The SEC Reports, including, without limitation, any audited or unaudited financial statements and any notes thereto or schedules included therein, at the time filed (or in the case of registration statements, solely on the dates of effectiveness) (except to the extent corrected by a subsequent SEC Report) (A) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (B) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as the case may be.

Section 3.47 No Integration. The Partnership has not sold or issued any securities that would be integrated with the offering and sale of the Purchased Units contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the Securities Act, the rules and regulations thereunder or the interpretations thereof by the Commission.

Section 3.48 NYSE Listing of Purchased Units. As of the Closing Date, the Purchased Units will be approved for listing, subject to official notice of issuance and evidence of satisfactory distribution, on the NYSE.

Section 3.49 MLP Status. The Partnership is properly treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes and more than 90% of the Partnership’s current gross income is qualifying income under Section 7704(d) of the Code.

Section 3.50 Placement Agent Reliance. The Partnership acknowledges that the Placement Agent may rely upon the representations and warranties made by the Partnership to the Purchaser in this Agreement.

Section 3.51 No Side Agreements. There are no agreements by, among or between any of the Partnership Entities, on the one hand, and the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (other than the Partnership and its Subsidiaries), on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than the Operative Documents, nor promises or inducements for future transactions between or among any of such parties.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASER

The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Partnership that:

Section 4.1 Existence. The Purchaser is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under Delaware law, with all requisite power and authority to own, lease, use and operate its properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to have such power or authority would not prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 4.2 Authorization, Enforceability. The Purchaser has all necessary partnership power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, and the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Purchaser; and this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

Section 4.3 No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and 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 the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Purchaser is subject, (B) conflict with or result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Purchaser, or (C) violate any statute, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or the property or assets of the 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 this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 4.4 Certain Fees. No fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Purchaser to brokers, finders, or investment bankers with respect to the purchase of any of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership from and against any and all claims, demands, or liabilities for broker’s, finder’s, placement, or other similar fees or commissions incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.5 No Side Agreements. There are no other agreements by, among or between the Purchaser and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Partnership or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than the Operative Documents nor promises or inducements for future transactions between or among any of such parties.

Section 4.6 Investment. The Purchased Units are being acquired for the Purchaser’s own account or the account of its Affiliates, and with no present intention of distributing the Purchased Units or any part thereof, and the Purchaser has no present intention of selling or granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same in any transaction in violation of the securities Laws of the United States of America or any state, without prejudice, however, to the Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Purchased Units under a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws or under an exemption from such registration available thereunder (including, if available, Rule 144 promulgated thereunder). If the Purchaser should in the future decide to dispose of any of the Purchased Units, the Purchaser understands and agrees (A) that it may do so only (i) in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities Law, as then in effect, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom or (ii) in the manner contemplated by any registration statement pursuant to which such securities are being offered, and (B) that stop-transfer instructions to that effect will be in effect with respect to such securities.

Section 4.7 Nature of Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Partnership that, (A) it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act and (B) by reason of its business and financial experience it has such knowledge,

sophistication and experience in making similar investments and in business and financial matters generally so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Purchased Units, is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, would be able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

Section 4.8 Restricted Securities. The 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 not be resold absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. In this connection, the Purchaser represents that it is knowledgeable with respect to Rule 144 of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act.

Section 4.9 Legend. The Purchaser understands that the book entry evidencing the Purchased Units will bear the following legend: “These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These securities may not be sold or offered for sale except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder, in each case in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions, and in the case of a transaction exempt from registration, such securities may only be transferred if the transfer agent for such securities has received documentation satisfactory to it that such transaction does not require registration under the Securities Act.”

Section 4.10 Company Information. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company has provided or made available to the Purchaser (through XXXXX, the Company’s website or otherwise) all SEC Reports, as well as all press releases or investor presentations issued by the Company through the date of this Agreement that are included in a filing by the Company on Form 8-K or clearly posted on the Company’s website.

Section 4.11 Placement Agent Reliance. The Purchaser agrees that the Placement Agent may rely upon the representations and warranties made by the Purchaser to the Company in this Agreement. In addition, the Purchaser acknowledges that the Placement Agent has not made any representations, declarations or warranties to the Purchaser regarding the Partnership or its offering of the Common Units. The Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent has not offered to sell, or solicited an offer to buy, any of the Common Units, which the Purchaser proposes to acquire from the Partnership.

Section 4.12 Short Selling. The Purchaser represents that it has not entered into any Short Sales of the Common Units owned by it since the time it first began discussions with the Partnership or the Placement Agent about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

COVENANTS

Section 5.1 Taking of Necessary Action. Each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to take or cause to be taken all action and promptly to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Partnership and the Purchaser shall each use its commercially

reasonable efforts to make all filings and obtain all consents of Governmental Authorities that may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the other parties, as the case may be, advisable for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. The Partnership shall promptly and accurately respond, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to respond, to reasonable requests for information (which is otherwise not publicly available) made by the Purchaser or its auditors relating to the actual holdings of the Purchaser or its accounts; provided, that the Partnership shall not be obligated to provide any such information that could reasonably result in a violation of applicable Law or conflict with the Partnership’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy or a confidentiality obligation of the Partnership. The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser to ensure that the Purchased Units are validly and effectively issued to the Purchaser and that the Purchaser’s ownership of the Purchased Units following the Closing is accurately reflected on the appropriate books and records of the Partnership’s transfer agent. The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Acquisition and other transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, including entering into the Revolving Credit Facility Amendment. The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the PIPE Purchase Agreement.

Section 5.2 Other Actions. The Partnership shall file prior to the Closing a supplemental listing application with the NYSE to list the Purchased Units.

Section 5.3 Purchase Price Adjustment. The Common Unit Price payable by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1(b) shall be adjusted by decreasing such Common Unit Price by the Purchase Price Adjustment. For federal income tax purposes, the Purchase Price Adjustment is, and will be treated by the parties as, an adjustment to the Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser for the Purchased Units.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1 Indemnification by the Partnership. The Partnership agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and its Representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Partnership contained herein, provided that

such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations or warranties is made prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representations or warranties; and provided, further, that no Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost profits) or punitive damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, consequential damages shall not be deemed to include diminution in value of the Purchased Units, which is specifically included in damages covered by Purchaser Related Parties’ indemnification above.

Section 6.2 Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Partnership, the General Partner and their respective Representatives (collectively, “Partnership Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Purchaser contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations and warranties is made prior to the expiration of such representations and warranties; and provided, further, that no Partnership Related Parties shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost profits or diminution in value) or punitive damages.

Section 6.3 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Article VI of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Article VI, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 of this Article VI except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Article VI. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Article VI for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the indemnified party and those other indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article VI if (i) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party and its directors, officers,

employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified parties or their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the indemnifying party, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall (x) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), 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 and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (y) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party’s entitlement to such reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1 Certain Special Allocations of Book and Taxable Income. The initial Capital Account balance attributable to a Purchased Unit shall equal the Common Unit Price (as adjusted by the Purchase Price Adjustment). To the extent that the initial Capital Account balance attributable to a Purchased Unit differs from the Per Unit Capital Amount as of the Closing Date for a then Outstanding Common Unit after taking into account the issuance of the Purchased Units, the General Partner intends to specially allocate Partnership items of book and taxable income, gain, loss or deduction to the Purchaser so that the Per Unit Capital Amount with respect to their Purchased Units is equal to the Per Unit Capital Amount with respect to other Common Units (and thus to assure fungibility of all Common Units). Such special allocation will occur upon the earlier to occur of any taxable period of the Partnership ending upon, or after, (i) an event described in Section 5.5(d) of the Partnership Agreement or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership occurring after the date of the issuance of the Purchased Units or (ii) the transfer of Purchased Units to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Purchaser, in which case, such allocation shall be made only with respect to the Purchased

Units so transferred. To the maximum extent permissible under the Partnership Agreement or under applicable law, a special allocation resulting from clause (i) will be made through allocations of Unrealized Gain.

Section 7.2 Interpretation and Survival of Provisions. Article, Section, Schedule and Exhibit references are to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified. All references to instruments, documents, contracts, and agreements are references to such instruments, documents, contracts, and agreements as the same may be amended, supplemented, and otherwise modified from time to time, unless otherwise specified. The word “including” shall mean “including but not limited to.” Whenever any party has an obligation under the Operative Documents, the expense of complying with that obligation shall be an expense of such party unless otherwise specified. Whenever any determination, consent, or approval is to be made or given by the Purchaser, such action shall be in the Purchaser’s sole discretion unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. 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 7.3 Survival of Provisions. The representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, 3.17, 3.18, 3.20, 3.21, 3.22, 3.43, 3.44 and 3.49 shall survive indefinitely, and the other representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive for a period of twelve months following the Closing Date regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Partnership or the Purchaser. The covenants made in this Agreement 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 Purchaser 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 7.4 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 hereto or thereto affected by such amendment, waiver, consent, modification, or termination. Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by the Partnership from the terms of any provision of this Agreement 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.

Section 7.5 Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Partnership, the Purchaser, 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. The Purchaser may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the Partnership to any Affiliate of the Purchaser. Except as expressly permitted by this Section 7.5(b), such rights and obligations may not otherwise be transferred except with the prior written consent of the Partnership (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), in which case the assignee shall be deemed to be the Purchaser hereunder with respect to such assigned rights or obligations and shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 7.6 Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Purchaser has executed or is otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement in favor of the Partnership, the Purchaser shall continue to be bound by such confidentiality agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 7.7 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:

or to such other address as the Partnership or the 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; at the time of transmittal, if sent via electronic mail; 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 7.8 Removal of Legend. The Partnership, at its sole cost, shall remove the legend described in Section 4.9 (or instruct its transfer agent to so remove such legend) from the certificates evidencing Purchased Units issued and sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement if (A) such Purchased Units are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (B) such Purchased Units are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Partnership), or (C) such Purchased Units are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Partnership to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such securities and without volume or manner of sale restrictions. In connection with a sale of the Purchased Units by the Purchaser in reliance on Rule 144, the applicable Purchaser or its broker shall deliver to the transfer agent and the Partnership a customary broker representation letter providing to the transfer agent and the Partnership any information the Partnership deems reasonably 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. Upon receipt of such representation letter, the Partnership shall promptly direct its transfer agent to remove the legend referred to in Section 4.9 from the appropriate book-entry accounts maintained by the transfer agent, and the Partnership shall bear all costs associated therewith. After the Purchaser or its permitted assigns have held the Purchased Units for such time as Affiliates are permitted to sell without volume limitations under Rule 144, if the certificate for such Purchased Units still bears the restrictive legend referred to in Section 4.9, the Partnership agrees, upon request of the Purchaser or permitted assignee, to take all steps necessary to promptly effect the removal of the legend described in Section 4.9 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 the Purchaser or its permitted assigns provide to the Partnership any information the Partnership deems reasonably necessary to determine that the legend is no longer required under the Securities Act or applicable state laws, including 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.

Section 7.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, 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 in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, 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 the 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.

Section 7.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of laws principles (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law).

Section 7.11 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate 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. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

Section 7.12 Termination.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated at any time at or prior to the Closing by the Purchaser (with respect to the Purchaser only), upon a breach in any material respect by the Partnership of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall automatically terminate at any time at or prior to the Closing:

(i) 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 transactions contemplated under the PIPE Purchase Agreement have not been consummated.

(c) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in this Section 7.12, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void. In the event of such termination, there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto, except as set forth in Article VI of this Agreement.

Section 7.13 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, unit splits, recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing.

[Signature pages follow.]
