Section 6.04 Frustration of Closing Conditions. Prior to the End Date, none of the Sellers or Buyer may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Article VI to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such Party’s failure to use the standard of efforts required from such Party to comply with this Agreement and to consummate the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
TERMINATION

(c) By Buyer, by written notice to the Sellers, if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of either Seller set

Section 8.02 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or waived in any and all respects at any time prior to the Closing, if, but only if, such amendment, supplement or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment or supplement, by each Party or, in the case of a waiver, by each Party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 8.03 Costs and Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense.

Section 8.04 Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

(b) No Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other Party; provided that Buyer may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or this Agreement to any of its Affiliates; provided, further, that no such assignment or transfer shall relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment, delegation or transfer not permitted by this Section 8.04(b) is null and void.

Section 8.05 Governing Law. This Agreement and any other document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, termination, performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

Section 8.06 Jurisdiction. The Parties agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought exclusively in the Delaware Chancery Court and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court shall not have or declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or other Delaware state court), and each of the

Parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that service of process on such Party as provided in Section 8.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such Party.

Section 8.07 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 8.08 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other Parties. Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Parties, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 8.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether oral and written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 8.10 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable by any rule of law or public policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 8.11 Specific Performance; Remedies. The Parties agree that (i) irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that a Party does not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions and (ii) the right of the Parties to specific enforcement is an integral part of the Sale and

the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other Party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties are entitled at law or in equity. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (x) any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. If a Party seeks an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, it shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 8.12 No Section 13 Group. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Sellers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Buyer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, are not a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), and, therefore, neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall have any responsibility for or liability to the other or any other Person under Section 13 of the 1934 Act arising from or in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise related to the acquisition or disposition by or on behalf of the Buyer or its Affiliates of any Common Units (including the Transferred Units).

Section 8.13 Obligations. The obligations of the Sellers hereunder shall be joint and several.
