party or by which Seller is bound or to which any of the property, right or assets of any of Seller is subject; (b) result in any violation of the provisions of the Organizational Documents of any of Seller; or (c) result in any violation
of any law or statute or any judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, except, in the case of clauses (a) and (c) above, for any such conflict, breach, violation or default
that would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 Section 3.9 Certain Fees. Other than as described in the Placement Agent
Engagement Letter, Seller is not a party to any contract, agreement or understanding (other than this Agreement) with any Person that would give rise to a valid claim against any of them or the Purchasers for a brokerage commission, finders’

ARTICLE IV 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS 

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Seller and the Partnership that: 

Section 4.1 Existence. Such Purchaser is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its
jurisdiction of organization, with all requisite power and authority to own, lease, use and operate its properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to have such power or authority would not prevent the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 Section 4.2 Authorization, Enforceability. Such Purchaser
has all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and the execution, delivery and
performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Purchaser. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer and similar laws. 
 Section 4.3
No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Purchaser and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (a) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of
the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Purchaser is subject, (b) conflict with
or result in any violation of the provisions of the Organizational Documents of such Purchaser, or (c) violate any statute, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over such Purchaser or the

 13 













 Section 4.4 Certain Fees. No fees or commissions are or will be payable by such
Purchaser to brokers, finders, or investment bankers with respect to the purchase of any of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

Section 4.5 No Side Agreements. Other than the Operative Documents, there are no other agreements by, among or between such
Purchaser and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, nor promises or inducements for future transactions between or among any of such
parties. 
 Section 4.6 Investment. The Purchased Units are being acquired, solely for investment with no intent to distribute,
for such Purchaser’s own account, the account of its Affiliates, or the accounts of clients for whom such Purchaser exercises discretionary investment authority (all of whom such Purchaser hereby represents and warrants are “accredited
investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act), not as a nominee or agent, and with no present intention of distributing the Purchased Units or any part thereof, and
such Purchaser has no present intention of selling or granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same in any transaction in violation of the securities laws of the United States or any state, without prejudice, however, to
such Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Purchased Units under a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from such registration
available thereunder (including, without limitation, if available, Rule 144 promulgated thereunder). If such Purchaser should in the future decide to dispose of any of the Purchased Units, the Purchaser understands and agrees (a) that it may do
so only in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities law, as then in effect, including a sale contemplated by any registration statement pursuant to which such securities are being offered, or pursuant to an exemption from
the Securities Act, and (b) that stop-transfer instructions to that effect will be in effect with respect to such securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Purchaser may at any time enter into one or more over-the-counter transactions, including total return swaps, with respect to such Purchaser’s Purchased Units with a third party, provided that such transactions referencing the Common Units are exempt
from registration under the Securities Act. 
 Section 4.7 Nature of Purchaser. Such Purchaser represents and warrants to, and
covenants and agrees with, Seller that, (a) it is (i) an institutional “accredited investor” (as described in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) and (ii) a qualified institutional buyer (as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (b) by reason of its business and financial experience it has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in making similar investments and in business and financial matters generally so as to
be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Purchased Units and (c) is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, would be able to afford a complete loss of such
investment. Such Purchaser did not learn of the investment in the Common Units as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising. 

  
 14 













 Section 4.8 Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased
Units are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Seller in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such
securities may not be resold absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is knowledgeable with respect to Rule 144 of the Commission promulgated under the Securities
Act. 
 Section 4.9 Legend. Such Purchaser understands that the book entry evidencing the Purchased Units will bear the legend
required by the Partnership Agreement as well as a legend substantively consistent with the following legend: “These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act. These securities may not be sold or offered for sale except
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder, in each case in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions, and in the case
of a transaction exempt from registration, such securities may only be transferred if the transfer agent for such securities has received documentation satisfactory to it that such transaction does not require registration under the Securities
Act.” 
 Section 4.10 Partnership Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Partnership has provided or
made available (through EDGAR, the Partnership’s website or otherwise) all SEC Reports, as well as all press releases or investor presentations issued by the Partnership through the date of this Agreement that are included in a filing by the
Partnership on Form 8-K or clearly posted on the Partnership’s website. 
 Section 4.11
Placement Agent Representations. 
 (a) Such Purchaser agrees that each of the Placement Agents may rely upon the
representations and warranties made by such Purchaser to Seller in this Agreement. In addition, such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) each of the Placement Agents is acting solely as a placement agent in connection with the private
placement by Seller of the Common Units contemplated hereunder and is not acting as an underwriter or in any other capacity and is not and shall not be construed as a financial advisor or fiduciary for any Purchaser, the Seller or any other person
or entity in connection with the transactions set forth hereunder, (ii) none of the Placement Agents has made and will not make any representations, declarations or warranties, whether express or implied, of any kind or character and has not
provided any advice or recommendation to such Purchaser regarding the Seller, the Partnership or the Common Units; (iii) such Purchaser, in making its investment decision with respect to whether to invest in the Common Units offered by the
Seller hereunder has relied on its own analysis and decision, and has not relied on any of the Placement Agents or their respective representatives for any purpose; and (iv) none of the Placement Agents has offered to sell, or solicited an
offer to buy, any of the Common Units, which such Purchaser proposes to acquire from the Seller. 
 (b) Such Purchaser further acknowledges
and agrees that (A) except for the representations and warranties of the Seller and the Partnership expressly set forth in Article III and Article V, respectively, of this Agreement (it being understood that neither the Seller,
the Partnership nor any other Person acting on their behalf makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Purchased Units), such Purchaser is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment
analysis and due diligence (including 

  
 15 













 
professional advice such Purchaser deems appropriate) with respect to the Purchased Units, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the business, condition (financial and otherwise),
management, operations, properties and prospects of the Partnership, including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters, (B) no Placement Agent shall have responsibility with respect to (i) any
representations, warranties or agreements made by any person or entity under or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder or any of the documents furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or the execution, legality,
validity or enforceability (with respect to any person) or any thereof, or (ii) the business, affairs, financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of, or any other matter concerning the transactions contemplated hereunder, and
(C) no Placement Agent shall have any liability or obligation (including without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred
by such Purchaser, the Seller or any other person or entity), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to such Purchaser, or to any person claiming through such Purchaser, in respect of the transactions contemplated hereunder. 

(c) Such Purchaser has (i) had access to and an adequate opportunity to review such financial and other information as such Purchaser
deems necessary to make a decision to purchase the Common Units, (ii) been offered the opportunity to ask questions of the Partnership and received answers thereto, including on the Partnership’s financial information, as such Purchaser
deemed necessary in connection with its decision to purchase the Common Units; and (iii) made its own assessment and satisfied itself concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations relevant to its purchase of Common Units. 

(d) Such Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that (i) Seller, the Partnership and the Placement Agents may currently have, and later
may come into possession of, information regarding the Partnership that is not known to such Purchaser and that may be material to a decision to purchase the Common Units (“Excluded Information”), (ii) such Purchaser has determined
to purchase the Common Units notwithstanding its potential lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information, and (iii) except with respect to the Seller in connection with any breach by the Seller of Article III or with
respect to the Partnership in connection with any breach by the Partnership of Article V, none of Seller, the Partnership or the Placement Agents shall have liability to such Purchaser, and such Purchaser hereby, to the
extent permitted by law, waives and releases any claims such Purchaser may have against Seller, the Partnership and the Placement Agents, in each case with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. 

(e) Such Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that (i) certain information provided to such Purchaser was based on good-faith
projections, and such good-faith projections were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in such good-faith projections, and (ii) such information and good-faith projections were prepared without the participation of the Placement Agents, and the Placement Agents are not
responsible for verification of, or the accuracy or completeness of, such information or good-faith projections. 

  
 16 













 (f) Such Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents and their
respective Representatives and controlling persons have made no independent investigation with respect to the Partnership or the Common Units or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to such Purchaser by the Seller or
the Partnership. No disclosure or offering document has been prepared by the Placement Agents in connection with the offer and sale of Common Units contemplated by this Agreement. 

(g) Such Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of Common Units contemplated by this Agreement qualifies for exemption from filing under
FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(C) or (J). 
 (h) Such Purchaser (i) is an “institutional account” as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c),
(ii) is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private equity transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or
securities, and (iii) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the Common Units. Such Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of Common Units contemplated by this Agreement qualifies for
exemption from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(A) and the institutional customer exemption under FINRA Rule 2111(b). 
 Section 4.12
Short Selling. Such Purchaser represents that it has not entered into any Short Sales of the Common Units owned by it since the time it first began discussions with the Seller or the Placement Agents about the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement; provided, however, subject to such Purchaser’s compliance with its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws and its internal policies, the above shall not apply, in the case of a Purchaser that is a large
multi-unit investment or commercial banking organization, to activities in the normal course of trading units of such Purchaser; provided, further, that subject to such Purchaser’s compliance with its obligations under the U.S. federal
securities laws and its internal policies: (a) such Purchaser, for purposes hereof, shall not be deemed to include any employees, subsidiaries or Affiliates that are effectively walled off by appropriate “Chinese Wall” information
barriers approved by such Purchaser’s legal or compliance department (and thus have not been privy to any information concerning this transaction) (a “Walled Off Person”) and (b) the foregoing representations in this
paragraph shall not apply to any transaction by or on behalf of such Purchaser that was effected by a Walled Off Person in the ordinary course of trading without the advice or participation of such Purchaser or receipt of confidential or other
information regarding this transaction provided by such Purchaser to such entity.

INDEMNIFICATION 

Section 7.1 Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing, the Seller agrees to indemnify each Purchaser and its
Representatives (collectively, “Purchaser Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of
action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising
out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of Seller contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations or warranties is made
prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representations or warranties; and provided further, that no Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost profits) or punitive damages.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, consequential damages shall not be deemed to include diminution in value of the Purchased Units, which is specifically included in damages covered by Purchaser Related Parties’ indemnification above.

 Section 7.2 Indemnification by the Partnership. From and after the Closing, the Partnership agrees to indemnify each
Purchaser Related Party from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon
demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the
representations, warranties or covenants of the Partnership contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations or warranties is made prior to the expiration of the survival period for
such representations or warranties; and provided further, that no Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost profits) or punitive damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
consequential damages shall not be deemed to include diminution in value of the Purchased Units, which is specifically included in damages covered by Purchaser Related Parties’ indemnification above. 

  
 23 













 Section 7.3 Indemnification by Purchasers. From and after the Closing, each
Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify Seller and its Representatives (collectively, “Seller Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any
investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever,
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted
against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of such Purchaser contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a
breach of the representations and warranties is made prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representations and warranties; and provided further, that Seller shall not be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost
profits) or punitive damages. 
 Section 7.4 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Article VII of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this
Article VII, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have under this Article VII except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Article VII. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified
party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the
indemnified party under this Article VII for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided,
however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the indemnified party and those other indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be
subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article VII if (a) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have so mutually agreed; (b) the
indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (c) the indemnified party and its directors, officers, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (d) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
indemnified parties or their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the indemnifying party, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due
to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the
indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably 

  
 24 













 
withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all
liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of
any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an
indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel to the extent required by this Section 7.1, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent if (x) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (y) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party
in accordance with such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party’s entitlement to such reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement. 

ARTICLE VIII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 8.1 Interpretation. Article, Section, Schedule, and Exhibit references are to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified.
All references to instruments, documents, contracts, and agreements are references to such instruments, documents, contracts, and agreements as the same may be amended, supplemented, and otherwise modified from time to time, unless otherwise
specified. The word “including” shall mean “including but not limited to.” Whenever any party has an obligation under this Agreement, the expense of complying with that obligation shall be an expense of such party unless
otherwise specified. Whenever any determination, consent, or approval is to be made or given by any Purchaser, such action shall be in such Purchaser’s sole discretion unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. If any provision in this
Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, not binding, or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, not binding, or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement has been reviewed and negotiated by sophisticated parties with access to legal counsel and shall not be construed against the
drafter. 
 Section 8.2 Survival of Provisions. The representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2,
3.3, 3.6, 3.9, 3.11, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.5 shall survive indefinitely, Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9,
4.11, 5.9 and 5.12 shall survive until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and the other representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Seller, the Partnership or any Purchaser. The covenants made in this Agreement shall survive the Closing of the transactions described herein and remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of acceptance of any of the Purchased Units and payment therefor and repayment, conversion, exercise or repurchase thereof. All indemnification obligations of the Seller, the Partnership and the Purchasers pursuant to this
Agreement and the provisions of Article VII shall remain operative and in full force and effect unless such obligations are expressly terminated in a writing by the parties, regardless of any purported general termination
of this Agreement. 

  
 25 













 Section 8.3 No Waiver; Modifications in Writing. 

(a) Delay. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a party at law or in equity or otherwise. 
 (b) Specific Waiver. Except as
otherwise provided herein, no amendment, waiver, consent, modification, or termination of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by each of the parties hereto. Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any
provision of this Agreement, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by the Seller from the terms of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on a party in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

Section 8.4 Binding Effect; Assignment. 

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Partnership, the Seller, the Purchasers, and their respective successors
and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. 
 (b) Assignment of Rights. All or any portion of the rights and obligations of any Purchaser under this Agreement may be
transferred by such Purchaser to any Affiliate of such Purchaser without the consent of the Seller. No portion of the rights and obligations of any Purchaser under this Agreement may be transferred by such Purchaser to a non-Affiliate without the written consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Seller); provided that, no assignment shall relieve the transferring Purchaser of its obligations
hereunder. 
 Section 8.5 Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that any Purchaser has
executed or is otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement in favor of the Seller, such Purchaser shall continue to be bound by such confidentiality agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. 

Section 8.6 Communications. All notices and demands provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, electronic mail, air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery or personal delivery to the following addresses:

 Attention: Gillian A. Hobson 

Facsimile: (713) 758-2222

 or to such other address as the
Seller or such Purchaser may designate in writing. All notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; at the time of transmittal, if sent via electronic mail; upon actual
receipt if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or regular mail, if mailed; when receipt acknowledged, if sent via facsimile; and upon actual receipt when delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery. 

Section 8.7 Removal of Legend. The Partnership, at its sole cost, shall remove the legend described in
Section 4.9 (or instruct its transfer agent to so remove such legend) from the certificates evidencing Purchased Units issued and sold to each Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement if (a) such Purchased Units are sold
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (b) such Purchased Units are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Partnership), or (c) such Purchased Units are
eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Partnership to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such securities and without volume or manner
of sale restrictions. In connection with a sale of the Purchased Units by a Purchaser in reliance on Rule 144, the applicable Purchaser shall deliver to the transfer agent and the Partnership a customary representation letter providing to the
transfer agent and the Partnership any information the Partnership deems reasonably necessary to determine that the sale of the Purchased Units is made in compliance with Rule 144, including, as may be appropriate, a certification that the Purchaser
is not an Affiliate of the Partnership and regarding the length of time the Purchased Units have been held. Upon receipt of such representation letter, the Partnership shall promptly direct its transfer agent to remove the legend referred to in
Section 4.9 from the appropriate book-entry accounts maintained by the transfer agent, and the Partnership shall bear all costs associated therewith. After any Purchaser or its permitted assigns have held the Purchased
Units for such time as non-Affiliates are permitted to sell without volume limitations under Rule 144, if the certificate for such Purchased Units still 

  
 27 













 
bears the restrictive legend referred to in Section 4.9, the Partnership agrees, upon request of the Purchaser or permitted assignee, to take all steps necessary to
promptly effect the removal of the legend described in Section 4.9 from the Purchased Units, and the Partnership shall bear all costs associated therewith, regardless of whether the request is made in connection with a sale
or otherwise, so long as such Purchaser or its permitted assigns provide to the Partnership any information the Partnership deems reasonably necessary to determine that the legend is no longer required under the Securities Act or applicable state
laws, including a certification that the holder is not an Affiliate of the Partnership (and a covenant to inform the Partnership if it should thereafter become an Affiliate and to consent to exchange its certificates for certificates bearing an
appropriate restrictive legend) and regarding the length of time the Purchased Units have been held. 
 Section 8.8 Most Favored
Nation. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date, if any of the Partnership or its Subsidiaries shall enter into any additional, or modify any existing, agreements with any existing or future investors in
any of the Partnership or its Subsidiaries that have the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting such investor in a manner more favorable in any material respect to such investor than the rights and benefits established in favor of the
Purchasers by this Agreement, in any such case, the Purchasers shall be provided with such rights and benefits. 
 Section 8.9
Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject
matter contained herein and therein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein with respect to the rights granted by the Seller or any of its Affiliates or any
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates set forth herein or therein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter. 

Section 8.10 Expenses. Each Purchaser agrees that it shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by it in the
preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and in carrying out the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of whether such transactions are ultimately consummated. 

Section 8.11 Acknowledgement. The parties acknowledge and agree that, although the Placement Agents may provide certain Regulation
Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Placement Agents make no recommendation with regard to such transactions, and nothing set forth in such
disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that any Placement Agent is making such a recommendation 
 Section 8.12
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of laws principles (other than Section 5-1401 of the
General Obligations Law). 

  
 28 













 Section 8.13 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one
and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. 

Section 8.14 Termination. 

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

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated at any time at or prior to the Closing by the Seller,
upon (i) a breach in any material respect by any Purchaser of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or (ii) termination of the GP Transaction Agreement. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall automatically terminate at any time at or prior to the Closing if a
statute, rule, order, decree or regulation shall have been enacted or promulgated, or if any action shall have been taken by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction that permanently restrains, permanently precludes, permanently enjoins
or otherwise permanently prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or makes the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal. 

(d) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in this Section 8.13, subject to the ultimate
sentence of Section 8.2, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void. In the event of such termination, subject to the ultimate sentence of Section 8.2, there shall be no liability on the
part of any party hereto; provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability or obligation with respect to any willful breach of covenants set forth in this Agreement.
