adversely affect, in any material respect, the Participants rights under this Agreement, without the written consent of the Participant.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (6) | Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, if any provision of the Agreement contravenes any regulations or guidance promulgated under Section 409A
or could cause the Restricted Common Units to be subject to the interest and penalties under Section 409A, that provision may be modified by the Company without consent of the Participant to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the
original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A. Moreover, any discretionary authority that the Board or Committee may have pursuant to this Agreement shall not be applicable to Restricted Common
Units that become subject to Section 409A, to the extent such discretionary authority will contravene Section 409A. This Section I(6) does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify this Agreement and does not guarantee
that the Award will not be subject to interest and penalties under Section 409A.
