Under the Support Agreement, the Unitholders irrevocably and unconditionally agreed, at any meeting relating to the Merger or a competing acquisition proposal, to:
    appear at each meeting or otherwise cause its Common Units and Management Units to be counted as present for quorum purposes; and
 
    vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, or deliver a written consent covering all of the Common Units and Management Units (i) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, approval of the Merger and any other related action; (ii) against any action that would result in a breach of the obligations or representations and warranties of the Issuer or the Issuer GP under the Merger Agreement; (iii) against any other acquisition proposal; and (iv) against any action designed to delay or interfere with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
     In addition, each Unitholder irrevocably appointed as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, Keith St.Clair and William Schmidt, in their respective capacities as officers of BPL and its general partner, and any individual who shall succeed to any such person, as the case may be, and any other person designated in writing by BPL or its general partner, to vote or execute written consents as described above. The Support Agreement remained in effect until the effective time of the Merger. A copy of the Support Agreement is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 3 hereto and the description of the Support Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 3.
Registration Rights Agreement
     Also on June 10, 2010, BPL and the Unitholders entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which BPL is obligated to file a registration statement covering the potential sale of BPL Units issued to the Unitholders in the Merger.
