sold, transferred or contributed pursuant to Article II have been or are being
sold, transferred or contributed subject to, (a) any liens or security interests
securing consensual indebtedness covering any of such matters, except to the
extent set forth on a schedule to this Agreement, and all such liens and
security interests shall be deemed to be excluded from the assumptions of
liabilities made under this Article III or (b) any

<PAGE>

                                   ARTICLE IV
                               FURTHER ASSURANCES

     4.1 Further Assurances

     . From time to time after the date hereof, and without any further
consideration, the Parties agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver all such
additional deeds, assignments, bills of sale, conveyances, instruments, notices,
releases, acquittances and other documents, and will do all such other acts and
things, all in accordance with applicable law, as may be necessary or
appropriate (a) more fully to assure that the applicable Parties own all of the
properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges
granted by this Agreement, or which are intended to be so granted, and (b) more
fully and effectively to vest in the applicable Parties and their respective
successors and assigns beneficial and record title to the interests contributed
and assigned by this Agreement or intended so to be and to more fully and
effectively carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

     4.2 Other Assurances

consideration, each of the Parties shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all
such additional instruments, notices and other documents, and will do all such
other acts and things, all in accordance with applicable law, as may be

and intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Parties acknowledge that the Parties have used their good faith efforts to
attempt to identify all of the assets being contributed to the MLP or its
subsidiaries as required in connection with the Offering. However, it is
possible that assets intended to be contributed to the MLP or its subsidiaries
were not identified and therefore are not included in the assets contributed to
the MLP or its subsidiaries. It is the express intent of the Parties that the
MLP or its subsidiaries own all assets necessary to operate the assets that are
identified in this Agreement and in the Registration Statement. To the extent
any assets were not identified but are necessary to the operation of assets that
were identified, then the intent of the Parties is that all such unidentified
assets are intended to be conveyed to the appropriate Party. To the extent such
assets are identified at a later date, the Parties shall take the appropriate
actions required in order to convey all such assets to the appropriate Party.
Likewise, to the extent that assets are identified at a later date that were not
intended by the Parties to be conveyed as reflected in the Registration
Statement, the Parties shall take the appropriate actions required in order to
convey all such assets to the appropriate Party.

<PAGE>

     . Each of the Parties that has made a transfer or contribution as reflected
by this Agreement (each a "Contributing Party") hereby constitutes and appoints
the party to whom assets were transferred or contributed and its successors and
assigns (the "Receiving Party"), its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
power of substitution for it and in its name, place and stead or otherwise on
behalf of the applicable Contributing Party and its successors and assigns, and
for the benefit of the applicable Receiving Party and its successors and
assigns, to demand and receive from time to time the applicable assets
contributed and any income therefrom and to execute in the name of the
applicable Contributing Party and its successors and assigns instruments of
conveyance, instruments of further assurance and to give receipts and releases
in respect of the same, and from time to time to institute and prosecute in the

or otherwise which the applicable Receiving Party and its successors and
assigns, may deem proper in order to (a) collect, assert or enforce any claims,
rights or titles of any kind in and to the applicable assets, (b) defend and
compromise any and all actions, suits or proceedings in respect of any of the
applicable assets, and (c) do any and all such acts and things in furtherance of
this Agreement as the applicable Receiving Party or its successors or assigns
shall deem advisable. Each Contributing Party hereby declares that the
appointments hereby made and the powers hereby granted are coupled with an
interest and are and shall be irrevocable and perpetual and shall not be

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     6.1 Order of Completion of Transactions

     . The transactions provided for in Article II (except as otherwise noted)
and Article III of this Agreement shall be completed on the Effective Date in
the following order:

     First, the transactions provided for in Article II shall be completed in
the order set forth therein; and

     Second, the transactions provided for in Article III shall be completed in
the order set forth therein.

     6.2 Consents; Restriction on Assignment

     . If there are prohibitions against or conditions to the contribution and
conveyance of one or more of the matters conveyed in this Agreement without the
prior written consent of third parties, including, without limitation,
governmental agencies (other than consents of a ministerial nature which are
normally granted in the ordinary course of business), which if not satisfied
would result in a breach of such prohibitions or conditions or would give an
outside party the right to terminate rights of the Party to whom the applicable
matters were intended to be conveyed (the "Beneficial Owner") with respect to
such portion of such matters (herein called a "Restriction"), then any provision
contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the transfer of
title to or interest in each such portion of such matters (herein called the
"Restriction Matter") pursuant to this Agreement shall not become effective
unless and

                                       20

<PAGE>

until such Restriction is satisfied, waived or no longer applies. When and if
such a Restriction is so satisfied, waived or no longer applies, to the extent
permitted by applicable law and any applicable contractual provisions, the
assignment of the Restriction Matter subject thereto shall become effective
automatically as of the Effective Time, without further action on the part of
any Party. Each of the applicable Parties that were involved with the conveyance
of a Restriction Matter agree to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain on
a timely basis satisfaction of any Restriction applicable to any Restriction
Matter conveyed by or acquired by any of them. The description of any portion of
such matters as a "Restriction Matter" shall not be construed as an admission
that any Restriction exists with respect to the transfer of such portion of such
matters. In the event that any Restriction Matter exists, the applicable Party
agrees to continue to hold such Restriction Matter in trust for the exclusive
benefit of the applicable Party to whom such Restriction Matter was intended to
be conveyed and to otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to provide such
other Party with the benefits thereof, and the party holding such Restriction
Matter will enter into other agreements, or take such other action as it may
deem necessary, in order to ensure that the applicable Party to whom such
Restriction Matter was intended to be conveyed has the assets and concomitant
rights necessary to enable the applicable Party to operate such Restriction
Matter in all material respects as it was operated prior to the Effective Time.

     6.3 Costs

     . The OLP shall pay all sales, use and similar taxes arising out of the
contributions, conveyances and deliveries to be made hereunder, and shall pay
all documentary, filing, recording, transfer, and conveyance taxes and fees
required in connection therewith. In addition, the OLP shall be responsible for
all costs, liabilities and expenses (including court costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the satisfaction or waiver of any
Restriction pursuant to Section 6.2.

     6.4 Headings; References; Interpretation

     . All Article and Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience
only and shall not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of
any of the provisions hereof. The words "hereof," "herein" and "hereunder" and
words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this
Agreement as a whole, including without limitation, all Schedules attached
hereto, and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All references
herein to Articles, Sections, and Schedules shall, unless the context requires a
different construction, be deemed to be references to the Articles, Sections and
Schedules of this Agreement, respectively, and all such Schedules attached
hereto are hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all purposes.

following any general statement, term or matter shall not be construed to limit
such statement, term or matter to the specific items or matters set forth
immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not
non-limiting language (such as "without limitation," "but not limited to," or
words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be
deemed to refer to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within
the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term or matter.
