|
The Units are to be sold on a daily basis or otherwise as shall be agreed to by the Partnership and the Manager on any day that (A) is a trading day for the NYSE, (B) the Partnership has instructed the
Manager by telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic mail) to make such sales and (C) the Partnership has satisfied its obligations under Section 6 of this Agreement. The Partnership will designate the maximum amount of the Units to be
sold by the Manager daily as agreed to by the Manager (in any event not in excess of the amount available for issuance under the Prospectus and the currently effective Registration Statement) and the minimum price per Unit at which such Units may be
sold. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Manager shall use its reasonable efforts to sell on a particular day all of the Units designated for the sale by the Partnership on such day. The gross sales price of the Units sold under this
Section 3.1 shall be the market price for the Partnership’s Common Units sold by the Manager under this Section 3.1 on the NYSE at the time of sale of such Units. In any event, the Manager cannot and will not sell fractional Units.
|
|
|
b)
|
The Partnership acknowledges and agrees that (A) there can be no assurance that the Manager will be successful in selling the Units, (B) the Manager will incur no liability or obligation to the

mail), suspend or terminate the offering of the Units for any reason and at any
|
19
|
|
time;
provided
,
however
, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Units sold hereunder prior to
the giving of such notice. During any such period of suspension, the Partnership shall not be obligated to deliver (or cause to be delivered) any of the documents referred to in Sections 4.11 – 4.23, be deemed to affirm any of the
representations or warranties contained in this Agreement pursuant to Sections 2 or 4 hereof, or be obligated to conduct any due diligence session as referred to in Section 4.24 until the termination of the suspension and the

at a price agreed upon at the relevant Applicable Time pursuant to a Terms Agreement. The remaining proceeds, after further deduction for any transaction fees imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales (the
“
Transaction Fees
”), shall constitute the net proceeds to the Partnership for such Units (the “
Net Proceeds
”).
|
|

Units. Settlement for all such Units shall be effected by free delivery of the Units to the Manager’s or the Manager’s designee’s account at The Depository Trust Company (“
DTC

to sell the Units on behalf of the Partnership shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Partnership herein, to the performance by the Partnership of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing
satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 6 of this Agreement.

any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussions with the Partnership wishes to accept amended terms, the Manager and the Partnership will enter into a Terms Agreement setting forth the terms of such Placement. The terms set forth in a
Terms Agreement will not be binding on the Partnership or the Manager unless and until the Partnership and the Manager have each executed such Terms Agreement accepting all of the terms of such Terms Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the
terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement will control.

Indemnification and Contribution
.
|
|
7.1
|
The Partnership agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Manager, the directors, officers, employees and agents
of the Manager and each person who controls the Manager 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 Prospectus, Base Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, or in any amendment
thereof or supplement
|
34
|
|
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 Partnership will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action 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 by or on behalf of the Manager specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood that such information shall
consist solely of the information described in Section 7.2 below. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Partnership may otherwise have.
|
|
|
7.2
|
The Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, its directors, officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Partnership within the meaning of either the Act or the
Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to the Manager, but only with reference to written information relating to the Manager furnished to the Partnership by or on behalf of the Manager specifically for
inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Manager may otherwise have.
|
|
|
7.3
|
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 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 7, 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 Section 7.1 or 7.2 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 Section 7.1 or 7.2. 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
|
35
|
|
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, 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 (it being
understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one action or series of related actions in the same jurisdiction representing the
indemnified parties who are parties to such action). An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be 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.
|
|
|
7.4
|
In the event that the indemnity provided in Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 is unavailable to or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Partnership and the Manager agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending the same) (collectively “
Losses
”) to which the Partnership and the Manager may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership on the one hand
and by the Manager on the other hand from the offering of the Units;
provided
,
however
, that in no case shall the Manager be responsible for any amount in excess of total discounts and commissions received by the Manager with respect
to the offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreements. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Partnership and the Manager severally shall contribute in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Partnership on the one hand and of the Manager 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 Partnership shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership from sales of the Units pursuant to this
Agreement and any Terms Agreements, and benefits received by the Manager shall be deemed to be equal to the total discounts and commissions received by the Manager in connection therewith. 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
|
36
|
|
on the one hand or the Manager 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 and the Manager 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 Section 7.4, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls the Manager within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Manager shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Manager, and each person who controls the Partnership within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Partnership who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Partnership
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Partnership, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 7.4.
|
8.

discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 5, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14 and 15 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
such termination.

8.3
|
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties;

|
8.4
|

provided
that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of

Section 3.1(g) of this Agreement.
|
37
|
|
8.5
|
In the case of any purchase of Units by the Manager pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the obligations of the Manager pursuant to such Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination, in the absolute discretion of the

or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by
Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) 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 Manager, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Units as contemplated by the Prospectus.
|

representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Partnership or its officers and of the Manager set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by the

The Partnership’s offering, issuance and sale of the Common Units, and the Partnership’s execution and delivery of the Equity Distribution Agreement, and consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Equity Distribution Agreement do not (a) violate statutory or regulatory U.S. federal laws or statutory or regulatory laws of the State of New York that counsel exercising customary professional judgment would in our experience reasonably
recognize as typically applicable to agreements similar to the Equity Distribution Agreement and transactions similar to the transactions contemplated by the Equity Distribution Agreement, or (b) conflict with or constitute a breach or
violation of, or a default under (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default), any Material Agreement. (We do not comment or opine as to compliance with any financial covenants or financial ratios
contained in any such documents.) “
Material Agreement

thereto made by the Partnership prior to the date hereof (other than exhibits thereto and the financial statements and financial schedules, and other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which we express no opinion), when
they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, each of such documents appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder.

A judgment granted by a foreign court against the Partnership, other than a judgment for taxes, a fine or other penalty, or a judgment for support in matrimonial matters, may be recognized in the Republic of the
Marshall Islands, to the extent that the foreign judgment grants or denies recovery of a sum of money, and so long as the judgment is final and conclusive and enforceable where rendered even though an appeal therefrom is pending, or subject to
appeal (although the court may stay proceedings until the relevant appeal has been determined or until the expiration of a period of time sufficient to enable the defendant to prosecute the appeal). A foreign judgment is not conclusive if:
(i) the judgment was rendered under a system which does not provide impartial tribunals or procedures compatible with the requirements of due process of law, (ii) the foreign court did not have personal jurisdiction over the defendant,
(iii) the foreign court did not have jurisdiction over the subject matter, or (iv) the foreign court does not recognize or enforce the judgments of any other foreign nation. A foreign judgment need not be recognized if: (i) the
defendant in the proceedings in the foreign court did not receive notice of the proceedings in sufficient time to enable him to defend, (ii) the judgment was obtained by fraud, (iii) the cause of action on which the judgment is based is
repugnant to the public policy of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, (iv) the judgment conflicts with another final and conclusive judgment, (v) the proceeding in the foreign court was contrary to an agreement between the parties under
which the dispute in question was to be settled otherwise than by proceedings in the court, or (vi) in the case of jurisdiction based only on personal service, the foreign court was a seriously inconvenient forum for the trial of the action.
