        (a)   If
a Holdings Entity becomes aware of an opportunity to acquire Subject Assets with a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors or other
comparable governing body of such Holdings Entity with the concurrence of the Holdings' Conflict Committee) equal to or greater than $5 million that it is interested in pursuing, then, subject
to Section 2.3(b), as soon as practicable thereafter, such Holdings Entity shall notify the MLP General Partner, in writing, of such opportunity and deliver to the MLP General Partner all
information prepared by or on behalf of such Holdings Entity relating to such opportunity. As soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after receipt of such written notification and
information, the MLP General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, shall notify the Holdings General Partner, in writing, that either (i) the MLP General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership,
has elected (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee) not to cause a Partnership Group Member to pursue the opportunity to purchase the Subject Assets, or (ii) the MLP General Partner,
on behalf of the Partnership, has elected (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee) to cause a Partnership Group Member to pursue the opportunity to purchase the Subject Assets. If, at any
time, the MLP General Partner abandons such opportunity with the approval of the Conflicts Committee (as evidenced in writing by the MLP General Partner following the request of the Holdings
Entities), the Holdings Entities may pursue such opportunity. Any Subject Assets that are permitted to be acquired by a Holdings Entity must be so acquired (i) within 12 months of the

which all required governmental approvals to consummate such acquisition have been obtained, and (ii) on terms not more favorable in any material respect to the Holdings Entity than were
offered to the Partnership. If either of these conditions are not satisfied, the opportunity must be reoffered to the Partnership in accordance with this Section 2.3(a). 

5

 

        (b)   Notwithstanding
Section 2.3(a), in the event that a Holdings Entity becomes aware of an opportunity to make an acquisition that includes both Subject Assets and
assets that are not Subject Assets and the Subject Assets have a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors or other comparable governing body of such Holdings Entity)
equal to or greater than $5 million but comprise less than half of the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors or other comparable governing body of such
Holdings Entity with the concurrence of the Holdings' Conflict Committee) of the total assets being considered for acquisition, then the Holdings Entity may make such acquisition without first
offering the opportunity to the Partnership as long as it complies with the following procedures: 

        (i)    Within
90 days after the consummation of such an acquisition, the Holdings Entity shall notify the MLP General Partner in writing of such acquisition and offer
the Partnership Group the opportunity to purchase such Subject Assets in accordance with this Section 2.3(b) (the "Offer"). The Offer shall set
forth the terms relating to the purchase of the Subject Assets and, if any Holdings Entity desires to utilize the Subject Assets, the Offer will also include the commercially reasonable terms on which
the Partnership Group will provide services to the Holdings Entity to enable the Holdings Entity to utilize the Subject Assets. As soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after
receipt of such written notification, the MLP General Partner shall notify the Holdings General Partner in writing that either (x) the MLP General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has
elected (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee) not to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event the Holdings Entities shall be forever free to continue
to own or operate such Subject Assets, or (y) the MLP General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has elected (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee) to cause a Partnership Group
Member to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event the procedures in subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) below shall apply. 

        (ii)   If
the Holdings General Partner (with the concurrence of the Holdings' Conflict Committee) and the MLP General Partner (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee)
within 60 days after receipt by the MLP General Partner of the Offer are able to agree on the fair market value of the Subject Assets that are subject to the Offer and the other terms of the
Offer including, without limitation, the terms, if any, on which the Partnership Group will provide services to the Holdings Entities to enable them to utilize the Subject Assets, a Partnership Group
Member shall purchase the Subject Assets for the agreed upon fair market value as soon as commercially practicable after such agreement has been reached and, if applicable enter into an agreement with
the Holdings Entities to provide services in a manner consistent with the Offer. 

        (iii)  If
the Holdings General Partner (with the concurrence of the Holdings' Conflict Committee) and the MLP General Partner (with the concurrence of the Conflicts
Committee) are unable to agree within 60 days after receipt by the MLP General Partner of the Offer on the fair market value of the Subject Assets that are subject to the Offer or the other
terms of the Offer including, if applicable, the terms on which the Partnership Group will provide services to the Holdings Entities to enable it to utilize the Subject Assets, the Holdings General
Partner and the MLP General Partner will engage a mutually agreed upon investment banking firm to determine the fair market value of the Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the MLP General
Partner and the Holdings General Partner are unable to agree. Such investment banking firm will determine the fair market value of the Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the MLP General
Partner and the Holdings General Partner are unable to agree within 30 days of its engagement and furnish the Holdings Entities and the MLP General Partner its determination. The fees of the
investment banking firm will be split equally between the Holdings Entities and the Partnership Group. Once the investment 

6

 

banking
firm has submitted its determination of the fair market value of the Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the MLP General Partner and the Holdings General Partner are unable to
agree, the MLP General Partner will have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the approval of the Conflicts Committee, to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets
pursuant to the Offer as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm. The Partnership Group Member will provide written notice of its decision to the Holdings General Partner within
30 days after the investment banking firm has submitted its determination. Failure to provide such notice within such 30-day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision not to
purchase the Subject Assets. If the MLP General Partner elects to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, then the Partnership Group Member shall purchase the Subject Assets
pursuant to the Offer as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm as soon as commercially practicable after such determination and, if applicable, enter into an agreement with the
Holdings Entities to provide services in a manner consistent with the Offer, as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm, if applicable. 

        (c)   In
the event that a Holdings Entity desires to construct Subject Assets with an estimated Construction Cost (as determined in good faith by the board of directors or
other comparable governing body of such Holdings Entity with the concurrence of the Holdings' Conflict Committee) equal to or greater than $5 million, then the Holdings Entity may construct
such Subject Assets as long as it complies with the following procedures: 

        (i)    Within
90 days after the completion of construction by a Holdings Entity of the Subject Assets, the Holdings Entity shall notify the MLP General Partner in
writing of such construction and offer the Partnership Group the opportunity to purchase such Subject Assets in accordance with this Section 2.3(c) (the "Construction
Offer"). The Construction Offer shall set forth the Holdings Entity's good faith estimate of the actual Construction Cost for the Subject Assets incurred by the Holdings Entity
(the "Actual Construction Cost"), which shall constitute the proposed purchase price for the Subject Assets, together with the other proposed terms
relating to the purchase of the Subject Assets, and, if any Holdings Entities desire to utilize the Subject Assets, the Construction Offer will also include the commercially reasonable terms on which
the Partnership Group will provide services to the Holdings Entities to enable the Holdings Entities to utilize the Subject Assets. As soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after
receipt of such written notification, the MLP General Partner shall notify the Holdings General Partner in writing that either (x) the MLP General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has
elected (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee) not to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event the Holdings Entities shall be forever free to continue
to own or operate such Subject Assets, or (y) the MLP General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has elected (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee) to cause a Partnership Group
Member to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event the procedures in subparagraphs (ii) and (v) below shall apply. 

7

 

        (ii)   If
the Holdings General Partner (with the concurrence of the Holdings' Conflict Committee) and the MLP General Partner (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee)
within 60 days after receipt by the MLP General Partner of the Construction Offer are able to agree on the Actual Construction Cost of the Subject Assets that are subject to the Construction
Offer and the other terms ("Other Terms") of the Construction Offer including, without limitation, the terms, if any, on which the Partnership Group
will provide services to the Holdings Entities to enable it to utilize the Subject Assets, a Partnership Group Member shall purchase the Subject Assets for the agreed upon Actual Construction Cost as
soon as commercially practicable after such agreement has been reached and, if applicable, enter into an agreement with the Holdings Entities to provide services in a manner consistent with the
Construction Offer. 

        (iii)  If
the Holdings General Partner (with the concurrence of the Holdings' Conflict Committee) and the MLP General Partner (with the concurrence of the Conflicts
Committee) are unable to agree within 60 days after receipt by the MLP General Partner of the Construction Offer on the Actual Construction Cost of the Subject Assets that are subject to the
Construction Offer, the Holdings General Partner and the MLP General Partner will engage a mutually agreed upon nationally recognized accounting firm, other than any such accounting firm that has
served as either Person's independent auditors within the past three years, to determine the Actual Construction Cost of the Subject Assets. Such accounting firm will determine the Actual Construction
Cost of the Subject Assets within 30 days of its engagement and furnish the Holdings General Partner and the MLP General Partner its determination, which determination shall be a final and
binding determination of the Actual Construction Cost. The fees of the accounting firm will be split equally between the Holdings Entities and the Partnership Group. 

        (iv)  If
the Holdings General Partner and the MLP General Partner are unable to agree within 60 days after receipt by the MLP General Partner of the Construction Offer
on all of the Other Terms, the Holdings Entities and the MLP General Partner will obtain a good faith proposal from a mutually agreed upon third party engaged in the business to which such Other Terms
relate in order to determine the Other Terms on which the MLP General Partner and the Holdings General Partner are unable to agree. Such third party will submit a good faith proposal regarding the
Other Terms on which the MLP General Partner and the Holdings General Partner are unable to agree within 30 days of its engagement and furnish the Holdings General Partner and the MLP General
Partner its proposal, which determination shall be a final and binding determination of the Other Terms. The fees of the third party will be split equally between the Holdings Entities and the
Partnership Group. 

8

 

        (v)   Once
the Actual Construction Cost and the Other Terms have been finally determined pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the MLP General Partner
will have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the approval of the Conflicts Committee, to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets pursuant to the Construction Offer
as modified by the determination of the accounting firm and/or the third party submitting a proposal, as applicable. The Partnership Group Member will provide written notice of its decision to the
Holdings General Partner within 30 days after the later of the date on which the accounting firm and/or the third party submitting a proposal, as applicable, has submitted its determination.
Failure to provide such notice within such 30-day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision not to purchase the Subject Assets. If the MLP General Partner elects to cause a
Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, then the Partnership Group Member shall purchase the Subject Assets pursuant to the Construction Offer as modified by the determination of the
accounting firm and/or the third party submitting a proposal as soon as commercially practicable after such determination and, if applicable, enter into an agreement with the Holdings Entities to
provide services in a manner consistent with the Construction Offer, as modified by the determination of the third party submitting a proposal, if applicable. 

        2.4   Scope of Prohibition. Except as provided in this Article II and the MLP Partnership Agreement, each Holdings
Entity shall be free to engage in any business activity, including those that may be in direct competition with any Partnership Group Member. 

        2.5   Enforcement. Each Holdings Party agrees and acknowledges that the Partnership Group does not have an adequate remedy at
law for the breach by the Holdings Entities of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article II, and that any breach by any of the Holdings Entities of the covenants and agreements set
forth in this Article II would result in irreparable injury to the Partnership Group. Each Holdings Party further agrees and acknowledges that any Partnership Group Member may, in addition to
the other remedies which may be available to the Partnership Group, file a suit in equity to enjoin any of the Holdings Entities from such breach, and consents to the issuance of injunctive
relief under this Agreement. 

        2.6   Termination. This Article II shall terminate on the first day on which no Holdings Entity nor any combination of
Holdings Entities controls the Partnership.
