Subject to the following and any applicable law, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may delegate any or all of its powers and duties under the Plan, including the power to grant Awards under the Plan, to the Chief Executive Officer of the
General Partner, subject to such limitations on such delegated powers and duties as the Committee may impose, if any. Upon any such delegation all references in the Plan to the “Committee”, other than in Section 7, shall be deemed to
include the Chief Executive Officer. Any such delegation shall not limit the Chief Executive Officer’s right to receive Awards under the Plan; provided, however, the Chief Executive Officer may not grant Awards to himself, a
Director or any executive officer of the General Partner or an Affiliate, or take any action with respect to any Award previously granted to himself, a person who is an executive officer or a Director. Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable
law, and in addition to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Committee by the Plan, the Committee shall have full power 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 that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee
may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or an Award Agreement in such manner and to such extent as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all
designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all
Persons, including, without limitation, the General Partner, the Partnership, any Affiliate, any Participant, and any beneficiary of any Participant. 
 (b) Limitation of Liability. The Committee and each member thereof shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or
employee of the General Partner, the Partnership or their Affiliates, the General Partner’s or the Partnership’s legal counsel, independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of the Plan. Members of
the Committee and any officer or employee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good
faith with respect to this Plan, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the General Partner with respect to any such action or determination.

 Section 4. Units. 

(a) Limits on Units Deliverable. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), the maximum number of Units that may be
delivered with respect to Awards under the Plan shall be (i) until and up to a Partnership IPO, 10% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Units as of the date of the adoption of the Plan and (ii) from and after a Partnership
IPO, that greater number of Units (which will subsume and include all Units described in Section 4(a)(i), as adjusted to give effect to any split in the Units effected in connection with a Partnership IPO) as is equal to 10% of the aggregate
number of common units and subordinated units that will be issued and outstanding immediately following the closing of a Partnership IPO; provided, however, that Units withheld from an Award to either satisfy the Partnership’s or
any Affiliate of the Partnership’s tax withholding obligations with respect to the Award or pay the exercise price of an Award shall not be considered to be Units delivered under the Plan for this purpose. If any Award is forfeited, cancelled,
exercised, or otherwise terminates or expires without the actual delivery of Units pursuant to such Award (the grant of Restricted Units is not a delivery of Units for this purpose), the Units subject to such Award shall again be available for
Awards under the Plan (including Units not delivered in connection with the exercise of an Option or Unit Appreciation Right). There shall not be any limitation on the number of Awards that may be granted and 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 any Affiliate, the Partnership or any other Person, or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. 

(c) Anti-dilution Adjustments. With respect to any “equity restructuring” event that could result in an additional
compensation expense to the General Partner or the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification, 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 restructuring event and shall adjust the
number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted after such event. With respect to any other similar event that would not result in an accounting charge under FASB Accounting Standards
Codification, Topic 718 if the adjustment to Awards with respect to such event were subject to discretionary action, the Committee shall have complete discretion to adjust Awards in such manner as it deems appropriate with respect to such other
event. 
 Section 5. Eligibility. Any Employee, Consultant or Director shall be eligible to be
designated a Participant and receive an Award under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employees, Consultants and Directors that provide services to Affiliates that are not considered a single employer with the Partnership under Code
Section 414(b) or Code Section 414(c) shall not be eligible to receive Awards which are subject to Code Section 409A until the Affiliate adopts this Plan as a participating employer in accordance with Section 10.

 Section 6. Awards. 

(a) Options. The Committee may grant Options which are intended to meet the requirements of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-l(b)(5)(i)(A) only to Employees, Consultants or Directors performing services for the Partnership or a corporation or other type of entity in a chain of corporations or other entities in which each corporation or other entity has
a “controlling interest” in another corporation or entity in the chain, starting with the Partnership and ending with the corporation or other entity for which the Employee, Consultant or Director performs services. For purposes of this
Section 6(a), “controlling interest” means (i) in the case of a corporation, ownership of stock possessing at least 50% of total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such corporation entitled to vote or at least 50%
of the total value of shares of all classes of stock of such corporation; (ii) in the case of a partnership, ownership of at least 50% of the profits interest or capital interest of such partnership; (iii) in the case of a sole
proprietorship, ownership of the sole proprietorship; or (iv) in the case of a trust or estate, ownership of an actuarial interest (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(ii)) of at least 50% of such trust or estate.
The Committee may grant Options that are otherwise exempt from or compliant with Code Section 409A to any eligible Employee, Consultant or Director. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the number of Units to be covered by each
Option, the purchase price therefor and the Restricted Period and other conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option, 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. 
 (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per
Unit purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted but, except with respect to Substitute Awards, may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of the date of grant of the Option.

 (ii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the exercise terms and the Restricted Period with
respect to an Option grant, which may include, without limitation, a provision for accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals or other events, and the method or methods by which payment of the exercise price with respect
thereto may be made or deemed to have been made, which may include, without limitation, cash, check acceptable to the General Partner, a “cashless-broker” exercise through procedures approved by the General Partner, or any combination of
methods, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price. 
 (iii) Forfeitures.
Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the Option grant, upon termination of a Participant’s employment with the General Partner and its Affiliates or membership on the Board, whichever is applicable, for any reason during the applicable
Restricted Period, all unvested Options shall be forfeited by the Participant. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to a Participant’s Options; provided that the waiver contemplated under
this Section 6(a)(iii) shall be effective only to the extent that such waiver will not cause the Participant’s Options that are designed to satisfy Code Section 409A to fail to satisfy such section. 

  
 6 

 (b) Unit Appreciation Rights. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the
Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Unit Appreciation Rights shall be granted, the number of Units to be covered by each grant, whether Units or cash shall be delivered upon exercise, the exercise price therefor and the conditions and
limitations applicable to the exercise of the Unit Appreciation Rights, 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. 
 (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Unit Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee at the
time the Unit Appreciation Right is granted but, except with respect to Substitute Awards, may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of the date of grant of the Unit Appreciation Right. 

(ii) Time of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the Restricted Period and the time or times at which a Unit Appreciation
Right may be exercised in whole or in part, which may include, without limitation, accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals or other events. 
 (iii) Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the Unit Appreciation Right grant, upon termination of a Participant’s employment with or service to the General Partner, the
Partnership and their Affiliates or membership on the Board, whichever is applicable, for any reason during the applicable Restricted Period, all outstanding Unit Appreciation Rights awarded to the Participant shall be automatically forfeited on
such termination. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to a Participant’s Unit Appreciation Rights. 
 (c) Restricted Units and Phantom Units. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Restricted Units or Phantom Units shall be granted, the
number of Restricted Units or Phantom Units to be granted to each such Participant, the Restricted Period, the conditions under which the Restricted Units or Phantom Units may become vested or forfeited and such other terms and conditions as the
Committee may establish with respect to such Awards. 
 (i) UDRs. To the extent provided by the Committee, in its
discretion, a grant of Restricted Units may provide that distributions made by the Partnership with respect to the Restricted Units shall be subject to the same forfeiture and other restrictions as the Restricted Unit and, if restricted, such
distributions shall be held, without interest, until the Restricted Unit vests or is forfeited with the UDR being paid or forfeited at the same time, as the case may be. Absent such a restriction on the UDRs in the Award Agreement, UDRs shall be
paid to the holder of the Restricted Unit without restriction at the same time as cash distributions are paid by the Partnership to its unitholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, UDRs shall only be paid in a manner that is either exempt from or in
compliance with Code Section 409A. 
 (ii) Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the Restricted
Units or Phantom Units Award Agreement, upon termination of a Participant’s employment with, or consultant services to, the General Partner and its Affiliates or membership on the Board, whichever is applicable, for any reason during the
applicable Restricted Period, all 

  
 7 

 
outstanding, unvested Restricted Units and Phantom Units awarded the Participant shall be automatically forfeited on such termination. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in
part such forfeiture with respect to a Participant’s Restricted Units and/or Phantom Units; provided that the waiver contemplated under this Section 6(c)(ii) shall be effective only to the extent that such waiver will not cause the
Participant’s Restricted Units and/or Phantom Units that are designed to satisfy Code Section 409A to fail to satisfy such section. 
 (iii) Lapse of Restrictions. 
 (A) Phantom Units. Upon the vesting
of each Phantom Unit, subject to the provisions of Section 8(b), the Participant shall be entitled to receive one Unit or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a Unit, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. 

(B) Restricted Units. Upon 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 so that the Participant then holds an unrestricted Unit. 
 (d) Unit Awards. A Unit Award of Units not subject to a Restricted Period may be granted under the Plan to any Employee, Consultant or Director as a bonus or additional compensation or in lieu of
cash compensation the individual is otherwise entitled to receive, in such amounts as the Committee determines to be appropriate. 
 (e) Other Unit Based Awards. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in
whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Units, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of this Plan, including, without limitation, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights
convertible or exchangeable into Units, purchase rights for Units, Awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Partnership or any other factors designated by the Committee, and Awards valued by reference to the book value of
Units or the value of securities of or the performance of specified Affiliates of the General Partner or the Partnership. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Units delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a
purchase right granted under this Section 6(e) shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, Units, other Awards, or other property, as the Committee
shall determine. Cash awards, as an element of or supplement to any other Award under this Plan, may also be granted pursuant to this Section 6(e). 
 (f) DERs. To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, an Award (other than a Restricted Unit or Unit Award) may include a tandem DER grant, which may provide that such DERs shall be
paid directly to the Participant, be credited to a bookkeeping account (with or without interest in the discretion of the Committee) subject to the same vesting restrictions as the tandem Award, or be subject to such other provisions or restrictions
as determined by the Committee in its discretion. Absent a contrary provision in the Award Agreement, DERs shall be paid to the Participant without restriction at the same time as cash distributions are paid by the Partnership to its unitholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, DERs shall only be paid in a manner that is either exempt from or in compliance with Code Section 409A. 

  
 8 

 (g) Substitute Awards. Awards may be granted under the Plan in substitution for
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 may have exercise prices less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the date of the substitution if such substitution complies with Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. 

(h) General. 
 (i) 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 Partnership or any Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the Partnership 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 7(c) of the Plan, without the approval of unitholders, the Committee will not
(i) exchange or substitute previously granted Options or Unit Appreciation Rights in a transaction that constitutes a “repricing” as such term is used in Rule 5635(c) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, as amended from time to time, or
(ii) cause the General Partner or the Partnership to offer to purchase or exchange for cash Options or Unit Appreciation Rights if, at the time of such offer, the Fair Market Value of a Unit is less than the exercise price of such Options or
Unit Appreciation Rights. 
 (ii) Performance Conditions. The right of a Participant to exercise or receive, and/or the
vesting or settlement of, any Award and the timing thereof may be subject to such performance conditions as may be specified by the Committee. The Committee shall establish any such performance conditions and goals based on one or more business
criteria for the General Partner and/or the Partnership, on a consolidated basis, and/or for specified Affiliates or business or geographical units of the Partnership, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, which may include (but are not
limited to) one or more of the following: (A) earnings per Unit, (B) increase in revenues, (C) increase in cash flow, (D) increase in cash flow from operations, (E) increase in cash follow return, (F) return on net
assets, (G) return on assets, (H) return on investment, (I) return on capital, (J) return on equity, (K) economic value added, (L) operating margin, (M) contribution margin, (N) net income, (O) net income
per Unit, (P) pretax earnings, (Q) pretax earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization, (R) pretax operating earnings after interest expense and before incentives, service fees, and extraordinary or special items,
(S) total unitholder return, (T) debt reduction, (U) market share, (V) change in the Fair Market Value of the Units, (W) operating income, and (X) any of the above goals determined on an absolute or relative basis or as
compared to the performance of a published or special index deemed applicable by the Committee including, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index or a group of comparable companies. 

  
 9 

 (iii) Limits on Transfer of Awards. 

(A) Except as provided in Section 6(h)(iii)(C) below, each Option and Unit Appreciation Right 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 Section 6(h)(iii)(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 and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the General Partner, the Partnership or any Affiliate. 

(C) To the extent specifically provided by the Committee with respect to an Option or Unit Appreciation Right, an Option or Unit
Appreciation Right may be transferred by a Participant without consideration to immediate family members or related family trusts, limited partnerships or similar entities or on such terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time
establish. 
 (iv) Term of Awards. The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee.

 (v) Unit Certificates. All certificates for Units or other securities of the Partnership delivered under the Plan
pursuant to any Award or the exercise 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 other requirements of the SEC, any stock 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 to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 (vi) Consideration for Grants. 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, 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 General
Partner is not reasonably able to obtain Units to deliver 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 General
Partner. 
 (viii) Change of Control. No Award that constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b), whether by design, due to a subsequent modification in the terms and conditions of such Award or as a result of a change in applicable law following the date of grant of such Award, and that is not
exempt from Section 409A of the Code pursuant to an applicable exemption (any such Award, a “409A 

  
 10 

 
Award”) shall become exercisable, or be settled or otherwise paid or distributed, pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, as a result of a Change of Control,
unless the event constituting such Change of Control also constitutes a “change in the ownership or effective control” or “in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the General Partner or the Partnership within
the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5); except that, to the extent permitted under Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, the time of exercise, payment or settlement of a 409A Award shall be
accelerated, or payment shall be made under the Plan in respect of such Award, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, to the extent necessary to pay income, withholding, employment or other
taxes imposed on such 409A Award. To the extent any 409A Award does not become exercisable or is not settled or otherwise payable upon a Change of Control as a result of the limitations described in the preceding sentence, it shall become
exercisable or be settled or otherwise payable upon the occurrence of an event that qualifies as a permissible time of distribution in respect of such 409A Award under Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, the Plan
and the terms of the governing Award Agreement. 
 (ix) Additional Agreements. Each Employee, Consultant or Director to
whom an Award is granted under this Plan may be required to agree in writing, as a condition to the grant of such Award or otherwise, to subject an Award that is exercised or settled following such Person’s termination of services with the
General Partner, the Partnership or their Affiliates to a general release of claims and/or a noncompetition agreement in favor of the General Partner, the Partnership, and their Affiliates, with the terms and conditions of such agreement(s) to be
determined in good faith by the Committee. 
 Section 7. Amendment and Termination. Except to the
extent prohibited by applicable law: 
 (a) Amendments to the Plan. Except as required by the rules of the principal
securities exchange on which the Units are traded and subject to Section 7(b) below, the Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan in any manner, including increasing the number of Units available for Awards under the
Plan, without the consent of any partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or any other Person. 
 (b)
Amendments to Awards. Subject to Section 7(a), the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided no change, other than pursuant to Section 7(c), in any Award
shall materially reduce the benefit to a Participant without the consent of such Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may amend the Plan or an Award to cause such Award to be exempt from Code Section 409A or to comply with the
requirements of Code Section 409A or any other applicable law. 
 (c) Actions Upon the Occurrence of Certain Events.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, any change in applicable law or regulation affecting the Plan or Awards thereunder, or any change in accounting principles affecting the financial statements of the Partnership, the Committee, in its sole
discretion, without the consent of any Participant or holder of the Award, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, may take any one 

  
 11 

 
or more of the following actions in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or an outstanding Award:

 (i) provide for either (A) the termination of any Award in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount
that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights (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 attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the General Partner without payment); provided, that, in the event the occurrence giving
rise to the Committee’s exercise of its powers under this Section 7(c) is a transaction pursuant to which the Partnership or the General Partner is survived by a successor entity with a readily tradable security, the Committee shall not
have the authority to terminate and cash out any such Award pursuant to this Section 7(c)(i)(A) but will instead but required to provide for the assumption of such Awards by the successor or survivor entity in accordance with
Section 7(c)(ii) below, or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion; 
 (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, and in the number and kind of outstanding Awards or in the terms and conditions of
(including the exercise price), and the vesting and performance criteria included in, outstanding Awards, or both; 
 (iv)
provide that such Award shall be exercisable or payable, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement; and 
 (v) provide that the Award cannot be exercised or become payable after such event, i.e., shall terminate upon such event. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any such action contemplated under this Section 7 shall be effective only to the extent that such action will not cause any Award that is designed to satisfy
Code Section 409A to fail to satisfy such section, and (ii) with respect to an above event that is an “equity restructuring” event that would be subject to a compensation expense pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards
Codification, Topic 718, the provisions in Section 4(c) shall control to the extent they are in conflict with the discretionary provisions of this Section 7. 
 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. 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 General Partner or an
Affiliate, the Partnership or Affiliate is authorized to withhold from 

  
 12 

 
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, Units, Units that would otherwise be issued
pursuant to such Award or other property) of any applicable taxes payable in respect of the grant of an Award, its exercise, the lapse of restrictions thereon, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action
as may be necessary in the opinion of the General Partner or Affiliate to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes. 
 (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 General Partner or any Affiliate or to
remain on the Board, as applicable. Furthermore, the General Partner or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any
Award Agreement or other agreement. 
 (d) 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 Texas without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. 
 (e) 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. 

(f) 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 General Partner 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. 
 (g) 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 General Partner or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right
to receive payments from the General Partner or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the General Partner or such Affiliate. 

(h) 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. 

  
 13 

 (i) 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 thereof. 

(j) 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 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 General Partner shall be relieved of
any further liability for payment of such amounts. 
 (k) Participation by Affiliates. In making Awards to Employees
employed by an entity other than the General Partner, the Committee shall be acting on behalf of the Affiliate, and to the extent the Partnership has an obligation to reimburse the Affiliate for compensation paid for services rendered for the
benefit of the Partnership, such payments or reimbursement payments may be made by the Partnership directly to the Affiliate. 

(l) Gender and Number. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural shall include the singular and
the singular shall include the plural. 
 (m) Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to
the contrary, any Award subject to Code Section 409A is intended to satisfy the application of Code Section 409A to the Award. 
 (n) No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. None of the Board, the Committee, the Partnership nor the General Partner makes any commitment or guarantee that any federal, state or local tax treatment will
(or will not) apply or be available to any Participant. 
 (o) Specified Employee under Code Section 409A. Subject
to any other restrictions or limitations contained herein, in the event that a “specified employee” (as defined under Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) becomes entitled to a payment under an Award which is a
409A Award on account of a “separation from service” (as defined under Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder), such payment shall not occur until the date that is six months plus one day from the date of such
separation from service. Any amount that is otherwise payable within the six month period described herein will be aggregated and paid in a lump sum without interest. 
 Section 9. Term of the Plan. The Plan shall be effective on the date of its approval by the Board and shall continue until the earliest of (i) the date terminated by the
Board, (ii) all Units available under the Plan have been paid to Participants, or (iii) the 10th anniversary of the date the Plan, as amended and restated, is approved by the Board. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an
applicable Award Agreement, however, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of 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. 

  
 14 

 Section 10. Adoption by Affiliates. With the consent of the
Committee, any Affiliate that is not considered a single employer with the Partnership under Code Section 414(b) or Code Section 414(c) may adopt the Plan for the benefit of its Employees, Consultants or Directors by written instrument
delivered to the Committee before the grant to such Affiliate’s Employees, Consultants or Directors under the Plan of any 409A Award. 

  
 15Form of Director Indemnification Agreement

 Exhibit 10.8 
 FORM OF DIRECTOR INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 This Indemnification Agreement
(this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this [Insert Day] day of [Insert Month], 20    , by and among Memorial Production Partners GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
“General Partner”); Memorial Production Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership,” and together with the General Partner, the “Companies” and each a “Company”);
and [Insert Director Name] (“Indemnitee”). Each of the defined terms used in this Agreement shall have the definition set forth in Section 14. 
 WHEREAS, in light of the litigation costs and risks to directors and officers resulting from their service to companies and the desire of the Companies to attract and retain qualified individuals
to serve as directors and officers, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Companies to indemnify and advance expenses on behalf of the directors (including directors that also serve as officers) of the General Partner to the extent
permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Companies free from undue concern regarding such risks; 
 WHEREAS, the Companies have requested that Indemnitee serve or continue to serve as a director (and officer, as applicable) of the General Partner and may have requested or may in the future
request that Indemnitee serve one or more Enterprises as a director or in other capacities; 
 WHEREAS, in order to
induce Indemnitee to serve, or to continue to serve, as a director of the General Partner, and to agree to serve, from time to time, as any Company may request, in any other Corporate Status, the Companies are executing this Agreement; 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve as a director of the General Partner or in any other Corporate Status on the condition
that Indemnitee be so indemnified; 
 WHEREAS, the indemnification provisions of this Agreement are a supplement to and
in furtherance of the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, as amended from time to time after the date hereof (the “Partnership Certificate”), the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the
Partnership, as amended from time to time after the date hereof in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Partnership Agreement”), the Certificate of Formation of the General Partner, as amended from time to time after the date
hereof (the “General Partner Certificate”), and the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the General Partner, as amended from time to time after the date hereof in accordance with the terms thereof (the
“General Partner Agreement” and, together with the Partnership Certificate, the Partnership Agreement and the General Partner Certificate, the “Company Organizational Documents”), any organizational documents of any
other Enterprise (collectively, the “Enterprise Organizational Documents”) and any resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors (pursuant to the General Partner Agreement or the Partnership Agreement) or similar governing body of
any other Enterprise, and shall not be deemed to be a substitute therefor nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and 
 WHEREAS, to the extent Indemnitee is employed by a Sponsor Company, Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by the Designating Partners
(or their affiliates), which Indemnitee, the Companies and the 

 
Designating Partners (or their affiliates) intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Enterprise Entities to indemnify Indemnitee as provided herein or as provided in the Company
Organizational Documents or other Enterprise Organizational Documents, with the Companies’ acknowledgement of and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s willingness to serve as a director of the General
Partner or in any other Corporate Status. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants
contained herein, the Companies and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
 1. Services by Indemnitee. Indemnitee will
serve or continue to serve as a director of the General Partner (and an officer, if applicable), for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders Indemnitee’s resignation or is removed in accordance with the
General Partner Agreement. Indemnitee may from time to time also agree to serve, as any Company may request from time to time, in any other Corporate Status. Indemnitee and each Company each acknowledge that they have entered into this Agreement as
a means of inducing Indemnitee to serve, or continue to serve, the Companies and any Enterprise in such capacities. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position or positions (subject to any other contractual obligation or
any obligation imposed by operation of law). 
 2. Indemnification—General. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, the Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and so long as Indemnitee has not engaged in Disabling Conduct, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, all losses,
liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, costs, Expenses and other amounts that Indemnitee reasonably incurs and that result from, arise in connection with or are by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status and shall advance Expenses to
Indemnitee. The obligations of the Companies under this Agreement (a) are joint and several obligations of each Company, (b) shall continue after such time as Indemnitee ceases to serve as a director of the General Partner or in any other
Corporate Status and (c) include claims for monetary damages against Indemnitee in respect of any actual or alleged liability or other loss of Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law as in existence on the date hereof
(and to such greater extent as applicable law may hereafter from time to time permit) provided that Indemnitee has not engaged in Disabling Conduct. The other provisions in this Agreement are provided in addition to and as a means of furtherance and
implementation of, and not in limitation of, the obligations expressed in this Section 2. 
 3. Proceedings Other Than
Proceedings by or in the Right of the Companies. If, in connection with or by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee was, 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 any of the Companies to procure a judgment in its favor, the Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and so long as Indemnitee has not engaged in Disabling Conduct, indemnify Indemnitee with
respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, all Expenses, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect
of such liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein. 

  
 2 

 4. Proceedings by or in the Right of the Companies. If, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status, Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of any of the Companies to procure a judgment in its favor, the Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law and so long as Indemnitee has not engaged in Disabling Conduct, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in
connection with such Proceeding; provided, however, that indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be liable to the applicable Company only if (and only to the extent that) the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is pending shall determine that, despite such adjudication of liability and in view of all
circumstances, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses which the court shall deem proper. 
 5. Mandatory
Indemnification in Case of Successful Defense. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding (including any Proceeding brought by or in the right of any Company), the Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and so long as Indemnitee has not engaged in Disabling
Conduct, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in defense of
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 Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and so long as Indemnitee has
not engaged in Disabling Conduct, indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 5 and
without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, on substantive or procedural grounds, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

 6. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise to indemnification by any of
the Companies for some or a portion of the Expenses, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such liabilities,
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Companies shall, to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law and so long as Indemnitee has not engaged in Disabling Conduct, indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent to which Indemnitee is entitled to such indemnification. 

7. Indemnification for Additional Expenses Incurred to Secure Recovery or as Witness. 

(a) The Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and so long as Indemnitee has not engaged in Disabling
Conduct, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall advance on an as-incurred basis (as provided in Section 8) such Expenses to

  
 3 

 
Indemnitee, which are reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action or proceeding or part thereof brought by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or advance payment of
Expenses by the Companies under this Agreement, the Company Organizational Documents or other Enterprise Organizational Document, or any other agreement; or (ii) recovery under any director and officer liability insurance policies maintained by
any Company or other Enterprise. 
 (b) To the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a
witness (or is forced or asked to respond to discovery requests) in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, the Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and so long as Indemnitee has not engaged in Disabling
Conduct, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, and the Companies will advance on an as-incurred basis (as provided in Section 8), all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of
Indemnitee in connection therewith. 
 8. Advancement of Expenses. The Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable
law, pay on a current and as-incurred basis all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding in any way connected with, resulting from or relating to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status. The advancement of such Expenses shall be
paid within 10 days after receipt by any Company of a properly submitted written request for advancement from Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9(c)(i), without regard to whether an Adverse Determination has been or may be made, except as
contemplated by the last sentence of Section 9(f). Upon submission of a request for advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 9(c), Indemnitee shall be entitled to advancement of Expenses as provided in this Section 8, and
such advancement of Expenses shall continue until such time (if any) as there is a final non-appealable judicial determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or that Indemnitee engaged in Disabling Conduct. Indemnitee shall repay
all such amounts advanced if and to the extent that it shall ultimately be determined in a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Companies for such
Expenses or that Indemnitee engaged in Disabling Conduct. Such repayment obligation shall be unsecured and shall not bear interest. The Companies shall not impose on Indemnitee additional conditions to advancement or require from Indemnitee
additional undertakings regarding repayment, except as set forth in this Agreement. 
 9. Indemnification Procedures. 

(a) Notice of Proceeding. Indemnitee agrees to notify the Companies promptly 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 hereunder. Any failure by Indemnitee to notify any Company will relieve such
Company of its advancement or indemnification obligations under this Agreement only to the extent such Company can establish that such omission to notify resulted in actual prejudice to it, and the omission to notify such Company will, in any event,
not relieve any Company from any liability which it may have to indemnify Indemnitee or advance Expenses to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. If, at the time of receipt of any such notice, the Companies have director and officer
insurance policies in effect, the Companies will promptly notify the relevant insurers in accordance with the procedures and requirements of such policies. 

  
 4 

 (b) Defense; Settlement. 

(i) The Companies shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which may be provided or withheld in Indemnitee’s sole
discretion, effect any settlement of any Proceeding against Indemnitee, or any proceeding which could have been brought against Indemnitee or which potentially or actually imposes any cost, liability, exposure or burden on Indemnitee, unless such
settlement solely involves the payment of money or performance of any obligation by Persons other than Indemnitee and includes an unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability on any matters that are the subject of such Proceeding and an
acknowledgment that Indemnitee denies all wrongdoing in connection with such matters. The Companies shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding against Indemnitee if such settlement is effected by
Indemnitee without the Companies’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (ii) In any
Proceeding in connection with which Indemnitee has submitted a Company with a written request for advancement and/or indemnification of Expenses pursuant to Section 9(c), such Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such
Proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of such Company’s election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel
by Indemnitee, and retention of such counsel by such Company, Indemnitee shall nevertheless be entitled to employ or continue to employ his own counsel in such Proceeding. Employment of such counsel by Indemnitee shall be at the cost and expense of
the Companies unless and until the Companies shall have demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s counsel that there is no conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in such Proceeding, after which
time, further employment of such counsel by the Indemnitee shall be at the cost and expense of Indemnitee. 
 (c) Request for
Advancement; Request for Indemnification. 
 (i) To obtain advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall
submit to the Companies a written request therefor, together with such invoices or other supporting information as may be reasonably requested by the Companies and reasonably available to Indemnitee, and, only to the extent required by applicable
law which cannot be waived, an unsecured written undertaking to repay amounts advanced. The Companies shall make advance payment of Expenses to Indemnitee no later than 10 days after receipt of the written request for advancement (and each
subsequent request for advancement) by Indemnitee. If, at the time of receipt of any such written request for advancement of Expenses, the Companies have director and officer insurance policies in effect, the Companies will promptly notify the
relevant insurers in accordance with the procedures and requirements of such policies. 
 (ii) To obtain indemnification under
this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit a written request therefor. The time at which Indemnitee submits a written request for indemnification shall be determined by the Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s sole discretion. Once Indemnitee submits
such a written request for indemnification (and only at such time that Indemnitee submits such a written request for indemnification), a Determination shall thereafter be made, as provided in and only to the extent required by Section 9(d).
In no event shall a Determination be made, or required to be made, as a condition to or otherwise in connection with 

  
 5 

 
any advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 8 and Section 9(c)(i). If, at the time of receipt of any such request for indemnification, the Companies have director and officer
insurance policies in effect, the Companies will promptly notify the relevant insurers in accordance with the procedures and requirements of such policies. 
 (d) Determination. Any Determination shall be made within 30 days after receipt of Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(c)(ii) (or in the case of a
Determination to be made by Independent Counsel within 30 days of the selection of Independent Counsel) and such Determination shall be made, subject to Section 9(g), in the specific case as follows: 

(i) If a Potential Change in Control or a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel (selected in accordance with
Section 9(e)) in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which opinion shall be delivered to Indemnitee, unless Indemnitee shall request that such Determination be made by the Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of
Directors, in which case the Determination shall be made by the Persons and in the manners provided for in clauses (x) or (y) of Section 9(d)(ii); or 
 (ii) If a Potential Change in Control or a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (x) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors even though less than a quorum of
the Board of Directors, (y) by a majority vote of a committee consisting solely of one or more Disinterested Directors designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of all Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the
Board of Directors, or (z) if there are no Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, with
Independent Counsel being selected by a vote of the Disinterested Directors as set forth in clauses (x) or (y) of this Section 9(d)(ii), or if such vote is not obtainable or such a committee of Disinterested Directors cannot be
established, by a majority vote of the Board of Directors. 
 If a Determination is made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment
to Indemnitee shall be made within 10 days after such Determination. Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Persons making such Determination, including providing to such Persons 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 the making of such Determination. Any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the
Persons making such Determination shall be advanced and borne by the Companies (irrespective of the Determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification), and each Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

 (e) Independent Counsel. If a Potential Change in Control or a Change in Control shall not have occurred and the
Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by (i) a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board or (ii) if there are no Disinterested
Directors, a majority vote of the Board, and the General Partner shall give written notice to Indemnitee, within 10 days after receipt by the General Partner of Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, specifying the identity and address of
the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Potential Change in Control or 

  
 6 

 
a Change in Control shall have occurred and the Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, and Indemnitee shall give written
notice to the General Partner, within 10 days after submission of Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, specifying the identity and address of the Independent Counsel so selected (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made
by (i) a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, or (ii) if there are no Disinterested Directors, a majority vote of the Board, in which event the General Partner shall give written notice
to Indemnitee within 10 days after receipt of Indemnitee’s request that such selection be made by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors or the Board, as applicable, specifying the identity and address of the Independent Counsel so
selected). In either event, (A) such notice to Indemnitee or the General Partner, as the case may be, shall be accompanied by a written affirmation of the Independent Counsel so selected that it satisfies the requirements of the definition of
“Independent Counsel” in Section 14 and that it agrees to serve in such capacity and (B) Indemnitee or the General Partner, as the case may be, may, within 7 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given,
deliver to the General Partner or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection. Any objection to the selection of Independent Counsel pursuant to this Section 9(e) may be asserted only on the ground that the
Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of the definition of “Independent Counsel” in Section 14, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If such written
objection is timely made, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction (a “Court”) has determined that such objection is without merit. In the event of a
timely written objection to a choice of Independent Counsel, the party originally selecting the Independent Counsel shall have 7 days to make an alternate selection of Independent Counsel and to give written notice of such selection to the other
party, after which time such other party shall have 5 days to make a written objection to such alternate selection. If, within 30 days after submission of Indemnitee’s request for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(c)(ii), no
Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the General Partner or Indemnitee may petition the Court for resolution of any objection that shall have been made by the General Partner or Indemnitee to the other’s
selection of Independent Counsel 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 an objection is so resolved or the Person so
appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 9(d). The Companies shall pay any and all fees and expenses reasonably incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 9(d), and the
Companies shall pay all fees and expenses reasonably incurred incident to the procedures of this Section 9(e), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. Upon the due commencement of any
Proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 9(f), Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity, pending final disposition of such Proceeding or arbitration and subject to the
applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing. 
 (f) Consequences of Determination; Remedies of
Indemnitee. The Companies shall be bound by and shall have no right to challenge a Favorable Determination. If an Adverse Determination is made, or if for any other reason the Companies do not make timely indemnification payments or advances of
Expenses, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence a Proceeding before a Court to challenge such Adverse Determination or to require the Companies to make such payments or advances (and the Companies shall have the right to

  
 7 

 
defend their position in such Proceeding and to appeal any adverse judgment in such Proceeding). Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Expenses incurred in connection with such a
Proceeding and to have such Expenses advanced by the Companies in accordance with Section 8. If Indemnitee fails to challenge an Adverse Determination, or if Indemnitee challenges an Adverse Determination and such Adverse Determination has
been upheld by a final judgment of a Court from which no appeal can be taken, then, to the extent and only to the extent required by such Adverse Determination or final judgment, the Companies shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee under
this Agreement. 
 (g) Presumptions; Burden and Standard of Proof. The parties intend and agree that, to the extent
permitted by law, in connection with any Determination by any Person, including a Court: 
 (i) it will be presumed that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, and the Enterprise or any other Person challenging such right will have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with any Determination contrary to that
presumption; 
 (ii) the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the applicable
Enterprise, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, or that Indemnitee did not act in accordance with any other applicable standard of
conduct imposed by contract, applicable law or otherwise; 
 (iii) Indemnitee will be deemed to have acted in good faith if it
is determined by a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of the applicable Enterprise or by Independent Counsel, as applicable, that Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the applicable
Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers, employees, or committees of the board of directors or other governing body of the applicable Enterprise, or on the advice of legal counsel for the
applicable Enterprise or on information or records given in reports made to the applicable Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert or advisor selected by the applicable Enterprise; and 

(iv) the knowledge and actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, manager, representative, agent or employee of any Enterprise
or other relevant enterprises will not be imputed to Indemnitee in a manner that limits or otherwise adversely affects Indemnitee’s rights hereunder.

 10. Insurance; Subrogation; Other Rights of Recovery, Etc. 

(a) The General Partner shall use its reasonable best efforts to purchase and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable
insurance companies with A.M. Best ratings of “A” or better, and with that coverage reasonably presented by the selected carrier(s) as its most comprehensive coverage for claims asserted against Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf by
reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, or arising out of Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not any such Company would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability. Such insurance policies shall have coverage terms
and policy limits at least as favorable to Indemnitee as the insurance coverage provided to any other current or former officer or director of the General Partner. If a Company has such insurance in effect at the time it receives from Indemnitee any
notice of the commencement of an action, suit, proceeding or other claim, such Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such action, suit, proceeding or other claim to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
policy. The Companies shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such action, suit, proceeding or other claim in accordance with the terms of
such policy, provided that the Companies shall not be liable to pay or advance to Indemnitee any amounts otherwise indemnifiable under this Agreement or under any other indemnification agreement if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise
actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. The Companies shall continue to provide such insurance coverage to Indemnitee for a period of at least six years after Indemnitee ceases to serve as a
director or any other Corporate Status. 
 (b) Subject to Section 10(d), in the event of any payment by any Company under
this Agreement, such Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against any other Enterprise, and Indemnitee hereby agrees, as a condition to obtaining any advancement or indemnification
from the Companies, to assign to such Company all of Indemnitee’s rights to obtain from such other Enterprise such amounts to the extent that they have been paid by such Company to or for the benefit of Indemnitee as advancement or
indemnification under this Agreement and are adequate to indemnify Indemnitee with respect to the costs, Expenses or other items to the full extent that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or other payment hereunder; and Indemnitee will (upon
request by the Companies) execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable such Company to bring suit or enforce such rights. In addition, if the
General Partner, on behalf of itself, pays or causes to be paid (including advancement of Expenses), for any reason, any amounts otherwise indemnifiable or payable hereunder or under any other indemnification agreement or arrangement (whether
pursuant to contract, Company Organizational Documents or other Enterprise Organizational Documents or otherwise) with Indemnitee, then the Partnership shall fully indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the General Partner for all such payments
actually made by the General Partner. 
 (c) Each of the Companies hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, relinquishes
and releases, and covenants and agrees not to exercise (and to cause each of the other Enterprises not to exercise), any rights that such Company or any other Enterprise, as the case may be, may now have or hereafter acquire against any Designating
Partner (or former Designating Partner) or any of their respective affiliates that arise from or relate to the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Companies’ obligations under this Agreement or

  
 9 

 
under any other indemnification agreement or arrangement (whether pursuant to contract, Company Organizational Documents or other Enterprise Organizational Documents or otherwise) with any
Person, including any right of subrogation (whether pursuant to contract or common law), reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, or to be held harmless, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Indemnitee against
any Designating Partner (or former Designating Partner) or any of their respective affiliates, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any
Designating Partner (or former Designating Partner) or any of their respective affiliates, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right.

 (d) The Companies shall not be liable to pay or advance to Indemnitee any amounts otherwise indemnifiable under this
Agreement or under any other indemnification agreement if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that (i) the Companies
hereby agree on behalf of themselves and each other Enterprise Entity, that, irrespective of whether Indemnitee is employed by a Sponsor Company and therefore may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided
by the Designating Partners or their affiliates, the Enterprise Entities are the indemnitors of first resort under this Agreement, the Company Organizational Documents or other Enterprise Organizational Documents or any other indemnification
agreement, arrangement or undertaking (i.e., the Enterprise Entities’ obligations to Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other agreement or undertaking to provide advancement of Expenses and indemnification to Indemnitee are primary without
regard to any rights Indemnitee may have to seek or obtain indemnification or advancement of Expenses from any Designating Partner or any of its affiliates other than an Enterprise Entity (or any former Designating Partner or any of its affiliates
other than an Enterprise Entity) or from any insurance policy for the benefit of such Indemnitee (other than any directors’ and officers’ insurance policy for the benefit of such Indemnitee maintained or paid for by any Enterprise), and
any obligation of any Designating Partner (or any affiliate thereof other than any Enterprise) to provide advancement or indemnification for all or any portion of the same Expenses, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in
settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by Indemnitee and any rights of
recovery of Indemnitee under any insurance policy for the benefit of such Indemnitee (other than any directors’ and officers’ insurance policy for the benefit of such Indemnitee maintained or paid for by any Enterprise) are secondary), and
(ii) if any Designating Partner or any of its affiliates other than an Enterprise Entity (or any former Designating Partner or any of its affiliates other than an Enterprise Entity) pays or causes to be paid, for any reason, or if Indemnitee
collects under any insurance policy for the benefit of such Indemnitee (other than any directors’ and officers’ insurance policy for the benefit of such Indemnitee maintained or paid for by any Enterprise), any amounts otherwise payable or
indemnifiable hereunder or under any other indemnification agreement, arrangement or undertaking (whether pursuant to contract, organizational document or otherwise) with Indemnitee, then (x) such Designating Partner, former Designating Partner
(or affiliate, as the case may be) or insurer, as applicable, shall be fully subrogated to all rights of Indemnitee with respect to such payment and (y) the Companies shall fully indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless such Designating Partner,
former Designating Partner (or such affiliate) or insurer, as applicable, for all such payments actually made by such Designating Partner, former Designating Partner (or such affiliate) or insurer. 

  
 10 

 (e) Subject to Section 10(d), the Companies’ obligation to indemnify or advance
Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee in respect of or relating to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as payment of indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other Enterprise,
except to the extent that such indemnification payments and advance payment of Expenses when taken together with any such amount actually received from other Enterprises or under director and officer insurance policies maintained by one or more
Enterprises are inadequate to fully pay all costs, Expenses or other items to the full extent that Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification or other payment hereunder. 

(f) Except for the rights set forth in Sections 10(c), 10(d) and 10(e), the rights to indemnification and
advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time, whenever conferred or arising, be entitled under applicable law, the Company Organizational Documents or
other Enterprise Organizational Documents or any other agreement, resolution of directors (or similar governing body) of any Enterprise, or otherwise. Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement are present contractual rights that fully vest upon
Indemnitee’s first service as a director (and officer, if applicable) of the General Partner. The Parties hereby agree that Sections 10(c), 10(d) and 10(e) shall be deemed exclusive and shall be deemed to modify, amend and
clarify any right to indemnification or advancement provided to Indemnitee under any other contract, agreement or document with any Enterprise relating to advancement or indemnification. 

(g) 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 Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. 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. 
 11. Employment Rights; Successors; Third Party
Beneficiaries. 
 (a) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving Indemnitee any right to be, or to be
retained, in the employment of any of the Enterprise Entities. This Agreement shall continue in force as provided above after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director of the General Partner or in any other Corporate Status. 

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon each of the Companies and their successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. 
 (c) The Designating Partners are express third party
beneficiaries of this Agreement, are entitled to rely upon this Agreement, and may specifically enforce the Companies’ obligations hereunder (including but not limited to the obligations specified in Section 10) as though a
party hereunder. 

  
 11 

 12. 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 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; (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 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. 
 13. Exceptions to Right of Indemnification or Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and except as provided in Section 7(a) or as may otherwise be
agreed by any Company, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee (other than a Proceeding by Indemnitee (i) to enforce
Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement or (ii) to enforce any other rights of Indemnitee to indemnification, advancement or contribution from the Companies under any other contract, Company Organizational Document, Enterprise
Organizational Document or under statute or other law), unless the initiation of such Proceeding or making of such claim shall have been approved by the Board of Directors of the General Partner. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that Indemnitee is an officer of a Company or any Enterprise, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding if it is
determined by a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of the applicable Enterprise or by Independent Counsel, as applicable, that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the Companies or any such Enterprise.
