 APPENDIX AForm of Indemnification Agreement

 Exhibit 10.5 
 FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 This Indemnification Agreement
(“Agreement”) is made as of             , 20    , by and between CVR Refining, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
“Partnership”), and                      (“Indemnitee”). 

RECITALS 

WHEREAS, the Partnership desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the
Partnership and CVR Refining GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”); 
 WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Partnership and the General Partner, the Partnership wishes to provide for the indemnification of, and advancement of expenses
to, Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law; 
 WHEREAS, the Partnership’s Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership of CVR Refining, LP, dated as of             , 20     (“LP Agreement”), provides for indemnification of the
General Partner and any person who is or was a director, officer, fiduciary, trustee, manager or managing member of the General Partner; 
 WHEREAS, the LP Agreement expressly provides that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Partnership and
other persons identified by the General Partner with respect to indemnification; 
 WHEREAS, the Partnership and Indemnitee
recognize the continued difficulty in obtaining liability insurance for the General Partner’s directors and officers and the Partnership’s officers, employees, agents, fiduciaries, trustees, managers and managing members, the significant
and continual increases in the cost of such insurance and the general trend of insurance companies to reduce the scope of coverage of such insurance; 
 WHEREAS, the Partnership and Indemnitee further recognize the prevalence of corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, fiduciaries, trustees, managers and managing members to
expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and scope of coverage of liability insurance provide increasing challenges for the Partnership; 
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection currently provided by applicable law, the Partnership’s governing documents and available insurance as adequate under the present circumstances, and
the Indemnitee and certain other directors and officers of the General Partner and the officers, employees, agents, fiduciaries, trustees, managers and managing members of the Partnership may not be willing to continue to serve in such capacities
without additional protection; 

 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the
“Board”) has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining highly qualified persons such as Indemnitee is detrimental to the best interests of the Partnership’s unitholders and that the Partnership
should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future; 
 WHEREAS, it is
reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Partnership contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve
the Partnership and the General Partner free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; and 
 WHEREAS, this
Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the indemnification provided in the LP Agreement and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee
thereunder. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Partnership and
Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Services to the Partnership or the General
Partner. Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director of the General Partner and/or as an officer of the Partnership or the General Partner. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other
contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event the Partnership and the General Partner shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed
an employment contract between the Partnership and the General Partner (or any of their subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in force after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a
director of the General Partner and/or and officer of the Partnership or the General Partner. 
 Section 2.
Definitions. 
 As used in this Agreement: 

(a) “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, fiduciary, trustee,
manager or managing member of the Partnership or the General Partner or of any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the
request of the Partnership or the General Partner as a director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary, trustee, manager or managing member. 
 (b) “Enterprise” shall mean the Partnership, the General Partner and any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Partnership or the General Partner as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary. 
 (c) “Expenses” shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs,
printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, any federal, state, local or 

  
 2 

 
foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, and all other disbursements or expenses of
the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise participating in, a Proceeding. Expenses also shall include Expenses
incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedeas bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent. The parties agree that
for the purposes of any advancement of Expenses for which Indemnitee has made written demand to the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement, all Expenses included in such demand that are certified by affidavit of Indemnitee’s counsel as
being reasonable shall be presumed conclusively to be reasonable. The Partnership may, however, challenge the reasonableness of any such Expenses in any proceeding involving indemnification. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in
settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee. 
 (d) “Independent
Counsel” means a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member) of such a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the
Partnership or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party
to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing,
would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Partnership or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. 
 (e) The term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry,
administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Partnership, the General Partner or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, legislative or investigative (formal
or informal) nature, including any appeal therefrom, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party, potential party, non-party witness or otherwise by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Partnership
or the General Partner, by reason of any action taken by him or of any action on his part while acting as director or officer of the Partnership or the General Partner, or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the
Partnership or the General Partner as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, in each case whether or not serving in such
capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement, or advancement of expenses can be provided under this Agreement. If the Indemnitee believes in good faith that a given situation may lead to or
culminate in the institution of a Proceeding, such situation shall be considered a Proceeding under this paragraph. 

  
 3 

 Section 3. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Partnership shall
indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Partnership or the General
Partner to procure a judgment in its favor (which is covered by Section 4 of this Agreement). Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Indemnitee shall not enter into any settlement in connection with a
Proceeding without ten (10) days prior notice to the Partnership. 
 Section 4. Indemnity in Proceedings by or
in the Right of the Partnership or the General Partner. The Partnership shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any
Proceeding by or in the right of the Partnership or the General Partner to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Partnership. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Partnership, unless and only
to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Delaware Court”) or any court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the Delaware Court or such other court shall deem proper. 
 Section 5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. To the extent that Indemnitee is a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any
Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Partnership shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly
successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Partnership shall indemnify Indemnitee against (a) all Expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter and (b) any claim, issue or matter related to any such successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section
and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. Nothing in this Section 5 is
intended to limit Indemnitee’s rights provided for in Sections 3 and 4. 
 Section 6. Indemnification For
Expenses of a Witness. To the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified by the Partnership against
all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. Nothing in this Section 6 is intended to limit Indemnitee’s rights provided for in Sections 3 and 4. 

  
 4 

 Section 7. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Partnership for some or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Partnership shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee
is entitled. 
 Section 8. Additional Indemnification. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provisions of Sections 3, 4, or 5, the Partnership shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law if Indemnitee is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Partnership or the General Partner to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding. 
 (b) For purposes of Section 8(a), the meaning of the phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law” shall include, but not be limited to: 

(i) to the fullest extent permitted by the provision of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (“LP
Act”) that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the LP Act or such provision thereof; and 

(ii) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the LP Act adopted after the date of this
Agreement that increase the extent to which a limited partnership may indemnify directors, officers, fiduciaries, trustees, managers or managing members. 
 Section 9. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Partnership shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity: 

(a) subject to Section 15(c), for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or
other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; 
 (b) for any disgorgement of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Partnership under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; 
 (c) for claims initiated or brought by Indemnitee
against the Partnership or the General Partner or their directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries, trustees, managers, managing members or other indemnitees, except (i) to the extent Indemnitee is the prevailing party with respect to actions or
proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to receive Expenses or indemnification under this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance policy or under the LP Agreement now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification, (ii) if
the Board has approved the initiation or bringing of such claim, or (iii) as otherwise required under Delaware law; or 

(d) for which payment is prohibited by applicable law. 

  
 5 

 Section 10. Advances of Expenses. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Partnership shall advance, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, and such advancement shall be made within twenty
(20) days after the receipt by the Partnership of a statement or statements requesting such advances (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal
services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice) from time to time, whether prior to or after final
disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification
under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Partnership
to support the advances claimed. The Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Partnership of this Agreement which shall constitute an undertaking providing that the Indemnitee undertakes to the fullest extent
required by applicable law to repay the amounts advanced (without interest) if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment, not subject to appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Partnership. No other form of undertaking shall be required other than the execution of this Agreement. This Section 10 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to
Section 9. The right to advances under this paragraph shall in all events continue until final disposition of any Proceeding. 
 Section 11. Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim. 

(a) To obtain indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Partnership a written
request therefor. The omission by Indemnitee to notify the Partnership hereunder will not relieve the Partnership from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee hereunder, under the LP Agreement, any resolution of the Board providing for
indemnification or otherwise, and any delay in so notifying the Partnership shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights under this Agreement. The Partnership shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise
the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. 
 (b) The Partnership will be entitled to participate in any
Proceeding at its own expense. 
 Section 12. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification. 

(a) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a), a determination, only if required by applicable
law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten 

  
 6 

 
(10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Independent Counsel making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including
providing to such counsel upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination.
Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Independent Counsel shall be deemed “Expenses” hereunder and shall be borne by the Partnership (irrespective of the
determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Partnership hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. 
 (b) The Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Partnership advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. The Partnership
may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of Indemnitee’s selection shall have been given, deliver to the Indemnitee a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only
on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such
assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person or firm so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless
and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after the later of submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 11
(a) hereof and the final disposition of the Proceeding, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, the Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been
made by the Partnership to the selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all
objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 12(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 14(a) of this Agreement, Independent
Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing). The Partnership agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent
Counsel and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. 

Section 13. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. 

(a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the Independent Counsel making such determination
shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 11(a) of this Agreement, and the Partnership shall have the burden of proof
to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by the Independent Counsel of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Partnership or of Independent Counsel to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Partnership or by Independent Counsel that
Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 

  
 7 

 (b) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment,
order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of guilty, nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or
create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 
 (c) For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be
deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of
their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or the Board or counsel selected by any committee of the Board or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or
by an appraiser, investment banker or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Partnership or the Board or any committee of the Board. The provisions of this Section 13(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the
other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. 
 (d) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to
indemnification under this Agreement. 
 Section 14. Remedies of Indemnitee. 

(a) Subject to Section 14(e), in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement that
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been
made pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Partnership of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5, 6 or 7 or the last
sentence of Section 12(a) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Partnership of a written request therefor, (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3, 4 or 8 of this Agreement is not made within
ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, or (vi) in the event that the Partnership or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or
unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or Proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, the Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to the Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an
adjudication by a court of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. 

  
 8 

 
Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding
pursuant to this Section 14(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights under Section 5 of this Agreement. The Partnership
shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration. 
 (b) In the event that a
determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 shall be conducted in all
respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14, the Partnership shall
have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be. 
 (c)
If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Partnership shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced
pursuant to this Section 14, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for
indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. 
 (d) The Partnership shall be
precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or
before any such arbitrator that the Partnership is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Partnership shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses which are incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Partnership under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the
Partnership, if Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be, in the suit for which indemnification or advances is being sought. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement of Indemnitee to indemnification under
this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding. 

  
 9 

 Section 15. Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.

 (a) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the LP Agreement, any other agreement, a vote of members or a resolution of the Board, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this
Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the
extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the LP Agreement and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties
hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative
and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other right or remedy. 
 (b) To the extent that the Partnership maintains an insurance policy or policies
providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents of the Partnership or the General Partner or of any other Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the
maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Partnership has director and officer
liability insurance in effect, the Partnership shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Partnership shall thereafter take all
necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. 

(c) The Partnership acknowledges that Indemnitee has or may obtain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance
provided by third parties (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”). The Partnership agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to
advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the
full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the LP Agreement (or any other agreement between the Partnership and
Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Other Indemnitors, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Other Indemnitors for
contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Partnership further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of Indemntee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought
indemnification from the Partnership shall affect the foregoing and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the
Partnership. The Partnership and Indemnitee agree that the Other Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 15(c). 

  
 10 

 (d) Except as provided in Section 15(c), in the event of any payment under this
Agreement, the Partnership shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee (other than against the Other Indemnitors), who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure
such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Partnership to bring suit to enforce such rights. 
 (e) Except as provided in Section 15(c), the Partnership shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is
provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. 
 (f) Except as provided in Section 15(c), the Partnership’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Partnership or the
General Partner as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually
received as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. 

Section 16. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) ten
(10) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director and/or officer of the Partnership or the General Partner or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding, including any appeal, then
pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 14 of this Agreement relating thereto. This Agreement shall be
binding upon the Partnership and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his heirs, executors and administrators. The Partnership shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Partnership, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Partnership would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 
 Section 17. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to
conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement
containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby. 

  
 11 

 Section 18. Enforcement. 

(a) The Partnership expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby
in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director of the General Partner and/or officer of the Partnership or the General Partner, and the Partnership acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director and/or
officer of the Partnership or the General Partner. 
 (b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this
Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the LP Agreement, any resolution of the Board providing for indemnification and applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee
thereunder. 
 Section 19. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment, or waiver of
any provision, of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties thereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor
shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 
 Section 20. Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees
promptly to notify the Partnership in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of
Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Partnership shall not relieve the Partnership of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise. 

Section 21. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, (b) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on
the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed, (c) mailed by reputable overnight courier and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed or (d) sent by facsimile
transmission, with receipt of oral confirmation that such transmission has been received: 
 (a) If to Indemnitee, at such
address as Indemnitee shall provide to the Partnership. 
 (b) If to the Partnership to:

Attn: General Counsel 
 Facsimile: (913) 982-5651 
 or to any other address as may
have been furnished to Indemnitee by the Partnership. 
 Section 22. Contribution. To the fullest extent
permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Partnership, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by
Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed
fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Partnership and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such
Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Partnership (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s). 

Section 23. Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall
be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 14(a) of this
Agreement, the Partnership and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Delaware Court, and not in any other state
or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement, (iii) appoint, to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, The Corporation Trust Company, Wilmington, Delaware as its agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for
acceptance of legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying
of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

 Section 24. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the
existence of this Agreement. 
 Section 25. Miscellaneous. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement
are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.
