Item 9. Undertakings
      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
        (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
        (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

EXHIBIT 1.1

TEEKAY LNG PARTNERS L.P.

4,000,000 COMMON UNITS
REPRESENTING LIMITED PARTNER INTERESTS

UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. November __, 2005
[Co-Managers -- to come]

c/o Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
388 Greenwich Street
New York, New York 10013

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Teekay LNG Partners L.P., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands (the "Partnership"), proposes to issue and sell (the "OFFERING") to you (the "UNDERWRITERS"), 4,000,000 Common Units (the "FIRM UNITS"), each representing a limited partner interest in the Partnership (the "COMMON UNITS"). The Partnership also proposes to grant to you an option to purchase up to 600,000 additional Common Units to cover over-allotments (the "OPTION UNITS"). The Firm Units and the Option Units, if purchased, are hereinafter collectively called the "UNITS." Certain terms used herein are defined in Section 19 hereof.

Teekay GP L.L.C., a Marshall Islands limited liability company (the "GENERAL PARTNER"), serves as the sole general partner of the Partnership. Teekay LNG Operating L.L.C., a Marshall Islands limited liability company (the "OPERATING COMPANY"), is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Partnership. Teekay Luxembourg S.a.r.l., a Luxembourg company ("LUXCO"), is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Operating Company. Teekay Shipping Spain S.L., a Spanish company ("TEEKAY SPAIN"), is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Luxco. The entities set forth on Schedule II are wholly owned subsidiaries of Teekay Spain and are referred to herein collectively with Luxco and Teekay Spain as the "OPERATING SUBSIDIARIES").

The General Partner, the Partnership, the Operating Company and the Operating Subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "TEEKAY ENTITIES." The General Partner, the Partnership and the Operating Company are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "TEEKAY PARTIES."

This is to confirm the agreement among the Teekay Parties and the Underwriters concerning the purchase of the Firm Units and the Option Units from the Partnership by the Underwriters.


1. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Teekay Parties. Each of the Teekay Parties, jointly and severally, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that:

(a) Registration. The Partnership has prepared and filed with the Commission a registration statement (File number 333-_______) on Form F-1, including a related preliminary prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of the Units. The Partnership may have filed one or more amendments thereto, including a related preliminary prospectus, each of which has previously been furnished to you. The Partnership will next file with the Commission one of the following: either (i) prior to the Effective Date of such registration statement, a further amendment to such registration statement (including the form of final prospectus) or (ii) after the Effective Date of such registration statement, a final prospectus in accordance with Rules 430A and 424(b). In the case of clause (ii), the Partnership has included in such registration statement, as amended at the Effective Date, all information (other than Rule 430A Information) required by the Act and the rules thereunder to be included in such registration statement and the Prospectus. As filed, such amendment and form of final prospectus, or such final prospectus, shall contain all Rule 430A Information, together with all other such required information, and, except to the extent Citigroup Global Markets Inc. shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the latest Preliminary Prospectus) as the Partnership has advised you, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein.

(b) No Material Misstatements or Omissions. On the Effective Date, the Registration Statement did or will, and when the Prospectus is first filed (if required) in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date and on any date on which Option Units are purchased hereunder, if such date is not the Closing Date (an "OPTION CLOSING DATE"), the Prospectus (and any supplements thereto) will, comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the rules thereunder; on the Effective Date and at the Execution Time, the Registration Statement did not or will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and, on the Effective Date, the Prospectus, if not filed pursuant to Rule 424(b), will not, and on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, the Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) will not, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state 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 the statements made or to be made in such documents that are covered by Rule 175(b) under the Act were made or will be made with a reasonable basis and in good faith, provided, however, that the Teekay Parties make no representations or warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Partnership by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto).

(c) Formation and Qualification. Each of the Teekay Entities has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing as a limited partnership, limited liability company

-2-

or corporation, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of formation or incorporation, and is duly registered or qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign limited liability company, limited partnership or corporation, as the case may be, in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its businesses requires such registration or qualification, except where the failure so to register or qualify would not (i) reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) subject the limited partners of the Partnership to any material liability or disability. "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT," as used throughout this Agreement, means a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, business, properties, assets or prospects of the Teekay Entities, taken as a whole, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto). Each of the Teekay Entities has all limited liability company, limited partnership or corporate, as the case may be, power and authority necessary to own or lease its properties currently owned or leased or to be owned or leased at each Closing Date, and to conduct its business as currently conducted and as to be conducted at each Closing Date, in each case in all material respects as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus.

(d) Ownership of General Partner Interest in the Partnership. The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership with a 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership; such general partner interest will be duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the partnership agreement of the Partnership (the "PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT"); and the General Partner owns such general partner interest free and clear of all pledges, liens, encumbrances, security interests, charges, equities or other claims (collectively, "LIENS") (except restrictions on transferability contained in the Partnership Agreement, as described in the Prospectus, or under applicable securities laws).

(e) Ownership of the Sponsor Units and Incentive Distribution Rights in the Partnership. Teekay Shipping Corporation, a Marshall Islands corporation and the owner of the General Partner ("TSC"), owns, immediately prior to the Offering, 8,734,572 Common Units and 14,734,572 Subordinated Units (all such Common and Subordinated Units being collectively referred to herein as the "SPONSOR UNITS"); and the General Partner owns 100% of the Incentive Distribution Rights (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) (the "INCENTIVE DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS"). All of such Sponsor Units and Incentive Distribution Rights and the limited partner interests represented thereby have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, and are fully paid (to the extent required under the Partnership Agreement) and nonassessable (except as described in the Prospectus under the caption "The Partnership Agreement - - Limited Liability"); and TSC and the General Partner own the Sponsor Units and the Incentive Distribution Rights, respectively, free and clear of all Liens (except restrictions on transferability contained in the Partnership Agreement, as described in the Prospectus or under applicable securities laws).

(f) Valid Issuance of the Units. At the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, the Firm Units and the Option Units, as the case may be, and the limited partner interests represented thereby will be duly authorized by the Partnership Agreement and, when issued and delivered to the Underwriters against payment therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid (to the extent required under the Partnership Agreement) and

-3-

nonassessable (except as described in the Prospectus under the caption "The Partnership Agreement - Limited Liability").

(g) Ownership of the General Partner. TSC directly owns a 100% membership interest in the General Partner; such membership interest has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid (to the extent required under the limited liability company agreement of the General Partner (the "GENERAL PARTNER LLC AGREEMENT")) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Section 51 of the Marshall Islands Limited Liability Company Act); and TSC owns such membership interest free and clear of all Liens.

(h) Ownership of the Operating Company. The Partnership owns a 100% membership interest in the Operating Company; such membership interest has been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the limited liability company agreement of the Operating Company (the "OPERATING COMPANY LLC AGREEMENT") and is fully paid (to the extent required under the Operating Company LLC Agreement) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Section 51 of the Marshall Islands Limited Liability Company Act); and the Partnership owns such membership interest free and clear of all Liens except for Liens pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as defined in Section 19 hereof).

(i) Ownership of the Operating Subsidiaries and Acquisition Subsidiaries. The Operating Company owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity interests in each of the Operating Subsidiaries; such equity interests are duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the organizational documents of each Operating Subsidiary (the "OPERATING SUBSIDIARIES' ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS") and are fully paid (to the extent required under the Operating Subsidiaries' Organizational Agreements) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by the applicable statutes of the jurisdiction of formation of the applicable Operating Subsidiary); and the Operating Company owns such equity interests free and clear of all Liens except for Liens pursuant to the credit agreements and related security agreements disclosed or referred to in the Prospectus. Immediately following the closing of the acquisition of African Spirit L.L.C., Asian Spirit L.L.C. and European Spirit L.L.C. (the "ACQUISITION SUBSIDIARIES") according to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Operating Company will own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity interests in each of the Acquisition Subsidiaries; such equity interests will be duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the organizational documents of each Acquisition Subsidiary (THE "ACQUISITION SUBSIDIARIES ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS") and will be fully paid (to the extent required under the Acquisition Subsidiaries Organizational Agreements) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by the applicable statutes of the jurisdiction of formation of the applicable Acquisition Subsidiary); and the Operating Company will own such equity interests free and clear of all Liens except for Liens pursuant to the credit agreements and related security agreements disclosed or referred to in the Prospectus.

(j) No Other Subsidiaries. Other than its 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership and the Incentive Distribution Rights, the General Partner does not own, and at the Closing Date and the Option Closing Date, will not own, directly or indirectly, any equity or long-term debt securities of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association or other entity. Other than (i) the Partnership's ownership of a 100% membership interest in the Operating Company and (ii) the Operating Company's ownership

-4-

(directly or indirectly) of 100% of the equity interests in each of the Operating Subsidiaries and in the Acquisition Subsidiaries, neither the Partnership nor the Operating Company owns, and at the Closing Date and the Option Closing Date, neither will own, directly or indirectly, any equity or long-term debt securities of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association or other entity.

(k) No Preemptive Rights or Options. Except as described in the Prospectus or herein, there are no preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of, any equity interests of any of the Teekay Entities. Except as described in the Prospectus, there are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase (i) any Common Units, Subordinated Units, Incentive Distribution Rights or other interests in the Partnership, (ii) any membership interests in the Operating Company, (iii) to the Teekay Parties' knowledge, any membership interests in the General Partner, or (iv) any equity interests in any Operating Subsidiary or the Acquisition Subsidiaries.

(l) No Registration Rights. No holder of securities of any of the Teekay Entities has rights to the registration of such securities under the Registration Statement, except for any rights of TSC with respect to this Offering, which rights it has waived.

(m) Capitalization. As of June 30, 2005 and based on the assumptions set forth in the Prospectus, the Partnership would have had, on an as adjusted basis indicated in the Prospectus (and any amendment or supplement thereto), a capitalization as set forth in the "Capitalization" section thereof.

(n) Authority and Authorization. The Partnership has all requisite limited partnership power and authority to issue, sell and deliver the Units in accordance with and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Partnership Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and to acquire the equity interests in the Acquisition Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. At the Closing Date and the Option Closing Date, all corporate, partnership and limited liability company action, as the case may be, required to be taken by the Teekay Entities or any of their stockholders, partners or members for the (i) authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Units contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase Agreement shall have been validly taken.

(o) Enforceability of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by each of the Teekay Parties.

-5-

(iii) the Operating Company LLC Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Partnership; and

(iv) each of the Operating Subsidiaries' Organizational Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the appropriate Teekay Entity;

provided that, with respect to each agreement described in this Section 1(p), the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and, provided further, that the indemnity, contribution and exoneration provisions contained in any of such agreements may be limited by applicable laws and public policy.

The General Partner LLC Agreement, the Partnership Agreement, the Operating Company LLC Agreement, and the Operating Subsidiaries' Organizational Documents are herein collectively referred to as the "OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS."

The General Partner has the power and authority to enter into, on behalf of the Partnership, the Purchase Agreement between TSC and the Partnership related to the acquisition of the entities that own the Suezmax tankers the African Spirit, the Asian Spirit and the European Spirit (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT") and to carry out its obligations thereunder.

-23-

(xxi) Negative Assurance. Although we have not independently verified, are not passing on, and are not assuming any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus under the captions "Business -- Regulation -- International Maritime Organization (or IMO)," "Business-Regulation-Environmental Regulations -- The United States Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (or OPA 90)," "Business -- Regulation -- Environmental Regulations -- Other Environmental Initiatives," "Business -- Taxation of the Partnership -- Marshall Islands Taxation," "Conflicts of Interest and Fiduciary Duties," "The Partnership Agreement-Limited Liability" and "Service of Process and Enforcement of Civil Liabilities" (except to the extent specified in the foregoing opinion), no facts have come to such counsel's attention that lead such counsel to believe that the above-referenced sections of the Registration Statement, as of its effective date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the above-referenced sections of the Prospectus, as of its issue date and the Closing Date, contains or contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(xxiii) Choice of Law. The choice of New York law to govern this Agreement constitutes a valid choice of law under the law of the Republic of The Marshall Islands.

(xxiv) Non-Exclusive Jurisdiction. The submission by the Partnership to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, is a valid submission under the law of the Republic of The Marshall Islands.

(i) an English court, applying English conflict of laws rules, would (notwithstanding that neither TSC nor the Partnership have any connection with England or Wales and nor that any of the Acquisition Subsidiaries or the rights and assets sold and purchased under the Purchase Agreement are sited in England and Wales) hold as between TSC and the Partnership that English law is the applicable law of the Purchase Agreement; but in circumstances where the rights or assets are the subject matter of a dispute with a third party or which is referred to the courts of a jurisdiction in which these assets or rights are sited, or in which any of the parties to such dispute are located, an English court, applying English conflict of laws rules, could hold that the effectiveness of the rights and interests created by the Purchase Agreement would be subject to determination in accordance with the laws of the country in which a party to the dispute resides or is formed and/or the law of the country in which the assets or rights are situated.

(ii) no consent of any governmental or official authority in England applicable to companies generally is required in connection with the Purchase Agreement in order for it to be valid or to remain enforceable under English law; and it is not necessary to deliver or register the Purchase Agreement in England or Wales in order to confirm its validity.

(iv) the provisions of the Purchase Agreement relating to the sale and purchase of ownership interests in and promissory notes issued by the Acquisition Subsidiaries are binding and enforceable obligations. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the options to be granted to TSC under the terms of the Purchase Agreement or in relation to the warranties and indemnities expressed to be given in the Purchase Agreement.

(h) The Partnership shall have requested and caused Uria & Menendez, special Spanish counsel for the Partnership, to have furnished to you their written opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to you, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters, to the effect that:

(i) Formation of Spanish Subsidiaries. Each of the subsidiaries of the Partnership listed on Schedule IV (the "SPANISH SUBSIDIARIES") was duly incorporated and is validly existing as private limited liability company (Sociedad de responsabilidad limitada) under the laws of Spain. Each of the Spanish Subsidiaries has corporate power to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business, in each case in all material respects as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(ii) Ownership of Spanish Subsidiaries. All of the created units of stock of capital of each Spanish Subsidiary have been validly created and, assuming creation against payment therefore, are fully paid. All of the units of stock of corporate capital of the Spanish Subsidiaries are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Operating Company free and clear of all Liens, other than the pledges set for on Exhibit A (the "SPANISH PLEDGES"). To counsel's knowledge, there are no outstanding rights, warrants or options to acquire, or instruments convertible or exchangeable for, any units of stock of any Spanish Subsidiary.

(iii) No Preemptive Rights or Options. There are no preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of any shares of capital stock of any Spanish Subsidiary other than those set forth in the Spanish Private Limited Liability Companies Act (Ley 2/1995, de 23 de marzo, de Sociedades de Responsabilidad Limitada), in the Spanish Pledges, the Spanish credit agreements of Naviera Teekay Gas III, S.L. and Naviera Teekay Gas IV, S.L. ("Spanish Credit Agreement") and in the Credit Agreement.

(iv) Permits. To the knowledge of such counsel after due inquiry, each of the Spanish Subsidiaries has such permits of governmental or regulatory authorities of Spain as are necessary to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business, subject to such qualifications as may be set forth in the Operating Subsidiaries' Organizational Documents and except for such permits which, if not obtained, reasonable could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect upon the ability or the Partnership and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to conduct their businesses in all material respects in the manner described in the Prospectus; and, to the knowledge of such counsel after due inquiry, none of the Spanish Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings in Spain relating to the revocation or modification of any such permits which, individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the ability of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to conduct their businesses in all material respects in the manner described in the Prospectus.

(l) The Underwriters shall have received from Baker Botts L.L.P., counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, with respect to such matters as the Underwriters may reasonably require, and the Partnership shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

(i) the representations and warranties of the Teekay Parties in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and each Teekay Party has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date;

(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to such officer's knowledge, threatened;

(o) The Partnership shall have requested and caused Ernst & Young LLP to have furnished to the Underwriters, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters, dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters, confirming that they are independent accountants

-31-

with respect to the Teekay Entities within the meaning of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and stating in effect that:

(i) in their opinion the audited financial statements and financial statement schedules included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and reported on by them comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related rules and regulations adopted by the Commission;

(ii) on the basis of a reading of the latest unaudited financial statements made available by the Partnership and its subsidiaries; carrying out certain specified procedures (but not an examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards) which would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments set forth in such letter; a reading of the minutes of the meetings of the members, partners, stockholders, directors, managers and committees of the Teekay Entities; and inquiries of certain officials of the Partnership who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Partnership and its subsidiaries as to transactions and events subsequent to June 30, 2005, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that:

(1) said unaudited financial statements are not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited financial statements included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus;

(2) (i) with respect to the period subsequent to June 30, 2005, there were any changes, at a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of the letter, in the long-term debt of the Partnership and its subsidiaries or decreases in the consolidated net current assets (working capital) or partners' equity of the Partnership and its subsidiaries as compared with the amounts shown on the June 30, 2005 consolidated balance sheet included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, or for the period from July 1, 2005 to such specified date (with respect to the Partnership and its subsidiaries) there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period during the preceding year in consolidated net revenues or net income of Luxco, its predecessors and subsidiaries (including, without limitation, Teekay Spain), except in all instances for changes or decreases set forth in such letter, in which case the letter shall be accompanied by an explanation by the Partnership as to the significance thereof unless said explanation is not deemed necessary by the Underwriters; or

(3) the information included in the Registration Statement and Prospectus in response to Form 20-F, Item 3A (Selected Financial Data) and Form 20-F, Item 6B (Compensation) is not in conformity with the applicable disclosure requirements of Form F-1 and Form 20-F;

(iii) they have performed certain other specified procedures as a result of which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical

-32-

nature (which is limited to accounting, financial or statistical information derived from the general accounting records of the Partnership and its subsidiaries) set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, including the information set forth under the captions "Prospectus Summary -- Summary Historical and Pro Forma Financial and Operating Data," "Capitalization," "Dilution," "Selected Historical and Pro Forma Financial and Operating Data," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Prospectus, agrees with the accounting records of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, excluding any questions of legal interpretation; and

(iv) on the basis of a reading of the unaudited pro forma financial statements included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (the "pro forma financial statements"); carrying out certain specified procedures; inquiries of certain officials of the Teekay Entities who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters; and proving the arithmetic accuracy of the application of the pro forma adjustments to the historical amounts in the pro forma financial statements, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that the pro forma financial statements do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X or that the pro forma adjustments have not been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of such statements.

References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (o) include any supplement thereto at the date of the letter.

(p) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (n) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, condition (financial or otherwise), stockholders' equity, partners' equity, members' equity, results of operations, business, properties, assets or prospects of the Teekay 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 Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Underwriters, 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) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(q) Prior to the Closing Date, the Teekay Entities shall have furnished to the Underwriters such further information, certificates and documents as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

(r) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the debt securities of any of the Teekay Entities, if applicable, by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

-33-

(s) The Units shall have been listed and admitted and authorized for trading on the NYSE subject to official notice of issuance, and satisfactory evidence of such actions shall have been provided to the Underwriters.

(t) At the Execution Time, the Partnership shall have furnished to the Underwriters a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto from the executive officers and directors of the General Partner addressed to the Underwriters.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Underwriters. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Partnership in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

7. Reimbursement of Underwriter's Expenses. If the sale of the Units provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriter set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Teekay Parties to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Teekay Parties will reimburse the Underwriters severally through Citigroup Global Markets Inc. on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Units.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Teekay Parties, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of the Units as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon 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, and agrees to 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 Teekay 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 Teekay Parties by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein. This

-34-

indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Teekay Parties may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Teekay Parties, each of their respective directors, each of their respective officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Teekay Parties within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the indemnity in Section 8(a) from the Teekay Parties to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Teekay Parties by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Teekay Parties acknowledge that (i) the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Units and, under the heading "Underwriting," (ii) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Units, (iii) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances, and (iv) the paragraphs related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions, penalty bids and electronic online distributions constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.

(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 one separate counsel (in addition to 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 which 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 (which consent shall not be

-35-

unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), 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.

(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 Teekay Parties, severally and jointly, and the Underwriters severally agree 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 one or more of the Teekay Parties and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Teekay Parties on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the Offering; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Units) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Units purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Teekay Parties and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Teekay Parties on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Teekay Parties shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters 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 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 Teekay Parties on the one hand or the Underwriters 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 Teekay Parties and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which 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 an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls any of the Teekay Parties within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Teekay Parties who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Teekay Parties shall have the same rights to contribution as the Teekay Parties, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Units agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or

-36-

Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Firm Units set forth opposite their names on Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Firm Units set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Units which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Units which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Units set forth on Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Units, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Units, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Teekay Parties. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Teekay Parties and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriters, by notice given to the Partnership prior to delivery of and payment for the Units, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in the Partnership's Common Units shall have been suspended by the Commission or the NYSE, (ii) trading in securities generally on the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange, (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities 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 Underwriters, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Units as contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Teekay Parties or their officers and of the Underwriters 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 any Underwriter or the Teekay 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. The provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to the Citigroup Global Markets Inc. General Counsel (fax no.: (212) 816-7912) and confirmed to the General Counsel, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York, 10013, Attention:

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in
Section 8 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

14. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.

15. Judicial Proceedings.

(a) The Teekay Parties irrevocably (i) agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding against the Teekay Parties arising out of or based upon this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or alleged violations of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States may be instituted in any New York court, (ii) waive, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any New York court and (iii) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Teekay Parties has appointed Watson, Farley & Williams, New York, New York, as its authorized agent (the "AUTHORIZED AGENT"), upon whom process may be served in any such action arising out of or based on this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or any alleged violation of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States which may be instituted in any New York court, expressly consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such action, and waives any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. Such appointment shall be irrevocable. The Teekay Parties represent and warrant that the Authorized Agent has agreed to act as such agent for service of process and agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such service to the Teekay Parties shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Teekay Parties.

(b) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriters could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in the City of New York on the business day proceeding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Teekay Parties in respect of any sum due from it to the Underwriters shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by the Underwriters of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) the Underwriters may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency; if the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Underwriters hereunder, the Teekay Parties agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, that the party

-38-

responsible for such judgment shall indemnify the Underwriters against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to the Underwriters hereunder, the Underwriters agree to pay to the Teekay Parties an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to the Underwriters hereunder.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

17. Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

18. No Fiduciary Duty.

Furthermore, the Partnership agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the Offering (irrespective of whether the Underwriters have advised or are currently advising the Partnership on related or other matters).

4.4      CLOSING OBLIGATIONS NOT FULFILLED. If either party fails, for any
         reason, to comply with any of its obligations under the foregoing
         provisions of this Clause 4, the other party may, at its option:

(a)      by written notice to the first party defer the date for Closing by one
         or more periods that shall not exceed 20 (twenty) Business Days in
         aggregate in respect of either all of the parties' obligations under
         the foregoing provisions of this Clause 4 or such of those obligations
         that have not been complied with; or

(b)      proceed to Closing so far as practicable but without prejudice to the
         second party's rights (whether under this Agreement or the general law)
         as regards the obligations with which the first party has not complied;
         or

(c)      waive all or any of the obligations in question of the first party.

4.5      DEFERRED CLOSING. If Closing is deferred to another date in accordance
         with Clause 4.4(a), and Closing is effected, the provisions of this
         Agreement shall apply as if that other date were the Closing Date.

5        WARRANTIES

5.1      GENERAL. The Vendor represents, warrants and undertakes, subject to
         Clause 5.8, that each statement in Schedule A is at the date of this
         Agreement, and will (save as disclosed in writing not later than the
         time of Closing) at the Closing Date remain, true, accurate and not
         misleading in any respect on the basis that a reference to the Closing
         Date were substituted for any express or implied reference to the date
         of this Agreement in that Schedule.

5.2      CLAIMS. The Vendor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably covenants
         with the Purchaser that, subject always to the limitations set out in
         Clause 6, it will indemnify the Purchaser and the Companies against all
         Losses and Expenses that any of the Purchaser Group Companies or the
         Companies may suffer or incur or pay in enforcing its rights in
         connection with any matter referred to in this Agreement or any of the
         Transaction Documents including, without limitation:

         (i)      the disputing and/or settlement of any Claims and any steps
                  taken to avoid and advice sought in connection with any
                  actual, threatened or anticipated Claims;

         (ii)     any legal proceedings in which any of the Purchaser Group
                  Companies or the Companies makes a Claim; and

         (iii)    the enforcement of any such settlement or judgement.

5.3      RELIANCE ON WARRANTIES. The Vendor acknowledges that:

(a)      the Purchaser has been induced to enter and is entering into this
         Agreement and the other Transaction Documents on the basis of and in
         reliance upon the Warranties;

(b)      the Purchaser may rely on the Warranties to the exclusion of any other
         information, and that, with the exception of matters set forth in the
         Disclosure Schedule, the Purchaser's rights in respect thereof will not
         be in any way impaired as a result of any other information being
         possessed by or available to any Purchaser Group Companies or any
         officer, employee, professional or financial adviser of, or person
         acting on behalf of, the Purchaser or any Purchaser Group Companies.

7

5.4      WARRANTIES ARE SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT. Each Warranty shall be
         construed as a separate and independent warranty and, save as expressly
         provided otherwise, shall not be limited or restricted by reference to
         or inference from any other terms of this Agreement or any other
         Warranty.

5.5      REDUCTION IN CONSIDERATION. Any payments made by the Vendor to the
         Purchaser in respect of Claims shall, to the extent lawfully possible,
         be treated by the parties as a reduction in the Consideration;
         provided, however, that this Clause 5.5 shall not in any way limit or
         restrict the amount recoverable by the Purchaser or any other person
         under this agreement to the amount of the Consideration or any other
         amount (but this is without prejudice to the limitations set out in
         Clause 6).

5.6      AWARENESS OF VENDOR AND ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS. Where any Warranty
         is qualified by reference to the awareness, knowledge, information or
         belief of the Vendor (or any similar expression), the Vendor shall be
         deemed to have such awareness, knowledge, information or belief as it
         would have after having made reasonable enquiry of the senior executive
         managers and officers of the Vendor. In relation to each of the
         Warranties concerning the assets, liabilities, Contracts, Vessels or
         results of any of the Companies, such Warranties shall be deemed to be
         qualified by reference to exclude any matters (whether or not
         Disclosed) arising in the ordinary and normal course of trading since
         September 30, 2005.

5.7      PROVISION OF INFORMATION. The Vendor undertakes promptly to provide the
         Purchaser with any information that the Purchaser may by written notice
         request in relation to:

(a)      any of the Warranties or any statement of fact contained elsewhere in
         this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or

(b)      the Disclosure Schedule or any other disclosure made or information
         provided (or purportedly made or provided) under this Clause 5.7; or

(c)      any matter or question connected with or arising out of any of the
         foregoing,

         but this only applies to information that is (either at the date of the
         Agreement or at the date of the request) in the possession of the
         Vendor or that the Vendor or any of its professional advisers can
         reasonably be expected to obtain and present without undue efforts.

5.8      DISCLOSURE IN DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE. The Vendor shall not have any
         liability in respect of any Claim if and to the extent that any fact,
         matter or circumstance that causes any of the Warranties to be breached
         or that might result in a Claim or possible Claim has been Disclosed in
         the Disclosure Schedule or otherwise in any of the Transaction
         Documents.

5.9      NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL CLAIMS BEFORE CLOSING. If, at any time before
         Closing, the Vendor becomes aware of any Claim or any matter that could
         reasonably be expected to cause a Claim to arise or any matter that at
         Closing would constitute a Claim or could reasonably be expected to
         cause a Claim to arise, it shall forthwith disclose the same in writing
         to the Purchaser.

6        REMEDIES OF THE PURCHASER

6.1      SURVIVAL. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this
         Agreement and the Transaction Documents, the representations and
         warranties of the Vendor contained in

8

this Agreement (including the Schedules hereto), the Disclosure Schedule and the Transaction Documents shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect for a period of 12 months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) the Warranties in Clauses 1.2 (Title to Interests and the Notes), 1.3 (No arrangements relating to share capital), 11 (Taxation) and 12.1 (No brokers fees) of Schedule A to this Agreement shall survive until, and shall terminate upon, the date of expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the liability in question. The covenants and agreements of the Vendor contained in this Agreement and the Transactions Documents that by their terms extend beyond the Closing Date shall not terminate until all obligations with respect thereto have been performed or satisfied or shall have expired or been terminated in accordance with their terms.

6.2. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE VENDOR

(a) The Vendor agrees, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, to indemnify the Purchaser against and hold it harmless from any and all (i) Losses and Expenses to the Purchaser, any Purchaser Group Company or the Companies arising out of or related to the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Vendor in this Agreement (including the Schedules hereto), the Disclosure Schedule and the Transaction Documents, to the extent Vendor is notified by the Purchaser of such Losses or Expenses prior to expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Clause 6.1 above, (ii) any Covered Environmental Losses relating to the Assets to the extent that the Vendor is notified by the Purchaser of any such Covered Environmental Losses within five
(5) years after the Closing Date; (iii) Losses or Expenses to the Purchaser, the Purchaser Group Companies or the Companies arising from (A) the failure of the Purchaser Group Companies, immediately after the Closing Date, to be the owner of such ownership interests in and to the Assets as are necessary to enable the Purchaser Group Companies to own and operate the Assets in substantially the same manner that the Assets were owned and operated by the Vendor Group Companies immediately prior to the Closing Date or (B) the failure of the Purchaser Group Companies to have on the Closing Date any consent or governmental permit necessary to allow the Purchaser Group Companies to own or operate the Assets in substantially the same manner that the Assets were owned and operated by the Vendor Group Companies immediately prior to the Closing Date, in each of clauses (A) and (B) above, to the extent that the Vendor is notified by the Purchaser of such Losses or Expenses within three (3) years after the Closing Date; and (iv) all federal, state, foreign and local income tax liabilities attributable to the operation of the Assets prior to the Closing Date.

(b) The aggregate liability of Vendor under Clause 6.2(a) above shall not exceed $10 million. Furthermore, no claim may be made against Vendor for indemnification pursuant to Clause 6.2(a) unless the aggregate dollar amount of all claims for indemnification pursuant to such clause shall exceed $500,000, in which case Vendor shall be liable for claims for indemnification only to the extent such aggregate amount exceeds $500,000.

6.3. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a) The Purchaser agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Clause 6.2, it will provide notice thereof in writing to Vendor specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim.

9

(b) Vendor shall have the right to control all aspects of the defence of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against Purchaser, the Purchaser Group Companies or the Companies that are covered by the indemnification set forth in Clause 6.2, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Purchaser (with the concurrence of the conflicts committee of Teekay GP L.L.C.) unless it includes a full release of the Purchaser, the Purchaser Group Companies and the Companies from such matter or issues, as the case may be.

(c) The Purchaser agrees to cooperate fully with Vendor with respect to all aspects of the defence of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in Clause 6.2, including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to Vendor of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Purchaser, the Purchaser Group Companies or the Companies may receive, permitting the names of such parties to be utilized in connection with such defence, the making available to Vendor of any files, records or other information of such parties that Vendor considers relevant to such defence and the making available to Vendor of any employees of Purchaser, the Purchaser Group Companies or the Companies; provided, however, that in connection therewith Vendor agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of such parties and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished by any such party pursuant to this Clause 6.3. In no event shall the obligation of the Purchaser to cooperate with Vendor as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the Purchaser an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defence of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Clause 6; provided, however, that the Purchaser may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defence. Vendor agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Purchaser reasonably informed as to the status of any such defence (including providing such counsel with such information related to any such defence as such counsel may reasonably request) but Vendor shall have the right to retain sole control over such defence.

(d) In determining the amount of any Loss or Expense for which the Purchaser, any Purchaser Group Company or any Company is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by such parties, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by such parties as a result of such claim, and (ii) all amounts recovered by such parties under contractual indemnities from third persons. The Purchaser hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to realize any applicable insurance proceeds or amounts recoverable under such contractual indemnities; provided, however, that the costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) of Purchaser, the Purchaser Group Companies or the Companies in connection with such efforts shall be promptly reimbursed by Vendor in advance of any determination of whether such insurance proceeds or other amounts will be recoverable.

(e) The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Clause 6. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Purchaser hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against Vendor and the Vendor Group Companies arising under or based upon any federal, state, foreign or local statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation

10

         (including, without limitation, any such rights, claims or causes of
         action arising under or based upon common law or otherwise).

7        IMPLEMENTATION

7.1      FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Vendor shall (and shall procure that any other
         relevant person shall) execute any deeds or documents and exercise or
         waive any rights and generally take any action, including passing (or
         procuring that there is passed) any resolution of Vendor or (whilst the
         Vendor remains the registered owner) the Companies that the Purchaser
         may reasonably require, which may be necessary for the Transaction
         Documents to be carried into effect.

8        COSTS

8.1      RESPONSIBILITY FOR COSTS. Except where expressly provided otherwise,
         each party shall pay its own costs connected with the negotiation,
         preparation, execution and implementation of the Transaction Documents
         and any matters connected therewith and investigating the affairs of
         the Companies.

8.2      CREDIT FACILITY PAYMENT. Upon the closing of the credit facility
         contemplated by the Credit Facility Commitment, the Purchaser shall pay
         to the Vendor a credit facility financing fee of US$627,539.00 by
         transferring such amount to the Vendor's Account.

9        OTHER PROVISIONS

9.1      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement together with the other Transaction
         Documents constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
         regarding the sale and purchase of the Assets and related matters and
         supersedes any prior drafts, agreements, undertakings, representations,
         warranties and arrangements of any kind, whether or not in writing,
         regarding the same, all of which are hereby terminated and shall cease
         to have effect in all respects, and the parties confirm that there are
         no collateral or supplemental agreements relating to the Transaction
         Documents, except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

9.2      ASSIGNMENT.

(a)      This Agreement shall be binding on and endure for the benefit of each
         party's successors and permitted assigns. Save as provided in Clause
         9.2(b), no party shall, without the prior written consent of the other
         party, assign, transfer, charge or deal in any other manner with this
         Agreement or any of its rights (whether to damages or otherwise) or
         obligations arising under or in connection with the Agreement, or
         purport to do any of the same, nor sub-contract any or all of its
         obligations under this Agreement, and any such assignment, transfer,
         charge or dealing shall be void for all purposes.

(b)      The Purchaser may assign all or any part of its rights and benefits
         under this Agreement to any Purchaser Group Companies.

(c)      Subject to and upon any succession or assignment permitted by this
         Agreement, any such successor or assignee shall in its own right be
         able to enforce any term of this Agreement in accordance with the terms
         of this Agreement as if it were a party, but until such time shall have
         no rights whether as a third party or otherwise. The Vendor shall have
         no greater liabilities towards any successor or assignee of the
         Purchaser than it

11

would have had to the Purchaser had the Purchaser remained fully and solely entitled under this Agreement.

9.3 RIGHT OF SET-OFF, DEDUCTIONS AND WITHHOLDINGS AND TAX ON PAYMENTS.

(a) The Purchaser shall not be entitled to set off against the Consideration any sums owing to it by the Vendor.

(b) If any deduction or withholding is required by law to be made from any payment from one party to another party under any Transaction Document, the party making the payment shall increase the amount thereof so as to ensure that the recipient receives and is able to retain that amount that it would have received and retained had the payment not been the subject matter of such deduction or withholding provided always that if the recipient is entitled to a credit or some other benefit as a consequence of the payment to it being the subject matter of a deduction or withholding it shall use its reasonable endeavours to utilise the credit (whether by set off, or by claiming a repayment in respect thereof, or otherwise) or benefit so arising and in the event that it is able so to do it shall repay to the party who made the payment an amount equal to the credit or benefit so utilised, provided always that this clause is without prejudice to the limitations on the Vendor's liabilities as set out in Clause 6. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause shall not impose upon the recipient of the payment any obligation to utilise any credit or benefit in priority to any other economic credit or benefit available to it or to pay to the party making the payment an amount greater than that by which the original payment was increased under this clause.

(c) If any payment from the Vendor to the Purchaser under any Transaction Document is liable to Tax in the hands of the Purchaser, the Vendor shall increase the payment by such an amount as will ensure that the Purchaser is able to receive and retain, after paying Tax in respect of its receipt, an amount equal to that which would otherwise have been paid to it had the receipt not been subject to Tax in its hands, provided always that this clause is without prejudice to the limitations on the Vendor's liabilities as set out in Clause 6. The parties shall agree to the amount of any increase in a relevant payment to give effect to this Clause. In the event that the parties are not able to agree the amount of any increase, the amount thereof shall be certified by the Purchaser's auditors acting as experts whose decision in respect thereof shall be binding on the relevant parties except in the case of manifest error.

9.4 WAIVERS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of either party to this Agreement in exercising any right or remedy provided by law or under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or operate as a waiver or variation of it or preclude its exercise at any subsequent time and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude or restrict any other or further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

(b) A waiver by either party to this Agreement of a breach of or default under any Transaction Document shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach or default, shall not affect the other terms of any Transaction Document or the rights of any other person thereto and shall not prevent the Purchaser from subsequently requiring compliance with the waived obligation.

(c) Any waiver (in whole or in part) of any right or remedy under this Agreement must be set out in writing, signed by or on behalf of the person granting the waiver and may be given subject to any conditions thought fit by the grantor and, unless otherwise expressly

12

         stated, any waiver shall be effective only in the instance and only for
         the purpose for, and in favour of the person to, which it is given.

(d)      Unless specifically provided otherwise, the rights and remedies of the
         Purchaser and the Vendor under or pursuant to any Transaction Document
         are cumulative, may be exercised as often as the Purchaser or the
         Vendor, as applicable considers appropriate and are in addition to its
         rights and remedies under the general law.

9.5      VARIATIONS. No variation of any Transaction Document shall be valid
         unless it is agreed in writing and signed by or on behalf of each of
         the parties thereto.

9.6      EFFECT OF CLOSING. This Agreement (other than obligations that have
         already been fully performed) remains in full force after Closing.

9.7      PROVISIONS OF AGREEMENT SEVERABLE. If any provisions of this Agreement
         or any other Transaction Document is, or becomes, invalid,
         unenforceable or illegal, in whole or in part, under the laws of any
         jurisdiction, such term or provision or part shall to that extent be
         deemed not to form part of this Agreement or the relevant Transaction
         Document (as the case may be), but the validity, enforceability or
         legality of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the relevant
         Transaction Document shall not be impaired.

9.8      INTEREST FOR LATE PAYMENT. Any sum owing by either party under this
         Agreement shall carry interest from (and excluding) the date on which
         it is payable until (and including) the date of actual payment at the
         Specified Rate; such interest will be compounded semi-annually and be
         payable after as well as before any judgment.

9.9      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement and each of the other Transaction
         Documents may be entered into in any number of counterparts and by the
         parties thereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so
         executed and delivered shall be an original but each such Transaction
         Document shall not be effective until each party thereto has executed
         at least one counterpart, but all the counterparts for each Transaction
         Document shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

9.10     THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
         are made for the benefit of the respective parties hereto and thereto
         and their successors and permitted assigns only and are not intended to
         benefit, and no term thereof shall be enforceable by, any other person
         by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
