ARTICLE II

MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

2.1 Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, Partnership, General Partner or any holder of Common Units:

(a) All of the shares of common stock of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into limited partner interests in Partnership, representing the sole limited partner interests of the Partnership excluding the Preferred Units.

(b) The General Partner Interest in Partnership issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain outstanding in the Surviving Entity in the form set forth in the Existing Partnership Agreement, and General Partner, as the holder of the General Partner Interest, will continue as the sole general partner of the Surviving Entity as set forth in the Existing Partnership Agreement. At the Effective Time, the books and records of Partnership will be revised to reflect that all limited partners of Partnership immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than holders of Preferred Units) shall cease to be limited partners of Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that Parent is the sole limited partner of Partnership, and Partnership will continue without dissolution.

(c) Each Common Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any Excluded Units) will be converted into the right to receive cash in amount of US$17.00 per Common Unit (the “Merger Consideration”), for an aggregate payment by Parent of US$1,485,776,880 for all of the Common Units (excluding any Excluded Units) inclusive of the incentive awards described in Section 2.3(d), subject to any additional units as consented to in writing by Parent pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(ii).

(d) As of the Effective Time, each Incentive Equity Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be vested, cancelled and converted in settlement and cancellation thereof, into the right to receive, and the Partnership shall pay to each former holder of any such Incentive Equity Award, with respect to each Incentive Equity Award, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration and (ii) the number of Common Units subject to such Incentive Equity Award held by such holder, less applicable withholding Taxes on the first regularly scheduled payroll date for the Partnership that is at least five (5) business days following the Effective Time, subject to the receipt of customary releases in favor of the Partnership.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, all Common Units owned immediately prior to the Effective Time by Partnership or its wholly owned Subsidiaries or by Parent or its wholly owned Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Excluded Units”) will automatically be cancelled and no consideration will be received therefor.

4

(f) If, during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, any change shall occur in the outstanding Common Units or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Units by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split), stock dividend or combination, exchange, readjustment or similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration on a per unit basis shall be appropriately adjusted; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.1(f) shall be construed to permit the Partnership to take any action that is otherwise expressly prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Each Preferred Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will continue to be outstanding immediately following the Merger.

2.2 Rights As Unitholders; Unit Transfers. All Common Units converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c) will cease to be outstanding and will automatically be canceled and will cease to exist when converted as a result of and pursuant to the Merger. At the Effective Time, each holder of a certificate representing Common Units (a “Certificate”) and each holder of non-certificated Common Units, represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Units”) will cease to be a limited partner of Partnership and cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive (a) the Merger Consideration, and (b) any distributions in accordance with Section 2.3(c). In addition, holders as of the relevant record date of Common Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will have continued rights to any distribution, without interest, with respect to such Common Units, with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared or made by Partnership with respect to such units in accordance with the terms of the Existing Partnership Agreement and this Agreement and which remains unpaid as of the Effective Time (a “Regular Distribution”). Regular Distributions by Partnership are not part of the Merger Consideration, and will be paid on the payment date set therefor to such holders of Common Units, whether or not they exchange their Common Units, pursuant to Section 2.3. At the Effective Time, the unit transfer books of Partnership will be closed immediately and there will be no further registration of transfers on the unit transfer books of Partnership with respect to Common Units.

2.3 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent will appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Partnership to act as exchange agent hereunder for the purpose of exchanging Common Units for the Merger Consideration as required by this Article II (the “Exchange Agent”). On the Closing Date, promptly after the Effective Time, Parent will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of the applicable Common Units, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Exchange Agent, cash as required by this Article II and Section 4.6. Parent agrees to make available to the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay any distributions pursuant to Section 2.3(c). Any cash deposited with the Exchange Agent is hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Agent will, pursuant to irrevocable instructions from Parent, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be paid for Common Units pursuant to this Agreement out of the Exchange Fund. Except as contemplated by Sections 2.3(c) and 2.3(d), the Exchange Fund will not be used for any other purpose. The Exchange Agent shall invest all cash included in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall be limited to (i) direct short term obligations of,

5

or short term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interests by, the United States government, (ii) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or equivalent rating, or (iii) bank accounts with commercial banks with Tier 1 Capital exceeding US$1 billion or with an average rating above investment grade. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent or the Surviving Entity upon demand. Parent and the Surviving Entity shall promptly replace any funds deposited with the Exchange Agent lost through any investment made pursuant to this Section 2.3(a). Nothing contained herein and no investment losses resulting from investment of the Exchange Fund shall diminish the rights of any holder of Common Units to receive Merger Consideration.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within two (2) business days thereafter), Parent will instruct the Exchange Agent to mail or otherwise deliver to each record holder of Common Units as of the Effective Time (other than holders of Excluded Units and other than any holders of Book-Entry Units) (i) a letter of transmittal (specifying that in respect of certificated Common Units, delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and which will be in customary form and agreed to by Parent and Partnership prior to the Effective Time) and (ii) instructions (in customary form and agreed to by Parent and Partnership prior to the Effective Time) for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of Common Units represented by such Certificates. Promptly after the Effective Time, upon surrender of Certificates, if any, for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letters of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, each holder who held Common Units immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than holders of Excluded Units) will be entitled to receive upon surrender of the Certificates therefor a check in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the cash that such holder has the right to receive with respect to such Common Units pursuant to Section 2.3(c) and Section 2.3(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Units shall not be required to deliver an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Units, which at the Effective Time were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, shall automatically upon the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, a check in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the cash that such holder has the right to receive with respect to such Common Units pursuant to Section 2.3(c) and Section 2.3(d) in exchange for a customary letter of transmittal if reasonably requested by Parent. No interest will be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration or any Regular Distribution. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Common Units that is not registered in the transfer records of Partnership or the Merger Consideration, as applicable, and any Parent distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(c) payable in respect of such Common Units may be paid to a transferee, if the Certificate representing such Common Units is presented to the Exchange Agent, and accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and the Person requesting such exchange will pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the delivery of the Merger Consideration, in any name other than that of the record holder of such Common Units, or will establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Taxes have been paid or are not payable. Until such required documentation has been delivered and Certificates, if any, have been surrendered, as contemplated by this Section

6

2.3, each Certificate will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such delivery and surrender the Merger Consideration, payable in respect of Common Units, and any cash or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(c), Section 2.3(d) and (without the necessity of such surrender) Regular Distributions.

(c) Further Rights in Common Units and Incentive Equity Awards. The Merger Consideration issued upon conversion of a Common Unit or Incentive Equity Award in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.3(d)) and any declared distributions to be paid on Common Units will be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Common Unit.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Common Units after 180 days following the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent upon demand by Parent and, from and after such delivery, any former holders of Common Units who have not theretofore complied with this Article II will thereafter look only to Parent for the Merger Consideration, payable in respect of such Common Units without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (x) none of the Parent, the Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Person for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law, and (y) any portion of the Merger Consideration or the cash to be paid in accordance with this Article II that remains undistributed to the holders of Common Units or otherwise as of the third anniversary of the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Merger Consideration or such cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, become the property of Parent or an Affiliate thereof designated by Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of an indemnity agreement or a bond, in such amount reasonably determined by Parent, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration, payable in respect of Common Units represented by such Certificate, and any distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(c).

(f) Withholding. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Exchange Agent are entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Common Units such amounts or securities as Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent determines are required to be deducted and withheld under the Code or any provision of state, local, or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment or issuance. To the extent that amounts or securities are so deducted and withheld such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid or issued to the holder of Common Units in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

7

(g) No Dissenters Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger or the other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Partnership has made available to Parent and Merger Sub, and may continue to make available, certain estimates, projections and other forecasts for the business of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries and certain plan and budget information. Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that these estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets and the assumptions on which they are based were prepared for specific purposes and may vary significantly from each other. Further, each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets, that Parent and Merger Sub are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets so furnished to them (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets), and that neither Parent nor Merger Sub is relying on any estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or budgets furnished by the General Partner, the Partnership, the Partnership Subsidiaries, the Partnership Affiliates or the Partnership JV’s or their respective Representatives or the accuracy or completeness thereof, and neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Representatives not to, hold any such Person liable with respect thereto.

The General Partner and the Partnership shall promptly (x) cause (to the extent it has not already done so prior to the date of this Agreement) any Person that has executed a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement in connection with any Partnership Competing Proposal or Partnership Inquiry that remains in effect as of the date of this Agreement to return or destroy all confidential information in the possession of such Person or its Representatives in accordance with such non-disclosure agreement and (y) terminate access by any other Person and its Representatives to any physical or electronic data room or other access to data or information by the General Partner and the Partnership, in each case, relating to or in connection with, any Partnership Competing Proposal or Partnership Inquiry.

For purposes of this Section 5.2, the term “Person” means any Person or “group,” as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than, with respect to the General Partner or the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the General Partner and the Partnership and their respective Representatives may in any event (A) seek to clarify and understand the terms and conditions of any Partnership Competing Proposal (or amended proposal) solely to determine whether such Partnership Competing Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Partnership Superior Proposal and (B) inform a Person that has made a Partnership Competing Proposal or an inquiry, proposal or offer which would reasonably be expected to lead to a Partnership Competing Proposal of the provisions of this Section 5.2, in each case, so long as the General Partner and the Partnership and their respective Representatives otherwise comply with this Section 5.2 in connection therewith.

(b) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 5.2(a), if the General Partner or the Partnership receives, after the date hereof and prior to the receipt of the Partnership Unitholder Approval, a bona fide, unsolicited, written Partnership Competing Proposal from any Person that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.2, which the General Partner Board of Directors determines (upon the recommendation of the Conflicts Committee) in good faith after consultation with the Conflicts Committee and General Partner’s outside legal and financial advisors, constitutes a Partnership Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to lead to a Partnership Superior Proposal, then, subject to compliance with Section 5.2(c), Partnership may take the following actions: (x) furnish nonpublic information that was previously furnished to Parent to the Person making such Partnership Competing Proposal, if, and only if, prior to so furnishing such information, Partnership receives from such Person an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (and provides a copy of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement to Parent) and (y) engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person with respect to the Partnership Competing Proposal.

42

(c) The Partnership shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than two (2) business days) after receipt of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Partnership Competing Proposal, or any inquiry or request for nonpublic information relating to General Partner or the Partnership by any Person who has made or would reasonably be expected to make any Partnership Competing Proposal (each of the foregoing, a “Partnership Inquiry”). Such notice shall be made orally and confirmed in writing, and shall indicate the identity of the Person making the Partnership Inquiry or with whom the General Partner or the Partnership is engaging in discussions or negotiations, and the material terms (including price) and conditions of any such Partnership Inquiry or the nature of the information requested pursuant to such Partnership Inquiry. In addition, Partnership shall promptly (but in any event within two (2) business days) after the receipt thereof, provide to Parent copies of any proposed draft agreements and other written documentation material to understanding any Partnership Competing Proposal or Partnership Inquiry which is received by Partnership from any Person (or from any Representatives of such Person) making such Partnership Competing Proposal or Partnership Inquiry or with whom discussions or negotiations would reasonably be expected to lead to a Partnership Competing Proposal. The Partnership shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status and material terms and conditions (including any amendments or proposed amendments to such material terms or conditions) of any such Partnership Competing Proposal or Partnership Inquiry and keep Parent reasonably informed as to the nature of any information requested of the General Partner and the Partnership or any of their respective Representatives with respect thereto.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2 (other than Section 5.2(e)) or Section 5.5 to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of the Partnership Unitholder Approval, the General Partner Board of Directors may make a Partnership Change of Recommendation following receipt of a bona fide, unsolicited, written Partnership Competing Proposal, which the General Partner Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with the Conflicts Committee and the Partnership’s outside legal and financial advisors is a Partnership Superior Proposal, in each case, if and only if, (x) neither Partnership nor any of its Representatives solicited, encouraged or facilitated such Partnership Competing Proposal in breach of, or is otherwise in breach of, the provisions of this Section 5.2, and (y) the General Partner Board of Directors has determined in good faith after consultation with the Partnership’s outside legal counsel that the failure to take such action would constitute a breach of their contractual obligations under Section 7.9 of the Existing Partnership Agreement or their fiduciary duties of the members of the General Partner Board of Directors under applicable Republic of the Marshall Islands Law.

(e) Prior to General Partner Board of Directors making a Partnership Change of Recommendation, the General Partner shall provide Parent with five (5) business days’ prior written notice (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment to the applicable Partnership Competing Proposal shall require a new notice and an additional three (3) business day period) advising Parent that the General Partner Board of Directors intends to take such action and contemporaneously providing to Parent a copy of the Partnership Superior Proposal, a copy of any proposed agreements for such Partnership Superior Proposal (including any financing commitments related thereto) and indicating the identity of the Person making such Partnership Competing Proposal (or, in each case, if not provided in writing to the General Partner or any of its Representatives, a written summary of the terms thereof), and during such initial five (5) business day or subsequent three (3) business day period, (x) the General Partner shall negotiate, and cause its Representatives to negotiate, with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate) to enable Parent to determine whether to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement related to the Transactions such that such Partnership Competing Proposal would no longer constitute a Partnership Superior Proposal and (y) General Partner shall consider in good faith any proposal by Parent to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other agreement related to the Transactions such that such Partnership Competing Proposal would no longer constitute a Partnership Superior Proposal.

(f) Subject to Parent’s rights pursuant to Section 8.1 and Section 8.2(b), and compliance with the other provisions of this Section 5.2 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the General Partner or the General Partner Board of Directors from (i) complying with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to disclosures to the Partnership’s Common Unitholders, or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Common Unitholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act limited to the information specified in such rule; provided that this Section 5.2(f) shall not permit the General Partner Board of Directors to make a Partnership Change of Recommendation except in compliance with Section 5.2(d) and Section 5.2(e) or take any other action with respect to any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to constitute a Partnership Competing Proposal except to the extent such action is explicitly permitted by the other paragraphs of this Section 5.2, and for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood and agreed that the fact that a disclosure or other action may be deemed permissible by virtue of this Section 5.2(f) does not in and of itself mean that such disclosure or other action does not constitute a Partnership Change of Recommendation.

5.3 Preparation of the Proxy Statement; Partnership Special Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement and in all events within twenty (20) business days following the date hereof, Partnership shall prepare the Proxy Statement and in consultation with Parent set a record date for the requisite meeting of the Common Unitholders. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement will be made by Partnership without providing Parent (and its Representatives) a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and the Partnership will consider and reflect in good faith any comments reasonably proposed by Parent. General Partner and Partnership will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the information relating to Partnership and its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, officers and directors in the Proxy Statement will not on the date the Proxy Statement (and any amendment or supplement thereto) is first mailed to the Common Unitholders, contain any untrue statement of any material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, at the time and in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not false or misleading.

(b) If any information relating to General Partner or the Partnership respectively, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by General Partner or the Partnership, in the reasonable judgment of General Partner should be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, General Partner shall promptly notify Parent, and General Partner shall promptly file with the SEC of any necessary amendment of, or supplement to the Proxy Statement to the extent required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to Common Unitholders. Nothing in this Section 5.3(b) shall limit the obligations of any Party under Section 5.3(a). For purposes of this Section 5.3, any information concerning or related to Partnership, its Affiliates or the Partnership Special Meeting will be deemed to have been provided by Partnership.

44

(c) Partnership shall, in accordance with applicable Law and the Partnership Governing Documents, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of the Partnership Special Meeting as promptly as practicable and mail the Proxy Statement the Common Unitholders of Partnership entitled to vote at the Partnership Special Meeting and hold the Partnership Special Meeting as soon as practicable after the date hereof. Partnership shall, through the General Partner Board of Directors, make the General Partner Board Recommendation, include such General Partner Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Partnership Unitholder Approval, except in each case to the extent that the General Partner Board of Directors shall have made a Partnership Change of Recommendation as permitted by Section 5.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(c), Partnership shall have the right, following consultation with Parent, to make (and, if so requested by Parent, shall be required to make) one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Partnership Special Meeting of not more than fifteen (15) days individually (i) if, on a date for which the Partnership Special Meeting is scheduled, Partnership has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Common Units to obtain the Partnership Unitholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, or (ii) if such adjournment or postponement is required by applicable Law, including to the extent such adjournment or postponement is required under applicable Law to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided or made available to Common Unitholders or to permit dissemination of information which is material to Common Unitholders voting at the Partnership Special Meeting and to give Common Unitholders sufficient time to evaluate any such supplement or amendment or other information; provided that the Partnership Special Meeting shall not be postponed or adjourned to a date that is in the aggregate more than thirty (30) days after the date for which the Partnership Special Meeting was originally scheduled (without giving effect to any postponement). Once Partnership has established a record date for the Partnership Special Meeting, Partnership shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Partnership Special Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent, unless, following consultation with Parent, required to do so by applicable Law or the Partnership Governing Documents. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of the Merger Agreement shall be the only matter (other than matters of procedure, matters required by applicable Law to be voted on by Partnership’s Common Unitholders in connection with the authorization of the Merger Agreement and, if applicable, a “Say-on-Golden-Parachute” vote) that Partnership shall propose to be acted on by the Common Unitholders of Partnership at the Partnership Special Meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Partnership Special Meeting shall be convened and the Merger Agreement shall be submitted for authorization by the Common Unitholders of Partnership at the Partnership Special Meeting, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Partnership of such obligation.

5.4 No Control of General Partner and Partnership’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give either Parent or Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the business or operations of General Partner or the Partnership or any Partnership Subsidiary or Partnership JV prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each of the General Partner, the Partnership, any Partnership Subsidiary and Partnership JV shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective business and operations.

(d) No access, rights to inspection, information or notice delivered by either Party or any of their respective Representatives shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive any of the representations or warranties of the other Party set forth in this Agreement or be deemed to amend or update the Partnership Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter or cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to any Party. The failure to deliver any notice pursuant to Section 6.1(c) shall not affect any of the conditions set forth in Article VII or give rise to any right to terminate under Article VIII, except for any such failure that constitutes a Willful Breach of this Agreement..

6.2 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, including (i) (A) preparing and filing, in consultation with the other Party, all necessary or advisable applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents required to be prepared or filed by such Party as promptly as practicable and advisable after the date hereof, and (B) using its reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable and advisable and in any event prior to the Outside Date all waiting period expirations or terminations, consents, clearances, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained by such Party from any Governmental Entity (including under Antitrust Laws or any foreign direct investment laws) in order to consummate the Merger or any of the other Transactions, and (ii) cooperating with the other Party required to file such applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents by using its reasonable best efforts to take all steps as may be necessary in connection therewith, including providing all necessary information and assistance reasonably requested by such Party.

(c) Each of Parent on one hand, and the General Partner and the Partnership, on the other hand, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the expiration or termination of all waiting periods and all consents, waivers, authorizations and approvals of all Governmental Entities necessary, proper or advisable for the consummation of the Transactions and to provide any notices to Governmental Entities required to be provided prior to the Effective Time, excluding at Parent’s option selling, divesting, or otherwise disposing of, licensing, holding separate, or taking or committing to take any action that limits in any respect its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any business, products, rights, services, licenses, assets or properties of Parent or any of its equityholders or limited partners or its or their respective Affiliates, or of Partnership or any Partnership Subsidiary or Partnership JV, or any interest therein (any, a “Divestiture Action”); provided that neither the General Partner, the Partnership nor Parent shall, without the prior written consent of the other Party, incur any significant expense or liability, enter into any significant new commitment or agreement or agree to any significant modification to any contractual arrangement to obtain such consents or certificates in each case, that would have a Partnership Adverse Impact or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.2 shall bind or obligate any portfolio company or investment fund (as those terms are customarily understood among institutional private equity investors) of Stonepeak Partners LP or any of its affiliated managers or advisers, or any of their direct or indirect equityholders, other than Parent or its controlled Subsidiaries, to take any action with respect to Parent or any of its equityholders or limited partners or its or their respective Affiliates.

49

judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, investigation, suit or proceeding in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in each case in connection with such persons serving as an officer or director of Partnership or any of the Partnership Subsidiaries or of any Person serving at the request of the General Partner, the Partnership or any Partnership Subsidiary and Partnership JV as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Person, to the fullest extent permitted by Law and provided pursuant to the Partnership Governing Documents or the Organizational Documents of any the General Partner, the Partnership or Partnership Subsidiary and Partnership JV or any indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement. In the event of any such indemnity claim: (A) the Surviving Entity shall have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time; and (B) any counsel retained by the Indemnified Parties with respect to the defense thereof for any period after the Effective Time must be reasonably satisfactory to Parent.

(b) The Parties agree that for six (6) years after the Effective Time all rights to elimination or limitation of liability, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, now existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in their respective articles of incorporation or by-laws (or comparable Organizational Documents) or in any agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. For six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall cause (or with respect to any Partnership JV use reasonable best efforts to cause) to be maintained in effect the provisions in (i) the Partnership Governing Documents and the Organizational Documents of the General Partner, any Partnership Subsidiary or Partnership JV and (ii) any other agreements of the General Partner, the Partnership and/or any Partnership Subsidiary or Partnership JV with any Indemnified Party, in each case, regarding elimination or limitation of liability, indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents or other fiduciaries and advancement of expenses that are in existence on the date of this Agreement, and shall cause (or with respect to any Partnership JV use reasonable best efforts to cause) that no such provision shall be amended, modified or repealed in any manner that would adversely affect the rights or protections thereunder of any such Indemnified Party in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions) without the consent of such Indemnified Party.

(c) Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to maintain, for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by the General Partnership and the Partnership with respect to claims arising from facts or events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”); provided, however, that the Surviving Entity shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement by the Partnership for such policy and if such premium for such insurance would at any time exceed such cap, then the Surviving Entity shall cause to be maintained an insurance policy which, in the Surviving Entity’s good faith determination, provides

50

the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to such cap; provided, further, that the Partnership may, prior to the Effective Time, substitute therefor a tail policy to Partnership’s current directors’ and officer’s liability insurance policy providing equivalent coverage with a cost not in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement by the Partnership for such policy. Partnership shall reasonably cooperate with Parent prior to the Effective Time to enable Parent, at the election of Parent, to purchase such a tail policy. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.4 to the contrary, if any Indemnified Party notifies Parent on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time of a matter in respect of which such Person may seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.4, the provisions of this Section 6.4 that require the Surviving Entity to indemnify and advance expenses shall continue in effect with respect to such matter until the final disposition of all claims, actions, investigations, suits and proceedings relating thereto.

(d) In the event Parent or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or Surviving Entity or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.4. The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and Representatives.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Partnership, the Partnership Subsidiaries and the Partnership JVs for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.4 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

6.5 Takeover Statutes. Parent and General Partner shall (a) take all action necessary so that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to the Merger or any of the other Transactions and (b) if any such Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to the Merger, or any of the other Transactions, to take all action necessary so that the Merger and the other Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and thereby and otherwise to eliminate or minimize the effect of such Takeover Statute on the Merger and the other Transactions.

6.6 Obligations of Merger Sub and the Surviving Entity. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause each of Merger Sub and the Surviving Entity to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to cause Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions, including the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

6.7 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Partnership shall take all such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable hereto to cause any dispositions of Partnership equity securities (including derivative securities) and acquisitions of Parent equity securities pursuant to the Transactions by each individual who is a director or officer of the General Partner subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Partnership to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.8 Transaction Litigation; Notices. The General Partner and the Partnership shall provide prompt oral notice, promptly confirmed in writing, of any objection, claim, litigation or proceeding brought or threatened by any equity holder of such Party or any third party claim against such Party, any of the Partnership Subsidiaries, the Partnership JVs and/or any of its or their directors or officers relating to the Merger, this Agreement or any of the Transactions to Parent, and shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis with respect to the status thereof, including by facilitating meetings between counsel of the General Partner and the Partnership and counsel of Parent and promptly and diligently responding to inquiries with respect to any stockholder litigation made by Parent or its counsel. The Partnership shall give Parent the opportunity to participate (at the Parent’s expense) in the defense, prosecution or settlement of any such objection, claim, litigation or proceeding and shall give Parent the right to review and comment on all filings or responses to be made by the General Partner or the Partnership in connection with any such litigation or proceeding, and will in good faith take such comments into account. The General Partner and the Partnership shall not offer or agree to settle any such objection, claim, litigation or proceeding without the Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, that, without limiting the foregoing, the Partnership shall use reasonable best efforts so that any such settlement includes a full release of the Parent and its Affiliates and does not impose any material injunction or other material equitable relief after the Effective Time upon Parent, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Affiliates, including the General Partner, the Partnership, the Partnership Subsidiaries or the Partnership JVs, as applicable. In the event, and to the extent of, any conflict or overlap between the provisions of this Section 6.8 and Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, the provisions of this Section 6.8 shall control.

6.9 Delisting. Prior to the Closing Date, the General Partner shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the NYSE to enable the delisting by the Surviving Entity of the Common Units from the NYSE as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time and the deregistration of the Common Units under the Exchange Act at the Effective Time.

The Partnership shall cause to be delivered to Parent resignations effective as of the Effective Time executed by each director or officer of the General Partner, the Partnership, and the Partnership Subsidiaries (and to the extent designated or interlocked with the Partnership or the Partnership Subsidiaries, of the Partnership JVs) in office as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, except with respect to any directors or officers identified by Parent in writing to the Partnership three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date.

52

6.11 Tax Matters.

(a) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, real property, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes, fees and costs (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be payable by the Surviving Entity and/or its Subsidiaries. The Parties shall cooperate in attempting to minimize the amount of any Transfer Taxes. Any Tax Returns and other documentation that must be filed with respect to Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed when due by the party primarily or customarily responsible under the applicable local law for the filing of such Tax Returns or other documentation, and such party will (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide drafts of such Tax Returns and other documentation to the other Party at least ten (10) business days prior to the due date for such Tax returns and other documentation and (ii) reasonably consider in good faith any comments made by such other party in respect of such Tax Returns or such other documentation.

Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, each Party to this Agreement hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Party will not take any position on any Tax Return, or take any other Tax reporting position or action, that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, except as otherwise required by a “determination” as defined in Code Section 1313.

(c) The Parties agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are intended to be treated as a taxable sale and purchase of interests in the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and for purposes of corresponding provisions of applicable US state and local law (the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

(i) by allowing Parent and its Representatives to have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on drafts of any documentation related to the Required Debt Consents (or refinancing of any Existing Debt Agreement) or the Required Commercial Consents;

(ii) promptly inform the other Party of any material communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, any such counterparties, lenders, holders or other creditors of loans, bonds, notes or other financings, as applicable, and/or agents, trustees or similar party thereof with respect to any such consents (or refinancing of any Existing Debt Agreements), by promptly providing copies to the other Party of any such written communications, and of any material communic

(iii) ation received or given;

(iv) permit Parent and its Representatives a reasonable opportunity to review in advance any proposed material request, proposal, document or other exchange with the relevant counterparties, lenders, holders or other creditors of loans, bonds, notes or other financings, as applicable, and/or agents, trustees or similar party thereof, and consult with the Partnership or the Partnership Subsidiaries, as applicable, in advance thereof and to include any proposed changes thereto that Parent reasonably requests, provided that Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts (without material delay or impediment) to promptly respond to any such request, proposal, document or other exchange received by the Partnership;

54

(v) to the extent reasonably practicable, give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to attend and participate in any substantive in-person or telephonic/video meetings in connection with obtaining the Required Debt Consents (or refinancing of any Existing Debt Agreements) and Required Commercial Consents; and

(vi) in connection with any refinancing of any Existing Debt Agreement permitted by Section 6.12(a) other than using the proceeds of a revolving credit facility, in the case of the Partnership, use commercially reasonable efforts to, promptly upon the request of Parent, enter into interest rate swap or hedging Contracts in consultation with Parent in respect of the refinanced debt with respect to a quantum of such debt and for a duration and on other market terms requested by Parent; provided that, if Parent does not so request an interest rate swap or hedging Contract to be entered into, the Partnership may, subject to the prior consent of Parent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and in consultation with the Parent, enter into interest rate swap or hedging Contracts in respect of the refinanced debt with respect to a quantum of such debt and for a duration and on other market terms requested by the Partnership.

In connection with the foregoing, it is contemplated that the Partnership and its Representatives will promptly prepare any documentation required to achieve the Required Debt Consents (or refinancing of any Existing Debt Agreements as permitted by Section 6.12(a)) and Required Commercial Consents and to take the lead in negotiations and communications with counterparties, lenders, holders or other creditors of loans, bonds, notes or other financings, as applicable, and/or agents, trustees or similar party thereof, and the Partnership agrees that it shall consult and give due consideration to the reasonable advice and suggestions of Parent with respect to the strategy to obtain such consents (or achieve such refinancings) and provide any calculations or other information reasonably requested by Parent to determine compliance with Section 6.12. The Partnership or Partnership Subsidiaries shall provide any legal opinions required under the Existing Debt Agreements or as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such consent (or refinancings).

(c) For avoidance of doubt, the Partnership Existing Revolving Facilities cannot be refinanced without the consent of Parent; however, upon the request of Parent, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly enter into one or more new revolving credit facilities, as determined by Parent, to refinance the ING Revolving Facility and/or the Citibank Revolving Facility on terms and conditions acceptable to Parent (any such replacement revolving credit facility, a “Replacement Revolving Facility”).

(i) The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the Transactions, and are binding and enforceable against it, and not subject to approval of its Common Unitholders, and that neither the Partnership Termination Fee nor the Parent Termination Fee is a penalty, but rather a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Sub in the circumstances in which such payments are payable for the efforts and

60

resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, upon payment of the Partnership Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.2, none of General Partner or Partnership, any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, Unitholders, managers, members, affiliates, agents or Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

61

Person against Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, or any direct or indirect, former, current or future, equityholder or Representative of any of the foregoing (each, a “Parent Related Party”), for any damages, liabilities or other adverse consequences incurred by Partnership or any of its Affiliates or Representatives or any other Person for any failure by Parent or Merger Sub to effect the Closing for any or no reason and any other breach by Parent or Merger Sub of this Agreement, and Partnership and its Affiliates shall not otherwise be entitled to make any claim against any Parent Related Parties, and the Parent Related Parties shall have no further liability to Partnership or any of its Affiliates or any other Person therefor, except that Partnership may seek specific performance of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations hereunder as and only to the extent permitted under Section 9.14; provided, however, that in no event shall Partnership or any of its Affiliates be entitled to a grant of both specific performance pursuant to Section 9.8 and the Parent Termination Fee. The Parent Related Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 8.2(d)(iv).

(v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (i) no Party shall be liable for any speculative, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (unless awarded to a third party, and except with respect to damages that might otherwise be considered consequential damages to the extent recoverable under the applicable principles of Delaware law because they were the natural, probable and reasonably foreseeable consequence of the relevant breach or action) with respect to this Agreement, and (ii) nothing in this Section 8.2 shall limit a claim by Partnership to enforce its third party beneficiary rights under the Equity Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Equity Commitment Letter prior to a valid termination of this Agreement.

(d) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the TK Parties does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance with the provisions hereof will not, conflict with or violate any Law applicable to either TK Party or, other than as set forth in the Equity Margin Revolver Agreements, result in any breach of or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration, or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Lien on any of the Units pursuant to, any agreement or other instrument or obligation including organizational documents binding upon a TK Party or any of the Units.

(g) Reliance. Each of the TK Parties understands and acknowledges that Parent is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the such TK Party’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements of the TK Parties contained herein.

This Section 5 shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Units by the TK Parties, or any entity under the control of a TK Party, to an Affiliate of the TK Parties or an Affiliate of an entity under the control of a TK Party; provided, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

6. Additional Units.

Each of the TK Parties agrees that all units of Partnership Common Unit (or any securities exchangeable for or convertible into Partnership Common Units) that a TK Party or any entity under TKC’s control purchases, acquires the right to vote, or otherwise acquires Beneficial Ownership of, after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall constitute Units for all purposes of this Agreement. In the event of any unit split, unit dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of units, or the like of the units of the Partnership affecting the Units, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities and such resulting securities shall be deemed to be “Units” for all purposes of this Agreement.

7. Termination.

This Agreement and all obligations hereunder shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (the “Expiration Time”): (a) the Effective Time; (b) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; and (c) the termination of this Agreement by mutual written consent of the Parties. Nothing in this Section 7 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party for any intentional breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

8. No Solicitation.

Subject to Section 9, each of the TK Parties shall not and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to: (a) solicit, initiate, or knowingly facilitate any inquiries, proposal or offer or the making, submission, modification or amendment or announcement of any inquiry, proposal or offer which constitutes or would be reasonably expected to lead to a Partnership Competing Proposal; (b) participate in or engage in any negotiations or discussions (other than to state that it is not permitted to have discussions) regarding, or furnish to any Person any nonpublic information relating to the Partnership in connection with, any inquiry, proposal or offer which constitutes or would be reasonably expected to lead to a Partnership Competing Proposal; (c) publicly support or recommend any Partnership Competing Proposal, (d) except with respect to any Partnership Competing Proposal that is the subject of a Partnership Change of Recommendation made in accordance with Section 5.2(d) of the Merger Agreement, fail to, following the request of Parent to do so, promptly publicly and without qualification recommend against any Partnership Competing Proposal, or (e) enter into any letter of intent or other document or agreement relating to, or any agreement or commitment providing for, any Partnership Competing Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the TK Parties may (and may permit their Affiliates and their and their Affiliates’ Representatives to) participate in discussions and negotiations with any Person making a Partnership Competing Proposal (or its Representatives) with respect to such Partnership Competing Proposal if: (i) the Partnership or General Partner is engaging in discussions or negotiations with such Person pursuant to Section 5.2(b) of the Merger Agreement and has not breached Section 5.2 of the Merger Agreement; and (ii) the TK Parties’ negotiations and discussions are in conjunction with and ancillary to the Partnership’s or the General Partner’s discussions and negotiations. Each of TKC and TFL shall immediately cease, and cause its directors, officers and employees to cease, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to immediately cease, any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties (or provision of any nonpublic information to any parties) conducted heretofore with respect to any Partnership Competing Proposal or Partnership Inquiry existing on the date hereof.

9. No Agreement as Director or Officer.

Each of the TK Parties makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in such TK Party’s capacity as a director or officer of the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries (if such TK Party holds such office), and nothing in this Agreement: (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by a TK Party in unitholder’s capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement; or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit, or restrict a TK Party from exercising a TK Party’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director to the Partnership or the Partnership’s unitholders.

10. Further Assurances.

Each of the TK Parties agrees, from time to time, and without additional consideration, to execute and deliver such additional proxies, documents, and other instruments and to take all such further action as Parent may reasonably request to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

11. Stop Transfer Instructions.

At all times commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the Expiration Time, in furtherance of this Agreement, each of the TK Parties hereby authorizes and instructs the Partnership or its counsel to notify the Partnership’s transfer agent that, subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 5, there is a stop transfer order (the “Stop Transfer Order”) with respect to all of the Units (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of the Units), subject to the provisions hereof and provided that any such stop transfer order and notice will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by the Partnership following the Expiration Time. Each of the TK Parties shall authorize and instruct the Partnership to enter or cause its transfer agent to enter the Stop Transfer Order.

12. Specific Performance.

The rights and remedies of the Parties shall be cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby. Each Party hereto acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to the other Party if a Party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure, the other Party will not have an adequate remedy at Law or damages. Accordingly, each Party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at Law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the seeking of such relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at Law. Each Party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, proof of actual damages or the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other Party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.

13. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by both of the Parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either Party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such Party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such Party.

14. Notices.

All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of actual receipt or: (a) when delivered by hand (providing proof of delivery); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); or (c) on the date sent by email if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient.

Each of the Parties hereto agrees that service of process or other papers in connection with any such legal action in the manner provided for notices in Section 14 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Laws, will be valid and sufficient service thereof.

(c) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
