorporated therein by reference, to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to the Exchange Act, within the time period prescribed (the determination to file or not file any amendment or supplement with the Commission under this Section 7(a), based on the Partnership’s reasonable opinion or reasonable objections, shall be made solely by the Partnership).

b. Notice of Commission Stop Orders. During the term of this Agreement, Partnership will advise Virtu, promptly after it receives notice or obtains knowledge thereof, of the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, of the suspension of the qualification of the Placement Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such a stop order should be issued. The Partnership will advise Virtu promptly after it receives any request by the Commission for any amendments to the Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information related to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

c. Continued Compliance; Subsequent Changes. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Partnership will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations, as from time to time in force, and will file on or before their respective due dates all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Partnership with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, 15(d) or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act. If the Partnership has omitted any information from the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the provisions of and make all requisite filings with the Commission pursuant to said Rule 430A and to notify Virtu promptly of all such filings. If during the Prospectus Delivery Period any event occurs as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for Virtu or for the Partnership, to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such Prospectus Delivery Period it is necessary, in the opinion of such counsel, to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations, the Partnership will promptly notify Virtu to suspend the offering of Placement Securities during such period and the Partnership will promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus (at the expense of the Partnership) so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; provided, however, that the Partnership may delay the filing of any amendment or supplement, if in the judgment of the Partnership, it is in the best interest of the Partnership.

d. Listing; Blue Sky and Other Qualifications. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Partnership will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Placement Securities to be listed on the NYSE and to qualify the Placement Securities for offering and sale, or to obtain an exemption for the Securities to be offered and sold, under the securities laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as Virtu reasonably designates and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Placement Securities; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign limited partnership or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

e. Delivery of Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Partnership will furnish to Virtu and its counsel (at the reasonable expense of the Partnership) electronic copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference therein) and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that are filed with the Commission during the Prospectus Delivery Period (including all documents filed with the Commission during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), in each case as soon as reasonably practicable and in such quantities as Virtu may from time to time reasonably request and, at Virtu’s request, will also furnish copies of the Prospectus to each exchange or market on which sales of the Placement Securities may be made; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus) to Virtu to the extent such document is available on XXXXX.

f. Earnings Statement. The Partnership will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, an earnings statement of the Partnership (which need not be audited) that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) and Rule 158 of the Securities Act.

g. Use of Proceeds. The Partnership will use the Net Proceeds received by it from the sale of the Securities as described in the Prospectus in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds.”

h. Notice of Other Sales. During the period beginning on the date on which any Placement Notice is delivered to Virtu hereunder and ending on the Settlement Date with respect to Placement Securities sold pursuant to such Placement Notice (or, if the Placement Notice has been terminated or suspended prior to the sale of all Placement Securities covered by a Placement Notice, the date of such suspension or termination) the Partnership (A) shall provide Virtu written notice as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in any event, no less than three (3) Trading Days) before the Partnership, directly or indirectly, offers to sell, sells, contracts to sell, grants any option to sell or otherwise disposes of any Common Units (other than the Placement Securities offered pursuant to this Agreement) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Units, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire Common Units and (B) will not, without giving Virtu at least three business days’ notice, directly or indirectly in any other at the market or continuous equity transaction offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of any Common Units (other than the Placement Securities offered pursuant to this Agreement) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for d Units, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire Common Units prior to the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Partnership may, without notice to Virtu, (A) issue restricted stock units or stock awards, or Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of options or the exercise or vesting of other equity awards pursuant to any stock option, stock bonus or other stock or compensatory plan or arrangement of the Company described in the Prospectus; (B) 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; (C) issue or sell securities in connection with an acquisition, merger or sale or purchase of assets described in the Prospectus; (D) issue or sell Common Units upon conversion of securities or the exercise of warrants, options or other rights in effect or outstanding, and disclosed in filings by the Partnership available on XXXXX; (E) issue or sell securities pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan or direct stock purchase plan that the Company may adopt from time to time, provided that notice of such implementation is provided to Virtu in a timely manner; and (F) issue and sell Common Units, or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Units, offered and sold in a privately negotiated transaction to vendors, customers, strategic partners or potential strategic partners or other investors conducted in a manner so as not to be integrated with the offering of Common Units hereby. In the event that notice of a proposed sale is provided by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 7(h), Virtu may (and shall if requested by the Partnership) suspend activity under this Agreement for such period of time as may be requested by the Partnership or as may be deemed appropriate by Virtu.

i. Change of Circumstances. The Partnership Parties will, at any time during the pendency of a Placement Notice, advise Virtu promptly after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of any information or fact that would alter or affect in any

material respect any opinion, certificate, letter or other document required to be provided to Virtu pursuant to this Agreement.

j. Due Diligence Cooperation. During the term of this Agreement, the Partnership Parties will cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by Virtu or its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, providing information and making available documents and senior officers, during regular business hours and at the Partnership Parties’ respective principal offices, as Virtu may reasonably request.

k. Disclosure of Sales. After the filing of the first Prospectus Supplement relating to the Securities, the Partnership will disclose in its quarterly reports on Form 6-K and in its annual report on Form 20-F the aggregate number of Securities sold through Virtu pursuant to this Agreement, the Net Proceeds received by the Partnership with respect to all such sales pursuant to this Agreement, and the aggregate compensation payable by the Partnership to Virtu with respect to all such sales pursuant to this Agreement.

l. Representation Dates; Certificate. Each time during the term of this Agreement that the Partnership:

i. amends or supplements (other than a prospectus supplement relating solely to an offering of securities other than the Placement Securities) the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Securities, by means of a post-effective amendment, sticker, or supplement, but not by means of incorporation of documents by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Securities;

ii. files an annual report on Form 20-F under the Exchange Act (including any Form 20-F/A containing amended financial information or a material amendment to the previously filed Form 20-F); or

iii. furnishes its unaudited interim financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis on Form 6-K under the Exchange Act or any date on which an amendment to any such document is filed or furnished under the Exchange Act.

(Each date of filing of one or more of the documents referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) shall be a “Representation Date.”)

the Partnership shall furnish Virtu with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A within five (5) Trading Days of any Representation Date, provided, however, in the case of clause (i) above, the Partnership shall furnish Virtu with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A on or prior to delivery of the first Placement Notice relating to the Securities. The requirement to provide a certificate under this Section 7(1) shall be deemed waived by Virtu for any Representation Date occurring at a time at which no Placement Notice is pending, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Partnership delivers a Placement Notice hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date on which the Partnership files its annual report on Form 20-F. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) upon the delivery of the first Placement Notice hereunder and (ii) if the Partnership subsequently decides to sell Placement Securities following

a Representation Date when the Partnership relied on such waiver and did not provide Virtu with a certificate under this Section 7(1), then before Virtu sells any Placement Securities, the Partnership shall provide Virtu with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, dated the date of the Placement Notice.

m. Legal Opinions of Counsel.

n. Comfort Letter. (A) On or prior to the date of delivery of the first Placement Notice relating to the Securities and within five (5) Trading Days after the filing by the Partnership of an annual report on Form 20-F under the Exchange Act, the Partnership shall cause its independent accountants (and any other independent accountants whose report is included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, pursuant to Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X or otherwise) to furnish the Virtu letters (the “Comfort Letters”), dated the date that such Comfort Letter is delivered, which shall meet the requirements set forth in this Section 7(n); provided, that if requested by Virtu, the Partnership shall cause a Comfort Letter to be furnished to Virtu within ten (10) Trading Days of such request following the date of occurrence of any restatement of the Partnership’s financial statements. The Comfort Letter shall be in the form and substance customarily used by the Partnership’s independent accountants for transactions of this type and reasonably satisfactory to Virtu, (i) confirming that they are an independent public accounting firm within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Securities Act Regulations and the PCAOB, (ii) stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters in connection with registered public offerings (the first such letter, the “Initial Comfort Letter”) and (iii) updating the Initial Comfort Letter with any information that would have been included in the Initial Comfort Letter had it been given on such date and modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter.

violation of Regulation M, or pay anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Placement Securities other than Virtu.

p. No Offer to Sell. Other than a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, neither Virtu nor the Partnership (including its agents and representatives, other than Virtu, in its capacity as such) will make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication (as defined in Rule 405), required to be filed with the Commission, that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy Placement Securities hereunder.

11. Indemnification and Contribution.

a. Indemnification by the Partnership Parties. The Partnership Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless Virtu, its partners, members, directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls Virtu within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:

i. against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or

alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

ii. against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 11(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Partnership, which consent shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld; and

iii. against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above,

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by Virtu expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

b. Indemnification by Virtu. Virtu agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership Parties and each of its directors and officers of the General Partner who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who (i) controls the Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or (ii) is controlled by or is under common control with the Partnership against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 11(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendments thereto) or in any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to Virtu and furnished to the Partnership in writing by Virtu expressly for use therein.

c. Procedure. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 11 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 11, notify as promptly as reasonably practicable each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but failure to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i) any liability that it might have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 11 and (ii) any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provision of this Section 11 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the

indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly after the indemnifying party receives a written invoice relating to fees, disbursements and other charges in reasonable detail. An indemnifying party will not, in any event, be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 11 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (1) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

d. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 11 is applicable in accordance with its terms but is for any reason unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the total amount of such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages incurred by such indemnified party as incurred (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the indemnified party from persons other than any indemnified party, who also may be liable for

contribution) (A) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership Parties on the one hand and Virtu on the other hand from the offering of the Placement Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (B) if the allocation provided by clause (A) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (A) above but also the relative fault of the Partnership Parties on the one hand and of Virtu on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Partnership Parties or Virtu, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Partnership Parties and Virtu agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 11(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 11(d) shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this Section 11(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with Section 11(c) hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11(d), Virtu shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the commissions received by it under this Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 11(d), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and any officers, directors, partners, employees or agents of Virtu, will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each officer and director of the General Partner who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Partnership Parties, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 11(d), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 11(d) except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to the last sentence of Section 11(c) hereof, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 11(c) hereof.

12. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 11 of this Agreement and all representations and warranties of the Partnership herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive, as

of their respective dates, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of Virtu, any controlling persons, or the Partnership Parties (or any of their officers, directors or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Securities and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

13. Termination.

a. Termination; General. Virtu may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Partnership Parties, as hereinafter specified at any time (A) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the date as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any Material Adverse Effect, or any development that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or, in the sole judgment of Virtu, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to market the Placement Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Placement Securities, (B) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of Virtu, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Placement Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Placement Securities, (C) if trading in the Common Units has been suspended or limited by the Commission or the NYSE, or if trading generally on the NYSE has been suspended or limited, or minimum prices for trading have been fixed on the NYSE, (D) if any suspension of trading of any securities of the Partnership on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall have occurred and be continuing, (E) if a major disruption of securities settlements or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred and be continuing, or (F) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either U.S. Federal or New York authorities. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 9 (Payment of Expenses), Section 11 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 12 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 18 (Governing Law and Time; Waiver of Jury Trial) and Section 19 (Consent to Jurisdiction) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

b. Termination by the Partnership. The Partnership shall have the right, by giving three (3) days’ notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement.

Delivery), Section 18 (Governing Law and Time; Waiver of Jury Trial) and Section 19 (Consent to Jurisdiction) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

d. Automatic Termination. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Section 13, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the issuance and sale of all of the Securities through Virtu on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein except that the provisions of Section 9 (Payment of Expenses), Section 11 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 12 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 18 (Governing Law and Time; Waiver of Jury Trial) and Section 19 (Consent to Jurisdiction) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

e. Continued Force and Effect. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Section 13(a), (b), (c), or (d) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 9 (Payment of Expenses), Section 11 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 12 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 18 (Governing Law and Time; Waiver of Jury Trial) and Section 19 (Consent to Jurisdiction) shall remain in full force and effect. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Partnership Parties shall not have any liability to Virtu for any discount, commission or other compensation with respect to any Placement Securities not otherwise sold by Virtu under this Agreement.

f. Effectiveness of Termination. Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by Virtu or the Partnership Parties, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Securities, such Placement Securities shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

The Partnership represents, warrants and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of Virtu, and Virtu represents, warrants and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Partnership, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Placement Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by Virtu or by the Partnership, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Partnership represents and warrants that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. For the purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that all free writing prospectuses, if any, listed in Exhibit B hereto are Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses.

25. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Partnership Parties acknowledge and agree that:

a. Virtu is acting solely as agent in connection with the public offering of the Placement Securities and in connection with each transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the process leading to such transactions, and no fiduciary or advisory relationship between the Partnership Parties or any of its affiliates, unitholders (or other equity holders), creditors or employees or any other party, on the one hand, and Virtu, on the other

hand, has been or will be created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not Virtu has advised or is advising the Partnership Parties on other matters, and Virtu has no obligation to the Partnership Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement;

b. it is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

c. Virtu has not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and it has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate;

d. it is aware that Virtu and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Partnership Parties and Virtu has no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Partnership Parties by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship or otherwise; and

e. it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against Virtu for breach of fiduciary duty or breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the sale of Placement Securities under this Agreement and agrees that Virtu shall not have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to it in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on its behalf or in right of it or the Partnership Parties, employees or creditors of Partnership Parties, other than in respect of Virtu’s obligations under this Agreement and to keep information provided by the Partnership Parties to Virtu and Virtu counsel confidential to the extent not otherwise publicly-available.
