(i) Following the Effective Time, in connection with (A) the delivery by RCR to the Partnership of any Common Units included in the Adjustment Securities (as defined in the Asset Contribution Agreement) pursuant to Section 3.5 (Post-Closing Adjustment) of the Asset Contribution Agreement or (B) the release and delivery by the Transfer Agent to the Partnership of any Common Units included in the Indemnity Securities (as defined in the Asset Contribution Agreement) in connection with the satisfaction of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.13 (Indemnity Escrow) of the Asset Contribution Agreement (any such delivery of Common Units, an “Adjustment Surrender”), (1) any such Common Units delivered to the Partnership by RCR or the Transfer Agent in satisfaction of such Adjustment Surrender shall be surrendered to the Partnership and cancelled and Schedule 1 shall be updated accordingly without approval required from any Partner, and (2) simultaneously therewith, the Required Preferred Shares shall be surrendered to the Corporation and cancelled in exchange for a payment by the Corporation to RCR in an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the Required Preferred Shares so surrendered. Such surrender and cancellation of the Common Units and the Required Preferred Shares shall be treated as having occurred for all purposes as of the Effective Time. Any Partner required to surrender Common Units pursuant to this Section 3.03(c)(i) agrees to take all such actions and execute any documents, instruments or certificates to effect the surrender and cancellation of the Common Units and the Required Preferred Shares as may reasonably be requested by the General Partner, the Corporation or the Transfer Agent.

(i) The Partnership shall make distributions to all Limited Partners pro rata, in accordance with each Limited Partner’s Percentage Interest, on a quarterly basis and in such amounts as necessary to enable the Corporation to timely satisfy all of its U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax liabilities.

(ii) If a Partner (other than the Corporation) has an Assumed Tax Liability for the relevant quarter in excess of the sum of the cumulative amount of cash distributed under Section 4.01(a) and Section 4.01(b) and any Tax Advances remitted to such Partner through such date, the Partnership shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and subject to the availability of funds and any restrictions contained in any agreement to which the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, make advances to such Partner in an amount equal to such excess (a “Tax Advance”) to enable such Partner (or any direct or indirect owner of such Partner) to timely satisfy its U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax liabilities, including estimated tax liabilities. Any such Tax Advance shall be treated as an advance against and, thus, shall reduce (without duplication), any future distributions that would otherwise be made to such Partner pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and Section 14.02(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Partner may choose to decline any Tax Advance payable to such Partner pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)(ii). If there is a Tax Advance outstanding with respect to a Partner who (A) elects to participate in a Redemption (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Direct Exchange at the option of the Corporation pursuant to Section 11.03), or (B) Transfers Units pursuant to the provisions of Article X, then in each case, as a condition to such Redemption or Transfer, such Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership against such Tax Advance, and shall be required to promptly pay to the Partnership (but in all events within fifteen (15) days after the Redemption Date or the date of the applicable Transfer, as the case may be) an amount of cash equal to the proportionate share of such Tax Advance relating to its Common Units subject to the Redemption or Transfer (determined at the time of the Redemption or Transfer based on the number of Common Units subject to the Redemption or Transfer as compared to the total number of Common Units held by such Partner), provided that, in the case of a Transfer described in the foregoing clause (B), such Partner shall not be required to pay such amount of cash equal to the proportionate share of such Tax Advance relating to its Common Units subject to such Transfer if the transferee is credit worthy (based on the reasonable judgment of the General Partner) and agrees to assume (pursuant to terms reasonably acceptable to the General Partner) such Partner’s obligation to repay to the Partnership such amount equal to the proportionate share of such Partner’s existing Tax Advance relating to such Common Units subject to the Transfer, and such Partner shall be relieved from any liabilities associated with and the obligation to repay its existing Tax Advance relating to such Common Units subject to such Transfer. The obligations of each Partner pursuant to the preceding sentence shall survive the withdrawal of any Partner or the transfer of any Partner’s Units in the Partnership and shall apply to any current or former Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, any repayment of a Tax Advance pursuant to the previous sentence shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution.

Section 4.02 Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership shall not make any Distribution to any Partner on account of any Limited Partner Interest if such Distribution would violate any applicable Law or the terms of the Credit Agreement or other debt financing of the Partnership or its Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE V

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; ALLOCATIONS; TAX MATTERS

Section 5.01 Capital Accounts.

(a) The Partnership shall maintain a separate Capital Account for each Partner according to the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). For this purpose, the Partnership may (in the discretion of the General Partner), upon the occurrence of the events specified in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), increase or decrease the Capital Accounts in accordance with the rules of such Treasury Regulations and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) to reflect a revaluation of Partnership property.

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

(i) The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall include those items described in Code Section 705(a)(l)(B) or Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are not deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(ii) If the Book Value of any Partnership property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property.

(iii) Items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the disposition of Partnership property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of such property.

(iv) In lieu of the depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions (excluding depletion) taken into account in computing Profits or Losses, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such Taxable Year or other Fiscal Period.

(v) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 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).

(vi) Simulated Gains with respect to Depletable Properties shall be taken into account in computing Profits and Losses in lieu of actual gains on such Depletable Properties.

(vii) Items specifically allocated under Section 5.03 shall be excluded from the computation of Profits and Losses.

Section 5.02 Allocations. After giving effect to the allocations under Section 5.03, Profits and Losses (or items thereof) for any Taxable Year or other Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Partners in such a manner that, after adjusting for all Capital Contributions and distributions through the end of such Taxable Year or other Fiscal Period, the Capital Account balance of each Partner, immediately after making such allocation, is as nearly as possible equal to (a) the amount such Partner would receive pursuant to Section 14.02(d) if all of the assets of the Partnership on hand at the end of such Taxable Year or other Fiscal Period were sold for cash equal to their Book Values, all liabilities of the Partnership were satisfied in cash in accordance with their terms (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Book Value of the assets securing such liability), and all remaining or resulting cash were distributed, in accordance with Section 14.02(d), to the Partners, minus (b) such Partner’s share of the Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets, and the amount any such Partner is treated as obligated to contribute to the Partnership, computed immediately after the hypothetical sale of assets. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, the General Partner shall make appropriate adjustments to allocations of Profits and Losses to (or, if necessary, allocate items of gross income, gain, loss or deduction of the Partnership among) the Partners such that, to the maximum extent possible, the Capital Accounts of the Partners are proportionate to their Percentage Interests. In each case, such adjustments or allocations shall occur, to the maximum extent possible, in the Taxable Year or other Fiscal Period of the event requiring such adjustments or allocations.

Section 5.03 Regulatory and Special Allocations.

(a) Partner nonrecourse deductions (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) attributable to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during a Taxable Year in Partner Minimum Gain, Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Taxable Years) shall be allocated to the Partners in the amounts and of such character as determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 5.03(a) is intended to be a partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(b) Nonrecourse deductions (as determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) for any Taxable Year shall be allocated pro rata among the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.03(a), if there is a net decrease in the Partnership Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Partner shall be allocated Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Taxable Years) in the amounts and of such character as determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 5.03(b) is intended to be a minimum gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(c) If any Partner that unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or Distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any Taxable Year, computed after the application of Sections 5.03(a) and 5.03(b) but before the application of any other provision of this Article V, then Profits for such Taxable Year shall be allocated to such Partner in proportion to, and to the extent of, such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. This Section 5.03(c) is intended to be a qualified income offset provision as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(d) If the allocation of Losses to a Partner as provided in Section 5.02 would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, there shall be allocated to such Partner only that amount of Losses as will not create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. The Losses that would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such Partner shall be allocated to the other Partners in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests, subject to this Section 5.03(d).

(e) Profits and Losses described in Section 5.01(b)(v) shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the manner that the adjustments to the Capital Accounts are required to be made pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j) and (m).

(f) Simulated Depletion for each Depletable Property and Simulated Loss upon the disposition of a Depletable Property shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their shares of the Simulated Basis in such property.

(g) The allocations set forth in Section 5.03(a) through and including Section 5.03(e) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to allocate Profit and Loss of the Partnership or make Distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article V, but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, income, gain, deduction and loss shall be reallocated among the Partners so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Partners to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Profit and Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Partners anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other Profit and Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) among the Partners so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Partner is zero.

Section 5.04 Tax Allocations.

(a) The income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Partnership will be allocated, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, among the Partners in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Partners for computing their Capital Accounts; provided, that if any such allocation is not

permitted by the Code or other applicable Law, the Partnership’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits will be allocated among the Partners so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

(b) Items of Partnership taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and depletion with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with Code Section 704(c) so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its Book Value using the “traditional allocation method”, as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

(c) If the Book Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 5.01(b), subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its Book Value under Code Section 704(c) in the manner determined in good faith by the General Partner.

(d) If, as a result of an exercise of a noncompensatory option to acquire an interest in the Partnership, a Capital Account reallocation is required under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), the Partnership shall make corrective allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x).

(e) Allocations of tax credits, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Partners pro rata as determined by the General Partner taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(f) For purposes of determining a Partner’s pro rata share of the Partnership’s “excess nonrecourse liabilities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Partner’s interest in income and gain shall be in proportion to its Percentage Interest.

(g) Cost and percentage depletion deductions with respect each Depletable Property shall be computed separately by the Partners rather than the Partnership. For purposes of such computations, the U.S. federal income tax basis of each Depletable Property shall be allocated to each Partner in accordance with such Partner’s Percentage Interest as of the time such Depletable Property is acquired by the Partnership, and shall be reallocated among the Partners in accordance with such Partner’s Percentage Interest as determined immediately following the occurrence of an event giving rise to an adjustment to the Book Values of the Partnership’s Depletable Properties pursuant to the definition of Book Value (or at the time of any material additions to the U.S. federal income tax basis of such Depletable Property). Such allocations are intended to be applied in accordance with the “partners’ interests in partnership capital” under Code Section 613A(c)(7)(D); provided that the Partners understand and agree that the General Partner may authorize special allocations of tax basis, income, gain, deduction or loss, as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in order to eliminate differences between Simulated Basis and adjusted U.S. federal income tax basis with respect to Depletable Properties, in such manner as determined consistent with the principles of Code Section 704(c), the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and the portions of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(b) that apply the principles of Code Section 704(c), using the “traditional allocation method,” as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

For the purposes of applying Code Section 704(c) to Depletable Properties (i) the amount by which any Partner’s Capital Account is adjusted for Simulated Depletion shall be treated as an amount of book depletion allocated to such Partner and (ii) the amount of cost depletion computed by such Partner under Code Section 613A(c)(7)(D) shall be treated as an amount of tax depletion allocated to such Partner.

(h) For purposes of the separate computation of gain or loss by each Partner on a taxable disposition of Depletable Property, the amount realized from such disposition shall be allocated (i) first, to the Partners in an amount equal to the Simulated Basis in such Depletable Property and in the same proportion as their shares thereof were allocated and (ii) second, any remaining amount realized shall be allocated consistent with the allocation of Simulated Gains; provided, however, that the Partners understand and agree that the General Partner may authorize special allocations of tax basis, income, gain, deduction or loss, as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in order to eliminate differences between Simulated Basis and adjusted U.S. federal income tax basis with respect to Depletable Properties, in such manner as determined by the General Partner consistent with the principles of Code Section 704(c), the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and the portions of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(b) that apply the principles of Code Section 704(c), using the “traditional allocation method,” as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). The provisions of this Section 5.05(h) and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to allocations under Code Section 613A(c)(7)(D) are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(v) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.

(i) Each Partner shall, in a manner consistent with this Article V, separately keep records of its share of the adjusted tax basis in each Depletable Property, adjust such share of the adjusted tax basis for any cost or percentage depletion allowable with respect to such property and use such adjusted tax basis in the computation of its cost depletion or in the computation of its gain or loss on the disposition of such property by the Partnership. Upon the request of the Partnership, each Partner may advise the Partnership of its adjusted tax basis in each Depletable Property and any depletion computed with respect thereto, both as computed in accordance with the provisions of this subsection. The Partnership may rely on such information and, if it is not provided by the Partner, may make such reasonable assumptions as it shall determine with respect thereto.

(j) Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.04 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, Distributions or other Partnership items pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Section 5.05 Withholding; Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Partner. The Partnership and its Subsidiaries may withhold from distributions, allocations or portions thereof, if it is required to do so by any applicable Law, and each Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership and its Subsidiaries to withhold or pay on behalf of, or with respect to, such Partner any amount of U.S. federal, state, or local or non-U.S. taxes that the General Partner determines, in good faith, that the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, if the Partnership is obligated to pay any other amount to a Governmental Entity (or otherwise makes a payment to a Governmental Entity) that is specifically attributable to a Partner

(including U.S. federal income taxes as a result of Partnership obligations arising in connection with a U.S. federal income tax audit of the Partnership with respect to items of income, gain, loss deduction or credit allocable or attributable to such Partner, state personal property taxes, and state unincorporated business taxes), then such tax shall be treated as an amount of taxes withheld or paid with respect to such Partner pursuant to this Section 5.05. For all purposes under this Agreement, any amounts withheld or paid with respect to a Partner pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall be treated as having been distributed to such Partner at the time such withholding or payment is made. Further, to the extent that the cumulative amount of such withholding or payment for any period exceeds the distributions to which such Partner is entitled for such period, such Partner shall indemnify the Partnership in full for the amount of such excess. The General Partner may offset Distributions to which a Partner is otherwise entitled under this Agreement against such Partner’s obligation to indemnify the Partnership under this Section 5.05. A Partner’s obligation to indemnify the Partnership under this Section 5.05 shall survive such Partner ceasing to be a partner in the Partnership and the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Partnership, and for purposes of this Section 5.05, the Partnership shall be treated as continuing in existence. The Partnership may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Partner under this Section 5.05, including instituting a lawsuit to collect amounts owed under such indemnity with interest accruing from the date such withholding or payment is made by the Partnership at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by Law). Each Partner hereby agrees to furnish to the Partnership such information and forms as required or reasonably requested in order to comply with any laws and regulations governing withholding of tax or in order to claim any reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding to which the Partner is legally entitled.

Section 5.06 Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Partnership and the Partners intend to follow the tax treatment described in Section 4.12 of the Contribution Agreement and Section 6.7(g) of the Asset Contribution Agreement, as applicable.

ARTICLE VI

MANAGEMENT

Section 6.01 Authority of General Partner.

(a) Except for situations in which the approval of any Limited Partner(s) is specifically required by this Agreement, (i) all management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership shall be exclusively vested in the General Partner and (ii) the General Partner shall conduct, direct and exercise full control over all activities of the Partnership. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, no Limited Partner has the right or power to participate in the management or affairs of the Partnership, nor does any Limited Partner have the power to sign for or bind the Partnership or deal with third parties on behalf of the Partnership without the consent of the General Partner.

(b) The day-to-day business and operations of the Partnership shall be overseen and implemented by officers of the Partnership (each, an “Officer” and collectively, the “Officers”), subject to the limitations imposed by the General Partner. An Officer may, but need not, be a Partner. Each Officer shall be appointed by the General Partner and shall hold office until his or her successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his or her death or until he or she

shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. Any one Person may hold more than one office. Subject to the other provisions in this Agreement, the salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers shall be fixed from time to time by the General Partner. The authority and responsibility of the Officers shall include, but not be limited to, such duties as the General Partner may, from time to time, delegate to them and the carrying out of the Partnership’s business and affairs on a day-to-day basis. An Officer may also perform one or more roles as an officer of the General Partner. The General Partner may remove any Officer from office at any time, with or without cause. If any vacancy shall occur in any office, for any reason whatsoever, then the General Partner shall have the right to appoint a new Officer to fill the vacancy.

(c) The General Partner shall have the power and authority to effectuate the sale, lease, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any, all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership (including the exercise or grant of any conversion, option, privilege or subscription right or any other right available in connection with any assets at any time held by the Partnership) or the merger, consolidation, reorganization or other combination of the Partnership with or into another entity.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any Officer authorized by the General Partner shall have the authority, on behalf of the Partnership, either directly or indirectly, without the prior approval of each Partner, to take any action that would result in the failure of the Partnership to be taxable as a partnership for purposes of U.S. federal income tax, or take any position inconsistent with treating the Partnership as a partnership for purposes of U.S. federal income tax, except as required by Law.

Section 6.02 Actions of the General Partner. The General Partner may act through any Officer or through any other Person or Persons to whom authority and duties have been delegated pursuant to Section 6.01.

Section 6.03 Transfer and Withdrawal of General Partner.

(a) The General Partner shall not have the right to transfer or assign the General Partner Interest, and the General Partner shall not have the right to withdraw from the Partnership; provided, that, without the consent of any of the Limited Partners, the General Partner may in good faith, at the General Partner’s expense, be reconstituted as or converted into a corporation, partnership or other form of entity (any such reconstituted or converted entity being deemed to be the General Partner for all purposes hereof) by merger, consolidation, conversion or otherwise, or transfer or assign the General Partner Interest (in whole or in part) to one of its Affiliates that is a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Corporation so long as such other entity or Affiliate shall have assumed in writing the obligations of the General Partner under this Agreement. In the event of an assignment or other transfer of all of the General Partner Interest in accordance with this Section 6.03, such assignee or transferee shall be substituted in the General Partner’s place as general partner of the Partnership and immediately thereafter the General Partner shall withdraw as a general partner of the Partnership (but shall remain entitled to exculpation and indemnification pursuant to Section 6.07 and Section 7.04 with respect to events occurring on or prior to such date).

(b) Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 6.03(a), no assignee or transferee shall become the general partner of the Partnership by virtue of such assignee’s or transferee’s

receiving all or a portion of any interest in the Partnership from the General Partner or another assignee or transferee from the General Partner without the written consent of all of the Partners to such substitution, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions as each Partner deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

Section 6.04 Transactions Between Partnership and General Partner. The General Partner may cause the Partnership to contract and deal with the General Partner, or any Affiliate of the General Partner, provided such contracts and dealings are (i) on terms comparable to and competitive with those available to the Partnership from others dealing at arm’s length, (ii) are approved by the Partners holding a majority of the Units (excluding Units held by the General Partner and its controlled Affiliates) then outstanding and (iii) are otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.05 Reimbursement for Expenses. The Limited Partners acknowledge and agree that the General Partner is and will continue to be a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Corporation, whose Common Stock is and will continue to be publicly traded, and therefore the General Partner and the Corporation will have access to the public capital markets and that such status and the services performed by the General Partner will inure to the benefit of the Partnership and all Limited Partners; therefore, the General Partner and the Corporation shall be reimbursed by the Partnership for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership, including all fees, expenses and costs of the Corporation being a public company (including public reporting obligations, proxy statements, stockholder meetings, stock exchange fees, transfer agent fees, SEC and FINRA filing fees and offering expenses) and maintaining its corporate existence. In the event that (i) shares of Common Stock are sold to underwriters in any public offering after the Effective Time at a price per share that is lower than the price per share for which such shares of Common Stock are sold to the public in such public offering after taking into account underwriters’ discounts or commissions and brokers’ fees or commissions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any deferred discounts or commissions and brokers’ fees or commissions payable in connection with or as a result of the closing of such public offering) (such difference, the “Discount”) and (ii) the proceeds from such public offering are used to fund the Cash Settlement for any Redeemed Units or otherwise contributed to the Partnership, the Partnership shall reimburse the Corporation for such Discount by treating such Discount as an additional Capital Contribution made by the Corporation to the Partnership, issuing Common Units in respect of such deemed Capital Contribution in accordance with Section 11.02, and increasing the Corporation’s Capital Account by the amount of such Discount. To the extent practicable, expenses incurred by the General Partner or the Corporation on behalf of or for the benefit of the Partnership shall be billed directly to and paid by the Partnership and, if and to the extent any reimbursements to the General Partner or the Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 6.05 constitute gross income to such Person (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by such Person on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c).

Section 6.06 [Reserved].

Section 6.07 Limitation of Liability of the General Partner.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein or in an agreement entered into by such Person and the Partnership, neither the General Partner nor any of the General Partner’s Affiliates shall be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner that is not the General Partner for any act or omission performed or omitted by the General Partner in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership pursuant to authority granted to the General Partner by this Agreement; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided herein, such limitation of liability shall not apply to the extent the act or omission was attributable to the General Partner’s bad faith, willful misconduct or violation of Law in which the General Partner acted with knowledge that its conduct was unlawful. 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 shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent (so long as such agent was selected in good faith and with reasonable care). The General Partner shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts, including financial advisors, and any act of or failure to act by the General Partner in good faith reliance on such advice shall in no event subject the General Partner to liability to the Partnership or any Partner that is not the General Partner.

(b) Whenever this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein provides that the General Partner shall act in a manner which is, or provide terms which are, “fair and reasonable” to the Partnership or any Partner that is not the General Partner, the General Partner shall determine such appropriate action or provide such terms considering, in each case, the relative interests of each party to such agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable United States generally accepted accounting practices or principles.

(c) Whenever in this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein, the General Partner is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision in its “sole discretion” with “complete discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the General Partner shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Partnership or other Partners.

(d) Whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision in its “reasonable discretion,” “good faith” or under another express standard, the General Partner shall act under such express standard and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein, and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as the General Partner acts in good faith, the resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by the General Partner shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or impose liability upon the General Partner or any of the General Partner’s Affiliates.

Section 6.08 Investment Company Act. The General Partner shall use its best efforts to ensure that the Partnership shall not be subject to registration as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act.

Section 6.09 Outside Activities of the Corporation and the General Partner. The Corporation shall not, and shall not cause or permit the General Partner to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business or operations, other than, as applicable, in connection with (a) the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Common Units and the General Partner Interest, (b) the management of the business and affairs of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, (c) the operation of the Corporation as a reporting company with a class (or classes) of securities registered under Section 12 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and listed on a securities exchange, (d) the offering, sale, syndication, private placement or public offering of stock, bonds, securities or other interests, (e) financing or refinancing of any type related to the Partnership, its Subsidiaries or their assets or activities, and (f) such activities as are incidental to the foregoing; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided herein, the net proceeds of any sale of Equity Securities of the Corporation pursuant to the preceding clauses (d) and (e) shall be made available to the Partnership as Capital Contributions and the proceeds of any other financing raised by the Corporation pursuant to the preceding clauses (d) and (e) shall be made available to the Partnership as loans or otherwise as deemed appropriate by the Corporation and, provided further, that the Corporation may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time hold or acquire assets in its own name or otherwise other than through the Partnership and its Subsidiaries so long as the Corporation takes all necessary measures to ensure that the economic benefits and burdens of such assets are otherwise vested in the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, through assignment, mortgage loan or otherwise. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit the General Partner from executing any guarantee of indebtedness of the Partnership or its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.10 Standard of Care. Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the General Partner shall, in connection with the performance of its duties in its capacity as the General Partner, have the same fiduciary duties to the Partnership and the Partners as would be owed to a Virginia corporation and its stockholders by its directors, and shall be entitled to the benefit of the same presumptions in carrying out such duties as would be afforded to a director of a Virginia corporation (as such duties and presumptions are defined, described and explained under the Laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as in effect from time to time). The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities of the General Partner otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, such other duties and liabilities of the General Partner.

ARTICLE VII

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF PARTNERS

Section 7.01 Limitation of Liability and Duties of Partners; Investment Opportunities.

(a) Except as provided in this Agreement or in the Delaware Act, no Partner (including the General Partner) shall be obligated personally for any debt, obligation, or liability solely by reason of being a Partner or acting as the General Partner of the Partnership; provided that, in the case of the General Partner, this sentence shall not in any manner limit the liability of the General Partner to the Partnership or any Partner (other than the General Partner) attributable to a breach by the General Partner of any obligations of the General Partner under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of the Partnership to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under this Agreement or the Delaware Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Partners for liabilities of the Partnership.

(b) In accordance with the Delaware Act and the laws of the State of Delaware, a Partner may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Partner. It is the intent of the Partners that no Distribution to any Partner pursuant to Article IV shall be deemed a return of money or other property paid or distributed in violation of the Delaware Act. The payment of any such money or Distribution of any such property to a Partner shall be deemed to be a compromise within the meaning of Section 17-502(b) of the Delaware Act, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any Partner receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return any such money or property to the Partnership or any other Person. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Partner is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Partner and not of any other Partner.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (subject to Section 6.07 and except as set forth in Section 6.10, in each case with respect to the General Partner), to the extent that, at law or in equity, any Partner (or such Partner’s Affiliate or any manager, managing member, general partner, director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of such Partner or of any Affiliate of such Partner (each Person described in this parenthetical, a “Related Person”)) has duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Partnership, to another Partner (including the General Partner), to any Person who acquires an interest in a Limited Partner Interest or to any other Person bound by this Agreement, all such duties (including fiduciary duties) are hereby eliminated, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and replaced with the duties or standards expressly set forth herein, if any. The elimination of duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Partnership, each of the Partners (including the General Partner), each other Person who acquires an interest in a Limited Partner Interest and each other Person bound by this Agreement and replacement thereof with the duties or standards expressly set forth herein, if any, are approved by the Partnership, each of the Partners (including the General Partner), each other Person who acquires an interest in a Limited Partner Interest and each other Person bound by this Agreement.

(d) Subject to Section 3.06 (Corporate Opportunities) of the Investor and Registration Rights Agreement, and notwithstanding any duty (including any fiduciary duty) otherwise applicable at law or in equity, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, will not apply to any Partner (including the General Partner) or to any Related Person of such Partner, and no Partner (or any Related Person of such Partner) that acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Partnership or the Partners will have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Partnership or the Partners, or to develop any particular investment, and such Person will not be liable to the Partnership or the Partners for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that such Person pursues or acquires for, or directs such opportunity to, another Person or does not communicate such investment opportunity to the Partners. Subject to Section 3.06 (Corporate Opportunities) of the Investor and Registration Rights Agreement, notwithstanding any duty (including any fiduciary duty) otherwise applicable at law or in equity, neither the Partnership nor any Partner has any rights or obligations by virtue of this Agreement or the relationships created hereby in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits or losses derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such ventures outside the Partnership, even if competitive with the activities of the Partnership or the Partners, will not be deemed wrongful or improper.

Section 7.02 Lack of Authority. No Partner, other than the General Partner or a duly appointed and authorized Officer, in each case in its capacity as such, has the authority or power to act for or on behalf of the Partnership, to do any act that would be binding on the Partnership or to make any expenditure on behalf of the Partnership. The Partners hereby consent to the exercise by the General Partner of the powers conferred on the General Partner by Law and this Agreement.

Section 7.03 No Right of Partition. No Partner, other than the General Partner, shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of Law of any Partnership property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Partnership.

Section 7.04 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 5.05, the Partnership hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Person (each an “Indemnified Person”) to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted, or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution, or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution, or replacement permits the Partnership to provide broader indemnification rights than the Partnership is providing immediately prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities, and losses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Person (or one or more of such Person’s Affiliates) by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Partner or is or was serving as the General Partner, Officer, employee, Partnership Representative, Designated Individual or other agent of the Partnership or is or was serving at the request of the Partnership as a manager, officer, director, principal, member, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise; provided, however, that no Indemnified Person shall be indemnified for any expenses, liabilities, and losses suffered that are attributable to such Indemnified Person’s or its Affiliates’ bad faith, willful misconduct or violation of Law in which such Indemnified Person acted with knowledge that its conduct was unlawful; provided, further, that no Indemnified Person shall be indemnified for any expenses, liabilities and losses suffered that are attributable to any proceeding among Partners. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such Indemnified Person in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, including any appeal therefrom, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Partnership.

(b) The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 7.04 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, bylaw, action by the General Partner, or otherwise.

(c) The Partnership may maintain, or cause to be maintained, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, or substantially equivalent insurance, at its expense, to protect any Indemnified Person against any expense, liability, or loss described in Section 7.04(a) whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Indemnified Person against such expense,

liability, or loss under the provisions of this Section 7.04; provided, however, that the Partnership’s inability to obtain, directly or indirectly, such insurance shall in no way limit or waive its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.04. The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase and maintain, or cause to be purchased and maintained, property and casualty insurance in types and at levels customary for companies of similar size engaged in similar lines of business, as determined in good faith by the General Partner.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including in this Section 7.04), the Partnership agrees that any indemnification and advancement of expenses available to any current or former Indemnified Person from any investment fund that is an Affiliate of the Partnership who served as a director of the Partnership or as a Partner of the Partnership by virtue of such Person’s service as a member, director, partner, or employee of any such fund prior to or following the Effective Time (any such Person, a “Sponsor Person”) shall be secondary to the indemnification and advancement of expenses to be provided by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 7.04 which shall be provided out of and to the extent of Partnership assets only and no Partner (unless such Partner otherwise agrees in writing or is found in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction to have personal liability on account thereof) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity of the Partnership and the Partnership (i) shall be the primary indemnitor of first resort for such Sponsor Person pursuant to this Section 7.04 and (ii) shall be fully responsible for the advancement of all expenses and the payment of all damages or liabilities with respect to such Sponsor Person which are addressed by this Section 7.04.

(e) If this Section 7.04 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Partnership shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 7.04 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 7.04 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 7.05 Limited Partners’ Right to Act. For matters that require the approval of the Limited Partners, the Limited Partners shall act through meetings and written consents as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) below:

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, acts by the Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Units, voting together as a single class, shall be the acts of the Limited Partners. Any Limited Partner entitled to vote at a meeting of Limited Partners may authorize another person or persons to act for it by proxy. An electronic mail or similar transmission by the Limited Partner, or a photographic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing executed by the Limited Partner shall (if stated thereon) be treated as a proxy executed in writing for purposes of this Section 7.05(a). No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after eleven (11) months from the date thereof, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and that the proxy is coupled with an interest. Should a proxy designate two or more Persons to act as proxies, unless that instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such Persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or, if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any

particular issue, the Partnership shall not be required to recognize such proxy with respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the votes that are the subject of such proxy are to be voted with respect to such issue.

(b) The actions by the Limited Partners permitted hereunder may be taken at a meeting called by the General Partner or by the Limited Partners holding a majority of the Units entitled to vote on such matter on at least forty eight (48) hours’ prior written notice to the other Limited Partners entitled to vote, which notice shall state the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is being called. The actions taken by the Limited Partners entitled to vote or consent at any meeting (as opposed to by written consent), however called and noticed, shall be as valid as though taken at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if (but not until), either before, at or after the meeting, the Limited Partners entitled to vote or consent as to whom it was improperly held signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. The actions by the Limited Partners entitled to vote or consent may be taken by vote of the Limited Partners entitled to vote or consent at a meeting or by written consent, so long as such consent is signed by Limited Partners having not less than the minimum number of Units that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Limited Partners entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the action so taken, which shall state the purpose or purposes for which such consent is required and may be delivered via email, without a meeting shall be given to those Limited Partners entitled to vote or consent who have not consented in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect the validity of the action taken by such written consent. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent of the Limited Partners shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the Limited Partners at a meeting thereof.

Section 7.06 Inspection Rights. The Partnership shall permit each Partner and each of its designated representatives to visit and inspect, upon reasonable advance notice and during business hours, (a) the books and records of the Partnership, including its partner ledger and a list of its Partners and (b) the books and records of its Subsidiaries, in each case, only to the extent such visitation and inspection would be permitted under Section 3.05 (Information Rights) of the Investor and Registration Rights Agreement and subject to any restrictions contained therein as though such Partner were deemed to be a part of the “Investor Group” (as defined therein).

ARTICLE VIII

BOOKS, RECORDS, ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS

Section 8.01 Records and Accounting. The Partnership shall keep, or cause to be kept, appropriate books and records with respect to the Partnership’s business, including all books and records necessary to provide any information, lists and copies of documents required to be provided pursuant to Section 9.01 or pursuant to applicable Laws. All matters concerning (a) the determination of the relative amount of allocations and Distributions among the Limited Partners pursuant to Articles III and IV and (b) accounting procedures and determinations, and other determinations not specifically and expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall be determined by the General Partner, whose determination shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Limited Partners absent manifest clerical error.

Section 8.02 Fiscal Year. The Fiscal Year of the Partnership shall end on December 31 of each year or such other date as may be established by the General Partner; provided that the Partnership shall have the same Fiscal Year for accounting purposes as its Taxable Year for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

ARTICLE IX

TAX MATTERS

Section 9.01 Preparation of Tax Returns. The General Partner shall arrange, at the Partnership’s expense, for the preparation and timely filing of all tax returns required to be filed by the Partnership and its Subsidiaries. The General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to send to each Person who was a Partner at any time during a Taxable Year, a completed IRS Schedule K-1 by April 15 following the end of such Taxable Year. The General Partner also shall timely provide each Partner all other information reasonably requested by a Partner and necessary for the preparation of such Partner’s U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax returns. In addition, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to provide each such Person a good faith estimate of the amounts to be included on such IRS Schedule K-1 for the relevant Taxable Year by February 28 following the end of such Taxable Year. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the General Partner shall have the authority to prepare the tax returns of the Partnership using the elections set forth in Section 9.02 and such other permissible methods and elections as it determines in its reasonable discretion.

Section 9.02 Tax Elections. The Partnership and any eligible Subsidiary shall make an election pursuant to Code Section 754 and shall not thereafter revoke such election at any time. In addition, the Partnership and each eligible Subsidiary shall make the following elections on the appropriate forms or tax returns:

(a) to adopt the calendar year as its Taxable Year, if permitted under the Code;

(b) to adopt the accrual method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

Each Partner will upon request supply any information reasonably necessary to give proper effect to any such elections.

Section 9.03 Texas Margin Tax Sharing Arrangement. If applicable Law requires (a) a Partner (the “Reporting Partner”) and (b) the Partnership to participate in the filing of a Texas margin tax combined group report, the Partners agree that the Partnership shall be responsible for the Partnership’s Texas margin tax liability as determined prior to the application of any tax credits or similar tax assets generated by and available to any entity included in the combined group, other than the Partnership (the “Allocable Margin Tax Liability”). The Partnership’s Allocable Margin Tax Liability shall be equal to (i) the Partnership’s Texas margin tax liability determined on a separate company basis (the “Stand-Alone Margin Tax Liability”), adjusted upward (if a positive number) or downward (if a negative number) by (ii) the Partnership’s Applicable Share, multiplied by the difference between (A) the sum of the Texas margin tax liability (determined on a separate

company basis) of each separate company in the combined group (the “Total Separate Company Margin Tax Liability”) and (B) the combined group’s Texas margin tax liability; provided, that the Partnership shall not receive any downward adjustment to its Stand-Alone Margin Tax Liability for any tax credits or similar tax assets generated by and available to any entity included in the combined group, other than the Partnership. For purposes of this Section 9.03, the term “Applicable Share” means the proportion, expressed as a percentage, that the Partnership’s Stand-Alone Margin Tax Liability bears to the Total Separate Company Margin Tax Liability.

Section 9.04 Tax Controversies.

(a) The General Partner shall be designated and may, on behalf of the Partnership, at any time, and without further notice to or consent from any Partner, act as the “partnership representative” of the Partnership, within the meaning given to such term in Code Section 6223 (the “Partnership Representative”) and the Partnership Representative shall be permitted to name the designated individual as described in Treasury Regulation Section 301.6223-1(b)(3) (the “Designated Individual”). The Partnership Representative and Designated Individual shall have the rights and obligations to take all actions authorized and required, respectively, by the Code and the Treasury Regulations for the Partnership Representative and Designated Individual, and each is authorized and required to represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Partnership funds for professional services reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Each Partner agrees to cooperate with the Partnership Representative and Designated Individual and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual with respect to the conduct of such proceedings. The Partnership Representative shall use reasonable efforts to (i) notify each of the other Partners promptly following receipt of any notice of tax examination of the Partnership by U.S. federal, state or local authorities, and (ii) keep all Partners informed of material developments with respect to any contacts by or discussions with the tax authorities regarding such tax examination.

(b) Each Partner agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership from and against any liability with respect to its share of any tax deficiency paid or payable by the Partnership that is allocable to the Partner with respect to an audited or reviewed taxable year for which such Partner was a partner of the Partnership (for the avoidance of doubt, including any applicable interest and penalties) (“Partnership Level Taxes”); such obligation will survive such Partner’s ceasing to be a partner of the Partnership and/or the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Partnership. In connection with any audit, examination, or other proceeding, the Partnership Representative shall use reasonable efforts to reduce the amount of any “imputed underpayment” within the meaning of Code Section 6225 (or any similar or analogous provision under state or local tax law) payable by the Partnership by taking into account the tax status of the each Partner (and its direct and indirect owners, to the extent applicable) and to take into account any such reduction pursuant to Code Section 6225(c) (or any similar or analogous provision under state or local tax law) actually obtained by reason of the tax status of such Partner (and its applicable direct and indirect owners) in determining the portion, if any, of the imputed underpayment amount allocable to such Partner.

ARTICLE X

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF UNITS

Section 10.01 Transfers by Partners. No holder of Units may Transfer any interest in any Units, except Transfers (a) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.02 or (b) approved in writing by the General Partner, which approval, if sought prior to the First Step Down Event (as defined in the Investor and Registration Rights Agreement), shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Non-Affiliated Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Transfer” shall not include an event that does not terminate the existence of such Limited Partner under applicable state law (or, in the case of a trust that is a Limited Partner, does not terminate the trusteeship of the fiduciaries under such trust with respect to all the Limited Partner Interests of such trust that is a Limited Partner).

Section 10.02 Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in Section 10.01 shall not apply to any Transfer (each, a “Permitted Transfer”) (a) by a Limited Partner to an Affiliate of such Limited Partner, (b) by any transferee pursuant to clause (a) of this sentence, JSTX or RCR to their respective direct or indirect holders of equity interests, (c) by any transferee pursuant to clause (b) of this sentence to any Affiliate of such transferee or any trust, family partnership, or family limited liability company, the sole beneficiaries, partners, or members of which are such transferee or Relatives of such transferee, (d) pursuant to an Adjustment Surrender in accordance with Section 3.03(c)(ii) or (e) pursuant to a Redemption or Direct Exchange in accordance with Article XI hereof; provided, however, that (i) the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to apply to Units after any Permitted Transfer of such Units and (ii) in the case of the foregoing clauses (a), (b), and (c), the transferees of the Units so Transferred shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, and the transferor will deliver a written notice to the Partnership and the Partners, which notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of the proposed transferee. All Permitted Transfers shall also be subject to the restrictions on the transfer of rights provided under the Investor and Registration Rights Agreement and the Certificate of Designation. In the case of a Permitted Transfer (other than a Redemption, Direct Exchange or Adjustment Surrender) by any Limited Partner (other than the Corporation) of Common Units to a transferee in accordance with this Section 10.02, such Limited Partner (or any subsequent transferee of such Limited Partner) shall be required to also transfer the Required Preferred Shares and, in the case of a Redemption, Direct Exchange or Adjustment Surrender, the Required Preferred Shares shall be cancelled. All Permitted Transfers are subject to the additional limitations set forth in Section 10.07(b).

Section 10.03 Restricted Units Legend. The Units have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, in addition to the other restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is then available. All Units issued to any Person shall bear a legend, or be evidenced by notations in a book entry system including a legend, in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS [CERTIFICATE][BOOK ENTRY] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED,

ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION UNLESS A TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS [CERTIFICATE][BOOK ENTRY] ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS (INCLUDING RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER) SET FORTH IN (1) THE AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF PV ENERGY HOLDINGS, L.P., DATED AS OF JANUARY 15, 2021, AS MAY BE AMENDED AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, (2) THE INVESTOR AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JANUARY 15, 2021, BY AND AMONG THE CORPORATION AND THE OTHER PARTIES THERETO, AND (3) THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION, AS AMENDED (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AND SHALL BE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO ANY UNITHOLDER MAKING A REQUEST THEREFOR). PV ENERGY HOLDINGS, L.P. RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED WITH RESPECT TO ANY TRANSFER. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS SHALL BE FURNISHED BY PV ENERGY HOLDINGS, L.P. TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.”

The Partnership acting in good faith may make any necessary modifications to the legend set forth in this Section 10.03 for such legends to comply with applicable Law and to achieve the purpose and intent of the transfer restrictions such Units are subject to.

Section 10.04 Transfer. Prior to Transferring any Units (other than (i) in connection with a Redemption or Direct Exchange in accordance with Article XI or (ii) pursuant to a Change of Control Transaction), the Transferring holder of Units shall cause the prospective transferee to be bound by this Agreement and any other agreements executed by the holders of Units and relating to such Units in the aggregate (collectively, the “Other Agreements”), and shall cause the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Partnership a Joinder (or other counterpart to this Agreement acceptable to the General Partner) and counterparts of any applicable Other Agreements. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement (including any prohibited indirect Transfers) (a) shall be void, and (b) the Partnership shall not record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Units as the owner of such securities for any purpose.

Section 10.05 Assignee’s Rights.

(a) The Transfer of a Limited Partner Interest in accordance with this Agreement shall be effective as of the date of its assignment (assuming compliance with all of the conditions to such Transfer set forth herein), and such Transfer shall be shown on the books and records of the Partnership. Profits, Losses and other Partnership items shall be allocated between the transferor and the Assignee according to Code Section 706, using any permissible method as determined in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner. Distributions made before the effective date of such Transfer shall be paid to the transferor, and Distributions made after such date shall be paid to the Assignee.

(b) Unless and until an Assignee becomes a Limited Partner pursuant to Article XII, the Assignee shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Limited Partner hereunder or under applicable Law, other than the rights granted specifically to Assignees pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that, without relieving the transferring Limited Partner from any such limitations or obligations as more fully described in Section 10.06, such Assignee shall be bound by any limitations and obligations of a Limited Partner contained herein that a Limited Partner would be bound on account of the Assignee’s Limited Partner Interest (including the obligation to make Capital Contributions on account of such Limited Partner Interest), including any such limitations and obligations set forth in the Investor and Registration Rights Agreement and the Certificate of Designation.

Section 10.06 Assignor’s Rights and Obligations. Any Limited Partner who shall Transfer any Limited Partner Interest in a manner in accordance with this Agreement shall cease to be a Limited Partner with respect to such Units or other interest and shall no longer have any rights or privileges, or, except as set forth in this Section 10.06, duties, liabilities or obligations, of a Limited Partner with respect to such Units or other interest (it being understood, however, that the applicable provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 7.04 shall continue to inure to such Person’s benefit), except that unless and until the Assignee (if not already a Limited Partner) is admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with the provisions of Article XII (the “Admission Date”), (i) such assigning Limited Partner shall retain all of the duties, liabilities and obligations of a Limited Partner with respect to such Units or other interest, and (ii) the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, reinstate all or any portion of the rights and privileges of such Limited Partner with respect to such Units or other interest for any period of time prior to the Admission Date. Nothing contained herein shall relieve any Limited Partner who Transfers any Units or other interest in the Partnership from any liability of such Limited Partner to the Partnership with respect to such Limited Partner Interest that may exist on the Admission Date or that is otherwise specified in the Delaware Act and incorporated into this Agreement or for any liability to the Partnership or any other Person for any materially false statement made by such Limited Partner (in its capacity as such) or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Limited Partner (in its capacity as such) contained herein or in the other agreements with the Partnership.

Section 10.07 Overriding Provisions.

(a) Any Transfer in violation of this Article X shall be null and void ab initio, and the provisions of Sections 10.05 and 10.06 shall not apply to any such Transfers. For the avoidance of doubt, any Person to whom a Transfer is made or attempted in violation of this Article X shall not become a Limited Partner, shall not be entitled to vote on any matters coming before the Limited Partners and shall not have any other rights in or with respect to any rights of a Limited Partner of the Partnership. The approval of any Transfer in any one or more instances shall not limit or waive the requirement for such approval in any other or future instance. The General Partner shall promptly amend the Schedule of Limited Partners to reflect any Permitted Transfer pursuant to this Article X.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 10.01 and Section 10.02 and Article XI and Article XII), in no event shall any Limited Partner Transfer any Units to the extent such Transfer would:

(i) result in the violation of the Securities Act, or any other applicable U.S. federal or state or non-U.S. Laws;

(ii) subject the Partnership to registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act;

(iii) in the reasonable determination of the General Partner, be a violation of or a default (or an event that, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in an acceleration of any indebtedness under, any promissory note, mortgage, loan agreement, indenture or similar instrument or agreement to which the Partnership or the General Partner is a party; provided that the payee or creditor to whom the Partnership or the General Partner owes such obligation is not an Affiliate of the Partnership or the General Partner;

(iv) be a Transfer to a Person who is not legally competent or who has not achieved his or her majority age under applicable Law (excluding trusts for the benefit of minors); or

(v) result in the Partnership having more than one hundred (100) partners, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1) (determined pursuant to the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)), or cause the Partnership to be treated as other than a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes or, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, cause the Partnership to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” or to be taxed as a corporation pursuant to Code Section 7704 and any applicable Treasury Regulations issued thereunder.

ARTICLE XI

REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS

Section 11.01 Redemption Right of a Limited Partner.

(a) Each Limited Partner (other than the Corporation) shall be entitled to cause the Partnership to redeem (a “Redemption”) all or any portion of its Common Units (the “Redemption Right”) at any time on or after the date that is 180 days after the Effective Time. A Limited Partner desiring to exercise its Redemption Right (the “Redeemed Partner”) shall exercise such right by giving written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Partnership with a copy to the Corporation (the date of the delivery of such Redemption Notice, the “Redemption Notice Date”). The Redemption Notice shall specify the number of Common Units (the “Redeemed Units”) that the Redeemed Partner intends to have the Partnership redeem. The Redemption shall be completed on the date that is three (3) Business Days following delivery of the applicable Redemption Notice, unless the Partnership elects to make the redemption payment by means of a Cash Settlement, in which case the Redemption shall be completed as promptly as practicable following delivery of the applicable Redemption Notice, but in any event, no more than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such Redemption Notice (unless and to the extent that the General Partner in its sole discretion agrees in writing to waive such time periods) (the date of such completion, the “Redemption Date”); provided, that the Partnership, the Corporation and the Redeemed Partner may change the number of Redeemed Units and/or the Redemption Date specified in such

Redemption Notice to another number and/or date by mutual agreement signed in writing by each of them; provided further, that a Redemption Notice may be conditioned on the closing of an underwritten distribution of the shares of Common Stock that may be issued in connection with such proposed Redemption. Unless the Redeemed Partner has timely delivered a Retraction Notice as provided in Section 11.01(b) or has delayed a Redemption as provided in Section 11.01(c) or the Corporation has elected to effect a Direct Exchange as provided in Section 11.03, on the Redemption Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date), (i) the Redeemed Partner shall transfer and surrender the Redeemed Units to the Partnership and the Required Preferred Shares to the Corporation, in each case free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (ii) the Partnership shall (x) cancel the Redeemed Units, (y) transfer to the Redeemed Partner the consideration to which the Redeemed Partner is entitled under Section 11.01(b), and (z) if the Units are certificated, issue to the Redeemed Partner a certificate for a number of Common Units equal to the difference (if any) between the number of Common Units evidenced by the certificate surrendered by the Redeemed Partner pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 11.01(a) and the Redeemed Units and (iii) the Corporation shall cancel such shares of Required Preferred Shares.

(b) In exchange for its Redeemed Units, a Redeemed Partner shall be entitled to receive the Share Settlement or, at the Partnership’s election, the Cash Settlement from the Partnership. Within one (1) Business Day of delivery of the Redemption Notice, the Partnership shall give written notice (the “Settlement Method Notice”) to the Redeemed Partner (with a copy to the Corporation) of its intended settlement method; provided that if the Partnership does not timely deliver a Settlement Method Notice, the Partnership shall be deemed to have elected the Share Settlement method. The Redeemed Partner may retract its Redemption Notice by giving written notice (the “Retraction Notice”) to the Partnership (with a copy to the Corporation) at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day after delivery of the Settlement Method Notice. The timely delivery of a Retraction Notice shall terminate all of the Redeemed Partner’s, the Partnership’s and the Corporation’s rights and obligations under this Section 11.01 arising from the retracted Redemption Notice without prejudice to the Redeemed Partner’s right to issue further Redemption Notices in the future.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01(b), in the event the Partnership elects a Share Settlement in connection with a Redemption, a Redeemed Partner shall be entitled, at any time prior to the consummation of a Redemption, to revoke its Redemption Notice or delay the consummation of a Redemption if any of the following conditions exists: (i) any registration statement pursuant to which the resale of the Common Stock to be registered for such Redeemed Partner at or immediately following the consummation of the Redemption shall have ceased to be effective pursuant to any action or inaction by the SEC or no such resale registration statement has yet become effective; (ii) the Corporation shall have failed to cause any related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement necessary to effect such Redemption; (iii) the Corporation shall have exercised its right to defer, delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement and such deferral, delay or suspension shall affect the ability of such Redeemed Partner to have the resale of its Common Stock registered at or immediately following the consummation of the Redemption; (iv) the Corporation shall have disclosed to such Redeemed Partner any material non-public information concerning the Corporation, the receipt of which results in such Redeemed Partner being prohibited or restricted from selling Common Stock at or immediately following the Redemption without disclosure of

such information (and the Corporation does not permit disclosure); (v) any stop order relating to the registration statement pursuant to which the Common Stock was to be registered by such Redeemed Partner at or immediately following the Redemption shall have been issued by the SEC; (vi) there shall have occurred a material disruption in the securities markets generally or in the market or markets in which the Common Stock is then traded; (vii) there shall be in effect an injunction, a restraining order or a decree of any nature of any Governmental Entity that restrains or prohibits the Redemption; (viii) the Corporation shall have failed to comply in all material respects with its obligations under the Investor and Registration Rights Agreement, and such failure shall have affected the ability of such Redeemed Partner to consummate the resale of Common Stock to be received upon such redemption pursuant to an effective registration statement; or (ix) the Redemption Date would occur three (3) Business Days or less prior to, or during, a Black-Out Period; provided further, that in no event shall the Redeemed Partner seeking to delay the consummation of such Redemption and relying on any of the matters contemplated in clauses (i) through (ix) above have controlled or intentionally materially influenced any facts, circumstances, or Persons in connection therewith (except in the good faith performance of his or her duties as an officer or director of the Corporation) in order to provide such Redeemed Partner with a basis for such delay or revocation. If a Redeemed Partner delays the consummation of a Redemption pursuant to this Section 11.01(c), the Redemption Date shall occur on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which the conditions giving rise to such delay cease to exist (or such earlier day as the Corporation, the Partnership and such Redeemed Partner may agree in writing).

(d) The amount of the Share Settlement or the Cash Settlement that a Redeemed Partner is entitled to receive under Section 11.01(b) shall not be adjusted on account of any Distributions previously made with respect to the Redeemed Units or dividends previously paid with respect to Common Stock; provided, however, that if a Redeemed Partner causes the Partnership to redeem Redeemed Units and the Redemption Date occurs subsequent to the record date for any Distribution with respect to the Redeemed Units but prior to payment of such Distribution, the Redeemed Partner shall be entitled to receive such Distribution with respect to the Redeemed Units on the date that it is made notwithstanding that the Redeemed Partner transferred and surrendered the Redeemed Units to the Partnership prior to such date.

(e) In the event of a distribution (by dividend or otherwise) by the Corporation to all holders of Common Stock of evidences of its indebtedness, securities, or other assets (including Equity Securities of the Corporation), but excluding any cash dividend or distribution of any such assets received by the Corporation in respect of its Units, then in exchange for its Redeemed Units, a Redeemed Partner shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the consideration set forth in Section 11.01(b), the amount of such security, securities or other property that the Redeemed Partner would have received if such Redemption Right had been exercised and the Redemption Date had occurred immediately prior to the record date or effective time of any such transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after such record date or effective time. For the avoidance of doubt, subsequent to any such transaction, this Article XI shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to any such security, securities or other property received by holders of Common Stock in such transaction.

(f) If a Reclassification Event occurs, the General Partner or its successor, as the case may be, shall, as and to the extent necessary, amend this Agreement in compliance with Section 16.02, and enter into any necessary supplementary or additional agreements, to ensure that, following the effective date of the Reclassification Event: (i) the rights of holders of Common Units (other than the Corporation) set forth in this Section 11.01 provide that each Common Unit is redeemable for the same amount and same type of property, securities or cash (or combination thereof) that one share of Common Stock becomes exchangeable for or converted into as a result of the Reclassification Event (taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the record date or effective time for such Reclassification Event) and (ii) the Corporation or the successor to the Corporation, as applicable, is obligated to deliver such property, securities or cash upon such redemption. The Corporation shall not consummate or agree to consummate any Reclassification Event unless the successor Person, if any, becomes obligated to comply with the obligations of the Corporation (in whatever capacity) under this Agreement.

(g) In connection with a Reclassification Event referred to in clause (b) and (c) of the definition thereof, the Corporation and the General Partner shall have the right to require each Limited Partner (other than the Corporation) to effect a Redemption of some or all of such Limited Partner’s Common Units and the Required Preferred Shares (in each case, free and clear of all liens), with such Redemption to be effective immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reclassification Event.

Section 11.02 Contribution of the Corporation. Subject to Section 11.03, in connection with the exercise of a Redeemed Partner’s Redemption Rights under Section 11.01(a), the Corporation shall contribute to the Partnership the consideration the Redeemed Partner is entitled to receive under Section 11.01(b). Unless the Redeemed Partner has timely delivered a Retraction Notice as provided in Section 11.01(b) or has delayed a Redemption as provided in Section 11.01(c), or the Corporation has elected to effect a Direct Exchange as provided in Section 11.03, on the Redemption Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date) (i) the Corporation shall make its Capital Contribution to the Partnership (in the form of the Share Settlement or the Cash Settlement, as applicable) required under this Section 11.02, and (ii) the Partnership shall issue to the Corporation a number of Common Units equal to the number of Redeemed Units surrendered by the Redeemed Partner. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Partnership elects a Cash Settlement, the Corporation shall only be obligated to contribute to the Partnership an amount in respect of such Cash Settlement equal to the net proceeds (after deduction of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions and brokers’ fees or commissions) from the sale by the Corporation of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Redeemed Units to be redeemed with such Cash Settlement; provided that the Corporation’s Capital Account shall be increased by an amount equal to any such discounts, commissions and fees relating to such sale of shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 6.05.

Section 11.03 Exchange Right of the Corporation.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XI, the Corporation may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to effect on the Redemption Date the exchange of Redeemed Units for the Share Settlement or Cash Settlement, at the Corporation’s option, through a direct exchange of such Redeemed Units and such consideration between the Redeemed Partner and the Corporation (a “Direct Exchange”). Upon such Direct Exchange pursuant to this Section 11.03, the Corporation shall acquire the Redeemed Units and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Units.

(b) The Corporation may, at any time prior to a Redemption Date, deliver written notice (an “Exchange Election Notice”) to the Partnership and the Redeemed Partner setting forth its election to exercise its right to consummate a Direct Exchange; provided that such election does not prejudice the ability of the parties to consummate a Redemption or Direct Exchange on the Redemption Date. An Exchange Election Notice may be revoked by the Corporation at any time; provided that any such revocation does not prejudice the ability of the parties to consummate a Redemption on the Redemption Date. The right to consummate a Direct Exchange in all events shall be exercisable for all the Redeemed Units that would have otherwise been subject to a Redemption. Except as otherwise provided by this Section 11.03, a Direct Exchange shall be consummated pursuant to the same timeframe and in the same manner as the relevant Redemption would have been consummated if the Corporation had not delivered an Exchange Election Notice.

Section 11.04 Reservation of Shares of Common Stock; Listing. At all times the Corporation shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon a Redemption or Direct Exchange, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon any such Redemption or Direct Exchange pursuant to Share Settlements; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Corporation from satisfying its obligations in respect of any such Redemption or Direct Exchange by delivery of purchased Common Stock (which may or may not be held in the treasury of the Corporation) or the delivery of cash pursuant to a Cash Settlement. The Corporation shall deliver Common Stock that has been registered under the Securities Act with respect to any Redemption or Direct Exchange to the extent a registration statement is effective and available for such shares. The Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to list the Common Stock required to be delivered upon any such Redemption or Direct Exchange prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange upon which the outstanding shares of Common Stock are listed at the time of such Redemption or Direct Exchange (it being understood that any such shares may be subject to transfer restrictions under applicable securities Laws). The Corporation covenants that all Common Stock issued upon a Redemption or Direct Exchange will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Section 11.05 Effect of Exercise of Redemption or Exchange Right. This Agreement shall continue notwithstanding the consummation of a Redemption or Direct Exchange and all governance or other rights set forth herein shall be exercised by the remaining Partners and the Redeemed Partner (to the extent of such Redeemed Partner’s remaining interest in the Partnership). No Redemption or Direct Exchange shall relieve such Redeemed Partner of any prior breach of this Agreement.

Section 11.06 Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that a Redemption or a Direct Exchange, as the case may be, shall be treated as a direct exchange between the Corporation and the Redeemed Partner for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes. The issuance of shares of Common Stock or other securities upon a Redemption or Direct Exchange shall be made without charge to the Redeemed Partner for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance.

Section 11.07 No Restrictions. Except for the lock-up period described in Section 11.01(a), there are no limitations on the Redemption Right of any Redeemed Partner and this Agreement does not contractually restrict the ability of any Limited Partner or the Affiliates of such Limited Partner to transfer its or their Common Stock.

ARTICLE XII

ADMISSION OF LIMITED PARTNERS

Section 12.01 Substituted Limited Partners. Subject to the provisions of Article X, in connection with the Permitted Transfer of a Limited Partner Interest hereunder, the transferee shall become a Substituted Limited Partner on the effective date of such Transfer, which effective date shall not be earlier than the date of compliance with the conditions to such Transfer, and such admission shall be shown on the books and records of the Partnership.

Section 12.02 Additional Limited Partners. Subject to the provisions of Article III and Article X, any Person may be admitted to the Partnership as an additional Limited Partner (any such Person, an “Additional Limited Partner”) only upon furnishing to the General Partner (a) a Joinder (or other counterpart to this Agreement acceptable to the General Partner) and counterparts of any applicable Other Agreements and (b) such other documents or instruments as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect such Person’s admission as a Limited Partner (including entering into such documents as the General Partner may deem appropriate in its reasonable discretion). Such admission shall become effective on the date on which the General Partner determines in its reasonable discretion that such conditions have been satisfied and when any such admission is shown on the books and records of the Partnership.

ARTICLE XIII

WITHDRAWAL AND RESIGNATION; TERMINATION OF RIGHTS

Section 13.01 Withdrawal and Resignation of Limited Partners. No Limited Partner shall have the power or right to withdraw or otherwise resign as a Limited Partner from the Partnership prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership pursuant to Article XIV. Any Limited Partner, however, that attempts to withdraw or otherwise resign as a Limited Partner from the Partnership without the prior written consent of the General Partner upon or following the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership pursuant to Article XIV, but prior to such Limited Partner receiving the full amount of Distributions from the Partnership to which such Limited Partner is entitled pursuant to Article XIV, shall be liable to the Partnership for all damages (including all lost profits and special, indirect and consequential damages) directly or indirectly caused by the withdrawal or resignation of such Partner. Upon a Transfer of all of a Limited Partner’s Units in a Transfer permitted by this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 10.06, such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Partner.

ARTICLE XIV

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

Section 14.01 Dissolution. The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Limited Partners or Substituted Limited Partners or the attempted withdrawal or resignation of a Partner. The Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon:

(a) the unanimous decision of the General Partner together with all the Partners to dissolve the Partnership;

(b) a Change of Control Transaction that is not approved by the Majority Partners;

(d) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership under Section 17-802 of the Delaware Act.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Article XIV, the Partnership is intended to have perpetual existence. An Event of Withdrawal shall not cause a dissolution of the Partnership and the Partnership shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 14.02 Liquidation and Termination. On dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more Persons as liquidator. The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Delaware Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Partnership expense. Until final distribution, the liquidators shall continue to operate the Partnership properties with all of the power and authority of the General Partner. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidators are as follows:

(a) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidators shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Partnership’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

(b) the liquidators shall cause notice of liquidation to be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against the Partnership;

(c) the liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Partnership funds, or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine): first, all expenses incurred in liquidation; and second, all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership; and

(d) all remaining assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 4.01 by the end of the Taxable Year during which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs (or, if later, by ninety (90) days after the date of the liquidation). The distribution of cash and/or property to the Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.02 and Section 14.03 below constitutes a complete return to the Partners of their Capital

Contributions, a complete distribution to the Partners of their interest in the Partnership and all the Partnership’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Partners have consented within the meaning of the Delaware Act. To the extent that a Partner returns funds to the Partnership, it has no claim against any other Partner for those funds.

Section 14.03 Deferment; Distribution in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.02, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if upon dissolution of the Partnership the liquidators determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss (or would otherwise not be beneficial) to the Partners, the liquidators may, in their sole discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Partnership liabilities (other than loans to the Partnership by Partners) and reserves. Subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 14.02, the liquidators may, in their sole discretion, distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, either (a) all or any portion of such remaining Partnership assets in-kind in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.02(d), (b) as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.02(d), undivided interests in all or any portion of such Partnership assets or (c) a combination of the foregoing. Any such Distributions in kind shall be subject to (x) such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such assets as the liquidators deem reasonable and equitable and (y) the terms and conditions of any agreements governing such assets (or the operation thereof or the holders thereof) at such time. Any Partnership assets distributed in kind will first be written up or down to their Fair Market Value, thus creating Profit or Loss (if any), which shall be allocated in accordance with Article V. The liquidators shall determine the Fair Market Value of any property distributed in accordance with the valuation procedures set forth in Article XV.

Section 14.04 Cancellation of Certificate. On completion of the distribution of Partnership assets as provided herein, the Partnership is terminated (and the Partnership shall not be terminated prior to such time), and the General Partner (or such other Person or Persons as the Delaware Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to this Agreement that are or should be canceled and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership. The Partnership shall be deemed to continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement until it is terminated pursuant to this Section 14.04.

Section 14.05 Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Sections 14.02 and 14.03 in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.

Section 14.06 Return of Capital. The liquidators shall not be personally liable for the return of Capital Contributions or any portion thereof to the Partners (it being understood that any such return shall be made solely from Partnership assets).

ARTICLE XV

VALUATION

Section 15.01 Determination. “Fair Market Value” of a specific Partnership asset will mean the amount which the Partnership would receive in an all-cash sale of such asset in an arms-

length transaction with a willing unaffiliated third party, with neither party having any compulsion to buy or sell, consummated on the day immediately preceding the date on which the event occurred which necessitated the determination of the Fair Market Value (and after giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale), as such amount is determined by the General Partner (or, if pursuant to Section 14.02, the liquidators) in its good faith judgment using all factors, information and data it deems to be pertinent.

Section 15.02 Dispute Resolution. If any Limited Partner or Limited Partners dispute the accuracy of any determination of Fair Market Value in accordance with Section 15.01, and the General Partner and such Limited Partner(s) are unable to agree on the determination of the Fair Market Value of any asset of the Partnership, the General Partner (with the approval of a majority of the Non-Affiliated Directors) and such Limited Partner(s) shall each select a nationally recognized investment banking firm experienced in valuing securities of closely-held companies such as the Partnership in the Partnership’s industry (the “Appraisers”), who shall each determine the Fair Market Value of the asset or the Partnership (as applicable) in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.01. The Appraisers shall be instructed to give written notice of their determination of the Fair Market Value of the asset or the Partnership (as applicable) within thirty (30) days of their appointment as Appraisers. If Fair Market Value as determined by an Appraiser is higher than Fair Market Value as determined by the other Appraiser by 10% or more, and the General Partner and such Limited Partner(s) do not otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value, the original Appraisers shall designate a third Appraiser meeting the same criteria used to select the original two, and the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the Fair Market Values determined by all three Appraisers, unless the General Partner and such Limited Partner(s) otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value. If Fair Market Value as determined by an Appraiser is within 10% of the Fair Market Value as determined by the other Appraiser (but not identical), and the General Partner and such Limited Partner(s) do not otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value, the General Partner shall select the Fair Market Value of one of the Appraisers. The fees and expenses of the Appraisers shall be borne by the Partnership.

ARTICLE XVI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 16.01 Power of Attorney.

(a) Each Limited Partner who is an individual hereby constitutes and appoints the General Partner (or the liquidator, if applicable) with full power of substitution, as his or her true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in his, her or its name, place and stead, to:

(i) execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record in the appropriate public offices (A) this Agreement, all certificates and other instruments and all amendments thereof which the General Partner deems appropriate or necessary to form, qualify, or continue the qualification of, the Partnership as a limited partnership in the State of Delaware and in all other jurisdictions in which the Partnership may conduct business or own property; (B) all instruments which the General Partner deems appropriate or necessary to reflect any amendment, change, modification or restatement of this Agreement in accordance with its terms; (C) all conveyances and other instruments or documents

which the General Partner deems appropriate or necessary to reflect the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including a certificate of cancellation; and (D) all instruments relating to the admission, withdrawal or substitution of any Partner pursuant to Article XII or Article XIII; and

(ii) sign, execute, swear to and acknowledge all ballots, consents, approvals, waivers, certificates and other instruments appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the General Partner, to evidence, confirm or ratify any vote, consent, approval, agreement or other action which is made or given by the Partners hereunder or is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in the reasonable judgment of the General Partner, to effectuate the terms of this Agreement.

(b) The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall survive the death, disability, incapacity, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or termination of any Limited Partner who is an individual and the transfer of all or any portion of his, her or its Limited Partner Interest and shall extend to such Limited Partner’s heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives.

Section 16.02 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified solely by the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification (a) to this Section 16.02 or to Article XI (whether directly to Article XI or to any other provision of this Agreement that indirectly affects the rights and obligations in Article XI as of the date hereof) may be made without the prior written consent of each of the Partners (and with respect to the written consent of the Corporation in its capacity as a Partner sought prior to the First Step Down Event (as defined in the Investor and Registration Rights Agreement), only to the extent such amendment or modification is approved by a majority of the Non-Affiliated Directors), (b) that modifies the limited liability of any Partner, or increases the liabilities or obligations of any Partner, in each case, may be made without the consent of each such affected Partner, (c) that materially alters or changes any rights, preferences or privileges of any Limited Partner Interests in a manner that is different or prejudicial relative to any other Limited Partner Interests, may be made without the approval of a majority in interest of the Partners holding the Limited Partner Interests affected in such a different or prejudicial manner (excluding any such Limited Partner Interests held by the General Partner or any affiliates controlled by the General Partner); provided, clause (a) above will apply independent of this clause (c), (d) that materially alters or changes any rights, preferences or privileges of a holder of any class of Limited Partner Interests in a manner that is different or prejudicial relative to any other holder of the same class of Limited Partner Interests, may be made without the approval of the holder of Limited Partner Interests affected in such a different or prejudicial manner; provided, clause (a) above will apply independent of this clause (d), and (e) to any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement which terms and conditions expressly require the approval or action of certain Persons may be made without obtaining the consent of the requisite number or specified percentage of such Persons who are entitled to approve or take action on such matter; provided, that the General Partner, acting alone, may amend this Agreement to reflect (i) the surrender of Common Units in the event of an Adjustment Surrender and (ii) the issuance of additional Units or Equity Securities in accordance with Section 3.04 or as contemplated by Section 3.03(c)(ii).

Section 16.03 Title to Partnership Assets. Partnership assets shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion thereof. The Partnership shall hold title to all of its property in the name of the Partnership and not in the name of any Partner. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership on its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Partnership assets is held. The Partnership’s credit and assets shall be used solely for the benefit of the Partnership, and no asset of the Partnership shall be transferred or encumbered for, or in payment of, any individual obligation of any Partner.

Section 16.04 Addresses and Notices. Any notice provided for in this Agreement will be in writing and will be either personally delivered, or received by certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) to the Partnership at the address set forth below and to any other recipient and to any Partner at such address as indicated by the Partnership’s records, or at such address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party.

Section 16.05 Binding Effect; Intended Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

Section 16.06 Creditors. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditors of the Partnership or any of its Affiliates, and no creditor who makes a loan to the Partnership or any of its Affiliates may have or acquire (except pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement executed by the Partnership in favor of such creditor) at any time as a result of making the loan any direct or indirect interest in Partnership Profits, Losses, Distributions, capital or property other than as a secured creditor.

Section 16.07 Waiver. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition.

Section 16.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement binding on all the parties hereto.

Section 16.09 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Any dispute relating hereto shall be heard in the state or federal courts of the State of Delaware, and the parties agree to jurisdiction and venue therein.

Section 16.10 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

Section 16.11 Further Action. The parties shall execute and deliver all documents, provide all information and take or refrain from taking such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 16.12 Delivery by Electronic Transmission.

At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any

such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of electronic transmission by a facsimile machine or via email to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through such electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

Section 16.13 Right of Offset. Whenever the Partnership is to pay any sum (other than pursuant to Article IV) to any Partner, any amounts that such Partner owes to the Partnership which are not the subject of a good faith dispute may be deducted from that sum before payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the distribution of Units to the Corporation shall not be subject to this Section 16.13.

Section 16.14 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be effective immediately upon the Closing (the “Effective Time”). The Initial Limited Partnership Agreement shall govern the rights and obligations of the Partnership and the other parties to this Agreement in their capacity as Partners prior to the Effective Time.

To the extent any Limited Partner is not a party to the Investor and Registration Rights Agreement or such Investor and Registration Rights Agreement shall no longer be effective, each Partner agrees to execute a confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality provisions that are no more onerous to the recipient of information than those in Section 3.07 (Confidentiality) of the Investor and Registration Rights Agreement, including in connection with, and as a condition to, any Transfer contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 16.16 Corporate Expense Reimbursement.

(a) The Limited Partners acknowledge and agree that (x) all services, work, actions, activities and omissions of the directors, officers, managers, employees, consultants, independent contractors, advisors and other service providers of the Corporation (the “Services Personnel”) and (y) the performance of all obligations pursuant to the terms of any contracts, agreements, leases, subleases, licenses, sublicenses, purchase orders, indentures, notes, bonds, operating agreements, subscriptions, insurance policies, and all other arrangements or undertakings that are binding on the Corporation (collectively, the “Services”), in each case, are for the benefit of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Partnership shall reimburse the Corporation for all costs, expenses, taxes, liabilities, obligations and expenditures incurred by the Corporation in connection with the provision of the Services, including but not limited, to (the “Reimbursable Expenses”):

(i) salaries, wages, fees, commissions, bonuses and other compensation and all employment benefits, perquisites and expenses of the Services Personnel (including any payroll taxes), plus general and administrative expenses to the extent associated with the Services Personnel (including the cost of workers’ compensation coverage, unemployment insurance and any other work-related insurance related coverages with respect to periods in which the Services Personnel are providing the Services); provided, however, that Reimbursable Expenses shall not include any equity-based compensation, which is addressed in Section 3.04(a) and Section 3.10;

(ii) any payments or expenses incurred for insurance coverage, including allocable portions of premiums, and negotiated instruments (including surety bonds and performance bonds) provided by underwriters with respect to the assets or the business of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, including the Partnership;

(iii) any taxes directly relating to the performance of the Services or receipt of payments under this Agreement and other direct operating expenses paid by the Corporation for the benefit of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries; and

(iv) any interest, penalties, and other payments required in the performance of the Services.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall be liable for any and all Reimbursable Expenses, whether they arise, relate to, or otherwise occur prior to, on or after the date of this Agreement, including periods prior to the formation of the Partnership.

(b) Reimbursable Expenses shall be for actual costs incurred by the Corporation and shall be charged to the Partnership “at cost” without mark-up or premium. The Partnership shall pay or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Corporation, all Reimbursable Expenses. The Partnership shall also promptly reimburse the Corporation for any Reimbursable Expenses paid by the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, any Reimbursable Expenses, paid by, caused to be paid by or reimbursed by the Partnership on behalf of or to the Corporation shall not be a Distribution under this Agreement. Payments of Reimbursable Expenses shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(c) The Partnership shall, in its sole discretion, have the authority to make all employment-related decisions with respect to the Service Personnel in connection with their provision of Services hereunder (the “Partnership Directives”), including (i) directing the general scope, manner and method of activities that the Service Providers will perform on behalf of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, (ii) directing and managing the Service Personnel in connection with such Services, (iii) setting policies and procedures and codes of conduct applicable with respect to the Service Personnel in connection with the provision of the Services, to the extent such policies and procedures are not already maintained by the Corporation, and (iv) requesting that the Corporation terminate any particular Service Personnel’s Services hereunder (in which case the Corporation shall terminate the employment or service of such Service Personnel within five Business Days following receipt of such request (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall reimburse the Corporation as a Reimbursable Expense for any and all termination or severance obligations and any other costs or liabilities (other than equity-based compensation) incurred by the Corporation or related to such Service Personnel’s termination)).

(d) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, in no event shall the Corporation have any liability or obligation under any provision of this Agreement, including any liability or obligation for consequential or other indirect damages, including for any loss of profits, revenue, business reputation or opportunity, any diminution of value, or any damages (each of which is hereby disclaimed), arising from or related to the Service Personnel, Partnership Directives, the Services provided hereunder or otherwise under this Agreement, and the Partnership shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Corporation from any and all liabilities

and obligations that arise from or are related to the Service Personnel, Partnership Directives, the Services or to any actions or omissions of the Partnership in connection with the Services provided hereunder (including any action or omission by the Corporation at the direction of the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement). The Corporation does not guarantee or warrant the Services to be provided hereunder, the Services shall be provided on an “as is” and “with all faults” basis and there are no, and the Partnership is not relying on any, express or implied warranties or guarantees of any kind, including any warranty of merchantability, non-infringement or fitness for a particular purpose, and all such warranties not expressly set forth herein are expressly disclaimed.

Section 16.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and those documents expressly referred to herein (including the Investor and Registration Rights Agreement, the Asset Contribution Agreement and the Contribution Agreement) embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. For the avoidance of doubt, the Initial Limited Partnership Agreement is superseded by this Agreement as of the Effective Time and shall be of no further force and effect thereafter.

Section 16.18 Remedies. Each Partner shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and all rights and remedies which such Person has been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such Person has under any Law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereby shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by Law.

Section 16.19 Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation. Reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if applicable hereof. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, no amendment or other modification to any agreement, document or instrument that requires the consent of any Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement will be given effect hereunder unless such Person has consented in writing to such amendment or modification. Wherever required by the context, references to a Fiscal Year shall refer to a portion thereof. The use of the words “or,” “either” and “any” shall not be exclusive. The serial comma is sometimes included and sometimes omitted. Its inclusion or omission shall not affect the interpretation of any phrase. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Wherever a conflict exists between this Agreement and any other agreement, this Agreement shall control but solely to the extent of such conflict.
