 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Targa Resources
Partners LP, a limited partnership organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Partnership”), along with Targa Resources Partners Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finance Co” and, together with the
Partnership, the “Issuers”), hereby confirm their agreement with the several Initial Purchasers listed in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Initial Purchasers”) for whom Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated is acting as representative (the “Representative”) as set forth below. 
 Targa Resources GP LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the “General Partner”), owns a 2% general partnership interest in the Partnership. The Partnership’s direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries are listed in Schedule 2 hereto and are
referred to herein as the “Subsidiaries”; and the Subsidiaries listed in Schedule 3 hereto are referred to herein as the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.” 

Section 1. The Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the Issuers propose to issue and sell to the
Initial Purchasers $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their 6.750% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”), which will be unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis as to principal, premium, if any, and interest (the







 
“Guarantees”) by the Subsidiaries of the Partnership named in Schedule 4 hereto (each individually, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the
“Guarantors” and, together with the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries (other than the entities named in Schedule 5 hereto), the “Material Subsidiaries”). The Notes are to be issued under an indenture (the
“Indenture”) to be dated as of September 14, 2015, by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”). 

The Notes will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”), in reliance on exemptions therefrom. 
 In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Issuers have prepared a
preliminary offering memorandum dated September 9, 2015 (including any documents incorporated therein by reference, the “Preliminary Memorandum”) setting forth or including a description of the terms of the Notes, the terms of
the offering of the Notes, a description of the Partnership and any material developments relating to the Partnership after the date of the most recent historical financial statements included therein. As used herein, “Pricing Disclosure
Package” shall mean the Preliminary Memorandum, as supplemented or amended by the written communications listed on Annex A hereto in the most recent form that has been prepared and delivered by the Issuers to the Initial Purchasers
in connection with their solicitation of offers to purchase Notes prior to the time when sales of the Notes were first made (the “Time of Execution”). Promptly after the Time of Execution and in any event no later than the second
Business Day following the Time of Execution, the Issuers will prepare and deliver to each Initial Purchaser a final offering memorandum (including any documents incorporated therein by reference, the “Final Memorandum”), which will
consist of the Preliminary Memorandum with such changes therein as are required to reflect the information contained in the amendments or supplements listed on Annex A hereto. The Issuers hereby confirm that each of the Issuers has authorized
the use of the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Memorandum and the Recorded Road Show (defined below) in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers. 

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which are “contained,”
“included” or “stated” in the Offering Memorandum (as defined below) (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which are
incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the “Exchange Act”) which is incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum. 
 The Initial Purchasers and
their direct and indirect transferees of the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuers and the Guarantors will agree, among other
things, to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) registering the Notes or the Exchange Notes (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) under the Act, unless (i) the Notes are freely transferable without volume restrictions by holders that are not affiliates of the Issuers in accordance with Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in effect), (ii) the
Notes do not bear a restrictive legend and (iii) the Notes do not bear a restricted CUSIP number as of the 370th day after the Closing Date.

 Section 2. Representations and Warranties. As of the Time of Execution and at the
Closing Date, the Issuers and the Guarantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to and agree with each of the Initial Purchasers as follows (references in this Section 2 to the “Offering Memorandum” are to (i) the
Pricing Disclosure Package in the case of representations and warranties made as of the Time of Execution and (ii) both the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum in the case of representations and warranties made at the Closing
Date): 
 (a) The Preliminary Memorandum, on the date thereof, did not contain 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, not misleading. At the Time of Execution, the Pricing Disclosure Package did not, and on the Closing Date, will
not, and the Final Memorandum as of its date and on the Closing Date will not contain 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, not misleading; provided, however, that the Issuers and the Guarantors make no representation or warranty as to the information contained in or omitted from the Pricing Disclosure Package and Final Memorandum, in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Partnership by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers through the Representative specifically for inclusion therein. The Issuers and the Guarantors have not distributed or
referred to and will not distribute or refer to any written communications (as defined in Rule 405 of the Act) that constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes (each such communication by the Issuers and the Guarantors
or each of their agents and representatives (other than the Pricing Disclosure Package and Final Memorandum) an “Issuer Written Communication”) other than the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Memorandum and the recorded
electronic road show made available to investors (the “Recorded Road Show”). Any information in an Issuer Written Communication that is not otherwise included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum does not
conflict with the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum and, each Issuer Written Communication, when taken together with the Pricing Disclosure Package does not at the Time of Execution and when taken together with the Final Memorandum
at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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.

to execute, deliver and perform their obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement; the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by the Issuers and the Guarantors and, when duly executed and delivered by the Issuers
and the Guarantors (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Initial Purchasers), will constitute the valid and legally binding agreement of the Issuers and the Guarantors, enforceable against the Issuers and the Guarantors
in accordance with its terms, except that (A) the enforcement thereof may be subject to the Enforceability Exceptions and (B) any rights to indemnity or contribution thereunder may be limited by federal and state securities laws and public
policy considerations. 
 (viii) The Issuers and the Guarantors have all requisite corporate, partnership or limited
liability company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; this Agreement and the consummation by the Issuers and the Guarantors of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Issuers and the Guarantors. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Issuers and the Guarantors. 

(ix) (a) The descriptions of the Indenture, the Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement contained in the Pricing Disclosure
Package and the Final Memorandum are accurate in all material respects, and (b) the statements under the caption “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum
insofar as they purport to constitute a summary of United States federal tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects, subject to the
assumptions and qualifications set forth therein. 
 (x) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the
Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers) will not constitute or


  
 23 







 
result in a breach or a default under (or an event that with notice or passage of time or both would constitute a default under) any of (i) the terms or provisions of any Contract listed on
Annex B hereto, (ii) the Organizational Documents of any of the Issuers or the Guarantors, or (iii) any statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation (excluding any securities laws, rules or regulations) known to such counsel
to be applicable to the Issuers or any of the Guarantors or any of their respective properties or assets, except, with respect to clauses (i) and (iii) only, for any such conflict, breach or violation that could not reasonably be expected
to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (xi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of
any governmental authority is required for the issuance and sale by the Issuers of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers or the consummation by the Issuers of the other transactions contemplated hereby, except such as may be required under securities
laws, as to which such counsel need express no opinion in this paragraph, and those which have previously been obtained. 

(xii) None of the Issuers or the Guarantors is, or immediately after the sale of the Notes to be sold hereunder and the
application of the proceeds from such sale (as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum under the caption “Use of Proceeds”) will be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 (xiii) No registration under the Act of the Notes is required in connection with the sale
of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers or in connection with the initial resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers, in each case, as contemplated by this Agreement and the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum, and prior to the
commencement of the Exchange Offer (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Indenture is not required to be qualified under the
TIA.
 At the time the foregoing opinion is delivered, Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. shall additionally state that it has participated in
conferences with officers and other representatives of the Issuers, representatives of the independent registered public accountants for the Issuers, representatives of the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers, at which
conferences the contents of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum and related matters were discussed, and, although it has not independently verified, and is not passing on and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy,
completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (except to the extent specified in subsection 7(a)(x)), no facts have come to its attention which lead it to believe that the
Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Time of Execution or at the Closing Date, or that the Final Memorandum, as of its date or at the Closing Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that such firm need make no comment with respect to the financial statements and related notes thereto and the other
financial and accounting data derived from the Issuers’ books and records included in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum).

Section 8. Offering of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer. 

(a) Each of the Initial Purchasers agrees with the Issuers (as to itself only) that (i) it has not and will not solicit offers for, or
offer or sell, the Notes by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Act) or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Act; and
(ii) it has and will solicit offers for the Notes only from, and will offer the Notes only to (A) in the case of offers inside the United States, persons whom the Initial Purchasers reasonably believe to be QIBs, in transactions under
Rule 144A and (B) in the case of offers outside the United States, to persons other than U.S. persons (“non-U.S. purchasers,” which term shall include dealers or other professional fiduciaries in the United States acting
on a discretionary basis for non-U.S. beneficial owners (other than an estate or trust)); provided, however, that, in the case of this clause (B), in purchasing such Notes such persons are deemed to have represented and agreed as
provided under the caption “Transfer Restrictions” contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum. 
 (b)
Each of the Initial Purchasers represents and warrants (as to itself only) that (1) it is a QIB and (2) with respect to offers and sales outside the United States that (i) the Notes have not been and will not be offered or sold within
the United States or to, or for the 

  
 27 







 
account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in accordance with Regulation S under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act; and (ii) it has offered
the Notes and will offer and sell the Notes (A) as part of its distribution at any time and (B) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date, only in accordance with Rule 903 of
Regulation S and, accordingly, neither it nor any persons acting on its behalf have engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Notes, and any such persons have complied and will
comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. 
 (c) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and
warrants and agrees with the Issuers that: 
 (i) in relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has
implemented the Prospectus Directive (as defined below) (each, a “Relevant Member State”), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant
Implementation Date”), it has not made and will not make an offer of Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State, except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of Notes to the
public in that Relevant Member State at any time: (A) to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive; (B) to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision
of the 2010 PD Amending Directive (as defined below), 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the
Representative for any such offer; or (C) in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive; 
 For the
purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer of Notes to the public” in relation to any Notes in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the
offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Notes, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State, the expression
“Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in the
Relevant Member State and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU. 
 (ii) it
has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act of
2000 (the “FSMA”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Issuers; and 

  
 28 







 (iii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA
with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom. 
 Terms used in this
Section 8 and not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in Regulation S. 
 Section 9. Indemnification and
Contribution. 
 (a) The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchasers,
their directors, officers, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any
Initial Purchaser, any such director, officer, affiliate or controlling person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon the following: 
 (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Communication or Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto; or 

(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state, in the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Communication or the
Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 
 and will reimburse, as
incurred, the Initial Purchasers, any such director, officer, affiliate and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers, their directors, officers, affiliates or controlling persons in connection
with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, neither the Issuers nor the Guarantors will be liable in any such case
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Pricing Disclosure Package or Final Memorandum or any
amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Partnership by the Initial Purchasers through the Representative specifically for use therein. The
indemnity provided for in this Section 9 will be in addition to any liability that the Partnership may otherwise have to the indemnified parties. Neither the Issuers nor the Guarantors will be liable under this Section 9 for any settlement
of any claim or action effected without its prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (b) Each Initial Purchaser,
severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Issuers and Guarantors, and their respective directors, officers and each person, if any, who controls the Issuers or Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Issuers or Guarantors or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or 

  
 29 







 
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Pricing Disclosure
Package or Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning the Initial Purchasers, furnished to the Issuers and Guarantors by the
Initial Purchasers through the Representative specifically for use therein; and subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuers or
Guarantors or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. The
indemnity provided for in this Section 9 will be in addition to any liability that the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have to the indemnified parties. The Initial Purchasers shall not be liable under this Section 9 for any settlement of
any claim or action effected without their consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action for which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in writing; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from any liability under
paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent 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 paragraphs (a) and (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that 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
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties
that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (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 receipt by the indemnifying party of notice of the institution of such action, then, in each such case, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or
parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so
to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses, other
than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel


  
 30 







 
in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses
of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated by the Initial
Purchasers in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 9 or the Issuers and Guarantors in the case of paragraph (b) of this Section 9, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), as
the case may be, who are parties to such action or actions) or (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. All fees and expenses reimbursed
pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. After such notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such
action effected by such indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such indemnifying party waived in writing its rights under this Section 9, in which
case the indemnified party may effect such a settlement without such consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in
respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party, or indemnity could have been sought hereunder by any indemnified party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional written release of the indemnified party, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or
on behalf of any indemnified party. 
 (d) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of
this Section 9 is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and
equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the
relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of the Notes or if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law,
not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted
in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof). The relative benefits received by the Issuers and Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the
total proceeds from the offering (after deducting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers and Guarantors bear to the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser. The relative fault of
the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers and
Guarantors on the one hand, or such Initial Purchaser on the other, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or omission, and any other
equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree 

  
 31 







 
that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the
equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), no Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate
exceed the total discounts, commissions and other compensation received by such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement, less the aggregate amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue
or alleged untrue statements or the omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact, and 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. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers are several and not joint. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each director, officer and affiliate of the Initial Purchasers and each person, if
any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchasers, and each director of either of the Issuers or any
of the Guarantors, each officer of either of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors and each person, if any, who controls either of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Partnership. 
 Section 10. Survival Clause. The respective
representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements of each of the Issuers, Guarantors, their respective officers and the Initial Purchasers set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them pursuant to
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the Issuers, Guarantors, any of their respective officers or directors, the Initial Purchasers, any of their officers,
directors, affiliates or controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Notes. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in Sections 6, 9, 10 and 15
hereof shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 
 Section 11.
Termination. 
 (a) This Agreement may be terminated in the sole discretion of the Initial Purchasers by notice to the Issuers given
prior to the Closing Date in the event that the Issuers shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or, if, after the date
hereof and at or prior to the Closing Date, 
 (i) trading in securities of the Partnership shall have been suspended by the
Commission or the New York Stock Exchange; 
 (ii) there shall have been, in the sole judgment of the Representative, any
event or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has or could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (including without limitation a change in control of the Issuers or the Guarantors), except in each case as described in
the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto); 

  
 32 







 (iii) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have
been suspended or materially limited or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or market; 

(iv) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by New York or United States authorities or a material disruption in
commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred; 
 (v) there
shall have been (A) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power or (B) an outbreak or escalation of any other insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States or any other national or
international calamity or emergency, which in the case of (A) and (B) above and in the sole judgment of the Representative, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Notes as contemplated by
the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum; or 
 (vi) any securities of the Partnership shall have been
downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization or any such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, or has changed its outlook with respect to, its ratings of any securities of the
Partnership (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading). 
 (b) Termination of this Agreement pursuant
to this Section 11 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 10 hereof. 

Section 12. Information Supplied by the Initial Purchasers. The statements set forth in the last paragraph on the front cover page
(as such paragraph is supplemented by the item on Annex A) and in the fourth paragraph and the tenth through twelfth paragraphs under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum (to the
extent such statements relate to the Initial Purchaser) constitute the only information furnished by the Initial Purchasers to the Issuers for the purposes of Sections 2(a) and 9 hereof.

days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; and one business day after being timely delivered to a next-day air courier. 

  
 33 







 Section 14. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the Initial Purchasers, the Issuers and their respective successors and legal representatives, and nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained; this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such persons and for the benefit of no
other person except that (i) the indemnities of the Issuers contained in Section 9 of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the directors, officers and employees of the Initial Purchasers and any person or persons who control the
Initial Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and (ii) the indemnities of the Initial Purchasers contained in Section 9 of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the
