Ladies and Gentlemen:

DCP Midstream Operating, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you (the “Representatives”) are acting as representatives, $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”), to be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by DCP Midstream Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”) (the “Guarantee” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”). The Securities are to be issued under an indenture dated as of September 30, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Operating Partnership, the Partnership, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).

To the extent there are no additional Underwriters listed on Schedule I other than you, the term Representatives as used herein shall mean you, as Underwriters, and the terms Representatives and Underwriters shall mean either the singular or plural as the context requires. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or the Disclosure Package shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus

shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. Certain terms used herein are defined in Section 21 hereof.

This is to confirm the agreement among the Partnership, DCP Midstream GP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “General Partner”), DCP Midstream GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DCP Midstream GP, LLC”), the Operating Partnership and DCP Midstream Operating, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “OLP GP” and, collectively with the Operating Partnership, the Partnership, the General Partner and DCP Midstream GP, LLC, the “Partnership Entities” and each, a “Partnership Entity”), and the Underwriters concerning the purchase of the Notes from the Operating Partnership by the Underwriters. The subsidiaries of the Partnership listed on Schedule II hereto are referred to collectively as the “Operating Subsidiaries” and individually as an “Operating Subsidiary.”

1. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Partnership Entities. Each of the Partnership Entities, jointly and severally, represents, warrants and agrees:

(a) Registration. The Partnership and the Operating Partnership meet the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act and have prepared and filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-182116 and 333-182116-01), including a related Base Prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of the Securities. Such Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto filed prior to the Execution Time, has become effective and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment thereto or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or, to the knowledge of the Partnership Entities, threatened by the Commission. The Partnership and the Operating Partnership may have filed with the Commission, as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 424(b), one or more preliminary prospectus supplements relating to the Securities, each of which has previously been furnished to you. The Partnership and the Operating Partnership will file with the Commission a Final Prospectus relating to the Securities in accordance with Rule 424(b). As filed, such Final Prospectus shall contain all information required by the Act and the Rules and Regulations, 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 Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution 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 Execution Time, will be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, at the Execution Time, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x).

(b) No Material Misstatements or Omissions in Registration Statement or Final Prospectus. On each Effective Date, the Registration Statement did, and when the Final Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date (as defined herein), the Final Prospectus (and any supplement

thereto) will, comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective rules and regulations thereunder; on each Effective Date and at the Execution 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 to make the statements therein not misleading; and on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date, the Final 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; provided, however, that the Partnership Entities make no representations or warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Final 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 Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), 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.

(c) No Material Misstatements or Omissions in Disclosure Package. The Disclosure Package and each electronic road show (as defined in Rule 433), when taken together as a whole with the Disclosure Package, did not, as of the Execution Time, 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. 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 or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion 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) Documents Incorporated by Reference. The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or any Preliminary Prospectus did not, and the Final Prospectus when it is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and any further documents filed and incorporated by reference therein will not, when filed with the Commission, include an 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.

(e) Status as “Well-Known Seasoned Issuer.” Each of the Partnership and the Operating Partnership was (i) at the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus) and (iii) at the time the Operating Partnership or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163, a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405). Neither the Partnership nor the Operating

Partnership was, at the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement at which the Operating Partnership, the Partnership or another offering participant made a bona fide offer relating to the Securities, an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405). The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405) and was filed not earlier than the date that is three years prior to the Closing Date.

(f) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus does not include any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated therein by reference and any prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion 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.

(g) Free Writing Prospectus Conforms to Requirements of the Act. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conformed or will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations on the date of first use, and the Partnership and the Operating Partnership have complied with any filing requirements applicable to such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to the Rules and Regulations. Neither the Partnership nor the Operating Partnership has made any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representatives. The Partnership and the Operating Partnership have retained in accordance with the Rules and Regulations all Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses that were not required to be filed pursuant to the Rules and Regulations. The Partnership and the Operating Partnership filed the Registration Statement before using any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if any, was accompanied or preceded by a Preliminary Prospectus satisfying the requirements of Section 10 of the Act. Each of the Partnership and the Operating Partnership has taken all actions necessary so that any road show (as defined in Rule 433) in connection with the offering of the Securities will not be required to be filed pursuant to the Rules and Regulations.

(c) All corporate, partnership and limited liability company proceedings and other legal matters incident to the authorization, form and validity of this Agreement, the Charter Documents, the Securities, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, and all other legal matters relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to counsel for the Underwriters, and the Partnership Entities shall have furnished to such counsel all documents and information that they may reasonably request to enable them to pass upon such matters.

(h) The Partnership and the Operating Partnership shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Partnership and the Operating Partnership, signed on behalf of the Partnership and the Operating Partnership by the Chairman of the Board or the President and the Chief Financial Officer of DCP Midstream GP, LLC and the OLP GP, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto, and this Agreement and that:

(i) the representations and warranties of each of the Partnership Entities 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 of the Partnership Entities 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 or any notice objecting to its use has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Partnership Entities’ knowledge, threatened; and

(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Partnership Entities and Operating Subsidiaries, 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 Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(i) The Partnership shall have requested and caused Deloitte & Touche LLP to have furnished to the Representatives, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters (which may refer to letters previously delivered to one or more of the Representatives), dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, (i) confirming that such firm is an independent registered public accounting firm within the meaning of the Act, the Rules and Regulations and the rules of the PCAOB, (ii) stating, as of the date hereof (or, with respect to matters involving changes or developments since the respective dates as of which specified financial information is given in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, as of a date not more than three Business Days prior to the date hereof), the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and (iii) covering such other matters as are ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters in connection with registered public offerings.

(j) The Partnership shall have requested and caused Ernst & Young LLP to have furnished to the Representatives, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters (which may refer to letters previously delivered to one or more of the Representatives), dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, (i) confirming that such firm is an independent registered public accounting firm within the meaning of the Act, the Rules and Regulations and the rules of the PCAOB, (ii) stating as of the date hereof (or, with respect to matters involving changes or developments since the respective dates as of which specified financial information is given in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, as of a date not more than three Business Days prior to the date hereof), the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and (iii) covering such other matters as are ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters in connection with registered public offerings.

(k) Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, (i) none of the Partnership Entities or Operating Subsidiaries shall have sustained any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order, investigation or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, or shall have become a party to or the subject of any litigation, court or governmental action, investigation, order or decree that is materially adverse to the Partnership Entities and Operating Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (ii) there shall not have been any change in the capitalization or increase in short-term or long-term debt of any of the Partnership Entities or Operating Subsidiaries or 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, properties, business or prospects of the Partnership Entities and Operating Subsidiaries, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or 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 Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

(l) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, if any debt securities of the Partnership Entities are rated by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, (i) no downgrading shall have occurred, and no notice shall have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change in the rating accorded such debt securities (including the Securities) and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any securities (including the Securities) of any of the Partnership Entities.

(n) Prior to the Closing Date, the Partnership shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request.

Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Partnership in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the office of Holland & ▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Partnership Entities, at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or electronically if agreed to by the parties, on or prior to the Closing Date.

7. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities 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 Sections 10(i) or 10(iv) hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Partnership Entities to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Partnership Entities covenant and agree that the Partnership 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 incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Each of the Partnership Entities, jointly and severally, agrees 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 (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively, “Losses”), 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 (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, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing 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 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 (or actions in respect thereof); provided, however, that the Partnership Entities will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss 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 Partnership by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Partnership Entities may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership Entities, each of the directors of DCP Midstream GP, LLC and the OLP GP, each of the officers of DCP Midstream GP, LLC and the OLP GP who signed the Registration Statement, and each person who controls any Partnership Entity within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership Entities to each Underwriter, but only with respect to references to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Partnership Entities by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have. Each of the Partnership Entities acknowledges that the statements set forth (i) on the cover page regarding delivery of the Notes and (ii) the following statements under the heading “Underwriting,” (A) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities, (B) the sentences related to concessions in the third paragraph and (C) the paragraph related to stabilization, in each case contained in any Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of

the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or 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 separate counsel (including 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, 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 (A) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (B) 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.

(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, each of the Partnership Entities and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate Losses to which the Partnership Entities and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the

relative benefits received by the Partnership Entities on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities; 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 Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, each of the Partnership Entities 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 Partnership Entities 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 Partnership Entities 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 Final 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 Partnership Entities 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 untrue statement or omission. Each of the Partnership Entities 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 8, 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 Partnership Entity within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of DCP Midstream GP, LLC and the OLP GP who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of DCP Midstream GP, LLC and the OLP GP shall have the same rights to contribution as the Partnership Entities, 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 Notes 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 principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the principal amount of the Notes that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Notes which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the

aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased on the Closing Date, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Notes, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Notes, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Partnership Entities. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date may 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 and the Final 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 Partnership Entities 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 Notes, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (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 a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred and as a result thereof, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, it is impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes as contemplated by any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other material adverse change in general domestic or international economic, political or financial conditions (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States shall be such), including, without limitation, as a result of terrorist activities after the date hereof, as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes as contemplated by any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), (iv) any of the events described in Section 6(k) shall have occurred, or (v) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Notes for any other reason permitted under this Agreement.

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Partnership Entities 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 any of the Partnership Entities 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 Notes. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 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 RBC Capital Markets, LLC, c/o RBC Capital Markets, Attn: Transaction Management, 3 World Financial Center, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (Fax: ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇); RBS

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. No Fiduciary Duty. The Partnership Entities hereby acknowledge that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Partnership Entities, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which they may be acting, on the other, (b) the Underwriters are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of any of the Partnership Entities and (c) the Partnership Entities’ engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, each of the Partnership Entities agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising any of the Partnership Entities on related or other matters). Each of the Partnership Entities agrees that it will not claim that any of the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Partnership Entities, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the process leading thereto.

15. Research Analyst Independence. The Partnership Entities acknowledge that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’ research analysts may hold and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Operating Partnership, the Partnership and/or the offering that differ from the views of its investment bankers. The Partnership Entities acknowledge that each Underwriter is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies which may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

16. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) among the Partnership Entities and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

17. Applicable Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute relating or arising out of 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.

They shall further state that the purpose of such counsel’s professional engagement by the Partnership Entities was not to establish or confirm factual matters set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, and such counsel has not undertaken any obligation to verify independently any of the factual matters set forth therein. Moreover, many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus involve matters of a non-legal nature and although such counsel did not independently verify, is not passing upon and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (except as and to the extent set forth in paragraph 16 above), on the basis of such counsel’s participation described above and the information it gained in the course of acting as counsel to the Partnership Entities in this transaction, no facts have come to the attention of such counsel that have led them to believe that:

(1) the Registration Statement, as of the latest Effective Date, 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;

(2) the Disclosure Package, as of the Execution Time, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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; or

(3) the Final Prospectus, as of its date and as of the Closing Date, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits 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;

it being understood that such counsel need not express any view, belief or comment with respect to (i) the form, accuracy, completeness or fairness of the financial statements and related schedules, including the notes and supporting schedules thereto and the auditors’ reports thereon, or any other financial data or accounting information or data, included in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus or any further amendment

or supplement thereto, (ii) the Form T-1 included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and (iii) the representations and warranties and other statements of fact included in the exhibits to the Registration Statement (including the exhibits to documents incorporated by reference therein).

Additionally, such counsel shall state that each of the Registration Statement, as of the latest Effective Date, and the Final Prospectus, as of its date and the Closing Date (except for the financial statements and related schedules, including the notes and supporting schedules thereto and the auditors’ reports thereon, and any other related financial data or accounting information and data included therein or omitted therefrom or any further amendment or supplement thereto, as to which such counsel need not express any view, belief or comment), appeared or appear on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (except that such counsel need not express any view, belief or comment as to Regulation S-T promulgated thereunder).
