 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED 

PARTNERSHIP OF TEEKAY LNG PARTNERS L.P. 

THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF TEEKAY LNG PARTNERS L.P. dated as of
                , 2016, is entered into by Teekay GP L.L.C., a Marshall Islands limited liability company, as the General Partner, and, solely with respect to Section
16.5(b), Teekay Holdings Limited, a Bermuda company, together with any other Persons who become Partners in the Partnership or parties hereto as provided herein. In consideration of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS 
  

	Section 1.1	Definitions. 

 The following definitions shall be for all purposes, unless otherwise
clearly indicated to the contrary, applied to the terms used in this Agreement. 
 “Acquisition” means any transaction in
which any Group Member acquires (through an asset acquisition, merger, stock acquisition or other form of investment) control over all or a portion of the assets, properties or business of another Person for the purpose of increasing the operating
capacity or revenues of the Partnership Group from the operating capacity or revenues of the Partnership Group existing immediately prior to such transaction. 

“Additional Book Basis” means the portion of any remaining Carrying Value of an Adjusted Property that is attributable to
positive adjustments made to such Carrying Value as a result of Book-Up Events. For purposes of determining the extent that Carrying Value constitutes Additional Book Basis: 

(i)    Any negative adjustment made to the Carrying Value of an Adjusted Property as a result of either a
Book-Down Event or a Book-Up Event shall first be deemed to offset or decrease that portion of the Carrying Value of such Adjusted Property that is attributable to any prior positive adjustments made thereto pursuant to a Book-Up Event or Book-Down
Event. 
 (ii)    If Carrying Value that constitutes Additional Book Basis is reduced as a result of a
Book-Down Event and the Carrying Value of other property is increased as a result of such Book-Down Event, an allocable portion of any such increase in Carrying Value shall be treated as Additional Book Basis; provided, that the amount
treated as Additional Book Basis pursuant hereto as a result of such Book-Down Event shall not exceed the amount by which the Aggregate Remaining Net Positive Adjustments after such Book-Down Event exceeds the remaining Additional Book Basis
attributable to all of the Partnership’s Adjusted Property after such Book-Down Event (determined without regard to the application of this clause (ii) to such Book-Down Event). 







 “Additional Book Basis Derivative Items” means any Book Basis Derivative Items
that are computed with reference to Additional Book Basis. To the extent that the Additional Book Basis attributable to all of the Partnership’s Adjusted Property as of the beginning of any taxable period exceeds the Aggregate Remaining Net
Positive Adjustments as of the beginning of such period (the “Excess Additional Book Basis”), the Additional Book Basis Derivative Items for such period shall be reduced by the amount that bears the same ratio to the amount of Additional
Book Basis Derivative Items determined without regard to this sentence as the Excess Additional Book Basis bears to the Additional Book Basis as of the beginning of such period. 

“Adjusted Capital Account” means the Capital Account maintained for each Partner as of the end of each fiscal year of the
Partnership, (a) increased by any amounts that such Partner is obligated to restore under the standards set by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) (or is deemed obligated to restore under Treasury Regulation
Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5)) and (b) decreased by (i) the amount of all losses and deductions that, as of the end of such fiscal year, are reasonably expected to be allocated to such Partner in subsequent years under
Sections 704(e)(2) and 706(d) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.751-1(b)(2)(ii), and (ii) the amount of all distributions that, as of the end of such fiscal year, are reasonably expected to be made to such Partner in
subsequent years in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise to the extent they exceed offsetting increases to such Partner’s Capital Account that are reasonably expected to occur during (or prior to) the year in which such
distributions are reasonably expected to be made (other than increases as a result of a minimum gain chargeback pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(i) or 6.1(d)(ii)). The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account is intended to comply with the
provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. The “Adjusted Capital Account” of a Partner in respect of a General Partner Interest, a Common Unit, a Series A Preferred
Unit or an Incentive Distribution Right or any other Partnership Interest shall be the amount which such Adjusted Capital Account would be if such General Partner Interest, Common Unit, Series A Preferred Unit, Incentive Distribution Right or other
Partnership Interest were the only interest in the Partnership held by such Partner from and after the date on which such General Partner Interest, Common Unit, Series A Preferred Unit, Incentive Distribution Right or other Partnership Interest was
first issued. 
 “Adjusted Property” means any property the Carrying Value of which has been adjusted pursuant to Section
5.5(d)(i) or 5.5(d)(ii). 
 “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly
through one or more intermediaries’ controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, the Person in question. As used herein, the term “control” means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the
direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. 

“Aggregate Remaining Net Positive Adjustments” means, as of the end of any taxable period, the sum of the Remaining Net
Positive Adjustments of all the Partners. 
 “Agreed Allocation” means any allocation, other than a Required Allocation, of
an item of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1, including, without limitation, a Curative Allocation (if appropriate to the context in which the term “Agreed Allocation” is used). 

  
 2 








 “Agreed Value” of any Contributed Property means the fair market value of such
property or other consideration at the time of contribution as determined by the General Partner. The General Partner shall use such method as it determines to be appropriate to allocate the aggregate Agreed Value of Contributed Properties
contributed to the Partnership in a single or integrated transaction among each separate property on a basis proportional to the fair market value of each Contributed Property. 

“Agreement” means this Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Teekay LNG Partners L.P., as it may be
amended, supplemented or restated from time to time. 
 “arrears” means, with respect to Series A Distributions for any
Series A Distribution Period, that the full cumulative Series A Distributions to and including the last day of the most recently completed Series A Distribution Period through the most recent Series A Distribution Payment Date have not been paid on
all Outstanding Series A Preferred Units. 
 “Associate” means, when used to indicate a relationship with any Person,
(a) any corporation or organization of which such Person is a director, officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the owner of 20% or more of any class of voting stock or other voting interest; (b) any trust or other estate in
which such Person has at least a 20% beneficial interest or as to which such Person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; and (c) any relative or spouse of such Person, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same principal
residence as such Person. 
 “Available Cash” means, with respect to any Quarter ending prior to the Liquidation Date: 

(a)    the sum of (i) all cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership Group (or the Partnership’s proportionate
share of cash and cash equivalents in the case of Subsidiaries that are not wholly owned) on hand at the end of such Quarter, and (ii) all additional cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership Group (or the Partnership’s proportionate
share of cash and cash equivalents in the case of Subsidiaries that are not wholly owned) on hand on the date of determination of Available Cash with respect to such Quarter resulting from Working Capital Borrowings made subsequent to the end of
such Quarter, less 
 (b)    the amount of any cash reserves (or the Partnership’s proportionate share of cash
reserves in the case of Subsidiaries that are not wholly owned) established by the General Partner to (i) provide for the proper conduct of the business of the Partnership Group (including reserves for future capital expenditures and for
anticipated future credit needs of the Partnership Group) subsequent to such Quarter, (ii) comply with applicable law or any loan agreement, security agreement, mortgage, debt instrument or other agreement or obligation to which any Group
Member is a party or by which it is bound or its assets are subject, (iii) provide funds for Series A Payments or (iv) provide funds for distributions under Section 6.4 or 6.5 in respect of any one or more of the next four Quarters;
provided, however, that the General Partner may not establish 

  
 3 








 
cash reserves pursuant to (iv) above if the effect of establishing such reserves would be that the Partnership is unable to distribute the Minimum Quarterly Distribution on all Common Units
with respect to such Quarter; and, provided further, that disbursements made by a Group Member or cash reserves established, increased or reduced after the end of such Quarter but on or before the date of determination of Available Cash with respect
to such Quarter shall be deemed to have been made, established, increased or reduced, for purposes of determining Available Cash, within such Quarter if the General Partner so determines. 

“Board of Directors” means the board of directors or managers of a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable,
or if a limited partnership, the board of directors or board of managers of the general partner of such limited partnership. 

“Book Basis Derivative Items” means any item of income, deduction, gain or loss included in the determination of Net Income
or Net Loss that is computed with reference to the Carrying Value of an Adjusted Property (e.g., depreciation, depletion, or gain or loss with respect to an Adjusted Property). 

“Book-Down Event” means an event that triggers a negative adjustment to the Capital Accounts of the Partners pursuant to
Section 5.5(d). 
 “Book-Tax Disparity” means with respect to any item of Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, as of
the date of any determination, the difference between the Carrying Value of such Contributed Property or Adjusted Property and the adjusted basis thereof for United States federal income tax purposes as of such date. A Partner’s share of the
Partnership’s Book-Tax Disparities in all of its Contributed Property and Adjusted Property will be reflected by the difference between such Partner’s Capital Account balance as maintained pursuant to Section 5.5 and the hypothetical
balance of such Partner’s Capital Account computed as if it had been maintained strictly in accordance with federal income tax accounting principles. 

“Book-Up Event” means an event that triggers a positive adjustment to the Capital Accounts of the Partners pursuant to
Section 5.5(d). 
 “Business Day” means Monday through Friday of each week, except that a legal holiday recognized as such
by the government of the United States of America or the State of New York shall not be regarded as a Business Day. 
 “Capital
Account” means the capital account maintained for a Partner pursuant to Section 5.5. The “Capital Account” of a Partner in respect of a General Partner Interest, a Common Unit, a Series A Preferred Unit, an Incentive
Distribution Right or any other Partnership Interest shall be the amount which such Capital Account would be if such General Partner Interest, Common Unit, Series A Preferred Unit, Incentive Distribution Right or other Partnership Interest were the
only interest in the Partnership held by such Partner from and after the date on which such General Partner Interest, Common Unit, Series A Preferred Unit, Incentive Distribution Right or other Partnership Interest was first issued. 

“Capital Contribution” means any cash, cash equivalents or the Net Agreed Value of Contributed Property that a Partner
contributes to the Partnership. 

  
 4 








 “Capital Improvement” means any (a) addition or improvement to the capital
assets owned by any Group Member or (b) acquisition of existing, or the construction of new, capital assets (including, without limitation, liquefied natural gas carriers, crude oil tankers and related assets), in each case if such addition,
improvement, acquisition or construction is made to increase the operating capacity or revenues of the Partnership Group from the operating capacity or revenues of the Partnership Group existing immediately prior to such addition, improvement,
acquisition or construction. 
 “Capital Surplus” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 6.3(a). 

“Carrying Value” means (a) with respect to a Contributed Property, the Agreed Value of such property reduced (but not
below zero) by all depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions charged to the Partners’ Capital Accounts in respect of such Contributed Property, and (b) with respect to any other Partnership property, the adjusted basis of
such property for United States federal income tax purposes, all as of the time of determination. The Carrying Value of any property shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with Sections 5.5(d)(i) and 5.5(d)(ii) and to reflect
changes, additions or other adjustments to the Carrying Value for dispositions and acquisitions of Partnership properties, as deemed appropriate by the General Partner. 

“Cause” means a court of competent jurisdiction has entered a final, non-appealable judgment finding the General Partner
liable for actual fraud, gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct in its capacity as a general partner of the Partnership.

Partner of all or any part of its General Partner Interest to another Person shall be permitted unless (i) the transferee agrees to assume the rights and duties of the General Partner under this Agreement and to be bound by the provisions of this
Agreement, (ii) the Partnership receives an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer would not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner or of any limited partner or member of any other Group Member or cause the Partnership or any
other Group Member to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for United States federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed) and (iii) such transferee also agrees to
purchase all (or the appropriate portion thereof, if applicable) of the partnership or membership interest of the General Partner as the general partner or managing member, if any, of each other Group Member. In the case of a transfer pursuant
to and in compliance with this Section 4.6, the transferee or successor (as the case may be) shall, subject to compliance with the terms of Section 10.3, be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner immediately prior to the transfer of the
General Partner Interest, and the business of the Partnership shall continue without dissolution. 
  

	Section 4.7	Transfer of Incentive Distribution Rights. 

 The General Partner or any other holder of
Incentive Distribution Rights may transfer any or all of its Incentive Distribution Rights without Unitholder approval. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no transfer of Incentive Distribution Rights to another Person shall be
permitted unless the transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. 
  

	Section 4.8	Restrictions on Transfers. 

 (a)    Except as provided in Section
4.8(c) below, but notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, no transfer of any Partnership Interests shall be made if such transfer would (i) violate the then applicable federal or state securities laws, laws of the Republic of the
Marshall Islands, or rules and regulations of the Commission, any state securities commission or any other governmental authority with jurisdiction over such transfer, (ii) terminate the existence or qualification of the Partnership or any Group
Member under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation or (iii) cause the Partnership or any Group Member to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for United States federal income tax
purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed). 
 (b)    The General Partner may impose restrictions on the
transfer of Partnership Interests if it receives an Opinion of Counsel that such restrictions are necessary to avoid a significant risk 

  
 29 








 
of any Group Member becoming taxable as a corporation or otherwise becoming taxable as an entity for United States federal income tax purposes. The General Partner may impose such restrictions by
amending this Agreement; provided, however, that any amendment that would result in the delisting or suspension of trading of any class of Limited Partner Interests on the principal National Securities Exchange on which such class of
Limited Partner Interests is then listed must be approved, prior to such amendment being effected, by the holders of a majority of the Outstanding Limited Partner Interests of such class. 

(c)    Nothing contained in this Article IV, or elsewhere in this Agreement, shall preclude the settlement of any
transactions involving Partnership Interests entered into through the facilities of any National Securities Exchange on which such Partnership Interests are listed for trading. 

ARTICLE V 
 CAPITAL
CONTRIBUTIONS AND ISSUANCE OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS 
  

	Section 5.1	Organizational Contributions. 

 (a)    In connection with the
formation of the Partnership under the Marshall Islands Act, the General Partner made an initial Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount of $20.00, for a 2% General Partner Interest in the Partnership and was admitted as the
General Partner of the Partnership, and the Organizational Limited Partner made an initial Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount of $980 for a 98% Limited Partner Interest in the Partnership and was admitted as a Limited Partner of
the Partnership. Ninety-eight percent of any interest or other profit that may have resulted from the investment or other use of such initial Capital Contributions shall be allocated and distributed to the Organizational Limited Partner, and
the balance thereof shall be allocated and distributed to the General Partner. 
 (b)    Prior to the Closing Date
(i) the General Partner contributed all of its ownership interest in the Operating Company to the Partnership in exchange for (A) a continuation of its 2% General Partner Interest and (B) the Incentive Distribution Rights and
(ii) Teekay Corporation contributed all of its ownership interest in the Operating Company, in exchange for a continuation of its 98% limited partner interest and a promissory note. 

 

	Section 5.2	Contributions by the General Partner and its Affiliates. 

 (a)    On
the Closing Date and pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Teekay Corporation’s 98% initial limited partner interest was converted into (A) 8,734,572 Common Units and (B) 14,734,572 Subordinated Units (as defined in the Prior
Agreement). 
 (b)    Upon the issuance of any additional Limited Partner Interests by the Partnership (other than the
issuance of the Common Units issued in the Initial Offering, the issuance of the Common Units issued pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and the issuance of the Series A Preferred Units), the General Partner shall be required to make additional
Capital Contributions equal to (i) 2/98ths of any amount contributed to the Partnership by the Limited Partners in exchange for the additional Limited Partner Interests issued to such Limited Partners less


  
 30 








 
(ii) 2/98ths of any amount so contributed by such Limited Partners that is used by the Partnership concurrently with such contribution to redeem or repurchase from any Person outstanding
Limited Partner Interests of the same class as the Limited Partner Interests issued to such Limited Partners at a price per Limited Partner Interest equal to the net proceeds per Limited Partner Interest, before expenses, that the Partnership
receives from such issuances. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and Article XII, the General Partner shall not be obligated to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership. The General Partner’s
Percentage Interest shall not change as a result of the issuance of any Series A Preferred Units. 
  

	Section 5.3	Contributions by Initial Limited Partners and Distributions to the General Partner and its Affiliates. 


(a)    On the Closing Date and pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, each Underwriter contributed to the Partnership
cash in an amount equal to the Issue Price per Initial Common Unit, multiplied by the number of Common Units specified in the Underwriting Agreement to be purchased by such Underwriter at the Closing Date. In exchange for such Capital Contributions
by the Underwriters, the Partnership issued Common Units to each Underwriter on whose behalf such Capital Contribution was made in an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the cash contribution to the Partnership by or on behalf of
such Underwriter by (ii) the Issue Price per Initial Common Unit. 
 (b)    Upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option,
each Underwriter contributed to the Partnership cash in an amount equal to the Issue Price per Initial Common Unit, multiplied by the number of Common Units to be purchased by such Underwriter at the Option Closing Date. In exchange for such Capital
Contributions by the Underwriters, the Partnership issued Common Units to each Underwriter on whose behalf such Capital Contribution was made in an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the cash contributions to the Partnership by or
on behalf of such Underwriter by (ii) the Issue Price per Initial Common Unit.
 (c)    No Limited Partner Interests
were issued or issuable as of or at the Closing Date other than (i) the Common Units issued pursuant to subparagraph (a) hereof in aggregate number equal to 6,000,000, (ii) the “Option Units” as such term is used in the Underwriting
Agreement in an aggregate number up to 900,000 issued upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option pursuant to subparagraph (c) hereof, (iii) the 14,734,572 Subordinated Units (as defined in the Prior Agreement) issued pursuant to Section 5.2
hereof, (iv) the 8,734,572 Common Units issued pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, (v) the Incentive Distribution Rights and (vi) 1,000,000 Common Units issuable pursuant to the Partnership’s 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan. 

 

	Section 5.4	Interest and Withdrawal. 

 No interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital
Contributions. No Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its Capital Contribution, except to the extent, if any, that distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon termination of the Partnership may be considered and
permitted as such by law and then only to the extent provided for in this Agreement. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall have priority over any other Partner either as to the return of Capital Contributions or
as to profits, losses or distributions. 

  
 31 









	Section 5.5	Capital Accounts. 

 (a)    The Partnership shall maintain for each
Partner (or a beneficial owner of Partnership Interests held by a nominee in any case in which the nominee has furnished the identity of such owner to the Partnership in accordance with Section 6031(c) of the Code or any other method acceptable to
the General Partner) owning a Partnership Interest a separate Capital Account with respect to such Partnership Interest in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Such Capital Account shall be increased by
(i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made to the Partnership with respect to such Partnership Interest, provided that the initial Capital Account of the initial holder of a Series A Preferred Unit with respect to such Series A Preferred Unit
shall equal the Stated Series A Liquidation Preference irrespective of the amount paid by such holder for such Series A Preferred Unit, and (ii) all items of Partnership income and gain (including, without limitation, income and gain exempt from
tax) computed in accordance with Section 5.5(b) and allocated with respect to such Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 6.1, and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Net Agreed Value of all actual and deemed distributions of cash or
property made with respect to such Partnership Interest and (y) all items of Partnership deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 5.5(b) and allocated with respect to such Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 6.1. 

(b)    For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction which is to be allocated
pursuant to Article VI and is to be reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for United States federal
income tax purposes (including, without limitation, any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for that purpose), provided, that: 

(i)    Solely for purposes of this Section 5.5, the Partnership shall be treated as owning directly its
proportionate share (as determined by the General Partner based upon the provisions of the applicable Group Member Agreement) of all property owned any other Group Member that is classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax
purposes. 
 (ii)    All fees and other expenses incurred by the Partnership to promote the sale of (or
to sell) a Partnership Interest that can neither be deducted nor amortized under Section 709 of the Code, if any, shall, for purposes of Capital Account maintenance, be treated as an item of deduction at the time such fees and other expenses are
incurred and shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1. 
 (iii)    Except as
otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the
Partnership and, as to those items described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for United States
federal income tax purposes. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into
account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment in the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain or loss. 

  
 32 








 (iv)    Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable
disposition of any Partnership property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Partnership’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date. 

(v)    In accordance with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code, any deductions for depreciation,
cost recovery or amortization attributable to any Contributed Property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property on the date it was acquired by the Partnership were equal to the Agreed Value of such property. Upon an
adjustment pursuant to Section 5.5(d) to the Carrying Value of any Partnership property subject to depreciation, cost recovery or amortization, any further deductions for such depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to such property
shall be determined (A) as if the adjusted basis of such property were equal to the Carrying Value of such property immediately following such adjustment and (B) using a rate of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization derived from the
same method and useful life (or, if applicable, the remaining useful life) as is applied for United States federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that, if the asset has a zero adjusted basis for United States federal income
tax purposes, depreciation, cost recovery or amortization deductions shall be determined using any method that the General Partner may adopt. 

(c)    A transferee of a Partnership Interest shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor
relating to the Partnership Interest so transferred. 
 (d)    (i) In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), on an issuance of additional Partnership Interests for cash or Contributed Property, the issuance of Partnership Interests as consideration for the provision of services or the conversion of the General Partner’s Combined
Interest to Common Units pursuant to Section 11.3(b), the Capital Accounts of all Partners and the Carrying Value of each Partnership property immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or
Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property for an amount equal to its fair market value immediately prior to such issuance and
had been allocated to the Partners at such time pursuant to Section 6.1(c) in the same manner as any item of gain or loss actually recognized following an event giving rise to the dissolution of the Partnership would have been allocated. In
determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to the issuance of additional Partnership Interests shall be
determined by the General Partner using such method of valuation as it may adopt; provided, however, that the General Partner, in arriving at such valuation, must take fully into account the fair market value of the Partnership Interests of all
Partners at such time. The General Partner shall allocate such aggregate value among the assets of the Partnership (in such manner as it determines) to arrive at a fair market value for individual properties. 

  
 33 








 (ii)    In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to any actual or deemed distribution to a Partner of any Partnership property (other than a distribution of cash that is not in redemption or retirement of a Partnership Interest), the Capital Accounts of all
Partners and the Carrying Value of all Partnership property shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been
recognized on an actual sale of each such property immediately prior to such distribution for an amount equal to its fair market value, and had been allocated to the Partners, at such time, pursuant to Section 6.1(c) in the same manner as any item
of gain or loss actually recognized following an event giving rise to the dissolution of the Partnership would have been allocated. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all
Partnership assets (including cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to a distribution shall (A) in the case of an actual distribution that is not made pursuant to Section 12.4 or in the case of a deemed distribution, be determined and
allocated in the same manner as that provided in Section 5.5(d)(i) or (B) in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Section 12.4, be determined and allocated by the Liquidator using such method of valuation as it may adopt. 

 

	Section 5.6	Issuances of Additional Partnership Securities. 

 (a)    Subject to
any approvals required by Series A Holders pursuant to Section 16.5(c)(ii), the Partnership may issue additional Partnership Securities and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to the Partnership Securities for any Partnership
purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as the General Partner shall determine, all without the approval of any Limited Partners. 

(b)    Each additional Partnership Security authorized to be issued by the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.6(a) may be
issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any such classes, with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing classes and series of Partnership Securities), as shall be fixed by the General
Partner, including (i) the right to share Partnership profits and losses or items thereof; (ii) the right to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) whether,
and the terms and conditions upon which, the Partnership may redeem the Partnership Security; (v) whether such Partnership Security is issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion
or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which each Partnership Security will be issued, evidenced by certificates and assigned or transferred; (vii) the method for determining the Percentage Interest as to such Partnership
Security; and (viii) the right, if any, of each such Partnership Security to vote on Partnership matters, including matters relating to the relative rights, preferences and privileges of such Partnership Security. 

(c)    The General Partner shall take all actions that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with
(i) each issuance of Partnership Securities and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to Partnership Securities pursuant to this Section 5.6, (ii) the conversion of the General Partner Interest or any Incentive
Distribution Rights into Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) the admission of additional Limited Partners and 

  
 34 








 
(iv) all additional issuances of Partnership Securities. The General Partner shall determine the relative rights, powers and duties of the holders of the Units or other Partnership
Securities being so issued. The General Partner shall do all things necessary to comply with the Marshall Islands Act and is authorized and directed to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with any future
issuance of Partnership Securities or in connection with the conversion of the General Partner Interest or any Incentive Distribution Rights into Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including compliance with any statute, rule, regulation
or guideline of any federal, state or other governmental agency or any National Securities Exchange on which the Units or other Partnership Securities are listed. 
  

	Section 5.7	Limitations on Issuance of Additional Partnership Securities. 

 The Partnership may
issue an unlimited number of Partnership Securities (or options, warrants or appreciation rights related thereto) pursuant to Section 5.6 without the approval of the Limited Partners; provided, however, that no fractional units shall be issued by
the Partnership. 
  

	Section 5.8	Limited Preemptive Right. 

 Except as provided in this Section 5.8 and in Section
5.2(b), no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to the issuance of any Partnership Security, whether unissued, held in the treasury or hereafter created. The General Partner shall have the right, which
it may from time to time assign in whole or in part to any of its Affiliates, to purchase Partnership Securities from the Partnership whenever, and on the same terms that, the Partnership issues Partnership Securities to Persons other than the
General Partner and its Affiliates, to the extent necessary to maintain the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and its Affiliates equal to that which existed immediately prior to the issuance of such Partnership Securities; provided,
however, that the amount of any Series A Preferred Units issued by the Partnership from time to time that the General Partner shall have a right to purchase pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall equal the product of (a) the aggregate Percentage
Interest of the General Partner and its Affiliates multiplied by (b) the number of Series A Preferred Units so issued. 
  

	Section 5.9	Splits and Combinations. 

 (a)    Subject to Sections 5.9(d), 6.6
and 6.8 (dealing with adjustments of distribution levels), the Partnership may make a Pro Rata distribution of Partnership Securities (other than Series A Preferred Units) to all Record Holders of the same class or series of Partnership Securities
or may effect a subdivision or combination of the same class or series of Partnership Securities so long as, after any such event, each Partner holding such class or series of such Partnership Securities shall have the same Percentage Interest in
the Partnership as before such event, and any amounts calculated on a per Unit basis (including those based on the Stated Series A Liquidation Preference) or stated as a number of Units are proportionately adjusted. 

(b)    Whenever such a distribution, subdivision or combination of Partnership Securities is declared, the General Partner
shall select a Record Date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective and shall send notice thereof at least 20 days prior to such Record Date to each Record Holder as of a date not less than 10 days prior to the
date of such 

  
 35 








 
notice. The General Partner also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number of Partnership Securities to be held by each Record Holder after giving
effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination. The General Partner shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation. 

(c)    Promptly following any such distribution, subdivision or combination, the Partnership may issue Certificates to the
Record Holders of Partnership Securities as of the applicable Record Date representing the new number of Partnership Securities held by such Record Holders, or the General Partner may adopt such other procedures that it determines to be necessary or
appropriate to reflect such changes. If any such combination results in a smaller total number of Partnership Securities Outstanding, the Partnership shall require, as a condition to the delivery to a Record Holder of such new Certificate, the
surrender of any Certificate held by such Record Holder immediately prior to such Record Date. 
 (d)    The Partnership
shall not issue fractional Units upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Units. If a distribution, subdivision or combination of Units would result in the issuance of fractional Units but for the provisions of this Section 5.9(d), each
fractional Unit, as applicable, shall be rounded to the nearest whole Unit (and a 0.5 Unit shall be rounded to the next higher Unit). 
  

	Section 5.10	Fully Paid and Non-Assessable Nature of Limited Partner Interests. 

 All Limited Partner
Interests issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this Article V shall be fully paid and non-assessable Limited Partner Interests in the Partnership, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 51 of the
Marshall Islands Act. 
 ARTICLE VI 

ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS 
  

	Section 6.1	Allocations for Capital Account Purposes. 

 For purposes of maintaining the Capital

 (a)    Net Income. After giving effect to the special allocations
set forth in Section 6.1(d), including Section 6.1(d)(x)(B), Net Income for each taxable year and all items of income, gain, loss and deduction taken into account in computing Net Income for such taxable year shall be allocated as follows: 

(i)    First, 100% to the General Partner, in an amount equal to the aggregate Net Losses allocated to the
General Partner pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(iv) for all previous taxable years until the aggregate Net Income allocated to the General Partner pursuant to 

  
 36

Common Units, Pro Rata, until the aggregate Net Income allocated pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(ii) for the current taxable year and all previous taxable years is equal to the aggregate Net Losses allocated pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(ii) for all
previous taxable years; and 
 (iii)    Third, 2% to the General Partner, and 98% to the Unitholders

the aggregate Net Losses allocated pursuant to this Section 6.1(b)(i) for the current taxable year and all previous taxable years is equal to the aggregate Net Income allocated pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(iii) for all previous taxable years, provided
that the Net Losses shall not be allocated pursuant to this Section 6.1(b)(i) to the extent that such allocation would cause any Unitholder holding Common Units to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of such taxable
year (or increase any existing deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account); 
 (ii)    Second, 2% to
the General Partner, and 98% to the Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata; provided, that Net Losses shall not be allocated pursuant to this Section 6.1(b)(ii) to the extent that such allocation would cause any Unitholder holding Common
Units to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of such taxable year (or increase any existing deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account); 

(iii)    Third, to all holders of Preferred Units, in proportion to their positive Adjusted Capital Account
balances, until the Adjusted Capital Account in respect of each Preferred Unit then Outstanding has been reduced to zero; and 

(iv)    Fourth, the balance, if any, 100% to the General Partner. 

(c)    Net Termination Gains and Losses. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section
6.1(d), including Section 6.1(d)(x)(B), all items of income, gain, loss and deduction taken into account in computing Net Termination Gain or Net Termination Loss for such taxable period shall be allocated in the same manner as such Net Termination
Gain or Net Termination Loss is allocated hereunder. All allocations under this Section 6.1(c) shall be made after Capital Account balances have been adjusted by all other allocations provided under this Section 6.1 and after all distributions of
Available Cash provided under Sections 6.4 and 6.5 have been made; provided, however, that solely for purposes of this Section 6.1(c), Capital Accounts shall not be adjusted for distributions made pursuant to Section 12.4. 

  
 37

recognized pursuant to Section 5.5(d)), such Net Termination Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in the following manner (and the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be increased by the amount so allocated in each of the following
subclauses, in the order listed, before an allocation is made pursuant to the next succeeding subclause): 

(A)    First, to each Partner having a deficit balance in its Capital Account, in the proportion that such
deficit balance bears to the total deficit balances in the Capital Accounts of all Partners, until each such Partner has been allocated Net Termination Gain equal to any such deficit balance in its Capital Account; 

(B)    Second, 98% to all Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, and 2% to the General Partner, until
the Capital Account in respect of each Common Unit then Outstanding is equal to the sum of (1) its Unrecovered Capital plus (2) the Minimum Quarterly Distribution for the Quarter during which the Liquidation Date occurs, reduced by any distribution
pursuant to Section 6.4(a) with respect to such Common Unit for such Quarter (the amount determined pursuant to this clause (2) is hereinafter defined as the “Unpaid MQD”); 

(C)    Third, 98% to all Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, and 2% to the General Partner, until
the Capital Account in respect of each Common Unit then Outstanding is equal to the sum of (1) its Unrecovered Capital, plus (2) the Unpaid MQD, plus (3) the excess of (aa) the First Target Distribution less the Minimum Quarterly Distribution
for each Quarter of the Partnership’s existence over (bb) the cumulative per Common Unit amount of any distributions of Available Cash that is deemed to be Operating Surplus made pursuant to Section 6.4(b) (the sum of (1) plus
(2) plus (3) is hereinafter defined as the “First Liquidation Target Amount”); 

(D)    Fourth, 85% to all Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, 13% to the holders of the Incentive
Distribution Rights, Pro Rata, and 2% to the General Partner, until the Capital Account in respect of each Common Unit then Outstanding is equal to the sum of (1) the First Liquidation Target Amount, plus (2) the excess of (aa) the
Second Target Distribution less the First Target Distribution for each Quarter of the Partnership’s existence over (bb) the cumulative per Common Unit amount of any distributions of Available Cash that is deemed to be Operating Surplus
made pursuant to Section 6.4(c) (the sum of (1) plus (2) is hereinafter defined as the “Second Liquidation Target Amount”); 

(E)    Fifth, 75% to all Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, 23% to the holders of the Incentive
Distribution Rights, Pro Rata, and 2% to the General Partner, until the Capital Account in respect of each Common Unit then 

  
 38 








 
Outstanding is equal to the sum of (1) the Second Liquidation Target Amount, plus (2) the excess of (aa) the Third Target Distribution less the Second Target Distribution for each Quarter of
the Partnership’s existence over (bb) the cumulative per Common Unit amount of any distributions of Available Cash that is deemed to be Operating Surplus made pursuant to Section 6.4(d); and 

(F)    Finally, any remaining amount 50% to all Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, 48% to the
holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights, Pro Rata, and 2% to the General Partner. 
 (ii)    If a
Net Termination Loss is recognized (or deemed recognized pursuant to Section 5.5(d)), such Net Termination Loss shall be allocated among the Partners in the following manner: 

(A)    First, to all Unitholders holding Common Units, and to the General Partner in accordance with, and
in proportion to, the positive balances of their respective Capital Accounts until the Capital Account in respect of each Common Unit then Outstanding and the General Partner has been reduced to zero; 

(B)    Second, to all holders of Series A Preferred Units, Pro Rata, until the Capital Account in respect
of each Series A Preferred Unit has been reduced to zero; and 
 (C)    Third, the balance, if any, 100%
to the General Partner. 
 (d)    Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1,
the following special allocations shall be made for such taxable period: 
 (i)    Partnership Minimum
Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, each Partner shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such
period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6), 1.704-2(g)(2) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provision. For purposes of this Section 6.1(d), each Partner’s
Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d) with respect to such taxable period
(other than an allocation pursuant to Sections 6.1(d)(vi) and 6.1(d)(vii)). This Section 6.1(d)(i) is intended to comply with the Partnership Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith. 
 (ii)    Chargeback of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.1 (other than Section 6.1(d)(i)), except as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Partnership
taxable period, any Partner with a share of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of

such taxable period shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation
Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or any successor provisions. For purposes of this Section 6.1(d), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder
shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d), other than Section 6.1(d)(i) and other than an allocation pursuant to Sections 6.1(d)(vi) and 6.1(d)(vii), with respect to such taxable period.
This Section 6.1(d)(ii) is intended to comply with the chargeback of items of income and gain requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

(iii)    Priority Allocations. 

(A)    If the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of any property distributed (except cash or property
distributed pursuant to Section 12.4) to any Unitholder holding Common Units with respect to its Common Units for a taxable year is greater (on a per Common Unit basis) than the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of property distributed to the
other Unitholders with respect to their Common Units (on a per Common Unit basis), then (1) each Unitholder holding Common Units receiving such greater cash or property distribution shall be allocated gross income in an amount equal to the product
of (aa) the amount by which the distribution (on a per Common Unit basis) to such Unitholder holding Common Units exceeds the distribution (on a per Common Unit basis) to the Unitholders holding Common Units receiving the smallest distribution and
(bb) the number of Common Units owned by the Unitholder holding Common Units receiving the greater distribution; and (2) the General Partner shall be allocated gross income in an aggregate amount equal to 2/98ths of the sum of the amounts allocated
in clause (1) above. 
 (B)    After the application of Section 6.1(d)(iii)(A), all or any portion of the
remaining items of Partnership gross income or gain for the taxable period, if any, shall be allocated (1) to the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights, Pro Rata, until the aggregate amount of such items allocated to the holders of Incentive
Distribution Rights pursuant to this paragraph 6.1(d)(iii)(B) for the current taxable year and all previous taxable years is equal to the cumulative amount of all Incentive Distributions made to the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights from the
Closing Date to a date 45 days after the end of the current taxable year and (2) to the General Partner in an amount equal to 2/98ths of the sum of the amounts allocated in clause (1) above. 

(iv)    Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments,
allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount
and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or
distributions as quickly as possible unless such deficit balance is otherwise eliminated pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(i) or (ii). 

  
 40 








 (v)    Gross Income Allocations. In the event any
Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Partnership taxable period in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Partner is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (B) the amount such Partner
is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible;
provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(v) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in this Section
6.1 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.1(d)(v) were not in this Agreement. 

(vi)    Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to
the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If the General Partner determines that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions should be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the
Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is authorized, upon notice to the other Partners, to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio that does satisfy such requirements. 

(vii)    Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall
be allocated 100% to the Partner that bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If more than
one Partner bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt, such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Partners in accordance with the ratios in which they share such
Economic Risk of Loss. 
 (viii)    Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Partners agree that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the sum of (A) the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain and (B) the total amount of Nonrecourse Built-in Gain shall be allocated among the
Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. 
 (ix)    Code Section 754
Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in
determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or
loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations. 

  
 41 








 (x)    Preferred Unit Allocations. 

(A)    Income of the Partnership attributable to the issuance by the Partnership of a Preferred Unit for an
amount in excess of such Preferred Unit’s Stated Series A Liquidation Preference shall be allocated to all Unitholders holding Common Units and the General Partner in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. 

(B)    Items of income or gain for each taxable period shall be allocated to each holder of Series A
Preferred Units, in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the Stated Series A Liquidation Preference with respect to such holder’s Preferred Units, over (2) such holder’s existing Capital
Account balance in respect of such Preferred Units, until the Capital Account balance of each such holder in respect of its Preferred Units is equal to the Stated Series A Liquidation Preference with respect to such holder’s Preferred Units.

 (xi)    Curative Allocation. 

(A)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, other than the Required Allocations, the
Required Allocations shall be taken into account in making the Agreed Allocations so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of items of income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to each Partner pursuant to the Required Allocations and the
Agreed Allocations, together, shall be equal to the net amount of such items that would have been allocated to each such Partner under the Agreed Allocations had the Required Allocations and the related Curative Allocation not otherwise been
provided in this Section 6.1. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Required Allocations relating to (1) Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain and (2)
Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) shall only be made with respect to
Required Allocations to the extent the General Partner determines that such allocations will otherwise be inconsistent with the economic agreement among the Partners. Further, allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) shall be deferred with
respect to allocations pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) hereof to the extent the General Partner determines that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent Required Allocations. 

(B)    The General Partner shall, with respect to each taxable period, (1) apply the provisions of Section
6.1(d)(xi)(A) in whatever order is most likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Required Allocations, and (2) divide all allocations pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) among the Partners in a manner that is
likely to minimize such economic distortions. 

  
 42 








 (xii)    Corrective and Other Allocations. In the
event of any allocation of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items or any Book-Down Event or any recognition of a Net Termination Loss, the following rules shall apply: 

(A)    Except as provided in Section 6.1(d)(xii)(B), in the case of any allocation of Additional Book Basis
Derivative Items (other than an allocation of Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss under Section 5.5(d) hereof) with respect to any Partnership property, the General Partner shall allocate such Additional Book Basis Derivative Items (1) to (aa) the
holders of Incentive Distribution Rights and (bb) the General Partner in the same manner that the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property is allocated pursuant to Section 5.5(d)(i) or Section 5.5(d)(ii) and (2) to all
Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, to the extent that the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property is allocated to any Unitholders holding Common Units pursuant to Section 5.5(d)(i) or Section 5.5(d)(ii). 

(B)    In the case of any allocation of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items (other than an allocation of
Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss under Section 5.5(d)(ii) hereof or an allocation of Net Termination Gain or Net Termination Loss pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof) as a result of a sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset that
is an Adjusted Property (“Disposed of Adjusted Property”), the General Partner shall allocate (1) additional items of income and gain (aa) away from the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights and the General Partner and (bb) to
the Unitholders holding Common Units, or (2) additional items of deduction and loss (aa) away from the Unitholders holding Common Units and (bb) to the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights and the General Partner, to the extent that the
Additional Book Basis Derivative Items allocated to the Unitholders holding Common Units exceed their Share of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items with respect to such Disposed of Adjusted Property. For this purpose, the Unitholders holding
Common Units shall be treated as being allocated Additional Book Basis Derivative Items to the extent that such Additional Book Basis Derivative Items have reduced the amount of income that would otherwise have been allocated to the Unitholders
holding Common Units under this Agreement (e.g., Additional Book Basis Derivative Items taken into account in computing cost of goods sold would reduce the amount of book income otherwise available for allocation among the Partners). Any allocation
made pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xii)(B) shall be made after all of the other Agreed Allocations have been made as if this Section 6.1(d)(xii) were not in this Agreement and, to the extent
necessary, shall require the reallocation of items that have been allocated pursuant to such other Agreed Allocations. 

(C)    In the case of any negative adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the Partners resulting from a
Book-Down Event or from the recognition of a Net Termination Loss, such negative adjustment (1) shall first be allocated, to the extent of the Aggregate Remaining Net Positive Adjustments, in such a manner, as determined by the General Partner, that
to the extent possible the aggregate 

  
 43 








 
Capital Accounts of the Partners will equal the amount that would have been the Capital Account balance of the Partners if no prior Book-Up Events had occurred, and (2) any negative adjustment in
excess of the Aggregate Remaining Net Positive Adjustments shall be allocated pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof. 

(D)    In making the allocations required under this Section 6.1(d)(xii), the General Partner may apply
whatever conventions or other methodology it determines will satisfy the purpose of this Section 6.1(d)(xii). 
  

	Section 6.2	Allocations for Tax Purposes. 

 (a)    Except as otherwise provided
herein, for United States federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated
pursuant to Section 6.1. 
 (b)    In an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed
Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions shall be allocated for United States federal income tax purposes among the Partners as follows: 

(i)    (A) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items attributable thereto shall be allocated among
the Partners in the manner provided under Section 704(c) of the Code that takes into account the variation between the Agreed Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution; and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual
Loss attributable to a Contributed Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1. 

(ii)    (A) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall (1) first, be allocated among the
Partners in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 5.5(d)(i) or 5.5(d)(ii), and
(2) second, in the event such property was originally a Contributed Property, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with Section 6.2(b)(i)(A); and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property
shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1. 

(iii)    The General Partner shall apply the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d) to
eliminate Book-Tax Disparities. 
 (c)    For the proper administration of the Partnership and for the preservation of
uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof), the General Partner shall (i) adopt such conventions as it deems appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions; (ii)
make special allocations for United States federal income tax purposes of income (including, without limitation, gross income) or deductions; and 

  
 44 








 
(iii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (x) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) or Section 704(c) of the Code or (y) otherwise
to preserve or achieve uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof). The General Partner may adopt such conventions, make such allocations and make such amendments to this Agreement as provided in this Section 6.2(c)
only if such conventions, allocations or amendments would not have a material adverse effect on the Partners, the holders of any class or classes of Limited Partner Interests issued and Outstanding or the Partnership, and if such allocations are
consistent with the principles of Section 704 of the Code. 
 (d)    The General Partner may determine to depreciate or
amortize the portion of an adjustment under Section 743(b) of the Code attributable to unrealized appreciation in any Adjusted Property (to the extent of the unamortized Book-Tax Disparity) using a predetermined rate derived from the depreciation or
amortization method and useful life applied to the Partnership’s common basis of such property, despite any inconsistency of such approach with Treasury Regulation Section 1.167(c)-l(a)(6) or any successor regulations thereto. If the General
Partner determines that such reporting position cannot reasonably be taken, the General Partner may adopt depreciation and amortization conventions under which all purchasers acquiring Limited Partner Interests in the same month would receive
depreciation and amortization deductions, based upon the same applicable rate as if they had purchased a direct interest in the Partnership’s property. If the General Partner chooses not to utilize such aggregate method, the General Partner may
use any other depreciation and amortization conventions to preserve the uniformity of the intrinsic tax characteristics of any Limited Partner Interests, so long as such conventions would not have a material adverse effect on the Limited Partners or
the Record Holders of any class or classes of Limited Partner Interests. 
 (e)    Any gain allocated to the Partners
upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset shall, to the extent possible, after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to this Section 6.2, be characterized as Recapture Income in the same
proportions and to the same extent as such Partners (or their predecessors in interest) have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income. 

(f)    All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Partnership for United States federal
income tax purposes and allocated to the Partners in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code that may be made by the Partnership; provided, however, that
such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted (in the manner determined by the General Partner) to take into account those adjustments permitted or required by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code. 

(g)    Each item of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction shall for United States federal income tax purposes, be
determined on an annual basis and prorated on a monthly basis and shall be allocated to the Partners as of the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on the first Business Day of each month; provided, however, such items for the period
beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the month in which the Option Closing Date or the expiration of the Over-Allotment Option occurs shall be allocated to the Partners as of the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on the
first Business Day of the next succeeding 

  
 45 








 
month; and provided, further, that gain or loss on a sale or other disposition of any assets of the Partnership or any other extraordinary item of income or loss realized and recognized other
than in the ordinary course of business, as determined by the General Partner, shall be allocated to the Partners as of the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on the first Business Day of the month in which such gain or loss is recognized for
United States federal income tax purposes. The General Partner may revise, alter or otherwise modify such methods of allocation to the extent permitted or required by Section 706 of the Code and the regulations or rulings promulgated
thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 6.2(g), the guaranteed payments associated with the Series A Distributions shall be included in the income of the Series A Holders as set forth in Section 16.3(a). 

(h)    Allocations that would otherwise be made to a Limited Partner under the provisions of this Article VI shall instead
be made to the beneficial owner of Limited Partner Interests held by a nominee in any case in which the nominee has furnished the identity of such owner to the Partnership in accordance with Section 6031(c) of the Code or any other method determined
by the General Partner. 
  

	Section 6.3	Requirement and Characterization of Distributions; Distributions to Record Holders. 


(a)    Subject to Section 16.3, within 45 days following the end of each Quarter commencing with the Quarter ending on
June 30, 2005, an amount equal to 100% of Available Cash with respect to such Quarter shall, subject to Section 51 of the Marshall Islands Act, be distributed in accordance with this Article VI by the Partnership to the Partners as of the Record
Date selected by the General Partner. All amounts of Available Cash distributed by the Partnership on any date from any source shall be deemed to be Operating Surplus until the sum of all amounts of Available Cash theretofore distributed by the
Partnership to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.4 equals the Operating Surplus from the Closing Date through the close of the immediately preceding Quarter. Any remaining amounts of Available Cash distributed by the Partnership on such date shall,
except as otherwise provided in Section 6.5, be deemed to be “Capital Surplus.” All distributions required to be made under this Agreement shall be made subject to Section 51 of the Marshall Islands Act. This Section 6.3(a) shall not
apply to Series A Preferred Units. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding Section 6.3(a), in the event of the dissolution and
liquidation of the Partnership, all receipts received during or after the Quarter in which the Liquidation Date occurs, other than from borrowings described in (a)(ii) of the definition of Available Cash, shall be applied and distributed solely in
accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 12.4. 
 (c)    The General Partner may treat taxes
paid by the Partnership on behalf of, or amounts withheld with respect to, all or less than all of the Partners, as a distribution of Available Cash to such Partners. 

(d)    Each distribution in respect of a Partnership Interest shall be paid by the Partnership, directly or through the
Transfer Agent or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Partnership Interest as of the Record Date set for such distribution. Such payment 

  
 46 








 
shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Partnership’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by
reason of an assignment or otherwise. 
  

	Section 6.4	Distributions of Available Cash from Operating Surplus. 

 Available Cash with respect to
any Quarter that is deemed to be Operating Surplus pursuant to the provisions of Sections 6.3 or 6.5 shall, subject to Section 51 of the Marshall Islands Act, be distributed as follows (subject to Section 16.3 in respect of Series A Preferred Units
and except as otherwise required by Section 5.6(b) in respect of other Partnership Securities issued pursuant thereto): 

(a)    First, 98% to all Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, and 2% to the General Partner, until there has been
distributed in respect of each Common Unit then Outstanding an amount equal to the Minimum Quarterly Distribution for such Quarter; 

(b)    Second, 98% to all Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, and 2% to the General Partner, until there has been
distributed in respect of each Common Unit then Outstanding an amount equal to the excess of the First Target Distribution over the Minimum Quarterly Distribution for such Quarter; 

(c)    Third, 85% to all Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, 13% to the holders of the Incentive Distribution
Rights, Pro Rata, and 2% to the General Partner, until there has been distributed in respect of each Common Unit then Outstanding an amount equal to the excess of the Second Target Distribution over the First Target Distribution for such Quarter;

 (d)    Fourth, 75% to all Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, 23% to the holders of the Incentive
Distribution Rights, Pro Rata, and 2% to the General Partner, until there has been distributed in respect of each Common Unit then Outstanding an amount equal to the excess of the Third Target Distribution over the Second Target Distribution for
such Quarter; and 
 (e)    Thereafter, 50% to all Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, 48% to the holders of the
Incentive Distribution Rights, Pro Rata, and 2% to the General Partner; 
 provided, however, if the Minimum Quarterly Distribution, the First Target
Distribution, the Second Target Distribution and the Third Target Distribution have been reduced to zero pursuant to the second sentence of Section 6.6(a), the distribution of Available Cash that is deemed to be Operating Surplus with respect to any
Quarter will be made solely in accordance with Section 6.4(e). No distributions shall be made with respect to Series A Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 6.4. 
  

	Section 6.5	Distributions of Available Cash from Capital Surplus. 

 Available Cash that is deemed to
be Capital Surplus pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.3(a) shall, subject to Section 51 of the Marshall Islands Act and Section 16.3 in respect of Series A Preferred Units, be distributed, unless the provisions of Section 6.3 require otherwise,
98% to all Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, and 2% to the General Partner, until a 

  
 47 








 
hypothetical holder of a Common Unit acquired on the Closing Date has received with respect to such Common Unit, during the period since the Closing Date through such date, distributions of
Available Cash that are deemed to be Capital Surplus in an aggregate amount equal to the Initial Unit Price. Thereafter, all Available Cash shall be distributed as if it were Operating Surplus and shall be distributed in accordance with Section 6.4.

  

	Section 6.6	Adjustment of Minimum Quarterly Distribution and Target Distribution Levels. 


(a)    The Minimum Quarterly Distribution, First Target Distribution, Second Target Distribution and Third Target
Distribution shall be proportionately adjusted in the event of any distribution, combination or subdivision (whether effected by a distribution payable in Units or otherwise) of Units or other Partnership Securities in accordance with Section
5.9. In the event of a distribution of Available Cash that is deemed to be from Capital Surplus, the then applicable Minimum Quarterly Distribution, First Target Distribution, Second Target Distribution and Third Target Distribution, shall be
adjusted proportionately downward to equal the product obtained by multiplying the otherwise applicable Minimum Quarterly Distribution, First Target Distribution, Second Target Distribution and Third Target Distribution, as the case may be, by a
fraction of which the numerator is the Unrecovered Capital of the Common Units immediately after giving effect to such distribution and of which the denominator is the Unrecovered Capital of the Common Units immediately prior to giving effect to
such distribution. 
 (b)    The Minimum Quarterly Distribution, First Target Distribution, Second Target Distribution
and Third Target Distribution, shall also be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 6.8. 
  

	Section 6.7	Special Provisions Relating to the Holders of Incentive Distribution Rights. 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights (a) shall (i) possess
the rights and obligations provided in this Agreement with respect to a Limited Partner pursuant to Articles III and VII and (ii) have a Capital Account as a Partner pursuant to Section 5.5 and all other provisions related thereto and (b) shall not
(i) be entitled to vote on any matters requiring the approval or vote of the holders of Outstanding Units, (ii) be entitled to any distributions other than as provided in Section 6.4(c), (d) and (e) , and 12.4 or (iii) be allocated items of
income, gain, loss or deduction other than as specified in this Article VI. 
  

	Section 6.8	Entity-Level Taxation. 

 If legislation is enacted or the interpretation of existing
language is modified by a governmental taxing authority so that a Group Member is treated as an association taxable as a corporation or is otherwise subject to an entity-level tax for federal, state or local income tax purposes, then the General
Partner shall estimate for each Quarter the Partnership Group’s aggregate liability (the “Estimated Incremental Quarterly Tax Amount”) for all such income taxes that are payable by reason of any such new legislation or
interpretation; provided that any difference between such estimate and the actual tax liability for such Quarter that is owed by 

  
 48 








 
reason of any such new legislation or interpretation shall be taken into account in determining the Estimated Incremental Quarterly Tax Amount with respect to each Quarter in which any such
difference can be determined. For each such Quarter, the Minimum Quarterly Distribution, First Target Distribution, Second Target Distribution and Third Target Distribution, shall be the product obtained by multiplying (a) the amounts therefor
that are set out herein prior to the application of this Section 6.8 times (b) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) Available Cash with respect to such Quarter by (ii) the sum of Available Cash with respect to such Quarter and the Estimated
Incremental Quarterly Tax Amount for such Quarter, as determined by the General Partner. For purposes of the foregoing, Available Cash with respect to a Quarter will be deemed reduced by the Estimated Incremental Quarterly Tax Amount for that
Quarter. 
 ARTICLE VII 

MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF BUSINESS

(vi)    the distribution of Partnership cash; 

(vii)    the selection and dismissal of employees (including employees having titles such as
“president,” “vice president,” “secretary” and “treasurer”) and agents, outside attorneys, accountants, consultants and contractors and the determination of their compensation and other terms of employment or
hiring;

and Indemnitees; 
 (ix)    the formation of, or acquisition of an interest in, and the contribution of

Group Member from time to time) subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.4; 
 (x)    the
control of any matters affecting the rights and obligations of the Partnership, including the bringing and defending of actions at law or in equity and otherwise engaging in the conduct of litigation, arbitration or mediation and the incurring of
legal expense and the settlement of claims and litigation; 
 (xi)    the indemnification of any Person
against liabilities and contingencies to the extent permitted by law; 
 (xii)    the entering into of
listing agreements with any National Securities Exchange and the delisting of some or all of the Limited Partner Interests from, or requesting that trading be suspended on, any such exchange (subject to any prior approval that may be required under
Section 4.8); 
 (xiii)    the purchase, sale or other acquisition or disposition of Partnership
Securities (subject to Section 16.6(f)), or the issuance of options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to Partnership Securities;

Affiliates to render services to a Group Member or to itself in the discharge of its duties as General Partner of the Partnership. 

(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, the Marshall Islands Act or any
applicable law, rule or regulation, each of the Partners and each other Person who may acquire an interest in Partnership Securities hereby (i) approves, ratifies and confirms the execution, delivery and performance by the parties thereto of this
Agreement, the Underwriting Agreement, the Omnibus Agreement, the Contribution Agreement, any Group Member Agreement of any other Group Member and the other agreements described in or filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that are related
to the transactions contemplated by the Registration Statement; (ii) agrees that the General Partner (on its own or through any officer of the Partnership) is authorized to execute, deliver and perform the agreements referred to in clause (i) of
this sentence and the other agreements, acts, transactions and matters described in or contemplated by the Registration Statement on behalf of the Partnership without any further act, approval or vote of the Partners or the other Persons who may
acquire an interest in Partnership Securities; and (iii) agrees that the execution, delivery or performance by the General Partner, any Group Member or any Affiliate of any of them of this Agreement or any agreement authorized or permitted under
this Agreement (including the exercise by the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner of the rights accorded pursuant to Article XV) shall not constitute a breach by the General Partner of any duty that the General Partner may owe
the Partnership or the Limited Partners or any other Persons under this Agreement (or any other agreements) or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity. 
  

	Section 7.2	Certificate of Limited Partnership. 

 The General Partner caused the Certificate of
Limited Partnership to be filed with the Registrar of Corporations of the Marshall Islands as required by the Marshall Islands Act. The General Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents
that the General Partner determines to be necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the Marshall Islands
or any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. To the extent the General Partner determines such action to be necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to and restatements of
the Certificate of Limited Partnership and do all things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership or other entity in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the Marshall Islands or of any
other jurisdiction in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 3.4(a), the General Partner shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate of
Limited Partnership, any qualification document or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner. 
  

	Section 7.3	Restrictions on the General Partner’s Authority. 


(a)    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the General Partner may not, without written approval of the
specific act by holders of all of the Outstanding Limited Partner Interests or by other written instrument executed and delivered by holders of all of the 

  
 51 








 
Outstanding Limited Partner Interests subsequent to the date of this Agreement, take any action in contravention of this Agreement, including, (i) committing any act that would make it impossible
to carry on the ordinary business of the Partnership; (ii) possessing Partnership property, or assigning any rights in specific Partnership property, for other than a Partnership purpose; (iii) admitting a Person as a Partner; (iv) amending this
Agreement in any manner; or (v) transferring its interest as a general partner of the Partnership. 
 (b)    Except as
provided in Articles XII and XIV, the General Partner may not sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership Group, taken as a whole, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions
(including by way of merger, consolidation, other combination or sale of ownership interests of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries) without the approval of holders of a Unit Majority; provided, however, that this provision shall not
preclude or limit the General Partner’s ability to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership Group and shall not apply to any forced sale of any or all of the assets
of the Partnership Group pursuant to the foreclosure of, or other realization upon, any such encumbrance. Without the approval of holders of a Unit Majority, the General Partner shall not, on behalf of the Partnership, (i) consent to any amendment
to the Operating Company Agreement or, except as expressly permitted by Section 7.9(e), take any action permitted to be taken by a member of the Operating Company, in either case, that would adversely affect the Limited Partners (including any
particular class of Partnership Interests as compared to any other class of Partnership Interests) in any material respect or (ii) except as permitted under Sections 4.6, 11.1 and 11.2, elect or cause the Partnership to elect a successor general
partner of the Partnership. 
  

	Section 7.4	Reimbursement of the General Partner. 

 (a)    Except as provided in
this Section 7.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as a general partner or managing member of any Group Member. 

(b)    The General Partner shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may
determine, for (i) all direct and indirect expenses it incurs or payments it makes on behalf of the Partnership (including salary, bonus, incentive compensation and other amounts paid to any Person including Affiliates of the General Partner to
perform services for the Partnership or for the General Partner in the discharge of its duties to the Partnership), and (ii) all other expenses allocable to the Partnership or otherwise incurred by the General Partner in connection with operating
the Partnership’s business (including expenses allocated to the General Partner by its Affiliates). The General Partner shall determine the expenses that are allocable to the Partnership. Reimbursements pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be in
addition to any reimbursement to the General Partner as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7. 

(c)    The General Partner, without the approval of the Limited Partners (who shall have no right to vote in respect
thereof), may propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit plans, employee programs and employee practices (including plans, programs and practices involving the issuance of Partnership Securities or options to purchase or rights,
warrants or appreciation rights relating to Partnership Securities), or cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Securities in connection with, or pursuant to, any employee benefit plan, 

  
 52 








 
employee program or employee practice maintained or sponsored by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, in each case for the benefit of employees of the General Partner, any Group Member
or any Affiliate, or any of them, in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership Group. The Partnership agrees to issue and sell to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates any Partnership Securities
that the General Partner or such Affiliates are obligated to provide to any employees pursuant to any such employee benefit plans, employee programs or employee practices. Expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with any such plans,
programs and practices (including the net cost to the General Partner or such Affiliates of Partnership Securities purchased by the General Partner or such Affiliates from the Partnership to fulfill options or awards under such plans, programs and
practices) shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 7.4(b). Any and all obligations of the General Partner under any employee benefit plans, employee programs or employee practices adopted by the General Partner as permitted by this Section
7.4(c) shall constitute obligations of the General Partner hereunder and shall be assumed by any successor General Partner approved pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2 or the transferee of or successor to all of the General Partner’s General
Partner Interest pursuant to Section 4.6. 
  

	Section 7.5	Outside Activities. 

 (a)    After the Closing Date, the General
Partner, for so long as it is the General Partner of the Partnership (i) agrees that its sole business will be to act as a general partner or managing member, as the case may be, of the Partnership and any other partnership or limited liability
company of which the Partnership or the Operating Company is, directly or indirectly, a partner or member and to undertake activities that are ancillary or related thereto (including being a limited partner in the Partnership), (ii) shall not engage
in any business or activity or incur any debts or liabilities except in connection with or incidental to (A) its performance as general partner or managing member, if any, of one or more Group Members or as described in or contemplated by the
Registration Statement or (B) the acquiring, owning or disposing of debt or equity securities in any Group Member and (iii) except to the extent permitted in the Omnibus Agreement, shall not, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates not to, engage
in any Offshore Restricted Business or Crude Oil Restricted Business (as such terms are defined in the Omnibus Agreement). 

(b)    Teekay Corporation and certain of its Affiliates have entered into the Omnibus Agreement, which agreement sets
forth certain restrictions on the ability of Teekay Corporation and its Affiliates to engage in any LNG Restricted Businesses (as such term is defined in the Omnibus Agreement). 

(c)    Except as specifically restricted by Section 7.5(a) or the Omnibus Agreement, each Indemnitee (other than the
General Partner) shall have the right to engage in businesses of every type and description and other activities for profit and to engage in and possess an interest in other business ventures of any and every type or description, whether in
businesses engaged in or anticipated to be engaged in by any Group Member, independently or with others, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the business and activities of any Group Member, and none of the same
shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or any duty expressed or implied by law to any Group Member or any Partner. None of any Group Member, any Limited Partner or any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement, any Group
Member Agreement, or the partnership relationship established hereby in any business ventures of any Indemnitee. 

  
 53 








 (d)    Subject to the terms of Section 7.5(a), Section 7.5(b), Section 7.5(c)
and the Omnibus Agreement, but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the engaging in competitive activities by any Indemnitees (other than the General Partner) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.5
is hereby approved by the Partnership and all Partners, (ii) it shall be deemed not to be a breach of any fiduciary duty or any other obligation of any type whatsoever of the General Partner or of any Indemnitee for the Indemnitees (other than the
General Partner) to engage in such business interests and activities in preference to or to the exclusion of the Partnership and (iii) except as set forth in the Omnibus Agreement, the General Partner and the Indemnitees shall have no obligation
hereunder or as a result of any duty expressed or implied by law to present business opportunities to the Partnership. 

(e)    The General Partner and each of its Affiliates may acquire Units or other Partnership Securities in addition to
those acquired on the Closing Date and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be entitled to exercise, at their option, all rights relating to all Units or other Partnership Securities acquired by them. 

(f)    The term “Affiliates” when used in Section 7.5(a) and Section 7.5(e) with respect to the General Partner
shall not include any Group Member. 
 (g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent
that any provision of this Agreement purports or is interpreted to have the effect of restricting the fiduciary duties that might otherwise, as a result of Marshall Islands law or other applicable law, be owed by the General Partner to the
Partnership and its Limited Partners, or to constitute a waiver or consent by the Limited Partners to any such restriction, such provisions shall be inapplicable and have no effect in determining whether the General Partner has complied with its
fiduciary duties in connection with determinations made by it under this Section 7.5. 
  

	Section 7.6	Loans from the General Partner; Loans or Contributions from the Partnership or Group Members. 


(a)    The General Partner or any of its Affiliates may lend to any Group Member, and any Group Member may borrow from the
General Partner or any of its Affiliates, funds needed or desired by the Group Member for such periods of time and in such amounts as the General Partner may determine; provided, however, that in any such case the lending party may not
charge the borrowing party interest at a rate greater than the rate that would be charged the borrowing party or impose terms less favorable to the borrowing party than would be charged or imposed on the borrowing party by unrelated lenders on
comparable loans made on an arm’s-length basis (without reference to the lending party’s financial abilities or guarantees), all as determined by the General Partner. The borrowing party shall reimburse the lending party for any costs
(other than any additional interest costs) incurred by the lending party in connection with the borrowing of such funds. For purposes of this Section 7.6(a) and Section 7.6(b), the term “Group Member” shall include any Affiliate of a Group
Member that is controlled by the Group Member. 

  
 54 








 (b)    The Partnership may lend or contribute to any Group Member, and any
Group Member may borrow from the Partnership, funds on terms and conditions determined by the General Partner. No Group Member may lend funds to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates (other than another Group Member). 

(c)    No borrowing by any Group Member or the approval thereof by the General Partner shall be deemed to constitute a
breach of any duty, expressed or implied, of the General Partner or its Affiliates to the Partnership or the Limited Partners by reason of the fact that the purpose or effect of such borrowing is directly or indirectly to enable distributions to the
General Partner or its Affiliates (including in their capacities as Limited Partners) to exceed the General Partner’s Percentage Interest of the total amount distributed to all partners. 

 

	Section 7.7	Indemnification. 

 (a)    To the fullest extent permitted by law but
subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, all Indemnitees shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal
fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnitee may be
involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as an Indemnitee; provided, that the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment
entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or
gross negligence or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful; provided, further, no indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be available to the General Partner or its
Affiliates (other than a Group Member) with respect to its or their obligations incurred pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Omnibus Agreement or the Contribution Agreement (other than obligations incurred by the General Partner on behalf of
the Partnership). Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, it being agreed that the General Partner shall not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation
to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Partnership to enable it to effectuate such indemnification. 

(b)    To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who
is indemnified pursuant to Section 7.7(a) in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership prior to a determination that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt
by the Partnership of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 7.7. 

(c)    The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee
may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the holders of Outstanding Limited Partner Interests, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other
capacity 

  
 55 








 
(including any capacity under the Underwriting Agreement), and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors,
assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee. 
 (d)    The Partnership may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the
General Partner or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the General Partner, its Affiliates and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be
incurred by, such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Partnership, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability
under the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (e)    For purposes of this Section 7.7, the Partnership shall be deemed to
have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries
of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 7.7(a); and action taken or omitted by it with respect to any
employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the best interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is in the best interests of the
Partnership. 
 (f)    In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of the
indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement. 
 (g)    An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in
whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement. 

(h)    The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and
administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. 
 (i)    No
amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Partnership, nor the obligations of the
Partnership to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters
occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted. 
  

	Section 7.8	Liability of Indemnitees. 

 (a)    Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership, the Limited Partners or any other Persons who have acquired interests in the Partnership Securities, for losses sustained or


  
 56 








 
liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that,
in respect of the matter in question, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was criminal. 

(b)    Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section 7.1(a), the General Partner may
exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents, and the General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the
part of any such agent appointed by the General Partner in good faith. 
 (c)    To the extent that, at law or in
equity, an Indemnitee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or to the Partners, the General Partner and any other Indemnitee acting in connection with the Partnership’s business or affairs
shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. 

(d)    Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and
shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the Indemnitees under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in
whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted. 
  

	Section 7.9	Resolution of Conflicts of Interest; Standards of Conduct and Modification of Duties. 


(a)    Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Group Member Agreement, whenever a potential conflict
of interest exists or arises between the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Partnership, any Group Member or any Partner, on the other, any resolution or course of action by the General Partner or its Affiliates in
respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Partners, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any Group Member Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein or therein, or of any duty stated
or implied by law or equity, if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved by Special Approval, (ii) approved by the vote of a majority of the Outstanding Common Units (excluding Common Units owned by
the General Partner and its Affiliates), (iii) on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iv) fair and reasonable to the Partnership, taking into account the
totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership). The General Partner shall be authorized but not required in connection with its
resolution of such conflict of interest to seek Special Approval of such resolution, and the General Partner may also adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval. If Special Approval is not sought and the Board
of Directors of the General Partner determines that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (iii) or (iv) above, then it shall be


  
 57 








 
presumed that, in making its decision, the Board of Directors of the General Partner acted in good faith, and in any proceeding brought by any Limited Partner or by or on behalf of such Limited
Partner or any other Limited Partner or the Partnership challenging such approval, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the existence of the conflicts of interest described in the Registration Statement are hereby approved by all Partners.

(b)    Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its
Affiliates causes it to do so, in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership as opposed to in its individual capacity, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise,
then, unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement, the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall make such determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject
to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Marshall Islands Act or any other law, rule or regulation. In order for a determination or other
action to be in “good faith” for purposes of this Agreement, the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action must reasonably believe that the determination or other action is in the best
interests of the Partnership, unless the context otherwise requires.
 (c)    Whenever the General Partner makes a
determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its individual capacity as opposed to in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, whether under this Agreement, any Group
Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, are entitled to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any fiduciary
duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, and the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall not be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any
Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Marshall Islands Act or any other law, rule or regulation. By way of illustration and not of limitation, whenever the phrase, “at the option of the General
Partner,” or some variation of that phrase, is used in this Agreement, it indicates that the General Partner is acting in its individual capacity.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall have no
duty or obligation, express or implied, to (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any asset of the Partnership Group other than in the ordinary course of business or (ii) permit any Group Member to use any facilities or assets of the General Partner and
its Affiliates, except as may be provided in contracts entered into from time to time specifically dealing with such use. Any determination by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates to enter into such contracts shall be at its option.

 (e)    Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall
have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Partnership or any Limited Partner and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties,
of the General Partner or 

  
 58 








 
any other Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of the General Partner or such other
Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, but subject to Section 7.9(c) and without reference to the definition of “good faith” in Section 7.9(b), neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall owe any
fiduciary duties to Series A Holders other than a contractual duty of good faith and fair dealing. 
 (f)    The
Unitholders hereby authorize the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership as a partner or member of a Group Member, to approve of actions by the general partner or managing member of such Group Member similar to those actions permitted to be
taken by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.9. 
  

	Section 7.10	Other Matters Concerning the General Partner. 

 (a)    The General
Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. 
 (b)    The General Partner may consult
with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion (including an Opinion of Counsel) of
such Persons as to matters that the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

 (c)    The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act
through any of its duly authorized officers, a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact or the duly authorized officers of the Partnership. 
  

	Section 7.11	Purchase or Sale of Partnership Securities. 

 Subject to Section 16.6(f), the General
Partner may cause the Partnership to purchase or otherwise acquire Partnership Securities. As long as Partnership Securities are held by any Group Member, such Partnership Securities shall not be considered Outstanding for any purpose, except as
otherwise provided herein. The General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner may also purchase or otherwise acquire and sell or otherwise dispose of Partnership Securities for its own account, subject to the provisions of Articles IV and X
and Section 16.6(f). 
  

	Section 7.12	Registration Rights of the General Partner and its Affiliates. 


(a)    If (i) the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner (including for purposes of this Section 7.12,
any Person that is an Affiliate of the General Partner at the date hereof notwithstanding that it may later cease to be an Affiliate of the General Partner) or any of their assignees holds Partnership Securities that it desires to sell and (ii) Rule
144 of the Securities Act (or any successor rule or regulation to Rule 144) or another exemption from registration is not available to enable such holder of Partnership Securities (the “Holder”) to


  
 59 








 
dispose of the number of Partnership Securities it desires to sell at the time it desires to do so without registration under the Securities Act, then at the option and upon the request of the
Holder, the Partnership shall file with the Commission as promptly as practicable after receiving such request, and use all reasonable efforts to cause to become effective and remain effective for a period of not less than six months following its
effective date or such shorter period as shall terminate when all Partnership Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold, a registration statement under the Securities Act registering the offering and sale of the number of
Partnership Securities specified by the Holder; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be required to effect more than three registrations pursuant to this Section 7.12(a); and provided further, however, that if the
Conflicts Committee determines that a postponement of the requested registration for up to six months would be in the best interests of the Partnership and its Partners due to a pending transaction, investigation or other event, the filing of such
registration statement or the effectiveness thereof may be deferred for up to six months, but not thereafter. In connection with any registration pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Partnership shall (i) promptly prepare and file (A)
such documents as may be necessary to register or qualify the securities subject to such registration under the securities laws of such states as the Holder shall reasonably request; provided, however, that no such qualification shall
be required in any jurisdiction where, as a result thereof, the Partnership would become subject to general service of process or to taxation or qualification to do business as a foreign corporation or partnership doing business in such jurisdiction
solely as a result of such registration, and (B) such documents as may be necessary to apply for listing or to list the Partnership Securities subject to such registration on such National Securities Exchange as the Holder shall reasonably request,
and (ii) do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Holder to consummate a public sale of such Partnership Securities in such states. Except as set forth in Section 7.12(c), all costs and expenses of any
such registration and offering (other than the underwriting discounts and commissions) shall be paid by the Partnership, without reimbursement by the Holder. 

(b)    If the Partnership shall at any time propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act for an
offering of equity securities of the Partnership for cash (other than an offering relating solely to an employee benefit plan), the Partnership shall use all reasonable efforts to include such number or amount of securities held by the Holder in
such registration statement as the Holder shall request; provided, that the Partnership is not required to make any effort or take any action to so include the securities of the Holder once the registration statement is declared effective by the
Commission, including any registration statement providing for the offering from time to time of securities pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act. If the proposed offering pursuant to this Section 7.12(b) shall be an underwritten offering,
then, in the event that the managing underwriter or managing underwriters of such offering advise the Partnership and the Holder in writing that in their opinion the inclusion of all or some of the Holder’s Partnership Securities would
adversely and materially affect the success of the offering, the Partnership shall include in such offering only that number or amount, if any, of securities held by the Holder that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or managing
underwriters, will not so adversely and materially affect the offering. Except as set forth in Section 7.12(c), all costs and expenses of any such registration and offering (other than the underwriting discounts and commissions) shall be paid by the
Partnership, without reimbursement by the Holder. 

  
 60 








 (c)    If underwriters are engaged in connection with any registration
referred to in this Section 7.12, the Partnership shall provide indemnification, representations, covenants, opinions and other assurance to the underwriters in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such underwriters. Further, in addition to
and not in limitation of the Partnership’s obligation under Section 7.7, the Partnership shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, its officers, directors and each Person who controls the Holder
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any agent thereof (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”) against any losses, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, assessments, damages, liabilities (joint or several), costs and
expenses (including interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by the Indemnified Persons, directly or indirectly, under the Securities Act or otherwise (hereinafter referred
to in this Section 7.12(c) as a “claim” and in the plural as “claims”) based upon, arising out of or resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration
statement under which any Partnership Securities were registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or Blue Sky laws, in any preliminary prospectus (if used prior to the effective date of such registration statement), or in any summary
or final prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (if used during the period the Partnership is required to keep the registration statement current), or arising out of, based upon or resulting from the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person to the extent that any
such claim arises out of, is based upon or results from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, such preliminary, summary or final prospectus or such amendment or
supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person specifically for use in the preparation thereof. 

(d)    The provisions of Section 7.12(a) and Section 7.12(b) shall continue to be applicable with respect to the General
Partner (and any of the General Partner’s Affiliates and any of the General Partner’s or its Affiliates’ assignees) after it ceases to be a Partner of the Partnership, during a period of two years subsequent to the effective date of
such cessation and for so long thereafter as is required for the Holder to sell all of the Partnership Securities with respect to which it has requested during such two-year period inclusion in a registration statement otherwise filed or that a
registration statement be filed; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be required to file successive registration statements covering the same Partnership Securities for which registration was demanded during such two-year
period. The provisions of Section 7.12(c) shall continue in effect thereafter. 
 (e)    Any request to register
Partnership Securities pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall (i) specify the Partnership Securities intended to be offered and sold by the Person making the request, (ii) express such Person’s present intent to offer such Partnership Securities
for distribution, (iii) describe the nature or method of the proposed offer and sale of Partnership Securities, and (iv) contain the undertaking of such Person to provide all such information and materials and take all action as may be required in
order to permit the Partnership to comply with all applicable requirements in connection with the registration of such Partnership Securities.

	Section 7.13	Reliance by Third Parties. 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner and any officer of the General Partner authorized by the General Partner to act on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership has full power and authority
to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any authorized contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner or any such officer as
if it were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action
of the General Partner or any such officer in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or any such officer or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have
been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the General Partner or any such officer or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership
by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (a) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this
Agreement was in full force and effect, (b) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership and (c) such certificate, document or instrument
was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership. 

ARTICLE VIII

120 days after the close of each fiscal year of the Partnership, the General Partner shall cause to be mailed or made available to each Record Holder of a Unit as of a date selected by the General Partner, an annual report containing financial
statements of the Partnership for such fiscal year of the Partnership, presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including a balance sheet and statements of operations, Partnership equity and cash flows, such statements to be audited by a firm of
independent public accountants selected by the General Partner. 
 (b)    As soon as practicable, but in no event later
than 90 days after the close of each Quarter except the last Quarter of each fiscal year, the General Partner shall cause to be mailed or made available to each Record Holder of a Unit, as of a date selected by the General Partner, a report
containing unaudited financial statements of the Partnership and such other information as may be required by applicable law, regulation or rule of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed, or as the General Partner determines
to be necessary or appropriate. 
 ARTICLE IX 

TAX MATTERS 
  

	Section 9.1	Tax Returns and Information. 

 The Partnership shall timely file all returns of the
Partnership that are required for foreign, federal, state and local income tax purposes on the basis of the accrual method and a taxable year ending on December 31. The tax information reasonably required by Record Holders for federal and state
income tax reporting purposes with respect to a taxable year shall be furnished to them within 90 days of the close of the calendar year in which the Partnership’s taxable year ends. The classification, realization and recognition of income,
gain, losses and deductions and other items shall be on the accrual method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. 
  

	Section 9.2	Tax Elections. 

 (a)    The Partnership shall make the election
under Section 754 of the Code in accordance with applicable regulations thereunder, subject to the reservation of the right to seek to revoke any such election upon the General Partner’s determination that such revocation is in the best
interests of the Limited Partners. Notwithstanding any other provision herein contained, for the purposes of computing the adjustments under Section 743(b) of the Code, the General Partner shall be authorized (but not required) to adopt a convention
whereby the price paid by a transferee of a Limited Partner Interest will be deemed to be the lowest quoted closing price of the Limited Partner Interests on any National Securities Exchange on which such Limited Partner Interests are listed during
the calendar month in which such transfer is deemed to occur pursuant to Section 6.2(g) without regard to the actual price paid by such transferee. 

(b)    Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall determine whether the Partnership should make any
other elections permitted by the Code. 

  
 63 









	Section 9.3	Tax Controversies. 

 Subject to the provisions hereof, the General Partner is designated
as the Tax Matters Partner (as defined in the Code) and is authorized and required to represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including
resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. Each Partner agrees to cooperate with the General Partner and to do or refrain from doing any or all things
reasonably required by the General Partner to conduct such proceedings. 
  

	Section 9.4	Withholding. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General
Partner is authorized to take any action that may be required to cause the Partnership and other Group Members to comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code or any other federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 and 1446 of the Code. To the extent that the Partnership is required or elects to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the allocation or distribution of income to
any Partner (including, without limitation, by reason of Section 1446 of the Code), the General Partner may treat the amount withheld as a distribution of cash pursuant to Section 6.3 in the amount of such withholding from such Partner. 

 

	Section 9.5	Conduct of Operations. 

 The General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to conduct the business of the Partnership and its Affiliates in a manner that does not require a holder of Common Units or Series A Preferred Units to file a tax return in any jurisdiction with which the holder has no contact other than through
ownership of Common Units or Series A Preferred Units. For greater certainty, the General Partner shall conduct the affairs and governance of the Partnership so that the General Partner and the Partnership are not residents of Canada for purposes of
Canada’s tax legislation and neither the General Partner not the Partnership is carrying on business in Canada for purposes of such legislation. 

ARTICLE X 
 ADMISSION OF
PARTNERS 
  

	Section 10.1	Admission of Initial Limited Partners. 

 Upon the issuance by the Partnership of
Partnership Securities to the General Partner, Teekay Corporation and the Underwriters as described in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 in connection with the Initial Offering, the General Partner admitted such parties to the Partnership as Initial Limited
Partners in respect of the Partnership Securities issued to them. 

  
 64 









	Section 10.2	Admission of Additional Limited Partners. 

 (a)    By acceptance of
the transfer of any Limited Partner Interests in accordance with Article IV or the acceptance of any Limited Partner Interests issued pursuant to Article V or pursuant to a merger or consolidation pursuant to Article XIV, each transferee of, or
other such Person acquiring, a Limited Partner Interest (including any nominee holder or an agent or representative acquiring such Limited Partner Interests for the account of another Person) (i) shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited
Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interests so transferred or issued to such Person when any such transfer, issuance or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Partnership and such Limited Partner becomes the Record Holder
of the Limited Partner Interests so transferred, (ii) shall become bound by the terms of this Agreement, (iii) represents that the transferee has the capacity, power and authority to enter into this Agreement, (iv) grants the powers of attorney set
forth in this Agreement and (v) makes the consents and waivers contained in this Agreement, all with or without execution of this Agreement by such Person. The transfer of any Limited Partner Interests and the admission of any new Limited Partner
shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement. A Person may become a Limited Partner or Record Holder of a Limited Partner Interest without the consent or approval of any of the Partners. A Person may not become a Limited Partner until such
Person acquires a Limited Partner Interest and such Person is reflected in the books and records of the Partnership as the Record Holder of such Limited Partner Interest. 

(b)    The name and mailing address of each Limited Partner shall be listed on the books and records of the Partnership
maintained for such purpose by the Partnership or the Transfer Agent. The General Partner shall update the books and records of the Partnership from time to time as necessary to reflect accurately the information therein (or shall cause the Transfer
Agent to do so, as applicable). A Limited Partner Interest may be represented by a Certificate, as provided in Section 4.1 hereof. 

(c)    Any transfer of a Limited Partner Interest shall not entitle the transferee to receive distributions or to any
other rights to which the transferor was entitled until the transferee becomes a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 10.1(a). 
  

	Section 10.3	Admission of Successor General Partner. 

 A successor General Partner approved pursuant
to Section 11.1 or 11.2 or the transferee of or successor to all of the General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 4.6 who is proposed to be admitted as a successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner,
effective immediately prior to the withdrawal or removal of the predecessor or transferring General Partner, pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2 or the transfer of the General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 4.6, provided, however, that no
such successor shall be admitted to the Partnership until compliance with the terms of Section 4.6 has occurred and such successor has executed and delivered such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect such admission. Any such
successor shall, subject to the terms hereof, carry on the business of the members of the Partnership Group without dissolution. 

  
 65 









	Section 10.4	Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership. 

 To effect the admission
to the Partnership of any Partner, the General Partner shall take all steps necessary or appropriate under the Marshall Islands Act to amend the records of the Partnership to reflect such admission and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as
practicable an amendment to this Agreement and, if required by law, the General Partner shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership and the General Partner may for this purpose, among others, exercise the power of
attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.6. 
 ARTICLE XI 

WITHDRAWAL OR REMOVAL OF PARTNERS 
  

	Section 11.1	Withdrawal of the General Partner. 

 (a)    The General Partner
shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the Partnership upon the occurrence of any one of the following events (each such event herein referred to as an “Event of Withdrawal”); 

(i)    The General Partner voluntarily withdraws from the Partnership by giving written notice to the other
Partners; 
 (ii)    The General Partner transfers all of its rights as General Partner pursuant to
Section 4.6; 
 (iii)    The General Partner is removed pursuant to Section 11.2; 

(iv)    The General Partner (A) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) files a
voluntary petition in bankruptcy; (C) files a petition or answer seeking for itself a liquidation, dissolution or similar relief (but not a reorganization) under any law; (D) files an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the
material allegations of a petition filed against the General Partner in a proceeding of the type described in clauses (A)-(B) of this Section 11.1(a)(iv); or (E) seeks, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or
liquidator of the General Partner or of all or any substantial part of its properties; 
 (v)    The
General Partner is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or has entered against him or her an order for relief in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; 

(vi)    (A) in the case of a general partner that is a corporation, the filing of a certificate of
dissolution, or its equivalent, for the corporation or the revocation of its charter and the expiration of ninety (90) days after the date of notice to the corporation of revocation without a reinstatement of its charter; (B) in the event the
General Partner is a partnership or a limited liability company, the dissolution and commencement of winding up of the General Partner; (C) in the event the General Partner is acting in such capacity by virtue of being a trustee of a trust, the
termination of the trust; (D) in the event the General Partner is a natural person, his death or adjudication of incompetency; and (E) otherwise in the event of the termination of the General Partner. 

  
 66 








 If an Event of Withdrawal specified in Section 11.1(a)(iv), or Section 11.1(a)(vi)(A), (B), or (D) occurs, the
withdrawing General Partner shall give notice to the Limited Partners within 30 days after such occurrence. The Partners hereby agree that only the Events of Withdrawal described in this Section 11.1 shall result in the withdrawal of the General
Partner from the Partnership. 
 (b)    Withdrawal of the General Partner from the Partnership upon the occurrence of an
Event of Withdrawal shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances: (i) the General Partner voluntarily withdraws by giving at least 90 days’ advance notice to the Unitholders, such withdrawal to take effect
on the date specified in such notice; or (ii) at any time that the General Partner ceases to be the General Partner pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii) or is removed pursuant to Section 11.2. The withdrawal of the General Partner from the
Partnership upon the occurrence of an Event of Withdrawal shall also constitute the withdrawal of the General Partner as general partner or managing member, if any, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members. If the General Partner
gives a notice of withdrawal pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), the holders of a Unit Majority, may, prior to the effective date of such withdrawal, elect a successor General Partner. The Person so elected as successor General Partner shall
automatically become the successor general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. If, prior to the effective date of the General
Partner’s withdrawal, a successor is not selected by the Unitholders as provided herein the Partnership shall be dissolved in accordance with Section 12.1. Any successor General Partner elected in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.1
shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.3. 
  

	Section 11.2	Removal of the General Partner. 

 The General Partner may be removed if such removal is
approved by the Unitholders holding at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Units (including Units held by the General Partner and its Affiliates voting as a single class). Any such action by such holders for removal of the General Partner must
also provide for the election of a successor General Partner by the Unitholders holding a Unit Majority (including Units held by the General Partner and its Affiliates). Such removal shall be effective immediately following the admission of a
successor General Partner pursuant to Section 10.3. The removal of the General Partner shall also automatically constitute the removal of the General Partner as general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members
of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. If a Person is elected as a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2, such Person shall, upon admission pursuant to Section 10.3,
automatically become a successor general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. The right of the holders of Outstanding Units to remove
the General Partner shall not exist or be exercised unless the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel that such removal (following the selection of the successor General Partner) would not result in the loss of the limited liability of any
Limited Partner or any Group Member or cause any Group Member to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for United States federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or
taxed). Any successor General Partner elected in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.3. 

  
 67 









	Section 11.3	Interest of Departing Partner and Successor General Partner. 


(a)    In the event of (i) withdrawal of the General Partner under circumstances where such withdrawal does not violate
this Agreement or (ii) removal of the General Partner by the holders of Outstanding Units under circumstances where Cause does not exist, if the successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or 11.2, the Departing
Partner shall have the option, exercisable prior to the effective date of the departure of such Departing Partner, to require its successor to purchase its General Partner Interest and its general partner interest (or equivalent interest), if any,
in the other Group Members and all of its Incentive Distribution Rights (collectively, the “Combined Interest”) in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such Combined Interest, such amount to be determined
and payable as of the effective date of its departure. If the General Partner is removed by the Unitholders under circumstances where Cause exists or if the General Partner withdraws under circumstances where such withdrawal violates this Agreement,
and if a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or 11.2 (or if the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2 and the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner),
such successor shall have the option, exercisable prior to the effective date of the departure of such Departing Partner (or, in the event the business of the Partnership is continued, prior to the date the business of the Partnership is continued),
to purchase the Combined Interest for such fair market value of such Combined Interest of the Departing Partner. In either event, the Departing Partner shall be entitled to receive all reimbursements due such Departing Partner pursuant to Section
7.4, including any employee-related liabilities (including severance liabilities), incurred in connection with the termination of any employees employed by the Departing Partner for the benefit of the Partnership or the other Group Members. 

For purposes of this Section 11.3(a), the fair market value of the Departing Partner’s Combined Interest shall be determined by agreement
between the Departing Partner and its successor or, failing agreement within 30 days after the effective date of such Departing Partner’s departure, by an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert selected by the Departing
Partner and its successor, which, in turn, may rely on other experts, and the determination of which shall be conclusive as to such matter. If such parties cannot agree upon one independent investment banking firm or other independent expert within
45 days after the effective date of such departure, then the Departing Partner shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, the Departing Partner’s successor shall designate an independent investment
banking firm or other independent expert, and such firms or experts shall mutually select a third independent investment banking firm or independent expert, which third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert shall determine
the fair market value of the Combined Interest of the Departing Partner. In making its determination, such third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert may consider the then current trading price of Units on any National
Securities Exchange on which Units are then listed, the value of the Partnership’s assets, the rights and obligations of the Departing Partner and other factors it may deem relevant. 

  
 68 








 (b)    If the Combined Interest is not purchased in the manner set forth in
Section 11.3(a), the Departing Partner (or its transferee) shall become a Limited Partner and its Combined Interest shall be converted into Common Units pursuant to a valuation made by an investment banking firm or other independent expert selected
pursuant to Section 11.3(a), without reduction in such Partnership Interest (but subject to proportionate dilution by reason of the admission of its successor). Any successor General Partner shall indemnify the Departing Partner (or its transferee)
as to all debts and liabilities of the Partnership arising on or after the date on which the Departing Partner (or its transferee) becomes a Limited Partner. For purposes of this Agreement, conversion of the Combined Interest of the Departing
Partner to Common Units will be characterized as if the Departing Partner (or its transferee) contributed its Combined Interest to the Partnership in exchange for the newly issued Common Units. 

(c)    If a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or 11.2 (or if the business
of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2 and the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner) and the option described in Section 11.3(a) is not exercised by the party entitled to do so, the successor General Partner
shall, at the effective date of its admission to the Partnership, contribute to the Partnership cash in the amount equal to 2/98ths of the Net Agreed Value of the Partnership’s assets on such date. In such event, such successor General Partner
shall, subject to the following sentence, be entitled to 2% of all Partnership allocations and distributions to which the Departing Partner was entitled. In addition, the successor General Partner shall cause this Agreement to be amended to reflect
that, from and after the date of such successor General Partner’s admission, the successor General Partner’s interest in all Partnership distributions and allocations shall be 2%. 

 

	Section 11.4	Withdrawal of Limited Partners. 

 No Limited Partner shall have any right to withdraw
from the Partnership; provided, however, that when a transferee of a Limited Partner’s Limited Partner Interest becomes a Record Holder of the Limited Partner Interest so transferred, such transferring Limited Partner shall cease to be a
Limited Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interest so transferred. 
 ARTICLE XII 

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION 
  

	Section 12.1	Dissolution. 

 The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional
Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the removal or withdrawal of the General Partner, if a successor General Partner is elected pursuant to Sections 11.1 or 11.2,
the Partnership shall not be dissolved and such successor General Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall dissolve, and (subject to Section 12.2) its affairs shall be wound up, upon: 

(a)    an election to dissolve the Partnership by the General Partner that is approved by the holders of a Unit Majority;


  
 69 








 (b)    the sale of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of
the Partnership Group; 
 (c)    the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the
provisions of the Marshall Islands Act; or 
 (d)    an Event of Withdrawal of the General Partner as provided in
Section 11.1(a) (other than Section 11.1(a)(ii)), unless a successor is elected and, if applicable, an Opinion of Counsel is received as provided in Section 11.2 and such successor is admitted to the Partnership pursuant to Section 10.3. 

 

	Section 12.2	Continuation of the Business of the Partnership After Dissolution. 

 Upon (a)
dissolution of the Partnership following an Event of Withdrawal caused by the withdrawal or removal of the General Partner as provided in Sections 11.1(a)(i) or 11.1(a)(iii) and the failure of the Partners to select a successor to such Departing
Partner pursuant to Sections 11.1 or 11.2, then within 90 days thereafter, or (b) dissolution of the Partnership upon an event constituting an Event of Withdrawal as defined in Sections 11.1(a)(iv) or 11.1(a)(vi), then, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, within 180 days thereafter, the holders of a Unit Majority may elect to continue the business of the Partnership on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement by appointing as a successor General Partner a Person
approved by the holders of a Unit Majority. Unless such an election is made within the applicable time period as set forth above, the Partnership shall conduct only activities necessary to wind up its affairs. If such an election is so made, then:

 (i)    the Partnership shall continue without dissolution unless earlier dissolved in accordance with
this Article XII; 
 (ii)    if the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner, then the
interest of the former General Partner shall be treated in the manner provided in Section 11.3; and 

(iii)    the successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as General Partner, effective
as of the Event of Withdrawal, by agreeing in writing to be bound by this Agreement; provided, that the right of the holders of a Unit Majority to approve a successor General Partner and to reconstitute and to continue the business of the
Partnership shall not exist and may not be exercised unless the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel that (x) the exercise of the right would not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner and (y) neither the
Partnership, the reconstituted limited partnership nor any Group Member would be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise be taxable as an entity for United States federal income tax purposes upon the exercise of such right to
continue (to the extent not already so treated or taxed). 

  
 70 









	Section 12.3	Liquidator. 

 Upon dissolution of the Partnership, unless the business of the
Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2, the General Partner shall select one or more Persons to act as Liquidator. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may
be approved by holders of a Unit Majority. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall agree not to resign at any time without 15 days’ prior notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal
approved by holders of a Unit Majority. Upon dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) shall within 30 days
thereafter be approved by holders of a Unit Majority. The right to approve a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator approved in the manner herein
provided. Except as expressly provided in this Article XII, the Liquidator approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon
the General Partner under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, other than the limitation on sale set forth in Section 7.3(b)) necessary or
appropriate to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during the period of time required to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Partnership as provided for herein. 

 

	Section 12.4	Liquidation. 

 The Liquidator shall proceed to dispose of the assets of the Partnership,
discharge its liabilities, and otherwise wind up its affairs in such manner and over such period as determined by the Liquidator, subject to Section 60 of the Marshall Islands Act and the following: 

(a)    The assets may be disposed of by public or private sale or by distribution in kind to one or more Partners on such
terms as the Liquidator and such Partner or Partners may agree. If any property is distributed in kind, the Partner receiving the property shall be deemed for purposes of Section 12.4(c) to have received cash equal to its fair market value; and
contemporaneously therewith, appropriate cash distributions must be made to the other Partners. The Liquidator may defer liquidation or distribution of the Partnership’s assets for a reasonable time if it determines that an immediate sale or
distribution of all or some of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners. The Liquidator may distribute the Partnership’s assets, in whole or in part, in kind if it determines that a sale would
be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners. 
 (b)    Liabilities of the Partnership include amounts owed
to the Liquidator as compensation for serving in such capacity (subject to the terms of Section 12.3) and amounts to Partners otherwise than in respect of their distribution rights under Article VI and XVI, as applicable. With respect to any
liability that is contingent, conditional or unmatured or is otherwise not yet due and payable, the Liquidator shall either settle such claim for such amount as it thinks appropriate or establish a reserve of cash or other assets to provide for its
payment. When paid, any unused portion of the reserve shall be distributed as additional liquidation proceeds. 

  
 71 








 (c)    All property and all cash in excess of that required to discharge
liabilities as provided in Section 12.4(b) shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with, and to the extent of, the positive balances in their respective Capital Accounts, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account
adjustments (other than those made by reason of distributions pursuant to this Section 12.4(c)) for the taxable year of the Partnership during which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs (with such date of occurrence being determined pursuant to
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g)), and such distribution shall be made by the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after said date of such occurrence); provided that any accumulated and unpaid Series A Distributions
shall be paid prior to the making of any other distributions pursuant to this Section 12.4(c). 
  

	Section 12.5	Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership. 

 Upon the completion of the
distribution of Partnership cash and property as provided in Section 12.4 in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership, the Certificate of Limited Partnership and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in
jurisdictions other than the Marshall Islands shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken. 
  

	Section 12.6	Return of Contributions. 

 The General Partner shall not be personally liable for, and
shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Partnership to enable it to effectuate, the return of the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners or Unitholders, or any portion thereof, it being expressly
understood that any such return shall be made solely from Partnership assets. 
  

	Section 12.7	Waiver of Partition. 

 To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Partner hereby
waives any right to partition of the Partnership property. 
  

	Section 12.8	Capital Account Restoration. 

 No Limited Partner shall have any obligation to restore
any negative balance in its Capital Account upon liquidation of the Partnership. The General Partner shall be obligated to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account upon liquidation of its interest in the Partnership by the end of the

ARTICLE XIII 
 AMENDMENT
OF PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT; MEETINGS; RECORD DATE 
  

	Section 13.1	Amendments to be Adopted Solely by the General Partner. 

 Each Partner agrees that the
General Partner, without the approval of any Partner, may amend any provision of this Agreement and execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record whatever documents may be required in connection therewith, to reflect: 

  
 72 








 (a)    a change in the name of the Partnership, the location of the principal
place of business of the Partnership, the registered agent of the Partnership or the registered office of the Partnership; 

(b)    admission, substitution, withdrawal or removal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement; 

(c)    a change that the General Partner determines to be necessary or appropriate to qualify or continue the
qualification of the Partnership as a limited partnership or a partnership in which the Limited Partners have limited liability under the laws of the Marshall Islands or to ensure that the Group Members will not be treated as associations taxable as
corporations or otherwise taxed as entities for Marshall Islands income tax purposes; 
 (d)    subject to Section 16.5,
to the extent applicable, a change that the General Partner determines, (i) does not adversely affect the Limited Partners (including any particular class or series of Partnership Interests as compared to other classes or series of Partnership
Interests) in any material respect, (ii) to be necessary or appropriate to (A) satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any Marshall Islands authority (including the
Marshall Islands Act) or (B) facilitate the trading of the Units (including the division of any class, classes or series of Outstanding Units into different classes to facilitate uniformity of tax consequences within such classes or series of Units)
or comply with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are or will be listed, (iii) to be necessary or appropriate in connection with action taken by the General Partner pursuant to
Section 5.9 or (iv) is required to effect the intent expressed in the Registration Statement or the intent of the provisions of this Agreement or is otherwise contemplated by this Agreement; 

(e)    a change in the fiscal year or taxable year of the Partnership and any other changes that the General Partner

necessary, in the Opinion of Counsel, to prevent the Partnership, or the General Partner or its directors, officers, trustees or agents from in any manner being subjected to the provisions of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the
U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or “plan asset” regulations adopted under the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, regardless of whether such are substantially similar to plan asset
regulations currently applied or proposed by the United States Department of Labor; 
 (g)    subject to Section 16.5,
an amendment that the General Partner determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the authorization of issuance of any class or series of Partnership Securities pursuant to Section 5.6; 

(h)    any amendment expressly permitted in this Agreement to be made by the General Partner acting alone; 

  
 73 








 (i)    an amendment that the General Partner determines to be necessary or
appropriate to reflect and account for the formation by the Partnership of, or investment by the Partnership in, any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other entity, in connection with the conduct by the
Partnership of activities permitted by the terms of Section 2.4; or 
 (j)    any other amendments substantially similar
to the foregoing. 
  

	Section 13.2	Amendment Procedures. 

 Except as provided in Sections 13.1 and 13.3, all amendments to
this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the following requirements. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed only by the General Partner; provided, however, that the General Partner shall have no duty or obligation to propose
any amendment to this Agreement and may decline to do so free of any fiduciary duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership, any Limited Partner and, in declining to propose an amendment, shall not be required to act in good faith or pursuant to
any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Marshall Islands Act or any other law, rule or regulation. Subject to Section 16.5, to the extent applicable, a
proposed amendment shall be effective upon its approval by the General Partner and the holders of a Unit Majority, unless a greater or different percentage is required under this Agreement or by the Marshall Islands Act. Each proposed amendment
that requires the approval of the holders of a specified percentage of Outstanding Units shall be set forth in a writing that contains the text of the proposed amendment. If such an amendment is proposed, the General Partner shall seek the written
approval of the requisite percentage of Outstanding Units or call a meeting of the Unitholders to consider and vote on such proposed amendment. The General Partner shall notify all Record Holders upon final adoption of any such proposed amendments.

  

	Section 13.3	Amendment Requirements. 

 (a)    Notwithstanding the provisions of
Sections 13.1 and 13.2, no provision of this Agreement that establishes a percentage of Outstanding Units (including Units deemed owned by the General Partner) required to take any action shall be amended, altered, changed, repealed or rescinded in
any respect that would have the effect of reducing such voting percentage unless such amendment is approved by the written consent or the affirmative vote of holders of Outstanding Units whose aggregate Outstanding Units constitute not less than the
voting requirement sought to be reduced. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 13.1 and 13.2, no
amendment to this Agreement may (i) enlarge the obligations of any Limited Partner without its consent, unless such shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of an amendment approved pursuant to Section 13.3(c), (ii) enlarge the obligations of,
restrict in any way any action by or rights of, or reduce in any way the amounts distributable, reimbursable or otherwise payable to, the General Partner or any of its Affiliates without its consent, which consent may be given or withheld at its
option, (iii) change Section 12.1(a), or (iv) change the term of the Partnership or, except as set forth in Section 12.1(a), give any Person the right to dissolve the Partnership. 

  
 74 








 (c)    Except as provided in Section 14.3 and subject to Section 16.5(c)(i)
with respect to Series A Preferred Units, and without limitation of the General Partner’s authority to adopt amendments to this Agreement without the approval of any Partners as contemplated in Section 13.1, any amendment that would have a
material adverse effect on the rights or preferences of any class or series of Partnership Interests in relation to other classes or series of Partnership Interests must be approved by the holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding
Partnership Interests of the class or series affected. 
 (d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
except for amendments pursuant to Section 13.1 and except as otherwise provided in Section 14.3(b), no amendments shall become effective without the approval of the holders of at least 90% of the Outstanding Units voting as a single class unless the
Partnership obtains an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not affect the limited liability of any Limited Partner under applicable law. 

(e)    Except as provided in Section 13.1, this Section 13.3 shall only be amended with the approval of the holders of at
least 90% of the Outstanding Units. 
  

	Section 13.4	Special Meetings. 

 All acts of Limited Partners to be taken pursuant to this Agreement
shall be taken in the manner provided in this Article XIII. Special meetings of the Limited Partners may be called by the General Partner or by Limited Partners owning 20% or more of the Outstanding Units of the class, classes or series for
which a meeting is proposed. Limited Partners shall call a special meeting by delivering to the General Partner one or more requests in writing stating that the signing Limited Partners wish to call a special meeting and indicating the general or
specific purposes for which the special meeting is to be called. Within 60 days after receipt of such a call from Limited Partners or within such greater time as may be reasonably necessary for the Partnership to comply with any statutes, rules,
regulations, listing agreements or similar requirements governing the holding of a meeting or the solicitation of proxies for use at such a meeting, the General Partner shall send a notice of the meeting to the Limited Partners either directly or
indirectly through the Transfer Agent. A meeting shall be held at a time and place determined by the General Partner on a date not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days after the mailing of notice of the meeting. Limited Partners shall not vote on
matters that would cause the Limited Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management and control of the business and affairs of the Partnership so as to jeopardize the Limited Partners’ limited liability under the Marshall Islands Act
or the law of any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership is qualified to do business. 
  

	Section 13.5	Notice of a Meeting. 

 Notice of a meeting called pursuant to Section 13.4 shall be
given to the Record Holders of the class, classes or series of Units for which a meeting is proposed in writing by mail or other means of written communication in accordance with Section 17.1. The notice shall be deemed to have been given at
the time when deposited in the mail or sent by other means of written communication. 

  
 75 









	Section 13.6	Record Date. 

 For purposes of determining the Limited Partners entitled to notice of or
to vote at a meeting of the Limited Partners or to give approvals without a meeting as provided in Section 13.11 the General Partner may set a Record Date, which shall not be less than 10 nor more than 60 days before (a) the date of the meeting
(unless such requirement conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed for trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such exchange shall
govern) or (b) in the event that approvals are sought without a meeting, the date by which Limited Partners are requested in writing by the General Partner to give such approvals. 

 

	Section 13.7	Adjournment. 

 When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be
given of the adjourned meeting and a new Record Date need not be fixed, if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless such adjournment shall be for more than 45 days. At the adjourned meeting,
the Partnership may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 45 days or if a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be
given in accordance with this Article XIII. 
  

	Section 13.8	Waiver of Notice; Approval of Meeting; Approval of Minutes. 

 The transactions of any
meeting of Limited Partners, however called and noticed, and whenever held, shall be as valid as if it had occurred at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or
after the meeting, Limited Partners representing such quorum who were present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, sign a written waiver of notice or an approval of the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All waivers
and approvals shall be filed with the Partnership records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance of a Limited Partner at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when the Limited Partner attends the
meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to
disapprove the consideration of matters required to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if the disapproval is expressly made at the meeting. 
  

	Section 13.9	Quorum and Voting. 

 The holders of a majority of the Units of the class, classes or
series for which a meeting has been called (including Outstanding Units deemed owned by the General Partner) represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Limited Partners of such class, classes or series unless any
such action by the Limited Partners requires approval by holders of a greater percentage of such Units, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage. At any meeting of the Limited Partners duly called and held in accordance with this
Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of Limited Partners holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent a majority of the Outstanding Units entitled to vote and be present in person


  
 76 








 
or by proxy at such meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Limited Partners, unless a greater or different percentage is required with respect to such action under the provisions of
this Agreement, in which case the act of the Limited Partners holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent at least such greater or different percentage shall be required. The Limited Partners present at a duly called or held meeting at
which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Limited Partners to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the required percentage
of Outstanding Units specified in this Agreement (including Outstanding Units deemed owned by the General Partner). In the absence of a quorum any meeting of Limited Partners may be adjourned from time to time by the affirmative vote of holders of a
majority of the Outstanding Units entitled to vote at such meeting (including Outstanding Units deemed owned by the General Partner) represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted, except as provided in Section
13.7. 
  

	Section 13.10	Conduct of a Meeting. 

 The General Partner shall have full power and authority
concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of Section
13.4, the conduct of voting, the validity and effect of any proxies and the determination of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting. The General Partner shall designate a Person to serve as
chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting. All minutes shall be kept with the records of the Partnership maintained by the General Partner. The General Partner may make such other regulations
consistent with applicable law and this Agreement as it may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the
appointment and duties of inspectors of votes and approvals, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote, and the revocation of approvals in writing. 

 

	Section 13.11	Action Without a Meeting. 

 If authorized by the General Partner, any action that may be
taken at a meeting of the Limited Partners may be taken without a meeting if an approval in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Limited Partners owning not less than the minimum percentage of the Outstanding Units (including Units
deemed owned by the General Partner) that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Limited Partners were present and voted (unless such provision conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement
of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such exchange shall govern). Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Limited
Partners who have not approved in writing. The General Partner may specify that any written ballot submitted to Limited Partners for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Partnership within the time period,
which shall be not less than 20 days, specified by the General Partner. If a ballot returned to the Partnership does not vote all of the Units held by the Limited Partners, the Partnership shall be deemed to have failed to receive a ballot for the
Units that were not voted. If approval of the taking of any action by the Limited Partners is solicited by any Person other than 

  
 77 








 
by or on behalf of the General Partner, the written approvals shall have no force and effect unless and until (a) they are deposited with the Partnership in care of the General Partner, (b)
approvals sufficient to take the action proposed are dated as of a date not more than 90 days prior to the date sufficient approvals are deposited with the Partnership and (c) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the General Partner to the effect
that the exercise of such right and the action proposed to be taken with respect to any particular matter (i) will not cause the Limited Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management and control of the business and affairs of the
Partnership so as to jeopardize the Limited Partners’ limited liability, and (ii) is otherwise permissible under the applicable statutes then governing the rights, duties and liabilities of the Partnership and the Partners. 

 

	Section 13.12	Right to Vote and Related Matters. 

 (a)    Only those Record
Holders of the Units on the Record Date set pursuant to Section 13.6 (and also subject to the limitations contained in the definition of “Outstanding”) shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Limited Partners or to act
with respect to matters as to which the holders of the Outstanding Units have the right to vote or to act. All references in this Agreement to votes of, or other acts that may be taken by, the Outstanding Units shall be deemed to be references to
the votes or acts of the Record Holders of such Outstanding Units. 
 (b)    With respect to Units that are held for a
Person’s account by another Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation, or an agent of any of the foregoing), in whose name such Units are registered, such other Person shall, in exercising the voting rights
in respect of such Units on any matter, and unless the arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise, vote such Units in favor of, and at the direction of, the Person who is the beneficial owner, and the Partnership shall be entitled to assume
it is so acting without further inquiry. The provisions of this Section 13.12(b) (as well as all other provisions of this Agreement) are subject to the provisions of Section 4.3.

the Partnership or any Limited Partner and, in declining to consent to a merger or consolidation, shall not be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement
contemplated hereby or under the Marshall Islands Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. If the General Partner shall determine to consent to the merger or consolidation, the General Partner shall approve the Merger Agreement, which

(d)    the manner and basis of exchanging or converting the equity securities of each constituent business entity for, or
into, cash, property or interests, rights, securities or obligations of the Surviving Business Entity; and (i) if any general or limited partner interests, securities or rights of any constituent business entity are not to be exchanged or converted
solely for, or into, cash, property or interests, rights, securities or obligations of the Surviving Business Entity, the cash, property or general or limited partner interests, rights, securities or obligations of any general or limited
partnership, corporation, trust, limited liability company, unincorporated business or other entity (other than the Surviving Business Entity) which the holders of such interests, securities or rights are to receive in exchange for, or upon
conversion of their interests, securities or rights, and (ii) in the case of securities represented by certificates, upon the surrender of such certificates, which cash, property or interests, rights, securities or obligations of the Surviving
Business Entity or any general or limited partnership, corporation, trust, limited liability company, unincorporated business or other entity (other than the Surviving Business Entity), or evidences thereof, are to be delivered; 

(e)    a statement of any changes in the constituent documents or the adoption of new constituent documents (the articles

consolidation; 
 (f)    the effective time of the merger, which may be the date of the filing of the certificate of
merger pursuant to Section 14.4 or a later date specified in or determinable in accordance with the Merger Agreement (provided, that if the effective time of the merger is to be later than the date of the filing of such certificate of merger, the
effective time shall be fixed at a date or time certain at or prior to the time of the filing of such certificate of merger and stated therein); and

be necessary or appropriate.

and at any time prior to the filing of the certificate of merger pursuant to Section 14.4, the merger or consolidation may be abandoned pursuant to provisions therefor, if any, set forth in the Merger Agreement. 

(d)    Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Article XIV or in this Agreement, the General Partner is permitted,
without Limited Partner approval, to convert the Partnership or any Group Member into a new limited liability entity, to merge the Partnership or any Group Member into, or convey all of the Partnership’s assets to, another limited liability
entity which shall be newly formed and shall have no assets, liabilities or operations at the time of such conversion, merger or conveyance other than those it receives from the Partnership or other Group Member if (i) the General Partner has
received an Opinion of Counsel that the conversion, merger or conveyance, as the case may be, would not result in the loss of the limited liability of any Limited Partner or cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a
corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not previously treated as such), (ii) the sole purpose of such conversion, merger or conveyance is to effect a mere change in the legal form of the
Partnership into another limited liability entity and (iii) the governing instruments of the new entity provide the Limited Partners and the General Partner with the same rights and obligations as are herein contained.

(e)    Additionally, notwithstanding anything else contained in this Article XIV or in this Agreement, the General Partner
is permitted, without Limited Partner approval, to merge or consolidate the Partnership with or into another entity if (i) the General Partner has received an Opinion of Counsel that the merger or consolidation, as the case may be, would not result
in the loss of the limited liability of any Limited Partner or cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not previously treated
as such), (ii) the merger or consolidation would not result in an amendment to the Partnership Agreement, other than any amendments that could be adopted pursuant to Section 13.1, (iii) the Partnership is the Surviving Business Entity in such merger
or consolidation, (iv) each Unit outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation is to be an identical Unit of the Partnership after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, and (v) the number of
Partnership Securities to be issued by the Partnership in such merger or consolidation does not exceed 20% of the Partnership Securities Outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such merger or consolidation.

 Pursuant to Section 20(2) of the Marshall Islands
Act, an agreement of merger or consolidation approved in accordance with Section 20(2) of the Marshall Islands Act may (a) effect any amendment to this Agreement or (b) effect the adoption of a new partnership agreement for a limited partnership if
it is the Surviving Business Entity. Any such amendment or adoption made pursuant to this Section 14.5 shall be effective at the effective time or date of the merger or consolidation. 

 

	Section 14.6	Effect of Merger. 

 (a)    At the effective time of the certificate
of merger: 
 (i)    all of the rights, privileges and powers of each of the business entities that has
merged or consolidated, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to any of those business entities and all other things and causes of action belonging to each of those business entities, shall be vested in the Surviving Business
Entity and after the merger or consolidation shall be the property of the Surviving Business Entity to the extent they were of each constituent business entity; 

(ii)    the title to any real property vested by deed or otherwise in any of those constituent business
entities shall not revert and is not in any way impaired because of the merger or consolidation; 

(iii)    all rights of creditors and all liens on or security interests in property of any of those
constituent business entities shall be preserved unimpaired; and 
 (iv)    all debts, liabilities and
duties of those constituent business entities shall attach to the Surviving Business Entity and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if the debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by it. 

(b)    A merger or consolidation effected pursuant to this Article shall not be deemed to result in a transfer or
assignment of assets or liabilities from one entity to another. 
 ARTICLE XV 

RIGHT TO ACQUIRE LIMITED PARTNER INTERESTS 
  

	Section 15.1	Right to Acquire Limited Partner Interests. 

 (a)    Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the General Partner and its Affiliates hold more than 80% of the total Limited Partner Interests of any class 

  
 81 








 
or series then Outstanding, the General Partner shall then have the right, which right it may assign and transfer in whole or in part to the Partnership or any Affiliate of the General Partner,
exercisable at its option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Limited Partner Interests of such class or series then Outstanding held by Persons other than the General Partner and its Affiliates, at the greater of (x) the Current Market
Price as of the date three days prior to the date that the notice described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed and (y) the highest price paid by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates for any such Limited Partner Interest of such class or series
purchased during the 90-day period preceding the date that the notice described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the repurchase right described in this Article XV shall not apply to Series A Preferred Units. As
used in this Agreement, (i) “Current Market Price” as of any date of any class or series of Limited Partner Interests means the average of the daily Closing Prices (as hereinafter defined) per Limited Partner Interest of such class
or series for the 20 consecutive Trading Days (as hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such date; (ii) “Closing Price” for any day means the last sale price on such day, regular way, or in case no such sale takes place on such
day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day, regular way, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal National Securities Exchange (other than the
Nasdaq Stock Market) on which such Limited Partner Interests are listed or, if such Limited Partner Interests of such class or series are not listed on any National Securities Exchange (other than the Nasdaq Stock Market), the last quoted price on
such day or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices on such day in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market or such other system then in use, or, if on any such day such Limited Partner
Interests of such class or series are not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in such Limited Partner Interests of such class or
series selected by the General Partner, or if on any such day no market maker is making a market in such Limited Partner Interests of such class or series, the fair value of such Limited Partner Interests on such day as determined by the General
Partner; and (iii) “Trading Day” means a day on which the principal National Securities Exchange on which such Limited Partner Interests of any class or series are listed is open for the transaction of business or, if Limited
Partner Interests of a class or series are not listed on any National Securities Exchange, a day on which banking institutions in New York City generally are open. 

(b)    If the General Partner, any Affiliate of the General Partner or the Partnership elects to exercise the right to
purchase Limited Partner Interests granted pursuant to Section 15.1(a), the General Partner shall deliver to the Transfer Agent notice of such election to purchase (the “Notice of Election to Purchase”) and shall cause the Transfer
Agent to mail a copy of such Notice of Election to Purchase to the Record Holders of Limited Partner Interests of such class or series (as of a Record Date selected by the General Partner) at least 10, but not more than 60, days prior to the
Purchase Date. Such Notice of Election to Purchase shall also be published for a period of at least three consecutive days in at least two daily newspapers of general circulation printed in the English language and published in the Borough of
Manhattan, New York. The Notice of Election to Purchase shall specify the Purchase Date and the price (determined in accordance with Section 15.1(a)) at which Limited Partner Interests will be purchased and state that the General Partner, its
Affiliate or the Partnership, as the case may be, elects to purchase such Limited Partner Interests, upon surrender of Certificates representing such Limited Partner 

  
 82 








 
Interests in exchange for payment, at such office or offices of the Transfer Agent as the Transfer Agent may specify, or as may be required by any National Securities Exchange on which such
Limited Partner Interests are listed. Any such Notice of Election to Purchase mailed to a Record Holder of Limited Partner Interests at his address as reflected in the records of the Transfer Agent shall be conclusively presumed to have been given
regardless of whether the owner receives such notice. On or prior to the Purchase Date, the General Partner, its Affiliate or the Partnership, as the case may be, shall deposit with the Transfer Agent cash in an amount sufficient to pay the
aggregate purchase price of all of such Limited Partner Interests to be purchased in accordance with this Section 15.1. If the Notice of Election to Purchase shall have been duly given as aforesaid at least 10 days prior to the Purchase Date,
and if on or prior to the Purchase Date the deposit described in the preceding sentence has been made for the benefit of the holders of Limited Partner Interests subject to purchase as provided herein, then from and after the Purchase Date,
notwithstanding that any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for purchase, all rights of the holders of such Limited Partner Interests (including any rights pursuant to Articles IV, V, VI, and XII) shall thereupon cease, except the right to
receive the purchase price (determined in accordance with Section 15.1(a)) for Limited Partner Interests therefor, without interest, upon surrender to the Transfer Agent of the Certificates representing such Limited Partner Interests, and such
Limited Partner Interests shall thereupon be deemed to be transferred to the General Partner, its Affiliate or the Partnership, as the case may be, on the record books of the Transfer Agent and the Partnership, and the General Partner or any
Affiliate of the General Partner, or the Partnership, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the owner of all such Limited Partner Interests from and after the Purchase Date and shall have all rights as the owner of such Limited Partner Interests
(including all rights as owner of such Limited Partner Interests pursuant to Articles IV, V, VI, and XII). 
 (c)    At
any time from and after the Purchase Date, a holder of an Outstanding Limited Partner Interest subject to purchase as provided in this Section 15.1 may surrender his Certificate evidencing such Limited Partner Interest to the Transfer Agent in
exchange for payment of the amount described in Section 15.1(a), without interest thereon.

	Section 16.1	Designation. 

 The General Partner hereby designates and creates a series of Preferred
Units to be designated as “        % Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units,” and fixes the preferences, rights, powers and duties of the holders of the Series A Preferred
Units as set forth in this Article XVI. Each Series A Preferred Unit shall be identical in all respects to every other Series A Preferred Unit, except as to the respective dates from which the Series A Liquidation Preference
shall increase or from which Series A Distributions may begin accruing, to the extent such dates may differ. The Series A Preferred Units represent perpetual equity interests in the Partnership and shall not give rise to a claim by
the holder for redemption thereof at a particular date. 

  
 83 









	Section 16.2	Units. 

 (a)    The authorized number of Series A Preferred
Units shall be unlimited. Series A Preferred Units that are purchased or otherwise acquired by the Partnership shall be cancelled. 

(b)    The Series A Preferred Units shall be represented by a single certificate registered in the name of the
Depository or its nominee, and no Series A Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate evidencing such Series A Preferred Units, unless otherwise required by law or the Depository gives notice of its intention to resign or is no longer
eligible to act as such and the Partnership shall have not selected a substitute Depository within 60 calendar days thereafter. So long as the Depository shall have been appointed and is serving, payments and communications made by the
Partnership to Series A Holders shall be made by making payments to, and communicating with, the Depository. 
  

	Section 16.3	Distributions. 

 (a)    Distributions on each Series A
Preferred Unit shall accumulate at the Series A Distribution Rate in each Series A Distribution Period from and including the first day of the Series A Distribution Period (or for any Series A Preferred Units issued after the Series A
Original Issue Date, from and including the first day of the Series A Distribution Period immediately preceding the issuance date of such additional Series A Preferred Units) to and including the last day of the Series A Distribution Period,
until such time as the Partnership pays the Series A Distribution or redeems the Series A Preferred Units in full in accordance with Section 16.6 below, whether or not such Series A Distributions shall have been declared. Series A
Holders shall be entitled to receive Series A Distributions from time to time out of any assets of the Partnership legally available for the payment of distributions at the Series A Distribution Rate per Series A Preferred Unit, when, as,
and if declared by the General Partner. Distributions, to the extent declared by the General Partner to be paid by the Partnership in accordance with this Section 16.3, shall be paid for each Series A Distribution Period on each
Series A Distribution Payment Date. Series A Distributions shall be payable based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. All Series A Distributions payable by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 16.3 shall be payable
without regard to income of the Partnership and shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as guaranteed payments for the use of capital under Section 707(c) of the Code. The guaranteed payment with respect to any Series A Distribution
Period shall be for the account of the Series A Holders as of the close of the last Business Day of such Series A Distribution Period. 

(b)    Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Series A Distribution Payment Date, the Partnership
shall pay those Series A Distributions, if any, that shall have been declared by the General Partner to Series A Holders on the Record Date for the applicable Series A Preferred Distribution. The Record Date (the “Series A
Distribution Record Date”) for any Series A Distribution payment shall be as of the close of the National Securities Exchange on which the Series A Preferred Units are listed or admitted to trading on the last Business Day of each Series A
Distribution Period immediately preceding the applicable Series A Distribution Payment Date, except that in the case of payments of Series A Distributions in arrears, the Series A Distribution Record Date with respect to a Series A
Distribution Payment Date shall be such date as may be designated by the General Partner in accordance with this Article XVI. No distribution shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Junior Securities (other than a distribution
payable solely in Junior Securities) unless full cumulative Series A Distributions 

  
 84 








 
have been or contemporaneously are being paid or provided for on all Outstanding Series A Preferred Units and any Parity Securities through the most recent respective Series A
Distribution Payment Dates. Accumulated Series A Distributions in arrears for any past Series A Distribution Period may be declared by the General Partner and paid on any date fixed by the General Partner, whether or not a Series A
Distribution Payment Date, to Series A Holders on the record date for such payment, which may not be more than 60 days, nor less than 15 days, before such payment date. Subject to the next succeeding sentence, if all accumulated
Series A Distributions in arrears on all Outstanding Series A Preferred Units and any Parity Securities shall not have been declared and paid, or if sufficient funds for the payment thereof shall not have been set apart, payment of accumulated
distributions in arrears on the Series A Preferred Units and any such Parity Securities shall be made in order of their respective distribution payment dates, commencing with the earliest. If less than all distributions payable with
respect to all Series A Preferred Units and any Parity Securities are paid, any partial payment shall be made pro rata with respect to the Series A Preferred Units and any Parity Securities entitled to a distribution payment at such time
in proportion to the aggregate distribution amounts remaining due in respect of such Series A Preferred Units and Parity Securities at such time. Subject to Section 12.4 and Section 16.6, Series A Holders shall not be entitled to any
distribution, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative Series A Distributions. No interest or sum of money in lieu of interest shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment which may be in arrears on
the Series A Preferred Units. So long as the Series A Preferred Units are held of record by the nominee of the Depository, declared Series A Distributions shall be paid to the Depository in same-day funds on each Series A
Distribution Payment Date. 
  

	Section 16.4	[Intentionally Omitted]. 

  

	Section 16.5	Voting Rights. 

 (a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the Series A Preferred Units shall have no voting rights except as set forth in Section 13.3(d), this Section 16.5 or as otherwise provided by the Marshall Islands Act. 

(b)    In the event that six quarterly Series A Distributions, whether consecutive or not, are in arrears, the
Series A Holders shall have the right, voting as a class together with holders of any Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, at a meeting of the General Partner called for such purpose within 30
days after receipt by the General Partner of a request by Series A Holders holding a majority of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, to elect one member of the Board of Directors of the General Partner, and the size of the Board of
Directors of the General Partner shall be increased as needed to accommodate such change. Such right of such Series A Holders to elect a member of the Board of Directors of the General Partner shall continue until the Partnership pays in
full, or declares and sets aside funds for the payment of, all Series A Distributions accumulated and in arrears on the Series A Preferred Units, at which time such right shall terminate, subject to the revesting of such right in the event of
each and every subsequent failure to pay six quarterly Series A Distributions as described above in this Section 16.5(b). Upon any termination of the right of the Series A Holders and, if applicable, holders of any other Parity Securities
to vote as a class for such director, the term of office of the director then in office elected by such Series A Holders 

  
 85 








 
and holders voting as a class shall terminate immediately. Any director elected by the Series A Holders and, if applicable, any other Parity Securities shall be entitled to one vote on
any matter before the Board of Directors of the General Partner. 
 (c)     

(i)    Unless the General Partner shall have received the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at
least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, voting as a class, the General Partner shall not adopt any amendment to this Agreement that would have a material adverse effect on the existing terms of the Series A Preferred
Units. 
 (ii)    Unless the General Partner shall have received the affirmative vote or consent of the
holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, voting as a class together with holders of any other Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the Partnership shall not
(x) issue any Parity Securities or Senior Securities if the cumulative dividends payable on Outstanding Series A Preferred Units are in arrears or (y) create or issue any Senior Securities. 

(d)    For any matter described in this Section 16.5 in which the Series A Holders are entitled to vote as a class
(whether separately or together with the holders of any Parity Securities), such Series A Holders shall be entitled to one vote per Series A Preferred Unit. Any Series A Preferred Units held by the Partnership or any of its
subsidiaries or Affiliates shall not be entitled to vote. 
  

	Section 16.6	Optional Redemption. 

 The Partnership shall have the right at any time, and from time
to time, on or after                 , 2021 to redeem the Series A Preferred Units, in whole or in part, from any source of funds legally available for such
purpose. Any such redemption shall occur on a date set by the General Partner (the “Series A Redemption Date”). 

(a)    The Partnership shall effect any such redemption by paying cash for each Series A Preferred Unit to be
redeemed equal to the Series A Liquidation Preference for such Series A Preferred Unit on such Series A Redemption Date (the “Series A Redemption Price”). So long as the
Series A Preferred Units are held of record by the nominee of the Depository, the Series A Redemption Price shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Depository on the Series A Redemption Date. 

(b)    The Partnership shall give notice of any redemption by mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days and not more
than 60 days before the scheduled Series A Redemption Date, to the Series A Holders (as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) of any Series A Preferred Units to be
redeemed as such Series A Holders’ names appear on the books of the Transfer Agent and at the address of such Series A Holders shown therein. Such notice (the “Series A Redemption
Notice”) shall state: (1) the Series A Redemption Date, (2) the number of Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed and, if 

  
 86 








 
less than all Outstanding Series A Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the number (and the identification) of Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed from such Series A Holder,
(3) the Series A Redemption Price, (4) the place where the Series A Preferred Units are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Series A Redemption Price therefor and (5) that
distributions on the Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease to accumulate from and after such Series A Redemption Date. 

(c)    If the Partnership elects to redeem less than all of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, the number of
Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed shall be determined by the General Partner, and such Series A Preferred Units shall be redeemed by such method of selection as the Depository shall determine either Pro Rata or by lot, with
adjustments to avoid redemption of fractional Series A Preferred Units. The aggregate Series A Redemption Price for any such partial redemption of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units shall be allocated correspondingly among
the redeemed Series A Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units not redeemed shall remain Outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided in this Article XVI. 

(d)    If the Partnership gives or causes to be given a Series A Redemption Notice, the Partnership shall deposit
with the Paying Agent funds, sufficient to redeem the Series A Preferred Units as to which such Series A Redemption Notice shall have been given, no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Series A Redemption Date, and shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Series A Redemption Price to the Series A Holders to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender (which shall occur
automatically if the certificate representing such Series A Preferred Units is issued in the name of the Depository or its nominee) of the certificates therefor as set forth in the Series A Redemption Notice. If the Series A
Redemption Notice shall have been given, from and after the Series A Redemption Date, unless the Partnership defaults in providing funds sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the Series A
Redemption Notice, all Series A Distributions on such Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease to accumulate and all rights of holders of such Series A Preferred Units as Limited Partners with respect to such Series A
Preferred Units shall cease, except the right to receive the Series A Redemption Price, and such Series A Preferred Units shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Transfer Agent or be deemed to be Outstanding for any purpose
whatsoever. The Partnership shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited with the Paying Agent (to the extent that such interest income is not required to pay the Series A
Redemption Price of the Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed), and the holders of any Series A Preferred Units so redeemed shall have no claim to any such interest income. Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the
Partnership for any reason, including redemption of Series A Preferred Units, that remain unclaimed or unpaid after two years after the applicable Series A Redemption Date or other payment date, shall be, to the extent permitted by law,
repaid to the Partnership upon its written request, after which repayment the Series A Holders entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to the Partnership. Notwithstanding any Series A Redemption Notice,
there shall be no redemption of any Series A Preferred Units called for redemption until funds sufficient to pay the full Series A Redemption Price of such Series A Preferred Units shall have been deposited by the Partnership with the
Paying Agent. 

  
 87 








 (e)    Any Series A Preferred Units that are redeemed or otherwise
acquired by the Partnership shall be canceled. If only a portion of the Series A Preferred Units represented by a certificate shall have been called for redemption, upon surrender of the certificate to the Paying Agent (which shall occur
automatically if the certificate representing such Series A Preferred Units is registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee), the Paying Agent shall issue to the Series A Holders a new certificate (or adjust the applicable
book-entry account) representing the number of Series A Preferred Units represented by the surrendered certificate that have not been called for redemption. 

(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XVI, in the event that full cumulative distributions on
the Series A Preferred Units and any Parity Securities shall not have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, none of the Partnership, the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner shall be permitted to repurchase, redeem
or otherwise acquire, in whole or in part, any Series A Preferred Units or Parity Securities except pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all Series A Holders and any Parity Securities. None of the
Partnership, the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner shall be permitted to redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any Common Units or any other Junior Securities unless full cumulative distributions on the Series A
Preferred Units and any Parity Securities for all prior and the then-ending Series A Distribution Periods shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment. 
  

	Section 16.7	Rank. 

 The Series A Preferred Units shall be deemed to rank: 

(a)    Senior to (i) the Common Units and (ii) any other class or series of Partnership Securities established
after the Series A Original Issue Date by the General Partner, the terms of which class or series do not expressly provide that it is made senior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Units as to current distributions (collectively
referred to with the Partnership’s Common Units as “Junior Securities”); 
 (b)    On a parity
with any class or series of Partnership Securities established after the Series A Original Issue Date by the General Partner, the terms of which class or series are not expressly subordinated or senior to the Series A Preferred Units as to
current distributions (collectively referred to as “Parity Securities”); and 

(c)    Junior to any class or series of Partnership Securities established after the Series A Original Issue Date by
the General Partner, the terms of which class or series expressly provide that it ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Units as to current distributions (collectively referred to as “Senior Securities”). 

The Partnership may issue Junior Securities and, subject to any approvals required by Series A Holders pursuant to Section 16.5(c)(ii),
Parity Securities from time to time in one or more classes or series without the consent of the Series A Holders. The General Partner has the authority to determine the preferences, powers, qualifications, limitations, restrictions and
special or relative rights or privileges, if any, of any such class or series before the issuance of any Partnership Securities of such class or series. 

  
 88 









	Section 16.8	No Sinking Fund. 

 The Series A Preferred Units shall not have the benefit of any
sinking fund. 
  

	Section 16.9	Record Holders. 

 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General
Partner, Partnership, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent and the Paying Agent may deem and treat any Series A Holder as the true, lawful and absolute owner of the applicable Series A Preferred Units for all purposes, and neither the General
Partner, the Partnership nor the Registrar, the Transfer Agent or the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
  

	Section 16.10	Notices. 

 All notices or communications in respect of the Series A Preferred Units
shall be sufficiently given if given in writing and delivered in person or by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if given in such other manner as may be permitted in this Article XVI, this Agreement or by applicable law. 

 

	Section 16.11	Other Rights; Fiduciary Duties. 

 The Series A Preferred Units shall not have any
voting powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth in this Article XVI or as provided by applicable law. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Section 7.9(c) and without reference to the definition of “good faith” in Section 7.9(b), neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall owe any fiduciary duties to
Series A Holders, other than a contractual duty of good faith and fair dealing. 
 ARTICLE XVII 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	Section 17.1	Addresses and Notices.

Partner at the address described below. Any notice, payment or report to be given or made to a Partner hereunder shall be deemed conclusively to have been given or made, and the obligation to give such notice or report or to make such payment shall
be deemed conclusively to have been fully satisfied, upon sending of such notice, payment or report to the Record Holder of such Partnership Securities at his address as shown on the records of the Transfer Agent or as otherwise shown on the records
of the Partnership, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such Partnership Securities by reason of any 

  
 89 








 
assignment or otherwise. An affidavit or certificate of making of any notice, payment or report in accordance with the provisions of this Section 17.1 executed by the General Partner, the
Transfer Agent or the mailing organization shall be prima facie evidence of the giving or making of such notice, payment or report. If any notice, payment or report addressed to a Record Holder at the address of such Record Holder appearing on the
books and records of the Transfer Agent or the Partnership is returned by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver it, such notice, payment or report and any subsequent notices,
payments and reports shall be deemed to have been duly given or made without further mailing (until such time as such Record Holder or another Person notifies the Transfer Agent or the Partnership of a change in his address) if they are available
for the Partner at the principal office of the Partnership for a period of one year from the date of the giving or making of such notice, payment or report to the other Partners. Any notice to the Partnership shall be deemed given if received by the
General Partner at the principal office of the Partnership designated pursuant to Section 2.3. The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in relying on any notice or other document from a Partner or other Person if believed by it to be
genuine.

pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto.

shall be enforceable by, any creditor of the Partnership. 
  

	Section 17.6	Waiver.

shall constitute an agreement binding on all the parties hereto, notwithstanding that all such parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart. Each party shall become bound by this Agreement immediately upon affixing its
