 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Holly Energy Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Holly Energy Partners” or the “Partnership”) and Holly Energy Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation
(“Finance Corp.” and, together with Holly Energy Partners, the “Issuers”), and each of the other Guarantors (defined herein) agree with you as follows: 

1. Issuance of Notes. The Issuers propose to issue and sell to Citigroup Global Markets Inc., UBS Securities LLC and Wells Fargo
Securities, LLC (collectively, the “Representatives”) and the other initial purchasers listed on Schedule I hereto (together with the Representatives, the “Initial Purchasers”) $300,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of 6.50% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Original Notes”). The Issuers’ obligations under the Original Notes and the Indenture (as defined below) will be, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed (the
“Guarantees” and, together with the Original Notes, the “Securities”), on a senior basis, by each of the Subsidiaries (as defined below) listed on the signature pages hereto (each individually, a
“Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined herein) by and among the
Issuers, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). 
 The Securities will
be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Issuers have prepared a preliminary offering memorandum, dated
as of February 28, 2012 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), and a pricing supplement thereto dated the date hereof (the “Pricing Supplement”). The Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Pricing Supplement
are herein referred to as the “Pricing Disclosure Package.” Promptly after the execution of this Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), the Issuers will prepare a final offering memorandum dated the date hereof (the
“Final Offering Memorandum”). Unless stated to the contrary, any references herein to the terms “Pricing Disclosure Package” and “Final Offering Memorandum” shall be deemed to refer to and include any information
filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), prior to the date hereof and incorporated by reference therein, and any references herein to the terms “amend”,








 
“amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Final Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to refer to and include any information filed under the Exchange Act subsequent to
the date hereof that is incorporated by reference therein. All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” (or other references
of like import) in the Pricing Disclosure Package (including the Preliminary Offering Memorandum) or Final Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which are
incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package or Final Offering Memorandum, as the case may be. 
 The Initial
Purchasers have advised the Issuers that the Initial Purchasers intend, as soon as they deem practicable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered, to resell (the “Exempt Resales”) the Securities in private sales exempt
from registration under the Act on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package, solely to (i) persons whom the Initial Purchasers reasonably believe to be “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBs”), as
defined in Rule 144A under the Act (“Rule 144A”), in accordance with Rule 144A and (ii) other eligible purchasers pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the
Act (“Regulation S”) in accordance with Regulation S (the persons specified in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Eligible Purchasers”). 
 Holders (including subsequent transferees) of the Securities will have the registration rights under the registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the
Issuers and the Initial Purchasers, to be dated the Closing Date. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuers will agree to use reasonable best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
a registration statement under the Act (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) relating to a new issue of debt securities (collectively with the Private Exchange Notes (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the
“Exchange Notes” and, together with the Original Notes, the “Notes”), guaranteed by the guarantors under the Indenture, to be offered in exchange for the Original Notes and the Guarantees thereof (the
“Exchange Offer”) and issued under the Indenture or an indenture substantially identical to the Indenture (except for the provisions relating to the transfer restrictions and payment of Special Interest (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement)) no later than 400 days after the date of the initial issuance of the Original Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Registration Rights Agreement will provide that the Issuers and Guarantors will not be required
to consummate the Exchange Offer with respect to any Original Notes that are freely tradable under Rule 144 under the Securities Act before the required date for the consummation of such Exchange Offer if (i) on or before such date, the Issuers
have afforded the opportunity to the holders of such Original Notes to have the restrictive legend on such Original Notes removed and (ii) the unrestricted Original Notes would no longer bear a restricted CUSIP number. If the Issuers fail to
satisfy either their registration obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement or if the Issuers fail to accomplish the items described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Issuers will be required to pay Special Interest (as defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement) to the holders of the Original Notes under certain circumstances. 
 This Agreement, the
Notes, the Guarantees, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the “Note Documents.” The issuance and sale of the Securities is referred to as the
“Offering.”

thereof in the Offering Memorandum. The Exchange Notes have been, or on or before the Closing Date will be, duly and validly authorized for issuance by the Issuers, and when issued, authenticated and delivered by the Issuers in accordance with the

Exchange Notes have been duly and validly authorized by each of the Guarantors and, when the Exchange Notes are issued, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in accordance with the terms of
the Registration Rights Agreement, the Exchange Offer and the Indenture, will be legally binding and valid obligations of the Guarantors, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their terms, except that enforceability thereof may be
limited by the Bankruptcy Exceptions 
 (xx) The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized by each Issuer and each Guarantor and, when duly executed and delivered by the Issuers and the Guarantors (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Initial Purchasers), will constitute a valid and legally
binding obligation of each such Issuer, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except that (A) the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Bankruptcy Exceptions and (B) any rights to indemnity or contribution thereunder may
be limited by federal and state securities laws and public policy considerations. The Registration Rights Agreement, when executed and delivered, will conform in all material respects to the description thereof in the Offering Memorandum.

to it or of any decree of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over it or (C) breach, default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such default) or violation in performance of any
obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or in any agreement, indenture, lease or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be
bound, which breach, default or violation, in the case of clauses (B) or (C), would, if continued, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Issuers, no third party to any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement or other agreement to which either Issuer or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any of their properties is subject, is in default under any such agreement, which breach, default or violation
would, if continued, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (xxii) The execution, delivery
and performance of the Note Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (A) violate the certificate of limited partnership, agreement of limited partnership, certificate of formation, limited
liability company agreement, certificate or articles of incorporation, or bylaws of the Issuers or any Subsidiary, (B) conflict with or constitute a breach of or a default under (or an event that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would
constitute a default), any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which either Issuer or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties may be bound,
(C) violate any statute, law or regulation or any order, judgment, decree or injunction of any court or governmental agency or body having authority over either Issuer or any Subsidiary or any of their properties in a proceeding to which any of
them or their property is a party or (D) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of either Issuer or any Subsidiary, which conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults, in the case of
clauses (B), (C) or (D), would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (xxiii) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, filing or qualification of or with any court, governmental agency or body is required for the offering, issuance and sale by the Issuers
of the Notes, the issuance of the Guarantees by the Guarantors, the execution, delivery 

  
 11 









 
and performance of this Agreement and the other Note Documents by the Issuers and the Guarantors, or the consummation by the Issuers and the Guarantors of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, except (i) for such consents, approvals and similar authorizations required under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and (ii) for such consents
which, if not obtained would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (xxiv) The public accountants whose reports appear or are incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum are independent public accountants with respect to the Issuers within the meaning of Rule 101
of the Code of Professional Conduct of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The historical financial statements (including the notes thereto) included or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum present fairly in all
material respects the consolidated combined financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in partner’s equity of the entities to which they relate at the respective dates and for the respective periods indicated. All such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods presented (except as disclosed therein) and in
compliance with Regulation S-X (“Regulation S-X”) under the Exchange Act. The financial information set forth under the captions “Summary — Summary historical financial and operating data” and “Selected
historical financial and operating data” included in or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum have been prepared on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial statements from which they have been derived. 

(xxv) Since the date as of which information is given in the Offering Memorandum, except as set forth or contemplated in
the Offering Memorandum, (A) neither Issuer nor any Subsidiary has (1) incurred any liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
or (2) entered into any material transaction not in the ordinary course of business and (B) other than regular quarterly distributions in an amount not to exceed $0.885per unit, there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind
declared, paid or made by the Partnership on any of its equity interests. The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum fairly presents the information called for in
all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto. 
 (xxvi) The assumptions used in the preparation of the adjusted financial information included in the Offering Memorandum (including “EBITDA” and “distributable cash flow”) are
reasonable, and the adjustments used therein are appropriate to give effect to the transactions or circumstances referred to therein. 
 (xxvii) No Subsidiary of the Partnership is currently prohibited, directly or indirectly, from paying any dividends to the Partnership, from making any other distribution on such Subsidiary’s capital
stock, from repaying to the Partnership any loans or advances to such Subsidiary from the Partnership or from transferring any of such Subsidiary’s property or assets to the Partnership or any other Subsidiary of the Partnership, except as
described in or contemplated in the Offering Memorandum. 
 (xxviii) Except as set forth in the Offering
Memorandum, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which either Issuer or any Subsidiary is a party or of which any property of either Issuer or any Subsidiary is the subject which, if determined adversely to either Issuer or any
Subsidiary, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and, to the best of the Issuers’ knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened. 

  
 12 









 (xxix) No labor dispute with the employees of the Issuers or any Subsidiary
exists or, to the knowledge of the Issuers, is imminent, that is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (xxx) Except as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, the Partnership and its Subsidiaries (A) are in compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations
relating to the protection of human health and safety and the environment or imposing liability or standards of conduct, including the transport of, concerning any Hazardous Material (as defined below) (“Environmental Laws”),
(B) have received, and maintain in full force and effect, all Permits (as defined below) required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses, (C) are in compliance with the terms and conditions of
any such Permits, (D) to the knowledge of the Partnership, do not have any liability in connection with either noncompliance with Environmental Laws or with the release into the environment of any hazardous Materials and (E) are not
subject to any pending or, to the knowledge of the Partnership, threatened claim or other legal proceeding under any Environmental Laws, except where such noncompliance with the Environmental Laws, failure to receive required Permits, failure to
comply with the terms and conditions of such Permits or liability in connection with such noncompliance, releases, claims or legal proceedings, would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
The term “Hazardous Material” means (A) any “hazardous substance” as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, (B) any “hazardous waste” as
defined in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, (C) any petroleum or petroleum product, (D) any polychlorinated biphenyl and (E) any pollutant or contaminant or hazardous, dangerous or toxic chemical, material,
waste or substance regulated under or within the meaning of any other Environmental Law. 
 (xxxi) In the
ordinary course of its business, the Partnership periodically reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated
costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating
activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Partnership has concluded that such associated costs and liabilities as of the date hereof would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 
 (xxxii) Each of the Issuers and the Subsidiaries have such
permits, consents, licenses, franchises, certificates and authorizations of governmental or regulatory authority (“Permits”) as are necessary to own its properties and to conduct its business in the manner described in the Offering
Memorandum, subject to such qualifications as may be set forth in the Offering Memorandum and except for such Permits which, if not obtained, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; each
of the Issuers and the Subsidiaries have fulfilled and performed all its material obligations with respect to such Permits which are due to have been fulfilled and performed and no event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time
would allow, revocation or termination thereof or results in any impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit, except for such revocations, terminations and impairments that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, subject in each case to such qualifications as may be set forth in the Offering Memorandum; and except as described in the Offering Memorandum, none of the Permits contain any restriction that is
materially burdensome to the Issuers and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

  
 13 









 (xxxiii) The Partnership and the Subsidiaries have such consents, easements,
rights-of-way, permits or licenses from each person (collectively, “rights-of-way”) as are necessary to conduct its business in the manner described, and subject to the limitations contained, in the Offering Memorandum, except for
(A) qualifications, reservations and encumbrances which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect upon the ability of the Issuers and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to conduct their businesses in all material
respects as currently conducted and as contemplated by the Offering Memorandum to be conducted and (B) such rights-of-way that, if not obtained, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect upon the ability of the Issuers and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to conduct their businesses in all material respects as currently conducted and as contemplated by the Offering Memorandum to be conducted; other than as set forth, and
subject to the limitations contained, in the Offering Memorandum, each of the Issuers and the Subsidiaries has fulfilled and performed all its material obligations with respect to such rights-of-way and no event has occurred that allows, or after
notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or would result in any impairment of the rights of the holder of any such rights-of-way, except for such revocations, terminations and impairments that would not have a Material
Adverse Effect upon the ability of the Issuers and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to conduct their businesses in all material respects as currently conducted and as contemplated by the Offering Memorandum to be conducted; and, except as
described in the Offering Memorandum, none of such rights-of-way contains any restriction that is materially burdensome to the Issuers and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

(xxxiv) The Issuers and the Subsidiaries have filed (or have obtained extensions with respect to) all federal, state and
foreign income and franchise tax returns required to be filed through the date hereof, which returns are complete and correct in all material respects, and have timely paid all taxes shown to be due pursuant to such returns, other than those
(A) which, if not paid, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (B) which are being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. 
 (xxxv) Neither the Partnership nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the
Partnership, any member, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an
offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or
any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA; and the Partnership, its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Partnership, its affiliates have conducted their
businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith; 

  
 14 









 (xxxvi) The operations of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries are and have
been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements and the money laundering statutes and the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines,
issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving
the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Partnership, threatened; 
 (xxxvii) Neither the Partnership nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Partnership, any member, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries is
currently subject to any sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Partnership will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend,
contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC;

 (xxxviii) None of the Issuers or the Guarantors is, nor, after giving effect to the Offering and the
application of the proceeds thereof, will be an “investment company” or a company “controlled by” an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

(xxxix) Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Offering
Memorandum, there has been no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

 (xl) Except as described in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in the Offering Memorandum,
there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between either Issuer or any Subsidiary and any other person other than the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to a valid claim against either Issuer, any
Subsidiary or any of the Initial Purchasers for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the issuance, purchase and sale of the Securities. 

(xli) Each Note Document conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Offering
Memorandum. 
 (xlii) The statements in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum
under the headings “Certain Material United States Federal Tax Considerations”, “Plan of Distribution,” “Description of Notes” and “Legal Matters” fairly summarize the matters therein described in all material
respects. 
 (xliii) The Issuers and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (A) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (B) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of their financial
statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (C) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (D) the recorded accountability for their
assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. 

  
 15 









 (xliv) The Partnership has established and maintains disclosure controls and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act); such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Partnership and the Subsidiaries is made known to the
Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Partnership by others within the Partnership or any Subsidiary, and such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably effective to perform the functions for
which they were established subject to the limitations of any such control system; the Partnership’s auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors of GP LLC have been advised of: (A) any significant deficiencies in the design
or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Partnership’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who
have a role in the Partnership’s internal controls; and since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Offering
Memorandum, there has been no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

 (xlv) None of the Issuers, the Guarantors or any of their affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation
D under the Act) has, directly or through any person acting on its or their behalf (other than any Initial Purchaser, as to which no representation is made), (A) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might reasonably be
expected to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of any Issuer to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities, (B) sold, bid for, purchased or paid any person any compensation for soliciting
purchases of the Securities in a manner that would require registration of the Securities under the Act or paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of any Issuer in a manner that
would require registration of the Securities under the Act, (C) sold, offered for sale, contracted to sell, pledged, solicited offers to buy or otherwise disposed of or negotiated in respect of any security (as defined in the Act) that is
currently or will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration of the Securities under the Act or (D) engaged in any directed selling effort (as defined by Regulation S) with respect to the
Securities, and each of them has complied with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. 
 (xlvi)
No form of general solicitation or general advertising (prohibited by the Act in connection with offers or sales such as the Exempt Resales) was used by the Issuers or any person acting on its behalf (other than any Initial Purchaser, as to which no
representation is made) in connection with the offer and sale of any of the Securities or in connection with Exempt Resales, including, but not limited to, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or similar
medium or broadcast over television or radio or the Internet, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Regulation D under the Act. Neither the Issuers
nor any of its affiliates has entered into, or will enter into, any contractual arrangement with respect to the distribution of the Securities except for this Agreement. 

(xlvii) Neither the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities nor the application of the proceeds thereof by the
Issuers as described in the Offering Memorandum will violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board of Governors. 

  
 16 









 (xlviii) There is and has been no failure on the part of the Issuers and any
of the Issuers’ directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with any provision of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes Oxley Act”), including
Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications. 
 (xlix) The Issuers and
the Subsidiaries maintain, or are entitled to the benefits of, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as the Issuers reasonably believe is adequate for the conduct of the business of the Issuers and the Subsidiaries. None of the Issuers
or the Subsidiaries has received notice from any insurer or agent of such insurer that substantial capital improvements or other expenditures will have to be made in order to continue such insurance, and all such insurance is outstanding and duly in
force on the date hereof and will be outstanding and duly in force at the Closing Date. 
 (l) The Partnership is a partnership
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 Each certificate signed by any officer of either Issuer or any Guarantor and delivered
to the Initial Purchasers or counsel for the Initial Purchasers pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Issuers and Guarantors to the Initial Purchasers as to the matters covered
by such certificate. 
 The Issuers acknowledge that the Initial Purchasers and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to
the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, counsel to the Partnership and counsel to the Initial Purchasers will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations and the Issuers hereby consent to such
reliance. 
 (b) Each Initial Purchaser represents that it is a QIB and acknowledges that it is purchasing the Securities
pursuant to a private sale exemption from registration under the Act, and that the Securities have not been registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act. Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and covenants to the Issuers and Guarantors that: 

(i) Neither it, nor any person acting on its behalf, has or will solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities 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 it has and will solicit offers for
the Securities only from, and will offer and sell the Securities only to, (1) persons whom such Initial Purchaser reasonably believes to be QIBs or, if any such person is buying for one or more institutional accounts for which such person is
acting as fiduciary or agent, only when such person has represented to such Initial Purchaser that each such account is a QIB to whom notice has been given that such sale or delivery is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and, in each case, in
reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to Rule 144A, or (2) persons other than U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on, and in compliance with, the exemption from the registration
requirements of the Act provided by Regulation S. 
 (ii) With respect to offers and sales outside the
United States, such Initial Purchaser has offered the Securities and will offer and sell the Securities (1) as part of its distribution at any time and (2) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering of the
Securities and the Closing Date, only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S or 

  
 17 









 
another exemption from the registration requirements of the Act. Accordingly, neither such Initial Purchasers nor any person acting on their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed
selling efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Securities, and any such persons have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirements of Regulation S. Terms used in this
Section 5(b)(ii) have the meanings given to them by Regulation S. 
 Each Initial Purchaser severally agrees that,
at or prior to confirmation of a sale of Securities pursuant to Regulation S it will have sent to each distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases Securities from it or through it during the
restricted period a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect: 
 “The Securities covered
hereby have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as
part of their distribution at any time and (ii) otherwise until forty days after the later of the date upon which the offering of the Securities commenced and the date of closing, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S or Rule
144A under the Securities Act. Terms used above have the meaning given to them by Regulation S.” 
 The Initial Purchasers
understand that the Issuers and Guarantors and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to them pursuant to Section 8 hereof, counsel to the Issuers and Guarantors and counsel to the Initial Purchasers will rely upon the accuracy and truth
of the foregoing representations, and each Initial Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance. 
 6. Indemnification.
(a) The Issuers and Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchasers, each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or
Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, the agents, employees, officers and directors of any Initial Purchaser and the agents, employees, officers and directors of any such controlling person from and against any and all losses, liabilities,
claims, damages and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited, to reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all reasonable expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened,
or any claim whatsoever, and any and all reasonable amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation) (collectively, “Losses”) to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise insofar
as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Communication (including, but not
limited to, any electronic roadshow), the Final Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that none of the Issuers and Guarantors will be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such Loss arises out of or
is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission relating to an Initial Purchaser made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by or on
behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Issuers and Guarantors may otherwise have, including, but not limited to, liability under
this Agreement. 

  
 18 









 (b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Issuers and Guarantors, and each person, if any, who controls any of the Issuers and Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, the agents, employees, officers and directors of any
of the Issuers and Guarantors and of any such controlling person from and against any and all Losses to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that
any such Loss arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission relating to such Initial Purchaser made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to
the Partnership by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein. The Issuers and Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers acknowledge that the information described in Section 9 is the only
information furnished in writing by the Initial Purchasers to the Issuers expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection 6(a) or 6(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding (collectively, an
“action”), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement
of such action (but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure). In case any
such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such action, and to the extent it may elect by written notice
delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense of such action with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified
party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such action, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such
counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such action within a
reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) the named parties to such action (including any impleaded parties) include such indemnified party and the indemnifying parties (or such indemnifying parties have assumed the
defense of such action), and such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them that are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in
which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying
parties. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but
substantially similar or related actions arising in the same jurisdiction out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent,
which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or
could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such proceeding and (y) 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.

 7. Contribution. In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in
which the indemnification provided for in Section 6 of this Agreement is for any reason held to be unavailable from the indemnifying party, or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified under Section 6 of this Agreement, each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such aggregate Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers and Guarantors,
on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to above but also the relative fault of the Issuers and Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuers and Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (x) the total proceeds from the offering of
Securities (net of discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers and Guarantors are to (y) the total discount and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers. The relative fault of the Issuers and
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, 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 an Issuer or the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or
omission. 
 The Issuers and Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7,
(i) in no case shall any Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount and commissions applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement
exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) 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, if any, who controls any Initial
Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchasers, and each person, if any, who controls an Issuer or a Guarantor within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Issuer or a Guarantor shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers and Guarantors. Any party
entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 7, notify such party
or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 7 or
otherwise, but the failure so to notify the contributing party will not relieve it from liability under this Section 7 unless and to the extent it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure; provided, however,
that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 6 for purposes of indemnification. Anything in this section to the contrary notwithstanding, no party shall be liable for
contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent; provided, however, that such written consent was not unreasonably withheld. The contribution obligations of the Initial Purchasers under this
Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations with respect to the Securities and not joint. 

  
 20 









 8. Conditions of Initial Purchasers’ Obligations. The obligations of the Initial
Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Securities, as provided for in this Agreement, shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions prior to or concurrently with such purchase: 

(a) All of the representations and warranties of the Issuers and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall be true
and correct on the date of this Agreement and on the Closing Date. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall have performed or complied with all of the agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and required to be performed or complied with by
them at or prior to the Closing Date. The Initial Purchasers shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Date, signed by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Issuers, certifying as to the foregoing and to the
effect in Section 8(c); 
 (b) The Final Offering Memorandum shall have been printed and copies distributed
to the Initial Purchasers as required by Section 4(b). No stop order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Securities in any jurisdiction shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been
commenced or shall be pending or threatened; 
 (c) Since the execution of this Agreement, there shall not have
been any decrease in the rating of any debt of the Issuers or any Subsidiary 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; 
 (d) The Initial Purchasers shall have received on the Closing Date opinions dated the Closing Date, addressed to the Initial Purchasers, of (i) Fulbright and Jaworski LLP, counsel to the Issuers and
the Guarantors and (ii) Denise C. McWatters, general counsel of the Issuers and the Guarantors, substantially in the form of Annex II(b) and Annex II(c) attached hereto; 

(e) The Initial Purchasers shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion dated the Closing Date of Latham &
Watkins LLP, counsel to the Initial Purchasers, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives. Such counsel shall have been furnished with such certificates and documents as they may reasonably request to enable them to review or pass
upon the matters referred to in this Section 8 and in order to evidence the accuracy, completeness or satisfaction in all material respects of any of the representations, warranties or conditions contained in this Agreement; 

(f) The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee shall have executed and delivered the Indenture and the Initial Purchasers
shall have received copies thereof; 
 (g) The Issuers shall have executed and delivered the Registration Rights
Agreement and the Initial Purchasers shall have received executed counterparts thereof; 
 (h) On the date
hereof, the Initial Purchasers shall have received a “comfort letter” from the independent public accountants for the Partnership, dated the date of this Agreement, addressed to the Initial Purchasers and in form and substance satisfactory
to the Representatives and counsel to the Initial Purchasers, covering the financial and accounting information in the Pricing Disclosure Package. In addition, the Initial Purchasers shall have received a “bring-down comfort letter” from
the independent public accountants for the Partnership, dated as of the Closing Date, addressed to the Initial Purchasers and in the form of the “comfort letter” delivered on the date hereof, except that (i) it shall cover the
financial and accounting information in the Final Offering Memorandum and any amendment or supplement thereto and (ii) procedures shall be brought down to a date no more than 5 days prior to the Closing Date, and otherwise in form and substance
satisfactory to the Representatives and counsel to the Initial Purchasers; 

  
 21 









 (i) The Initial Purchasers shall have received on and as of the date hereof
a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Partnership that is reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives with respect to certain financial information contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum;

 (j) (i) Neither the Partnership nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have sustained since the date of the latest
audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any court or
governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Offering Memorandum, and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Offering Memorandum there shall not have been any change
in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, partners’ or
stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Offering Memorandum, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is
in your judgment so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Offering Memorandum; 

(k) The Initial Purchasers shall have been furnished with written instructions for the application of the proceeds of the
Securities in accordance with this Agreement and such other information as they may reasonably request; and 

(l) All agreements set forth in the blanket representation letter of the Issuers to DTC relating to the approval of the
Notes by DTC for “book-entry” transfer shall have been complied with. 
 If any of the conditions specified in this
Section 8 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement to be fulfilled (or waived by the Initial Purchasers), this Agreement may be terminated by the Initial Purchasers on notice to the Issuers at any time at or prior to
the Closing Date, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party. 
 The documents required to
be delivered by this Section 8 will be delivered at the office of counsel for the Initial Purchasers on the Closing Date. 

9. Initial Purchasers Information. The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers severally acknowledge that, for
all purposes (including Sections 5(a)(i) and 6), (a) the statements relating to stabilization transactions set forth in the sixth paragraph, (b) the first sentence of the seventh paragraph (c) and the eighth, tenth and the twelfth
paragraphs each under “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum constitute the only information furnished in writing by or behalf of any Initial Purchaser expressly for use in the
Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum. 
 10. Survival of Representations and Agreements.
All representations and warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, including the agreements contained in Sections 4(f) and 11(d), the indemnity agreements contained in Section 6 and the contribution agreements
contained in Section 7, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation 

  
 22 









 
made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or any controlling person thereof or by or on behalf of the Partnership or any controlling person thereof, and shall survive delivery of and payment
for the Original Notes to and by the Initial Purchasers. The agreements contained in Sections 4(f), 6, 7, 9 and 11(d) shall survive the termination of this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 11. 

11. Effective Date of Agreement; Termination. (a) This Agreement shall become effective upon execution and delivery of
a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto. 
 (b) The Initial Purchasers shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date by notice to the Partnership from the Initial Purchasers, without liability (other than with respect to Sections 6 and 7) on the Initial Purchasers’ part to the Partnership or any affiliate
thereof if, on or prior to such date, (i) the Partnership shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform any agreement on its part to be performed under this Agreement when and as required; (ii) any other condition to the obligations
of the Initial Purchasers under this Agreement to be fulfilled by the Issuers and Guarantors pursuant to Section 8 is not fulfilled when and as required; (iii) trading in any securities of the Partnership shall be suspended or limited by
the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum prices shall
have been established thereon by the Commission, or by such exchange or other regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction; (iv) a general moratorium shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities
or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred; (v) there is an outbreak or escalation of hostilities or national or international calamity in any case
involving the United States, on or after the date of this Agreement, or if there has been a declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other national or international calamity or crisis (economic, political, financial or
otherwise) which affects the U.S. and international markets, making it, in the Representatives’ judgment, impracticable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Pricing
Disclosure Package; or (vi) there shall have been such a material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions or the effect (or potential effect if the financial markets in the United States have not yet opened) of
international conditions on the financial markets in the United States shall be such as, in the Representatives’ judgment, to make it inadvisable or impracticable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in
the manner contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package. 
 (c) Any notice of termination pursuant to this Section 11
shall be given at the address specified in Section 12 below by telephone or facsimile, confirmed in writing by letter. 

(d) If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) or (ii), the Issuers and Guarantors, jointly and severally,
will reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Initial Purchasers’ counsel) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby. 
 12. If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities
agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally to
take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the
remaining Initial Purchasers) the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the


  
 23 









 
defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the
remaining Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will
terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser or the Partnership. In the event of a default by any Initial Purchaser as set forth in this Section 11(e), the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding
seven Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Final Offering Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any
defaulting Initial Purchaser of its liability, if any, to the Partnership or any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. 
 13. Notices. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Initial Purchasers, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request,
notice or agreement on behalf of any Initial Purchaser made or given jointly by Citigroup Global Markets Inc., UBS Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as the Representatives, except as otherwise provided herein. All statements, requests,
notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Initial Purchasers shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to (i) you as the Representatives in care of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at 388 Greenwich

Fulbright & Jaworski LLP, 1301 McKinney, Suite 5100, Houston, TX 77010-3095 (fax number: 713-651-5246), Attention: Kevin Trautner, Esq.

mailed; when receipt acknowledged by telecopier machine, if telecopied; and one business day after being timely delivered to a next day air courier. 
 In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Initial Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies their respective clients, including the Partnership, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the initial purchasers to properly
identify their respective clients. 
 14. Parties. This Agreement shall inure solely to the benefit of, and shall
be binding upon, the Initial Purchasers, the Issuers and Guarantors and the other indemnified parties referred to in Sections 6 and 7, and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person shall have or be construed to have any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of or by virtue of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. The term “successors and assigns” shall not include a purchaser, in its capacity as such, of Securities from the
Initial Purchasers. 

  
 24 









 15. Construction. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any provisions thereof relating to conflicts of law). 

16. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. No proceeding related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby may be commenced, prosecuted or continued in any court other than the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which courts shall
have jurisdiction over the adjudication of such matters, and the Issuers and Guarantors hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with respect thereto. The Issuers and Guarantors hereby waive all right to trial by jury
in any proceeding (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Issuers and Guarantors agree that a final judgment in any such proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive
and binding upon the Issuers and Guarantors and may be enforced in any other courts in the jurisdiction of which the Issuers and Guarantors are or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment. 

17. Captions. The captions included in this Agreement are included solely for convenience of reference and are not to be
considered a part of this Agreement. 
 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in various counterparts
that together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 19. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Issuers and Guarantors
hereby acknowledge that the Initial Purchasers are acting solely as initial purchasers in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities. The Issuers and Guarantors further acknowledge that each of the Initial Purchasers is acting pursuant
to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis and in no event do the parties intend that any Initial Purchaser act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Issuers and Guarantors, their
management, stockholders, creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that such Initial Purchaser may undertake or has undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Securities, either before or after the date hereof.
The Initial Purchasers hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary or similar obligations to the Issuers and Guarantors, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the
Issuers and Guarantors hereby confirm their understanding and agreement to that effect. The Issuers and Guarantors and each Initial Purchaser agree that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any such
transactions, and that any opinions or views expressed by any Initial Purchaser to the Issuers and Guarantors regarding such transactions, including but not limited to any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the Securities, do
not constitute advice or recommendations to the Issuers and Guarantors. The Issuers and Guarantors hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that such Issuers and Guarantors may have against the Initial Purchasers
with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty to the Issuers and Guarantors in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.
