(a) The General Partner shall keep or cause to be kept on behalf of the Partnership a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe and subject to the provisions of Section 4.5(b), the Partnership will provide for the registration and transfer of Limited Partner Interests. The Transfer Agent is hereby appointed registrar and transfer agent for the purpose of registering Common Units and transfers of such Common Units as herein provided. The Partnership shall not recognize transfers of Certificates evidencing Limited Partner Interests unless such transfers are effected in the manner described in this Section 4.5. Upon surrender of a Certificate for registration of transfer of any Limited Partner Interests evidenced by a Certificate, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.5(b), the appropriate officers of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall execute and deliver, and in the case of Common Units, Series A Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units, and Series C Preferred Units, the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver, in the name of the holder or the designated transferee or transferees, as required pursuant to the holder’s instructions, one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number and type of Limited Partner Interests as was evidenced by the Certificate so surrendered.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.9, the General Partner shall not recognize any transfer of Limited Partner Interests until the Certificates evidencing such Limited Partner Interests are surrendered for registration of transfer. No charge shall be imposed by the General Partner for such transfer;provided, that as a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 4.5, the General Partner may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed with respect thereto.

(c) Subject to (i) the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5, (ii) Section 4.3, (iii) Section 4.8, (iv) with respect to any class or series of Limited Partner Interests, the provisions of any statement of designations or an amendment to this Agreement establishing such class or series, (v) any contractual provisions binding on any Limited Partner, and (vi) provisions of applicable law including the Securities Act, Limited Partner Interests shall be freely transferable.

(d) The General Partner and its Affiliates shall have the right at any time to transfer their Common Units to one or more Persons.

Section 4.6Transfer of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest.

(a) [Reserved.]

(b) Subject to Section 4.6(c) below, the General Partner may transfer all or any of its General Partner Interest without Unitholder approval.

32

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no transfer by the General Partner of all or any part of its General Partner Interest to another Person shall be permitted unless (i) the transferee agrees to assume the rights and duties of the General Partner under this Agreement and to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) the Partnership receives an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer would not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner under the Delaware Act or cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed), and (iii) such transferee also agrees to purchase all (or the appropriate portion thereof, if applicable) of the partnership or membership interest of the General Partner as the general partner or managing member, if any, of each other Group Member. In the case of a transfer pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 4.6, the transferee or successor (as the case may be) shall, subject to compliance with the terms of Section 10.3, be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner immediately prior to the transfer of the General Partner Interest, and the business of the Partnership shall continue without dissolution.

Section 4.7 [Reserved.]

Section 4.8Restrictions on Transfers.

(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, no transfer of any Partnership Interests shall be made if such transfer would (i) violate the then applicable federal or state securities laws or rules and regulations of the Commission, any state securities commission or any other governmental authority with jurisdiction over such transfer, (ii) terminate the existence or qualification of the Partnership under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, or (iii) cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed).

(b) The General Partner may impose restrictions on the transfer of Partnership Interests if it receives an Opinion of Counsel that such restrictions are necessary to avoid a significant risk of the Partnership becoming taxable as a corporation or otherwise becoming taxable as an entity for federal income tax purposes. The General Partner may impose such restrictions by amending this Agreement;provided,however, that any amendment that would result in the delisting or suspension of trading of any class of Limited Partner Interests on the principal National Securities Exchange on which such class of Limited Partner Interests is then listed or admitted to trading must be approved, prior to such amendment being effected, by the holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Limited Partner Interests of such class.

(c) [Reserved.]

(d) [Reserved.]

(e) Nothing contained in this Article IV, or elsewhere in this Agreement, shall preclude the settlement of any transactions involving Partnership Interests entered into through the facilities of any National Securities Exchange on which such Partnership Interests are listed or admitted to trading.

33

(f) Each certificate evidencing Partnership Interests shall bear a conspicuous legend in substantially the following form:

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY ACKNOWLEDGES FOR THE BENEFIT OF DCP MIDSTREAM, LP THAT THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IF SUCH TRANSFER WOULD (A) VIOLATE THE THEN APPLICABLE FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY WITH JURISDICTION OVER SUCH TRANSFER, (B) TERMINATE THE EXISTENCE OR QUALIFICATION OF DCP MIDSTREAM, LP UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, OR (C) CAUSE DCP MIDSTREAM, LP TO BE TREATED AS AN ASSOCIATION TAXABLE AS A CORPORATION OR OTHERWISE TO BE TAXED AS AN ENTITY FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES (TO THE EXTENT NOT ALREADY SO TREATED OR TAXED). DCP MIDSTREAM GP, LP, THE GENERAL PARTNER OF DCP MIDSTREAM, LP, MAY IMPOSE ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IF IT RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT SUCH RESTRICTIONS ARE NECESSARY TO AVOID A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF DCP MIDSTREAM, LP BECOMING TAXABLE AS A CORPORATION OR OTHERWISE BECOMING TAXABLE AS AN ENTITY FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH ABOVE SHALL NOT PRECLUDE THE SETTLEMENT OF ANY TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THIS SECURITY ENTERED INTO THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF ANY NATIONAL SECURITIES EXCHANGE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY IS LISTED OR ADMITTED TO TRADING.

Section 4.9Citizenship Certificates;Non-citizen Assignees.

(a) If any Group Member is or becomes subject to any federal, state, or local law or regulation that the General Partner determines would create a substantial risk of cancellation or forfeiture of any property in which the Group Member has an interest based on the nationality, citizenship or other related status of a Limited Partner, the General Partner may request any Limited Partner to furnish to the General Partner, within 30 days after receipt of such request, an executed Citizenship Certification or such other information concerning his nationality, citizenship, or other related status (or, if the Limited Partner is a nominee holding for the account of another Person, the nationality, citizenship, or other related status of such Person) as the General Partner may request. If a Limited Partner fails to furnish to the General Partner within the aforementioned30-day period such Citizenship Certification or other requested information or if, upon receipt of such Citizenship Certification or other requested information, the General Partner determines that a Limited Partner is not an Eligible Citizen, the Limited Partner Interests owned by such Limited Partner shall be subject to redemption in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10. In addition, the General Partner may require that the status of any such Limited Partner be changed to that of aNon-citizen Assignee and, thereupon, the General Partner shall be substituted for suchNon-citizen Assignee as the Limited Partner in respect of theNon-citizen Assignee’s Limited Partner Interests.

(b) The General Partner shall, in exercising voting rights in respect of Limited Partner Interests held by it on behalf ofNon-citizen Assignees, distribute the votes in the same ratios as the votes of Partners (including the General Partner) in respect of Limited Partner Interests other than those ofNon-citizen Assignees are cast, either for, against or abstaining as to the matter.

34

(c) Upon dissolution of the Partnership, aNon-citizen Assignee shall have no right to receive a distribution in kind pursuant to Section 12.4 but shall be entitled to the cash equivalent thereof, and the Partnership shall provide cash in exchange for an assignment of theNon-citizen Assignee’s share of any distribution in kind. Such payment and assignment shall be treated for Partnership purposes as a purchase by the Partnership from theNon-citizen Assignee of his Limited Partner Interest (representing his right to receive his share of such distribution in kind).

(d) At any time after he can and does certify that he has become an Eligible Citizen, aNon-citizen Assignee may, upon application to the General Partner, request that with respect to any Limited Partner Interests of suchNon-citizen Assignee not redeemed pursuant to Section 4.10, suchNon-citizen Assignee be admitted as a Limited Partner, and upon approval of the General Partner, suchNon-citizen Assignee shall be admitted as a Limited Partner and shall no longer constitute aNon-citizen Assignee, and the General Partner shall cease to be deemed to be the Limited Partner in respect of theNon-citizen Assignee’s Limited Partner Interests.

Section 4.10Redemption of Partnership Interests ofNon-citizen Assignees.

(a) If at any time a Limited Partner fails to furnish a Citizenship Certification or other information requested within the30-day period specified in Section 4.9(a), or if upon receipt of such Citizenship Certification or other information the General Partner determines, with the advice of counsel, that a Limited Partner is not an Eligible Citizen, the Partnership may, unless the Limited Partner establishes to the satisfaction of the General Partner that such Limited Partner is an Eligible Citizen or has transferred his Partnership Interests to a Person who is an Eligible Citizen and who furnishes a Citizenship Certification to the General Partner prior to the date fixed for redemption as provided below, redeem the Limited Partner Interest of such Limited Partner as follows:

(i) The General Partner shall, not later than the 30th day before the date fixed for redemption, give notice of redemption to the Limited Partner, at his last address designated on the records of the Partnership or the Transfer Agent, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. The notice shall be deemed to have been given when so mailed. The notice shall specify the Redeemable Interests, the date fixed for redemption, the place of payment, that payment of the redemption price will be made upon surrender of the Certificate evidencing the Redeemable Interests, and that on and after the date fixed for redemption no further allocations or distributions to which the Limited Partner would otherwise be entitled in respect of the Redeemable Interests will accrue or be made.

(ii) The aggregate redemption price for Redeemable Interests shall be an amount equal to the Current Market Price (the date of determination of which shall be the date fixed for redemption) of Limited Partner Interests of the class to be so redeemed multiplied by the number of Limited Partner Interests of each such class included among the Redeemable Interests. The redemption price shall be paid, as determined by the General Partner, in cash or by delivery of a promissory note of the Partnership in the principal amount of the redemption price, bearing interest at the rate of 5% annually, and payable in three equal annual installments of principal together with accrued interest, commencing one year after the redemption date.

(iii) Upon surrender by or on behalf of the Limited Partner, at the place specified in the notice of redemption, of the Certificate evidencing the Redeemable Interests, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by an assignment duly executed in blank, the Limited Partner or his duly authorized representative shall be entitled to receive the payment therefor.

35

(iv) After the redemption date, Redeemable Interests shall no longer constitute issued and Outstanding Limited Partner Interests.

(b) The provisions of this Section 4.10 shall also be applicable to Limited Partner Interests held by a Limited Partner as nominee of a Person determined to be other than an Eligible Citizen.

(c) Nothing in this Section 4.10 shall prevent the recipient of a notice of redemption from transferring his Limited Partner Interest before the redemption date if such transfer is otherwise permitted under this Agreement. Upon receipt of notice of such a transfer, the General Partner shall withdraw the notice of redemption,provided the transferee of such Limited Partner Interest certifies to the satisfaction of the General Partner that he is an Eligible Citizen. If the transferee fails to make such certification, such redemption shall be effected from the transferee on the original redemption date.

Pursuant to this Agreement and the Equity Restructuring Agreement, and effective upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, (a) the General Partner Interest (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement) that existed immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement is hereby converted into thenon-economic General Partner Interest having the rights and obligations specified for the General Partner Interest in this Agreement, (b) the General Partner Units and the Incentive Distribution Rights, all of which are held by the General Partner, are hereby cancelled and converted into the Restructuring Common Units, (c) the General Partner hereby continues as the sole general partner of the Partnership, and (d) the Partnership is hereby continued without dissolution.

Section 5.2 [Reserved.]

Section 5.3 [Reserved.]

Section 5.4Interest and Withdrawal.

No interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital Contributions. No Partner or Assignee shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its Capital Contribution, except to the extent, if any, that distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon termination of the Partnership may be considered as such by law and then only to the extent provided for in this Agreement. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall have priority over any other Partner or Assignee either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to profits, losses, or distributions. Any such return shall be a compromise to which all Partners agree within the meaning ofSection 17-502(b) of the Delaware Act.

36

Section 5.5Capital Accounts.

(a) The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner (or a beneficial owner of Partnership Interests held by a nominee in any case in which the nominee has furnished the identity of such owner to the Partnership in accordance with Section 6031(c) of the Code or any other method acceptable to the General Partner) owning a Partnership Interest a separate Capital Account with respect to such Partnership Interest in accordance with the rules of Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The initial Capital Account attributable to a Series A Preferred Unit shall be the Series A Preferred Liquidation Preference for such Unit, irrespective of the amount paid by such holder for such Unit, and any amount paid for a Series A Preferred Unit in excess of the Series A Preferred Liquidation Preference for such Unit shall be considered income of the Partnership. The initial Capital Account attributable to a Series B Preferred Unit shall be the Series B Preferred Liquidation Preference for such Unit, irrespective of the amount paid by such holder for such Unit, and any amount paid for a Series B Preferred Unit in excess of the Series B Preferred Liquidation Preference for such Unit shall be considered income of the Partnership. The initial Capital Account attributable to a Series C Preferred Unit shall be the Series C Preferred Liquidation Preference for such Unit, irrespective of the amount paid by such holder for such Unit, and any amount paid for a Series C Preferred Unit in excess of the Series C Preferred Liquidation Preference for such Unit shall be considered income of the Partnership. The Capital Account attributable to any Partnership Interest shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made to the Partnership with respect to such Partnership Interest and (ii) all items of Partnership income and gain (including income and gain exempt from tax) computed in accordance with Section 5.5(b) and allocated with respect to such Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 6.1, and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Net Agreed Value of all actual and deemed distributions of cash or property made with respect to such Partnership Interest (provided that the Capital Account of a Series A Preferred Unitholder shall not be reduced by any Series A Preferred Distributions it receives, the Capital Account of a Series B Preferred Unitholder shall not be reduced by any Series B Preferred Distributions it receives, and the Capital Account of a Series C Preferred Unitholder shall not be reduced by any Series C Preferred Distributions it receives) and (y) all items of Partnership deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 5.5(b) and allocated with respect to such Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 6.1.

(b) For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction which is to be allocated pursuant to Article VI and is to be reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition, and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes (including any method of depreciation, cost recovery, or amortization used for that purpose),provided, that:

(i) Solely for purposes of this Section 5.5, the Partnership shall be treated as owning directly its proportionate share (as determined by the General Partner based upon the provisions of the applicable Group Member Agreement or governing, organizational, or similar documents) of all property owned by any other Group Member that is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and (y) any other partnership, limited liability company, unincorporated business, or other entity classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes of which a Group Member is, directly or indirectly, a partner.

(ii) All fees and other expenses incurred by the Partnership to promote the sale of (or to sell) a Partnership Interest that can neither be deducted nor amortized under Section 709 of the Code, if any, shall, for purposes of Capital Account maintenance, be treated as an item of deduction at the time such fees and other expenses are incurred and shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1.

37

(iii) Except as otherwise provided in Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Partnership and, as to those items described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment in the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain or loss.

(iv) Any income, gain, or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Partnership property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Partnership’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.

(v) In accordance with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code, any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery, or amortization attributable to any Contributed Property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property on the date it was acquired by the Partnership were equal to the Agreed Value of such property. Upon an adjustment pursuant to Section 5.5(d) to the Carrying Value of any Partnership property subject to depreciation, cost recovery, or amortization, any further deductions for such depreciation, cost recovery, or amortization attributable to such property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property were equal to the Carrying Value of such property immediately following such adjustment.

(vi) If the Partnership’s adjusted basis in a depreciable or cost recovery property is reduced for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 48(q)(1) or 48(q)(3) of the Code, the amount of such reduction shall, solely for purposes hereof, be deemed to be an additional depreciation or cost recovery deduction in the year such property is placed in service and shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1. Any restoration of such basis pursuant to Section 48(q)(2) of the Code shall, to the extent possible, be allocated in the same manner to the Partners to whom such deemed deduction was allocated.

(c) A transferee of a Partnership Interest shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor relating to the Partnership Interest so transferred.

(d)

(i) In accordance with Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), on an issuance of additional Partnership Interests for cash or Contributed Property, the issuance of Partnership Interests as consideration for the provision of services, the issuance of Restructuring Common Units, or the issuance of a Noncompensatory Option (including the conversion of a Series A Preferred Unit in accordance with Section 5.14(b)(xi), the conversion of a Series B Preferred Unit in accordance with Section 5.15(b)(xi), and the conversion of a Series C Preferred Unit in accordance with Section 5.16(b)(xi)), the Capital Accounts of all Partners and the Carrying Value of each Partnership property immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property for an amount equal to its fair market value immediately prior to such issuance and had been allocated to the Partners at such time pursuant to Section 6.1(c) in the same manner as any item of gain or loss actually recognized following an event giving rise to the dissolution of the Partnership would have been allocated;provided,however,

38

that in the event of the issuance of a Partnership Interest pursuant to the exercise of a Noncompensatory Option where the right to share in Partnership capital represented by such Partnership Interest differs from the consideration paid to acquire and exercise such option, the Carrying Value of each Partnership property immediately after the issuance of such Partnership Interest shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property and the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s);provided further, however, that in the event of an issuance of Partnership Interests for a de minimis amount of cash or Contributed Property, in the event of an issuance of a Noncompensatory Option to acquire a de minimis Partnership Interest, or in the event of an issuance of a de minimis amount of Partnership Interests as consideration for the provision of services, the General Partner may determine that such adjustments are unnecessary for the proper administration of the Partnership. If, upon the occurrence of a Revaluation Event described in this Section 5.5(d), a Noncompensatory Option of the Partnership is outstanding, the Partnership shall adjust the Carrying Value of each Partnership property in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(1) and1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(h)(2). In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including, without limitation, cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to the issuance of additional Partnership Interests (or, in the case of a Revaluation Event resulting from the exercise of a Noncompensatory Option, immediately after the issuance of the Partnership Interest acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Noncompensatory Option if required pursuant to Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(1)) shall be determined by the General Partner using such method of valuation as it may adopt;provided, however, that the General Partner, in arriving at such valuation, must take fully into account the fair market value of the Partnership Interests of all Partners at such time. The General Partner shall allocate such aggregate value among the assets of the Partnership (in such manner as it determines in its discretion to be reasonable) to arrive at a fair market value for individual properties.

(ii) In accordance with Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to any actual or deemed distribution to a Partner of any Partnership property (other than a distribution of cash that is not in redemption or retirement of a Partnership Interest), the Capital Accounts of all Partners and the Carrying Value of all Partnership property shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property immediately prior to such distribution for an amount equal to its fair market value, and had been allocated to the Partners, at such time, pursuant to Section 6.1(c) in the same manner as any item of gain or loss actually recognized following an event giving rise to the dissolution of the Partnership would have been allocated. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to a distribution shall (A) in the case of an actual distribution that is not made pursuant to Section 12.4 or in the case of a deemed distribution, be determined and allocated in the same manner as that provided in Section 5.5(d)(i) or (B) in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Section 12.4, be determined and allocated by the Liquidator using such method of valuation as it may adopt.

Section 5.6Issuances of Additional Partnership Securities.

(a) Subject to Section 5.6(d), subject to any approvals required by Series A Preferred Unitholders pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(iii)(B) and Section 5.14(b)(iii)(C), subject to any approvals required by Series B Preferred Unitholders pursuant to Section 5.15(b)(iii)(B) and Section 5.15(b)(iii)(C), and subject to any approvals required by Series C Preferred Unitholders pursuant to Section 5.16(b)(iii)(B)

39

and Section 5.16(b)(iii)(C), the Partnership may issue additional Partnership Securities and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to the Partnership Securities for any Partnership purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as the General Partner shall determine, all without the approval of any Limited Partners.

(b) Each additional Partnership Security authorized to be issued by the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.6(a) may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any such classes, with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing classes and series of Partnership Securities), as shall be fixed by the General Partner, including (i) the right to share in Partnership profits and losses or items thereof; (ii) the right to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, the Partnership may redeem the Partnership Security; (v) whether such Partnership Security is issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which each Partnership Security will be issued, evidenced by certificates and assigned or transferred; (vii) the method for determining the Percentage Interest as to such Partnership Security; and (viii) the right, if any, of each such Partnership Security to vote on Partnership matters, including matters relating to the relative rights, preferences and privileges of such Partnership Security.

(c) The General Partner shall take all actions that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with (i) each issuance of Partnership Securities and options, rights, warrants, and appreciation rights relating to Partnership Securities pursuant to this Section 5.6, (ii) reflecting admission of such additional Limited Partners in the books and records of the Partnership as the Record Holder of such Limited Partner Interest, and (iii) all additional issuances of Partnership Securities. The General Partner shall determine the relative rights, powers, and duties of the holders of the Units or other Partnership Securities being so issued. The General Partner shall do all things necessary to comply with the Delaware Act and is authorized and directed to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with any future issuance of Partnership Securities, including compliance with any statute, rule, regulation, or guideline of any federal, state, or other governmental agency or any National Securities Exchange on which the Units or other Partnership Securities are listed or admitted to trading.

(d) No fractional Units shall be issued by the Partnership.

Section 5.7 [Reserved.]

Section 5.8Limited Preemptive Right.

Except as provided in this Section 5.8, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential, or other similar right with respect to the issuance of any Partnership Security, whether unissued, held in the treasury, or hereafter created. The General Partner shall have the right, which it may from time to time assign in whole or in part to any of its Affiliates, to purchase Partnership Securities from the Partnership whenever, and on the same terms that, the Partnership issues Partnership Securities to Persons other than the General Partner and its Affiliates, to the extent necessary to maintain the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and its Affiliates equal to that which existed immediately prior to the issuance of such Partnership Securities.

40

Section 5.9Splits and Combinations.

(a) Subject to Section 5.9(d), the Partnership may make a Pro Rata distribution of Partnership Securities (other than a distribution of Series A Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units, or Series C Preferred Units) to all Record Holders or may effect a subdivision or combination of Partnership Securities so long as, after any such event, each Partner shall have the same Percentage Interest in the Partnership as before such event, and any amounts calculated on a per Unit basis (including those based on the Series A Preferred Liquidation Preference, the Series B Preferred Liquidation Preference, or the Series C Preferred Liquidation Preference) stated as a number of Units, are proportionately adjusted.

(b) Whenever such a distribution, subdivision, or combination of Partnership Securities is declared, the General Partner shall select a Record Date as of which the distribution, subdivision, or combination shall be effective and shall send notice thereof at least 20 days prior to such Record Date to each Record Holder as of a date not less than 10 days prior to the date of such notice. The General Partner also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number of Partnership Securities to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision, or combination. The General Partner shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

(c) Promptly following any such distribution, subdivision, or combination, the Partnership may issue Certificates to the Record Holders of Partnership Securities as of the applicable Record Date representing the new number of Partnership Securities held by such Record Holders, or the General Partner may adopt such other procedures that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to reflect such changes. If any such combination results in a smaller total number of Partnership Securities Outstanding, the Partnership shall require, as a condition to the delivery to a Record Holder of such new Certificate, the surrender of any Certificate held by such Record Holder immediately prior to such Record Date.

(d) The Partnership shall not issue fractional Units upon any distribution, subdivision, or combination of Units. If a distribution, subdivision, or combination of Units would result in the issuance of fractional Units but for the provisions of this Section 5.9(d), each fractional Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Unit (and a 0.5 Unit shall be rounded to the next higher Unit).

Section 5.10Fully Paid andNon-Assessable Nature of Limited Partner Interests.

All Limited Partner Interests issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this Article V shall be fully paid andnon-assessable Limited Partner Interests in the Partnership, except as suchnon-assessability may be affected bySection 17-607 of the Delaware Act.

Section 5.14Establishment of Terms of Series A Preferred Units.

(a) General. The Partnership has previously designated and created a series of Units, designated as “7.375% Series AFixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units” (the “Series A Preferred Units”), having the preferences, rights, powers, and duties set forth herein, including this Section 5.14. Each Series A Preferred Unit shall be identical in all respects to every other Series A Preferred Unit, except as to the respective dates from which the Series A Preferred Liquidation Preference shall increase or from which Series A Preferred Distributions may begin accruing, to the extent such dates may differ. The Series A Preferred Units represent perpetual equity interests in the Partnership and, except as set forth in Section 5.14(b)(iv) and Section 5.14(b)(xi), shall not give rise to a claim by the Partnership or a Series A Preferred Unitholder for redemption or conversion thereof, as applicable, at a particular date.

(b) Rights of Series A Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units shall have the following rights, preferences, and privileges and shall be subject to the following duties and obligations:

(i) Series A Preferred Units.

(A) The authorized number of Series A Preferred Units shall be unlimited. Series A Preferred Units that are purchased or otherwise acquired by the Partnership shall be cancelled.

(B) The Series A Preferred Units shall be represented by one or more global Certificates registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, and no Series A Preferred Unitholder shall be entitled to receive a definitive Certificate evidencing its Series A Preferred Units, unless otherwise required by law or the Depositary gives notice of its intention to resign or is no longer eligible to act as such with respect to the Series A Preferred Units and the Partnership shall have not selected a substitute Depositary within sixty (60) calendar days thereafter. So long as the Depositary shall have been appointed and is serving with respect to the Series A Preferred Units, payments and communications made by the Partnership to Series A Preferred Unitholders shall be made by making payments to, and communicating with, the Depositary.

(ii) Distributions.

(A) Distributions on each Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit shall be cumulative and compounding and shall accumulate at the applicable Series A Preferred Distribution Rate from and including the Series A Preferred Original Issue Date (or, for any subsequently issued and newly Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, from and including the Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date immediately preceding the issue date of such Series A Preferred Units) until such time as the Partnership pays the Series A Preferred Distribution or redeems such Series A Preferred Unit in accordance with Section 5.14(b)(iv) or such Series A Preferred Unit is converted in accordance with Section 5.14(b)(xi), whether or not such Series A Preferred Distributions shall have been declared. Series A Preferred Unitholders shall be entitled to receive Series A Preferred Distributions from time to time out of any assets of the Partnership legally available for the payment of distributions at the Series A Preferred Distribution Rate per Series A Preferred Unit when, as, and if declared by the General Partner, prior to any other distributions made in respect of any other Units pursuant to Section 6.3. Series A Preferred Distributions, to the extent declared by the General Partner to be paid by the Partnership in accordance with this Section 5.14(b)(ii), shall be paid, in arrears, on each Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date. Series A Preferred Distributions shall accumulate in each Series A Preferred Distribution Period from and including the preceding Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date (other than the initial Series A Preferred Distribution Period, which shall commence on and include the Series A Preferred Original Issue Date), to, but not including, the next Series A Preferred Distribution Payment

42

Date for such Series A Preferred Distribution Period;provided that distributions shall accrue on accumulated but unpaid Series A Preferred Distributions at the Series A Preferred Distribution Rate. If any Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date otherwise would occur on a date that is not a Business Day, declared Series A Preferred Distributions shall be paid on the immediately succeeding Business Day without the accumulation of additional distributions. During the Series A Preferred Fixed Rate Period, Series A Preferred Distributions shall be payable based on a360-day year consisting of twelve30-day months. During the Series A Preferred Floating Rate Period, Series A Preferred Distributions shall be computed by multiplying the Series A Preferred Distribution Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the actual number of days elapsed during that Series A Preferred Distribution Period (determined by including the first day of such Series A Preferred Distribution Period and excluding the last day, which is the Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date), and the denominator of which will be 360, and by multiplying the result by the aggregate Series A Preferred Liquidation Preference of all Outstanding Series A Preferred Units. All Series A Preferred Distributions accrued by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 5.14(b)(ii) shall be payable without regard to income of the Partnership and shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as guaranteed payments for the use of capital under Section 707(c) of the Code, includable in ordinary income of a Series A Preferred Unitholder in its taxable year in which the Partnership deducts such payments as accrued. The guaranteed payment with respect to any Series A Preferred Distribution Period shall be for the account of the holders of Series A Preferred Units as of the applicable Series A Preferred Distribution Record Date.

(B) Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date, the Partnership shall pay those Series A Preferred Distributions, if any, that shall have been declared by the General Partner to Series A Preferred Unitholders on the Record Date for the applicable Series A Preferred Distribution. The Record Date (the “Series A Preferred Distribution Record Date”) for the payment of any Series A Preferred Distributions shall be as of the close of business on the first Business Day of the month of the applicable Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date, except that in the case of payments of Series A Preferred Distributions in Arrears, the Series A Preferred Distribution Record Date with respect to a Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date shall be such date as may be designated by the General Partner in accordance with this Section 5.14(b)(ii)(B). So long as any Series A Preferred Units are Outstanding, no distribution shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment on any Series A Preferred Junior Securities (other than a distribution payable solely in Series A Preferred Junior Securities) unless full cumulative Series A Preferred Distributions have been or contemporaneously are being paid or set apart for payment on all Outstanding Series A Preferred Units (and distributions on any other Series A Preferred Parity Securities) through the most recent respective Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date (and distribution payment date with respect to such Series A Preferred Parity Securities, if any). Accumulated Series A Preferred Distributions in Arrears for any past Series A Preferred Distribution Period may be declared by the General Partner and paid on any date fixed by the General Partner, whether or not a Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date, to Series A Preferred Unitholders on the Record Date for such payment, which may not be less than 10 days before such payment date. Subject to the next succeeding sentence, if all accumulated Series A Preferred Distributions in Arrears on all Outstanding Series A Preferred Units and all accumulated distributions in arrears on any Series A Preferred Parity Securities shall not have been declared and paid, or if sufficient funds for the payment thereof shall not have been set apart, payment of accumulated distributions in Arrears on the Series A Preferred Units and accumulated distributions in arrears on any such Series A Preferred Parity Securities shall be made in order of their respective distribution payment dates, commencing with the earliest distribution payment date. If less than all distributions payable with respect

43

to all Series A Preferred Units and any other Series A Preferred Parity Securities are paid, any partial payment shall be made Pro Rata with respect to the Series A Preferred Units and any such other Series A Preferred Parity Securities entitled to a distribution payment at such time in proportion to the aggregate distribution amounts remaining due in respect of such Series A Preferred Units and such other Series A Preferred Parity Securities at such time. Subject to Section 12.4 and Section 5.14(b)(iv), Series A Preferred Unitholders shall not be entitled to any distribution, whether payable in cash, property or Partnership Securities, in excess of full cumulative Series A Preferred Distributions. Except insofar as distributions accrue on the amount of any accumulated and unpaid Series A Preferred Distributions as described in Section 5.14(b)(ii)(A), no interest or sum of money in lieu of interest shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment which may be in Arrears on the Series A Preferred Units. So long as the Series A Preferred Units are held of record by the Depositary or its nominee, declared Series A Preferred Distributions shall be paid to the Depositary insame-day funds on each Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date or other distribution payment date in the case of payments for Series A Preferred Distributions in Arrears.

(C) The “Preferred Three-Month LIBOR” for each Series A Preferred Distribution Period during the Series A Preferred Floating Rate Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, as of the applicable Series A Preferred LIBOR Determination Date, in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) The Preferred Three-Month LIBOR shall be the rate (expressed as a percentage per year) for deposits in U.S. dollars in amounts of at least $1,000,000 for a three-month period commencing on the first day of such Series A Preferred Distribution Period that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Series A Preferred LIBOR Determination Date.

(2) If the Preferred Three-Month LIBOR cannot be determined as described in Section 5.14(b)(ii)(C)(1), the Calculation Agent will consult with an investment bank of national standing to determine whether there is an industry accepted substitute or successor base rate to the Preferred Three-Month LIBOR. If, after such consultation, the Calculation Agent determines that there is an industry accepted substitute or successor base rate, the Calculation Agent shall use such substitute or successor base rate. In such case, the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion may (without implying a corresponding obligation to do so) also amend the business day convention, the definition of Business Day, the definition of London Business Day, the Series A Preferred LIBOR Determination Date and any method for obtaining the substitute or successor base rate if such rate is unavailable on the relevant Business Day, in a manner that is consistent with industry accepted practices for such substitute or successor base rate. Unless the Calculation Agent determines that there is an industry accepted substitute or successor base rate as so provided above, the following will apply: If no offered rate appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 on the relevant Series A Preferred LIBOR Determination Date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the General Partner, shall select four major banks in the London interbank market and request that the principal London offices of those four selected banks provide their offered quotations for deposits in U.S. dollars in amounts of at least $1,000,000 for a period of three months, commencing on the first day of the applicable Series A Preferred Distribution Period, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Series A Preferred LIBOR Determination Date for such Series A Preferred Distribution Period that is representative of single transactions at that time. If two or more quotations are provided, the Preferred Three-Month LIBOR for such Series A Preferred Distribution Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the Calculation Agent, after

44

consultation with the General Partner, will select three major banks in New York City and will request each of them to provide a quotation of the rate offered by it at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Series A Preferred LIBOR Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a three-month period commencing on the first day of such Series A Preferred Distribution Period in an amount of at least $1,000,000 that is representative of single transactions at that time. If three quotations are provided, the Preferred Three-Month LIBOR for such Series A Preferred Distribution Period will be the arithmetic average of the quotations provided. If less than three quotations are provided, the Calculation Agent, after consulting such sources as it deems comparable to any of the foregoing quotations or display page, or any such source as it deems reasonable from which to estimate the Preferred Three-Month LIBOR or any of the foregoing lending rates, shall determine the Preferred Three-Month LIBOR for the applicable Series A Preferred Distribution Period in its sole discretion.

(3) All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with fiveone-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or 0.09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (withone-half cent being rounded upwards).

(D) Unless otherwise determined by the General Partner, Series A Preferred Distributions shall be deemed to have been paid out of deductions from Available Cash with respect to the Quarter ended immediately preceding the Quarter in which the Series A Preferred Distribution is made.

(iii) Voting Rights.

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Series A Preferred Units shall not have any voting rights or rights to consent or approve any action or matter, except as set forth in Section 13.3(c), this Section 5.14(b)(iii), or as otherwise required by the Delaware Act.

(B) Without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, voting as a separate class, the General Partner shall not adopt any amendment to this Agreement that would have a material adverse effect on the powers, preferences, duties, or special rights of the Series A Preferred Units;provided,however, that (1) subject to Section 5.14(b)(iii)(C), the issuance of additional Partnership Securities shall not be deemed to constitute such a material adverse effect for purposes of this Section 5.14(b)(iii)(B) and (2) for purposes of this Section 5.14(b)(iii)(B), no amendment of this Agreement in connection with a merger or other transaction in which the Series A Preferred Units remain Outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged in any respect adverse to the Series A Preferred Unitholders shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the powers, preferences, duties, or special rights of the Series A Preferred Units.

(C) Without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, voting as a class together with holders of any other Series A Preferred Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the Partnership shall not (1) create or issue any Series A Preferred Parity Securities (including any additional Series A Preferred Units) if the cumulative distributions payable on Outstanding Series A Preferred Units (or any Series A Preferred Parity Securities) are in Arrears, (2) create or issue any Series A Preferred Senior Securities, or (3) declare or pay any distribution to holders of Common Units from Available Cash from Capital Surplus.

45

(D) For any matter described in this Section 5.14(b)(iii) in which the Series A Preferred Unitholders are entitled to vote as a class (whether separately or together with the holders of any Series A Preferred Parity Securities), such Series A Preferred Unitholders shall be entitled to one vote per Series A Preferred Unit. Any Series A Preferred Units held by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or their controlled Affiliates shall not be entitled to vote.

(E) Notwithstanding Section 5.14(b)(iii)(B) and Section 5.14(b)(iii)(C), no vote of the Series A Preferred Unitholders shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such action is to take effect, provision is made for the redemption of all Series A Preferred Units at the time Outstanding.

(iv) Optional Redemption; Series A Preferred Ratings Event

(A) The Partnership shall have the right (1) at any time, and from time to time, on or after December 15, 2022, (2) at any time within 120 days after the conclusion of any review or appeal process instituted by the Partnership following the occurrence of a Series A Preferred Ratings Event, or (3) at any time within 120 days after the first date on which a Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, in each case, to redeem the Series A Preferred Units, which redemption may be in whole or in part (except with respect to a redemption pursuant to clause (2) of this Section 5.14(b)(iv)(A) which shall be in whole but not in part), using any source of funds legally available for such purpose. Any such redemption shall occur on a date set by the General Partner (the “Series A Preferred Redemption Date”). The Partnership shall effect any such redemption by paying cash for each Series A Preferred Unit to be redeemed equal to 100% (in the case of a redemption described in clause (1) or (3) of this Section 5.14(b)(iv)(A)), or 102% (in the case of a redemption described in clause (2) of this Section 5.14(b)(iv)(A)), of the Series A Preferred Liquidation Preference for such Series A Preferred Unit on such Series A Preferred Redemption Date plus an amount equal to all unpaid Series A Preferred Distributions thereon from the Series A Preferred Original Issue Date to, but not including, the Series A Preferred Redemption Date (whether or not such distributions shall have been declared) (the “Series APreferred Redemption Price”). So long as the Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed are held of record by the nominee of the Depositary, the Series A Preferred Redemption Price shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Depositary on the Series A Preferred Redemption Date.

(B) The Partnership shall give notice of any redemption by mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the scheduled Series A Preferred Redemption Date to the Series A Preferred Unitholders (as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) of any Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed as such Series A Preferred Unitholders’ names appear on the books of the Transfer Agent and at the address of such Series A Preferred Unitholders shown therein. Such notice (the “Series A Preferred Redemption Notice”) shall state, as applicable: (1) the Series A Preferred Redemption Date, (2) the number of Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed and, if less than all Outstanding Series A Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the number (and in the case of Series A Preferred Units in certificated form, the identification) of Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed from such Series A Preferred Unitholder, (3) the Series A Preferred Redemption Price, (4) the place where any Series A Preferred Units in certificated form are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Series A Preferred Redemption Price therefor (which shall occur automatically if the Certificate representing such Series A Preferred Units is issued in the name of the Depositary or its nominee), and (5) that distributions on the Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease to accumulate from and after such Series A Preferred Redemption Date.

46

(C) If the Partnership elects to redeem less than all of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, the number of Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed shall be determined by the General Partner, and such Series A Preferred Units shall be redeemed by such method of selection as the Depositary shall determine, either Pro Rata or by lot, with adjustments to avoid redemption of fractional Series A Preferred Units. The aggregate Series A Preferred Redemption Price for any such partial redemption of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units shall be allocated correspondingly among the redeemed Series A Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units not redeemed shall remain Outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided in this Section 5.14.

(D) If the Partnership gives or causes to be given a Series A Preferred Redemption Notice, the Partnership shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the Series A Preferred Units as to which such Series A Preferred Redemption Notice shall have been given, no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Series A Preferred Redemption Date, and shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Series A Preferred Redemption Price to the Series A Preferred Unitholder whose Series A Preferred Units are to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender (which shall occur automatically if the Certificate representing such Series A Preferred Units is issued in the name of the Depositary or its nominee) of the Certificates therefor as set forth in the Series A Preferred Redemption Notice. If the Series A Preferred Redemption Notice shall have been given, from and after the Series A Preferred Redemption Date, unless the Partnership defaults in providing funds sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the Series A Preferred Redemption Notice, all Series A Preferred Distributions on such Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease to accumulate and all rights of holders of such Series A Preferred Units as Limited Partners with respect to such Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease, except the right to receive the Series A Preferred Redemption Price, and such Series A Preferred Units shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Transfer Agent or be deemed to be Outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. The Series A Preferred Unitholders shall have no claim to the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited with the Paying Agent. Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Partnership for any reason, including redemption of Series A Preferred Units, that remain unclaimed or unpaid after two years after the applicable Series A Preferred Redemption Date or other payment date, as applicable, shall be, to the extent permitted by law, repaid to the Partnership upon its written request, after which repayment the Series A Preferred Unitholders entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to the Partnership. Notwithstanding any Series A Preferred Redemption Notice, there shall be no redemption of any Series A Preferred Units called for redemption until funds sufficient to pay the full Series A Preferred Redemption Price of such Series A Preferred Units shall have been deposited by the Partnership with the Paying Agent.

(E) Any Series A Preferred Units that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Partnership shall be cancelled. If only a portion of the Series A Preferred Units represented by a Certificate shall have been called for redemption, upon surrender of the Certificate to the Paying Agent (which shall occur automatically if the Certificate representing such Series A Preferred Units is registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee), the Partnership shall issue and the Paying Agent shall deliver to the Series A Preferred Unitholders a new Certificate (or adjust the applicable book-entry account) representing the number of Series A Preferred Units represented by the surrendered Certificate that have not been called for redemption.

47

(F) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.14, in the event that full cumulative distributions on the Series A Preferred Units and any Series A Preferred Parity Securities shall not have been paid or declared and set aside for payment, the Partnership shall not be permitted to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, in whole or in part, any Series A Preferred Units or Series A Preferred Parity Securities except pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same relative terms to all Series A Preferred Unitholders and holders of any Series A Preferred Parity Securities. Subject to Section 4.10, so long as any Series A Preferred Units are Outstanding, the Partnership shall not be permitted to redeem, repurchase, or otherwise acquire any Common Units or any other Series A Preferred Junior Securities unless full cumulative distributions on the Series A Preferred Units and any Series A Preferred Parity Securities for all prior and the then-ending Series A Preferred Distribution Periods, with respect to the Series A Preferred Units, and all prior and then ending distribution periods, with respect to any such Series A Preferred Parity Securities, shall have been paid or declared and set aside for payment.

(v) Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, and winding up of the Partnership under Section 12.4 or a sale, exchange, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, either voluntary or involuntary, the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Partnership available for distribution to the Partners or any Assignees, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Partnership to the Record Holders of any other class or series of Partnership Interests other than the Series A Preferred Units, the Series A Preferred Senior Securities, and the Series A Preferred Parity Securities, (A) first, any accumulated and unpaid distributions on the Series A Preferred Units (regardless of whether previously declared) and (B) then, any positive value in each such holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series A Preferred Units. If in the year of such liquidation and winding up, or sale, exchange, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, any such Record Holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series A Preferred Units is less than the aggregate Series A Preferred Base Liquidation Preference of such Series A Preferred Units, then, after the allocations specified in Section 6.1(c)(i)(A) have been made, but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and prior to any other allocation pursuant to this Agreement for such year and any distribution pursuant to the preceding sentence, items of gross income and gain shall be allocated to all Unitholders then holding Series A Preferred Units and Unitholders then holding any Series A Preferred Parity Securities, Pro Rata, until the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit is equal to the Series A Preferred Base Liquidation Preference and the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series A Preferred Parity Security is equal to the liquidation preference of such Series A Preferred Parity Security (and no other allocation pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation). If in the year of such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up any such Record Holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series A Preferred Units is less than the aggregate Series A Preferred Base Liquidation Preference of such Series A Preferred Units after the application of the preceding sentence, then to the extent permitted by applicable law and after making any allocations required under Section 6.1(c)(i)(A), but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, items of gross income and gain for any preceding taxable period(s) with respect to which IRS Form 1065 SchedulesK-1 have not been filed by the Partnership shall be reallocated to all Unitholders then holding Series A Preferred Units and Unitholders then holding any Series A Preferred Parity Securities, Pro Rata, until after making allocations pursuant to this and the immediately preceding sentence the Capital Account in respect of each such Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit is equal to the Series A Preferred Base Liquidation Preference and the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series A Preferred Parity Security is equal to the liquidation preference of such Series A Preferred Parity Security (and no other allocation pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation). After such allocations

48

have been made to the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units and any Outstanding Series A Preferred Parity Securities, any remaining Net Termination Gain or Net Termination Loss shall be allocated to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1(c). At the time of the dissolution of the Partnership, subject toSection 17-804 of the Delaware Act, the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units shall become entitled to receive any distributions in respect of the Series A Preferred Units that are accrued and unpaid as of the date of such distribution, and shall have the status of, and shall be entitled to all remedies available to, a creditor of the Partnership, and such entitlement of the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units to such accrued and unpaid distributions shall have priority over any entitlement of any other Partners or Assignees with respect to any distributions by the Partnership to such other Partners or Assignees except for distributions in respect of Series A Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(ii);provided, however, that the General Partner, as such, will have no liability for any obligations with respect to such distributions to any Record Holder(s) of Series A Preferred Units.

(vi) Rank. The Series A Preferred Units shall each be deemed to rank, as to distributions and amounts payable upon a dissolution or liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Article XII:

(A) senior to any Series A Preferred Junior Securities;

(B) on parity with any Series A Preferred Parity Securities;

(C) junior to any Series A Preferred Senior Securities; and

(D) junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Partnership and other liabilities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against the Partnership.

(vii) No Sinking Fund. The Series A Preferred Units shall not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

(viii) Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner, the Partnership, the Transfer Agent, and the Paying Agent may deem and treat any Series A Preferred Unitholder as the true, lawful, and absolute owner of the applicable Series A Preferred Units for all purposes, and neither the General Partner, the Partnership, nor the Transfer Agent or the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary, except as otherwise provided by law or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline, or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Series A Preferred Units may be listed or admitted to trading, if any.

(ix) Notices. All notices or communications in respect of the Series A Preferred Units shall be sufficiently given if given in writing and delivered in person or by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if given in such other manner as may be permitted in this Section 5.14, this Agreement or by applicable law.

(x) Other Rights; Fiduciary Duties. The Series A Preferred Units and the Series A Preferred Unitholders shall not have any designations, preferences, rights, powers, or duties, other than as set forth in this Agreement or as provided by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty existing at law, in equity or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall owe any duties, including fiduciary duties, or have any liabilities to Series A Preferred Unitholders, other than the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

49

(xi) Change of Control

(A) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event that occurs after the Series A Preferred Original Issue Date, each Series A Preferred Unitholder shall have the right (“Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right”) to convert some or all of the Series A Preferred Units held by such Series A Preferred Unitholder on the Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of Common Units per Series A Preferred Unit that is an amount equal to the Series A Preferred Conversion Ratio (such number of Common Units, the “Series A Preferred Common Unit Conversion Consideration”), unless the Partnership provides notice of its election to redeem Series A Preferred Units prior to the expiration of the Partnership’s redemption right contained in Section 5.14(b)(iv)(A)(3). The “Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date” shall be the date fixed by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, as the date the Series A Preferred Units are entitled to be converted to Series A Preferred Conversion Common Units as provided in this Section 5.14(b)(xi). Such Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date shall be a Business Day that is no fewer than 20 days nor more than 35 days from the date on which the Partnership provides the notice to Series A Preferred Unitholders of the Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right under Section 5.14(b)(xi)(B).

(B) No later than five days following the expiration of the Partnership’s redemption right contained in Section 5.14(b)(iv)(A)(3) or, if earlier waived, the date of the Partnership’s waiver of such right, the Partnership will provide written notice to the Series A Preferred Unitholders that describes the Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right and states: (1) the events constituting the Change of Control Triggering Event; (2) the date of the Change of Control Triggering Event; (3) the date on which the Partnership’s right to redeem the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(iv)(A)(3) expired or was waived; (4) the Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date; (5) the last date on which the Series A Preferred Unitholders may exercise their Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right; (6) the method and period for calculating the Common Unit Price with respect to the Series A Preferred Units; (7) if applicable, the type and amount of Series A Preferred Alternative Conversion Consideration entitled to be received per Series A Preferred Unit; and (8) the procedures that the Series A Preferred Unitholders must follow to exercise the Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right.

(C) Subject to Section 5.9, the “Series A Preferred Conversion Ratio” shall be calculated as the lesser of: (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the Series A Preferred Liquidation Preference as of the Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date is after a Series A Preferred Distribution Record Date and prior to the corresponding Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date, in which case any accumulated and unpaid distribution will be excluded from this amount) by (2) the Common Unit Price and (ii) 58.2581 (the “Series A Preferred Unit Cap”). The General Partner shall make such adjustments to the Common Unit Price with respect to the Series A Preferred Units and the Series A Preferred Unit Cap as it determines to be equitable in view of any splits, combinations, or distributions in the form of equity issuances or the payment of any Series A Preferred Alternative Conversion Consideration to the holders of the Common Units in connection with the Change of Control.

50

(D) In the case of a Change of Control pursuant to which Common Units will be converted into cash, securities, or other property or assets (including any combination thereof) (“Series A Preferred Alternative Conversion Consideration”), each Series A Preferred Unitholder electing to exercise its Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right will receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Units elected by such holder the kind and amount of such Series A Preferred Alternative Conversion Consideration on a per Series A Preferred Unit basis that such Series A Preferred Unitholder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the Change of Control had such Series A Preferred Unitholder held a number of Common Units equal to the Series A Preferred Common Unit Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control; provided that, if the holders of Common Units have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such Change of Control, the consideration that the Series A Preferred Unitholders electing to exercise their Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right will receive will be the form and proportion of the aggregate consideration elected by the holders of Common Units who participate in the determination (based on the weighted average of elections) and will be subject to any limitations to which all holders of Common Units are subject, including, without limitation, pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in the Change of Control. No fractional Common Units will be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Units. Instead, the Partnership shall pay the cash value of such fractional Common Units.

(E) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Partnership provides notice of its election to redeem Series A Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(iv), Series A Preferred Unitholders shall not have any right to convert the Series A Preferred Units that the Partnership has elected to redeem, and any Series A Preferred Units subsequently selected for redemption that have been tendered for conversion shall be redeemed on the Series A Preferred Redemption Date instead of converted on the Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date.

(F) The Partnership shall issue a press release for publication through a news or press organization as is reasonably expected to broadly disseminate the relevant information to the public, or post notice on the website of the Partnership, in any event prior to the opening of business on the first Business Day following any date on which the Partnership (or a third party with its prior written consent) provides the notice described in Section 5.14(b)(xi)(B) to the Series A Preferred Unitholders.

(G) Each Series A Preferred Unitholder electing to exercise its Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right will be required, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date, to notify the Partnership of the number of Series A Preferred Units to be converted pursuant to the Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right and otherwise to comply with any applicable procedures contained in the notice described in Section 5.14(b)(xi)(B) or otherwise required by the Depositary for effecting the conversion.

(H) Upon conversion, the rights of such participating Series A Preferred Unitholder as a holder of the Series A Preferred Units shall cease with respect to such converted Series A Preferred Units, and such Person shall continue to be a Partner and have the rights of a holder of Common Units under this Agreement. Each Series A Preferred Unit shall, upon its Series A Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date, be deemed to be transferred to, and cancelled by, the Partnership in exchange for the issuance of the Series A Preferred Conversion Common Units.

(I) The Partnership shall pay any documentary, stamp, or similar issue or transfer taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of Series A Preferred Conversion Common Units. However, the participating Series A Preferred Unitholder shall pay any tax or duty that may be payable relating to any transfer involving the issuance or delivery of Series A Preferred Conversion Common Units.

Section 5.15Establishment of Terms of Series B Preferred Units.

(a) General. The Partnership hereby designates and creates a series of Units, to be designated as “7.875% Series BFixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units” (the “Series B Preferred Units”), having the preferences, rights, powers, and duties set forth herein, including this Section 5.15. Each Series B Preferred Unit shall be identical in all respects to every other Series B Preferred Unit, except as to the respective dates from which the Series B Preferred Liquidation Preference shall increase or from which Series B Preferred Distributions may begin accruing, to the extent such dates may differ. The Series B Preferred Units represent perpetual equity interests in the Partnership and, except as set forth in Section 5.15(b)(iv) and Section 5.15(b)(xi), shall not give rise to a claim by the Partnership or a Series B Preferred Unitholder for redemption or conversion thereof, as applicable, at a particular date.

(b) Rights of Series B Preferred Units. The Series B Preferred Units shall have the following rights, preferences, and privileges and shall be subject to the following duties and obligations:

(i) Series B Preferred Units.

(A) The authorized number of Series B Preferred Units shall be unlimited. Series B Preferred Units that are purchased or otherwise acquired by the Partnership shall be cancelled.

(B) The Series B Preferred Units shall be represented by one or more global Certificates registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, and no Series B Preferred Unitholder shall be entitled to receive a definitive Certificate evidencing its Series B Preferred Units, unless otherwise required by law or the Depositary gives notice of its intention to resign or is no longer eligible to act as such with respect to the Series B Preferred Units and the Partnership shall have not selected a substitute Depositary within sixty (60) calendar days thereafter. So long as the Depositary shall have been appointed and is serving with respect to the Series B Preferred Units, payments and communications made by the Partnership to Series B Preferred Unitholders shall be made by making payments to, and communicating with, the Depositary.

(ii) Distributions.

(A) Distributions on each Outstanding Series B Preferred Unit shall be cumulative and compounding and shall accumulate at the applicable Series B Preferred Distribution Rate from and including the Series B Preferred Original Issue Date (or, for any subsequently issued and newly Outstanding Series B Preferred Units, from and including the Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date immediately preceding the issue date of such Series B Preferred Units) until such time as the Partnership pays the Series B Preferred Distribution or redeems such Series B Preferred Unit in accordance with Section 5.15(b)(iv) or such Series B Preferred Unit is converted in accordance with Section 5.15(b)(xi), whether or not such Series B Preferred Distributions shall have been declared. Series B Preferred Unitholders shall be entitled to receive Series B Preferred Distributions from time to time out

52

of any assets of the Partnership legally available for the payment of distributions at the Series B Preferred Distribution Rate per Series B Preferred Unit when, as, and if declared by the General Partner, prior to any other distributions made in respect of any other Units pursuant to Section 6.3. Series B Preferred Distributions, to the extent declared by the General Partner to be paid by the Partnership in accordance with this Section 5.15(b)(ii), shall be paid, in arrears, on each Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date. Series B Preferred Distributions shall accumulate in each Series B Preferred Distribution Period from and including the preceding Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date (other than the initial Series B Preferred Distribution Period, which shall commence on and include the Series B Preferred Original Issue Date), to, but not including, the next Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date for such Series B Preferred Distribution Period;provided, that distributions shall accrue on accumulated but unpaid Series B Preferred Distributions at the Series B Preferred Distribution Rate. If any Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date otherwise would occur on a date that is not a Business Day, declared Series B Preferred Distributions shall be paid on the immediately succeeding Business Day without the accumulation of additional distributions. During the Series B Preferred Fixed Rate Period, Series B Preferred Distributions shall be payable based on a360-day year consisting of twelve30-day months. During the Series B Preferred Floating Rate Period, Series B Preferred Distributions shall be computed by multiplying the Series B Preferred Distribution Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the actual number of days elapsed during that Series B Preferred Distribution Period (determined by including the first day of such Series B Preferred Distribution Period and excluding the last day, which is the Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date), and the denominator of which will be 360, and by multiplying the result by the aggregate Series B Preferred Liquidation Preference of all Outstanding Series B Preferred Units. All Series B Preferred Distributions accrued by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 5.15(b)(ii) shall be payable without regard to income of the Partnership and shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as guaranteed payments for the use of capital under Section 707(c) of the Code, includable in ordinary income of a Series B Preferred Unitholder in its taxable year in which the Partnership deducts such payments as accrued. The guaranteed payment with respect to any Series B Preferred Distribution Period shall be for the account of the holders of Series B Preferred Units as of the applicable Series B Preferred Distribution Record Date.

(B) Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date, the Partnership shall pay those Series B Preferred Distributions, if any, that shall have been declared by the General Partner to Series B Preferred Unitholders on the Record Date for the applicable Series B Preferred Distribution. The Record Date (the “Series B Preferred Distribution Record Date”) for the payment of any Series B Preferred Distributions shall be as of the close of business on the first Business Day of the month of the applicable Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date, except that in the case of payments of Series B Preferred Distributions in Arrears, the Series B Preferred Distribution Record Date with respect to a Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date shall be such date as may be designated by the General Partner in accordance with this Section 5.15(b)(ii). So long as any Series B Preferred Units are Outstanding, no distribution shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment on any Series B Preferred Junior Securities (other than a distribution payable solely in Series B Preferred Junior Securities) unless full cumulative Series B Preferred Distributions have been or contemporaneously are being paid or set apart for payment on all Outstanding Series B Preferred Units (and distributions on any other Series B Preferred Parity Securities) through the most recent respective Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date (and distribution payment date with respect to such Series B Preferred Parity Securities, if any);provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.15(b)(ii)(B), if a distribution period with respect to a class of Series B Preferred Junior Securities

53

or Series B Preferred Parity Securities is shorter than the Series B Preferred Distribution Period, the General Partner may declare and pay regular distributions with respect to such Series B Preferred Junior Securities or Series B Preferred Parity Securities, so long as, at the time of declaration of such distribution, (i) there are no Series B Preferred Distributions in Arrears, and (ii) the General Partner expects to have sufficient funds to pay the full distribution in respect of the Series B Preferred Units on the next successive Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date. Accumulated Series B Preferred Distributions in Arrears for any past Series B Preferred Distribution Period may be declared by the General Partner and paid on any date fixed by the General Partner, whether or not a Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date, to Series B Preferred Unitholders on the Record Date for such payment, which may not be less than 10 days before such payment date. Subject to the next succeeding sentence, if all accumulated Series B Preferred Distributions in Arrears on all Outstanding Series B Preferred Units and all accumulated distributions in arrears on any Series B Preferred Parity Securities shall not have been declared and paid, or if sufficient funds for the payment thereof shall not have been set apart, payment of accumulated distributions in Arrears on the Series B Preferred Units and accumulated distributions in arrears on any such Series B Preferred Parity Securities shall be made in order of their respective distribution payment dates, commencing with the earliest distribution payment date. If less than all distributions payable with respect to all Series B Preferred Units and any other Series B Preferred Parity Securities are paid, any partial payment shall be made Pro Rata with respect to the Series B Preferred Units and any such other Series B Preferred Parity Securities entitled to a distribution payment at such time in proportion to the aggregate distribution amounts remaining due in respect of such Series B Preferred Units and such other Series B Preferred Parity Securities at such time. Subject to Section 12.4 and Section 5.15(b)(iv), Series B Preferred Unitholders shall not be entitled to any distribution, whether payable in cash, property or Partnership Securities, in excess of full cumulative Series B Preferred Distributions. Except insofar as distributions accrue on the amount of any accumulated and unpaid Series B Preferred Distributions as described in Section 5.15(b)(ii)(A), no interest or sum of money in lieu of interest shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment which may be in Arrears on the Series B Preferred Units. So long as the Series B Preferred Units are held of record by the Depositary or its nominee, declared Series B Preferred Distributions shall be paid to the Depositary insame-day funds on each Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date or other distribution payment date in the case of payments for Series B Preferred Distributions in Arrears.

(C) The Preferred Three-Month LIBOR for each Series B Preferred Distribution Period during the Series B Preferred Floating Rate Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, as of the applicable Series B Preferred LIBOR Determination Date, in accordance with Section 5.14(b)(ii)(C), with any reference therein to “Series A Preferred Distribution Period” being replaced with “Series B Preferred Distribution Period,” any reference to “Series A Preferred Floating Rate Period” being replaced with “Series B Preferred Floating Rate Period” and any reference therein to “Series A Preferred LIBOR Determination Date” being replaced with “Series B Preferred LIBOR Determination Date.”

(D) Unless otherwise determined by the General Partner, Series B Preferred Distributions shall be deemed to have been paid out of deductions from Available Cash with respect to the Quarter ended immediately preceding the Quarter in which the Series B Preferred Distribution is made.

54

(iii) Voting Rights.

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Series B Preferred Units shall not have any voting rights or rights to consent or approve any action or matter, except as set forth in Section 13.3(c), this Section 5.15(b)(iii), or as otherwise required by the Delaware Act.

(B) Without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Series B Preferred Units, voting as a separate class, the General Partner shall not adopt any amendment to this Agreement that would have a material adverse effect on the powers, preferences, duties, or special rights of the Series B Preferred Units;provided,however, that (1) subject to Section 5.15(b)(iii)(C), the issuance of additional Partnership Securities shall not be deemed to constitute such a material adverse effect for purposes of this Section 5.15(b)(iii)(B) and (2) for purposes of this Section 5.15(b)(iii)(B), no amendment of this Agreement in connection with a merger or other transaction in which the Series B Preferred Units remain Outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged in any respect adverse to the Series B Preferred Unitholders shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the powers, preferences, duties, or special rights of the Series B Preferred Units.

(C) Without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Series B Preferred Units, voting as a class together with holders of any other Series B Preferred Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the Partnership shall not (1) create or issue any Series B Preferred Parity Securities (including any additional Series B Preferred Units) if the cumulative distributions payable on Outstanding Series B Preferred Units (or any Series B Preferred Parity Securities) are in Arrears, (2) create or issue any Series B Preferred Senior Securities, or (3) declare or pay any distribution to holders of Common Units from Available Cash from Capital Surplus.

(D) For any matter described in this Section 5.15(b)(iii) in which the Series B Preferred Unitholders are entitled to vote as a class (whether separately or together with the holders of any Series B Preferred Parity Securities), such Series B Preferred Unitholders shall be entitled to one vote per Series B Preferred Unit. Any Series B Preferred Units held by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or their controlled Affiliates shall not be entitled to vote.

(E) Notwithstanding Section 5.15(b)(iii)(B) and Section 5.15(b)(iii)(C), no vote of the Series B Preferred Unitholders shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such action is to take effect, provision is made for the redemption of all Series B Preferred Units at the time Outstanding.

(iv) Optional Redemption; Series B Preferred Ratings Event

(A) The Partnership shall have the right (1) at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 15, 2023, (2) at any time within 120 days after the conclusion of any review or appeal process instituted by the Partnership following the occurrence of a Series B Preferred Ratings Event, or (3) at any time within 120 days after the first date on which a Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, in each case, to redeem the Series B Preferred Units, which redemption may be in whole or in part (except with respect to a redemption pursuant to clause (2) of this Section 5.15(b)(iv)(A) which shall be in whole but not in part), using any source of funds legally available for such purpose. Any such redemption shall occur on a date set by the General Partner (the “Series B Preferred Redemption Date”). The Partnership shall effect any such redemption by paying cash for each Series B Preferred Unit to be

55

redeemed equal to 100% (in the case of a redemption described in clause (1) or (3) of this Section 5.15(b)(iv)(A)), or 102% (in the case of a redemption described in clause (2) of this Section 5.15(b)(iv)(A)), of the Series B Preferred Liquidation Preference for such Series B Preferred Unit on such Series B Preferred Redemption Date plus an amount equal to all unpaid Series B Preferred Distributions thereon from the Series B Preferred Original Issue Date to, but not including, the Series B Preferred Redemption Date (whether or not such distributions shall have been declared) (the “Series B Preferred Redemption Price”). So long as the Series B Preferred Units to be redeemed are held of record by the nominee of the Depositary, the Series B Preferred Redemption Price shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Depositary on the Series B Preferred Redemption Date.

(B) The Partnership shall give notice of any redemption by mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the scheduled Series B Preferred Redemption Date to the Series B Preferred Unitholders (as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) of any Series B Preferred Units to be redeemed as such Series B Preferred Unitholders’ names appear on the books of the Transfer Agent and at the address of such Series B Preferred Unitholders shown therein. Such notice (the “Series B Preferred Redemption Notice”) shall state, as applicable: (1) the Series B Preferred Redemption Date, (2) the number of Series B Preferred Units to be redeemed and, if less than all Outstanding Series B Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the number (and in the case of Series B Preferred Units in certificated form, the identification) of Series B Preferred Units to be redeemed from such Series B Preferred Unitholder, (3) the Series B Preferred Redemption Price, (4) the place where any Series B Preferred Units in certificated form are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Series B Preferred Redemption Price therefor (which shall occur automatically if the Certificate representing such Series B Preferred Units is issued in the name of the Depositary or its nominee), and (5) that distributions on the Series B Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease to accumulate from and after such Series B Preferred Redemption Date.

(C) If the Partnership elects to redeem less than all of the Outstanding Series B Preferred Units, the number of Series B Preferred Units to be redeemed shall be determined by the General Partner, and such Series B Preferred Units shall be redeemed by such method of selection as the Depositary shall determine, either Pro Rata or by lot, with adjustments to avoid redemption of fractional Series B Preferred Units. The aggregate Series B Preferred Redemption Price for any such partial redemption of the Outstanding Series B Preferred Units shall be allocated correspondingly among the redeemed Series B Preferred Units. The Series B Preferred Units not redeemed shall remain Outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided in this Section 5.15.

(D) If the Partnership gives or causes to be given a Series B Preferred Redemption Notice, the Partnership shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the Series B Preferred Units as to which such Series B Preferred Redemption Notice shall have been given, no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Series B Preferred Redemption Date, and shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Series B Preferred Redemption Price to the Series B Preferred Unitholder whose Series B Preferred Units are to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender (which shall occur automatically if the Certificate representing such Series B Preferred Units is issued in the name of the Depositary or its nominee) of the Certificates therefor as set forth in the Series B Preferred Redemption Notice. If the Series B Preferred Redemption Notice shall have been given, from and after the Series B Preferred Redemption Date, unless the Partnership defaults in providing funds sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the

56

Series B Preferred Redemption Notice, all Series B Preferred Distributions on such Series B Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease to accumulate and all rights of holders of such Series B Preferred Units as Limited Partners with respect to such Series B Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease, except the right to receive the Series B Preferred Redemption Price, and such Series B Preferred Units shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Transfer Agent or be deemed to be Outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. The Series B Preferred Unitholders shall have no claim to the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited with the Paying Agent. Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Partnership for any reason, including redemption of Series B Preferred Units, that remain unclaimed or unpaid after two years after the applicable Series B Preferred Redemption Date or other payment date, as applicable, shall be, to the extent permitted by law, repaid to the Partnership upon its written request, after which repayment the Series B Preferred Unitholders entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to the Partnership. Notwithstanding any Series B Preferred Redemption Notice, there shall be no redemption of any Series B Preferred Units called for redemption until funds sufficient to pay the full Series B Preferred Redemption Price of such Series B Preferred Units shall have been deposited by the Partnership with the Paying Agent.

(E) Any Series B Preferred Units that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Partnership shall be cancelled. If only a portion of the Series B Preferred Units represented by a Certificate shall have been called for redemption, upon surrender of the Certificate to the Paying Agent (which shall occur automatically if the Certificate representing such Series B Preferred Units is registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee), the Partnership shall issue and the Paying Agent shall deliver to the Series B Preferred Unitholders a new Certificate (or adjust the applicable book-entry account) representing the number of Series B Preferred Units represented by the surrendered Certificate that have not been called for redemption.

(F) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.15, in the event that full cumulative distributions on the Series B Preferred Units and any Series B Preferred Parity Securities shall not have been paid or declared and set aside for payment, the Partnership shall not be permitted to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, in whole or in part, any Series B Preferred Units or Series B Preferred Parity Securities except pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same relative terms to all Series B Preferred Unitholders and holders of any Series B Preferred Parity Securities. Subject to Section 4.10, so long as any Series B Preferred Units are Outstanding, the Partnership shall not be permitted to redeem, repurchase, or otherwise acquire any Common Units or any other Series B Preferred Junior Securities unless full cumulative distributions on the Series B Preferred Units and any Series B Preferred Parity Securities for all prior and the then-ending Series B Preferred Distribution Periods, with respect to the Series B Preferred Units, and all prior and then ending distribution periods, with respect to any such Series B Preferred Parity Securities, shall have been paid or declared and set aside for payment.

(v) Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, and winding up of the Partnership under Section 12.4 or a sale, exchange, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, either voluntary or involuntary, the Record Holders of the Series B Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Partnership available for distribution to the Partners or any Assignees, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Partnership to the Record Holders of any other class or series of Partnership Interests other than the Series B Preferred Units, the Series B Preferred Senior Securities, and the Series B Preferred Parity Securities, (A) first, any accumulated and unpaid distributions on the Series B Preferred Units (regardless of whether previously

57

declared) and (B) then, any positive value in each such holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series B Preferred Units. If in the year of such liquidation and winding up, or sale, exchange, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, any such Record Holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series B Preferred Units is less than the aggregate Series B Preferred Base Liquidation Preference of such Series B Preferred Units, then, after the allocations specified in Section 6.1(c)(i)(A) have been made, but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and prior to any other allocation pursuant to this Agreement for such year and any distribution pursuant to the preceding sentence, items of gross income and gain shall be allocated to all Unitholders then holding Series B Preferred Units and Unitholders then holding any Series B Preferred Parity Securities, Pro Rata, until the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series B Preferred Unit is equal to the Series B Preferred Base Liquidation Preference and the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series B Preferred Parity Security is equal to the liquidation preference of such Series B Preferred Parity Security (and no other allocation pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation). If in the year of such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up any such Record Holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series B Preferred Units is less than the aggregate Series B Preferred Base Liquidation Preference of such Series B Preferred Units after the application of the preceding sentence, then to the extent permitted by applicable law and after making any allocations required under Section 6.1(c)(i)(A), but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, items of gross income and gain for any preceding taxable period(s) with respect to which IRS Form 1065 SchedulesK-1 have not been filed by the Partnership shall be reallocated to all Unitholders then holding Series B Preferred Units and Unitholders then holding any Series B Preferred Parity Securities, Pro Rata, until after making allocations pursuant to this and the immediately preceding sentence the Capital Account in respect of each such Outstanding Series B Preferred Unit is equal to the Series B Preferred Base Liquidation Preference and the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series B Preferred Parity Security is equal to the liquidation preference of such Series B Preferred Parity Security (and no other allocation pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation). After such allocations have been made to the Outstanding Series B Preferred Units and any Outstanding Series B Preferred Parity Securities, any remaining Net Termination Gain or Net Termination Loss shall be allocated to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1(c). At the time of the dissolution of the Partnership, subject toSection 17-804 of the Delaware Act, the Record Holders of the Series B Preferred Units shall become entitled to receive any distributions in respect of the Series B Preferred Units that are accrued and unpaid as of the date of such distribution, and shall have the status of, and shall be entitled to all remedies available to, a creditor of the Partnership, and such entitlement of the Record Holders of the Series B Preferred Units to such accrued and unpaid distributions shall have priority over any entitlement of any other Partners or Assignees with respect to any distributions by the Partnership to such other Partners or Assignees except for distributions in respect of Series B Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.15(b)(ii);provided, however, that the General Partner, as such, will have no liability for any obligations with respect to such distributions to any Record Holder(s) of Series B Preferred Units.

(vi) Rank. The Series B Preferred Units shall each be deemed to rank, as to distributions and amounts payable upon a dissolution or liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Article XII:

(A) senior to any Series B Preferred Junior Securities;

(B) on parity with any Series B Preferred Parity Securities;

(C) junior to any Series B Preferred Senior Securities; and

58

(D) junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Partnership and other liabilities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against the Partnership.

(vii) No Sinking Fund. The Series B Preferred Units shall not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

(viii) Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner, the Partnership, the Transfer Agent, and the Paying Agent may deem and treat any Series B Preferred Unitholder as the true, lawful, and absolute owner of the applicable Series B Preferred Units for all purposes, and neither the General Partner, the Partnership, nor the Transfer Agent or the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary, except as otherwise provided by law or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline, or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Series B Preferred Units may be listed or admitted to trading, if any.

(ix) Notices. All notices or communications in respect of the Series B Preferred Units shall be sufficiently given if given in writing and delivered in person or by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if given in such other manner as may be permitted in this Section 5.15, this Agreement or by applicable law.

(x) Other Rights; Fiduciary Duties. The Series B Preferred Units and the Series B Preferred Unitholders shall not have any designations, preferences, rights, powers, or duties, other than as set forth in this Agreement or as provided by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty existing at law, in equity or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall owe any duties, including fiduciary duties, or have any liabilities to Series B Preferred Unitholders, other than the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(xi) Change of Control

(A) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event that occurs after the Series B Preferred Original Issue Date, each Series B Preferred Unitholder shall have the right (“Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right”) to convert some or all of the Series B Preferred Units held by such Series B Preferred Unitholder on the Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of Common Units per Series B Preferred Unit that is an amount equal to the Series B Preferred Conversion Ratio (such number of Common Units, the “Series B Preferred Common Unit Conversion Consideration”), unless the Partnership provides notice of its election to redeem Series B Preferred Units prior to the expiration of the Partnership’s redemption right contained in Section 5.15(b)(iv)(A)(3). The “Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date” shall be the date fixed by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, as the date the Series B Preferred Units are entitled to be converted to Series B Preferred Conversion Common Units as provided in this Section 5.15(b)(xi). Such Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date shall be a Business Day that is no fewer than 20 days nor more than 35 days from the date on which the Partnership provides the notice to Series B Preferred Unitholders of the Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right under Section 5.15(b)(xi)(B).

59

(B) No later than five days following the expiration of the Partnership’s redemption right contained in Section 5.15(b)(iv)(A)(3) or, if earlier waived, the date of the Partnership’s waiver of such right, the Partnership will provide written notice to the Series B Preferred Unitholders that describes the Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right and states: (1) the events constituting the Change of Control Triggering Event; (2) the date of the Change of Control Triggering Event; (3) the date on which the Partnership’s right to redeem the Outstanding Series B Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.15(b)(iv)(A)(3) expired or was waived; (4) the Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date; (5) the last date on which the Series B Preferred Unitholders may exercise their Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right; (6) the method and period for calculating the Common Unit Price with respect to the Series B Preferred Units; (7) if applicable, the type and amount of Series B Preferred Alternative Conversion Consideration entitled to be received per Series B Preferred Unit; and (8) the procedures that the Series B Preferred Unitholders must follow to exercise the Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right.

(C) Subject to Section 5.9, the “Series B Preferred Conversion Ratio” shall be calculated as the lesser of: (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the Series B Preferred Liquidation Preference as of the Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date is after a Series B Preferred Distribution Record Date and prior to the corresponding Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date, in which case any accumulated and unpaid distribution will be excluded from this amount) by (2) the Common Unit Price and (ii) 1.3426 (the “Series B Preferred Unit Cap”). The General Partner shall make such adjustments to the Common Unit Price with respect to the Series B Preferred Units and the Series B Preferred Unit Cap as it determines to be equitable in view of any splits, combinations, or distributions in the form of equity issuances or the payment of any Series B Preferred Alternative Conversion Consideration to the holders of the Common Units in connection with the Change of Control.

(D) In the case of a Change of Control pursuant to which Common Units will be converted into cash, securities, or other property or assets (including any combination thereof) (“Series B Preferred Alternative Conversion Consideration”), each Series B Preferred Unitholder electing to exercise its Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right will receive upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Units elected by such holder the kind and amount of such Series B Preferred Alternative Conversion Consideration on a per Series B Preferred Unit basis that such Series B Preferred Unitholder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the Change of Control had such Series B Preferred Unitholder held a number of Common Units equal to the Series B Preferred Common Unit Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control; provided, that, if the holders of Common Units have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such Change of Control, the consideration that the Series B Preferred Unitholders electing to exercise their Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right will receive will be the form and proportion of the aggregate consideration elected by the holders of Common Units who participate in the determination (based on the weighted average of elections) and will be subject to any limitations to which all holders of Common Units are subject, including, without limitation, pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in the Change of Control. No fractional Common Units will be issued upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Units. Instead, the Partnership shall pay the cash value of such fractional Common Units.

(E) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Partnership provides notice of its election to redeem Series B Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.15(b)(iv), Series B Preferred Unitholders shall not have any right to convert the Series B Preferred Units that the Partnership has elected to redeem, and any Series B Preferred Units subsequently selected for redemption that have been tendered for conversion shall be redeemed on the Series B Preferred Redemption Date instead of converted on the Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date.

60

(F) The Partnership shall issue a press release for publication through a news or press organization as is reasonably expected to broadly disseminate the relevant information to the public, or post notice on the website of the Partnership, in any event prior to the opening of business on the first Business Day following any date on which the Partnership (or a third party with its prior written consent) provides the notice described in Section 5.15(b)(xi)(B) to the Series B Preferred Unitholders.

(G) Each Series B Preferred Unitholder electing to exercise its Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right will be required, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date, to notify the Partnership of the number of Series B Preferred Units to be converted pursuant to the Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right and otherwise to comply with any applicable procedures contained in the notice described in Section 5.15(b)(xi)(B) or otherwise required by the Depositary for effecting the conversion.

(H) Upon conversion, the rights of such participating Series B Preferred Unitholder as a holder of the Series B Preferred Units shall cease with respect to such converted Series B Preferred Units, and such Person shall continue to be a Partner and have the rights of a holder of Common Units under this Agreement. Each Series B Preferred Unit shall, upon its Series B Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date, be deemed to be transferred to, and cancelled by, the Partnership in exchange for the issuance of the Series B Preferred Conversion Common Units.

(I) The Partnership shall pay any documentary, stamp, or similar issue or transfer taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of Series B Preferred Conversion Common Units. However, the participating Series B Preferred Unitholder shall pay any tax or duty that may be payable relating to any transfer involving the issuance or delivery of Series B Preferred Conversion Common Units.

Section 5.16Establishment of Terms of Series C Preferred Units.

(a) General. The Partnership hereby designates and creates a series of Units, to be designated as “7.95% Series CFixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units” (the “Series C Preferred Units”), having the preferences, rights, powers, and duties set forth herein, including this Section 5.16. Each Series C Preferred Unit shall be identical in all respects to every other Series C Preferred Unit, except as to the respective dates from which the Series C Preferred Liquidation Preference shall increase or from which Series C Preferred Distributions may begin accruing, to the extent such dates may differ. The Series C Preferred Units represent perpetual equity interests in the Partnership and, except as set forth in Section 5.16(b)(iv) and Section 5.16(b)(xi), shall not give rise to a claim by the Partnership or a Series C Preferred Unitholder for redemption or conversion thereof, as applicable, at a particular date.

(b) Rights of Series C Preferred Units. The Series C Preferred Units shall have the following rights, preferences, and privileges and shall be subject to the following duties and obligations:

(i) Series C Preferred Units.

61

(A) The authorized number of Series C Preferred Units shall be unlimited. Series C Preferred Units that are purchased or otherwise acquired by the Partnership shall be cancelled.

(B) The Series C Preferred Units shall be represented by one or more global Certificates registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, and no Series C Preferred Unitholder shall be entitled to receive a definitive Certificate evidencing its Series C Preferred Units, unless otherwise required by law or the Depositary gives notice of its intention to resign or is no longer eligible to act as such with respect to the Series C Preferred Units and the Partnership shall have not selected a substitute Depositary within sixty (60) calendar days thereafter. So long as the Depositary shall have been appointed and is serving with respect to the Series C Preferred Units, payments and communications made by the Partnership to Series C Preferred Unitholders shall be made by making payments to, and communicating with, the Depositary.

(ii) Distributions.

(A) Distributions on each Outstanding Series C Preferred Unit shall be cumulative and compounding and shall accumulate at the applicable Series C Preferred Distribution Rate from and including the Series C Preferred Original Issue Date (or, for any subsequently issued and newly Outstanding Series C Preferred Units, from and including the Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date immediately preceding the issue date of such Series C Preferred Units) until such time as the Partnership pays the Series C Preferred Distribution or redeems such Series C Preferred Unit in accordance with Section 5.16(b)(iv) or such Series C Preferred Unit is converted in accordance with Section 5.16(b)(xi), whether or not such Series C Preferred Distributions shall have been declared. Series C Preferred Unitholders shall be entitled to receive Series C Preferred Distributions from time to time out of any assets of the Partnership legally available for the payment of distributions at the Series C Preferred Distribution Rate per Series C Preferred Unit when, as, and if declared by the General Partner, prior to any other distributions made in respect of any other Units pursuant to Section 6.3. Series C Preferred Distributions, to the extent declared by the General Partner to be paid by the Partnership in accordance with this Section 5.16(b)(ii), shall be paid, in arrears, on each Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date. Series C Preferred Distributions shall accumulate in each Series C Preferred Distribution Period from and including the preceding Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date (other than the initial Series C Preferred Distribution Period, which shall commence on and include the Series C Preferred Original Issue Date), to, but not including, the next Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date for such Series C Preferred Distribution Period;provided, that distributions shall accrue on accumulated but unpaid Series C Preferred Distributions at the Series C Preferred Distribution Rate. If any Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date otherwise would occur on a date that is not a Business Day, declared Series C Preferred Distributions shall be paid on the immediately succeeding Business Day without the accumulation of additional distributions. During the Series C Preferred Fixed Rate Period, Series C Preferred Distributions shall be payable based on a360-day year consisting of twelve30-day months. During the Series C Preferred Floating Rate Period, Series C Preferred Distributions shall be computed by multiplying the Series C Preferred Distribution Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the actual number of days elapsed during that Series C Preferred Distribution Period (determined by including the first day of such Series C Preferred Distribution Period and excluding the last day, which is the Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date), and the denominator of which will be 360, and by multiplying the result by the aggregate Series C Preferred Liquidation Preference of all Outstanding Series C Preferred Units. All Series C Preferred Distributions accrued by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 5.16(b)(ii) shall be payable without regard to income of the Partnership and shall be treated for federal income tax

62

purposes as guaranteed payments for the use of capital under Section 707(c) of the Code, includable in ordinary income of a Series C Preferred Unitholder in its taxable year in which the Partnership deducts such payments as accrued. The guaranteed payment with respect to any Series C Preferred Distribution Period shall be for the account of the holders of Series C Preferred Units as of the applicable Series C Preferred Distribution Record Date.

(B) Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date, the Partnership shall pay those Series C Preferred Distributions, if any, that shall have been declared by the General Partner to Series C Preferred Unitholders on the Record Date for the applicable Series C Preferred Distribution. The Record Date (the “Series C Preferred Distribution Record Date”) for the payment of any Series C Preferred Distributions shall be as of the close of business on the first Business Day of the month of the applicable Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date, except that in the case of payments of Series C Preferred Distributions in Arrears, the Series C Preferred Distribution Record Date with respect to a Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date shall be such date as may be designated by the General Partner in accordance with this Section 5.16(b)(ii). So long as any Series C Preferred Units are Outstanding, no distribution shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment on any Series C Preferred Junior Securities (other than a distribution payable solely in Series C Preferred Junior Securities) unless full cumulative Series C Preferred Distributions have been or contemporaneously are being paid or set apart for payment on all Outstanding Series C Preferred Units (and distributions on any other Series C Preferred Parity Securities) through the most recent respective Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date (and distribution payment date with respect to such Series C Preferred Parity Securities, if any);provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.16(b)(ii)(B), if a distribution period with respect to a class of Series C Preferred Junior Securities or Series C Preferred Parity Securities is shorter than the Series C Preferred Distribution Period, the General Partner may declare and pay regular distributions with respect to such Series C Preferred Junior Securities or Series C Preferred Parity Securities, so long as, at the time of declaration of such distribution, (i) there are no Series C Preferred Distributions in Arrears, and (ii) the General Partner expects to have sufficient funds to pay the full distribution in respect of the Series C Preferred Units on the next successive Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date. Accumulated Series C Preferred Distributions in Arrears for any past Series C Preferred Distribution Period may be declared by the General Partner and paid on any date fixed by the General Partner, whether or not a Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date, to Series C Preferred Unitholders on the Record Date for such payment, which may not be less than 10 days before such payment date. Subject to the next succeeding sentence, if all accumulated Series C Preferred Distributions in Arrears on all Outstanding Series C Preferred Units and all accumulated distributions in arrears on any Series C Preferred Parity Securities shall not have been declared and paid, or if sufficient funds for the payment thereof shall not have been set apart, payment of accumulated distributions in Arrears on the Series C Preferred Units and accumulated distributions in arrears on any such Series C Preferred Parity Securities shall be made in order of their respective distribution payment dates, commencing with the earliest distribution payment date. If less than all distributions payable with respect to all Series C Preferred Units and any other Series C Preferred Parity Securities are paid, any partial payment shall be made Pro Rata with respect to the Series C Preferred Units and any such other Series C Preferred Parity Securities entitled to a distribution payment at such time in proportion to the aggregate distribution amounts remaining due in respect of such Series C Preferred Units and such other Series C Preferred Parity Securities at such time. Subject to Section 12.4 and Section 5.16(b)(iv), Series C Preferred Unitholders shall not be entitled to any distribution, whether payable in cash, property or Partnership Securities, in excess of full cumulative Series C Preferred Distributions. Except insofar as distributions

63

accrue on the amount of any accumulated and unpaid Series C Preferred Distributions as described in Section 5.16(b)(ii)(A), no interest or sum of money in lieu of interest shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment which may be in Arrears on the Series C Preferred Units. So long as the Series C Preferred Units are held of record by the Depositary or its nominee, declared Series C Preferred Distributions shall be paid to the Depositary insame-day funds on each Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date or other distribution payment date in the case of payments for Series C Preferred Distributions in Arrears.

(C) The Preferred Three-Month LIBOR for each Series C Preferred Distribution Period during the Series C Preferred Floating Rate Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, as of the applicable Series C Preferred LIBOR Determination Date, in accordance with Section 5.14(b)(ii)(C), with any reference therein to “Series A Preferred Distribution Period” being replaced with “Series C Preferred Distribution Period,” any reference to “Series A Preferred Floating Rate Period” being replaced with “Series C Preferred Floating Rate Period” and any reference therein to “Series A Preferred LIBOR Determination Date” being replaced with “Series C Preferred LIBOR Determination Date.”

(D) Unless otherwise determined by the General Partner, Series C Preferred Distributions shall be deemed to have been paid out of deductions from Available Cash with respect to the Quarter ended immediately preceding the Quarter in which the Series C Preferred Distribution is made.

(iii) Voting Rights.

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Series C Preferred Units shall not have any voting rights or rights to consent or approve any action or matter, except as set forth in Section 13.3(c), this Section 5.16(b)(iii), or as otherwise required by the Delaware Act.

(B) Without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Series C Preferred Units, voting as a separate class, the General Partner shall not adopt any amendment to this Agreement that would have a material adverse effect on the powers, preferences, duties, or special rights of the Series C Preferred Units;provided,however, that (1) subject to Section 5.16(b)(iii)(C), the issuance of additional Partnership Securities shall not be deemed to constitute such a material adverse effect for purposes of this Section 5.16(b)(iii)(B) and (2) for purposes of this Section 5.16(b)(iii)(B), no amendment of this Agreement in connection with a merger or other transaction in which the Series C Preferred Units remain Outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged in any respect adverse to the Series C Preferred Unitholders shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the powers, preferences, duties, or special rights of the Series C Preferred Units.

(C) Without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Series C Preferred Units, voting as a class together with holders of any other Series C Preferred Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the Partnership shall not (1) create or issue any Series C Preferred Parity Securities (including any additional Series C Preferred Units) if the cumulative distributions payable on Outstanding Series C Preferred Units (or any Series C Preferred Parity Securities) are in Arrears, (2) create or issue any Series C Preferred Senior Securities, or (3) declare or pay any distribution to holders of Common Units from Available Cash from Capital Surplus.

64

(D) For any matter described in this Section 5.16(b)(iii) in which the Series C Preferred Unitholders are entitled to vote as a class (whether separately or together with the holders of any Series C Preferred Parity Securities), such Series C Preferred Unitholders shall be entitled to one vote per Series C Preferred Unit. Any Series C Preferred Units held by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or their controlled Affiliates shall not be entitled to vote.

(E) Notwithstanding Section 5.16(b)(iii)(B) and Section 5.16(b)(iii)(C), no vote of the Series C Preferred Unitholders shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such action is to take effect, provision is made for the redemption of all Series C Preferred Units at the time Outstanding.

(iv) Optional Redemption; Series C Preferred Ratings Event

(A) The Partnership shall have the right (1) at any time, and from time to time, on or after October 15, 2023, (2) at any time within 120 days after the conclusion of any review or appeal process instituted by the Partnership following the occurrence of a Series C Preferred Ratings Event, or (3) at any time within 120 days after the first date on which a Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, in each case, to redeem the Series C Preferred Units, which redemption may be in whole or in part (except with respect to a redemption pursuant to clause (2) of this Section 5.16(b)(iv)(A) which shall be in whole but not in part), using any source of funds legally available for such purpose. Any such redemption shall occur on a date set by the General Partner (the “Series C Preferred Redemption Date”). The Partnership shall effect any such redemption by paying cash for each Series C Preferred Unit to be redeemed equal to 100% (in the case of a redemption described in clause (1) or (3) of this Section 5.16(b)(iv)(A)), or 102% (in the case of a redemption described in clause (2) of this Section 5.16(b)(iv)(A)), of the Series C Preferred Liquidation Preference for such Series C Preferred Unit on such Series C Preferred Redemption Date plus an amount equal to all unpaid Series C Preferred Distributions thereon from the Series C Preferred Original Issue Date to, but not including, the Series C Preferred Redemption Date (whether or not such distributions shall have been declared) (the “Series C Preferred Redemption Price”). So long as the Series C Preferred Units to be redeemed are held of record by the nominee of the Depositary, the Series C Preferred Redemption Price shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Depositary on the Series C Preferred Redemption Date.

(B) The Partnership shall give notice of any redemption by mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the scheduled Series C Preferred Redemption Date to the Series C Preferred Unitholders (as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) of any Series C Preferred Units to be redeemed as such Series C Preferred Unitholders’ names appear on the books of the Transfer Agent and at the address of such Series C Preferred Unitholders shown therein. Such notice (the “Series C PreferredRedemption Notice”) shall state, as applicable: (1) the Series C Preferred Redemption Date, (2) the number of Series C Preferred Units to be redeemed and, if less than all Outstanding Series C Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the number (and in the case of Series C Preferred Units in certificated form, the identification) of Series C Preferred Units to be redeemed from such Series C Preferred Unitholder, (3) the Series C Preferred Redemption Price, (4) the place where any Series C Preferred Units in certificated form are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Series C Preferred Redemption Price therefor (which shall occur automatically if the Certificate representing such Series C Preferred Units is issued in the name of the Depositary or its nominee), and (5) that distributions on the Series C Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease to accumulate from and after such Series C Preferred Redemption Date.

65

(C) If the Partnership elects to redeem less than all of the Outstanding Series C Preferred Units, the number of Series C Preferred Units to be redeemed shall be determined by the General Partner, and such Series C Preferred Units shall be redeemed by such method of selection as the Depositary shall determine, either Pro Rata or by lot, with adjustments to avoid redemption of fractional Series C Preferred Units. The aggregate Series C Preferred Redemption Price for any such partial redemption of the Outstanding Series C Preferred Units shall be allocated correspondingly among the redeemed Series C Preferred Units. The Series C Preferred Units not redeemed shall remain Outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided in this Section 5.16.

(D) If the Partnership gives or causes to be given a Series C Preferred Redemption Notice, the Partnership shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the Series C Preferred Units as to which such Series C Preferred Redemption Notice shall have been given, no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Series C Preferred Redemption Date, and shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Series C Preferred Redemption Price to the Series C Preferred Unitholder whose Series C Preferred Units are to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender (which shall occur automatically if the Certificate representing such Series C Preferred Units is issued in the name of the Depositary or its nominee) of the Certificates therefor as set forth in the Series C Preferred Redemption Notice. If the Series C Preferred Redemption Notice shall have been given, from and after the Series C Preferred Redemption Date, unless the Partnership defaults in providing funds sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the Series C Preferred Redemption Notice, all Series C Preferred Distributions on such Series C Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease to accumulate and all rights of holders of such Series C Preferred Units as Limited Partners with respect to such Series C Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease, except the right to receive the Series C Preferred Redemption Price, and such Series C Preferred Units shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Transfer Agent or be deemed to be Outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. The Series C Preferred Unitholders shall have no claim to the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited with the Paying Agent. Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Partnership for any reason, including redemption of Series C Preferred Units, that remain unclaimed or unpaid after two years after the applicable Series C Preferred Redemption Date or other payment date, as applicable, shall be, to the extent permitted by law, repaid to the Partnership upon its written request, after which repayment the Series C Preferred Unitholders entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to the Partnership. Notwithstanding any Series C Preferred Redemption Notice, there shall be no redemption of any Series C Preferred Units called for redemption until funds sufficient to pay the full Series C Preferred Redemption Price of such Series C Preferred Units shall have been deposited by the Partnership with the Paying Agent.

(E) Any Series C Preferred Units that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Partnership shall be cancelled. If only a portion of the Series C Preferred Units represented by a Certificate shall have been called for redemption, upon surrender of the Certificate to the Paying Agent (which shall occur automatically if the Certificate representing such Series C Preferred Units is registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee), the Partnership shall issue and the Paying Agent shall deliver to the Series C Preferred Unitholders a new Certificate (or adjust the applicable book-entry account) representing the number of Series C Preferred Units represented by the surrendered Certificate that have not been called for redemption.

66

(F) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.16, in the event that full cumulative distributions on the Series C Preferred Units and any Series C Preferred Parity Securities shall not have been paid or declared and set aside for payment, the Partnership shall not be permitted to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, in whole or in part, any Series C Preferred Units or Series C Preferred Parity Securities except pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same relative terms to all Series C Preferred Unitholders and holders of any Series C Preferred Parity Securities. Subject to Section 4.10, so long as any Series C Preferred Units are Outstanding, the Partnership shall not be permitted to redeem, repurchase, or otherwise acquire any Common Units or any other Series C Preferred Junior Securities unless full cumulative distributions on the Series C Preferred Units and any Series C Preferred Parity Securities for all prior and the then-ending Series C Preferred Distribution Periods, with respect to the Series C Preferred Units, and all prior and then ending distribution periods, with respect to any such Series C Preferred Parity Securities, shall have been paid or declared and set aside for payment.

(v) Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, and winding up of the Partnership under Section 12.4 or a sale, exchange, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, either voluntary or involuntary, the Record Holders of the Series C Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Partnership available for distribution to the Partners or any Assignees, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Partnership to the Record Holders of any other class or series of Partnership Interests other than the Series C Preferred Units, the Series C Preferred Senior Securities, and the Series C Preferred Parity Securities, (A) first, any accumulated and unpaid distributions on the Series C Preferred Units (regardless of whether previously declared) and (B) then, any positive value in each such holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series C Preferred Units. If in the year of such liquidation and winding up, or sale, exchange, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, any such Record Holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series C Preferred Units is less than the aggregate Series C Preferred Base Liquidation Preference of such Series C Preferred Units, then, after the allocations specified in Section 6.1(c)(i)(A) have been made, but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and prior to any other allocation pursuant to this Agreement for such year and any distribution pursuant to the preceding sentence, items of gross income and gain shall be allocated to all Unitholders then holding Series C Preferred Units and Unitholders then holding any Series C Preferred Parity Securities, Pro Rata, until the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series C Preferred Unit is equal to the Series C Preferred Base Liquidation Preference and the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series C Preferred Parity Security is equal to the liquidation preference of such Series C Preferred Parity Security (and no other allocation pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation). If in the year of such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up any such Record Holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series C Preferred Units is less than the aggregate Series C Preferred Base Liquidation Preference of such Series C Preferred Units after the application of the preceding sentence, then to the extent permitted by applicable law and after making any allocations required under Section 6.1(c)(i)(A), but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, items of gross income and gain for any preceding taxable period(s) with respect to which IRS Form 1065 SchedulesK-1 have not been filed by the Partnership shall be reallocated to all Unitholders then holding Series C Preferred Units and Unitholders then holding any Series C Preferred Parity Securities, Pro Rata, until after making allocations pursuant to this and the immediately preceding sentence the Capital Account in respect of each such Outstanding Series C Preferred Unit is equal to the Series C Preferred Base Liquidation Preference and the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series C Preferred Parity Security is equal to the liquidation preference of such Series C Preferred Parity Security (and no other allocation pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation). After such allocations have been made to the

67

Outstanding Series C Preferred Units and any Outstanding Series C Preferred Parity Securities, any remaining Net Termination Gain or Net Termination Loss shall be allocated to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1(c). At the time of the dissolution of the Partnership, subject toSection 17-804 of the Delaware Act, the Record Holders of the Series C Preferred Units shall become entitled to receive any distributions in respect of the Series C Preferred Units that are accrued and unpaid as of the date of such distribution, and shall have the status of, and shall be entitled to all remedies available to, a creditor of the Partnership, and such entitlement of the Record Holders of the Series C Preferred Units to such accrued and unpaid distributions shall have priority over any entitlement of any other Partners or Assignees with respect to any distributions by the Partnership to such other Partners or Assignees except for distributions in respect of Series C Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.16(b)(ii);provided, however, that the General Partner, as such, will have no liability for any obligations with respect to such distributions to any Record Holder(s) of Series C Preferred Units.

(vi) Rank. The Series C Preferred Units shall each be deemed to rank, as to distributions and amounts payable upon a dissolution or liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Article XII:

(A) senior to any Series C Preferred Junior Securities;

(B) on parity with any Series C Preferred Parity Securities;

(C) junior to any Series C Preferred Senior Securities; and

(D) junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Partnership and other liabilities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against the Partnership.

(vii) No Sinking Fund. The Series C Preferred Units shall not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

(viii) Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner, the Partnership, the Transfer Agent, and the Paying Agent may deem and treat any Series C Preferred Unitholder as the true, lawful, and absolute owner of the applicable Series C Preferred Units for all purposes, and neither the General Partner, the Partnership, nor the Transfer Agent or the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary, except as otherwise provided by law or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline, or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Series C Preferred Units may be listed or admitted to trading, if any.

(ix) Notices. All notices or communications in respect of the Series C Preferred Units shall be sufficiently given if given in writing and delivered in person or by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if given in such other manner as may be permitted in this Section 5.16, this Agreement or by applicable law.

(x) Other Rights; Fiduciary Duties. The Series C Preferred Units and the Series C Preferred Unitholders shall not have any designations, preferences, rights, powers, or duties, other than as set forth in this Agreement or as provided by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty existing at law, in equity or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall owe any duties, including fiduciary duties, or have any liabilities to Series C Preferred Unitholders, other than the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

68

(xi) Change of Control

(A) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event that occurs after the Series C Preferred Original Issue Date, each Series C Preferred Unitholder shall have the right (“Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right”) to convert some or all of the Series C Preferred Units held by such Series C Preferred Unitholder on the Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of Common Units per Series C Preferred Unit that is an amount equal to the Series C Preferred Conversion Ratio (such number of Common Units, the “Series C Preferred Common Unit Conversion Consideration”), unless the Partnership provides notice of its election to redeem Series C Preferred Units prior to the expiration of the Partnership’s redemption right contained in Section 5.16(b)(iv)(A)(3). The “Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date” shall be the date fixed by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, as the date the Series C Preferred Units are entitled to be converted to Series C Preferred Conversion Common Units as provided in this Section 5.16(b)(xi). Such Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date shall be a Business Day that is no fewer than 20 days nor more than 35 days from the date on which the Partnership provides the notice to Series C Preferred Unitholders of the Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right under Section 5.16(b)(xi)(B).

(B) No later than five days following the expiration of the Partnership’s redemption right contained in Section 5.16(b)(iv)(A)(3) or, if earlier waived, the date of the Partnership’s waiver of such right, the Partnership will provide written notice to the Series C Preferred Unitholders that describes the Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right and states: (1) the events constituting the Change of Control Triggering Event; (2) the date of the Change of Control Triggering Event; (3) the date on which the Partnership’s right to redeem the Outstanding Series C Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.16(b)(iv)(A)(3) expired or was waived; (4) the Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date; (5) the last date on which the Series C Preferred Unitholders may exercise their Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right; (6) the method and period for calculating the Common Unit Price with respect to the Series C Preferred Units; (7) if applicable, the type and amount of Series C Preferred Alternative Conversion Consideration entitled to be received per Series C Preferred Unit; and (8) the procedures that the Series C Preferred Unitholders must follow to exercise the Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right.

(C) Subject to Section 5.9, the “Series C Preferred Conversion Ratio” shall be calculated as the lesser of: (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the Series C Preferred Liquidation Preference as of the Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date is after a Series C Preferred Distribution Record Date and prior to the corresponding Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date, in which case any accumulated and unpaid distribution will be excluded from this amount) by (2) the Common Unit Price and (ii) 1.2225 (the “Series C Preferred Unit Cap”). The General Partner shall make such adjustments to the Common Unit Price with respect to the Series C Preferred Units and the Series C Preferred Unit Cap as it determines to be equitable in view of any splits, combinations, or distributions in the form of equity issuances or the payment of any Series C Preferred Alternative Conversion Consideration to the holders of the Common Units in connection with the Change of Control.

69

(D) In the case of a Change of Control pursuant to which Common Units will be converted into cash, securities, or other property or assets (including any combination thereof) (“Series C Preferred Alternative Conversion Consideration”), each Series C Preferred Unitholder electing to exercise its Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right will receive upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Units elected by such holder the kind and amount of such Series C Preferred Alternative Conversion Consideration on a per Series C Preferred Unit basis that such Series C Preferred Unitholder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the Change of Control had such Series C Preferred Unitholder held a number of Common Units equal to the Series C Preferred Common Unit Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control; provided, that, if the holders of Common Units have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such Change of Control, the consideration that the Series C Preferred Unitholders electing to exercise their Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right will receive will be the form and proportion of the aggregate consideration elected by the holders of Common Units who participate in the determination (based on the weighted average of elections) and will be subject to any limitations to which all holders of Common Units are subject, including, without limitation, pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in the Change of Control. No fractional Common Units will be issued upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Units. Instead, the Partnership shall pay the cash value of such fractional Common Units.

(E) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Partnership provides notice of its election to redeem Series C Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.16(b)(iv), Series C Preferred Unitholders shall not have any right to convert the Series C Preferred Units that the Partnership has elected to redeem, and any Series C Preferred Units subsequently selected for redemption that have been tendered for conversion shall be redeemed on the Series C Preferred Redemption Date instead of converted on the Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date.

(F) The Partnership shall issue a press release for publication through a news or press organization as is reasonably expected to broadly disseminate the relevant information to the public, or post notice on the website of the Partnership, in any event prior to the opening of business on the first Business Day following any date on which the Partnership (or a third party with its prior written consent) provides the notice described in Section 5.16(b)(xi)(B) to the Series C Preferred Unitholders.

(G) Each Series C Preferred Unitholder electing to exercise its Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right will be required, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date, to notify the Partnership of the number of Series C Preferred Units to be converted pursuant to the Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Right and otherwise to comply with any applicable procedures contained in the notice described in Section 5.16(b)(xi)(B) or otherwise required by the Depositary for effecting the conversion.

(H) Upon conversion, the rights of such participating Series C Preferred Unitholder as a holder of the Series C Preferred Units shall cease with respect to such converted Series C Preferred Units, and such Person shall continue to be a Partner and have the rights of a holder of Common Units under this Agreement. Each Series C Preferred Unit shall, upon its Series C Preferred Change of Control Conversion Date, be deemed to be transferred to, and cancelled by, the Partnership in exchange for the issuance of the Series C Preferred Conversion Common Units.

70

(I) The Partnership shall pay any documentary, stamp, or similar issue or transfer taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of Series C Preferred Conversion Common Units. However, the participating Series C Preferred Unitholder shall pay any tax or duty that may be payable relating to any transfer involving the issuance or delivery of Series C Preferred Conversion Common Units.

ARTICLE VI

ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 6.1Allocations for Capital Account Purposes.

For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the Partners among themselves, the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction (computed in accordance with Section 5.5(b)) shall be allocated among the Partners in each taxable year (or portion thereof) as provided herein below.

(a)Net Income. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.1(d), Net Income for each taxable year and all items of income, gain, loss, and deduction taken into account in computing Net Income for such taxable year shall be allocated as follows:

(i) First, 100% to the General Partner as necessary to eliminate any deficit balance in the General Partner’s Capital Account;

(ii) Second, 100% to the Series A Preferred Unitholders, the Series B Preferred Unitholders, and the Series C Preferred Unitholders, in proportion to, and in an amount equal to the aggregate Net Losses allocated to the Series A Preferred Unitholders, the Series B Preferred Unitholders, and the Series C Preferred Unitholders pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(ii) for all previous taxable periods, until the aggregate amount of Net Income allocated to such Series A Preferred Unitholders, Series B Preferred Unitholders and Series C Preferred Unitholders pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(ii) for the current and all previous taxable periods is equal to the aggregate amount of Net Loss allocated to such Series A Preferred Unitholders, Series B Preferred Unitholders, and Series C Preferred Unitholders pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(ii) for all previous taxable periods;provided that in no event shall Net Income be allocated to any such Series A Preferred Unitholder to cause its Capital Account in respect of a Series A Preferred Unit to exceed the Series A Preferred Base Liquidation Preference in respect of such Series A Preferred Units, be allocated to any such Series B Preferred Unitholder to cause its Capital Account in respect of a Series B Preferred Unit to exceed the Series B Preferred Base Liquidation Preference in respect of such Series B Preferred Units, or be allocated to any such Series C Preferred Unitholder to cause its Capital Account in respect of a Series C Preferred Unit to exceed the Series C Preferred Base Liquidation Preference in respect of such Series C Preferred Units; and

(iii) Thereafter, 100% to the Unitholders holding Common Units, in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

71

(b)Net Losses. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.1(d), Net Losses for each taxable period and all items of income, gain, loss, and deduction taken into account in computing Net Losses for such taxable period shall be allocated as follows:

(i) First, 100% to the Unitholders holding Common Units, in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests; provided that Net Losses shall not be allocated pursuant to this Section 6.1(b)(i) to the extent that such allocation would cause any Unitholder to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of such taxable year (or increase any existing deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account);

(ii) Second, 100% to the Series A Preferred Unitholders, the Series B Preferred Unitholders, and the Series C Preferred Unitholders, in proportion to their respective positive Adjusted Capital Account balances, until the Adjusted Capital Account in respect of each Series A Preferred Unit, each Series B Preferred Unit, and each Series C Preferred Unit then Outstanding has been reduced to zero; and

(iii) Thereafter, the balance, if any, 100% to the General Partner.

(c)Net Termination Gains and Losses. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.1(d), all items of income, gain, loss, and deduction taken into account in computing Net Termination Gain or Net Termination Loss for such taxable period shall be allocated in the same manner as such Net Termination Gain or Net Termination Loss is allocated hereunder. All allocations under this Section 6.1(c) shall be made after Capital Account balances have been adjusted by all other allocations provided under this Section 6.1;provided,however, that solely for purposes of this Section 6.1(c), Capital Accounts shall not be adjusted for distributions made pursuant to Section 12.4.

(i) If a Net Termination Gain is recognized (or deemed recognized pursuant to Section 5.5(d)), such Net Termination Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in the following manner (and the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be increased by the amount so allocated in each of the following subclauses, in the order listed, before an allocation is made pursuant to the next succeeding subclause):

(A) First, to each Partner having a deficit balance in its Capital Account, in the proportion that such deficit balance bears to the total deficit balances in the Capital Accounts of all Partners, until each such Partner has been allocated Net Termination Gain equal to any such deficit balance in its Capital Account;

(B) Second, to all Series A Preferred Unitholders, Pro Rata, Series B Preferred Unitholders, Pro Rata, and Series C Preferred Unitholders, Pro Rata, until the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit, each Outstanding Series B Preferred Unit, and each Outstanding Series C Preferred Unit equals the Series A Preferred Base Liquidation Preference, the Series B Preferred Base Liquidation Preference, or the Series C Preferred Base Liquidation Preference, as applicable (with the amounts allocated between Series A Preferred Unitholders as a group, Series B Preferred Unitholders as a group, and Series C Preferred Unitholders as a group, being in proportion to their relative Adjusted Capital Accounts prior to such allocation);

(C) Third, among the Unitholders holding Common Units in a manner that, to the nearest extent possible, results in equal Capital Account balances maintained with respect to each Common Unit; and

72

(D) Thereafter, to the Unitholders holding Common Units, in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(ii) If a Net Termination Loss is recognized (or deemed recognized pursuant to Section 5.5(d)), such Net Termination Loss shall be allocated among the Partners in the following manner:

(A) First, among the Unitholders holding Common Units in a manner that, to the nearest extent possible, results in equal Capital Account balances maintained with respect to each Common Unit;

(B) Second, to the Unitholders holding Common Units, in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, until the Capital Account in respect of each Unit then Outstanding has been reduced to zero;

(C) Third, to all Series A Preferred Unitholders, Series B Preferred Unitholders, and Series C Preferred Unitholders, in proportion to their Adjusted Capital Account balances, until the Adjusted Capital Account in respect of each Series A Preferred Unit, each Series B Preferred Unit, and each Series C Preferred Unit then Outstanding has been reduced to zero; and

(D) Thereafter, the balance, if any, 100% to the General Partner.

(d)Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, the following special allocations shall be made for such taxable period:

(i)Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, each Partner shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections1.704-2(f)(6),1.704-2(g)(2) and1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provision. For purposes of this Section 6.1(d), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d) with respect to such taxable period (other than an allocation pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(vi) and Section 6.1(d)(vii)). This Section 6.1(d)(i) is intended to comply with the Partnership Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii)Chargeback of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.1 (other than Section 6.1(d)(i)), except as provided in Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, any Partner with a share of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such taxable period shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections1.704-2(i)(4) and1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or any successor provisions. For purposes of this Section 6.1(d), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d), other than Section 6.1(d)(i) and other than an allocation pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(vi) and Section 6.1(d)(vii), with respect to such taxable period. This Section 6.1(d)(ii) is intended to comply with the chargeback of items of income and gain requirement in Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

73

(iii)Priority Allocations.If the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of any property distributed (except cash or property distributed pursuant to Section 12.4) to any Unitholder with respect to its Units (other than to the Series A Preferred Unitholders, the Series B Preferred Unitholders, and the Series C Preferred Unitholders with respect to the Series A Preferred Units, the Series B Preferred Units, and the Series C Preferred Units, respectively) for a taxable year is greater (on a per Unit basis) than the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of property distributed to the other Unitholders (other than the Series A Preferred Unitholders, the Series B Preferred Unitholders, and the Series C Preferred Unitholders) with respect to their Units (on a per Unit basis), then there shall be allocated income and gain to each Unitholder receiving such greater cash or property distribution until the aggregate amount of such items allocated pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(iii) for the current taxable year and all previous taxable years is equal to the product of (aa) the amount by which the distribution (on a per Unit basis) to such Unitholder exceeds the distribution (on a per Unit basis) to the Unitholders (other than to the Unitholders holding Series A Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units, or Series C Preferred Units) receiving the smallest distribution and (bb) the number of Units owned by the Unitholder receiving the greater distribution.

(iv)Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations, or distributions as quickly as possible unless such deficit balance is otherwise eliminated pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(i) or Section 6.1(d)(ii).

(v)Gross Income Allocations. In the event any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Partnership taxable period in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Partner is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (B) the amount such Partner is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections1.704-2(g) and1.704-2(i)(5), such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible;provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(v) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in this Section 6.1 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.1(d)(v) were not in this Agreement.

(vi)Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If the General Partner determines that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions should be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is authorized, upon notice to the other Partners, to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio that does satisfy such requirements.

74

(vii)Nonrecourse Liabilities.For purposes of Treasury RegulationSection 1.752-3(a)(3), the Partners agree that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the sum of (A) the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain and (B) the total amount of NonrecourseBuilt-in Gain shall be allocated (x) first, to those Partners that contributed property to the Partnership (or a predecessor of which contributed property to the Partnership) in proportion to and to the extent of the amount by which each such Partner’s share of any Section 704(c)built-in gains (including, for the avoidance of doubt, reverse Section 704(c) gains) exceeds such Partner’s share of NonrecourseBuilt-in Gain (provided, that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership shall be allocated under this clause (x) to any particular Partner only to the extent necessary to ensure that such Partner is allocated sufficient Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership to avoid such Partner’s recognizing gain under Section 731(a)), and (y) second, among the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

(viii)Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

(ix)Equalization of Capital Accounts. Except to the extent it would reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the holders of the Series A Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units or Series C Preferred Units, items of Unrealized Gain and Unrealized Loss arising in connection with any Revaluation Event (including the Revaluation Event occurring upon the issuance of Restructuring Common Units) shall be allocated among the Unitholders holding Common Units in a manner that, to the nearest extent possible, results in equal Capital Account balances maintained with respect to each Common Unit.

(x)Curative Allocation.

(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, other than the Required Allocations, the Required Allocations shall be taken into account in making the Agreed Allocations so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of items of income, gain, loss, and deduction allocated to each Partner pursuant to the Required Allocations and the Agreed Allocations, together, shall be equal to the net amount of such items that would have been allocated to each such Partner under the Agreed Allocations had the Required Allocations and the related Curative Allocation not otherwise been provided in this Section 6.1. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Required Allocations relating to (1) Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain and (2) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(x)(A) shall only be made with respect to Required Allocations to the extent the General Partner determines that such allocations will otherwise be inconsistent with the economic agreement among the Partners. Further, allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(x)(A) shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) hereof to the extent the General Partner determines that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent Required Allocations.

(B) The General Partner shall, with respect to each taxable period, (1) apply the provisions of Section 6.1(d)(x)(A) in whatever order is most likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Required Allocations and (2) divide all allocations pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(x)(A) among the Partners in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions.

(xii) [Reserved.]

(xiii)Series A Preferred Issuance Premium Allocation. In the event that a Series A Preferred Unit is issued for an amount in excess of the Series A Preferred Liquidation Preference for such Unit, the excess shall be considered income of the Partnership and shall be allocated to the Partners (other than Series A Preferred Unitholders, Series B Preferred Unitholders, and Series C Preferred Unitholders) in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(xiv)Series B Preferred Issuance Premium Allocation. In the event that a Series B Preferred Unit is issued for an amount in excess of the Series B Preferred Liquidation Preference for such Unit, the excess shall be considered income of the Partnership and shall be allocated to the Partners (other than Series A Preferred Unitholders, Series B Preferred Unitholders, and Series C Preferred Unitholders) in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(xv)Series C Preferred Issuance Premium Allocation. In the event that a Series C Preferred Unit is issued for an amount in excess of the Series C Preferred Liquidation Preference for such Unit, the excess shall be considered income of the Partnership and shall be allocated to the Partners (other than Series A Preferred Unitholders, Series B Preferred Unitholders, and Series C Preferred Unitholders) in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

Section 6.2Allocations for Tax Purposes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss, or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1.

(b) In an attempt to eliminateBook-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery deductions shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners as follows:

(i) (A) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Partners in the manner provided under Section 704(c) of the Code that takes into account the variation between the Agreed Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to a Contributed Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1.

(ii) (A) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall (1) first, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 5.5(d)(i) or Section 5.5(d)(ii) and (2) second, in the event such property was originally a Contributed Property, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with Section 6.2(b)(i)(A) and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1.

76

(iii) The General Partner shall apply the principles of Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-3(d) to eliminateBook-Tax Disparities, except with respect to goodwill contributed to the Partnership upon formation.

(c) For the proper administration of the Partnership and for the preservation of uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof), the General Partner shall (i) adopt such conventions as it deems appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions; (ii) make special allocations for federal income tax purposes of income (including gross income) or deductions; and (iii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (x) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) or Section 704(c) of the Code or (y) otherwise to preserve or achieve uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof). The General Partner may adopt such conventions, make such allocations, and make such amendments to this Agreement as provided in this Section 6.2(c) only if such conventions, allocations, or amendments would not have a material adverse effect on the Partners, the holders of any class or classes of Limited Partner Interests issued and Outstanding or the Partnership, and if such allocations are consistent with the principles of Section 704 of the Code.

(d) The General Partner may determine to depreciate or amortize the portion of an adjustment under Section 743(b) of the Code attributable to unrealized appreciation in any Adjusted Property (to the extent of the unamortizedBook-Tax Disparity) using a predetermined rate derived from the depreciation or amortization method and useful life applied to the Partnership’s common basis of such property, despite any inconsistency of such approach with Treasury RegulationSection 1.167(c)-l(a)(6) or any successor regulations thereto. If the General Partner determines that such reporting position cannot reasonably be taken, the General Partner may adopt depreciation and amortization conventions under which all purchasers acquiring Limited Partner Interests in the same month would receive depreciation and amortization deductions, based upon the same applicable rate as if they had purchased a direct interest in the Partnership’s property. If the General Partner chooses not to utilize such aggregate method, the General Partner may use any other depreciation and amortization conventions to preserve the uniformity of the intrinsic tax characteristics of any Limited Partner Interests, so long as such conventions would not have a material adverse effect on the Limited Partners or the Record Holders of any class or classes of Limited Partner Interests.

(e) In accordance with Treasury RegulationSection 1.1245-1(e), any gain allocated to the Partners upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset shall, to the extent possible, after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to this Section 6.2, be characterized as Recapture Income in the same proportions and to the same extent as such Partners (or their predecessors in interest) have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income.

(f) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit recognized by the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Partners in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code that may be made by the Partnership;provided,however, that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted (in the manner determined by the General Partner) to take into account those adjustments permitted or required by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code.

77

(g) Each item of Partnership income, gain, loss, and deduction, for federal income tax purposes, shall be determined on an annual basis and prorated on a monthly basis and shall be allocated to the Partners as of the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on the first Business Day of each month;provided,however, that gain or loss on a sale or other disposition of any assets of the Partnership or any other extraordinary item of income or loss realized and recognized other than in the ordinary course of business, as determined by the General Partner, shall be allocated to the Partners as of the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on the first Business Day of the month in which such gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes. The General Partner may revise, alter, or otherwise modify such methods of allocation to the extent permitted or required by Section 706 of the Code and the regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder.

(h) Allocations that would otherwise be made to a Limited Partner under the provisions of this Article VI shall instead be made to the beneficial owner of Limited Partner Interests held by a nominee in any case in which the nominee has furnished the identity of such owner to the Partnership in accordance with Section 6031(c) of the Code or any other method determined by the General Partner.

(i) If, as a result of an exercise of a Noncompensatory Option, a Capital Account reallocation is required under Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), the General Partner shall make corrective allocations pursuant to Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(4)(x).

(j) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Partnership shall accrue and report the income and deduction from the guaranteed payment for the use of capital attributable to each Series A Preferred Distribution for such Series A Preferred Distribution without regard to whether the Series A Preferred Distribution is paid on, for the period from the first day of such tax year to, but not including, the next Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date, such next Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date and, for the remainder of the year, from the Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date to, but not including, the next Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date, such next Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date;provided, however, that the portion of such income and deduction for the period beginning on the last Series A Preferred Distribution Payment Date of any tax year and continuing through the final day of such tax year shall be accrued and reported on the final day of such tax year.

(k) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Partnership shall accrue and report the income and deduction from the guaranteed payment for the use of capital attributable to each Series B Preferred Distribution on the Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date for such Series B Preferred Distribution without regard to whether the Series B Preferred Distribution is paid on, for the period from the first day of such tax year to, but not including, the next Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date, such next Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date and, for the remainder of the year, from the Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date to, but not including, the next Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date, such next Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date;provided, however, that the portion of such income and deduction for the period beginning on the last Series B Preferred Distribution Payment Date of any tax year and continuing through the final day of such tax year shall be accrued and reported on the final day of such tax year.

78

(l) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Partnership shall accrue and report the income and deduction from the guaranteed payment for the use of capital attributable to each Series C Preferred Distribution on the Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date for such Series C Preferred Distribution without regard to whether the Series C Preferred Distribution is paid on, for the period from the first day of such tax year to, but not including, the next Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date, such next Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date and, for the remainder of the year, from the Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date to, but not including, the next Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date, such next Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date;provided, however, that the portion of such income and deduction for the period beginning on the last Series C Preferred Distribution Payment Date of any tax year and continuing through the final day of such tax year shall be accrued and reported on the final day of such tax year.

Section 6.3Requirement and Characterization of Distributions; Distributions to Record Holders.

(a) Except as otherwise required by Section 5.14(b)(ii), Section 5.15(b)(ii) or Section 5.16(b)(ii), within 45 days following the end of each Quarter, an amount equal to 100% of Available Cash with respect to such Quarter shall, subject toSection 17-607 of the Delaware Act, be distributed in accordance with this Article VI by the Partnership to the holders of Common Units, Pro Rata, as of the Record Date selected by the General Partner. All amounts of Available Cash distributed by the Partnership on any date from any source shall be deemed to be Operating Surplus until the sum of all amounts of Available Cash theretofore distributed by the Partnership to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.4 equals the Operating Surplus from the Closing Date through the close of the immediately preceding Quarter. Any remaining amounts of Available Cash distributed by the Partnership on such date shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.5, be deemed to be “Capital Surplus.” All distributions required to be made under this Agreement shall be made subject toSection 17-607 of the Delaware Act. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the General Partner Interest, the Series A Preferred Units, the Series B Preferred Units, or the Series C Preferred Units shall be entitled to distributions made pursuant to this Section 6.3(a).

(c) The General Partner may treat taxes paid by the Partnership on behalf of, or amounts withheld with respect to, all or less than all of the Partners, as a distribution of Available Cash to such Partners.

(d) Each distribution in respect of a Partnership Interest shall be paid by the Partnership, directly or through the Transfer Agent or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Partnership Interest as of the Record Date set for such distribution. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Partnership’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise.

The General Partner has caused the Certificate of Limited Partnership to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as required by the Delaware Act. The General Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents that the General Partner determines to be necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification, and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the State of Delaware or any other state in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. To the extent the General Partner determines such action to be necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate of Limited Partnership and do all things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership or other entity in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Delaware or of any other state in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 3.4(a), the General Partner shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate of Limited Partnership, any qualification document, or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner.

Section 7.3 Restrictions on the General Partner’s Authority.

Except as provided in Article XII and Article XIV, the General Partner may not sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership Group, taken as a whole, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions (including by way of merger, consolidation, other combination, or sale of ownership interests of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries) without the approval of holders of a Unit Majority;provided,however, that this provision shall not preclude or limit the General Partner’s ability to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, or grant a security interest in all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership Group and shall not apply to any forced sale of any or all of the assets of the

82

Partnership Group pursuant to the foreclosure of, or other realization upon, any such encumbrance. Without the approval of holders of a Unit Majority, the General Partner shall not, on behalf of the Partnership, except as permitted under Section 4.6, Section 11.1 and Section 11.2, elect or cause the Partnership to elect a successor general partner of the Partnership.

Section 7.4Reimbursement of the General Partner.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 7.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as a general partner or managing member of any Group Member.

(b) The General Partner shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine, for (i) all direct and indirect expenses it incurs or payments it makes on behalf of the Partnership Group (including salary, bonus, incentive compensation, and other amounts paid to any Person, including Affiliates of the General Partner, to perform services for the Partnership Group or for the General Partner in the discharge of its duties to the Partnership Group) and (ii) all other expenses allocable to the Partnership Group or otherwise incurred by the General Partner in connection with operating the Partnership Group’s business (including expenses allocated to the General Partner by its Affiliates). The General Partner shall determine the expenses that are allocable to the Partnership Group. Reimbursements pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be in addition to any reimbursement to the General Partner as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7.

(c) The General Partner, without the approval of the Limited Partners (who shall have no right to vote in respect thereof), may propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit plans, employee programs, and employee practices (including plans, programs, and practices involving the issuance of Partnership Securities or options to purchase or rights, warrants, or appreciation rights relating to Partnership Securities), or cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Securities in connection with, or pursuant to, any employee benefit plan, employee program, or employee practice maintained or sponsored by the General Partner, Group Member, or any Affiliates in each case for the benefit of employees of the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership Group. The Partnership agrees to issue and sell to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates any Partnership Securities that the General Partner or such Affiliates are obligated to provide to any employees pursuant to any such employee benefit plans, employee programs, or employee practices. Expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with any such plans, programs, and practices (including the net cost to the General Partner or such Affiliates of Partnership Securities purchased by the General Partner or such Affiliates from the Partnership to fulfill options or awards under such plans, programs, and practices) shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 7.4(b). Any and all obligations of the General Partner under any employee benefit plans, employee programs, or employee practices adopted by the General Partner as permitted by this Section 7.4(c) shall constitute obligations of the General Partner hereunder and shall be assumed by any successor General Partner approved pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 or the transferee of or successor to all of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 4.6.

83

Section 7.5Outside Activities.

(a) After the Closing Date, the General Partner, for so long as it is the General Partner of the Partnership (i) agrees that its sole business will be to act as a general partner or managing member, as the case may be, of the Partnership and any other partnership or limited liability company of which the Partnership is, directly or indirectly, a partner or member and to undertake activities that are ancillary or related thereto (including being a limited partner in the Partnership) and (ii) shall not engage in any business or activity or incur any debts or liabilities except in connection with or incidental to (A) its performance as general partner or managing member, if any, of one or more Group Members or as described in or contemplated by the Registration Statement or (B) the acquiring, owning, or disposing of debt or equity securities in any Group Member.

(b) Each Indemnitee (other than the General Partner) shall have the right to engage in businesses of every type and description and other activities for profit and to engage in and possess an interest in other business ventures of any and every type or description, whether in businesses engaged in or anticipated to be engaged in by any Group Member, independently or with others, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the business and activities of any Group Member, and none of the same shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or any duty expressed or implied by law to any Group Member or any Partner or Assignee. None of any Group Member, any Limited Partner, or any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, or the partnership relationship established hereby in any business ventures of any Indemnitee.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the engaging in competitive activities by any Indemnitees (other than the General Partner) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.5 is hereby approved by the Partnership and all Partners, (ii) it shall be deemed not to be a breach of any fiduciary duty or any other obligation of any type whatsoever of any Indemnitee for the Indemnitees (other than the General Partner) to engage in such business interests and activities in preference to or to the exclusion of the Partnership, and (iii) the Indemnitees shall have no obligation hereunder or as a result of any duty expressed or implied by law to present business opportunities to the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to any Indemnitee (including the General Partner). No Indemnitee (including the General Partner) who acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement, or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Partnership, shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Partnership, and such Indemnitee (including the General Partner) shall not be liable to the Partnership, any Limited Partner, or any other Person for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee (including the General Partner) pursues or acquires for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person, or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Partnership.

(d) The General Partner and each of its Affiliates may acquire Units or other Partnership Securities in addition to those acquired on the Closing Date and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be entitled to exercise, at their option, all rights relating to all Units or other Partnership Securities acquired by them. The term “Affiliates” when used in this Section 7.5(d) with respect to the General Partner shall not include any Group Member.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement purports or is interpreted to have the effect of restricting the fiduciary duties that might otherwise, as a result of Delaware or other applicable law, be owed by the General Partner to the Partnership and its Limited Partners, or to constitute a waiver or consent by the Limited Partners to any such restriction, such provisions shall be inapplicable and have no effect in determining whether the General Partner has complied with its fiduciary duties in connection with determinations made by it under this Section 7.5.

84

Section 7.6Loans from the General Partner; Loans or Contributions from the Partnership or Group Members.

(a) The General Partner or any of its Affiliates may lend to any Group Member, and any Group Member may borrow from the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, funds needed or desired by the Group Member for such periods of time and in such amounts as the General Partner may determine;provided,however, that in any such case the lending party may not charge the borrowing party interest at a rate greater than the rate that would be charged the borrowing party or impose terms less favorable to the borrowing party than would be charged or imposed on the borrowing party by unrelated lenders on comparable loans made on anarm’s-length basis (without reference to the lending party’s financial abilities or guarantees), all as determined by the General Partner. The borrowing party shall reimburse the lending party for any costs (other than any additional interest costs) incurred by the lending party in connection with the borrowing of such funds. For purposes of this Section 7.6(a) and Section 7.6(b), the term “Group Member” shall include any Affiliate of a Group Member that is controlled by the Group Member.

(b) The Partnership may lend or contribute to any Group Member, and any Group Member may borrow from the Partnership, funds on terms and conditions determined by the General Partner. No Group Member may lend funds to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates (other than another Group Member).

(c) No borrowing by any Group Member, or the approval thereof by the General Partner, shall be deemed to constitute a breach of any duty, expressed or implied, of the General Partner or its Affiliates to the Partnership or the Limited Partners by reason of the fact that the purpose or effect of such borrowing is directly or indirectly to enable distributions to the General Partner or its Affiliates (including in their capacities as Limited Partners) to exceed the General Partner’s Percentage Interest of the total amount distributed to all partners.

Section 7.7Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law but subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, all Indemnitees shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership 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 its status as an Indemnitee;provided, that the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final andnon-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7, 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 unlawful;provided,further, no indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be available to the General Partner or its Affiliates (other than a Group Member) with respect to its or their obligations incurred pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Omnibus Agreement, or the Contribution Agreement (other than obligations incurred by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership). Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only 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.

85

(b) 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) 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 this Section 7.7.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the holders of Outstanding Limited Partner Interests, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity (including any capacity under the Underwriting Agreement), and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.

(d) The Partnership may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the General Partner or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the General Partner, its Affiliates and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Partnership, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) For purposes of this Section 7.7, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 7.7(a); and action taken or omitted by it with respect to any employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the best interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is in the best interests of the Partnership.

(f) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

(g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(h) The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns, and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

86

(i) No amendment, modification, or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce, or impair the right of any past, present, or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Partnership, nor the obligations of the Partnership to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 7.8Liability of Indemnitees.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership, the Limited Partners, or any other Persons who have acquired interests in the Partnership Securities, for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee unless there has been a final andnon-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.

(b) Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section 7.1(a), the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents, and the General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the General Partner in good faith.

(c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnitee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or to the Partners, the General Partner and any other Indemnitee acting in connection with the Partnership’s business or affairs shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Any amendment, modification, or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the Indemnitees under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 7.9Resolution of Conflicts of Interest; Standards of Conduct and Modification of Duties.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Group Member Agreement, whenever a potential conflict of interest exists or arises between the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Partnership, any Group Member, or any Partner, on the other, any resolution or course of action by the General Partner or its Affiliates in respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Partners, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any Group Member Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein or therein, or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity, if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved by Special Approval, (ii) approved by the vote of a majority of the Common Units (excluding Common Units owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates), (iii) on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties, or (iv) fair and reasonable to the Partnership, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the

87

Partnership). The General Partner shall be authorized but not required in connection with its resolution of such conflict of interest to seek Special Approval of such resolution, and the General Partner may also adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval. If Special Approval is not sought and the Board of Directors determines that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (iii) or (iv) above, then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the Board of Directors acted in good faith, and in any proceeding brought by any Limited Partner or by or on behalf of such Limited Partner or any other Limited Partner or the Partnership challenging such approval, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or equity, the existence of the conflicts of interest described in the Registration Statement are hereby approved by all Partners and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

(b) Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership as opposed to in its individual capacity, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then, unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement, the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall make such determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule, or regulation or at equity. In order for a determination or other action to be in “good faith” for purposes of this Agreement, the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action must believe that the determination or other action is in the best interests of the Partnership.

(c) Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its individual capacity as opposed to in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, are entitled to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any fiduciary duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership, any Limited Partner, and the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall not be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule, or regulation or at equity. By way of illustration and not of limitation, whenever the phrase, “at the option of the General Partner,” or some variation of that phrase, is used in this Agreement, it indicates that the General Partner is acting in its individual capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, whenever the General Partner votes or transfers its Partnership Interests, or refrains from voting or transferring its Partnership Interests, it shall be acting in its individual capacity. The General Partner’s organizational documents may provide that determinations to take or decline to take any action in its individual, rather than representative, capacity may or shall be determined by its members, if the General Partner is a limited liability company, stockholders, if the General Partner is a corporation, or the members or stockholders of the General Partner’s general partner, if the General Partner is a partnership.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall have no duty or obligation, express or implied, to (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any asset of the Partnership Group other than in the ordinary course of business or (ii) permit any Group Member to use any facilities or assets of the General Partner and its Affiliates, except as may be provided in contracts entered into from time to time specifically dealing with such use. Any determination by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates to enter into such contracts shall be at its option.

88

(e) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Partnership or any Limited Partner and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the General Partner or any other Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of the General Partner or such other Indemnitee.

(f) The Unitholders hereby authorize the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership as a partner or member of a Group Member, to approve of actions by the general partner or managing member of such Group Member similar to those actions permitted to be taken by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.9.

Section 7.10Other Matters Concerning the General Partner.

(a) The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(b) The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers, and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion (including an Opinion of Counsel) of such Persons as to matters that the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

(c) The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers, a duly appointed attorney orattorneys-in-fact or the duly authorized officers of the Partnership.

Section 7.11Purchase or Sale of Partnership Securities.

Subject to Section 5.14(b)(iv), Section 5.15(b)(iv), and Section 5.16(b)(iv), the General Partner may cause the Partnership to purchase or otherwise acquire Partnership Securities. Such Partnership Securities shall be held by the Partnership as treasury securities unless they are expressly cancelled by action of an appropriate officer of the General Partner. As long as Partnership Securities are held by any Group Member, such Partnership Securities shall not be considered Outstanding for any purpose, except as otherwise provided herein. The General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner may also purchase or otherwise acquire and sell or otherwise dispose of Partnership Securities for its own account, subject to the provisions of Articles IV and X.

89

Section 7.12Registration Rights of the General Partner and its Affiliates.

(a) If (i) the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner (including for purposes of this Section 7.12, any Person that is an Affiliate of the General Partner at the date hereof notwithstanding that it may later cease to be an Affiliate of the General Partner) holds Partnership Securities that it desires to sell and (ii) Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any successor rule or regulation to Rule 144) or another exemption from registration is not available to enable such holder of Partnership Securities (the “Holder”) to dispose of the number of Partnership Securities it desires to sell at the time it desires to do so without registration under the Securities Act, then at the option and upon the request of the Holder, the Partnership shall file with the Commission as promptly as practicable after receiving such request, and use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective and remain effective for a period of not less than six months following its effective date or such shorter period as shall terminate when all Partnership Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold, a registration statement under the Securities Act registering the offering and sale of the number of Partnership Securities specified by the Holder;provided,however, that the Partnership shall not be required to effect more than three registrations pursuant to Section 7.12(a) and Section 7.12(b); andprovided further, however, that if the Special Committee determines in good faith that the requested registration would be materially detrimental to the Partnership and its Partners because such registration would (x) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Partnership, (y) require premature disclosure of material information that the Partnership has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, or (z) render the Partnership unable to comply with requirements under applicable securities laws, then the Partnership shall have the right to postpone such requested registration for a period of not more than six months after receipt of the Holder’s request, such right pursuant to this Section 7.12(a) or Section 7.12(b) not to be utilized more than once in any twelve-month period. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Partnership shall be deemed not to have used all commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective during the applicable period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Partnership Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Partnership Securities at any time during such period, unless such action is required by applicable law. In connection with any registration pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.12(a), the Partnership shall (i) promptly prepare and file (A) such documents as may be necessary to register or qualify the securities subject to such registration under the securities laws of such states as the Holder shall reasonably request;provided,however, that no such qualification shall be required in any jurisdiction where, as a result thereof, the Partnership would become subject to general service of process or to taxation or qualification to do business as a foreign corporation or partnership doing business in such jurisdiction solely as a result of such registration, and (B) such documents as may be necessary to apply for listing or to list the Partnership Securities subject to such registration on such National Securities Exchange as the Holder shall reasonably request, and (ii) do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Holder to consummate a public sale of such Partnership Securities in such states. Except as set forth in Section 7.12(d), all costs and expenses of any such registration and offering (other than the underwriting discounts and commissions) shall be paid by the Partnership, without reimbursement by the Holder.

(b) If any Holder holds Partnership Securities that it desires to sell and Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any successor rule or regulation to Rule 144) or another exemption from registration is not available to enable such Holder to dispose of the number of Partnership Securities it desires to sell at the time it desires to do so without registration under the Securities Act, then at the option and upon the

90

request of the Holder, the Partnership shall file with the Commission as promptly as practicable after receiving such request, and use all reasonable efforts to cause to become effective and remain effective for a period of not less than six months following its effective date or such shorter period as shall terminate when all Partnership Securities covered by such shelf registration statement have been sold, a “shelf” registration statement covering the Partnership Securities specified by the Holder on an appropriate form under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission;provided,however, that the Partnership shall not be required to effect more than three registrations pursuant to Section 7.12(a) and this Section 7.12(b); andprovided further, however, that if the Special Committee determines in good faith that any offering under, or the use of any prospectus forming a part of, the shelf registration statement would be materially detrimental to the Partnership and its Partners because such offering or use would (x) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Partnership, (y) require premature disclosure of material information that the Partnership has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, or (z) render the Partnership unable to comply with requirements under applicable securities laws, then the Partnership shall have the right to suspend such offering or use for a period of not more than six months after receipt of the Holder’s request, such right pursuant to Section 7.12(a) or this Section 7.12(b) not to be utilized more than once in any twelve-month period. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Partnership shall be deemed not to have used all reasonable efforts to keep the shelf registration statement effective during the applicable period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Partnership Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Partnership Securities at any time during such period, unless such action is required by applicable law. In connection with any shelf registration pursuant to this Section 7.12(b), the Partnership shall (i) promptly prepare and file (A) such documents as may be necessary to register or qualify the securities subject to such shelf registration under the securities laws of such states as the Holder shall reasonably request;provided,however, that no such qualification shall be required in any jurisdiction where, as a result thereof, the Partnership would become subject to general service of process or to taxation or qualification to do business as a foreign corporation or partnership doing business in such jurisdiction solely as a result of such shelf registration, and (B) such documents as may be necessary to apply for listing or to list the Partnership Securities subject to such shelf registration on such National Securities Exchange as the Holder shall reasonably request, and (ii) do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Holder to consummate a public sale of such Partnership Securities in such states. Except as set forth in Section 7.12(d), all costs and expenses of any such shelf registration and offering (other than the underwriting discounts and commissions) shall be paid by the Partnership, without reimbursement by the Holder.

(c) If the Partnership shall at any time propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act for an offering of equity securities of the Partnership for cash (other than an offering relating solely to an employee benefit plan), the Partnership shall use all reasonable efforts to include such number or amount of securities held by the Holder in such registration statement as the Holder shall request;provided, that the Partnership is not required to make any effort or take any action to so include the securities of the Holder once the registration statement is declared effective by the Commission or otherwise becomes effective, including any registration statement providing for the offering from time to time of securities pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act. If the proposed offering pursuant to this Section 7.12(c) shall be an underwritten offering, then, in the event that the managing underwriter or managing underwriters of such offering advise the Partnership and the Holder in writing that in their opinion the inclusion of all or some of the Holder’s Partnership Securities would adversely and materially affect the success of the offering, the Partnership shall include in such offering only that number or

91

amount, if any, of securities held by the Holder that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or managing underwriters, will not so adversely and materially affect the offering.

The General Partner may amend the provisions of this Agreement as determined appropriate in order to minimize the potential U.S. federal, state, or local income tax consequences to current and former Limited Partners, and for the proper administration of the Partnership, upon any amendment to the provisions of Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of Subtitle A of the Code, as enacted by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 or the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015, or the promulgation of regulations or publication of other administrative guidance thereunder.

The Partners hereby agree that only the Events of Withdrawal described in this Section 11.1 shall result in the withdrawal of the General Partner from the Partnership.

(b) Withdrawal of the General Partner from the Partnership upon the occurrence of an Event of Withdrawal shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances: (i) the General Partner voluntarily withdraws by giving at least 90 days’ advance notice to the Unitholders, such withdrawal to take effect on the date specified in such notice; (ii) at any time that the General Partner ceases to be the General Partner pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii) or is removed pursuant to Section 11.2; or (iii) at any time that the General Partner voluntarily withdraws by giving at least 90 days’ advance notice of its intention to withdraw to the Limited Partners, such withdrawal to take effect on the date specified in the notice, if at the time such notice is given one Person and its Affiliates (other than the General Partner and its Affiliates) own beneficially or of record or control at least 50% of the Outstanding Units. The withdrawal of the General Partner from the Partnership upon the occurrence of an Event of Withdrawal shall also constitute the withdrawal of the General Partner as general partner or managing member, if any, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members. If the General Partner gives a notice of withdrawal pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), the holders of a Unit Majority may, prior to the effective date of such withdrawal, elect a successor General Partner. The Person so elected as successor General Partner shall automatically become the successor general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. If, prior to the effective date of the General Partner’s withdrawal, a successor is not selected by the Unitholders as provided herein or the Partnership does not receive a Withdrawal Opinion of Counsel, the Partnership shall be dissolved in accordance with Section 12.1. Any successor General Partner elected in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.1 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.3.

Section 11.2Removal of the General Partner.

The General Partner may be removed if such removal is approved by the Unitholders holding at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Common Units (including Common Units held by the General Partner and its Affiliates). Any such action by such holders for removal of the General Partner must also provide for the election of a successor General Partner by the Unitholders holding a majority of the outstanding Common Units (including Common Units held by the General Partner and its Affiliates). Such removal shall be effective immediately following the admission of a successor General Partner pursuant to Section 10.3. The removal of the General Partner shall also automatically constitute the removal of the General Partner as general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. If a Person is elected as a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2, such Person shall, upon admission pursuant to Section 10.3, automatically become a successor general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. The right of the holders of Outstanding Units to remove the General Partner shall not exist or be exercised unless the Partnership has received an opinion opining as to the matters covered by a Withdrawal Opinion of Counsel. Any successor General Partner elected in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.3.

98

Section 11.3Interest of Departing General Partner and Successor General Partner.

(a) In the event of (i) withdrawal of the General Partner under circumstances where such withdrawal does not violate this Agreement or (ii) removal of the General Partner by the holders of Outstanding Units under circumstances where Cause does not exist, if the successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, the Departing General Partner shall have the option, exercisable prior to the effective date of the departure of such Departing General Partner, to require its successor to purchase its General Partner Interest and its general partner interest (or equivalent interest), if any, in the other Group Members (collectively, the “Combined Interest”) in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such Combined Interest, such amount to be determined and payable as of the effective date of its departure. If the General Partner is removed by the Unitholders under circumstances where Cause exists or if the General Partner withdraws under circumstances where such withdrawal violates this Agreement, and if a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 (or if the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2 and the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner), such successor shall have the option, exercisable prior to the effective date of the departure of such Departing General Partner (or, in the event the business of the Partnership is continued, prior to the date the business of the Partnership is continued), to purchase the Combined Interest for such fair market value of such Combined Interest of the Departing General Partner. In either event, the Departing General Partner shall be entitled to receive all reimbursements due such Departing General Partner pursuant to Section 7.4, including any employee-related liabilities (including severance liabilities), incurred in connection with the termination of any employees employed by the Departing General Partner or its Affiliates (other than any Group Member) for the benefit of the Partnership or the other Group Members.

For purposes of this Section 11.3(a), the fair market value of the Departing General Partner’s Combined Interest shall be determined by agreement between the Departing General Partner and its successor or, failing agreement within 30 days after the effective date of such Departing General Partner’s departure, by an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert selected by the Departing General Partner and its successor, which, in turn, may rely on other experts, and the determination of which shall be conclusive as to such matter. If such parties cannot agree upon one independent investment banking firm or other independent expert within 45 days after the effective date of such departure, then the Departing General Partner shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, the Departing General Partner’s successor shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, and such firms or experts shall mutually select a third independent investment banking firm or independent expert, which third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert shall determine the fair market value of the Combined Interest of the Departing General Partner. In making its determination, such third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert may consider the then current trading price of Units on any National Securities Exchange on which Units are then listed or admitted to trading, the value of the Partnership’s assets, the rights and obligations of the Departing General Partner, and other factors it may deem relevant.

(b) If the Combined Interest is not purchased in the manner set forth in Section 11.3(a), the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) shall become a Limited Partner and its Combined Interest shall be converted into Common Units pursuant to a valuation made by an investment banking firm or other independent expert selected pursuant to Section 11.3(a), without reduction in such Partnership Interest (but subject to proportionate dilution by reason of the admission of its successor). Any successor

99

General Partner shall indemnify the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) as to all debts and liabilities of the Partnership arising on or after the date on which the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) becomes a Limited Partner. For purposes of this Agreement, conversion of the Combined Interest of the Departing General Partner to Common Units will be characterized as if the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) contributed its Combined Interest to the Partnership in exchange for the newly issued Common Units.

(c) [Reserved.]

Section 11.4 [Reserved.]

Section 11.5Withdrawal of Limited Partners.

No Limited Partner shall have any right to withdraw from the Partnership;provided,however, that when a transferee of a Limited Partner’s Limited Partner Interest becomes a Record Holder of the Limited Partner Interest so transferred, such transferring Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interest so transferred.

If such an election is so made, then:

(i) the Partnership shall continue without dissolution unless earlier dissolved in accordance with this Article XII;

Section 12.3Liquidator.

Upon dissolution of the Partnership, unless the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2, the General Partner shall select one or more Persons to act as Liquidator. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall agree not to resign at any time without 15 days’ prior notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal approved by holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units. Upon dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers, and duties of the original Liquidator) shall within 30 days thereafter be approved by holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units. The right to approve a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator approved in the manner herein provided. Except as expressly provided in this Article XII, the Liquidator approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the General Partner under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, other than the limitation on sale set forth in Section 7.3) necessary or appropriate to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during the period of time required to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Partnership as provided for herein.

101

Section 12.4Liquidation.

The Liquidator shall proceed to dispose of the assets of the Partnership, discharge its liabilities, and otherwise wind up its affairs in such manner and over such period as determined by the Liquidator, subject toSection 17-804 of the Delaware Act and the following:

(a) The assets may be disposed of by public or private sale or by distribution in kind to one or more Partners on such terms as the Liquidator and such Partner or Partners may agree. If any property is distributed in kind, the Partner receiving the property shall be deemed for purposes of Section 12.4(c) to have received cash equal to its fair market value; and contemporaneously therewith, appropriate cash distributions must be made to the other Partners. The Liquidator may defer liquidation or distribution of the Partnership’s assets for a reasonable time if it determines that an immediate sale or distribution of all or some of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners. The Liquidator may distribute the Partnership’s assets, in whole or in part, in kind if it determines that a sale would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners.

(b) Liabilities of the Partnership include amounts owed to the Liquidator as compensation for serving in such capacity (subject to the terms of Section 12.3) and to Partners otherwise than in respect of their distribution rights under Article VI.

If such an amendment is proposed, the General Partner shall seek the written approval of the requisite percentage of Outstanding Units or call a meeting of the Unitholders to consider and vote on such proposed amendment. The General Partner shall notify all Record Holders upon final adoption of any such proposed amendments.

Section 13.3Amendment Requirements.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.1 and Section 13.2, no amendment to this Agreement may (i) enlarge the obligations of any Limited Partner without its consent, unless such shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of an amendment approved pursuant to Section 13.3(c), or (ii) enlarge the obligations of, restrict in any way any action by or rights of, or reduce in any way the amounts distributable, reimbursable, or otherwise payable to, the General Partner or any of its Affiliates without its consent, which consent may be given or withheld at its option.

Limited Partners shall call a special meeting by delivering to the General Partner one or more requests in writing stating that the signing Limited Partners wish to call a special

105

meeting and indicating the general or specific purposes for which the special meeting is to be called. Within 60 days after receipt of such a call from Limited Partners or within such greater time as may be reasonably necessary for the Partnership to comply with any statutes, rules, regulations, listing agreements, or similar requirements governing the holding of a meeting or the solicitation of proxies for use at such a meeting, the General Partner shall send a notice of the meeting to the Limited Partners either directly or indirectly through the Transfer Agent. A meeting shall be held at a time and place determined by the General Partner on a date not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days after the mailing of notice of the meeting. Limited Partners shall not vote on matters that would cause the Limited Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management and control of the business and affairs of the Partnership so as to jeopardize the Limited Partners’ limited liability under the Delaware Act or the law of any other state in which the Partnership is qualified to do business.

Section 13.5Notice of a Meeting.

Notice of a meeting called pursuant to Section 13.4 shall be given to the Record Holders of the class or classes of Units for which a meeting is proposed in writing by mail or other means of written communication in accordance with Section 16.1. The notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when deposited in the mail or sent by other means of written communication.

Section 13.6Record Date.

For purposes of determining the Limited Partners entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Limited Partners or to give approvals without a meeting as provided in Section 13.11, the General Partner may set a Record Date, which shall not be less than 10 nor more than 60 days before (a) the date of the meeting (unless such requirement conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline, or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed or admitted to trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline, or requirement of such National Securities Exchange shall govern) or (b) in the event that approvals are sought without a meeting, the date by which Limited Partners are requested in writing by the General Partner to give such approvals. If the General Partner does not set a Record Date, then (i) the Record Date for determining the Limited Partners entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Limited Partners shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, and (ii) the Record Date for determining the Limited Partners entitled to give approvals without a meeting shall be the date the first written approval is deposited with the Partnership in care of the General Partner in accordance with Section 13.11.

At the adjourned meeting, the Partnership may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 45 days or if a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with this Article XIII.

106

Section 13.8Waiver of Notice; Approval of Meeting; Approval of Minutes.

The transactions of any meeting of Limited Partners, however called and noticed, and whenever held, shall be as valid as if it had occurred at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy. Attendance of a Limited Partner at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when the Limited Partner attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to disapprove the consideration of matters required to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if the disapproval is expressly made at the meeting.

Section 13.9Quorum and Voting.

The holders of a majority of the Outstanding Units of the class or classes for which a meeting has been called (including Outstanding Units deemed owned by the General Partner) represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Limited Partners of such class or classes unless any such action by the Limited Partners requires approval by holders of a greater percentage of such Units, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage. At any meeting of the Limited Partners duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of Limited Partners holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent a majority of the Outstanding Units entitled to vote and be present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Limited Partners, unless a greater or different percentage is required with respect to such action under the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the act of the Limited Partners holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent at least such greater or different percentage shall be required. The Limited Partners present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Limited Partners to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the required percentage of Outstanding Units specified in this Agreement (including Outstanding Units deemed owned by the General Partner). In the absence of a quorum any meeting of Limited Partners may be adjourned from time to time by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Units entitled to vote at such meeting (including Outstanding Units deemed owned by the General Partner) represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted, except as provided in Section 13.7.

Section 13.10Conduct of a Meeting.

The General Partner shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 13.4, the conduct of voting, the validity and effect of any proxies, and the determination of any controversies, votes, or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting. The General Partner shall designate a Person to serve as chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting. All minutes shall be kept with the records of the Partnership maintained by the General Partner. The General Partner may make such other regulations consistent with applicable law and this Agreement as it may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes and approvals, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote, and the revocation of approvals in writing.

107

Section 13.11Action Without a Meeting.

If authorized by the General Partner, any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Limited Partners may be taken without a meeting if an approval in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Limited Partners owning not less than the minimum percentage of the Outstanding Units (including Units deemed owned by the General Partner) that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Limited Partners were present and voted (unless such provision conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline, or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed or admitted to trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline, or requirement of such National Securities Exchange shall govern). Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Limited Partners who have not approved in writing. The General Partner may specify that any written ballot submitted to Limited Partners for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Partnership within the time period, which shall be not less than 20 days, specified by the General Partner. If a ballot returned to the Partnership does not vote all of the Units held by the Limited Partners, the Partnership shall be deemed to have failed to receive a ballot for the Units that were not voted. If approval of the taking of any action by the Limited Partners is solicited by any Person other than by or on behalf of the General Partner, the written approvals shall have no force and effect unless and until (a) they are deposited with the Partnership in care of the General Partner, (b) approvals sufficient to take the action proposed are dated as of a date not more than 90 days prior to the date sufficient approvals are deposited with the Partnership, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the General Partner to the effect that the exercise of such right and the action proposed to be taken with respect to any particular matter (i) will not cause the Limited Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management and control of the business and affairs of the Partnership so as to jeopardize the Limited Partners’ limited liability and (ii) is otherwise permissible under the state statutes then governing the rights, duties and liabilities of the Partnership and the Partners.

Section 13.12Right to Vote and Related Matters.

(a) Only those Record Holders of the Units on the Record Date set pursuant to Section 13.6 (and also subject to the limitations contained in the definition of “Outstanding”) shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Limited Partners or to act with respect to matters as to which the holders of the Outstanding Units have the right to vote or to act.

(b) Only those Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units, or Series C Preferred Units, as applicable, on the Record Date set pursuant to Section 13.6 (and subject to the limitations contained in the definition of “Outstanding” and the limitations set forth in Section 5.14(b)(iii), Section 5.15(b)(iii), and Section 5.16(b)(iii)) shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Limited Partners holding Series A Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units, or Series C Preferred Units, as applicable, or to act with respect to matters as to which the holders of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, Outstanding Series B Preferred Units, or Outstanding Series C Preferred Units, as applicable, have the right to vote or to act. All references in this Agreement to votes of, or other acts that may be taken by, the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, Outstanding Series B Preferred Units, or Outstanding Series C Preferred Units, as applicable, shall be deemed to be references to the votes or acts of the Record Holders of such Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, Outstanding Series B Preferred Units, or Outstanding Series C Preferred Units, as applicable.

108

(c) With respect to Units that are held for a Person’s account by another Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company, or clearing corporation, or an agent of any of the foregoing), in whose name such Units are registered, such other Person shall, in exercising the voting rights in respect of such Units on any matter, and unless the arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise, vote such Units in favor of, and at the direction of, the Person who is the beneficial owner, and the Partnership shall be entitled to assume it is so acting without further inquiry. The provisions of this Section 13.12(c) (as well as all other provisions of this Agreement) are subject to the provisions of Section 4.3.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the General Partner and its Affiliates hold more than 80% of the total Limited Partner Interests of any class then Outstanding (other than the Series A Preferred Units, the Series B Preferred Units, and the Series C Preferred Units), the General Partner shall then have the right, which right it may assign and transfer in whole or in part to the Partnership or any Affiliate of the General Partner, exercisable at its option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Limited Partner Interests of such class then Outstanding held by Persons other than the General Partner and its Affiliates, at the greater of (x) the Current Market Price as of the date three Business Days prior to the date that the notice described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed and (y) the highest price paid by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates for any such Limited Partner Interest of such class purchased during the90-day period preceding the date that the notice described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed. As used in this Agreement, (i) “Current Market Price” as of any date of any class of Limited Partner Interests means the average of the daily Closing Prices (as hereinafter defined) per Limited Partner Interest of such class for the 20 consecutive Trading Days (as hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such date; (ii) “Closing Price” for any day means the last sale price on such day, regular way, or in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day, regular way, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal National Securities Exchange (other than the Nasdaq Stock Market) on which such Limited Partner Interests are listed or admitted to trading or, if such Limited Partner Interests of such class are not listed or admitted to trading on any National Securities Exchange (other than the Nasdaq Stock Market), the last quoted price on such day or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices on such day in theover-the-counter market, as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market or such other system then in use, or, if on any such day such Limited Partner Interests of such class are not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in such Limited Partner Interests of such class selected by the General Partner, or if on any such day no market maker is making a market in such Limited Partner

Interests of such class, the fair value of such Limited Partner Interests on such day as determined by the General Partner; and (iii) “Trading Day” means a day on which the principal National Securities Exchange on which such Limited Partner Interests of any class are listed or admitted for trading is open for the transaction of business or, if Limited Partner Interests of a class are not listed or admitted for trading on any National Securities Exchange, a day on which banking institutions in New York City generally are open.

(b) If the General Partner, any Affiliate of the General Partner, or the Partnership elects to exercise the right to purchase Limited Partner Interests granted pursuant to Section 15.1(a), the General Partner shall deliver to the Transfer Agent notice of such election to purchase (the “Notice of Election to Purchase”) and shall cause the Transfer Agent to mail a copy of such Notice of Election to Purchase to the Record Holders of Limited Partner Interests of such class (as of a Record Date selected by the General Partner) at least 10, but not more than 60, days prior to the Purchase Date. Such Notice of Election to Purchase shall also be published for a period of at least three consecutive days in at least two daily newspapers of general circulation printed in the English language and published in the Borough of Manhattan, New York. The Notice of Election to Purchase shall specify the Purchase Date and the price (determined in accordance with Section 15.1(a)) at which Limited Partner Interests will be purchased and state that the General Partner, its Affiliate, or the Partnership, as the case may be, elects to purchase such Limited Partner Interests, upon surrender of Certificates representing such Limited Partner Interests in exchange for payment, at such office or offices of the Transfer Agent as the Transfer Agent may specify, or as may be required by any National Securities Exchange on which such Limited Partner Interests are listed. Any such Notice of Election to Purchase mailed to a Record Holder of Limited Partner Interests at his address as reflected in the records of the Transfer Agent shall be conclusively presumed to have been given regardless of whether the owner receives such notice. On or prior to the Purchase Date, the General Partner, its Affiliate, or the Partnership, as the case may be, shall deposit with the Transfer Agent cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate purchase price of all of such Limited Partner Interests to be purchased in accordance with this Section 15.1. If the Notice of Election to Purchase shall have been duly given as aforesaid at least 10 days prior to the Purchase Date, and if on or prior to the Purchase Date the deposit described in the preceding sentence has been made for the benefit of the holders of Limited Partner Interests subject to purchase as provided herein, then from and after the Purchase Date, notwithstanding that any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for purchase, all rights of the holders of such Limited Partner Interests (including any rights pursuant to Article IV, Article V, Article VI, and Article XII) shall thereupon cease, except the right to receive the purchase price (determined in accordance with Section 15.1(a)) for Limited Partner Interests therefor, without interest, upon surrender to the Transfer Agent of the Certificates representing such Limited Partner Interests, and such Limited Partner Interests shall thereupon be deemed to be transferred to the General Partner, its Affiliate, or the Partnership, as the case may be, on the record books of the Transfer Agent and the Partnership, and the General Partner, any Affiliate of the General Partner, or the Partnership, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the owner of all such Limited Partner Interests from and after the Purchase Date and shall have all rights as the owner of such Limited Partner Interests (including all rights as owner of such Limited Partner Interests pursuant to Article IV, Article V, Article VI, and Article XII).

(c) At any time from and after the Purchase Date, a holder of an Outstanding Limited Partner Interest subject to purchase as provided in this Section 15.1 may surrender his Certificate evidencing such Limited Partner Interest to the Transfer Agent in exchange for payment of the amount described in Section 15.1(a) therefor, without interest thereon.
