 General Partner or his or her death, resignation or removal from office, whichever occurs first. Vacancies on the board of directors may be filled and additional directors may be added by a resolution of our General Partner’s shareholders or a vote of the directors then in office. A director may be removed from office by a resolution duly passed by our General Partner’s shareholders or, if the director has been absent without leave from three consecutive meetings of the board of directors, by a written resolution requesting resignation signed by all other directors then holding office. A director will be automatically removed from the board of directors if he or she becomes bankrupt, insolvent or suspends payments to his or her creditors or becomes prohibited by law from acting as a director.

Term Limits and Board Renewal

Our nominating and governance committee reviews and assesses the qualifications of candidates to join our board with the goal, among other things, of reflecting a balance between the experience that comes with longevity of service on our board and the need for renewal and fresh perspectives.

Our General Partner’s board of directors does not have a mandatory age for the retirement of directors and there are no term limits nor any other mechanisms in place that operate to compel board turnover. While we believe that mandatory retirement ages, director term limits and other board turnover mechanisms are overly prescriptive, periodically adding new voices to our board can help us adapt to a changing business environment.

As such, the nominating and governance committee reviews the composition of our board on a regular basis in relation to approved director criteria and skill requirements and recommends

changes as appropriate.

Board of Directors, Committees and Director Evaluation

Our General Partner’s board of directors believes that a regular and formal process of evaluation improves the performance of our board as a whole, its committees and individual directors. Each year, a survey is sent to directors regarding the effectiveness of our board and its committees, inviting comments and suggestions on areas for improvement. The results of this survey are reviewed by the nominating and governance committee, which makes recommendations to our General Partner’s board of directors as required. Each director also receives a list of questions for completing a self-assessment. The chair of our General Partner’s board of directors also holds private interviews with each director annually to discuss the operations of our General Partner’s board of directors and its committees and to provide any feedback on the individual director’s contributions.

Action by the Board of Directors

Our General Partner’s board of directors may take action in a duly convened meeting at which a quorum is present or by a written
