 PURCHASERS’ REPRESENTATIONS 
 Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Partnership as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows: 
 Section 4.1 Investment Intent. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Such
Purchaser is acquiring the Final Purchased Units for investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof. Such Purchaser acknowledges and understands that (a) the acquisition of the Final Purchased Units has not been
registered under the Securities Act in reliance on an exemption therefrom and (b) the Final Purchased Units will be characterized as “restricted securities” under applicable securities Laws. Such Purchaser agrees that the Final
Purchased Units may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities 

  
 21 









 
Act, and in compliance with other applicable state and federal securities Laws. Each Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of holding such Final Purchased Units for an indefinite period,
and (either alone or together with its advisors) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of its investment. Without limiting the effect of the representations
and warranties of the Partnership hereunder, each Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions, receive answers and obtain such information as it considers to be relevant to its purchase of the Final Purchased Units hereunder. 

Section 4.2 Authorization. Such Purchaser has all requisite power, authority and legal capacity to execute, deliver
and fully perform its obligations under each Transaction Document to which it is a party. The execution and delivery by such Purchaser of each Transaction Document to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary limited liability company, corporate or general partner action. Each Transaction Document to which such Purchaser is or will be a party has been or will be duly and validly executed
and delivered by such Purchaser and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of each such Transaction Document by each of the parties thereto, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser, enforceable against
such Purchaser in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability hereof or thereof may be limited by the Remedies Exception. Except as otherwise indicated in this Agreement, no further action on the part of such Purchaser is or shall be
required in connection with the performance of any Transaction Document to which it is a party. 
 Section 4.3
Representations and Warranties Under Transaction Documents. The representations and warranties made by such Purchaser in any of the Transaction Documents are true and correct in all material respects.

this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the CMO Purchase Agreement, the CMO Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Partnership shall

 Section 7.2 Indemnification. 

(a) From and after the Closing, subject to Section 7.1 and Section 7.4, the Partnership hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold each of the Purchasers and each of their respective current and future Affiliates and each of the respective (if applicable) current and future indirect and direct equity holders (but excluding any such Person that is or becomes
an Affiliate or direct or indirect equity holder of the Purchasers solely as a result of the purchase of publicly traded securities from the general public), general and limited partners, members, directors, managers, officers, employees, and agents
of the foregoing (each a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) harmless from and against, and pay to the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee the amount of, any and all losses, liabilities, claims, obligations, deficiencies, demands, judgments,
settlements, damages, interest, fines, penalties, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, assessments, awards, Taxes, costs and expenses (including costs of investigation and defense and attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees), whether
or not involving a Third Party Claim (collectively, “Damages”) based upon, attributable to or resulting from (including any and all Proceedings, demands, or assessments arising out of): 

(i) any inaccuracy, untruth or breach of the representations or warranties made by the Partnership in this Agreement and
in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto on and as of the date hereof and on and as of the Closing Date; and 

(ii) any breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of the Partnership under this Agreement and in any
certificate delivered pursuant hereto. 
 (b) From and after the Closing, subject to Section 7.1 and
Section 7.4, the Purchasers, severally, and not jointly, hereby agree to indemnify and hold the Partnership, the General Partner and the members, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing (collectively, the
“Partnership Indemnified Parties”, and together with the Purchaser Indemnitees, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and pay to the applicable Partnership Indemnified Parties the
amount of, any and all Damages based upon, attributable to or resulting from (including any and all Proceedings, demands, or assessments arising out of): 
 (i) any inaccuracy, untruth or breach of the representations or warranties made by the Purchasers in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto; and 

(ii) any breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of the Purchasers under this Agreement and in any
certificate delivered pursuant hereto. 
 (c) Materiality, Partnership Material Adverse Effect and similar qualifiers contained
in any representation or warranty, except in the case of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.14, or in any defined term used therein, shall be disregarded for purposes of subsections (a)(i) and (b)(i) of this
Section 7.2 in determining any inaccuracy, untruth or breach of the representations or warranties contained herein and calculating the amount of Damages suffered by an Indemnified Party. 

  
 29 









 (d) In connection with any loss suffered or incurred by either Purchaser that is subject to
indemnification under this Section 7.2, the amount of any Damages to which such Purchaser is finally judicially determined to be entitled under this Section 7.2 shall be grossed up to reflect the amount of such Damages that
such Purchaser shall have borne indirectly solely as a result of its ownership of the Final Purchased Units purchased by such Purchaser from the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement. 

Section 7.3 Indemnification Procedure. 
 (a) Each Indemnified Party agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim by it for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2, such Indemnified Party will assert its
claim for indemnification under Section 7.2 (each, a “Claim”) by providing a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) within the applicable Survival Period to the applicable indemnifying party
(the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying, in reasonable detail, to the extent known by such Indemnified Party, the nature and basis for such Claim (e.g., the underlying representation, warranty or covenant alleged to have been
breached and the condition or conduct allegedly resulting in such breach). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party’s delay in sending a Claim Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from Liability hereunder with respect to
such Claim except to the extent (and limited solely to the extent) of any material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party by such failure or delay, provided that such Claim Notice is provided within the applicable Survival Period. 

(b) In the event that any Proceeding is instituted or any Claim is asserted by any Third Party in respect of which indemnification may be
sought under Section 7.2 hereof and in respect of which the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all of such Indemnified Party’s Damages (subject to any applicable limitations in this
Article VII) (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party will have the right, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, to assume the defense of same including the appointment and selection of counsel on behalf of
the Indemnified Party so long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, it shall within thirty (30) days notify the Indemnified Party
in writing of its intent to do so. Subject to Section 7.3(c), the Indemnifying Party will have the right to settle or compromise or take any corrective or remedial action with respect to any such Third Party Claim by all appropriate
proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will be entitled, at its own cost, to participate with the
Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, unless separate representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel is reasonably necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, in which case such representation shall be at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim but fails to diligently prosecute such Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party may assume control of such defense and in the event the Third Party Claim is determined to be a matter for which the Indemnifying Party is required to provide indemnification under the terms of this Article VII, the
Indemnifying Party will bear the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense (including fees and expenses of counsel). 

  
 30 









 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will
not be permitted to settle, compromise, take any corrective or remedial action or enter into an agreed judgment or consent decree or to the extent within its control, permit a default judgment, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written
consent, in each case, that (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a binding, irrevocable, written release of any Indemnified Party from all Liability,
(ii) provides for any admission of Liability on the part of any Indemnified Party, (iii) requires an admission of guilt or wrongdoing on the part of any Indemnified Party or (iv) imposes any Liability or continuing obligation on or
requires any payment from any Indemnified Party. 
 Section 7.4 Limitations. 

(a) No Indemnifying Party shall have any Liability under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i) related to a
representation or warranty other than a Fundamental Representation and Section 3.12 (Taxes) in respect of any individual claim involving Damages to any Indemnified Party of less than $100,000 (each, a “De Minimis
Claim”), unless such individual claim is directly related to one or more other claims which in the aggregate involve Damages in excess of $100,000, in which case, the Indemnifying Party will have Liability for the full amount of such
claims (subject to the other limitations contained in this Section 7.4) and such claims shall not be considered De Minimis Claims (it being understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, solely for
the purposes of this Section 7.4(a), all claims related to any fact or circumstance that causes any representation or warranty made in any particular Section of this Agreement to be inaccurate shall be deemed to be related to all other
claims related such fact or circumstance). 
 (b) No Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to
Section 7.2(a)(i) related to a representation or warranty other than a Fundamental Representation and Section 3.12 (Taxes) unless the aggregate of all Losses claimed by the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to such section that
are not De Minimis Claims exceeds 1% of the Total Purchase Price (the “Claim Deductible”), in which case, subject to Section 7.4(d), the Partnership shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitee only for the Damages in
excess of the Claim Deductible. 
 (c) No Partnership Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to
Section 7.2(b)(i) related to a representation or warranty unless the aggregate of all Damages claimed by the Partnership Indemnified Parties pursuant to such section exceeds the Claim Deductible, in which case, subject to
Section 7.4(d), the Purchasers shall indemnify the Partnership Indemnified Party only for the Losses in excess of the Claim Deductible. 
 (d) The Partnership shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees under Section 7.2(a)(i) for Damages that exceed, in the aggregate, 20% of the Total Purchase Price;
provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to Damages of the Purchaser Indemnitees arising from any Fundamental Representation and Section 3.12 (Taxes), 

  
 31 









 
and the Partnership’s aggregate Liability for such Damages, together with any other indemnifiable Damages, shall not exceed the Total Purchase Price. The Purchasers shall not have any
obligation to indemnify the Partnership Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(b)(i) for Damages that exceed, in the aggregate, 20% of the Total Purchase Price. 
 (e) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER THE PURCHASERS, THE PARTNERSHIP NOR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE HEREUNDER TO ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR ANY
(I) PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR (II) LOST PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES EXCEPT, IN THE CASE OF THIS CLAUSE (II), TO THE EXTENT SUCH LOST PROFITS OR DAMAGES ARE (X) NOT BASED ON ANY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE
PARTY ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION AND (Y) THE NATURAL, PROBABLE AND REASONABLY FORESEEABLE RESULT OF THE EVENT THAT GAVE RISE THERETO OR THE MATTER FOR WHICH INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION THROUGH WHICH
SUCH DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT, EXCEPT IN EACH CASE OF THE FOREGOING CLAUSES (I) AND (II), TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH LOST PROFITS OR DAMAGES ARE INCLUDED IN ANY ACTION BY A THIRD PARTY AGAINST SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR WHICH IT IS ENTITLED TO
INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. 
 Section 7.5 Calculation of Damages. In calculating amounts payable
to an Indemnified Party, the amount of any indemnified Damages shall be computed net of (a) payments actually recovered by any Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Damages and (b) any actual recovery by any
Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Damages. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue reimbursement for Damages, including under insurance policies and indemnity arrangements. 

Section 7.6 No Duplication. In no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to recover any Damages under one
Section or provision of this Agreement to the extent of the full amount of such Damages already recovered by such Indemnified Party nor shall its insurer or indemnitor be entitled to any kind of subrogation or substitution which would give it the

party to any Transaction Document, to the extent of its obligations thereunder to the other parties thereto or express third party beneficiaries thereof, collectively, “Non-Recourse Persons”), whether by or through attempted
piercing of the “corporate veil”, by or through a claim (whether in tort, contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) by or on behalf of any Party against any Non-Recourse Person, by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by any
legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, or otherwise. The Non-Recourse Persons shall be express third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.8(b) as if expressly party thereto.

 (c) Notwithstanding Section 7.8(a), nothing contained in this Section 7.8 shall prevent any Party
from seeking and obtaining injunctive relief against the other Party’s activities in breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.1 Termination of Agreement Prior to Closing. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the
Closing: 
 (a) by the mutual written consent of the Partnership and the Purchasers; 

(b) by the Partnership or the Purchasers if there shall be in effect a final nonappealable order of a Governmental Authority of competent
jurisdiction restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1 shall not be available to the
Partnership, on the one hand, or either Purchaser, on the other hand, if such order was primarily due to the failure of the Partnership, on the one hand, or either Purchaser, on the other hand, to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;

 (c) by the Purchasers if the Partnership shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Partnership shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) and Section 6.3(b)
would not be satisfied and such breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within ten (10) days following receipt by the Partnership of notice of such breach from the Purchasers; 

(d) by the Partnership if either Purchaser shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of either Purchaser shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) would not be
satisfied and such breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within ten (10) days following receipt by the Purchasers of notice of such breach from the Partnership; 

  
 34 









 (e) by the Partnership or the Purchasers if the CMO Purchase Agreement or the ACMP Unit

the Closing does not occur on or before the later of January 31, 2013 or the Outside Date (as defined in the CMO Purchase Agreement as amended from time to time with the prior written consent of the Purchasers); provided, that such
failure of the Closing to occur is not due to the failure of such Party to perform and comply in all material respects with the covenants and agreements to be performed or complied with by such Party prior to the Closing. 

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination Prior to Closing. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in
Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party hereto, except that (a) the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 7.8(b), this
Section 8.2, Article IX and Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any Party from any liability
for any breach of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL 

Section 9.1 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement and all questions relating
to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the Laws of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction that would call for the

Proceeding, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Superior Court), (collectively, the “Courts”) for the purposes of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby
(and agrees not to commence any Proceeding relating hereto except in such Courts). Each of the Parties further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document hand delivered or sent in accordance with Section 10.3 to such
Party’s respective address set forth in Section 10.3 will be effective service of process for any Proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in
the Courts, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

  
 35 









 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Proceeding properly brought in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be conclusive and may be enforced by
suit on the judgment in any jurisdiction or in any other manner provided at law or in equity. EACH PARTY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION
HEREWITH. 
 Section 9.2 Provision in respect of WMB Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, each of the General Partner and Partnership agrees (i) that it will not, and it will not permit any of its Affiliates to, bring or support anyone else in bringing any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third party
claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the WMB Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby in any forum
other than any New York State court or federal court sitting in the City of New York in the Borough of Manhattan (and any appellate courts thereof) and (ii) TO WAIVE AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY WMB DEBT FINANCING SOURCE.

Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Partnership may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Purchasers. The Purchasers may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Partnership except that each Purchaser may freely assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations

or (b) following Closing, to any Person that acquires any of the Total Purchased Units (other than pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or a sale to the general public in reliance on an exemption therefrom) from such
Purchaser; provided, that no such assignment will in any way affect such Purchaser’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement. 
 Section 10.5 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the Partnership and the Purchasers and the
Partnership and the Purchasers will not have an adequate remedy at Law. Therefore, the obligations of the Partnership and the Purchasers under this Agreement, including the 

  
 38 









 
Partnership’s obligation to issue the Total Purchased Units to the Purchasers and the Additional General Partner Interest to the General Partner and the Purchasers’ obligation to
purchase the Total Purchased Units from the Partnership and the General Partner’s obligation to acquire the Additional General Partner Interest from the Partnership, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court
of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies that any Party may have
under this Agreement or otherwise. 
 Section 10.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules
hereto), together with each of the other Transaction Documents, constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous discussions,
agreements and understandings, whether written or oral that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. 

Section 10.7 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision or portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law in any jurisdiction by any applicable Governmental Authority,
(a) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision in
any other jurisdiction, (b) such provision shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable only to the extent strictly required by such Governmental Authority, (c) to the extent any such provision is deemed to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, each of the Partnership and the Purchasers agrees that it shall use its best efforts to cause such Governmental Authority to modify such provision so that such provision shall be valid, legal and enforceable as originally intended to
the greatest extent possible and (d) to the extent that the Governmental Authority does not modify such provision, each of the Partnership and the Purchasers agrees that it shall endeavor in good faith to exercise or modify such provision so
that such provision shall be valid, legal and enforceable as originally intended to the greatest extent possible. 

Section 10.8 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and, except as provided below, inure
solely to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person other than the Parties, including any creditor of
any Party or any of its Affiliates, except that (a) this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Non-Recourse Parties as necessary to enforce their rights in accordance with Section 7.8(b) and (b) Section 9.2 and
this Section 10.8 (solely as it relates to Section 9.2) shall inure to the benefit of the WMB Debt Financing Sources. Except for the Non-Recourse Parties and the WMB Debt Financing Sources, in each case as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, no Person other than the Parties shall obtain any right under any provision of this Agreement or shall by reason of any such provision make any claim in respect of any Liability (or otherwise) against any Party
hereto. 

  
 39

anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Parties acknowledge and agree that it is not their intent that this Agreement alter, extend or otherwise modify, or be treated or construed as altering, extending or
otherwise modifying, any Survival Period under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any statute of limitations under applicable Law (including Delaware Law), except to the extent provided in the immediately preceding sentence with
respect to the Fundamental Representations. No Party shall, and each Party shall cause its Affiliates not to, take a position that is inconsistent with this Section 10.11, whether before any Governmental Authority or otherwise.

 Section 10.12 Certain Interpretations. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and agreement
contained in this Agreement shall have independent significance. The table of contents and headings preceding the text of articles and sections included in this Agreement and the headings to the schedules are for convenience only and are not to be

contained herein or in any of the Transaction Documents, the obligations of the Purchasers hereunder or thereunder shall be several and not joint.

disclosures regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, without the prior written approval of the Parties; provided, however, that a Party or its Representatives may issue a public announcement or other public disclosures
required by Law or the rules of any stock exchange upon which such Party’s or its parent entity’s or, in the case of each of the Purchasers’, the Partnership’s equity interests are traded; provided, further, that such Party uses
commercially reasonable efforts to afford the other Parties an opportunity to first review the content of the proposed disclosure and provide reasonable comment regarding same; provided, further, that nothing herein shall restrict any Party from
disclosing information regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to its Representatives. 

Section 10.15 CMO Purchase Agreement. The Purchasers agree that, the Partnership is not making any representations or
warranties or agreeing to any covenants with respect to the CMO Purchase Agreement or the entities to be acquired thereunder or the ACMP Unit Purchase Agreement, including, the assets, Liabilities, Contracts or other matters relating thereto.

 Section 10.16 Right to Rely. Following the Closing, any rights to indemnification, payment, reimbursement
or other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable
of being acquired) before the Closing. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or in the performance of or compliance with, any such covenant or agreement, shall not affect the right to indemnification,
payment, reimbursement or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements. 

Section 10.17 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other substantially
similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by the Partnership when due, and the Partnership shall, at its own
expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes.

WHEREAS, Section 13.1(g) of the Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner, without the approval of any Partner,

 3. Article V is hereby amended to add a new Section 5.12 as follows:

 Section 5.12 Establishment of Convertible Class B Units 
 (a) The General Partner hereby designates and creates a series of Units to be designated as “Convertible Class B Units,” having the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

(b) The holders of the Convertible Class B Units shall have rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, including the
right to share in any liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 12.4, in accordance with Article XII. 
 (c)
Conversion of Convertible Class B Units 
 (i) Effective on the business day after the record date for the
distribution on Common Units for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2014, each Convertible Class B Unit shall become convertible at the election of the holder thereof or the Partnership into a Common Unit on a one-for-one basis by delivery
of written notice to the Partnership or the holder thereof, as applicable, setting forth the number of Convertible Class B Units held by the holder, the number of Convertible Class B Units it is electing to convert, and other applicable information
as may be reasonably requested by the Partnership or the holder thereof, as applicable (such date on which a holder or the Partnership elects to convert a Convertible Class B Unit, a “Convertible Class B Conversion Date”). If such
Convertible Class B Units are Certificated, a Convertible Class B Unit Certificate shall be delivered by the holder to the Transfer Agent representing an amount of Convertible Class B Units at least equal to the amount such holder or the
Partnership, as applicable, is electing to convert (or an instruction letter shall be delivered by the holder to the Transfer Agent if the Convertible Class B Units are in book-entry form), together with such additional information as may be
requested by the Transfer Agent. Thereafter, the Partnership shall take commercially reasonable steps to complete the conversion in accordance with this Section 5.12(c). In the case of any Certificate representing Convertible Class B Units
which are converted in part only, upon such conversion the Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the holder of Convertible Class B Units thereof, at the expense of the Partnership, a new Certificate representing the number of Convertible
Class B Units not so converted. 

  
 4 








 (ii) Upon conversion, the rights of a holder of converted Convertible Class
B Units as holder of Convertible Class B Units shall cease with respect to such converted Convertible Class B Units, including any rights under this Agreement with respect to holders of Convertible Class B Units, and such Person shall continue to be
a Limited Partner and have the rights of a holder of Common Units under this Agreement with respect to the Common Units received in such conversion. Each Convertible Class B Unit shall, upon its Conversion Date, be deemed to be transferred to, and
cancelled by, the Partnership in exchange for the issuance of the Common Unit into which such Convertible Class B Unit converted. 
 (iii) The Partnership shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of Common Units upon conversion of the Convertible Class B Units.
However, the holder shall pay any tax or duty that may be payable relating to any transfer involving the issuance or delivery of Common Units in a name other than the holder’s name. The Transfer Agent may refuse to deliver the Certificate
representing Common Units (or notation of book entry) being issued in a name other than the holder’s name until the Transfer Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duties which will be due because the Common Units are to be issued in
a name other than the holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation. 
 (iv) (A) The Partnership shall keep free from preemptive rights a sufficient number of Common Units to permit the conversion of all Outstanding Convertible Class B Units into Common Units to the extent
provided in, and in accordance with, this Section 5.12(c). 
 (B) All Common Units delivered upon conversion
of the Convertible Class B Units shall be newly issued, shall be duly authorized and validly issued, and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim. 

(C) The Partnership shall comply with all applicable securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of any Common Units
upon conversion of Convertible Class B Units and, if the Common Units are then listed or quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, or any other National Securities Exchange or other market, shall list or cause to have quoted and keep listed and quoted
the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Class B Units to the extent permitted or required by the rules of such exchange or market. 
 (D) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall give to any holder of Convertible Class B Units any rights as a creditor in respect of its right to conversion. 

  
 5 








 (d) Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
during the period commencing upon issuance of the Convertible Class B Units and ending on the Convertible Class B Conversion Date, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, including Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss to be
allocated to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1(c), shall be allocated to the Convertible Class B Units to the same extent as such items would be so allocated if such Convertible Class B Units were Common Units that were then Outstanding.

 (e) Distributions. 

(i) Prior to the Class B Conversion Date, the Convertible Class B Units shall not be entitled to receive distributions of
Available Cash pursuant to Section 6.3(a). Convertible Class B Units shall receive distributions of paid-in-kind additional Convertible Class B Units (such distribution, a “Convertible Class B Unit Distribution”) for each
distribution period that distributions are made with respect to Common Units, including distributions for Common Unit Arrearages. The number of Units to be issued in connection with a Convertible Class B Unit Distribution shall be the quotient of
(A) the amount of the distribution declared for the Common Units for the applicable distribution period divided by (B) the VWAP Price calculated as of the date such quarterly distribution on all Units is declared; provided that
instead of issuing any fractional Convertible Class B Units, the Partnership shall round the number of Convertible Class B Units issued down to the next lower whole Convertible Class B Unit and pay cash in lieu of such fractional units, or at
the Partnership’s option, the Partnership may round the number of Convertible Class B Units issued up to the next higher whole Convertible Class B Unit. Any Convertible Class B Units issued pursuant to this Section 5.12(e) shall have all
rights of a Convertible Class B Unit, including rights to distributions in any period subsequent to such Convertible Class B Unit issuance. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.12(e) to the contrary, with respect to Convertible Class B Units that are converted into Common Units, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to a
Convertible Class B Unit Distribution and a Common Unit distribution with respect to the same distribution period, but shall be entitled only to the distribution to be paid based upon the class of Units held as of the close of business on the
applicable Record Date. 
 (iii) For each Convertible Class B Unit Distribution, the Partnership shall issue the
Convertible Class B Units to such holder no later than the date the corresponding distributions are made on the Common Units for such distribution period. The Partnership shall issue to such holder of Convertible Class B Units by notation in book
entry form in the books of the Transfer Agent, or at the election of such holder, a physical certificate. 
 (iv)
Subject to and without limiting the other provisions of this Section 5.12, and subject to Section 12.4(c), each Convertible Class B Unit shall have the right to share in distributions of cash, securities or other property and in the form
of such cash, securities or other property (other than distributions pursuant to Section 6.3(a)) on a Pro Rata basis with the Common Units as if the Convertible Class B Units had converted to Common Units. 

  
 6 








 (f) Voting. The Convertible Class B Units will have such voting rights pursuant to
the Agreement as such Convertible Class B Units would have if they were Common Units that were then Outstanding and shall vote together with the Common Units as a single class, except that the Convertible Class B Units shall be entitled to vote as a
separate class on any matter on which Unitholders are entitled to vote that adversely affects the rights or preferences of the Convertible Class B Units in relation to other classes of Partnership Interests in any material respect or as required by
law. The approval of a majority of the Convertible Class B Units shall be required to approve any matter for which the holders of the Convertible Class B Units are entitled to vote as a separate class. 

(g) Merger and other Extraordinary Transactions. Subject to Section 12.4(c), if (1) there shall be (a) a statutory
unit exchange, consolidation, merger or combination involving the Partnership, other than a merger in which the Partnership is the continuing partnership and which does not result in any change (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination
pursuant Section 6.3(d)) in Outstanding Common Units; or (b) a sale or conveyance as an entirety or substantially as an entirety of the property and assets of the Partnership, directly or indirectly, to another Person; and
(2) pursuant to such statutory unit exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, Outstanding Common Units are converted or exchanged into or for stock (other than Common Units), other securities, other property, assets or
cash, then each Convertible Class B Unit (including the Convertible Class B Units issued as a distribution) shall, as a condition precedent to such statutory unit exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, be converted into a
Common Unit on a one-for-one basis; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Unitholder shall receive consideration which is greater in amount than the balance of such Unitholder’s Capital Account after taking into account all
adjustments, including allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction through the date of such merger or other extraordinary transaction. 
 (h) Convertible Class B Minority Protection. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Partnership shall not take any action that adversely affects any of the rights, preferences or
privileges of the Convertible Class B Units. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, until all Convertible Class B Units are converted pursuant to Section 5.12(c), the Partnership shall not issue any equity securities (other than
Common Units, the Subordinated Class C Units being issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and any additional General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 5.2(b)) unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Convertible Class B
Units approve such issuance.

 4. Article V is hereby amended to add a new Section 5.13 as follows: 

Section 5.13 Establishment of Subordinated Class C Units 
 (a) The General Partner hereby designates and creates a series of Units to be designated as “Subordinated Class C Units,” having the terms and conditions set forth herein. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, the Subordinated Class C Units shall be treated as if such Subordinated Class C Units were Common Units that were then Outstanding. 
 (b) The holders of the Subordinated Class C Units shall have rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, including the right to share in any liquidating distributions pursuant to
Section 12.4, in accordance with Article XII. 
 (c) Conversion of Subordinated Class C Units 

(i) The Subordinated Class C Units shall not have the privilege of conversion as set forth in Section 5.7 of this
Agreement (and Section 5.7 shall not apply to Subordinated Class C Units), rather, subject to Section 6.11, effective on the business day after the record date for the distribution on Common Units for the fiscal quarter ending
December 31, 2013, each Subordinated Class C Unit shall become convertible at the election of the holder thereof or the Partnership into a Common Unit on a one-for-one basis by delivery of written notice to the Partnership or the holder
thereof, as applicable, setting forth the number of Subordinated Class C Units held by the holder, the number of Subordinated Class C Units it is electing to convert, and other applicable information as may be reasonably requested by the Partnership
or the holder thereof, as applicable (such date on which a holder or the Partnership elects to convert a Subordinated Class C Unit, a “Subordinated Class C Conversion Date”). If such Subordinated Class C Units are Certificated, a
Subordinated Class C Unit Certificate shall be delivered by the holder to the Transfer Agent representing an amount of Subordinated Class C Units at least equal to the amount such holder or the Partnership, as applicable, is electing to convert (or
an instruction letter shall be delivered by the holder to the Transfer Agent if the Subordinated Class C Units are in book-entry form), together with such additional information as may be requested by the Transfer Agent. Thereafter, the Partnership
shall take commercially reasonable steps to complete the conversion in accordance with this Section 5.13(c). In the case of any Certificate representing Subordinated Class C Units which are converted in part only, upon such conversion the
Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the holder of Subordinated Class C Units thereof, at the expense of the Partnership, a new Certificate representing the number of Subordinated Class C Units not so converted. 

(ii) Upon conversion, the rights of a holder of converted Subordinated Class C Units as holder of Subordinated Class C
Units shall cease with respect to such converted Subordinated Class C Units, including any rights under this Agreement with respect to holders of Subordinated Class C Units, and such Person shall continue to be a Limited Partner and have the rights
of a holder of Common Units under this Agreement with respect to the Common Units received in such conversion. Each Subordinated Class C Unit shall, upon its Conversion Date, be deemed to be transferred to, and cancelled by, the Partnership in
exchange for the issuance of the Common Unit into which such Subordinated Class C Unit converted. 

  
 8 








 (iii) The Partnership shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or
transfer taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of Common Units upon conversion of the Subordinated Class C Units. However, the holder shall pay any tax or duty that may be payable relating to any transfer involving the issuance or
delivery of Common Units in a name other than the holder’s name. The Transfer Agent may refuse to deliver the Certificate representing Common Units (or notation of book entry) being issued in a name other than the holder’s name until the
Transfer Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duties which will be due because the Common Units are to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or
regulation. 
 (iv) (A) The Partnership shall keep free from preemptive rights a sufficient number of Common
Units to permit the conversion of all Outstanding Subordinated Class C Units into Common Units to the extent provided in, and in accordance with, this Section 5.13(c). 

(B) All Common Units delivered upon conversion of the Subordinated Class C Units shall be newly issued, shall be duly
authorized and validly issued, and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim. 

(C) The Partnership shall comply with all applicable securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of any Common Units
upon conversion of Subordinated Class C Units and, if the Common Units are then listed or quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, or any other National Securities Exchange or other market, shall list or cause to have quoted and keep listed and quoted
the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the Subordinated Class C Units to the extent permitted or required by the rules of such exchange or market. 
 (D) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall give to any holder of Subordinated Class C Units any rights as a creditor in respect of its right to conversion. 

(d) Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, during the period commencing upon issuance of the Subordinated
Class C Units and ending on the Subordinated Class C Conversion Date, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, including Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss to be allocated to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1(c),
shall be allocated to the Subordinated Class C Units to the same extent as such items would be so allocated if such Subordinated Class C Units were Subordinated Units that were then Outstanding. 

(e) Distributions. 
 (i) Subordinated Class C Units shall be entitled to distributions as provided in Section 6.4 (the “Subordinated Class C Unit Distribution”). 

  
 9 








 (ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.13(e) to the contrary,
with respect to Subordinated Class C Units that are converted into Common Units, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to a Subordinated Class C Unit Distribution and a Common Unit distribution with respect to the same distribution period, but
shall be entitled only to the distribution to be paid based upon the class of Units held as of the close of business on the applicable Record Date. 
 (iii) Subject to and without limiting the other provisions of this Section 5.13, and subject to Section 12.4(c), each Subordinated Class C Unit shall have the right to share in distributions of
cash, securities or other property and in the form of such cash, securities or other property (other than distributions pursuant to Section 6.3(a)) on a Pro Rata basis with the Common Units as if the Subordinated Class C Units had converted to

such Subordinated Class C Units would have if they were Common Units that were then Outstanding and shall vote together with the Common Units as a single class, except that the Subordinated Class C Units shall be entitled to vote as a separate class
on any matter on which Unitholders are entitled to vote that adversely affects the rights or preferences of the Subordinated Class C Units in relation to other classes of Partnership Interests in any material respect or as required by law. The
approval of a majority of the Subordinated Class C Units shall be required to approve any matter for which the holders of the Subordinated Class C Units are entitled to vote as a separate class. 

(g) Merger and other Extraordinary Transactions. Subject to Section 12.4(c), if (1) there shall be (a) a statutory
unit exchange, consolidation, merger or combination involving the Partnership, other than a merger in which the Partnership is the continuing partnership and which does not result in any change (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination
pursuant Section 6.3(e)) in Outstanding Common Units; or (b) a sale or conveyance as an entirety or substantially as an entirety of the property and assets of the Partnership, directly or indirectly, to another Person; and
(2) pursuant to such statutory unit exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, Outstanding Common Units are converted or exchanged into or for stock (other than Common Units), other securities, other property, assets or
cash, then each Subordinated Class C Unit shall, as a condition precedent to such statutory unit exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, be converted into a Common Unit on a one-for-one basis; provided, however,
notwithstanding the foregoing, no Unitholder shall receive consideration which is greater in amount than the balance of such Unitholder’s Capital Account after taking into account all adjustments, including allocations of income, gain, loss and
deduction through the date of such merger or other extraordinary transaction to achieve the intended result set forth in this Section 5.13(g). 
 (h) Subordinated Class C Minority Protection. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Partnership shall not take any action that adversely affects any of the rights, preferences or

 5. Article V is hereby amended to add a new Section 5.14 as follows: 

Section 5.14 Transfers of Convertible Class B Units and Subordinated Class C Units. The transfer of a Convertible Class B
Unit or a Subordinated Class C Unit shall be subject to Section 4.8, Section 6.1(d)(x)(D), Section 6.10 and Section 6.11. 
 6. Section 6.1(d) is hereby amended to amend and restate Section 6.1(d)(iii)(A) and to add new Sections 6.1(d)(iii)(C), (D) and (E)as follows: 

(A) If the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of any property distributed (except cash or property distributed
pursuant to Section 5.12 or Section 12.4) with respect to a Unit (other than a Convertible Class B Unit) exceeds the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of property distributed with respect to another Unit (the amount of the excess, an
“Excess Distribution” and the Unit with respect to which the greater distribution is paid, an “Excess Distribution Unit”), then (1) there shall be allocated gross income and gain to each Unitholder receiving an
Excess Distribution with respect to the Excess Distribution Unit until the aggregate amount of such items allocated with respect to such Excess Distribution Unit pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(iii)(A) for the current taxable period and all
previous taxable periods is equal to the amount of the Excess Distribution; and (2) the General Partner shall be allocated gross income and gain with respect to each such Excess Distribution in an amount equal to the product obtained by
multiplying (aa) the quotient determined by dividing (x) the General Partner’s Percentage Interest at the time when the Excess Distribution occurs by (y) a percentage equal to 100% less the General Partner’s Percentage Interest
at the time when the Excess Distribution occurs, times (bb) the total amount allocated in clause (1) above with respect to such Excess Distribution. 
 (C) With respect to the first taxable period of the Partnership ending upon, or after, the date of issuance of the Convertible Class B Units, and each taxable period of the Partnership thereafter, items
of gross income, gain, loss or deduction for such taxable period shall be allocated among the Partners in such a manner as to cause the Per Unit Capital Amount of each Partner with respect to its Convertible Class B Units outstanding as of the time
of such event to equal, as closely as possible, the Per Unit Capital Amount for a then outstanding Common Unit. 

(D) With respect to the first taxable period of the Partnership ending upon, or after, the date of issuance of the
Subordinated Class C Units, items of gross income, gain, loss or deduction for such taxable period shall be allocated among the Partners in such a manner as to cause the Per Unit Capital Amount of each Partner with respect to its Subordinated Class
C Units to equal, as closely as possible, the Per Unit Capital Amount for a then outstanding Common Unit. 

  
 11 









 (E) With respect to any taxable period of the Partnership ending upon, or
after, a Convertible Class B Conversion Date or a Subordinated Class C Conversion Date, as applicable, and after the application of Section 6.1(d)(iii)(A), (B), (C) and (D), Net Income or Net Loss for such taxable period shall be allocated
among the Partners in such a manner as to cause the Per Unit Capital Amount of each Partner with respect to a Common Unit converted from a Convertible Class B Unit or a Common Unit converted from a Subordinated Class C Unit, as applicable, that is
outstanding as of the time of such event to equal, as closely as possible, the Per Unit Capital Amount for a then outstanding Common Unit. 
 7. Section 6.1(d) is hereby amended to amend and restate Section 6.1(d)(x)(D) as follows: 
 (D) For the proper administration of the Partnership and for the preservation of uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof), the General Partner shall (i) adopt
such conventions as it deems appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions; (ii) make special allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss; and
(iii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (x) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) or Section 704(c) of the Code or (y) otherwise to preserve or achieve
uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof). The General Partner may adopt such conventions, make such allocations and make such amendments to this Agreement as provided in this Section 6.1(d)(x)(D) only if
such conventions, allocations or amendments would not have a material adverse effect on the Partners, the holders of any class or classes of Limited Partner Interests issued and Outstanding or the Partnership, and if such allocations are consistent
with the principles of Section 704 of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the CMO Common Unit Price of the CMO Common Units is less than the trading price of the Common Units of the Partnership on the New York Stock
Exchange as of the Closing Date (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), the General Partner intends to specially allocate items of gross income, gain, loss or deduction to the Unit Purchasers so that the Per Unit Capital Amount with respect to a
CMO Common Unit is equal to the Per Unit Capital Amount of a then outstanding Common Unit (and thus to assure fungibility of all Common Units). 
 8. Article VI is hereby amended to add a new Section 6.3(d) as follows: 
 (d)
For the avoidance of doubt, upon any pro rata distribution of Partnership Interests to all Record Holders of Common Units or any subdivision or combination (or reclassified into a greater or smaller number) of Common Units, the Partnership
will proportionately adjust the number of Convertible Class B Units as follows: (a) if the 

  
 12 









 
Partnership issues Partnership Interests as a distribution on its Common Units or subdivides the Common Units (or reclassifies them into a greater number of Common Units) then the Convertible
Class B Units shall be subdivided into a number of Convertible Class B Units equal to the result of multiplying the number of Convertible Class B Units by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of Common Units
Outstanding immediately prior to such distribution or subdivision plus the total number of Partnership Interests constituting such distribution or newly created by such subdivision; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Common
Units Outstanding immediately prior to such distribution or subdivision; and (b) if the Partnership combines the Common Units (or reclassifies them into a smaller number of Common Units) then the Convertible Class B Units shall be combined into
a number of Convertible Class B Units equal to the result of multiplying the number of Convertible Class B Units by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of Common Units Outstanding immediately following such
combination; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Units Outstanding immediately prior to such combination. 
 9. Article VI is hereby amended to add a new Section 6.3(e) as follows: 
 (e) For the avoidance of doubt, upon any pro rata distribution of Partnership Interests to all Record Holders of Common Units or any subdivision or combination (or reclassified into a greater or
smaller number) of Common Units, the Partnership will proportionately adjust the number of Subordinated Class C Units as follows: (a) if the Partnership issues Partnership Interests as a distribution on its Common Units or subdivides the Common
Units (or reclassifies them into a greater number of Common Units) then the Subordinated Class C Units shall be subdivided into a number of Subordinated Class C Units equal to the result of multiplying the number of Subordinated Class C Units by a
fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of Common Units Outstanding immediately prior to such distribution or subdivision plus the total number of Partnership Interests constituting such distribution or newly created
by such subdivision; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Units Outstanding immediately prior to such distribution or subdivision; and (b) if the Partnership combines the Common Units (or reclassifies them into a
smaller number of Common Units) then the Subordinated Class C Units shall be combined into a number of Subordinated Class C Units equal to the result of multiplying the number of Subordinated Class C Units by a fraction, (A) the numerator of
which shall be the sum of the number of Common Units Outstanding immediately following such combination; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Units Outstanding immediately prior to such combination. 

10. Section 6.4 is hereby amended and restated as follows: 
 Section 6.4 Distributions of Available Cash from Operating Surplus. 
 (a) During Subordination Period. Available Cash with respect to any Quarter within the Subordination Period that is deemed to be Operating Surplus pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.3 or

(iv) Fourth, to the General Partner and all Unitholders, Pro Rata, until there has been distributed in respect of each
Unit then Outstanding an amount equal to the excess of the First Target Distribution over the Minimum Quarterly Distribution for such Quarter;

in a firm commitment underwritten public offering of Common Units in which the Holders of Registrable Securities include Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(b), or (2) the Partnership is currently engaged in a self-tender or

that the inclusion of all of the Demand Eligible Holders’ Registrable Securities in the subject Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the timing or success of the offering, then the Partnership shall so advise all
Demand Eligible Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Demand Eligible Holders of such
Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Demand Eligible Holders (including the Initiating Holders). Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be
withdrawn from the registration.

Partnership Securities for sale for its own account or for the account of any other Person; provided that if the managing underwriter for the offering determines that the number of Partnership Securities proposed to be offered in such
offering would have a material adverse effect on the timing or success of such offering, then the Registrable Securities to be sold by the Demand Eligible Holders shall be included in such registration before any Partnership Securities proposed to
be sold for the account of the Partnership or any other Person.

such purpose pursuant to the Securities Act) and if the Partnership becomes, and is at the time of its receipt of a Demand Notice, a WKSI, the Demand Registration for any offering and selling of Registrable Securities through a firm commitment
underwriting shall be effected pursuant to an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, which shall be on Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form under the Securities Act (if available to the Partnership); provided, however, that if
at any time a Registration Statement on Form S-3 is effective and a Holder provides written notice to the Partnership that it intends to effect an offering of all or part of the Registrable Securities included on such Registration Statement, the
Partnership will amend or supplement such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such offering to take place. 
 (x) Without limiting Section 3, in connection with any Demand Registration pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2(a), the Partnership shall, (A) promptly prepare and file or
cause to be prepared and filed (1) such additional forms, amendments, supplements, prospectuses, certificates, letters, opinions and other documents, as may be necessary or advisable to register or qualify the securities subject to such Demand
Registration, including under the securities laws of such states as the Demand Eligible Holders shall reasonably request; provided, however, that no such qualification shall be required in any jurisdiction where, as a result thereof,
the Partnership would become subject to general service of process or to taxation or qualification to do business in such jurisdiction solely as a result of registration and (2) such forms, amendments, supplements, prospectuses, certificates,
letters, opinions and other documents as may be necessary to apply for listing or to list the Registrable Securities subject to such Demand Registration on the Trading Market and (B) do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or
appropriate or reasonably requested by the Demand Eligible Holders to enable such Holders to consummate a public sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended timing and method or methods of distribution thereof. 

(xi) In the event a Holder transfers Registrable Securities included on a Registration Statement and such Registrable
Securities remain Registrable Securities following such transfer, at the request of such Holder, the Partnership shall amend or supplement such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such transferee to offer and sell such
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. 
 (xii) The Partnership shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to become eligible to use Form S-3 and, after becoming eligible to use Form S-3, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remain eligible to use Form S-3, including by timely filing all reports with the Commission and meeting
the other requirements of the Exchange Act.

 (b) Piggyback Registration. 

(i) If the Partnership shall at any time propose to file a Registration Statement, other than pursuant to any Demand
Registration, for an offering of Partnership Securities for cash (whether in connection with a public offering of Partnership Securities by the Partnership, a public offering of Partnership Securities by unitholders, or both, but excluding an
offering relating solely to an employee benefit plan, an offering relating to a transaction on Form S-4 or an offering on any registration statement form that does not permit secondary sales), the Partnership shall promptly notify all Holders
eligible to participate in such offering (each a “Piggyback Eligible Holder”) of such proposal reasonably in advance of (and in any event at least two (2) Trading Days before) the anticipated filing date (the
“Piggyback Notice”). The Piggyback Notice shall offer the Piggyback Eligible Holders the opportunity to include for registration in such Registration Statement the number of Registrable Securities as they may request (a
“Piggyback Registration”). The Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include in each such Piggyback Registration such Registrable Securities for which the Partnership has received written requests from
Piggyback Eligible Holders within three (3) days after mailing of the Piggyback Notice (“Piggyback Request”) for inclusion therein. If a Piggyback Eligible Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities
in any Registration Statement thereafter filed by the Partnership, such Piggyback Eligible Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements
as may be filed by the Partnership with respect to offerings of Partnership Securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2(b)(i) to the contrary, Williams shall not be eligible to participate in a Piggyback Registration during the Preference Period. 

(iii) If the Registration Statement under which the Partnership gives notice under Section 2(b)(i) is for an
underwritten offering, the Partnership shall so advise the Piggyback Eligible Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Piggyback Eligible Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall
be conditioned upon such Piggyback Eligible Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Piggyback Eligible Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Piggyback Eligible
Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Partnership. If the
managing underwriter or managing underwriters of such offering advise the Partnership and the Piggyback Eligible Holders in writing that in their reasonable opinion that the inclusion of all of the Piggyback Eligible Holders’ Registrable
Securities in the subject Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the timing or success of the offering, the Partnership shall include in such offering only that number or amount, if any, of Registrable Securities held by the
Piggyback Eligible Holders that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriter or managing underwriters, will not have a material adverse effect on the timing or success of the offering, with any reduction in the amount of Registrable
Securities to be registered applied pro-rata among all Piggyback Eligible Holders desiring to register Registrable Securities based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by 

  
 11 









 
each such Piggyback Eligible Holder of the class (or classes) for which registration is being sought and, as to any other holders of Partnership Securities who may be seeking to register such
Partnership Securities, with such reduction applied first, subject to the rights of any holder that has priority by virtue of an any agreement approved in accordance with Section 2(f) below, to the amount of Partnership Securities sought to be
registered by such other holders. If any Piggyback Eligible Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Piggyback Eligible Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Partnership and the managing underwriter(s)
delivered on or prior to the time of pricing of such offering. Any Registrable Securities withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Piggyback Eligible Holder that is a partnership, limited
liability company, corporation or other entity, the partners, members, stockholders, subsidiaries, parents and Affiliates of such Piggyback Eligible Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners/members and retired partners/members
and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “Piggyback Eligible Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Piggyback Eligible Holder” shall be based upon the
aggregate amount of securities carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Piggyback Eligible Holder,” as defined in this sentence. 

(iv) The Partnership shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this
Section 2(b) prior to the Effective Date of such Registration Statement whether or not any Piggyback Eligible Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement. The registration expenses of such withdrawn
registration shall be borne by the Partnership in accordance with Section 4 hereof. 
 (c) All registration
rights granted under this Section 2 shall continue to be applicable with respect to any Holder for so long as may be required for each such Holder to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder (without any limitation on volume,
timing, recipients or intended method or methods of distribution, including through the use of an underwriter, that would not be applicable with a registration under the Securities Act). 

(d) Any Demand Notice or Piggyback Request shall (i) specify the Registrable Securities intended to be offered and
sold by the Holder making the request, (ii) express such Holder’s present intent to offer such Registrable Securities for distribution, (iii) describe the nature or method of the proposed offer and sale of Registrable Securities and
(iv) contain the undertaking of such Holder to provide all such information and materials and take all action as may reasonably be required in order to permit the Partnership to comply with all applicable requirements in connection with the
registration of such Registrable Securities. 
 (e) No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2. 

  
 12 









 (f) The Partnership has not entered into and, unless agreed in writing by
each of the Sponsors and any Special Successor, on or after the date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement which (a) is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders with respect to Registrable Securities in this Agreement
or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof in any material respect or (b) other than as set forth in this Agreement, would allow any holder of Partnership Securities to include Partnership Securities in any Registration Statement filed
by the Partnership on a basis that is superior or more favorable in any material respect to the rights granted to the Holders hereunder. 
 3. Registration Procedures. 
 The procedures to be followed by the
Partnership and each Holder selling Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement, and the respective rights and obligations of the Partnership and such Holders, with respect to the preparation, filing and
effectiveness of such Registration Statement, are as follows: 
 (a) The Partnership will, at least three (3) days prior to
the anticipated filing of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than amendments and supplements that do nothing more than name Holders and provide information with respect thereto),
(i) unless available to the Holders through public filings with the Commission, furnish to such Holders copies of all such documents proposed to be filed and (ii) use its reasonable efforts to address in each such document when so filed
with the Commission such comments as such a Sponsor or Special Successor reasonably shall propose within two (2) days of the delivery of such copies to the Sponsors and Special Successors. 

(b) The Partnership will use commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as reasonably possible (i) prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary under applicable law to keep such Registration Statement continuously
effective with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered thereby for its Effectiveness Period and, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration
Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so
supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; and (iii) respond to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible provide such
Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement that pertains to such Holders as selling Holders but not any comments that would result in the disclosure to such Holders of
material and non-public information concerning the Partnership. 
 (c) The Partnership will comply in all material respects with
the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the Registration Statements and the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement. 

  
 13 









 (d) The Partnership will notify such Holders as promptly as reasonably practicable: (i)(A)
when a Prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Partnership whether there will be a “review” of such
Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (in which case the Partnership shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of such Holders that
pertain to such Holders as selling Holders, but not information which the Partnership believes would constitute material and non-public information); and (C) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto,
when the same has been declared effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information that
pertains to such Holders as sellers of Registrable Securities; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the
initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Partnership of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of (but not the nature or details concerning) any event or passage of time that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement
or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided, however, that no notice by the Partnership shall be required pursuant to this clause (v) in the event that the Partnership either promptly files a prospectus
supplement to update the Prospectus or a Form 8-K or other appropriate Exchange Act report that is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, which in either case, contains the requisite information that results in such Registration
Statement no longer containing any untrue statement of material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading). 

(e) The Partnership will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of
(i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest
practicable moment, or if any such order or suspension is made effective during any Suspension Period, at the earliest practicable moment after the Suspension Period is over. 
 (f) During the Effectiveness Period, the Partnership will furnish to each such Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all
exhibits to the extent requested by such Holder (including those incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, that the Partnership will not have any obligation to provide any document
pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system. 

  
 14 









 (g) The Partnership will promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of
each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request during the Effectiveness Period. The Partnership consents to the use of such Prospectus and each
amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto. 

(h) The Partnership will cooperate with such Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends indicating that the Registrable Securities are unregistered or unqualified for resale under the
Securities Act, Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request in writing. In connection therewith, if required by
the Partnership’s transfer agent, the Partnership will promptly, after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be delivered to and maintained with
its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without any such legend upon sale by the Holder
of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. 
 (i) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by
Section 3(d)(v), as promptly as reasonably possible, the Partnership will prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, if required by applicable law, to the affected Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

(j) Such Holders may distribute the Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering; provided that (i) such
Holders provide written notice to the Partnership of their intention to distribute Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering, (ii) the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such
registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein, (iii) the managing underwriter or
managing underwriters thereof shall be designated by the Initiating Holder in the case of a Demand Registration (provided, however, that such designated managing underwriter or managing underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to
the Partnership) or by the Partnership in the case of a registration initiated by the Partnership, (iv) each Holder participating in such underwritten offering agrees to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form and sell such
Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled to select the managing underwriter or managing underwriters hereunder and (v) each Holder participating in such
underwritten offering completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, 

  
 15 









 
underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. The Partnership hereby agrees with each Holder that, in connection with any
underwritten offering in accordance with the terms hereof, it will negotiate in good faith and execute all indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, including
using all commercially reasonable efforts to procure customary legal opinions and auditor “comfort” letters. 
 (k) In
the event such Holders seek to complete an underwritten offering, for a reasonable period prior to the filing of any Registration Statement and throughout the Effectiveness Period, the Partnership will make available upon reasonable notice at the
Partnership’s principal place of business or such other reasonable place for inspection by the managing underwriter or managing underwriters selected in accordance with Section 3(j) such financial and other information and books and
records of the Partnership, and cause the officers, employees, counsel and independent certified public accountants of the Partnership to respond to such inquiries, as shall be reasonably necessary (and in the case of counsel, not violate an
attorney-client privilege in such counsel’s reasonable belief) to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act. 
 (l) In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Partnership will take all commercially reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable in order to
expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities by such Holders, including using commercially reasonable efforts to cause appropriate officers and employees to be available, on a customary basis and upon reasonable notice, to meet
with prospective investors in presentations, meetings and road shows. 
 4. Registration Expenses. All
Registration Expenses incident to the Parties’ performance of or compliance with their respective obligations under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration (excluding any Selling
Expenses) shall be borne by the Partnership, whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. “Registration Expenses” shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and
filing fees (including fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with the Trading Market and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws), (ii) printing expenses (including
expenses of printing certificates for Partnership Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger,
telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel, auditors and accountants for the Partnership, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Partnership so desires such insurance and (vi) fees and expenses of
all other Persons retained by the Partnership in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Partnership shall be responsible for all of its expenses incurred in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including expenses payable to third parties and including all salaries and expenses of their officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual
audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on the Trading Market. 

  
 16 









 5. Indemnification. If requested by a Holder, the Partnership shall indemnify
and hold harmless each underwriter, if any, engaged in connection with any registration referred to in Section 2 and provide representations, covenants, opinions and other assurances to any underwriter in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to such underwriter and the Partnership. Further, in addition to and not in limitation of the Partnership’s obligations under Section 7.7 of the LP Agreement, the Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its
Affiliates and each of their respective officers and directors and any Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any agent thereof (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, costs (including reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, judgments, fines, penalties,
interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnified Person may be involved, or is threatened to be
involved, as a party or otherwise, under the Securities Act or otherwise (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement under which any Registrable Securities were registered, in any preliminary prospectus (if used prior to the Effective Date of such Registration Statement), or in any summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus or in
any amendment or supplement thereto (if used during the period the Partnership is required to keep the Registration Statement current), or arising out of, based upon or resulting from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person
to the extent that any such claim arises out of, is based upon or results from an untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, such preliminary, summary or final prospectus or free writing
prospectus or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person specifically for use in the preparation thereof. The Partnership shall
notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Partnership is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this
Section 5 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement indefinitely. 
 6. Facilitation of Sales
Pursuant to Rule 144. To the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Partnership shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under
Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144), and shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell
Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder in connection with that Holder’s sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Partnership
shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 

  
 17 









 7. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Partnership of any of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition
to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Partnership agrees that monetary damages would not
provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the
defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
 (b) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of
Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Partnership of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in clauses (ii) through (v) of Section 3(d), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such
Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemental Prospectus or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing by the Partnership that the use of the
applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The
Partnership may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this Section 7(b). 
 (c) Amendments and
Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Parties. The Partnership shall provide prior notice to all Holders of any proposed waiver or amendment. No waiver of any default with
respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any
delay or omission of any Party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. 
 (d)
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice
or communication is delivered via facsimile or electronic mail as specified in this Section 7(d) prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on a Business Day, (ii) the Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or
communication is delivered via facsimile or electronic mail as specified in this Agreement later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on such date, (iii) the Business Day
following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as follows:

(e) Successors and Assigns. 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. Except as provided in this Section 7(e), this Agreement, and any rights or obligations hereunder, may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the
Partnership and the Sponsors and any Special Successors. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the registration rights of a Holder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to all or any portion of its Registrable Securities may
be assigned without such consent (but only with all related obligations) with respect to such Registrable Securities (and any Registrable Securities issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, in exchange for or in replacement of
such Registrable Securities) by such Holder to a transferee of such Registrable Securities; provided (i) the Partnership is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such
transferee or assignee and the Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (ii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement.
The Partnership may not assign its respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of the Sponsors and any Special Successors. 
 (f) “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. In connection with any underwritten offering of Partnership Securities, each Holder holding five percent (5%) or more of the Partnership’s
voting securities (each a “5% Holder”) hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same
economic effect as a sale of, any Partnership Securities held by such Holder (other than those included in such offering) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Partnership Securities not to exceed ninety (90) days
following the closing date of the offering of Partnership Securities (the “Stand-Off Period”); provided that all officers and directors of the General Partner and holders of at least five percent (5%) of the
Partnership’s voting securities enter into similar agreements and only if such Persons remain subject thereto (and are not released from such agreement) for such Stand-Off Period. Each 5% Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other
agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Partnership or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Partnership or the


  
 20 









 
representative of the underwriters of Partnership Securities, each Holder shall provide, within three (3) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Partnership or such
representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Partnership Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement. The obligations described in this Section 7(f) shall not apply to a registration relating solely to
employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Partnership may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to Common Units (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the Stand-Off Period. 
 (g) Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile or electronic mail transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the Party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such signature delivered by facsimile or electronic mail transmission were the original thereof. 
 (h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of law. 

(i) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and any appellate court from and thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for the recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and
each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Delaware court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court.
