(e)    If the date of a Participant’s Separation from Service that is a Removal for Cause is prior to the earlier of (i) the Vesting Date and (ii) the date of a Change in Control, the Phantom Units shall be forfeited. 
5.    Election of Deferral. 
(a)    On or before December 31 of any year in which the Plan is in effect, each Non-Employee Director shall be entitled to make an irrevocable election to defer receipt of payment with respect to all or a specified portion of the Phantom Units that may be awarded to such director during the following year.  Such election shall be made by delivering written notice to TNGP, in accordance with Section 13(e), setting forth the Participant’s irrevocable election as to the percentage of the Phantom Units that may be awarded to such Participant during the following year to be deferred and credited to the Participant’s Account.  Any election to defer receipt of payment with respect to Phantom Units must be with respect to at least 25%, and may be up to 100%, of the total number of Phantom Units that may be awarded during the applicable year.  Any such election shall become irrevocable as of December 31 of the year of election.  The election set forth in such notice shall be given effect only for the year to which the election relates. 
(b)    A newly elected Non-Employee Director may elect to defer receipt of payment with respect to all or a portion of Phantom Units that may be awarded to such director during the remainder of the calendar year in which such director joins the Board.  Such election shall be made by delivering written notice to TNGP, in accordance with Section 13(e), setting forth the Participant’s irrevocable election as to the percentage of Phantom Units that may be awarded to such Participant during the remainder of the calendar year to be deferred and credited to the Participant’s Account.  Any such election shall be made within 30 days following the date of such director’s election to the Board and shall be effective with respect to Phantom Units awarded on and after the first day of the month next following the date on which such election by such director becomes irrevocable and ending on the next following December 31.  Any such election shall become irrevocable as of the 30th day following the date of such director’s election to the Board.  The election set forth in such notice shall be given effect only for the year to which the election relates. 
(c)    Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account shall be deemed to be invested in Common Units or in such form of Alternative Unit as the Participant designates from among the options made available from time to time by TNGP.  The Board shall have final discretion with regard to the availability and terms and conditions of any deemed investment alternatives under the Plan, which investment alternatives may be amended or terminated at any time by the Board.  A Participant’s Account shall be credited or charged with such gains or losses attributable to such investments.

Exhibit 10.6

6.    Deferred Compensation Accounts. 
(a)    Deferred Phantom Units shall be credited to a Participant’s Account on the date upon which the Phantom Units subject to the applicable election pursuant to Section 5 would otherwise become payable to the Participant.  The number of such Deferred Phantom Units to be credited to a Participant’s Account shall be equal to the product of (i) the total number of Phantom Units that vest and would otherwise become payable on such date (including Phantom Units earned as a result of cash distributions to Common Unit holders) if they had not been deferred and (ii) the percentage of Phantom Units that the Participant elected to defer with respect to the year during which the Phantom Units were awarded. 
(b)    In the event of a cash distribution to holders of Common Units the record date for which is during the period beginning on the date the Deferred Phantom Units are credited to a Participant’s Account and ending on the Distribution Date, an additional number of Deferred Phantom Units shall be credited to a Participant’s Account equal to (i) the total number of Deferred Phantom Units credited to the Participant’s Account as of the Payment Date that are deemed to be invested in Common Units, if any, divided by the Closing Price per Common Unit on the Payment Date multiplied by (ii) the value per Common Unit of the cash distribution.  Each additional Deferred Phantom Unit that is credited to a Participant’s Account pursuant to this Section 6 shall be subject to all terms and conditions set forth in this Plan, including the right to receive additional Deferred Phantom Units with respect thereto, as provided in this Section 6 and shall be distributed in accordance with Section 7. 
7.    Method of Distribution of Deferred Compensation. 
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 12(d), no distribution of Deferred Phantom Units may be made except as provided in this Section. 
(b)    On a Participant’s Distribution Date, such Participant shall become entitled to payment with respect to all of the Deferred Phantom Units in such Participant’s Account. 
(c)    In the event the Distribution Date is based on a Participant’s Separation from Service, for each Deferred Phantom Unit, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash payment, within 45 days following the Participant’s Separation from Service, equal to the Distribution Closing Price. 
(d)    In the event the Distribution Date is based on a Change in Control, for each Deferred Phantom Unit, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash payment, not later than the 10th day following the consummation of the Change in Control, equal to the Distribution Closing Price. 
(e)    A Participant may not elect to change the Distribution Date. 
8.    Participant’s Rights in Account. 
A Participant shall not have any interest in the Deferred Phantom Units credited to his or her Account until they are distributed in accordance with this Plan.  All amounts deferred under the Plan shall remain the sole property of TNGP, subject to the claims of its general creditors and available for its use for whatever purposes are desired.  Notwithstanding any actual investment made by TNGP in anticipation of its liabilities hereunder, either directly or through one or more “rabbi trusts,” with respect to amounts deferred, a Participant shall be merely a general creditor of TNGP, and the obligation of TNGP hereunder shall be purely contractual and shall not be funded or secured in any way. 
9.    Administration. 
This Plan shall be administered by the Board or a committee appointed by the Board to administer, interpret and make determinations under the Plan.  The Board shall be authorized to interpret this Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules or regulations relating to this Plan and to make any other determinations which it believes necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.  The Board may correct any defect or supply any 

Exhibit 10.6

omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan in the manner and to the extent the Board deems desirable to carry it into effect.  Any decision of the Board shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
10.    Adjustment in Event of Changes in Capitalization. 
In the event of any change in the outstanding Common Units or Alternative Units by reason of any unit split, unit dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination or exchange of units or other similar event, the Board may in its discretion, either equitably adjust the number of Common Units or Alternative Units to which outstanding Phantom Units or Deferred Phantom Units relate, in any such manner as may be necessary, in the Board’s discretion, to avoid enhancement or diminution of rights of Participants. 
11.    Amendment and Termination. 
(a)    The Plan may at any time be amended, modified or terminated by the Board; provided, however, that no distribution of benefits shall occur upon termination of this Plan unless applicable requirements of Section 409A have been met.  No amendment, modification or termination shall, without the consent of a Participant, adversely affect such Participant’s rights with respect to the Phantom Units or the Deferred Phantom Units accrued in his or her Account. 
(b)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A and Section 457A, the Board reserves the right to (i) adopt such amendments to the Plan and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Board determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the Phantom Units and the Deferred Phantom Units deferred under the Plan and/or (ii) take such other actions as the Board determines necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A or Section 457A.  In any case, each Participant shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on such Participant in connection with this Plan (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A or Section 457A), and neither TNGP nor any of its affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold the Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties. 
12.    Section 409A. 
(a)    It is intended that the provisions of this Plan comply with Section 409A, and all provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A. 
(b)    Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries shall have the right to subject the Phantom Units or the Deferred Phantom Units in such Participant’s Account to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment.  Except as permitted under Section 409A, any amounts payable to a Participant or for the benefit of a Participant with respect to the Phantom Units or the Deferred Phantom Units in such Participant’s Account may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by the Participant to TNGP or any of its affiliates. 
(c)    If, at the time of a Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A), (i) such Participant shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by TNGP from time to time) and (ii) TNGP shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable under this Plan constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A, then TNGP shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead pay it, without interest, on the first business day after such six-month period. 
(d)    If necessary to comply with a domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B), pursuant to which a court has determined that a spouse or former spouse of a Participant has an interest in the Participant’s Phantom Units or Deferred Phantom Units, the Board shall have the right to immediately distribute the 

Exhibit 10.6

spouse or former spouse’s interest in the Participant’s Phantom Units or Deferred Phantom Units, as applicable, to such spouse or former spouse, to the extent permitted by Section 409A. 
13.    Miscellaneous. 
(a)    Common Unit Ownership Guidelines.  Deferred Phantom Units will be counted towards the common unit ownership guidelines with respect to the Participant to the extent they are deemed to be invested in Common Units. 
(b)    No Right to Nomination.  Nothing contained in this Plan shall confer upon any Director the right to be nominated for re-election to the Board. 
(c)    Withholding.  TNGP shall have the right to deduct from any award under this Plan any federal, state or local income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such award, as it may deem necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion. 
(d)    Governing Law.  This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
