(a) Preparation of the Prospectus and Registration Statement. Prior to the termination of the offering of the Units, the Partnership will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement unless the Partnership has furnished to you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. The Partnership will cause the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed in a form approved by the Representatives, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filing. The Partnership will promptly advise the Representatives (i) when the Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or when any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have been filed with the Commission, (ii) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Units, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any notice objecting to its use or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Partnership of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Units for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Partnership will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration
19
Statement and, upon such issuance, occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its commercially reasonable efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.
(b) Notification Regarding Disclosure Package. If, at any time prior to the filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time not misleading, the Partnership will (i) notify promptly the Representatives so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.
(c) Filing of Amendment or Supplement. If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Units is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or the circumstances then prevailing not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the rules thereunder, the Partnership promptly will (i) notify the Representatives of any such event; (ii) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and (iii) supply any supplemented prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

The Partnership will furnish or make available via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“▇▇▇▇▇”) to its unitholders annual reports containing financial statements audited by independent public accountants and quarterly reports containing financial statements and financial information which may be unaudited. The Partnership will, for a period of two years from the Closing Date, furnish or make available via ▇▇▇▇▇, to the Underwriters a copy of each annual report, quarterly report, current report and all other documents, reports and information furnished by the Partnership to its unitholders (excluding any periodic income tax reporting materials) or filed with any securities exchange or market pursuant to the requirements of such exchange or market or with the Commission pursuant to the Act or the Exchange Act (other than any annual chief executive officer certification and annual written affirmations to the NYSE).

The Partnership will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters photocopies of signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to each other Underwriter a copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), as many copies of each preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request.
(g) Qualification of Units. The Partnership will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Units for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may reasonably designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as reasonably required for the distribution of the Units; provided that in no event shall the Partnership be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Units, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject. The Partnership will, from time to time, prepare and file such statements and reports as are or may be reasonably required of it to continue such qualifications in effect for so long a period as the Representatives may reasonably request for the distribution of the Units.

22
Regulations or any agent or “Specially Designated National” of any country the subject of the Sanctions Laws and Regulations, or any person or entity of any country the subject of the Sanctions Laws and Regulations.

The Partnership will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, copies of the Final Term Sheet promptly upon its completion.
(q) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. The Partnership agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representatives, it will not make any offer relating to the Units that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” or a portion thereof, required to be filed by the Partnership with the Commission or retained by the Partnership under Rule 433; provided that the Representatives will be deemed to have consented to the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectuses listed on Schedule V hereto and any “road show that is a written communication” within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i) that has been reviewed by the Representatives.

If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or condition as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Partnership will promptly notify the Representatives in writing and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.
(r) NYSE Listing.

(xix) Accuracy of Statements. The statements (A) in the Partnership’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “Form 20-F”) under the captions “Item 4. Information on the Partnership—E. Taxation of the Partnership—▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands Taxation,” “Item 10. Additional Information—Non-United States Tax Consequences—▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands Tax Consequences” and (B) in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus under the captions “Non-United States Tax Considerations—▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands Tax Considerations,” and “Service of Process and Enforcement of Civil Liabilities” insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands Law or legal conclusions of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands Law, fairly describe in all material respects the portions of the statutes and regulations addressed thereby, subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated therein.
(xx) Choice of Law. The choice of New York law to govern this Agreement constitutes a valid choice of law under ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands Law.
(xxi) Non-Exclusive Jurisdiction. The submission by the Partnership to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, is a valid submission under ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands Law.
(xxii) Enforcement of Judgments. A judgment granted by a foreign court against the Partnership may be recognized in the Republic of The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands, so long as the foreign judgment grants or denies recovery of a sum of money, and is final and conclusive and enforceable where rendered even though an appeal therefrom is pending, or subject to appeal. A foreign judgment is not conclusive if: (A) the judgment was rendered under a system which does not provide impartial tribunals or procedures compatible with the requirements of due process of law, (B) the foreign court did not have personal jurisdiction over the defendant, (C) the foreign court did not have jurisdiction over the subject matter, or (D) the foreign court does not recognize or enforce the judgments of any other foreign nation. A foreign judgment need not be recognized if: (A) the defendant in the proceedings in the foreign court did not receive notice of the proceedings in sufficient time to enable him to defend, (B) the judgment was obtained by fraud, (C), the cause of action on which the judgment is based is repugnant to the public policy of the Republic of The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands, (D) the judgment conflicts with another final and conclusive judgment, (E) the proceeding in the foreign court was contrary to an agreement between the parties under which the dispute in question was to be settled otherwise than by proceedings in the court, or (F) in the case of jurisdiction based only on personal service, the foreign court was a seriously inconvenient forum for the trial of the action.
(xxiii) Unit Certificate. The form of the certificate representing the Units does not violate the laws of the Republic of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands.
29
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may (A) rely in respect of matters of fact upon certificates of officers and employees of the Teekay Entities and upon information obtained from public officials, (B) assume that all documents submitted to them as originals are authentic, that all copies submitted to them conform to the originals thereof, and that the signatures on all documents examined by them are genuine and (C) state that their opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the laws of The Republic of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands and United States federal law.
(f) The Partnership shall have requested and caused ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, special English counsel for the Partnership, to have furnished to you their written opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to you, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, to the effect that:
(i) Applicable Law and Submission to Arbitration. (A) The English courts or an English arbitral tribunal, applying English conflict of laws rules, would hold that English law is the applicable law of the Purchase Agreement; and (B) the agreement in the Purchase Agreement on submission of disputes for arbitration is effective and, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the arbitral tribunal may rule on its own substantive jurisdiction, that is: (i) as to whether there is a valid arbitration agreement; (ii) as to whether the tribunal is validly constituted; and (iii) as to what matters have been submitted to arbitration in accordance with the arbitration agreement.
(ii) Enforceability. The Purchase Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the parties thereto, enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with its terms.
(iii) No Required Consents or Registrations. No consent, approval or authorization of any governmental or official authority in England applicable to companies generally is required in connection with the Purchase Agreement in order for it to be enforceable under English law or to be admissible in an English court; and it is not necessary to deliver or register the Purchase Agreement to or at any public office in England.
(g) The Partnership shall have requested and caused ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Coie LLP, counsel for the Partnership, to have furnished to you their written opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to you, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, to the effect that:

The statements in the (A) Registration Statement, Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” and (B) in the Form 20-F under the captions “Item 4. Information on the Partnership—E. Taxation of the Partnership—United States Taxation” and “Item 10. Additional Information—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” with respect to legal matters or legal conclusions, in all material respects, is an accurate discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations addressed therein (except for the representations and statements of fact of the Partnership included in such discussion, as to which such counsel need not opine or comment).
30
(ii) Tax Opinion. The opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Coie LLP that is filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration Statement is confirmed and the Underwriters may rely upon such opinion as if it were addressed to them.

To the knowledge of such counsel, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between any of the Teekay Entities and any person granting such person the right to require any of the Teekay Entities to file a registration statement under the Act with respect to any securities of any of the Teekay Entities owned or to be owned by such person or to require any of the Teekay Entities to include such securities in the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or in any securities being registered pursuant to any other registration statement filed by any Teekay Entity under the Act, except for any such rights held by (A) the General Partner or an Affiliate (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of the General Partner pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, (B) certain institutional investors pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Partnership and the Investors named on Schedule A thereto, dated as of November 25, 2011, (C) certain institutional investors pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Partnership and the Investors named on Schedule A thereto, dated as of July 12, 2012 and (D) certain institutional investors pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Partnership and the Investors named on Schedule A thereto, dated as of April 19, 2013 (collectively, the “Registration Rights”), which Registration Rights have been waived or do not apply with respect to this Offering.
(v) Accuracy of Statements. The statements (A) in the Registration Statement under the caption “Description of Series A Preferred Units,” (B) in the Form 8-A under the caption “The Partnership Agreement” and (C) in subsection (b) in the Form 20-F under the caption “Item 7. Major Unitholders and Related Party Transactions—B. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions,” insofar as they constitute descriptions of agreements, fairly describe in all material respects the portions of the agreements addressed thereby, and the Series A Preferred Units conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Registration Statement under the caption “Description of the Series A Preferred Units” and in the Form 8-A/A filed May 13, 2011, as amended as of the Closing Date, under the captions “Our Partnership Agreement” and “Cash Distributions”; provided, however, that such counsel need not express any opinion with respect to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands law.
(vi) Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The Registration Statement became effective under the Act on April 22, 2013 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement became effective under the Act on April 23, 2013; each preliminary prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the
31
Prospectus have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) and Rule 433, as applicable, in a manner and within the time period required by the 1933 Act Regulations; and, to the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Act and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or is pending or threatened by the Commission.
(vii) Compliance as to Form. Without independent verification of the factual accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, each of the Registration Statement, on the Effective Date, the Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, and the Prospectus, when filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date (except for the financial statements and financial schedules, and other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion) appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
(viii) No Conflicts. None of the offering, issuance and sale by the Partnership of the Units, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby conflicts with or constitutes a breach or violation of, or a default under (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default), any indenture, contract, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (including any document filed as an exhibit to any document incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement), which conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (Such counsel is not required to comment or opine as to compliance with any financial covenants or financial ratios contained in any such documents).
(ix) Documents Incorporated by Reference. The documents filed under the Exchange Act (excluding exhibits thereto) and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto made by the Partnership prior to the Closing Date (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

To the knowledge of such counsel, (A) there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving any Teekay Entity or its property of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus that is not disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as
32
required and (B) there is no agreement, franchise, contract, indenture, lease or other document or instrument of a character that is required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus by the Act or to be filed by the Act as an exhibit to the Registration Statement that is not described or filed as required.
(xi) Investment Company. No Teekay Entity is, nor immediately upon giving effect to the Offering, the sale of the Units and the application of the proceeds thereof as described under “Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus, will be an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(xii) Certificate for Units. The form of the certificate representing the Units (i) complies with the requirements of the Restated Partnership Agreement and (ii) complies in all material respects with the requirements and rules of the NYSE.
In addition, such counsel shall state that, in the course of such counsel’s participation, as United States counsel to the Partnership, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, such counsel has attended conferences with, among others, representatives of the Underwriters, officers and other representatives of the Teekay Entities and the independent public accountants for the Partnership, at which conferences the contents of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus were discussed. Such counsel shall also state that, without undertaking to determine independently or assuming any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, no facts have come to such counsel’s attention that cause such counsel to believe that: (i) the Registration Statement, as of its Effective Date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) the Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) the Prospectus, as of its issue date or as of the Closing Date, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that such counsel need not express any statement or belief with respect to (x) any financial statements, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditor’s reports, if any thereon or (y) other financial or statistical data included in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus).
(h) The Partnership shall have requested and caused ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Vice President and Associate General Counsel for Teekay, to have furnished to you a letter, dated the Closing Date and addressed to you, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, which shall state that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Teekay Entities and the independent public accountants of the Partnership and its representatives, at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed, and although such counsel has not independently verified, is not passing on, and is not assuming any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in, the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, no facts have come to such counsel’s
33
attention that cause such counsel to believe that: (i) the Registration Statement (other than (x) the financial statements included therein, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditors’ reports thereon, and (y) the other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which such counsel need not comment), as of its 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, (ii) the Disclosure Package (other than (x) the financial statements included therein, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditors’ reports thereon, and (y) the other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which such counsel need not comment), as of the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) the Prospectus (other than (x) the financial statements included therein, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditors’ reports thereon, and (y) the other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which such counsel need not comment), as of its issue date and the Closing Date contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

34
(l) The General Partner shall have furnished to the Underwriters a certificate signed by its principal executive officer and the principal financial officer dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined this Agreement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Disclosure Package and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto and that:
(i) the representations and warranties of the Teekay Parties in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and each Teekay Party has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date;
(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to such officer’s knowledge, threatened;
(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any supplement thereto) or the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse effect on the general affairs, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, business, properties, assets or prospects of the Teekay Entities, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any supplement thereto) or the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto); and
(iv) such other matters as you may reasonably request.
(m) The Partnership shall have requested and caused Teekay Holdings to furnish to the Underwriters a certificate signed by its President dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, to the effect that:
(i) Teekay Holdings beneficially owns (A) the Sponsor Units and (B) 100% of the membership interests in the General Partner, in each case, free and clear of all pledges, liens, encumbrances, security interests or other claims, except (i) as otherwise described in, referred to or disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, (ii) any pledges, liens or security interests pursuant to credit agreements, security agreements or financing documents described in, referred to or disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, and (iii) restrictions on transferability contained in the relevant organizational documents or under applicable securities laws, as applicable; and
(ii) such other matters as you may reasonably request.
35
(n) The Partnership shall have requested and caused each of (i) KPMG LLP and (ii) Ernst & Young LLP to have furnished to the Underwriters, at the time of execution of this Agreement and at the Closing Date, letters, dated respectively as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives.
(o) Subsequent to the Applicable Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any supplement thereto) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (k) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, condition (financial or otherwise), stockholders’ equity, partners’ equity, members’ equity, results of operations, business, properties, assets or prospects of the Teekay Entities taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Units as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any supplement thereto) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
(p) Prior to the Closing Date, the Teekay Entities shall have furnished to the Underwriters such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request.
(q) Subsequent to the Applicable Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the debt securities of any of the Teekay Entities, if applicable, by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.
(r) If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Partnership in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.
7. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Units provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Teekay Parties to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Teekay Parties will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand for all out of pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Units.
36
8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Teekay Parties, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Teekay Parties will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Teekay Parties through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Teekay Parties may otherwise have.
(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Teekay Parties, each of their respective directors, each of their respective officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Teekay Parties within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the indemnity in Section 8(a) from the Teekay Parties to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Teekay Parties through the Representatives by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Underwriters confirm and the Teekay Parties acknowledge that the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Units and, the information in the first paragraph under the heading “Underwriting–Commissions and Discounts,” the information in the second, third and fourth paragraphs under the heading “Underwriting–Price Stabilization and Short Positions” and the information under the heading “Underwriting–Electronic Distribution” in the Prospectus constitute the only information concerning the Underwriters furnished in writing to the Partnership through the Representatives by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the
37
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 one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) 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, the Teekay Parties, severally and jointly, and the Underwriters, severally, agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which one or more of the Teekay Parties and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Teekay Parties on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the Offering; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Units) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Units purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Teekay Parties and the Underwriters severally shall
38
contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Teekay Parties on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Teekay Parties shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Teekay Parties on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Teekay Parties and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls any of the Teekay Parties within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Teekay Parties who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Teekay Parties shall have the same rights to contribution as the Teekay Parties, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).
9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Units agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Units set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Units set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Units which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Units which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Units set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Units, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Units, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Teekay Parties. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Teekay Parties and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
39
10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Partnership prior to delivery of and payment for the Units, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in the Partnership’s Common Units or the Series A Preferred Units shall have been suspended by the Commission or the NYSE or trading in securities generally on the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Units as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (in each case exclusive of any supplement thereto).
11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Teekay Parties or their officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Teekay Parties or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Units. The provisions of Sections 5(k), 7, 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to (a) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, attention of High Grade Transaction Management/Legal, fax (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, with copies to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co.

14. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.

40
16. Judicial Proceedings.
(a) The Teekay Parties irrevocably (i) agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding against the Teekay Parties arising out of or based upon this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or alleged violations of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States may be instituted in any New York court, (ii) waive, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any New York court and (iii) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Teekay Parties has appointed ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, New York, New York, as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”), upon whom process may be served in any such action arising out of or based on this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or any alleged violation of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States which may be instituted in any New York court, expressly consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such action, and waives any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. Such appointment shall be irrevocable. The Teekay Parties represent and warrant that the Authorized Agent has agreed to act as such agent for service of process and agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such service to the Teekay Parties shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Teekay Parties.
(b) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriters could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in the City of New York on the business day proceeding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Teekay Parties in respect of any sum due from it to the Underwriters shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by the Underwriters of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) the Underwriters may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency; if the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Underwriters hereunder, the Teekay Parties agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, that the party responsible for such judgment shall indemnify the Underwriters against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to the Underwriters hereunder, the Underwriters agree to pay to the Teekay Parties an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to the Underwriters hereunder.
17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
18. Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
41
19. No Fiduciary Duty. The Partnership hereby acknowledges that (a) the Underwriters are acting as a principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Partnership and (b) its engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the Offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Partnership agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the Offering (irrespective of whether the Underwriters have advised or are currently advising the Partnership on related or other matters).
