2.Purchase and Sale. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Partnership agrees to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Partnership, at a purchase price of $15.25 per unit, the Firm Units.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth herein, upon receipt of three days notice from the Partnership, the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Partnership Additional Common Units (as hereinafter defined) at the same purchase price per unit as the Purchaser shall pay for the Firm Units, less an amount per Unit equal to any distributions declared by the Partnership and payable on the Firm Units but not payable on the Option Units. Said requirement to purchase Option Units may be exercised only to the extent that Citigroup Global Markets Inc. does not exercise its option to purchase Additional Common Units under the Underwriting Agreement. Said requirement to purchase may be exercised at any time on or after the 30th day after the date of the Final Prospectus and on or before the 45th day after the date of the Final Prospectus, upon written or telegraphic notice by the Partnership to the Purchaser setting forth the number of Option Units as to which the Partnership is requiring the Purchaser to acquire and the settlement date.

Delivery of the Units shall be made to the Purchaser against payment by the Purchaser of the purchase price thereof to or, upon the order of the Partnership, by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to an account specified by the Partnership. Delivery of the Firm Units and the Option Units shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) unless the Purchaser shall otherwise instruct.

If the requirement to purchase Option Units provided for in Section 2(b) hereof is exercised, the Partnership will deliver the Option Units (at the expense of the Partnership) to the Purchaser at 700 Milam Street, Suite 800, Houston, Texas, on the date specified by the Partnership (which shall be within three Business Days after exercise of said option), against payment by the Purchaser of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Partnership by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to an account specified by the Partnership. The Partnership will deliver to the Purchaser on the settlement date for the Option Units, and the obligation of the Purchaser to purchase the Option Units shall be conditioned upon receipt of, supplemental opinions, certificates and letters confirming as of such date the opinions, certificates and letters delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6 hereof.

4.Reserved.

5.Agreements. Each of the Partnership Parties, jointly and severally, agrees with the Purchaser that:

(a)Preparation of Final Prospectus and Registration Statement. The Partnership will cause the Final Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed. The Partnership will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration Statement and, upon such issuance, occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

(b)Amendment or Supplement of Disclosure Package and Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses.

(e)Subsequent to the Applicable Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Partnership Entities taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Purchaser, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Units as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

(f)Prior to the Closing Date, the Partnership Parties shall have furnished to the Purchaser such further information, certificates and documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request.

8.Indemnification and Contribution

(a)Each of the Partnership Parties agrees, jointly and severally, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, the managers, officers, employees, agents and affiliates of the Purchaser and each person who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or in any amendment thereof, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any other “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (ii) reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with

investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Partnership Parties will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership Parties by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Partnership Parties may otherwise have.

(b)The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Partnership Parties, each director of the General Partner, each of the General Partner's officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls any Partnership Party within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the parties foregoing indemnity from the Partnership Parties to the Partnership, but only with reference to written information relating to the Partnership furnished to the Partnership Parties by or on behalf of the Partnership specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Partnership may otherwise have.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to

such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Partnership Parties agree, jointly and severally, and the Purchaser agrees, to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Partnership Parties and the Purchaser may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership Parties, on the one hand, and by the Purchaser, on the other, from the offering of the Units. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Partnership Parties and the Purchaser shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Partnership Parties, on the one hand, and of the Purchaser, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Partnership Parties shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering of the Units (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Purchaser shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Partnership Parties, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Partnership Parties and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each manager, officer, employee and agent of the Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as the Purchaser, and each person who controls the General Partner or the Partnership within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of any of the General Partner or the Partnership who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of any of the General Partner or the Partnership shall have the same rights to contribution as the Partnership Parties, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

9.Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Purchaser, by notice given to the Partnership prior to delivery of and payment for the Units, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading in the Common Units shall have been suspended by the Commission or the NYSE Amex or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE Amex shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on either of such exchanges, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities, (iii) a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of

hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Purchaser, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Units as contemplated by the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

10.Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Partnership Parties or their respective officers and of the Purchaser set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Partnership Parties or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Units.
