and authority to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to a Participant; (iii) determine the number of Units to be covered by Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any
Award; (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances Awards may be settled, exercised, canceled, or forfeited; (vi) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to an Award made under the
Plan; (vii) establish, amend, suspend, or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and (viii) make any other determination and take any other action

 SECTION 4. Units. 

(a) Limits on Units Deliverable. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), the number of Units that may be delivered
with respect to Awards under the Plan is Five Million Three Hundred Forty-One Thousand (5,341,000). If any Award is forfeited, cancelled, exercised, paid, or otherwise terminates or expires without the actual delivery of Units pursuant to such Award
(for the avoidance of doubt, the grant of Restricted Units is not a delivery of Units for this purpose unless and until such Restricted Units vest and any restrictions placed upon them under the Plan lapse), the Units subject to such Award shall
again be available for Awards under the Plan. To the extent permitted by applicable law and securities exchange rules, Substitute Awards and Units issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any
form of combination by the Partnership or any Affiliate thereof shall not be counted against the Units available for issuance pursuant to the Plan. There shall not be any limitation on the number of Awards that may be paid in cash. 

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

(c) Anti-dilution Adjustments. 
 (i) Equity Restructuring. With respect to any “equity restructuring” event that could result in an additional compensation expense to the Company or the Partnership pursuant to the
provisions of ASC Topic 718 if adjustments to Awards with respect to such event were discretionary, the Committee shall equitably adjust the number and type of Units covered by each outstanding Award and the terms and conditions, including the
exercise price and performance criteria (if any), of such Award to equitably reflect such event and shall adjust the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan after such
event. With respect to any other similar event that would not result in an ASC Topic 718 accounting charge if the adjustment to Awards with respect to such event were subject to discretionary action, the Committee shall have complete discretion to
adjust Awards and the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan in such manner as it deems appropriate with respect to such other event. 

(ii) Other Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any non-cash distribution, Unit split, combination or exchange of Units,
merger, consolidation or distribution (other than normal cash distributions) of Partnership assets to unitholders, or any other change affecting the Units of the Partnership, other than an “equity restructuring,” the Committee may make
equitable adjustments, if any, to reflect such change with respect to (A) the aggregate number and kind of Units that may be issued under the Plan; (B) the number and kind of Units (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding
Awards; (C) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto); and (D) the grant or exercise price per Unit for any outstanding Awards
under the Plan.

 SECTION 5. Eligibility. 

Any Employee, Consultant or Director shall be eligible to be designated a Participant and receive an Award under the Plan.

 (a) Options and UARs. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Options and/or UARs shall be granted, the number of Units to be covered by
each Option or UAR, the exercise price therefor, the Restricted Period and other conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option or UAR, including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, as
the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. Options which are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(A) and UARs which are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(B) or, in each case, any successor regulation, may be granted only if the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii), or any successor regulation, are satisfied. Options and UARs that are
otherwise exempt from or compliant with Section 409A may be granted to any eligible Employee, Consultant or Director. 
 (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Unit purchasable under an Option or subject to a UAR shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option or UAR is granted but, except with
respect to a Substitute Award, may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of the date of grant of the Option or UAR. 
 (ii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the exercise terms and any applicable Restricted Period with respect to an Option or UAR, which may include, without limitation,
provisions for accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals and/or other events, and the method or methods by which payment of the exercise price with respect to an Option or UAR may be made or deemed to have been made,
which may include, without limitation, cash, check acceptable to the Company, withholding Units having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price from the Award, a “cashless” exercise through procedures
approved by the Company, or any combination of the foregoing methods. 
 (iii) Exercise of Options and UARs on
Termination of Service. Each Option and UAR Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option or UAR following a termination of the Participant’s Service. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, if the Participant’s Service is terminated for cause (as such term may be defined in an Award Agreement or, otherwise, as may be determined by the Committee), the Participant’s right to exercise the Option or
UAR shall terminate as of the start of business on the effective date of the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, to the extent the Option or UAR is not vested and exercisable as of the termination of
Service, the Option or UAR shall terminate when the Participant’s Service terminates. 

  
 -7-

 (iv) Term of Options and UARs. The term of each Option and UAR shall
be stated in the Award Agreement, provided, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. 
 (b) Restricted Units and Phantom Units. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Restricted Units and/or Phantom Units shall be granted,
the number of Restricted Units or Phantom Units to be granted to each such Participant, the applicable Restricted Period, the conditions under which the Restricted Units or Phantom Units may become vested or forfeited and such other terms and
conditions, including, without limitation, restrictions on transferability, as the Committee may establish with respect to such Awards. 
 (i) Payment of Phantom Units. The Committee shall specify, or permit the Participant to elect in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, the conditions and dates or events upon which
the cash or Units underlying an award of Phantom Units shall be issued, which dates or events shall not be earlier than the date on which the Phantom Units vest and become nonforfeitable and which conditions and dates or events shall be subject to
compliance with Section 409A (unless the Phantom Units are exempt therefrom). 
 (ii) Vesting of
Restricted Units. Upon or as soon as reasonably practicable following the vesting of each Restricted Unit, subject to satisfying the tax withholding obligations of Section 8(b), the Participant shall be entitled to have the restrictions
removed from his or her Unit certificate (or book-entry account, as applicable) so that the Participant then holds an unrestricted Unit. 
 (c) DERs. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and/or Directors to whom DERs are granted, whether such DERs are tandem or separate Awards, whether the DERs
shall be paid directly to the Participant, be credited to a bookkeeping account (with or without interest in the discretion of the Committee), any vesting restrictions and payment provisions applicable to the DERs, and such other provisions or
restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion, all of which shall be specified in the applicable Award Agreements. Distributions in respect of DERs shall be credited as of the distribution dates during the period between the date an
Award is granted to a Participant and the date such Award vests, is exercised, is distributed or expires, as determined by the Committee. Such DERs shall be converted to cash, Units, Restricted Units and/or Phantom Units by such formula and at such
time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Committee. Tandem DERs may be subject to the same or different vesting restrictions as the tandem Award, or be subject to such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the
Committee in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DERs shall only be paid in a manner that is either exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A.

 (d) Unit Awards. Awards of Units may be granted under the Plan (i) to such
Employees, Consultants and/or Directors and in such amounts as the Committee, in its discretion, may select, and (ii) subject to such other terms and conditions, including, without limitation, restrictions on transferability, as the Committee
may establish with respect to such Awards. 
 (e) Profits Interest Units. Any Award consisting of Profits Interest Units
may be granted to an Employee, Consultant or Director for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership (i) in the Participant’s capacity as a partner of the Partnership, (ii) in anticipation of the Participant
becoming a partner of the Partnership, or (iii) as otherwise determined by the Committee. At the time of grant, the Committee shall specify the date or dates on which the Profits Interest Units shall vest and become nonforfeitable, and may
specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate. Profits Interest Units shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Committee may impose. 

(f) Other Unit-Based Awards. Other Unit-Based Awards may be granted under the Plan to such Employees, Consultants and/or Directors
as the Committee, in its discretion, may select. An Other Unit-Based Award shall be an award denominated or payable in, valued in or otherwise based on or related to Units, in whole or in part. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions
of any Other Unit-Based Award. Upon vesting, an Other Unit-Based Award may be paid in cash, Units (including Restricted Units) or any combination thereof as provided in the Award Agreement. 

(g) Substitute Awards. Awards may be granted under the Plan in substitution of similar awards held by individuals who become
Employees, Consultants or Directors as a result of a merger, consolidation or acquisition by the Partnership or an Affiliate of another entity or the assets of another entity. Such Substitute Awards that are Options or UARs may have exercise prices
less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the date of the substitution if such substitution complies with Section 409A and other applicable laws and securities exchange rules. 

(h) General. 
 (i) Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of an Award Agreement, upon termination of a Participant’s Service for any reason during an applicable Restricted Period, all
outstanding, unvested Awards held by such Participant shall be automatically forfeited by the Participant. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to any such Award; provided, that any such
waiver shall be effective only to the extent that such waiver will not cause any Award intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A to fail to satisfy such requirements. 

  
 -9-

 (ii) Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the
discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate. Awards granted in
addition to or in tandem with other Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards. 

(iii) Limits on Transfer of Awards. 

(A) Except as provided in paragraph (C) below, each Option and UAR shall be exercisable only by the Participant
during the Participant’s lifetime, or by the person to whom the Participant’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 (B) Except as provided in paragraph (C) below, no Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company, the Partnership or any Affiliate.

 (C) The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement that an Award may, on such terms and conditions as the
Committee may from time to time establish, be transferred by a Participant without consideration to any “family member” of the Participant, as defined in the instructions to use of the Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities
Act, as applicable, or any other transferee specifically approved by the Committee after taking into account any state, federal, local or foreign tax and securities laws applicable to transferable Awards. In addition, vested Units may be transferred
to the extent permitted by the Partnership Agreement and not otherwise prohibited by the Award Agreement or any other agreement restricting the transfer of such Units. 

(iv) Term of Awards. Subject to Section 6(a)(iv) above, the term of each Award, if any, shall be for such
period as may be determined by the Committee. 
 (v) Unit Certificates. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, neither the Company nor the Partnership shall deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Units issued in connection with any Award and instead such Units shall be recorded in
the books of the Partnership (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or equity plan administrator). All certificates for Units or other securities of the Partnership delivered under the Plan and all Units issued pursuant to book entry procedures
pursuant to any Award or the exercise 

  
 -10-

 
thereof shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and/or other requirements of the SEC,
any securities exchange upon which such Units or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be inscribed on any such certificates or book entry to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions. 
 (vi) Consideration for Grants. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, Awards may be granted for such consideration, including services, as the Committee shall determine. 
 (vii)
Delivery of Units or other Securities and Payment by Participant of Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, subject to compliance with Section 409A, the Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing Units pursuant to the exercise or vesting of any Award, unless and until the Board or the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance of such Units is in
compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Units are listed or traded, and the Units are covered by an effective registration statement or
applicable exemption from registration. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board or the Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board or the Committee,
in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the delivery of Units pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award may be deferred for any
period during which, in the good faith determination of the Committee, the Company is not reasonably able to obtain or deliver Units pursuant to such Award without violating applicable law or the applicable rules or regulations of any governmental
agency or authority or securities exchange. No Units or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement (including, without
limitation, any exercise price or tax withholding) is received by the Company. 
 SECTION 7. Amendment and Termination;
Certain Transactions. 
 Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law: 

(a) Amendments to the Plan. Except as required by applicable law or the rules of the principal securities exchange, if any, on
which the Units are traded and subject to Section 7(b) below, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan in any manner without the consent of any partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of
an Award, or any other Person. The Board shall obtain securityholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or securities exchange listing standards or rules. 

  
 -11-

 (b) Amendments to Awards. Subject to Section 7(a) above, the Committee may waive
any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided that no change, other than pursuant to Section 7(c) below, in any Award shall materially reduce the rights or benefits of a Participant with
respect to an Award without the consent of such Participant. 
 (c) Actions Upon the Occurrence of Certain Events. Upon
the occurrence of a Change in Control, any transaction or event described in Section 4(c) above, any change in applicable laws or regulations affecting the Plan or Awards hereunder, or any change in accounting principles affecting the financial
statements of the Company or the Partnership, the Committee, in its sole discretion, without the consent of any Participant or holder of an Award, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, may take any one or more of the following
actions: 
 (i) provide for either (A) the termination of any Award in exchange for a payment in an amount,
if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights under such Award (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of such transaction or
event, the Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been payable upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the
replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion having an aggregate value not exceeding the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the
Participant’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested; 
 (ii) provide
that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or be exchanged for similar options, rights or awards covering the equity of the successor or survivor, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of equity interests and prices; 
 (iii) make adjustments in
the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, the number and kind of outstanding Awards, the terms and conditions of (including the exercise price), and/or the vesting and performance criteria included
in, outstanding Awards; 
 (iv) provide that such Award shall vest or become exercisable or payable,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement; and 

  
 -12-

 (v) provide that the Award cannot be exercised or become payable after such
event and shall terminate upon such event. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) with respect to an above event that constitutes an
“equity restructuring” that would be subject to a compensation expense pursuant ASC Topic 718, the provisions in Section 4(c) above shall control to the extent they are in conflict with the discretionary provisions of this
Section 7, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7(c) or Section 4(c) above shall be construed as providing any Participant or any beneficiary of an Award any rights with respect to the “time value,”
“economic opportunity” or “intrinsic value” of an Award or limiting in any manner the Committee’s actions that may be taken with respect to an Award as set forth in this Section 7 or in Section 4(c) above; and
(ii) no action shall be taken under this Section 7 which shall cause an Award to result in taxation under Section 409A, to the extent applicable to such Award. 

SECTION 8. General Provisions. 
 (a) No Rights to Award. No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, including the treatment upon
termination of Service. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 
 (b) Tax
Withholding. Unless other arrangements have been made that are acceptable to the Company, the Company or any Affiliate thereof is authorized to deduct or withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any Award, from any payment due or
transfer made under any Award, or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash or Units, including Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to such Award or other property) of any applicable taxes payable in
respect of an Award, including its grant, its exercise, the lapse of restrictions thereon, or any payment or transfer thereunder or under the Plan, and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy its
withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes. In the event that Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to an Award are used to satisfy such withholding obligations, the number of Units which may be so withheld or surrendered shall be
limited to the number of Units which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll
tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. 
 (c) No Right to Employment or Services. The grant
of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, continue consulting services or to remain on the Board, as applicable. Furthermore, the
Company, the Partnership and/or an Affiliate thereof may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or consulting free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any Award Agreement or
other written agreement between any such entity and the Participant. 

  
 -13-

 (d) No Rights as Unitholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall
have none of the rights of a unitholder with respect to Units covered by any Award unless and until the Participant becomes the record owner of such Units. 
 (e) Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall include the
terms and conditions required by Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that
following the Effective Date (as defined in Section 9 below), the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, adopt other
policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), and/or take any other actions that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the Award, including
without limitation, actions intended to (i) exempt the Award from Section 409A, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A; provided, however, that nothing herein shall create any obligation on the part of the
Committee, the Partnership, the Company or any of their Affiliates to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action, nor shall the Committee, the Partnership, the Company or any of their Affiliates have any liability
for failing to do so. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the time of payment with respect to any Award that is subject to Section 409A shall not be accelerated, except as permitted under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-3(j)(4). 
 (f) Lock-Up Agreement. Each Participant shall agree, if so requested by the Company or the
Partnership and any underwriter in connection with any public offering of securities of the Partnership or any Affiliate, not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or
contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Units held by it for such period, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the relevant registration
statement filed under the Securities Act in connection with such public offering, as such underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith. The Company or the Partnership may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject
to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such 180-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 180-day period may be extended in the discretion of the Company for up to such number of additional days as is deemed necessary by such
underwriter or the Company or Partnership to continue coverage by research analysts in accordance with FINRA Rule 2711 or any successor or other applicable rule. 

  
 -14-

 (g) Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan
and the issuance and delivery of Units and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations (including but
not limited to state, federal and foreign securities law and margin requirements), the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Units are listed, quoted or traded, and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory
or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or the Partnership, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the Person
acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company or the Partnership, provide such assurances and representations to the Company or the Partnership as the Company or the Partnership may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance
with all applicable legal requirements. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. In the event an Award
is granted to or held by a Participant who is employed or providing services outside the United States, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of the Plan or of such Award as they pertain to such Participant to comply with
applicable foreign law or to recognize differences in local law, currency or tax policy. The Committee may also impose conditions on the grant, issuance, exercise, vesting, settlement or retention of Awards in order to comply with such foreign law
and/or to minimize the Company’s or the Partnership’s obligations with respect to tax equalization for Participants employed outside their home country. 
 (h) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. 
 (i) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or
becomes, or is deemed to be, invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed
amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such
jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (j)
Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or other consideration under an Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Units or such other consideration might violate any
applicable law or regulation, the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Units are then traded, or entitle the Partnership or an Affiliate to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to
the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. 

  
 -15-

 (k) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be
construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and a Participant or any other Person, on the other hand. To the extent that any
Person acquires a right to receive payments pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Partnership or any participating Affiliate of the Partnership. 

(l) No Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee
shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Units or whether such fractional Units or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated. 

(m) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such
headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision hereof. 
 (n) No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. None of the Board, the Committee, the Company or the Partnership provides or has provided any tax advice to any Participant or any other Person or makes or has
made any assurance, commitment or guarantee that any federal, state or local tax treatment will (or will not) apply or be available to any Participant or other Person. 
 (o) Clawback. To the extent required by applicable law or any applicable securities exchange listing standards, or as otherwise determined by the Committee, Awards and amounts paid or payable
pursuant to or with respect to Awards shall be subject to the provisions of any clawback policy implemented by the Company, which clawback policy may provide for forfeiture, repurchase and/or recoupment of Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant
to or with respect to Awards. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Company reserves the right, without the consent of any Participant, to adopt any such clawback policies and procedures, including
such policies and procedures applicable to this Plan or any Award Agreement with retroactive effect. 
 (p) Facility
Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any Person under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the Committee, is unable to manage properly his or her financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such Person, or may be
applied for the benefit of such Person in any manner that the Committee may select, and the Partnership, the Company and all of their Affiliates shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts. 

  
 -16-

 SECTION 9. Term of the Plan. 

The Plan shall be effective on the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board (the “Effective Date”) and shall
continue until the date terminated by the Board. However, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any
conditions or rights under such Award, shall extend beyond such termination date. The Plan shall, within twelve (12) months after the date of the Board’s initial adoption of the Plan, be submitted for approval by a majority of the
outstanding Units of the Partnership entitled to vote.

 (d) Article II of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following in its entirety as a
new Section 2.27. 
 “SECTION 2.27. Extended Term Loan Pricing
Protection. From and after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, if the initial yield on any New Term Loans incurred on or after such date (as determined by the Administrative Agent and to be equal to the sum
of (x) the margin above the adjusted LIBO or eurocurrency rate on such New Term Loans (the “New Loan Margin”) (which shall be increased by the amount that any “LIBOR floor” applicable to such New Term Loans on
the date such New Term Loans are made would exceed the adjusted LIBO or eurocurrency rate that would be in effect for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) and (y) if such New Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the
lenders making the same (as opposed to the arrangers, if any, thereof) receive a fee directly or indirectly from Parent, the Borrower or any subsidiary of Parent for doing so (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the New
Term Loans, being referred to herein as “New Term Loan OID”), the amount of such New Term Loan OID divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such New Term Loans and (B) four) exceeds by more than
50 basis points the sum of (1) the margin applicable to the Eurodollar Extended Term Loans (which margin shall be the sum of the Applicable Percentage for Eurodollar Extended Term Loans (determined, solely for the purposes of this
Section 2.27, by reference to the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Permitted Acquisition to which such New Term Loans relate and any Indebtedness incurred or expected
to be incurred in connection therewith) (such margin, the “Reference Margin”) increased by the amount that any “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Eurodollar Extended Term Loans on such date would exceed the Adjusted
LIBO Rate that would be in effect for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) plus (2) if such Extended Term Loans were initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same (as opposed to the arranger, if any,
thereof) received a fee directly or indirectly from Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary for doing so (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the Extended Term Loans and calculated on a weighted average basis, being
referred to herein as “Extended OID”), the amount of such Extended OID divided by four (such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “New Term Loan Yield Differential”) then
(i) the Applicable Percentage then in effect for such Extended Term Loans shall automatically be increased to the Reference Margin plus the applicable New Term Loan Yield Differential (or, in the case of that portion, if any, of the New
Term Loan Yield Differential resulting from the “LIBOR floor” applicable to such New Term Loans being greater 

 
than that applicable to such Extended Term Loans on the date such New Term Loans are made, by first increasing or (if no “LIBOR floor” is applicable to such Extended Term Loans at such
time) by adding a “LIBOR floor” with respect to such portion of the New Term Loan Yield Differential), (ii) each interest rate margin with respect to the Extended Term Loans set forth in the first table in the definition of Applicable
Percentage shall be increased by the New Term Loan Yield Differential (or, in the case of that portion, if any, of the New Term Loan Yield Differential resulting from the “LIBOR floor” applicable to such New Term Loans being greater than
that applicable to such Extended Term Loans on the date such New Term Loans are made, by first increasing or (if no “LIBOR floor” is applicable to such Extended Term Loans at such time) by adding a “LIBOR floor” with respect to
such portion of the New Term Loan Yield Differential) and (iii) the Applicable Percentage for the Extended Term Loans will thereafter be determined in accordance with the definition of Applicable Percentage as so amended and by reference to the
Secured Leverage Ratio and the Leverage Ratio; provided that in the event that the Applicable Percentage with respect to the Extended Term Loans would be subject to any decrease as a result of any change in the Secured Leverage Ratio or the
Leverage Ratio, as the case may be, the amount of any such decrease in the Applicable Percentage with respect to the Extended Term Loans shall not exceed the amount of any corresponding decrease, if any, in the New Loan Margin as a result of such
changes in the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Leverage Ratio, as the case may be, in each case effective upon the incurrence of such New Term Loans (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Applicable Percentage with respect to all
Term Loans other than the Extended Term Loans shall continue to be determined as provided in the definition of Applicable Percentage without giving effect to any changes set forth in this Section 2.27).” 

(e) The definition of the term “Secured Leverage Ratio Condition” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended by replacing “3.75 to 1.0.” therein with “4.00 to 1.0.” 
 (f) Section 6.13 (Maximum
Leverage Ratio) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows: 

                (i) by replacing the ratio
“5.50 to 1.00” which corresponds to the period labeled “October 1, 2011 through December 31, 2014” with “6.25 to 1.00”; 
                 (ii) by inserting a new row immediately above the last row of the table therein, which row shall set forth a
period labeled “January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015” and a corresponding ratio of “6.00 to 1.00”; and 
                 (iii) by replacing the ratio “5.25 to 1.00” which corresponds to the period labeled
“Thereafter” with “5.75 to 1.00”. 
 SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other
parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, each of Parent, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Collateral Agent that, after giving
effect to this Amendment: 
 (a) The representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement and in
each other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment Effective Date as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier
date. 
 (b) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

 (c) None of the Security Documents in effect on the Amendment Effective Date will be
rendered invalid, non-binding or unenforceable against any Loan Party as a result of this Amendment. The Guarantees created under such Security Documents will continue to guarantee the Obligations to the same extent as they guaranteed the
Obligations immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Date. The Liens created under such Security Documents will continue to secure the Obligations, and will continue to be perfected, in each case, to the same extent as they secured the
Obligations or were perfected immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Date.

Amendment shall become effective on and as of the date on which each of the following conditions precedent is satisfied (such date, the “Amendment Effective Date”):

the aggregate amount of such Consenting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments (whether drawn or undrawn), as the case may be, in each case as of the Amendment Effective Date. Such fees shall be payable in immediately available funds and, once
paid, shall not be refundable in whole or in part. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall have received all other fees and other
amounts due and payable on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date, including, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses required
to be reimbursed or paid by the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or under any other Loan Document. 
 The Administrative Agent shall notify Parent, the Borrower and the Lenders of the Amendment Effective Date and such notice shall be conclusive and binding. 

SECTION 5. Effect of this Amendment. (a) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or
otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Secured Party under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify,
amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and
effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement specifically referred to herein. 

(b) From and after the Amendment Effective Date, any reference to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as modified by this
Amendment. 
 (c) This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.

identified on the signature pages hereto (collectively, Parent, the Borrower and such Subsidiary Guarantors, the “Reaffirming Loan Parties”) hereby acknowledges that it expects to receive substantial direct

 
and indirect benefits as a result of this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Reaffirming Loan Party hereby consents to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated
hereby, and hereby confirms its respective guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests, as applicable, under each of the Loan Documents to which it is party, and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment and the
transactions contemplated hereby, such guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall accrue to the benefit of the Secured Parties. 

SECTION 7. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in
connection with the Loan Documents (including the preparation of this Amendment), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP.

executed counterpart of this Amendment, and, once delivered, may not be withdrawn or revoked unless the Amendment fails to become effective in accordance with its terms on or prior to September 30, 2013. 

SECTION 9. No Novation. This Amendment shall not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Credit
Agreement or discharge or release the Lien or priority of any Loan Document or any other security therefor or any guarantee thereof. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Obligations outstanding under the
Credit Agreement or instruments guaranteeing or securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Nothing expressed or implied in this Amendment or any other
document contemplated hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Party under any other Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities thereunder. The Credit Agreement
