Merger Consideration; Exchange Procedures

Section 3.1 Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Partnership, the Partnership GP or any holder of Parent equity or voting securities or Partnership equity or voting securities:

(a) Conversion of Common Units (other than Sponsor Units). Subject to Section 3.1(c), Section 3.1(d), Section 3.3, and Section 3.5, each Common Unit (other than the Sponsor Units) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive $1.55 in cash without any interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all Common Units converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist. As of the Effective Time, each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Common Units (“Certificated Units”) or non-certificated Common Units represented in book-entry form immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Book-Entry Units”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificated Unit or Book-Entry Unit in accordance with Section 3.2(d) without interest.

(b) Cancellation of Incentive Distribution Rights. As of the Effective Time, all Incentive Distribution Rights issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in respect thereof.

(i) Each Sponsor Unit issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be unaffected by the Merger and shall be unchanged and remain outstanding, and no consideration shall be delivered in respect thereof.

(ii) Each Series A Preferred Unit, Series B Preferred Unit and Series E Preferred Unit issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be unaffected by the Merger and shall be unchanged and remain outstanding, and no consideration shall be delivered in respect thereof.

(iii) The General Partner Interest issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be unaffected by the Merger and shall be unchanged and remain outstanding, and no consideration shall be delivered in respect thereof.

(d) Treatment of Warrants. Each Warrant issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration that a Common Unit issuable (at the Effective Time) upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time would have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(a). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that no Common Units would be issuable upon exercise of a Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time (which would occur in the event that the exercise price of such Warrant exceeds the Merger Consideration), such Warrant shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in respect thereof.

(e) Treatment of Partnership Owned Units. Any Partnership Interests that are owned immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership will be automatically cancelled and will cease to exist. No consideration will be delivered in exchange for such cancelled Partnership Interests.

(f) Equity of Merger Sub. The limited liability company interests in Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into one Common Unit of the Surviving Entity.

(g) Issuance of Common Units to Parent. In consideration for the deposit of cash to the Exchange Fund by or on behalf of Parent with the Information and Exchange Agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration, the Surviving Entity shall issue to Parent a number of Common Units equal to the total of (i) the number of Common Units converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a), and (ii) the number of Common Units that would have been issuable (at the Effective Time) upon exercise of a Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, in respect of any Warrant that is converted, pursuant to Section 3.1(d), into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a).

(h) Books and Records of the Partnership. At the Effective Time, the books and records of the Partnership shall be revised to reflect (i) the cancellation and retirement of all Common Units that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and all Common Units converted into the Unit Alternative and that, immediately following the Effective Time, Parent and the Brookfield Affiliated Holders will be the only holders of Common Units and holders of Common Units electing the Unit Alternative will be the only holders of Rollover Units and (ii) that the existence of the Partnership shall continue without dissolution.

(i) Distributions. To the extent applicable, holders of Common Units (including holders electing the Unit Alternative) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have continued rights to receive any distribution, without interest, with respect to such Common Units with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared by the Partnership GP or made by the Partnership with respect to such Common Units in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that remain unpaid as of the Effective Time. Such distributions by the Partnership, if any, are not part of the Merger Consideration and shall be paid on the payment date set therefor to such holders or former holders, as applicable. To the extent applicable, holders of Common Units prior to the Effective Time shall have no rights to any distribution with respect to such Common Units with a record date occurring on or after the Effective Time that may have been declared by the Partnership GP or made by the Partnership with respect to such Common Units prior to the Effective Time and that remains unpaid as of the Effective Time.

Section 3.2 Surrender of Common Units.

(a) Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal. The Partnership shall prepare and attach as an exhibit to the Partnership Information Statement a form of election and letter of transmittal (the “Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal”) in such customary form as the Partnership and Parent may reasonably agree, including, among other items, instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificated Units (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 3.2(h)) and Book-Entry Units to the Information and Exchange Agent in exchange for the Merger Consideration or for the Unit Alternative.

(b) Information and Exchange Agent. Prior to the Closing Date, the Partnership shall (i) appoint one or more agents reasonably acceptable to Parent to act as information and exchange agent (the “Information and Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of delivering the Partnership Information Statement (including the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal), receiving elections and exchanging, in accordance with this Article III, Certificated Units and Book-Entry Units for the Merger Consideration or for the Unit Alternative, as applicable, and (ii) provide to the Information and Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein and as specified in any agreement with the Information and Exchange Agent. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, and in no case less than thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time, the Partnership will deliver, or will cause the Information and Exchange Agent to deliver, to each holder of record of Common Units as of such date whose Common Units will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, the Partnership Information Statement (including the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal).

(c) Deposit. On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Information and Exchange Agent an amount of cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article III. The cash deposited with the Information and Exchange Agent is referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund.” The Information and Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions delivered by Parent at or prior to the Effective Time, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be paid pursuant to this Article III out of the Exchange Fund. Subject to Section 3.2(i) and Section 3.2(j), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to pay such Merger Consideration.

(d) Exchange. Each holder of Common Units, other than The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, upon delivery to the Information and Exchange Agent of a properly completed Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and surrender of Certificated Units (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 3.2(h)) or Book-Entry Units and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Information and Exchange Agent (including with respect to Book-Entry Units), will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor cash representing the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article III. DTC, upon surrender of its Book-Entry Units to the Information and Exchange Agent in accordance with the customary surrender procedures of DTC and the Information and Exchange Agent, will be entitled to receive in exchange for each surrendered Book-Entry Unit, other than any Book-Entry Unit beneficially owned by a Person that has made a Unit Election, a cash amount equal to the Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be paid as promptly as practicable by mail after receipt by the Information and Exchange Agent of the Certificated Units (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 3.2(h)) and a completed Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal, or any applicable documentation with respect to the surrender of Book-Entry Units; provided that (i) no Person beneficially owning Common Units through DTC will be required to deliver a Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive through DTC and (ii) any such Person will receive its Merger Consideration in accordance with the customary payment procedures of DTC and its participants following the Effective Time. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any Merger Consideration. Until so surrendered, each such Certificated Unit and Book-Entry Unit that has the right to receive Merger Consideration shall, after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration.

(e) Other Payees. If any payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificated Unit or Book-Entry Unit is registered (other than DTC), it shall be a condition of such payment that the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the making of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the surrendered Certificated Unit or Book-Entry Unit or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Information and Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be registered in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificated Unit (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 3.2(h)) or Book-Entry Unit is registered, it shall be a condition to the registration thereof that any surrendered certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such delivery of the Merger Consideration shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required as a result of such registration in the name of a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificated Unit (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 3.2(h)) or Book-Entry Unit or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Information and Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) No Further Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration on the books of the Partnership of transfers of Common Units converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificated Units or Book-Entry Units representing Common Units converted into the right to

receive the Merger Consideration and that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Common Units, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law, and the Merger Consideration paid upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Common Units. If, after the Effective Time, Certificated Units or Book-Entry Units are presented to the Information and Exchange Agent or Parent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in, this Article III.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Common Units converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged his, her or its Common Units for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.2 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent or the Surviving Entity for delivery of the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent, Merger Sub, the Partnership and the Partnership GP shall not be liable to any holder of Common Units for any Merger Consideration duly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property escheat or similar Laws. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by holders of Common Units immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificated Units. If any Certificated Unit shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificated Unit to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificated Unit, the Information and Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificated Unit the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Common Units represented by such Certificated Unit as contemplated by this Article III.

(i) Withholding Taxes. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Entity and the Information and Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts, if any, as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Tax authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made.

(j) Investment of the Exchange Fund. Parent may cause the Information and Exchange Agent to invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund solely in cash or cash equivalent investments, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis, in Parent’s sole discretion; provided, however, that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable or the timing of the amounts payable to the holders of Common Units converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to this

Article III. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid promptly to Parent.

Section 3.3 Unit Election.

(a) Each holder of record of Common Units (other than Sponsor Units) as of immediately prior to the Election Deadline shall be entitled to elect, in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal, to forego the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to all of such Person’s Common Units and instead receive Rollover Units with respect to all of such Person’s Common Units (a “Unit Election”).

(b) Any Unit Election may be revoked with respect to the Common Units subject thereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal. If a Unit Election is revoked, the Common Units as to which such election previously applied shall be treated as Common Units in accordance with Section 3.1(a) unless a Unit Election is submitted by the holder of such Common Units in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal.

(c) Any Unit Election shall have been properly made only if (i) the Information and Exchange Agent shall have received by the date and time set forth in the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal (the “Election Deadline”) a completed Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal or (ii) such Unit Election has been made at or prior to the Election Deadline pursuant any other procedures set forth in the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal. After a Unit Election is validly made with respect to any Common Units, no further registration of transfers of such Common Units shall be made on the unit transfer books of the Partnership unless and until such Unit Election is properly revoked in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal.

(d) As of the Effective Time, all Common Units exchanged for the Rollover Units pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist. As of the Effective Time, each holder of Certificated Units or beneficial owner of Book-Entry Units that has made a Unit Election shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Unit Alternative in exchange therefor upon surrender of such Certificated Unit or Book-Entry Unit in accordance with Section 3.2(d) without interest.

(e) Each Common Unit with respect to which a Unit Election has been effectively made and not revoked pursuant to the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal shall be exchanged for one Rollover Unit (the “Unit Alternative”), which Rollover Unit shall be issued in uncertificated book-entry form in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Information Statement (including the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal) and will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid (to the extent required under the Restated Partnership Agreement) and non-assessable (except as set forth in the Restated Partnership Agreement or as such non-assessability may be affected by Sections 30, 41, 51 and 60 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands LP Act).

(f) The reasonable good faith determination of the Information and Exchange Agent (or the reasonable good faith determination of Parent, in the event that the Information and

Exchange Agent declines to make any such determination) shall be conclusive and binding as to whether or not Unit Elections shall have been properly made or revoked pursuant to the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal, as to when Unit Elections and revocations were received by the Information and Exchange Agent and to disregard immaterial defects in a completed Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal. None of Parent, the Partnership or the Information and Exchange Agent shall be under any obligations to notify any Person of any defect in a completed Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.3 to the contrary, the Information and Exchange Agent may, with the written agreement of Parent (subject to the consent of the Partnership), make any rules or procedures as are consistent with this Section 3.3 for the implementation of Unit Elections provided for in this Agreement as shall be necessary or desirable to administer Unit Elections.

Section 3.4 Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) Restricted Stock Units. As of the Effective Time, each Restricted Stock Unit shall be converted into a restricted stock unit award with respect to the same number of Rollover Units as the number of Common Units to which such Restricted Stock Unit was subject (each, an “Assumed Restricted Stock Unit”), and otherwise with the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to vesting and termination-related vesting provisions) as applied to the award of Restricted Stock Units for which they were exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of the Partnership GP are appropriate to conform the administration of the Assumed Restricted Stock Units.

(b) Phantom Stock Units. As of the Effective Time, each Phantom Stock Unit shall be converted into a phantom stock unit award with respect to the same number of Rollover Units as the number of Common Units to which such Phantom Stock Unit was subject (each, an “Assumed Phantom Stock Unit”), and otherwise with the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Phantom Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to vesting and termination-related vesting provisions) as applied to the award of Phantom Stock Units for which they were exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of the Partnership GP are appropriate to conform the administration of the Assumed Phantom Stock Units.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Partnership and the Partnership GP shall take all actions (including adopting resolutions) as may be necessary to provide for or give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.4, including but not limited to the assumption of the Partnership Long-Term Incentive Plan by the Surviving Entity. Prior to any such adoption, the Partnership shall provide Parent with drafts of, and a reasonable opportunity to comment on, all such resolutions. At the Effective Time, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, assume all the obligations of the Partnership under the Partnership Long-Term Incentive Plan, each outstanding Assumed Restricted Stock Unit and Assumed Phantom Stock Unit and the agreements evidencing the grants thereof.

(d) As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, the Partnership shall file post-effective amendments to the Form S-8 registration statements filed by the Partnership on November 28, 2007 and March 10, 2017, respectively, deregistering all Common Units thereunder.

Section 3.6 No Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, solely to the extent that the Partnership or the Partnership GP or any applicable Subsidiary thereof would be permitted to indemnify an Indemnified Person immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity and the Partnership GP jointly and severally agree to (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless against any cost or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, settlements, fines and other sanctions, losses, claims, damages or liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened Proceeding, and provide advancement of expenses with respect to each of the foregoing to, all Indemnified Persons to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and (ii) honor the provisions regarding elimination of liability of officers and directors, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses contained in the Organizational Documents of the Partnership and the Partnership GP and any applicable Subsidiary of the Partnership immediately prior to the Effective Time and ensure that the Organizational Documents of the Partnership and the Partnership GP or any of their respective successors or assigns, if applicable, shall, for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of the Partnership, the Partnership GP and the Partnership’s Subsidiaries than are presently set forth in such Organizational Documents. Any right of an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 6.7(a) shall not be amended, repealed, terminated or otherwise modified at any time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of such Indemnified Person as provided herein, and shall be enforceable by such Indemnified Person and their respective heirs and Representatives against the Surviving Entity and the Partnership GP and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) The rights of any Indemnified Person under this Section 6.7 shall be in addition to any other rights such Indemnified Person may have under the Organizational Documents of the Partnership or the Partnership GP, any indemnification agreements, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands LP Act or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands LLC Act. The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby for a period of six (6) years and are expressly intended to benefit each of the Indemnified Persons and their respective heirs and Representatives; provided, however, that in the event that any claim or claims for indemnification or advancement set forth in this Section 6.7 are asserted or made within such six (6) year period, all rights to indemnification and advancement in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until disposition of all such claims. If the Surviving Entity and/or the Partnership GP, or any of their respective successors or assigns, (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of their businesses or assets to any other Person, then, in each such case, to the extent necessary, a proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Entity or the Partnership GP shall assume the obligations of the Surviving Entity and the Partnership GP set forth in this Section 6.7.

(c) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Partnership GP shall maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance with a nationally reputable carrier covering each member of the GP Conflicts Committee and all directors of the Partnership GP other than officers or persons employed by a Brookfield entity, on terms substantially no less advantageous to such members than existing insurance with respect to acts or omissions, or alleged acts or omissions, occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (regardless of when such claims are asserted); provided, however, that in no event shall the Partnership GP be required to pay an annual premium therefor in excess of 300% of the current annual premium paid by the Partnership or the Partnership GP for such member’s current coverage (the “Maximum Amount”). In the event that, but for the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the Partnership GP would be required to expend more than the Maximum Amount, the Partnership GP shall obtain the maximum amount of such insurance as is available for the Maximum Amount. The Partnership GP shall have the right, in its sole discretion, in lieu of its obligations under this Section 6.7(c), to cause such coverage to be extended under the applicable existing policy or policies by obtaining a six year “tail” policy on terms that are no less advantageous to such members than the existing coverage with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time that were committed or alleged to have been committed by such members in their capacity as such.

Section 6.8 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 or as set forth in Section 6.8 of the Partnership Disclosure Schedule, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby including all legal, accounting, financial advisory, consulting and all other fees and expenses of third parties incurred by a Party in connection with the negotiation and effectuation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be the obligation of the respective Party incurring such fees and expenses, except Parent and the Partnership shall each bear and pay one half of any filing fee under the HSR Act and any other applicable Antitrust Law.

Section 6.9 Termination of Trading and Deregistration. The Partnership will cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies

of the NYSE to enable (a) the delisting of the Common Units from the NYSE and the termination of trading of the Common Units on the Closing Date and prior to the Effective Time and (b) the deregistration of the Common Units under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event no more than ten (10) days after the Closing Date.

Section 6.10 Takeover Statutes. The Partnership, the Partnership GP and Parent shall each use reasonable best efforts to (a) take all action necessary to ensure that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) if any Takeover Statute becomes applicable to any of the transactions contemplated hereby, take all action necessary to ensure that such transaction may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise minimize the effect of such Takeover Statute or Law on the transaction.

Section 6.11 No Rights Triggered. The Partnership and the Partnership GP shall use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that the entering into of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby or related thereto and any other action or combination of actions do not and will not result in the grant of any Rights to any Person under the Partnership Agreement or under any material agreement to which the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries is a party.

Section 6.12 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of the Partnership, the Partnership GP and Parent shall give prompt notice to the other of (a) any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (i) could reasonably be expected to, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, result in any Partnership Material Adverse Effect or prevent, materially delay or impair the ability of such Party to consummate the Merger or comply with its respective obligations under this Agreement or (ii) could cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein, (b) (i) any change in the Partnership’s financial condition or business that results in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Partnership Material Adverse Effect or (ii) any Proceedings, to the extent such Proceedings relate to this Agreement or the Merger or result in a Partnership Material Adverse Effect, or (c) any notice or other communication received from any Governmental Authority or other Person related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VII not to be satisfied or to cause the satisfaction thereof to be materially delayed.

Section 6.13 Transaction Litigation. The Partnership shall give Parent prompt notice and the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any security holder litigation against the Partnership, the Partnership GP or their respective directors relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that the Partnership and the Partnership GP shall in any event control such defense and/or settlement and shall not be required to provide information if doing so would be

reasonably expected to threaten the loss of any attorney-client privilege or other applicable legal privilege.

Section 6.14 Distributions. Until the Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement, the Partnership GP shall, upon resolution of the GP Board in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Partnership Agreement, and subject to compliance with applicable law, declare, and cause the Partnership to pay, quarterly Series A Distributions, Series B Distributions and Series E Distributions.

Section 6.15 Performance by the Partnership GP and the Partnership. The Sole GP Member will cause the Partnership GP, the Partnership and their respective Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that actions or inactions by the Partnership, the Partnership GP and the Partnership’s Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be breaches or violations or failures to perform by the Partnership, the Partnership GP and the Partnership’s Subsidiaries of any of the provisions of this Agreement if such action or inaction was or was not taken, as applicable, at the direction of or with the written consent of Parent, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives.

Section 6.16 Conflicts Committee. Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, each of the Sole GP Member and Parent shall not and each shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, and each shall not and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to take any action intended to cause the Partnership GP to, without the consent of a majority of the then existing members of the GP Conflicts Committee, eliminate the GP Conflicts Committee, revoke or diminish the authority of the GP Conflicts Committee or remove or cause the removal of any director of the Partnership GP that is a member of the GP Conflicts Committee either as a director or as a member of such committee. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.16 shall not apply to the filling, in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership GP LLC Agreement, of any vacancies caused by the resignation, death or incapacity of any such director.

(i) if Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement (or if any such representations or warranties of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement shall fail to be true), which breach or failure (A) would (if it occurred or was continuing as of the Closing Date) give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) and (B) is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by Parent or Merger Sub within the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice from the Partnership of such breach or failure or (y) the Outside Date; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d)(i) if the Partnership or the Partnership GP is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

(ii) if at any time prior to Closing there is a Restraint in effect having the effect set forth in Section 7.1(b); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d)(ii) shall not be available to the Partnership if such Restraint was due to the failure of the Partnership or the Partnership GP to

perform in all material respects any of their respective obligations under this Agreement;

(iii) if (A) all of the closing conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 were and continue to be satisfied (other than such conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by the delivery of documents or the taking of any other action at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of such conditions at the Closing) and the Closing has not occurred by the time required under Section 2.2, (B) the Partnership GP has confirmed by irrevocable written notice delivered to Parent that (x) all conditions set forth in Section 7.3 have been and remain satisfied (other than such conditions as, by their nature, are to be satisfied by the delivery of documents or the taking of any other action at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of such conditions at Closing) or that the Partnership has irrevocably waived any unsatisfied condition in Section 7.3 and (y) each of the Partnership and the Partnership GP stands ready, willing and able to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Closing) on the date of such notice and at all times during the five (5) Business Day period immediately thereafter (such notice, a “Closing Failure Notice”), and (C) Parent fails to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Closing) within such five (5) Business Day period after the date of delivery of a Closing Failure Notice; or

(iv) if in accordance with Section 6.17.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other Party or Parties, specifying the provision of this Agreement pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than the provisions in Section 6.8, Section 6.13, this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article IX, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement), and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.2, there shall be no liability on the part of any of Parent, Merger Sub, the Brookfield Affiliated Holders, the Sole GP Member, the Partnership, the Partnership GP or any of their respective directors, officers or Affiliates; provided, however, that no such termination shall relieve the Partnership from its obligation to pay the Parent Expenses as and when required pursuant to Section 8.3 or Parent from its obligation to pay the Partnership Expenses as and when required pursuant to Section 8.3 or any Party from any liability for any failure to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby when required pursuant to this Agreement; provided further, however, that, in the event of the Partnership’s or the Partnership GP’s Willful Breach of this Agreement or intentional fraud, then Parent shall be entitled to pursue any and all legally available remedies, including equitable relief, and to seek recovery of all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses of every kind and nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and time value of money) in an amount not to exceed $6.75 million (the “Partnership Cap”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership’s and the Partnership GP’s aggregate liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the Partnership Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Partnership GP or the Partnership have any liability for any matter set forth in the provisos of the first sentence of this Section 8.2(a) for any action taken or

omitted to be taken by the Partnership GP, the Partnership, any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives at the direction or with the written consent of Parent, the Sole GP Member or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.2(a) or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i), Section 8.1(d)(iii) or pursuant to Section 8.1(b) (if the Partnership could have terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i)), then Parent shall, within two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination, deliver an amount equal to $25 million (the “Parent Termination Fee”) to the Partnership (or its designated Subsidiary assignee) by wire transfer of immediately available funds (it being understood that in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion). Solely for purposes of establishing the basis for the amount of the Parent Termination Fee, and without in any way increasing the amount of the Parent Termination Fee or expanding the circumstances in which the Parent Termination Fee is to be paid, it is agreed that the Parent Termination Fee is a liquidated damage and not a penalty. Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Agreement; accordingly, if Parent fails to timely pay the Parent Termination Fee when due pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) and, in order to obtain the payment, the Partnership commences a Proceeding which results in a judgment against Parent for any payment set forth in this Section 8.2(b), Parent shall pay the Partnership its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including outside attorney’s fees and disbursements) in connection with such Proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parent Termination Fee (together with the specific performance rights in accordance with Section 9.8) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise, and whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership veil or directly or indirectly through any other Person) of the Partnership or the Partnership GP or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person against Parent, Merger Sub, the Brookfield Affiliated Holders, the Sole GP Member or any of their respective Affiliates, or any direct or indirect, former, current or future, equity holder or Representative of any of the foregoing (each a “Parent Related Party”), for any damages, liabilities or other adverse consequences incurred by the Partnership, the Partnership GP or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives or any other Person for any failure by Parent and Merger Sub to effect the Closing for any or no reason or any other breach by Parent, Merger Sub, the Brookfield Affiliated Holders or the Sole GP Member of this Agreement, and the Partnership, Partnership GP and their respective Affiliates shall not otherwise be entitled to make any claim against any Parent Related Parties, and the Parent Related Parties shall have no further liability to the Partnership, the Partnership GP or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person therefor, except that the Partnership may seek specific performance of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations hereunder as and only to the extent permitted under Section 9.8; provided, however, that in no event shall the Partnership, the Partnership GP or any of their respective Affiliates be entitled to a grant of both specific performance pursuant to Section 9.8 and the Parent Termination Fee. The Parent Related Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 8.2.

Section 8.3 Parent Expenses; Partnership Expenses. If this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(i) (Partnership Terminable Breach), the

Partnership shall pay to Parent the Parent Expenses concurrently with such termination. Any payment of Parent Expenses shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent. If this Agreement is validly terminated by the Partnership pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) (Parent Terminable Breach), Parent shall pay to the Partnership the Partnership Expenses concurrently with such termination; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to pay the Partnership Expenses in the event that the Parent Termination Fee is paid. Any payment of the Partnership Expenses shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Partnership.

ARTICLE IX
Miscellaneous

Section 9.1 No Survival, Etc. The representations, warranties and agreements in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any schedule, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement) shall terminate at the Effective Time or, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2 upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, as the case may be, except that the agreements set forth in Article I, Article II, Article III, Section 6.7, Section 6.8 and Section 6.13 and any other agreement in this Agreement that contemplates performance after the Effective Time shall survive the Effective Time.

Section 9.2 Amendment or Supplement. At any time prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented in any and all respects, whether before or after receipt of the Partnership Unitholder Approval, by written agreement of the Parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by the Parent General Partner and the GP Board; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented unless such amendment, modification or supplement is approved by the GP Conflicts Committee; provided further, that following receipt of the Partnership Unitholder Approval, there shall be no amendment or change to the provisions of this Agreement which by applicable Law or stock exchange rule would require further approval by the Limited Partners, as applicable, without such approval. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, whenever a determination, decision, approval, consent, waiver or agreement of the Partnership or the Partnership GP is required pursuant to this Agreement (including any determination to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights under Article VIII or to enforce the terms of this Agreement (including Section 9.8)), such determination, decision, approval, consent, waiver or agreement must be authorized by the GP Conflicts Committee and, unless otherwise required by the Partnership Agreement or applicable Law, such action shall not require approval of the holders of Common Units.

Section 9.3 Extension of Time, Waiver, Etc. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any Party may, subject to applicable Law, (a) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other Party hereto, (b) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of any other Party hereto, (c) waive compliance by the other Party with any of the agreements contained herein or, except as otherwise provided herein, waive any of such Party’s conditions or (d) make or grant any consent under this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Partnership nor the Partnership GP shall take or authorize any such action without the prior approval of the GP Conflicts Committee. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Partnership, the Partnership

GP, Parent or Merger Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a Party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party.

Section 9.4 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except that (a) Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Merger Sub of any of its obligations hereunder, and (b) the Partnership may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any Subsidiary of the Partnership, but no such assignment shall relieve the Partnership of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 9.4 shall be null and void.

Section 9.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement) and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.

Section 9.6 Entire Understanding; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and any certificates delivered by any Party pursuant to this Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement and understanding, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and thereof and (b) shall not confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto any rights (including third-party beneficiary rights or otherwise) or remedies hereunder, except for, in the case of clause (b), (i) the provisions of Section 6.7 and Section 9.11, (ii) the right of the holders of Common Units to receive the Merger Consideration or Rollover Units after the Closing (a claim by the holders of Common Units with respect to which may not be made unless and until the Closing shall have occurred) or to receive amounts to which they are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(i) and (iii) the Parent Related Parties as set forth in Section 8.2(b). Any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are subject to waiver by the Parties hereto in accordance with Section 9.3 without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the Parties hereto may not rely upon the representations

and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

Section 9.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to Contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that State, regardless of the Law that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Law thereof. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or Proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the Parties hereto consents to service of process being made upon it through the notice procedures set forth in Section 9.9, irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or Proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or Proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 9.7, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (A) the suit, action or Proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action or Proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each Party hereto expressly acknowledges that the foregoing waiver is intended to be irrevocable under the Law of the State of Delaware and of the United States of America; provided, however, that each such Party’s consent to jurisdiction and service contained in this Section 9.7(a) is solely for the purposes referred to in this Section 9.7(a) and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to such courts or in the State of Delaware other than for such purpose.

(b) EACH RELATED PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 9.8 Specific Performance.

(a) The Parties each agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed (including failing to take such actions as are required of it

hereunder in order to consummate the Merger) in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and it is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, in accordance with this Section 9.8 (including, with respect to the Partnership or the Partnership GP, the conditions in Section 9.8(b)) in the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept personal jurisdiction, any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (i) either Party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity (it being understood that nothing in this sentence shall prohibit the Parties hereto from raising other defenses to a claim for specific performance or other equitable relief under this Agreement). Each Party further agrees that no Party shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 9.8, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Partnership and the Partnership GP shall be entitled to specific performance of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations, as applicable, to cause the Equity Financing to be funded in accordance with the Equity Commitment Letter and to consummate the Closing if, and only if, each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) all of the closing conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 were and continue to be satisfied (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which shall be capable of being satisfied on the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2) at the time when the Closing would have been required to occur but for the failure of the Equity Financing to be funded; (ii) Parent fails to complete the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2; and (iii) the Partnership and the Partnership GP have confirmed in a written notice delivered to Parent that if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing is funded, then the Partnership and the Partnership GP will take all actions that are within their control to cause the Closing to occur.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, while the Partnership or Partnership GP may pursue both a grant of specific performance as and only to the extent expressly permitted by this Section 9.8 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee, under no circumstances shall Parent be obligated to both specifically perform the terms of this Agreement and pay the Parent Termination Fee.

Section 9.9 Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed duly given if delivered personally or by facsimile transmission, or mailed through a nationally recognized overnight courier or registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid, to the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for

a party as specified by like notice; provided, however, that notices of a change of address will be effective only upon receipt thereof):

Section 9.10 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties (a) intend and agree that Section 8.2, Section 9.8(b) and Section 9.11 be construed as integral provisions of this Agreement and (b) agree that in no event shall the provisions of Section 8.2, Section 9.8(b) and Section 9.11 that limit the damages that may be recovered or the remedies that may be exercised by the Partnership or the Partnership GP be deemed severable from the remainder of this Agreement, and if all or any portion of such provisions are deemed unenforceable, this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.

Section 9.11 Non-Recourse. Except for any claim or cause of action arising under or related to any letter of transmittal or documentation delivered in connection with payment of Merger Consideration through DTC and any remedy against the Equity Financing Sources with respect to their obligations and liabilities expressly provided for under the Equity Commitment Letter, any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought against Persons that are expressly named as Parties, and then only with respect to

the specific obligations set forth herein. Except for any liability or obligation arising under or related to any letter of transmittal or documentation delivered in connection with payment of Merger Consideration through DTC and any remedy against the Equity Financing Sources with respect to their obligations and liabilities expressly provided for under the Equity Commitment Letter, no former, current or future direct or indirect equityholders, controlling Persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, members, managers, agents, trustees, Affiliates, general or limited partners or assignees of the Parties (except permitted assignees under Section 9.4) or of any former, current or future direct or indirect equityholder, controlling Person, stockholder, director, officer, employee, member, manager, agent, trustee, Affiliate, general or limited partner or assignee of any of the foregoing (collectively, but for the avoidance of doubt excluding the Parties) will have any liability or obligation for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, obligations or liabilities of any Party under this Agreement or for any Proceeding based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger (including the breach, termination or failure to consummate any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger), in each case whether based on contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable Proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Law or otherwise and whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate or partnership veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of a Party hereto or another Person or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will the Brookfield Affiliated Holders or the Sole GP Member be subject to or liable for (whether at law, in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise, and whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership veil or directly or indirectly through any other Person) any monetary damages to the Partnership, the Partnership GP or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person, for any damages, liabilities or other adverse consequences incurred by the Partnership, the Partnership GP or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives or any other Person for any breach by the Brookfield Affiliated Holders or the Sole GP Member of this Agreement, and the Partnership, the Partnership GP and their respective Affiliates shall not otherwise be entitled to make any claim against the Brookfield Affiliated Holders or the Sole GP Member, and the Brookfield Affiliated Holders and the Sole GP Member shall have no further liability to the Partnership, the Partnership GP or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person therefor, except that the Partnership and the Partnership GP shall be entitled to seek specific performance of this Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter, in each case, as and only to the extent permitted hereunder and thereunder.
