Section 3. Administration.

the Plan and applicable law, and in addition to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Committee by the Plan, the Committee shall have full power and authority to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or
types of Awards to be granted to a Participant; (iii) determine the number of Units to be covered by Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award, consistent with the terms of the Plan, which terms may include any provision
regarding the acceleration of vesting or waiver of forfeiture restrictions or any other condition or limitation regarding an Award, based on such factors as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion; (v) determine whether, to what
extent, and under what circumstances Awards may be vested, settled, exercised, canceled, or forfeited; (vi) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to an Award made under the Plan; (vii) establish, amend,
suspend, or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and (viii) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or
desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or an Award Agreement in such manner and to such extent as the Committee deems necessary or
appropriate. The determinations of the Committee on the matters referred to in this Section 3(a) shall be final and conclusive. 
 (b)
Manner and Exercise of Committee Authority. At any time that a member of the Committee is not a Qualified Member, any action of the Committee relating to an Award granted or to be granted to a Participant who is then subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Partnership may be taken either (i) by a subcommittee, designated by the Committee, composed solely of two or more Qualified Members, or (ii) by the Committee but with each such member
who is not a Qualified Member abstaining or recusing himself or herself from such action; provided, however, that upon such abstention or recusal the Committee remains composed solely of two or more Qualified Members. Such action,
authorized by such a subcommittee or by the Committee upon the abstention or recusal of such non-Qualified Member(s), shall be the action of the Committee for all purposes of the 

  
 4 







 
Plan. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within the
sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons, including, without limitation, the General Partner, the Partnership, any Affiliate, any Participant, and any beneficiary of a
Participant. The express grant of any specific power to the Committee, and the taking of any action by the Committee, shall not be construed as limiting the power or authority of the Committee. Subject to the Plan and any applicable law, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may delegate any or all of its powers and duties under the Plan, including the power to grant Awards under the Plan, to the Chief Executive Officer of the General Partner, subject to such limitations on such
delegated powers and duties as the Committee may impose, if any, and provided that the Committee may not delegate its duties where such delegation would violate state corporate law, or with respect to making Awards to, or otherwise with respect to
Awards granted to, Participants who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Upon any such delegation, all references in the Plan to the “Committee,” other than in Section 7, shall be deemed to include the Chief
Executive Officer. Any such delegation shall not limit the Chief Executive Officer’s right to receive Awards under the Plan; provided, however, the Chief Executive Officer may not grant Awards to himself, a Director or any
executive officer of the General Partner or an Affiliate, or take any action with respect to any Award previously granted to himself, an individual who is an executive officer or a Director. Under no circumstances shall any such delegation result in
the loss of an exemption under Rule 16b-3(d)(1) for Awards granted to Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Partnership. 

(c) Limitation of Liability. The Committee and each member thereof shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or
other information furnished to him or her by any officer or employee of the General Partner, the Partnership or their Affiliates, the General Partner’s or the Partnership’s legal counsel, independent auditors, consultants or any other
agents assisting in the administration of the Plan. Members of the Committee and any officer or employee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee shall not be personally
liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to this Plan, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the General Partner with respect to any such action or
determination. 
 (d) Exemptions from Section 16(b) Liability. It is the intent of the General Partner that the grant of any
Awards to, or other transaction by, a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 or another applicable exemption (except for transactions
acknowledged by the Participant in writing to be non-exempt). Accordingly, if any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or such other exemption as then applicable to any such transaction,
such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that such Participant shall avoid liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. 

Section 4. Units. 

(a) Limits on Units Deliverable. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c) and Section 7, the number of Units that may
be delivered with respect to Awards under the Plan is 4,500,000. Units withheld from an Award or surrendered by a Participant to satisfy the Partnership’s or an Affiliate’s tax withholding obligations (including the withholding of Units
with respect to Restricted Units) or to satisfy the payment of any exercise price with respect to the Award shall not be considered to be Units delivered under the Plan for this purpose. If any Award is forfeited, cancelled, exercised, settled in
cash, or otherwise terminates or expires without the actual delivery of Units pursuant to such Award (the grant 

  
 5 







 
of Restricted Units is not a delivery of Units for this purpose), the Units subject to such Award shall again be available for Awards under the Plan (including Units not delivered in connection
with the exercise of an Option or Unit Appreciation Right). There shall not be any limitation on the number of Awards that may be granted and paid in cash. 

(b) Sources of Units Deliverable Under Awards. Any Units delivered pursuant to an Award shall consist, in whole or in part, of Units
acquired in the open market, from any Affiliate, the Partnership or any other Person, or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. 

(c) Anti-dilution Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 7, with respect to any “equity
restructuring” event that could result in an additional compensation expense to the General Partner or the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 718 if adjustments to Awards with respect to such
event were discretionary, the Committee shall equitably adjust the number and type of Units covered by each outstanding Award and the terms and conditions, including the exercise price and performance criteria (if any), of such Award to equitably
reflect such restructuring event and shall adjust the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted after such event. With respect to any other similar event that would not result in an
accounting charge under FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 718 if the adjustment to Awards with respect to such event were subject to discretionary action, the Committee shall have complete discretion to adjust Awards in such manner as it
deems appropriate with respect to such other event. In the event the Committee makes any adjustment pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(c), the Committee shall make a corresponding and proportionate adjustment with respect to
the maximum number of Units that may be delivered with respect to Awards under the Plan as provided in Section 4(a) and the kind of Units or other securities available for grant under the Plan. 

(d) Additional Issuances. Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, the issuance by the General Partner or the Partnership of Units for
cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, or upon the conversion of Units or obligations of the General Partner or the Partnership convertible into such Units, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Units subject to Awards theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan. 

Section 5. Eligibility. Any Employee, Consultant or Director shall be eligible to be designated a Participant and receive
an Award under the Plan. If the Units issuable pursuant to an Award are intended to be registered with the SEC on Form S-8, then only Employees, Consultants, and Directors of the Partnership or a parent or subsidiary of the Partnership (within the
meaning of General Instruction A.1(a) to Form S-8) will be eligible to receive such an Award. 
 Section 6.
Awards. 
 (a) General. Awards may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6. In
addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter (subject to Section 7(a)), such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee
shall determine, including terms requiring forfeiture of Awards in the event of termination of employment by the Participant, or termination of the Participant’s service relationship with the General Partner, the Partnership, or their
Affiliates, and terms permitting a Participant to make elections relating to his or her Award. The Committee shall retain full power and discretion to accelerate, waive or modify, at any time, any term or condition of an Award that is not


  
 6 







 
mandatory under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee shall not have any discretion to accelerate the terms of payment of any Award that provides for a deferral of
compensation under Section 409A the Code and the 409A Regulations if such acceleration would subject a Participant to additional taxes under Section 409A the Code and the 409A Regulations. 

(b) Options. The Committee may grant Options that are intended to comply with Section 1.409A-l(b)(5)(i)(A) of the 409A Regulations
only to Employees, Consultants or Directors performing services on the date of grant for the Partnership or a corporation or other type of entity in a chain of corporations or other entities in which each corporation or other entity has a
“controlling interest” in another corporation or entity in the chain, starting with the Partnership and ending with the corporation or other entity for which the Employee, Consultant or Director performs services. For purposes of this
Section 6(b), “controlling interest” means (i) in the case of a corporation, ownership of stock possessing at least 50% of total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such corporation entitled to vote or at least 50%
of the total value of shares of all classes of stock of such corporation; (ii) in the case of a partnership, ownership of at least 50% of the profits interest or capital interest of such partnership; (iii) in the case of a sole
proprietorship, ownership of the sole proprietorship; or (iv) in the case of a trust or estate, ownership of an actuarial interest (as defined in Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(ii) of the 409A Regulations) of at least 50% of such trust or
estate. The Committee may grant Options that are otherwise exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code to any eligible Employee, Consultant or Director. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the number of Units to be
covered by each Option, the purchase price therefore and the Restricted Period and other conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option, including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, as
the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. 
 (i) Exercise Price. The
exercise price per Unit purchasable under an Option that does not provide for the deferral of compensation under the 409A Regulations shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted but, except with respect to Substitute
Awards, may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of the date of grant of the Option. For purposes of this Section 6(b)(i), the Fair Market Value of a Unit shall be determined as of the date of grant. The exercise price per Unit
purchasable under an Option that does not provide for the deferral of compensation by reason of satisfying the short-term deferral rule set forth in the 409A Regulations or that is compliant with Section 409A of the Code shall be determined by
the Committee at the time the Option is granted. 
 (ii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine
the exercise terms and the Restricted Period with respect to an Option grant, which may include, without limitation, a provision for accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals or other events, and the method or methods
by which payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made, which may include, without limitation, cash, check acceptable to the General Partner, withholding Units from an Award, a “cashless-broker”
exercise through procedures approved by the General Partner, or any combination of the above methods, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price. 

(iii) Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the Award Agreement, upon termination of a
Participant’s employment or service to the General Partner and its Affiliates or membership on the Board or the board of directors of an Affiliate, whichever is applicable, for any reason during the applicable Restricted Period, all unvested
Options shall be forfeited by the Participant. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to a Participant’s Options; provided that the waiver contemplated under this
Section 6(b)(iii) shall be effective only to the extent that such waiver will not cause the Participant’s Options that are designed to satisfy Section 409A of the Code to fail to satisfy such Section. 

  
 7 







 (c) Unit Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant Unit Appreciation Rights that are
intended to comply with Section 1.409A-l(b)(5)(i)(B) of the 409A Regulations only to Employees, Consultants or Directors performing services on the date of grant for the Partnership or a corporation or other type of entity in a chain of
corporations or other entities in which each corporation or other entity has a “controlling interest” in another corporation or entity in the chain, starting with the Partnership and ending with the corporation or other entity for which
the Employee, Consultant or Director performs services. For purposes of this Section 6(c), “controlling interest” means (i) in the case of a corporation, ownership of stock possessing at least 50% of total combined voting power
of all classes of stock of such corporation entitled to vote or at least 50% of the total value of shares of all classes of stock of such corporation; (ii) in the case of a partnership, ownership of at least 50% of the profits interest or
capital interest of such partnership; (iii) in the case of a sole proprietorship, ownership of the sole proprietorship; or (iv) in the case of a trust or estate, ownership of an actuarial interest (as defined in
Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(ii) of the 409A Regulations) of at least 50% of such trust or estate. The Committee may grant Unit Appreciation Rights that are otherwise exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code to any eligible
Employee, Consultant or Director. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Unit Appreciation Rights shall be granted, the number of Units to be covered by each grant, whether Units or cash
shall be delivered upon exercise, the exercise price therefor and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Unit Appreciation Rights, including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions as the
Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. 
 (i) Exercise Price. The
exercise price per Unit Appreciation Right that does not provide for the deferral of compensation under the 409A Regulations shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Unit Appreciation Right is granted but, except with respect to
Substitute Awards, may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of the date of grant of the Unit Appreciation Right. For purposes of this Section 6(c)(i), the Fair Market Value of a Unit shall be determined as of the date of grant.
The exercise price per Unit Appreciation Right that does not provide for the deferral of compensation by reason of satisfying the short-term deferral rule set forth in the 409A Regulations or that is compliant with Section 409A of the Code
shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Unit Appreciation Right is granted. 
 (ii) Time of Exercise. The
Committee shall determine the Restricted Period and the time or times at which a Unit Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part, which may include, without limitation, accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance
goals or other events. 
 (iii) Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the Award Agreement, upon
termination of a Participant’s employment with or service to the General Partner, the Partnership and their Affiliates or membership on the Board or the board of directors of an Affiliate, whichever is applicable, for any reason during the
applicable Restricted Period, all outstanding Unit Appreciation Rights awarded to the Participant shall be automatically forfeited on such termination. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to a
Participant’s Unit Appreciation Rights. 

  
 8 







 (d) Restricted Units and Phantom Units. The Committee shall have the authority to
determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Restricted Units or Phantom Units shall be granted, the number of Restricted Units or Phantom Units to be granted to each such Participant, the Restricted Period, the conditions under which
the Restricted Units or Phantom Units may become vested or forfeited and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such Awards. 

(i) UDRs. To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, a grant of Restricted Units may provide that the
distributions made by the Partnership with respect to the Restricted Units shall be subject to the same forfeiture and other restrictions as the Restricted Unit and, if restricted, such distributions shall be held, without interest, until the
Restricted Unit vests or is forfeited with the UDR being paid or forfeited at the same time, as the case may be. In addition, the Committee may provide that such distributions be used to acquire additional Restricted Units for the Participant. Such
additional Restricted Units may be subject to such vesting and other terms as the Committee may prescribe. Absent such a restriction on the UDRs in the Award Agreement, UDRs shall be paid to the holder of the Restricted Unit without restriction at
the same time as cash distributions are paid by the Partnership to its unitholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, UDRs shall only be paid in a manner that is either exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. 

(ii) Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, upon termination of a
Participant’s employment with or services to the General Partner and its Affiliates or membership on the Board or the board of directors of an Affiliate, whichever is applicable, for any reason during the applicable Restricted Period, all
outstanding, unvested Restricted Units and Phantom Units awarded to the Participant shall be automatically forfeited on such termination. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to a
Participant’s Restricted Units and/or Phantom Units; provided that the waiver contemplated under this Section 6(d)(ii) shall be effective only to the extent that such waiver will not cause the Participant’s Restricted Units
and/or Phantom Units that are designed to satisfy Section 409A of the Code to fail to satisfy such Section. 
 (iii)
Lapse of Restrictions. 
 (A) Phantom Units. No later than the
70th calendar day following the vesting of each Phantom Unit that is not granted as a Performance Award, subject to the provisions of Section 8(b), the Participant shall be entitled to
settlement of such Phantom Unit and shall receive one Unit or an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a Unit (for purposes of this Section 6(f)(iii), as calculated on the last day of the Restricted Period), as determined by the
Committee in its discretion. 
 (B) Restricted Units. Upon the vesting of each Restricted Unit, subject to satisfying
the tax withholding obligations of Section 8(b), the Participant shall be entitled to have the restrictions removed from his or her Award so that the Participant then holds an unrestricted Unit. 

(e) Unit Awards. The Committee shall have the authority to grant a Unit Award under the Plan to any Employee, Consultant or Director in
a number determined by the Committee in its discretion, as a bonus or additional compensation or in lieu of cash compensation the individual is otherwise entitled to receive, in such amounts as the Committee determines to be appropriate. 

  
 9 







 (f) Other Unit Based Awards. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under
applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Units, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes
of this Plan, including, without limitation, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Units, purchase rights for Units, Awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Partnership or
any other factors designated by the Committee, and Awards valued by reference to the book value of Units or the value of securities of or the performance of specified Affiliates of the General Partner or the Partnership. The Committee shall
determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Units delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 6(f) shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in
such forms, including, without limitation, cash, Units, other Awards, or other property, as the Committee shall determine. Cash awards, as an element of or supplement to, or independent of any other Award under this Plan, may also be granted
pursuant to this Section 6(f). 
 (g) DERs. To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, an Award (other than a
Restricted Unit or Unit Award) may include a tandem DER grant, which may provide that such DERs shall be paid directly to the Participant, be reinvested into additional Awards, be credited to a bookkeeping account (with or without interest in the
discretion of the Committee) subject to the same vesting restrictions as the tandem Award, or be subject to such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion. Absent a contrary provision in the Award Agreement,
DERs shall be paid to the Participant without restriction at the same time as ordinary cash distributions are paid by the Partnership to its unitholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DERs shall only be paid in a manner that is either exempt from
or in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. 
 (h) Substitute Awards. Awards may be granted under the Plan in substitution
for similar awards held by individuals who become Employees, Consultants or Directors as a result of a merger, consolidation or acquisition by the Partnership or an Affiliate of another entity or the assets of another entity. Such Substitute Awards
that are Options or Unit Appreciation Rights may have exercise prices less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the date of the substitution if such substitution complies with Section 409A of the Code and the 409A Regulations and other
applicable laws and exchange rules. 
 (i) Performance Awards. The right of a Participant to receive a grant, and the right of a
Participant to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any Award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such performance conditions as may be specified by the Committee. The Committee may use such business criteria and other measures of
performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions, and may exercise its discretion to reduce or increase the amounts payable under any Award subject to performance conditions. 

(i) Performance Goals Generally. The performance goals for such Performance Awards shall consist of one or more business
criteria or individual performance criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each of such criteria, as specified by the Committee consistent with this Section 6(i). The Committee may determine that such Performance
Awards shall be granted, exercised, and/or settled upon achievement of any one performance goal or that two or more of the performance goals must be achieved as a condition to grant, exercise and/or settlement of such Performance Awards. The
Committee shall establish any such performance conditions and goals based on one or more business criteria for the General Partner and/or the Partnership, on a consolidated basis, and/or for specified Affiliates or business or geographical units of
the Partnership, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, which 

  
 10 







 
may include (but are not limited to) one or more of the following: (A) earnings per Unit; (B) revenues; (C) cash flow; (D) cash flow from operations; (E) cash flow
return; (F) return on net assets; (G) return on assets; (H) return on investment; (I) return on capital; (J) return on equity; (K) economic value added; (L) operating margin; (M) contribution margin;
(N) net income; (O) net income per Unit; (P) pretax earnings; (Q) pretax earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization; (R) pretax operating earnings after interest expense and before incentives, service fees, and
extraordinary or special items; (S) total unitholder return; (T) debt reduction; (U) market share; (V) change in the Fair Market Value of the Units; (W) operating income; (X) gross margin; (Y) price per Unit;
(Z) economic value added; (AA) safety record; (BB) environmental compliance; (CC) budget compliance; (DD) cash return on capitalization; (EE) revenue ratios (per service provider or per customer); (FF) return on capital compared to cost of
capital; (GG) return on capital employed; (HH) return on invested capital; (II) unitholder value; (JJ) net cash flow; (KK) EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, non-cash impairment loss, depreciation and amortization (or any combination
thereof)); (LL) cost reductions and cost ratios; and (MM) any of the above goals determined on an absolute or relative basis or as compared to the performance of a published or special index deemed applicable by the Committee including, but not
limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index or a group of comparable companies. Performance goals may differ for Performance Awards granted to any one Participant or to different Participants. 

(ii) Performance Periods. Achievement of performance goals in respect of such Performance Awards shall be measured over
a performance period of up to ten years, as specified by the Committee. Performance goals shall be established by the Committtee not later than 90 days after the beginning of any performance period applicable to such Performance Awards. 

(iii) Settlement. 

(A) At the end of each performance period, the Committee shall determine the amount, if any, of the amount of
the potential Performance Award otherwise payable to each Participant. In order to be eligible to receive such payment, the Participant must continue to provide services to the Partnership, the General Partner, or one of their Affiliates through the
first January 15 following the end of the performance period (the “Continuous Service Date”). Provided that the Participant has met this service requirement, the amount determined by the Committee, if any, shall be paid
to the Participant no later than March 15 of the year following the Continuous Service Date. The following example is provided to illustrate the timing of payment provision enumerated in the preceding sentence: If the performance period is the
2013 calendar year then the Participant must continue to provide services to the Partnership, the General Partner, or one of their Affiliates through January 15, 2014 (the Continuous Service Date) and the Performance Award must be settled no
later than March 15, 2015. 
 (B) Settlement of such Performance Awards shall be in cash, Units, other
Awards or other property, in the discretion of the Committee. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce or increase the amount of a settlement otherwise to be made in connection with such Performance Awards. The Committee shall specify the
circumstances in which such Performance Awards shall be paid or forfeited in the event of termination of employment by the Participant prior to the end of a performance period or settlement of Performance Awards. 

  
 11 







 (j) Certain Provisions Applicable to Awards. 

(i) Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem and Substitute Awards. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted
either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Partnership or any Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to, in substitution for, or in
tandem with other Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the Partnership or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards. If an Award is granted in
substitution or exchange for another Award, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award in consideration for the grant of the new Award. Awards under the Plan may be granted in lieu of cash compensation, including in lieu of cash
amounts payable under other plans of the General Partner, the Partnership, or any Affiliate, in which the value of Units subject to the Award is equivalent in value to the cash compensation, or in which the exercise price, grant price, or purchase
price of the Award in the nature of a right that may be exercised is equal to the Fair Market Value of the underlying Units minus the value of the cash compensation surrendered. Awards granted pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be designed,
awarded and settled in a manner that does not result in additional taxes under Section 409A the Code and the 409A Regulations. 

(ii) Limits on Transfer of Awards. 

(A) Except as provided in Section 6(j)(ii)(C) below, each Option and Unit Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only by
the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime, or by the Person to whom the Participant’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

(B) Except as provided in Section 6(j)(ii)(C) below, no Award, other than a Unit Award, and no right under any such Award
may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the
General Partner, the Partnership or any Affiliate. 
 (C) To the extent specifically provided by the Committee with respect
to an Option or Unit Appreciation Right, an Option or Unit Appreciation Right may be transferred by a Participant without consideration to immediate family members or related family trusts, limited partnerships or similar entities or on such terms
and conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish. 
 (iii) Term of Awards. The term of each Award shall
be for such period as may be determined by the Committee. 
 (iv) Form and Timing of Payment under Awards; Deferrals.
Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award agreement, payments to be made by the General Partner, the Partnership, or any Affiliate upon the exercise of an Option or other Award or settlement of an Award may be made in such forms as
the Committee shall determine, including without limitation cash, Units, other Awards or other property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis; provided, however, that any such
deferred payment will be set forth in the agreement evidencing such Award and/or otherwise made in a manner that will not result in additional taxes under Section 409A the Code and the 409A Regulations. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
settlement of any Award may be accelerated, and cash paid in lieu of Units in connection with such settlement, in the discretion of the Committee or upon occurrence 

  
 12 







 
of one or more specified events (in addition to a Change of Control). Installment or deferred payments may be required by the Committee (subject to Section 7(a) of the Plan, including the
consent provisions thereof in the case of any deferral of an outstanding Award not provided for in the original Award Agreement) or permitted at the election of the Participant on terms and conditions established by the Committee and in compliance
with Section 409A the Code and the 409A Regulations. Payments may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of DERs or other amounts
in respect of installment or deferred payments denominated in Units. This Plan shall not constitute an “employee benefit plan” for purposes of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 

(v) Issuance of Units. The Units or other securities of the Partnership delivered pursuant to an Award may be evidenced
in any manner deemed appropriate by the Committee in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, in the form of a certificate issued in the name of the Participant or by book entry, electronic or otherwise and shall be subject to such stop
transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which such Units or other securities are then listed, and any applicable
federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be inscribed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 

(vi) Consideration for Grants. Awards may be granted for such consideration, including services, as the Committee shall
determine. 
 (vii) Delivery of Units or other Securities and Payment by Participant of Consideration. Notwithstanding
anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, delivery of Units pursuant to the exercise, vesting and/or settlement of an Award may be deferred for any period during which, in the good faith determination of the Committee, the General
Partner is not reasonably able to obtain Units to deliver pursuant to such Award without violating applicable law or the applicable rules or regulations of any governmental agency or authority or securities exchange. No Units or other securities
shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement (including, without limitation, any exercise price or tax withholding) is received by the General
Partner. 
 (viii) Additional Agreements. Each Employee, Consultant or Director to whom an Award is granted under this
Plan may be required to agree in writing, as a condition to the grant of such Award or otherwise, to subject an Award that is exercised or settled following such Person’s termination of services with the General Partner, the Partnership or
their Affiliates to a general release of claims and/or a noncompetition and/or non-disparagement agreement in favor of the General Partner, the Partnership, and their Affiliates, with such other terms and conditions of such agreement(s) to be
determined in good faith by the Committee. 
 (ix) Termination of Employment. Except as provided herein, the treatment
of an Award upon a termination of employment or any other service relationship by and between a Participant and the General Partner, the Partnership, or any Affiliate shall be specified in the Award Agreement controlling such Award. 

  
 13 







 (x) Compliance with Law. Each Employee, Consultant or Director to whom an
Award is granted under this Plan shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any Unit that is acquired upon grant or vesting of an Award in any manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws, the Plan or the
rules, regulations or other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange upon which the Units are then listed. 
 Section 7.
Amendment and Termination. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law: 
 (a) Amendments to the Plan and Awards.
Except as required by applicable law or the rules of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which the Units are traded, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan in any manner, including
increasing the number of Units available for Awards under the Plan, without the consent of any partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may waive any conditions
or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided that no change, other than pursuant to Section 7(b), 7(c), 7(d), 7(e), or 7(g) below, in any Award shall materially reduce the rights or benefits of a
Participant with respect to an Award without the consent of such Participant. 
 (b) Subdivision or Consolidation of Units. The terms
of an Award and the number of Units authorized pursuant to Section 4 for issuance under the Plan shall be subject to adjustment from time to time, in accordance with the following provisions: 

(i) If at any time, or from time to time, the Partnership shall subdivide as a whole (by reclassification, by a Unit split, by
the issuance of a distribution on Units payable in Units, or otherwise) or in the event the Partnership distributes an extraordinary cash dividend the number of Units then outstanding into a greater number of Units, then, as appropriate,
(A) the maximum number of Units available for the Plan or in connection with Awards as provided in Sections 4 shall be increased proportionately, and the kind of other securities available for the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted,
(B) the number of Units (or other kind of securities) that may be acquired under any then outstanding Award shall be increased proportionately, and (C) the price (including the exercise price) for each Unit (or other kind of securities)
subject to then outstanding Awards shall be reduced proportionately, without changing the aggregate purchase price or value as to which outstanding Awards remain exercisable or subject to restrictions. 

(ii) If at any time, or from time to time, the Partnership shall consolidate as a whole (by reclassification, by reverse Unit
split, extraordinary repurchase, or otherwise) the number of Units then outstanding into a lesser number of Units, (A) the maximum number of Units for the Plan or available in connection with Awards as provided in Sections 4 shall be decreased
proportionately, and the kind of other securities available for the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted, (B) the number of Units (or other kind of securities) that may be acquired under any then outstanding Award shall be decreased
proportionately, and (C) the price (including the exercise price) for each Unit (or other kind of securities) subject to then outstanding Awards shall be increased proportionately, without changing the aggregate purchase price or value as to
which outstanding Awards remain exercisable or subject to restrictions. 
 (iii) Whenever the number of Units subject to
outstanding Awards and the price for each Unit subject to outstanding Awards are required to be adjusted as provided in this Section 7(b), the Committee shall promptly prepare a notice setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the change in price and the number of Units, other securities, cash, or property purchasable subject to each Award after giving effect to the
adjustments. The Committee shall promptly provide each affected Participant with such notice. 

  
 14 







 (iv) Adjustments under Sections 7(b)(i) and (ii) shall be made by the
Committee, and its determination as to what adjustments shall be made and the extent thereof shall be final, binding, and conclusive. No fractional interest shall be issued under the Plan on account of any such adjustments. 

(c) Recapitalizations. If the Partnership recapitalizes, reclassifies its equity securities, or otherwise changes its capital structure
(a “recapitalization”) without a Change of Control, the number and class of Units covered by an Award theretofore granted shall be adjusted so that such Award shall thereafter cover the number and class of Units and
securities to which the holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if, immediately prior to the recapitalization, the holder had been the holder of record of the number of Units then covered by such Award and the
Unit limitations provided in Section 4 shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with the recapitalization. 
 (d) Additional
Issuances. Except as expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Partnership of units of any class or securities convertible into units of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or
warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of units or obligations of the Partnership convertible into such units or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall
be made with respect to, the number of Units subject to Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per Unit, if applicable. 
 (e)
Change of Control. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, upon a Change of Control the Committee, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any holder, may affect one or
more of the following alternatives, which may vary among individual holders and which may vary among Awards: (i) remove any applicable forfeiture restrictions on any Award; (ii) accelerate the time of exercisability or the time at which
the Restricted Period shall lapse to a specific date, before or after such Change of Control, specified by the Committee; (iii) require the mandatory surrender to the General Partner or the Partnership by selected holders of some or all of the
outstanding Awards held by such holders (irrespective of whether such Awards are then subject to a Restricted Period or other restrictions pursuant to the Plan) as of a date, before or after such Change of Control, specified by the Committee, in
which event the Committee shall thereupon cancel such Awards and pay to each holder an amount of cash per Unit equal to the amount calculated in Section 7(f) (the “Change of Control Price”) less the exercise price, if
any, applicable to such Awards; provided, however, that to the extent the exercise price of an Option or a Unit Appreciation Right exceeds the Change of Control Price, no consideration will be paid with respect to that Award;
(iv) cancel Awards that remain subject to a Restricted Period as of the date of a Change of Control without payment of any consideration to the Participant for such Awards; or (v) make such adjustments to Awards then outstanding as the
Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change of Control (including, but not limited to, the substitution of Awards for new awards); provided, however, that the Committee may determine in its sole discretion that no adjustment is
necessary to Awards then outstanding. 
 (f) Change of Control Price. The “Change of Control Price” shall
equal the amount determined in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), whichever is applicable, as follows: (i) the per Unit price offered to Unit holders in any merger or consolidation; (ii) the per Unit value of the Units immediately
before the Change of Control without regard to assets sold in the Change of Control and assuming the General Partner or the Partnership, as applicable, has received the consideration paid for the assets in the case of a sale of the assets;
(iii) the amount distributed per Unit in a dissolution transaction; (iv) the price 

  
 15 







 
per Unit offered to Unit holders in any tender offer or exchange offer whereby a Change of Control takes place; or (v) if such Change of Control occurs other than pursuant to a transaction
described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) of this Section 7(f), the Fair Market Value per Unit of the Units that may otherwise be obtained with respect to such Awards or to which such Awards track, as determined by the Committee as of
the date determined by the Committee to be the date of cancellation and surrender of such Awards. In the event that the consideration offered to unitholders of the Partnership in any transaction described in this Section 7(f) or
Section 7(e) consists of anything other than cash, the Committee shall determine the fair cash equivalent of the portion of the consideration offered which is other than cash. 

(g) Impact of Corporate Events on Awards Generally. In the event of changes in the outstanding Units by reason of a recapitalization,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the date of the grant of any Award and not otherwise provided for by this Section 7, any outstanding Awards and any Award
Agreements evidencing such Awards shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee at its discretion, which adjustment may, in the Committee’s discretion, be described in the Award Agreement and may include, but not be limited to, adjustments as
to the number and price of Units or other consideration subject to such Awards, accelerated vesting (in full or in part) of such Awards, conversion of such Awards into awards denominated in the securities or other interests of any successor Person,
or the cash settlement of such Awards in exchange for the cancellation thereof. In the event of any such change in the outstanding Units, the aggregate number of Units available under this Plan may be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose
determination shall be conclusive. 
 Section 8. General Provisions. 

(a) No Rights to Award. No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity
of treatment of Participants. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 
 (b) Tax
Withholding. Unless other arrangements have been made that are acceptable to the General Partner or an Affiliate, the Partnership or Affiliate is authorized to deduct, withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any Award, from any
payment due or transfer made under any Award or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Units, Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to such Award or other property) of any applicable taxes payable
in respect of the grant or settlement of an Award, its exercise, the lapse of restrictions thereon, or any other payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the General
Partner or Affiliate to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Participant who is subject to Rule 16b-3, such tax withholding automatically shall be effected by the
General Partner either by (i) “netting” or withholding Units otherwise deliverable to the Participant on the vesting or payment of such Award, or (ii) requiring the Participant to pay an amount equal to the applicable taxes
payable in cash. 

  
 16 







 (c) No Right to Employment or Services. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as
giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the General Partner or any Affiliate, to continue providing consulting services, or to remain on the Board, as applicable. Furthermore, the General Partner or an Affiliate may at any
time dismiss a Participant from employment or his or her service relationship free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any Award Agreement or other agreement. 

(d) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. 
 (e)
Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed
applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the
Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement
conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (as those terms or provisions are applied to Participants who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act), then those conflicting terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent
they so conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (unless the Board or the Committee, as appropriate, has expressly determined that the Plan or such Award should not comply with Rule 16b-3). 

(f) Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or other consideration under an Award if, in its sole
discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Units or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Units are then traded, or entitle the
Partnership or an Affiliate to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the General Partner by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be
promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. 
 (g) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award
shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the General Partner or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive
payments from the General Partner or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the General Partner or such Affiliate. 

(h) No Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall
determine in its sole discretion whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Units or whether such fractional Units or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise
eliminated with or without consideration. 
 (i) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a
convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof. 

(j) Facility of Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any individual under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the
Committee, is unable to manage properly his financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such individual, or may be applied for the benefit of such individual in any manner that the Committee may select, and the General Partner
shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts. 
 (k) Allocation of Costs. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
override, amend, or modify any cost sharing arrangement, omnibus agreement, or other arrangement between the General Partner, the Partnership, and any Affiliate regarding the sharing of costs between those entities. 

  
 17 







 (l) Gender and Number. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender,
the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
 (m) Compliance with Section 409A. Nothing in
the Plan or any Award Agreement shall operate or be construed to cause the Plan or an Award to fail to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The applicable provisions of Section 409A the Code and the 409A Regulations
are hereby incorporated by reference and shall control over any Plan or Award Agreement provision in conflict therewith. All 409A Awards shall be designed to comply with Section 409A of the Code. 

(n) Specified Employee under Section 409A of the Code. Subject to any other restrictions or limitations contained herein, in the
event that a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code and the 409A Regulations) becomes entitled to a payment under an Award which is a 409A Award on account of a “separation from service” (as defined
under Section 409A of the Code and the 409A Regulations), to the extent required by the Code, such payment shall not occur until the date that is six months plus one day from the date of such separation from service. Any amount that is
otherwise payable within the six-month period described herein will be aggregated and paid in a lump sum without interest. 
 (o) No
Guarantee of Tax Consequences. None of the Board, the Committee, the Partnership nor the General Partner makes any commitment or guarantee that any federal, state or local tax treatment will (or will not) apply or be available to any
Participant. 
 Section 9. Term of the Plan. The Plan shall be effective on the date on which it is adopted by the Board
and shall continue until the earliest of (i) the date terminated by the Board, (ii) all Units available under the Plan have been delivered to Participants, or (iii) the 10th anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.
However, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award, shall extend beyond
such termination date.
