Units”). The Partnership also proposes to grant to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to
660,000 additional Common Units to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Option Units;” the
Firm Units and the Option Units being hereinafter collectively called the “Units”). To the
extent there are no additional Underwriters listed in Schedule I other than you, the term
Representatives as used herein shall mean you, as Underwriters, and the terms Representatives and

interest in Teekay Offshore Operating GP L.L.C., a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited liability company (the
“OLP GP”). The OLP GP owns a 0.01% general partner interest in the Operating Company.
The General Partner, the Partnership, the OLP GP, the Operating Company and the Operating
Subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Teekay Entities.” The

collectively as the “Teekay Parties.”
Each of the entities set forth in Schedule II as being owned directly or indirectly by

Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by

1. Representations and Warranties of the Teekay Parties. Each of the Teekay Parties, jointly
and severally, represents and warrants to each Underwriter and agrees with each Underwriter that:
(a) Registration. The Partnership meets the requirements for use of Form F-3 under the Act
and has prepared and filed with the Commission a registration statement (File Number 333-150682) on
Form F-3, including a related base prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and
sale of the Units. The Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto filed prior to the
Applicable Time, has become effective. The Partnership may have filed one or more amendments
thereto, including one or more Preliminary Prospectuses, each of which has previously been
furnished to you. The Partnership will file with the Commission a final prospectus in accordance
with Rule 424(b). As filed, such Prospectus shall contain all information required by the Act and
the rules thereunder and, except to the extent the Representatives shall agree in writing to a
modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the
Applicable Time or, to the extent not completed at the Applicable Time, shall contain only such
specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Base Prospectus and
any Preliminary Prospectus) as the Partnership has advised you, prior to the Applicable Time, will
be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, at the Applicable Time, meets the
requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x). The Commission has not issued any order preventing or
suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration
2
Statement, and no proceeding or examination for such purpose has been instituted or, to the
knowledge of the Teekay Parties, threatened by the Commission.
(b) No Material Misstatements or Omissions in Registration Statement, Prospectus or Documents
Incorporated by Reference. On each Effective Date, the Registration Statement did, and when the
Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date (as defined
herein) and on any date on which Option Units are purchased hereunder, if such date is not the
Closing Date (an “Option Closing Date”), the Prospectus (and any supplement thereto) will,
comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the rules
thereunder. The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus complied, and any further documents so incorporated, when filed with
the Commission, will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the
Exchange Act or the Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
On each Effective Date and at the Applicable Time, the Registration Statement did not and will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and on the date
of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, the
Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) will not include any 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 under which they were made, not misleading and the statements
made or to be made in such documents that are covered by Rule 175(b) under the Act were made or
will be made with a reasonable basis and in good faith; and the documents incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus did not, and any
further documents filed and incorporated by reference therein will not, when filed with the
Commission, contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Teekay Parties make no
representations or warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Partnership by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the
Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any
supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any
Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.
(c) No Material Misstatements or Omissions in Disclosure Package. (i) As of the Applicable
Time, the Disclosure Package, when taken together as a whole, and (ii) each Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus when taken together as a whole with the Disclosure Package, did not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package
based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by any
Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and
agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the
information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

(d) No Ineligible Issuer. (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement and (ii) as of
the Applicable Time (with such time being used as the determination date for purposes of this
clause (ii)), the Partnership was not and is not an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405),
without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not
necessary that the Partnership be considered an Ineligible Issuer.

Prospectus as of its date does not include any information that conflicts with the information
contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein

standing as a foreign limited liability company, limited partnership or corporation, as the case

businesses requires such registration or qualification, except where the failure so to register or

limited partners of the Partnership to any material liability or disability. “Material Adverse
Effect,” as used throughout this Agreement, means a material adverse effect on the condition

to off hire insurance, the Teekay Entities are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility covering against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and
customary in the businesses in which they are engaged; all policies of insurance insuring the
Teekay Entities or their respective businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in
full force and effect; the Teekay Entities are in compliance with the terms of such policies and
instruments in all material respects; and there are no claims by any of the Teekay Entities under
any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending
under a reservation of rights clause except that would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; none of the Teekay Entities has been refused any insurance coverage sought
or applied for; and the General Partner believes that each of the Teekay Entities will 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 at a cost that would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(gg) Contracts to be Described or Filed. To the best knowledge of the Teekay Parties, there is
no agreement, franchise, contract, indenture, lease or other document or instrument of a character
required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or to be filed as an
exhibit thereto, which is not described or filed as required and the statements in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus under the heading “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,”
insofar as such statements summarize legal matters, agreements, documents or proceedings discussed
therein, are accurate and fair summaries of such legal matters, agreements, documents or
proceedings.
(hh) Litigation. There is (i) no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court, arbitrator
or governmental agency, body or official, domestic or foreign, now pending or, to the knowledge of
the Teekay Parties, threatened, to which any of the Teekay Entities is or could
reasonably be expected to be made a party or to which the business or property of any of the
Teekay Entities is or could reasonably be expected to be made subject or that would be required to
be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus which is not
adequately disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as
required, (ii) no statute, rule, regulation or order that has been enacted, adopted or issued by
any governmental agency or, to the knowledge of the Teekay Parties, that has been proposed by
11
any governmental agency, and (iii) no injunction, restraining order or order of any nature issued by a
Federal or state court or foreign court of competent jurisdiction to which any of the Teekay
Entities is or may be subject, that, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, (A) could
reasonably be expected to (1) individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, or
(2) prevent or result in the suspension of the offering and issuance of the Units, or (B) questions
the validity of this Agreement.
(ii) Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. No relationship, direct or indirect,
exists between or among any Teekay Entity, on the one hand, and the directors, officers, members,
partners, stockholders, customers or suppliers of any Teekay Entity on the other hand that is
required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus
that is not so described. There are no outstanding loans, advances (except normal advances for
business expenses in the ordinary course of business) or guarantees of indebtedness by any Teekay
Entity to or for the benefit of any of the officers, directors or managers of any Teekay Entity or
their respective family members, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure
Package and the Prospectus. No Teekay Entity has, in violation of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002,
directly or indirectly, extended or maintained credit, arranged for the extension of credit, or
renewed an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or for any director or executive
officer of any Teekay Entity.
(jj) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002. The Partnership is in compliance in all material respects
with all applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of
the Commission, the NYSE (as defined in Section 1(ss) hereof) that are effective and applicable to
the Partnership.
(kk) No Labor Dispute. No labor problem or dispute with the employees of the Teekay Entities
exists or is threatened or imminent, and none of the Teekay Parties is aware of any existing or
imminent labor disturbance by the employees of any of its principal suppliers, contractors or
customers, that, in each case, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(ll) Tax Returns. Each of the Teekay Entities has filed all tax returns that are required to
be filed or has requested extensions thereof (except in any case in which the failure so to file
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) and has paid all taxes required
to be paid by it and any other assessment, fine or penalty levied against it, to the extent that
any of the foregoing is due and payable, except for any such assessment, fine or penalty that is
currently being contested in good faith or as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(mm) Books and Records. Each Teekay Entity maintains systems 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 U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles 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 existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Teekay Entities’
internal controls
12
over financial reporting are effective and the Teekay Parties are not aware of
any material weakness in their internal controls over financial reporting.
(nn) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Teekay Entities maintain “disclosure controls
and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act); such disclosure
controls and procedures are effective.
(oo) Environmental Compliance. Each Teekay Entity (i) is in compliance with any and all
applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of
human health and safety, the environment or Hazardous Materials (as defined below)
(“Environmental Laws”), (ii) has received and is in compliance with all permits, licenses
or other approvals required of it under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct its business,
(iii) has not received notice of any actual or potential liability under any environmental law, and
(iv) is not a party to or affected by any pending or, to the knowledge of the Teekay Parties,
threatened action, suit or proceeding, is not bound by any judgment, decree or order, and has not
entered into any agreement, in each case relating to any alleged violation of any Environmental Law
or any actual or alleged release or threatened release or cleanup at any location of any Hazardous
Materials, except where such noncompliance or deviation from that described in (i) — (iv) above
could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. None of the Teekay Entities has been named as a “potentially responsible party” under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended
(“CERCLA”). The term “Hazardous Materials” means (A) any “hazardous substance” as
defined in CERCLA, (B) any “hazardous waste” as defined in the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act, as amended, (C) any petroleum or petroleum product, (D) any polychlorinated biphenyl and (E)
any pollutant or contaminant or hazardous, dangerous or toxic chemical, material, waste or
substance regulated under or within the meaning of any other Environmental Law.
(pp) Effect of Environmental Laws. In the ordinary course of its business, each Teekay Entity
periodically reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on its business, operations and properties,
in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (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, each Teekay Entity has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and
liabilities would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(qq) Intellectual Property. Each of the Teekay Entities owns or possesses rights to use all
patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trademark registrations,
service mark registrations, copyrights, technology, know-how and other intellectual property
necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses, except where the failure to
possess such rights could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and
the Teekay Parties believe that the conduct by the Teekay Entities of their respective businesses
will not conflict with, and the Teekay Entities have not received any notice of any claim of
conflict with, any such rights of others.
13
(rr) No Distribution of Other Offering Materials. None of the Teekay Entities has distributed
and, prior to the later to occur of (i) each Closing Date and (ii) completion of the distribution
of the Units, will not distribute, any prospectus (as defined under the Act) in connection with the
offering and sale of the Units other than the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the
Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other materials, if any, permitted by the Act,
including Rule 134 under the Act.
(ss) NYSE Listing. The Units have been or will be approved for listing on the New York Stock
Exchange (“NYSE”), subject only to official notice of issuance.
(tt) Investment Company. None of the Teekay Entities is now, and after the sale of the Units
to be sold by the Partnership hereunder and application of the net proceeds from such sale as
described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds” will be, an “investment company” or
a company “controlled by” an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “1940 Act”).
(uu) Passive Foreign Investment Company. To the best knowledge of the Teekay Parties, after
consultation with United States federal income tax counsel, none of the Teekay Entities is a
Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) within the meaning of Section 1297 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
(vv) Tax Status. None of the Teekay Entities, other than the Partnership and the General
Partner, has elected to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for United States
federal income tax purposes. Each of the Teekay Entities, other than the Partnership and the
General Partner, has properly elected 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
(other than any Teekay Entity that is classified other than as a corporation without regard to
whether it makes an election).
(ww) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. No Teekay Entity, nor any director, officer, or employee,
nor, to the knowledge of the Teekay Parties, any agent or representative of the Teekay Entities,
has taken or will take any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such
persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (such act, including the rules and
regulations thereunder, the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails
or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer,
payment, promise to pay, or authorization or approval of the payment or giving of money, property,
gifts or anything else of value, directly or indirectly, to any “government official” (including
any officer or employee of a government or government-owned or controlled entity or of a public
international organization, or any person acting in an official capacity for or on behalf of any of
the foregoing, or any political party or party official or candidate for political office) to
influence official action or secure an improper advantage; and
the Teekay Entities have conducted their businesses in compliance with applicable
anti-corruption laws and have instituted and maintain and will continue to maintain policies and
procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with such laws and with the representation
and warranty contained herein.
14
(xx) Sanctions Laws and Regulations. Neither the sale of the Units by the Partnership
hereunder nor the use of the proceeds thereof will cause any U.S. person participating in the
offering, either as underwriter and/or purchasers of the Units, to violate the Trading With the
Enemy Act, as amended, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, as amended, or any foreign
asset control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V,
as amended) (all such laws and regulations collectively referred to as the “Sanctions Laws and
Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto.
(yy) OFAC. None of the Teekay Entities or their directors or officers is, and, to the
knowledge of the Teekay Parties, no agent, employee or affiliate of any of the Teekay Entities is
an individual or entity (“Person”) that is the subject of any sanctions administered by the
Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Teekay
Entities will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or
otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person to
facilitate or finance any activities of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that,
at the time of such financing, is the subject of any sanctions administered by OFAC.
(zz) Money Laundering Laws. The operations of the Teekay Entities are and have been conducted
at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of
the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering
statutes of all jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar
rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency
(collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding by or before
any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving any of the Teekay
Entities with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Teekay
Parties, threatened.
(aaa) Brokers. Except as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no
contracts, agreements or understandings between any Teekay Entity and any person that would give
rise to a valid claim against any Teekay Entity or any Underwriter for a brokerage commission,
finder’s fee or other like payment in connection with this offering of the Units.
(bbb) Market Stabilization. None of the Teekay Entities has taken, directly or indirectly, any
action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result
in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security
of the Partnership to facilitate the sale or resale of the Units.
(ccc) Prohibition on Dividends. Except as provided in the credit and loan agreements described
in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and by Section 40 of the Xxxxxxxx Islands Limited
Liability Company Act of 1996, neither the Operating Company nor
any Operating Subsidiary is prohibited, directly or indirectly, from paying any dividends to
the Partnership or the Operating Company, as the case may be, from making any other distribution on
such subsidiary’s equity securities, from repaying to the Partnership or the Operating Company any
loans or advances to such subsidiary from the Partnership or the Operating
15
Company or from transferring any of such subsidiary’s property or assets to the Partnership, the Operating Company
or any other subsidiary of the Partnership.
(ddd) Statistical and Market Data. The statistical and market-related data included in the
Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are based on or derived from sources which the Teekay Parties
believe to be reliable and accurate.
(eee) To the Teekay Parties’ knowledge, there are no affiliations or associations between (i)
any member of FINRA and (ii) the Partnership or any of the General Partner’s officers, directors or
5% or greater security holders or any beneficial owner of the Partnership’s unregistered equity
securities that were acquired at any time on or after the 180th day immediately preceding the date
the Registration Statement was initially filed with the Commission, except as disclosed in the
Registration Statement (excluding the exhibits thereto), the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
(fff) Any certificate signed by any officer of any Teekay Entity and delivered to the
Underwriters or to counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the closing of the Offering
shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Teekay Entity, as to matters covered thereby,
to each Underwriter.
2. Purchase and Sale.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and
warranties herein set forth, the Partnership agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each
Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Partnership, at a
purchase price of $18.66 per Unit, the number of the Firm Units set forth opposite such
Underwriter’s name in Schedule I hereto.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and
warranties herein set forth, the Partnership hereby grants an option to the several
Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to 660,000 Option Units at the same
purchase price per Unit as the Underwriters shall pay for the Firm Units. Said option may
be exercised only to cover over-allotments in the sale of the Firm Units by the
Underwriters. Said option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to
time on or before the 30th day after the date of the Prospectus upon written notice by the
Representatives to the Partnership setting forth the number of Option Units as to which the
several Underwriters are exercising the option and the settlement date. The number of
Option Units to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the same percentage of the total
number of Option Units to be purchased by the several Underwriters as such Underwriter is
purchasing of the Firm Units, subject to such adjustments as the Representatives in their
absolute discretion shall make to eliminate any fractional Units.
3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Firm Units and the Option
Units (if the option provided for in Section 2(b) hereof shall have been exercised on or before the
third Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date) shall be made at 9:00 AM, Eastern time,
on March 22, 2010, at the offices of Xxxxxxx Coie LLP, Portland, Oregon, or at such time
16
on such later date not more than three Business Days after the foregoing date as the Representatives shall
designate, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the Representatives and the
Partnership or as provided in Section 9 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the
Units being herein called the “Closing Date”). Delivery of the Units shall be made to the
Representatives for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters against payment by the
several Underwriters through the Representatives of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order
of the Partnership by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to an account specified by the
Partnership. Delivery of the Units shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”) unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.
If the option provided for in Section 2(b) hereof is exercised after the third Business Day
immediately preceding the initial Closing Date, the Partnership will deliver the Option Units (at
the expense of the Partnership) to the Representatives, on the date specified by the
Representatives (which shall be within three Business Days after exercise of said option) for the
respective accounts of the several Underwriters, against payment by the several Underwriters
through the Representatives of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Partnership
by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to an account specified by the Partnership. Delivery of
the Option Units shall be made through the facilities of DTC unless the Representatives shall
otherwise instruct. If settlement of the Option Units occurs after the initial Closing Date, the
Partnership will deliver to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the several
Underwriters on the Closing Date for the Option Units, and the obligation of the Underwriters to
purchase the Option Units shall be conditioned upon receipt of, supplemental opinions (other than
the opinions specified in Sections 6(f) and 6(g)), certificates and letters confirming as of such
date the opinions, certificates and letters delivered on the initial Closing Date pursuant to
Section 6 hereof. To the extent any of the opinions specified in Sections 6(f) and 6(g) are not
delivered on the Closing Date for the Option Units, as contemplated by the preceding sentence, the
certificate specified in 6(i) delivered on such Closing Date shall include an additional statement
to the effect that, to the officers’ knowledge, after due inquiry, there has been no change in fact
or law that would lead the officers to believe that such legal opinions could not be delivered on
such Closing Date.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a
Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions, trust companies and
the NYSE are authorized or obligated by law to close in New York City.
4. Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the several Underwriters propose
to offer the Units for sale to the public as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the
Prospectus.
5. Agreements. Each of the Teekay Parties, jointly and severally, agrees with the
several Underwriters that:
(a) Preparation of the Prospectus and Registration Statement. Prior to the termination
of the offering of the Units, the Partnership will not file any amendment of the
Registration Statement or supplement (including the Prospectus or any Preliminary
Prospectus) to the Base Prospectus or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement unless the
Partnership has furnished to you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file
any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. The
17
Partnership will cause the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed in a
form approved by the Representatives, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the
time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such
timely filing. The Partnership will promptly advise the Representatives (i) when the
Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or when any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have
been filed with the Commission, (ii) when, prior to termination of the offering of the
Units, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become
effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the
Registration Statement, or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or for any supplement to
the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of
any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any notice
objecting to its use or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose
and (v) of the receipt by the Partnership of any notification with respect to the suspension
of the qualification of the Units for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Partnership will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any
such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration Statement and, upon such
issuance, occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of
such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by
filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using
its commercially reasonable efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement
declared effective as soon as practicable.
(b) Notification Regarding Disclosure Package. If, at any time prior to the filing of
the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure
Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made at such time not misleading, the Partnership will (i) notify promptly the
Representatives so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or
supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or
omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to you in such quantities as you may
reasonably request.
(c) Filing of Amendment or Supplement. If, at any time when a prospectus relating to
the Units is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such
requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which
the Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or the circumstances
then prevailing not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration
Statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the rules thereunder, the
Partnership promptly will (i) notify the Representatives of any such event; (ii) prepare and
file with the Commission, subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5,
an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or
18
omission or effect such compliance; and (iii) supply any supplemented prospectus to you in such quantities as you
may reasonably request.
(d) Reports to Unitholders. As soon as practicable, but in any event not later than
60 days after the close of the period covered thereby, the Partnership will make generally
available to its unitholders and to the Representatives an earnings statement or statements
of the Partnership and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a)
of the Act and Rule 158.
(e) Copies of Reports. The Partnership will furnish or make available via the
Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”) to
its unitholders annual reports containing financial statements audited by independent public
accountants and quarterly reports containing financial statements and financial information
which may be unaudited. The Partnership will, for a period of two years from the Closing
Date, furnish or make available via XXXXX, to the Underwriters a copy of each annual report,
quarterly report, current report and all other documents, reports and information furnished
by the Partnership to its unitholders (excluding any periodic income tax reporting
materials) or filed with any securities exchange or market pursuant to the requirements of
such exchange or market or with the Commission pursuant to the Act or the Exchange Act
(other than any annual chief executive officer certification and annual written affirmations
to the NYSE).
(f) Signed Copies of the Registration Statement. The Partnership will furnish to the
Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters photocopies of signed copies of the
Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to each other Underwriter a copy of
the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a
prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act (including in
circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), as many copies
of each Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and
any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request.
(g) Qualification of Units. The Partnership will arrange, if necessary, for the
qualification of the Units for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the
Representatives may reasonably designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so
long as reasonably required for the distribution of the Units; provided that in no event
shall the Partnership be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is
not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in
suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Units, in any
jurisdiction where it is not now so subject. The Partnership will, from time to time,
prepare and file such statements and reports as are or may be reasonably required of it to
continue such qualifications in effect for so long a period as the Representatives may reasonably
request for the distribution of the Units.
(h) Lock-up Period; Lock-up Letters. The Teekay Entities will not, without the prior
written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise
dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be
expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or
19
effective economic
disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Teekay Entities, or any affiliated
company of the Teekay Entities) directly or indirectly, including the filing (or
participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of,
or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call
equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any Common Units or
any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Common Units; or
publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period of 60 days after
the date of this Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), provided, however, that the
Partnership may grant restricted units or options to purchase Common Units under the
Partnership’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan.
(i) Compliance with Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. Each of the Teekay Entities will comply in all
material respects with all applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002.
(j) Price Manipulation. The Teekay Entities will not take, directly or indirectly, any
action designed to or that would constitute or that could reasonably be expected to cause or
result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price
of any security of the Partnership to facilitate the sale or resale of the Units.
(k) Expenses. The Partnership agrees to pay the costs and expenses relating to the
following matters: (i) the preparation, printing or reproduction and filing with the
Commission of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits
thereto), each Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus
and each amendment or supplement to any of them; (ii) the printing (or reproduction) and
delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging) of
such copies of the Registration Statement, each Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, each
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and all amendments or supplements to any of them, as may, in
each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the
Units; (iii) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of
certificates for the Units, including any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the
original issuance and sale of the Units; (iv) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of
this Agreement, any blue sky memorandum and all other agreements or documents printed (or
reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering of the Units; (v) the registration
of the Units under the Exchange Act and the listing of the Units on the NYSE; (vi) any
registration or qualification of the Units for offer and sale under the securities or blue
sky laws of the several states (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel for the Underwriters relating to such registration
and qualification); (vii) any filings required to be made with Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) (including filing fees); (viii) the transportation
and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of Partnership representatives in connection
with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Units; (ix) the fees and expenses of the
Partnership’s accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special
counsel) for the Partnership; and (x) all other costs and expenses of the Partnership or the
Teekay Entities incident to the performance by them of their
20
obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that, except as expressly provided in this
subsection (k) and Sections 7 and 8 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs
and expenses, including without limitation, fees and disbursements of their counsel,
transfer taxes on the resale by them of any of the Units, the transportation and other
expenses incurred by or on their behalf in connection with presentations to potential
purchasers of Units and any advertising expenses relating to offers of Units they may make.
(l) Use of Proceeds. The Teekay Entities will use the net proceeds received by them
from the sale of the Units as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
(m) Investment Company; PFIC. For a period of four years after the Closing Date or, if
later, the Closing Date for the Option Units, the Partnership will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to avoid any Teekay Entity, or any subsidiary thereof, from becoming (i)
an “investment company” as defined in the 1940 Act, or (ii) a PFIC with respect to any U.S.
unitholder.
(n) PFIC Notice to Unitholders. If the Partnership determines that it or any of its
subsidiaries is or will be a PFIC with respect to any U.S. unitholder, it will
contemporaneously provide notice to its unitholders and the Representatives, along with
information concerning the potential availability of a “qualified electing fund” election
(or elections) under Section 1295 of the Code or any other applicable election with respect
to the Partnership or any subsidiary that is a PFIC with respect to such U.S. unitholders.
(o) Sanctions Laws and Regulations. The Partnership will not take, and will cause each
of its subsidiaries not to take, directly or indirectly, any action that could reasonably be
expected to result in a violation by any U.S. person participating in the offering of the
Sanctions Laws and Regulations with respect to the sale of the Units hereunder. Further, the
Partnership will not use, and will cause each subsidiary not to use, the proceeds from the
sale of the Units, directly or indirectly, for any purpose or activity that would cause the
Underwriters or any purchaser of the Units to be in violation of the Sanctions Laws and
Regulations or any agent or “Specially Designated National” of any country the subject of
the Sanctions Laws and Regulations, or any person or entity of any country the subject of
the Sanctions Laws and Regulations.

Parties or the Xxxxxxxx Islands 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

25
(xvii) No Consents. No permit, consent, approval, authorization, order,

is required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Teekay

are required for any of the Teekay Parties or the Xxxxxxxx Islands Subsidiaries to own or
lease its properties and to conduct its business in the manner described in the
Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, other than such
permits, Consents, licenses, franchises, concessions, certificates and authorizations,
declarations or filings with any Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands governmental authority
currently held or previously obtained, applied, received or filed by any of the Teekay
Parties or the Xxxxxxxx Islands Subsidiaries.
(xix) Accuracy of Statements. The statements (A) in the Partnership’s Form 20-F for
the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “Form 20-F”) under the captions
“Item 4. Information on the Partnership-E. Taxation of the Partnership-Xxxxxxxx Islands
Taxation” and “Item 10. Additional Information-Non-United States Tax
Consequences-Xxxxxxxx Islands Tax Consequences” and (ii) in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus under the captions “Non-United States Tax Considerations-Xxxxxxxx
Islands Tax Considerations” and “Service of Process and Enforcement of Civil
Liabilities,” insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of Xxxxxxxx Islands Law or
legal conclusions of Xxxxxxxx Islands Law, fairly describe in all material respects the
portions of the statutes and regulations addressed thereby, subject to the qualifications
and assumptions stated therein.
(xx) Choice of Law. The choice of New York law to govern this Agreement
constitutes a valid choice of law under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law.
(xxi) Non-Exclusive Jurisdiction. The submission by the Partnership to
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York, is a valid submission under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law.
(xxii) Enforcement of Judgments. A judgment granted by a foreign court
against the Partnership may be recognized in the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands, so
long as the foreign judgment grants or denies recovery of a sum of money, and is final
and conclusive and enforceable where rendered even though an appeal therefrom is pending,
or subject to appeal. A foreign judgment is not conclusive if: (i) the judgment was
rendered under a system which does not provide impartial tribunals or procedures
compatible with the requirements of due process of law, (ii) the foreign court did not
have personal jurisdiction over the defendant, (iii) the foreign court did not have
jurisdiction over the subject matter, or (iv) the foreign court does not recognize or
enforce the
26
judgments of any other foreign nation. A foreign judgment need not be
recognized if: (i) the defendant in the proceedings in the foreign court did not receive
notice of the proceedings in sufficient time to enable him to defend, (ii) the judgment
was obtained by fraud, (iii), the cause of action on which the judgment is based is
repugnant to the public policy of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands, (iv) the judgment
conflicts with another final and conclusive judgment, (v) the proceeding in the foreign
court was contrary to an agreement between the parties under which the dispute in
question was to be settled otherwise than by proceedings in the court, or (vi) in the
case of jurisdiction based only on personal service, the foreign court was a seriously
inconvenient forum for the trial of the action.
(xxiii) Negative Assurance. The primary purpose of such counsel’s engagement
was not to establish or confirm factual matters. In addition, such counsel has not
undertaken any obligation to verify independently any of the factual matters set forth in
the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Consequently, such
counsel has not independently verified, is not passing on, and is not assuming any
responsibility for the accuracy (except to the extent specified in paragraph 19 above),
completeness or fairness of the statements (i) in the Registration Statement, the
Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the captions “Non-United States Tax
Considerations-Xxxxxxxx Islands Tax Considerations” and “Service of Process and
Enforcement of Civil Liabilities,” (ii) in the Form 20-F under the captions “Item 4.
Information on the Partnership-E. Taxation of the Partnership-Xxxxxxxx Islands Taxation”
and “Item 10. Additional Information-Non-United States Tax Consequences-Xxxxxxxx Islands
Tax Consequences.” Subject to the foregoing, such counsel confirm to the Underwriters
that no facts have come to such counsel’s attention which cause such counsel to believe
that (a) the above-referenced sections of the Registration Statement and the Form 20-F,
as of the most recent effective date of the Registration Statement, contained an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) the
above-referenced sections included in the Disclosure Package, as of 8:30 a.m., New York
City time on March 17, 2010, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (c) the above-referenced
sections of the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the date hereof, included or
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.
In addition, such counsel shall confirm that their opinion that will be filed as Exhibit 8.2
to the Partnership’s Report on Form 6-K to be filed prior to Closing and to be incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement is confirmed and the Underwriters may rely upon such
opinion as if it were addressed to them.
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may (A) rely in respect of matters of fact upon
certificates of officers and employees of the Teekay Entities and upon information obtained from
public officials, (B) assume that all documents submitted to them as originals are authentic, that
all copies submitted to them conform to the originals thereof, and that the signatures on all
documents examined by them are genuine and (C) state that their opinion is limited to the laws
27
of the State of New York, the laws of The Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands and United States federal
law.

Tax Considerations,” with respect to legal matters or legal conclusions, in all material

General Partner, the Operating Company, or the Operating Subsidiaries.
(iv) No Registration Rights. To the knowledge of such counsel, there are no
contracts, agreements or understandings between any of the Teekay Entities and any person

Entities owned or to be owned by such person or to require any of the Teekay Entities to
include such securities in the securities registered pursuant to the Registration
Statement or in any securities being registered pursuant to any other registration
statement filed by any Teekay Entity under the Act, except for any such rights held
by the General Partner or an Affiliate (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of the

do not apply with respect to this Offering.
(v) Accuracy of Statements. The statements (A) in the Registration Statement under
the captions “How We Make Cash Distributions” and “Description of the Common Units,” (B)

all material respects the portions of the agreements addressed thereby, and the Common
Units and the Incentive Distribution Rights conform in all material respects to the
descriptions thereof contained in the Registration Statement under the captions “How We
Make Cash Distributions” and “Description of the Common Units” and in the Form 8-A/A
under the captions “Our Partnership Agreement” and “How We Make Cash Distributions”;
provided, however, that such counsel need not express any opinion with respect to
Xxxxxxxx Islands law.
(vi) Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The Registration Statement was
declared effective under the Act on May 22, 2008; the Preliminary Prospectus and the
Prospectus have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) in a manner and
within the time period required by Rule 424(b); and, to the knowledge of such counsel, no
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued
under the Act and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or is pending or
threatened by the Commission.
(vii) Compliance as to Form. Without independent verification of the factual
accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements made in the Registration Statement,
on the Effective Date, and the Prospectus, when filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) and on each Closing Date (except for the financial statements and financial
schedules, and other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which
such counsel need not express any opinion) comply as to form in all material respects to
the requirements of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder.
(viii) No Conflicts. None of the offering, issuance and sale by the Partnership of
the Units, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, or the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby 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 Registration Statement (including any document filed as an exhibit to any
document incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement), which conflicts,
breaches, violations or defaults would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (Such
counsel is not required to comment or opine as to compliance with any financial
covenants or financial ratios contained in any such documents).
(ix) Documents Incorporated by Reference. The documents filed under the Exchange
Act (excluding exhibits thereto) and incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto made by the
Partnership prior to the Closing Date (except for the financial statements and financial
schedules and other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which
such counsel need express no opinion), when they became effective or were filed with the
Commission, as the case may be, complied as

Underwriters, with respect to such matters as the Representatives may

documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.
(i) Each of the General Partner and the OLP GP shall have furnished to the Underwriters
a certificate signed by its principal executive officer and the principal financial officer
dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, to the effect that the signers of
such certificate have carefully examined this Agreement, the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus, the Disclosure Package and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment
or supplement thereto and that:
32
(i) the representations and warranties of the Teekay Parties in this Agreement are
true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the
Closing Date and each Teekay Party has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all
the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date;
(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has
been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to such
officer’s knowledge, threatened;
(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included in the
Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any supplement thereto) or
the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse
effect on the general affairs, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations,
business, properties, assets or prospects of the Teekay Entities, taken as a whole,
whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as
set forth in or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package
(exclusive of any supplement thereto) or the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement
thereto); and
(iv) such other matters as you may reasonably request.
(j) The Partnership shall have requested and caused Xxxxx & Young LLP to have furnished
to the Underwriters, at the time of execution of this Agreement and at the Closing Date,

substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives.
(k) Subsequent to the Applicable Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information
is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure
Package (exclusive of any supplement thereto) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any
supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the
letter or letters referred to in paragraph (j) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any
development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management,
condition (financial or otherwise), stockholders’ equity, partners’ equity, members’ equity,
results of operations, business, properties, assets or prospects of the Teekay Entities
taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of
business, except as set forth in or contemplated in
the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the
effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole
judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or
inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Units as contemplated by the
Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package
(exclusive of any supplement thereto) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement
thereto).
(l) Prior to the Closing Date, the Teekay Entities shall have furnished to the
Underwriters such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may
reasonably request.
33
(m) Subsequent to the Applicable Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the

“nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule

rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of
the possible change.
(n) The Units shall have been listed and admitted and authorized for trading on the
NYSE, and satisfactory evidence of such actions shall have been provided to the

letter substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto addressed to the Representatives from

(p) If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled
when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned
above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all
obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, each
Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the
Partnership in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.
7. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Units provided for
herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in
Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or
because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Teekay Parties to perform any
agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of
the Underwriters, the Teekay Parties will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the
Representatives on demand for all out of pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with the
proposed purchase and sale of the Units.
8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Teekay Parties, jointly and severally,
agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, agents
and affiliates of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning
of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act
or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the registration statement for the registration of the Units as originally filed or in any
amendment thereof, or in the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the
Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make
34
the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such
indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the Teekay Parties will not be liable in any such case to
the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Teekay Parties through
the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Teekay Parties may otherwise
have.
(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Teekay Parties, each of their respective directors, each of their respective officers
who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Teekay Parties within
the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the indemnity in
Section 1(a) from the Teekay Parties to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written
information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Teekay Parties through the
Representatives by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the
documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Underwriters
confirm and the Teekay Parties acknowledge that the statements set forth in the last
paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Units and, under the heading
“Underwriting”: (i) the name of each Underwriter and its participation in the sale of the
Units, (ii) the first sentence of the fifth paragraph regarding offers by the Underwriters
and selling concessions and (iii) the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth paragraphs related to
stabilization, syndicate covering transactions, penalty bids and discretionary sales in the
constitute the only information concerning the Underwriters furnished in writing to the
Partnership through the Representatives by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for
inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of
the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying
party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to
the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the
forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not,
in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party
other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The
indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice
at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for
which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter
be responsible for the fees and expenses of any
separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth
below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to
appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall
have the right to employ
35
one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel), and the
indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate
counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the
indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or
potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party
and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice
of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the
indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An
indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened
claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be
sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to
such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such
claim, action, suit or proceeding.
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8
is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the
Teekay Parties, severally and jointly, and the Underwriters, severally, agree to contribute
to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively
“Losses”) to which one or more of the Teekay Parties and one or more of the
Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Teekay Parties on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other
from the Offering; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter
(except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of
the Units) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or
commission applicable to the Units purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the
allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the
Teekay Parties and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the
Teekay Parties on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Teekay Parties shall be deemed to be
equal to the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by
it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total
underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the
Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of
a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information provided by the Teekay Parties on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other,
the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such
36
untrue statement or omission. The Teekay Parties and
the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were
determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions
of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person
who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and
each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to
contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls any of the Teekay Parties
within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Teekay Parties
who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Teekay Parties
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Teekay Parties, subject in each case to
the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).
9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase
and pay for any of the Units agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder
and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their
obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take
up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Firm Units set forth opposite
their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Firm Units set forth
opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Units which the defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event
that the aggregate amount of Units which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but
failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Units set forth in Schedule
I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be
under any obligation to purchase any, of the Units, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not
purchase all the Units, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting
Underwriter or the Teekay Parties. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in
this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business
Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration
Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be
effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its
liability, if any, to the Teekay Parties and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned
by its default hereunder.
10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute
discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Partnership prior to delivery of and
payment for the Units, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in the Partnership’s Common
Units shall have been suspended by the Commission or the NYSE or trading in securities generally on
the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such
exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State
authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or
escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or
other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the
sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or
37
delivery of the Units as contemplated by the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (in each case
exclusive of any supplement thereto).
11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements,
representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Teekay Parties or their
officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in
full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or
the Teekay Parties or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons
referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Units. The
provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this
Agreement.
12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on
receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to (a) Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036, Attention: Equity Syndicate

97209-4128, Attn: Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx (fax no. 000-000-0000).
13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, agents and
controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and no other person will have any right or
obligation hereunder.
14. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the
State of New York.
15. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
(whether written or oral) between the Teekay Parties and the Underwriters, or any of them, with
respect to the subject matter hereof.
16. Judicial Proceedings.
(a) The Teekay Parties irrevocably (i) agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding
against the Teekay Parties arising out of or based upon this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or alleged violations of the securities laws of the United States or any
state in the United States may be instituted in any New York court, (ii) waive, to the
fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to
the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any New York court and (iii) submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or
proceeding. Each of the Teekay Parties has appointed Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, New
York, New York, as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”), upon whom process may be
served in any such action arising out of or based on this Agreement, the
38
transactions
contemplated hereby or any alleged violation of the securities laws of the United States or
any state in the United States which may be instituted in any New York court, expressly
consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such action, and waives any
other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. Such
appointment shall be irrevocable. The Teekay Parties represent and warrant that the
Authorized Agent has agreed to act as such agent for service of process and agrees to take
any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may
be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of
process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such service to the Teekay Parties
shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Teekay Parties.
(b) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a
sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto
agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used
shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriters
could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in the City of New York on the
business day proceeding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Teekay
Parties in respect of any sum due from it to the Underwriters shall, notwithstanding any
judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first
business day, following receipt by the Underwriters of any sum adjudged to be so due in such
other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) the Underwriters may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency; if
the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the
Underwriters hereunder, the Teekay Parties agree, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, that the party responsible for such judgment shall
indemnify the Underwriters against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are
greater than the sum originally due to the Underwriters hereunder, the Underwriters agree to
pay to the Teekay Parties an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the
sum originally due to the Underwriters hereunder.
17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.
18. Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not
affect the construction hereof.
19. No Fiduciary Duty. The Partnership hereby acknowledges that (a) the Underwriters
are acting as a principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Partnership and (b) its
engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the Offering is as independent contractors and
not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Partnership agrees that it is solely responsible for
making its own judgments in connection with the Offering (irrespective of whether the
Underwriters have advised or are currently advising the Partnership on related or other matters).
