17
Section 4.3 No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Documents by such Purchaser and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby will not (a) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser is bound or to which any of the Property or assets of such Purchaser is subject, (b) conflict with or result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of such Purchaser, or (c) violate any statute, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over such Purchaser or the property or assets of such Purchaser, except in the cases of clauses (a) and (c), for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults as would not prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.

Section 4.8 Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased Units are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Partnership in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is knowledgeable with respect to Rule 144 of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act.
Section 4.9 Legend. Such Purchaser understands that any certificates evidencing the Purchased Units will bear the legend required by the Partnership Agreement as well as the following legend: “THE UNITS EVIDENCED BY THIS ADVICE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM AND, IN EACH CASE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS.” Purchased Units held in book-entry accounts shall bear a notation of such restrictive legend.

Section 4.13 Purchaser Investigation; Partnership Projections. Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has made its own inquiry and investigation into, and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning the Partnership and its businesses and operations and prospects, and such Purchaser has been furnished with or given full access to such information about the Partnership and its businesses and operations as it requested.

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.

If any provision in the Operative Documents is held to be illegal, invalid, not binding, or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the Operative Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, not binding, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of the Operative Documents, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The Operative Documents have been reviewed and negotiated by sophisticated parties with access to legal counsel and shall not be construed against the drafter.
Section 7.2 Survival of Provisions. The representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.6, 3.9, 3.10 (first sentence), 3.17, 4.4, 4.5, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, and 4.13 hereunder shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement indefinitely, and the other representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Partnership or any Purchaser. The covenants and agreements made in this Agreement, including the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article VII, or any other Operative Document shall survive the Closing of the transactions described herein and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of acceptance of any of the Purchased Units and payment therefor and repayment, conversion, exercise or repurchase thereof. All indemnification obligations of the Partnership and the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement and the provisions of Article VI shall remain operative and in full force and effect unless such obligations are expressly terminated in a writing by the parties, regardless of any purported general termination of this Agreement.
Section 7.3 No Waiver; Modifications in Writing.
(a) Delay. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a party at law or in equity or otherwise.
(b) Specific Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, waiver, consent, modification, or termination of any provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Document shall be effective unless signed by each of the parties thereto. Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Document, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Document, and any consent to any departure by the Partnership from the terms of any provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Document shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on the Partnership in any case shall entitle the Partnership to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
23
Section 7.4 Binding Effect; Assignment.
(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Partnership, the Purchasers, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(b) Assignment of Rights. All or any portion of the rights and obligations of any Purchaser under this Agreement may be transferred by such Purchaser to any Affiliate of such Purchaser without the consent of the Partnership. No portion of the rights and obligations of any Purchaser under this Agreement may be transferred by such Purchaser to a non-Affiliate without the prior written consent of the Partnership (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Partnership). As a condition to any assignment hereunder, the assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. The Partnership may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Person, except as expressly set forth herein.
Section 7.5 Communications. All notices and demands provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, telecopy, air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery or personal delivery to the following addresses:
(a) | If to any Purchaser: |
To its respective address listed on Schedule B hereof
(b) | If to the Partnership: |
4th Floor, Belvedere Building

or to such other address as the Partnership or such Purchaser may designate in writing. All notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; upon actual receipt if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or regular mail, if mailed; when receipt acknowledged, if sent via facsimile; and upon actual receipt when delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.
Section 7.6 Removal of Legend. In connection with a sale of the Purchased Units by a Purchaser in reliance on Rule 144, the applicable Purchaser or its broker shall deliver to the Partnership a broker representation letter providing to the Partnership any information the Partnership deems necessary to determine that the sale of the Purchased Units is made in compliance with Rule 144, including, as may be appropriate, a certification that the Purchaser is not an Affiliate of the Partnership and regarding the length of time the Purchased Units have been held. After a registration statement under the Securities Act permitting the public resale of the Purchased Units has become effective or any Purchaser or its permitted assigns have held the Purchased Units for six months, if the certificate for such Purchased Units or the book-entry account of such Purchased Units still bears the notation of the restrictive legend referred to in Section 4.9, the Partnership agrees, upon request of the Purchaser or permitted assignee, to take all steps reasonably necessary to promptly effect the removal of the legend from the Purchased Units, and the Partnership shall bear all costs associated therewith, regardless of whether the request is made in connection with a sale or otherwise, so long as such Purchaser or its permitted assigns provide to the Partnership any information the Partnership deems necessary to determine that the legend is no longer required under the Securities Act or applicable state laws, including (if there is no such registration statement) a certification that the holder is not an Affiliate of the Partnership (and a covenant to inform the Partnership if it should thereafter become an Affiliate and to consent to exchange its certificates for certificates bearing an appropriate restrictive legend) and regarding the length of time the Purchased Units have been held. Assuming a registration statement is effective or the Purchased Units have been held for greater than six months, whether held in certificated form or in book entry with the transfer agent, the Partnership agrees that upon request, it shall cooperate with the Purchaser to have the Purchased Units moved to such Purchaser’s DTC custodial or brokerage account according to the instructions provided by such Purchaser.
Section 7.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Operative Documents and the other agreements and documents referred to herein are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein or the other Operative Documents with respect to the rights granted by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates or any Purchaser or any of its Affiliates set forth herein or therein. This Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the other agreements and documents referred to herein or therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
25
Section 7.8 Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts laws thereof that would apply the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Section 7.9 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, including facsimile or .pdf format counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
Section 7.10 Termination.
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated at any time at or prior to the Closing by (i) with respect to any particular Purchaser, the written notice by such Purchaser to the Partnership upon a breach in any material respect by the Partnership of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or (ii) with respect to any particular Purchaser, written notice by the Partnership to such Purchaser upon a breach in any material respect by such Purchaser of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of this Agreement with respect to any particular Purchaser shall not affect the Agreement with respect to any other Purchaser.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall automatically terminate (i) at any time at or prior to the Closing if a statute, rule, order, decree or regulation shall have been enacted or promulgated, or if any action shall have been taken by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction that permanently restrains, permanently precludes, permanently enjoins or otherwise permanently prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or makes the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or (ii) if the Closing shall not have occurred by July 15, 2016.
(c) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in this Section 7.10, (1) this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void as to the applicable Parties, and (2) there shall be no liability on the part of such Parties hereto, except as set forth in Sections 5.3 and Article VI of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from any liability or obligation with respect to any willful breach of this Agreement.
Section 7.11 Recapitalization, Exchanges, Etc. Affecting the Common Units. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the full extent set forth herein with respect to any and all equity interests of the Partnership or any successor or assign of the Partnership (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for or in substitution of, the Common Units, and shall be appropriately adjusted for combinations, recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing.
Section 7.12 Disclosure. Each Purchaser agrees not to disclose information about this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby until and to the extent the Partnership publicly discloses such information. The Partnership shall disclose on Commission Form 6-K, within four Business Days of the date of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

Schedule 3.13 – Litigation
See Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 10(h) and (i)– Commitments and Contingencies, in the Partnership’s Form 6-K for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Exhibit A – Form of Registration Rights Agreement
Exhibit B – 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 contemplated by the Series C Transaction, the Series D Offering and 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) All consents, approvals, authorizations or other orders of, or registrations or filings on the part of the Partnership with, any United States federal or New York governmental or regulatory authority required for the Partnership’s execution and delivery of the Operative Documents and the consummation of the Transactions, including the offering, issuance and sale of the Purchased Units, have been made or obtained, other than (a) those required by the Commission in connection with the Partnership’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement and (b) 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 Teekay Entities and any person granting such person the right to require any of the Teekay Entities to file a registration statement under the Act with respect to any securities of the Partnership owned or to be owned by such person or to require any of the Teekay Entities to include such securities in any securities being registered pursuant to any other registration statement filed by any Teekay Entity under the Act, except for the Registration Rights Agreement, the Series D Registration Rights Agreement, the Existing Registration Rights Agreements, and 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.
(iv) The Partnership’s offering, issuance and sale of the Purchased Units and the Partnership’s execution and delivery of the Operative Documents and consummation of the Transactions do not (i) breach or result in a default under (or constitute an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default) any Material Agreement, or (ii) violate statutory U.S. federal laws or the laws of the State of New York that counsel exercising customary professional judgment would in our experience reasonably recognize as typically applicable to agreements similar to the Operative Documents and the Transactions. “Material Agreement” means any indenture, contract, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument filed by the Partnership as an exhibit to the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Commission on April 18, 2016.
(v) Assuming the Operative Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Partnership, each of the Operative Documents will constitute a valid and legally binding agreement of the Partnership, enforceable against the Partnership in accordance with its terms.
(vi) Based in part upon the Partnership’s and the Purchasers’ representations and warranties in, and on the facts and circumstances contemplated by, the Purchase Agreement, the offer, issuance and sale of the Purchased Units by the Partnership to the Purchasers pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement do not require registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act. (We do not comment or opine as to any subsequent sale of the Purchased Units).
(vii) The Partnership is not, and immediately after giving effect to the use of proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Units pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will not be, required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Exhibit C – 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 counsel relating to Xxxxxxxx Islands law 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, VII, XI, 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, 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 and listed on a schedule to such opinion, (C) violate Xxxxxxxx Islands 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 by the General Partner in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership.
