Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act empowers a Delaware
limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against any
and all claims and demands whatsoever. Pursuant to Section 7.7(a) of the Partnership's First
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"), the
Partnership will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, but subject to specified limitations
expressly provided therein, indemnify its general partner, any Departing General Partner (as
defined therein), any person who is or was an affiliate of its general partner or any Departing
General Partner, any person who is or was a member, manager, partner, director, officer, fiduciary
or trustee of any Group Member (as defined therein) (other than any person who is or was a limited
partner of the Partnership in such person's capacity as such), the Partnership's general partner or
any Departing General Partner or any affiliate of any Group Member, the Partnership's general
partner or any Departing General Partner, any person who is or was serving at the request of the
Partnership's general partner or any Departing General Partner or any affiliate of the Registrant's
general partner or any Departing General Partner as an officer, director, member, manager, partner,
fiduciary or trustee of another person, and any person the Partnership's general partner designates
for purposes of the Partnership Agreement (each an "Indemnitee" and collectively, the "Idemnitees")
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses
(including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other
amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is
threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of the Indemnitee's serving or having
served, or taking or having taken any action or inaction in, any capacity that causes or caused the
Indemnitee to be, an Indemnitee;
provided, however
, that the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified
and held harmless if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of
competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is
seeking indemnification, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct
II-1
Table of Contents
or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee's conduct was
unlawful. Any indemnification under these provisions of the Partnership Agreement will only be out
of the assets of the Partnership, it being agreed that the General Partner shall not be personally
liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or
property to the Partnership to enable it to effectuate such indemnification.
Reference is made to Item 9 for the Partnership's undertakings with respect to indemnification
for such liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Section 7.7(b) of the Partnership Agreement provides further that, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is
indemnified pursuant to Section 7.7(a) of the Partnership Agreement in defending any claim, demand,
action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership prior to a
determination that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the Partnership
of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined
that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in Section 7.7 of the
Partnership Agreement.
Pursuant to Section 7.7(d) of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is authorized to
purchase and maintain (or to reimburse its general partner or its affiliates for the costs of)
insurance against liabilities that may be asserted against, or expenses that may be incurred by,
the Partnership's general partner, its affiliates and such other persons as the Partnership's
general partner determines in connection with the Partnership's activities or such person's
activities on behalf of the Partnership, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to
indemnify such person against such liability under provisions described in the Partnership
Agreement.
Section 7.8(a) of the Partnership Agreement provides that no Indemnitee shall be liable for
monetary damages to the Partnership, the limited partners of the Partnership or any other persons
who have acquired interests in units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership or
any other class or series of equity interest in the Partnership (but excluding any options, rights,
warrants and appreciation rights relating to an equity interest in the Partnership), for losses
sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee unless there
has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction
determining that, in respect of the matter in question, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or
engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge
that the Indemnitee's conduct was criminal.
The Underwriting Agreement entered into by the Partnership in connection with its initial
public offering of common units provides for the indemnification of the directors and officers of
the General Partner in certain circumstances by the underwriters.
Each member of the General Partner's Board of Directors also has entered into a Director
Indemnification Agreement with the General Partner that provides for the indemnification of the
director in certain circumstances by the General Partner.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
Provided, however,
That paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment 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.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section
13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.
(c) 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
provisions described under Item 6 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
II-3
Table of Contents
against such liabilities (other than the payment of 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
