This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized and has been or validly executed and delivered by the Partnership, and constitutes, or will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Partnership, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and by general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, fair dealing and good faith.

The Purchased Units to be issued and sold by the Partnership to each Purchaser hereunder have been duly authorized in accordance with the Partnership Agreement and, when issued and delivered against payment therefor pursuant to this Agreement, will be validly issued in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, fully paid (to the extent required under the Partnership Agreement) and non-assessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 30, 41, 51 and 60 of the Xxxxxxxx Islands LP Act and the Partnership Agreement) and will be free of any and all Liens and restrictions on transfer, other than (i) restrictions on transfer under the Partnership Agreement or this Agreement and under applicable federal and state securities laws and (ii) such Liens as are created by the Purchasers.

Except as contemplated by the Partnership Agreement and the Existing Registration Rights Agreements, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Partnership and any Person granting such Person the right to require the Partnership to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of the Partnership or to require the Partnership to include such securities in any securities registered or to be registered pursuant to any registration statement filed by or required to be filed by the Partnership under the Securities Act.

Section 3.13 Periodic Reports. The Partnership’s forms, registration statements, reports, schedules and statements required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (all such documents filed prior to the date hereof, collectively the “Partnership SEC Documents”) have been filed with the Commission on a timely basis.

Section 3.14 Litigation. As of the date hereof, except as set forth on Schedule 3.13 hereto, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which any Partnership Entity is a party or to which any Property or asset of any Partnership Entity is subject that could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or which challenges the validity of this Agreement or the right of any Partnership Entity to enter into this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and, to the knowledge of the Partnership, no such proceedings are threatened by Governmental Authorities or others.

Section 3.15 Insurance. The Partnership and its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which they are engaged. The Partnership does not have any reason to believe that it or any Subsidiary will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business.

Section 3.16 Internal Accounting Controls. The Partnership and its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Partnership is not aware of any failures of such internal accounting controls.

Section 3.19 No Side Agreements. There are no agreements by, among or between the Partnership or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Purchaser or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than this Agreement nor promises or inducements for future transactions between or among any of such parties.

income tax purposes. Each of the Partnership Entities, other than the Partnership and the General Partner, is, or will pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3 timely and properly elect to be, classified as a disregarded entity if it has one owner or as a partnership if it has more than one owner for United States federal income tax purposes.

The Partnership agrees to indemnify each Purchaser and its Representatives (collectively, “Purchaser Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Partnership contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations or warranties is made prior to the expiration of such representations or warranties; and provided further, that no Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, indirect, incidental, consequential (including lost profits or diminution in value) or punitive damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, indirect, incidental and consequential damages shall not be deemed to include diminution in value of the Purchased Units to the extent resulting from, arising out of or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Partnership contained herein, which is specifically included in damages covered by the Purchaser Related Parties’ indemnification.

Section 6.2 Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify the Partnership, the General Partner and their respective Representatives (collectively, “Partnership Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of such Purchaser contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations and warranties is made prior to the expiration of such representations and warranties; and provided further, that no Partnership Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, indirect, incidental, consequential (including lost profits or diminution in value) or punitive damages.

Section 6.3 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after any Partnership Related Party or Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle any such action or claim, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (B) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are

different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.

Exhibit A – Form of Opinion of Xxxxxxx Coie LLP

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Common Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Partnership shall furnish to the Purchasers at the Closing an opinion of Xxxxxxx Coie LLP, counsel for the Partnership, addressed to the Purchasers and dated the Closing Date in form reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers, stating that:

(i) To our knowledge, except as described in the Partnership SEC Documents filed prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement, there are no outstanding options, warrants, or agreements for the purchase or acquisition from the Partnership of Partnership securities or ownership interests in the Partnership, or rights to convert any obligations into or exchange any securities for Partnership securities or ownership interests in the Partnership.

(ii) No consent, approval, authorization or other action by, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the issuance and sale by the Partnership of the Purchased Units, the execution, delivery and performance by the Partnership of the Agreement or the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, except for those that have been obtained or as may be required under state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, as to which we do not express any opinion.

(iii) To our knowledge, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between any of the Partnership Entities and any person granting such person the right to require any of the Partnership Entities to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of the Partnership owned or to be owned by such person or to require any of the Partnership Entities to include such securities in any securities being registered pursuant to any other registration statement filed by any Partnership Entity under the Securities Act, except for any such rights held by the General Partner or an Affiliate (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of the General Partner pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and except for such rights granted pursuant to the Existing Registration Rights Agreements.

(iv) None of the offering, issuance and sale by the Partnership of the Purchased Units, the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by the Partnership, or the completion of the transactions contemplated thereby conflicts with or constitutes 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 filed as an exhibit to the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013, or the Quarterly Reports on Form 6-K for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2014 (including any document filed as an exhibit to any document incorporated by reference therein). (We do not comment or opine as to compliance with any financial covenants or financial ratios contained in any such documents.)

Exhibit A to Common Unit Purchase Agreement

(v) The Partnership is not, and after giving effect to the use of proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Units pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(vi) We confirm that the Common Units of the Partnership are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and, consequently, the Purchased Units, when issued and delivered by the Partnership pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, will be “covered securities” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act.

Exhibit A to Common Unit Purchase Agreement

Exhibit B – Form of Opinion of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Common Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Partnership shall furnish to the Purchasers at the Closing an opinion of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, special Xxxxxxxx Islands and New York counsel for the Partnership, addressed to the Purchasers and dated the Closing Date in form reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers, stating that:

(i) Each of the Partnership and the Operating Company has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a limited partnership under the law of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands, 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 Partnership SEC Documents.

(ii) Each of the General Partner and the OLP GP has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a limited liability company under the law of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands, and each has the limited liability company 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 Partnership SEC Documents.

(iii) Each of the entities listed in Schedule A to such opinion (the “Xxxxxxxx Islands Significant Subsidiaries”) is validly existing in good standing as a limited liability company or corporation, as applicable, under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law, and each has the limited liability company or corporate power, as applicable, and authority to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business, in each case in all material respects as described in the Partnership SEC Documents.

(iv) The Purchased Units and the limited partner interests represented thereby have been duly authorized in accordance with the Partnership Agreement and, when issued and delivered to the Purchasers against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid (to the extent required under the Partnership Agreement) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 30, 41, 51 and 60 of the Xxxxxxxx Islands LP Act and except as may otherwise be provided in the Partnership Agreement).

(v) Except as described in the Partnership SEC Documents and except as contained in Articles V, XV and XVI of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership Agreement does not contain any preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase any limited partner interests in the Partnership.

(vi) The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the offering, issuance and sale by the Partnership of the Purchased Units in accordance with and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, do not (A) conflict with or constitute a violation of the organizational documents of the Partnership, the General Partner, the Operating Company, the OLP GP or the Xxxxxxxx Islands Significant Subsidiaries, (B) conflict with or constitute a breach or violation of,

Exhibit B to Common Unit Purchase Agreement

or a default under (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default), the agreements or instruments governed by Xxxxxxxx Islands Law or New York Law and listed on a schedule to such opinion, (C) violate Xxxxxxxx Islands Law or New York Law, or (D) violate any judgment, order or decree of which we are aware of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority situated in the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands directed to any of the Partnership, the General Partner, the Operating Company, the OLP GP or the Xxxxxxxx Islands Significant Subsidiaries in a proceeding before such court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority in the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands to which any of them is a party.

(vii) No permit, consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, filing or qualification of or with any court, governmental agency or body of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands having jurisdiction over the Partnership, the General Partner, the Operating Company, the OLP GP or the Xxxxxxxx Islands Significant Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Agreement by the General Partner in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, the performance of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Partnership Entities or the performance by the Partnership of its obligations hereunder, including the offering, issuance and sale by the Partnership of the Purchased Units in accordance with and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.

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

(ix) The Agreement has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the General Partner in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Partnership, enforceable against the Partnership in accordance with its terms. This opinion (x) is subject to the qualifications that: (i) the enforceability of the rights and remedies of any party to the Agreement (a) may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies from time to time in effect, (b) is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including application by a court of competent jurisdiction of principles of good faith, fair dealing, commercial reasonableness, materiality, unconscionability, impracticability, impossibility of performance and conflict with public policy or other similar principles and (c) may be limited by public policy, the possible judicial application of foreign laws or governmental action affecting the rights of creditors, applicable law relating to fiduciary duties and indemnification and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, (ii) we express no opinion relating to any provision of the Agreement that purport to waive damages or other remedial provisions contained in the Agreement including specific performance, (iii) we express no opinion relating to severability or separability, (iv) we express no opinion relating to any provision of the Agreement that purport to require that any amendments, waivers or terminations be in writing or the disregard of any course of dealing or usage of trade and (v) we express no opinion relating to any provision of the Agreement that relate to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement obligations to the extent any such provisions (x) would purport to require any person to provide indemnification, contribution or reimbursement in respect of the negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful or wrongful behavior of any person, (y) violate any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation) or (z) are determined to be contrary to public policy.
