<PAGE>
1.3      DISTRIBUTION EQUIVALENT RIGHTS ("DERS"). The Participant shall be
         entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount equal to each
         cash distribution payable subsequent to the Date of Grant (each such
         entitlement being a distribution equivalent right or "DER"), just as
         though the Participant, on the applicable record date for payment of
         such cash distribution, had been the holder of record of common units,
         representing limited partnership interests in the Partnership, equal to
         the actual number of Restricted Units, if any, earned and received by
         the Participant at the end of the Restricted Period. The Company shall
         establish a bookkeeping methodology to account for the distribution
         equivalents to be credited to the Participant in recognition of these
         DERs. Such distribution equivalents will not bear interest.

1.4      PERFORMANCE MEASURES. Exhibit _____, attached hereto and made a part
         hereof, sets forth the performance measures that will be applied to
         determine the amount of the award earned pursuant to this Agreement.
         Any or all of these performance measures may be modified by the
         Committee during, and after the end of, the Restricted Period to
         reflect significant events that occur during such Restricted Period.

1.5      PAYMENT OF RESTRICTED UNITS AND RELATED DERS. Payment in respect of the
         Restricted Units, and the related DERs, shall be paid to Participant
         within ninety (90) days after the Restricted Period for such Restricted
         Units has ended, but only to the extent the Committee determines that
         the applicable performance targets have been met.

         (a)  Payment in respect of Restricted Units earned. Except as provided
              by Section 1.6 hereof, all payment for Restricted Units earned
              shall be made in common units representing limited partnership
              interests in the Partnership. The number of common units paid
              shall be equal to the number of Restricted Units earned; provided,
              however, that any fractional units shall be distributed as an
              amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional
              unit on the date of payment.

         (b)  Payment of Earned DERs. The Participant will be entitled to
              receive from the Company at the end of the Restricted Period,
              payment of an amount in cash equal to the DERs earned , as
              determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of Exhibit
              _____.

         Applicable federal, state and local taxes shall be withheld in

              the Restricted Units subject to this award will be paid to the
              Participant no later than ninety (90) days following the date of
              occurrence of such Change of Control, regardless of whether the
              applicable Restricted Period has expired or whether applicable
              performance goals or targets have been met.

                  For a Change of Control occurring within the first consecutive
              twelve-month period following the Date of Grant, the number of
              performance-based Restricted Units paid out shall be equal to the
              total number of Restricted Units outstanding in this award as of
              the Change of Control, not adjusted for any performance factors.

                  For a Change of Control occurring after the first consecutive
              twelve-month period following the Date of Grant, the number of
              performance-based Restricted Units paid out shall be the greater
              of:

                  this award as of the Change of Control, not adjusted for any

                      (2) the total number of Restricted Units outstanding in

                  related to the Partnership's actual performance immediately
                  prior to the Change of Control.

              prior to the Change of Control, as follows:

                      (4) if the Participant is to receive cash, the Participant
                  will be paid an amount in cash equal to the number of Units

                  Market Value per Unit immediately prior to the Change of
                  Control. Such amount will be reduced by the applicable
                  federal, state and local withholding taxes due.

         (b)  Distribution Equivalents. On or before the ninetieth (90th) day
              following the date of occurrence of the Change of Control, the
              Participant will be paid an amount in cash equal to the value of
              the applicable DERs on the number of Units being paid pursuant to
              Section 1.6(a) hereof, for the time period immediately preceding
              the Change of Control.

         (c)  Eligibility for Payout. Payout of Restricted Units and DERs shall
              be made to each Participant:

              (1) who is employed by the Company on the ninetieth (90th) day
         following the date of occurrence of the Change of Control; or

                  (A) for Good Reason, or as a result of any Qualifying
                      Termination prior to the ninetieth (90th) day following
                      the date of occurrence of the Change of Control; or

                  (B) as a result of death, permanent disability or retirement
                      (as each is determined by the Committee), that has
                      occurred prior to the ninetieth (90th) day following the
                      date of occurrence of the Change of Control..

         (d)  Qualifying Termination - shall mean the following:

              (1) a termination of employment by the Company within six (6)

                  or permanent disability;

              (2) a termination of employment by the Participant within six (6)
                  months after a Change of Control for one or more of the
                  following reasons:

                  (i)    the assignment to such Participant of any duties
                         inconsistent in a way significantly adverse to such
                         Participant, with such Participant's positions, duties,
                         responsibilities and status with the Company
                         immediately prior to the Change of Control, or a
                         significant reduction in the duties and
                         responsibilities held by the Participant immediately
                         prior to the Change of Control, in each case except in
                         connection with such Participant's termination of
                         employment by the Company for Cause; or

                  (ii)   a reduction by the Company in the Participant's
                         combined annual base salary and guideline (target)
                         bonus as in effect immediately prior to the Change of
                         Control; or

                  (iii)  the Company requires the Participant to be based
                         anywhere other than the Participant's present work
                         location or a location within thirty-five (35) miles
                         from the present location; or the Company requires the
                         Participant to travel on Company business to an extent
                         substantially more burdensome than such Participant's
                         travel

                         obligations during the period of twelve (12)
                         consecutive months immediately preceding the Change of
                         Control;

                  provided, however, that in the case of any such termination of
                  employment by the Participant under this subparagraph (d),
                  such termination shall not be deemed to be a Qualifying
                  Termination unless the termination occurs within 120 days
                  after the occurrence of the event or events constituting the
                  reason for the termination; or

              (3) before a Change of Control, a termination of employment by the
                  Company, other than a termination for Cause, or a termination
                  of employment by the Participant for one of the reasons set
                  forth in (2) above, if the affected Participant can
                  demonstrate that such termination or circumstance in (2) above
                  leading to the termination:

                  (i)  was at the request of a third party with which the
                       Company had entered into negotiations or an agreement
                       with regard to a Change of Control; or

                  (ii) otherwise occurred in connection with a Change of
                       Control;

                  provided, however, that in either such case, a Change of
                  Control actually occurs within one (1) year following the
                  Participant's employment termination date.

1.7      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

         (a)  Death, Disability or Retirement. The Committee has determined
              that, with regard to any particular Restricted Period, no portion
              of the Participant's Restricted Units, and related DERs, for such
              Restricted Period shall be forfeited as a result of the
              occurrence, prior to the end of that Restricted Period, of either
              of the following :

              (1) the death of the Participant; or

              (2) the termination of the Participant's employment with the
                  Company by reason of retirement or permanent disability (as
                  each is determined by the Committee).

              Instead, the Participant's Restricted Units, and related DERs,
              earned for such Restricted Period shall remain and be paid out as
              though the Participant had continued in the employment of the
              Company through the end of the applicable Restricted Period.

              The Participant's Restricted Units, and related DERs will remain
              subject to adjustment for any performance factors in accordance
              with the applicable provisions of Exhibit _____ attached hereto,
              and will be paid out only as, if, and when the applicable
              performance goals have been met and the Restricted Period has
              ended, just as though the Participant had continued in the
              employment of the Company through the end of the Restricted
              Period.

         (b)  Other Termination of Employment. Except as provided in Sections
              1.6 and 1.7(a) above, or as determined by the Committee, upon
              termination of the Participant's employment with the Company at
              any time prior to the end of the Restricted Period, the
              Participant shall forfeit 100% of such Participant's Restricted
              Units, together with the related DERs, and the Participant shall
              not be entitled to receive any common units, representing limited
              partnership interests of the Partnership, or any payment in
              respect of any DERs, regardless of the level of performance goals
              achieved for all or any part of the Restricted Period.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

2.1      NON-ASSIGNABILITY. The Restricted Units and the related earned DERs
         covered by this Agreement shall not be assignable or transferable by
         the Participant, except by will or the laws of descent and
         distribution, unless otherwise provided by the Committee. During the
         life of the Participant, the Restricted Units and the related DERs
         covered by this Agreement shall be payable only to the Participant or
         the guardian or legal representative of such Participant, unless the
         Committee provides otherwise.

2.2      HEIRS AND SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
         the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon
         any person acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of
         assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company's assets
         and business. In the event of the Participant's death prior to payment
         of the Restricted Units and/or the related DERs, payment may be made to
         the estate of the Participant to the extent such payment is otherwise
         permitted by this Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Plan, any
         benefits distributable to the Participant under this Agreement that are
         not paid at the time of the Participant's death shall be paid at the
         time and in the form determined in accordance with the provisions of
         this Agreement and the Plan, to the legal representative or
         representatives of the estate of the Participant.

2.3      NO RIGHT OF CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. The receipt of this award does not
         give the Participant, and nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement
         shall confer upon the Participant, any right to continue in the
         employment of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Nothing in the
         Plan or in this Agreement shall affect any right which the Company or
         any of its subsidiaries may have to terminate the employment of the
         Participant. The payment of earned Restricted Units, and the related
         DERs, under this Agreement shall not give the Company or any of its
         subsidiaries any right to the continued services of the Participant for
         any period.

2.4      RIGHTS AS A LIMITED PARTNER. Neither the Participant nor any other
         person shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership of common
         units, representing limited partnership interests in the Partnership,
         or otherwise have any rights as a limited partner, by reason of the
         award of the Restricted Units covered by this Agreement or any
         Partnership common units, issuable in respect of such Restricted Units,
         unless and until such common units have been validly issued to such
         Participant or such other person as fully paid common units,
         representing limited partnership interests in the Partnership.

2.5      REGISTRATION OF COMMON UNITS. Notwithstanding any other provision of
         this Agreement, the Restricted Units shall not be or become payable in
         whole or in part unless a registration statement with respect to the
         common units subject thereto has been filed with the Securities and
         Exchange Commission and has become effective.

2.6      TAX WITHHOLDING.  All distributions under this Agreement are subject to
         withholding of all applicable taxes.

         (a)  Payment in Common Units. Immediately prior to the payment of any
              common units to Participant in respect of earned Restricted Units,
              the Participant shall remit an amount sufficient to satisfy any
              Federal, state and/or local withholding tax due on the receipt of
              such common units. At the election of the Participant, and subject
              to such rules as may be established by the Committee, such
              withholding obligations may be satisfied through the surrender of
              common units representing limited partnership interests in the
              Partnership and otherwise payable to Participant in respect of
              such earned Restricted Units.

         generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled to
         determine:

         (a)  whether or not any such leave of absence shall constitute a
              termination of employment within the meaning of the Plan; and

         (b)  the impact, if any, of any such leave of absence on any prior
              awards made to the Participant under the Plan.
