ARTICLE 2 
 SECONDMENT

 2.1 Seconded Employees. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Hess agrees to second the Seconded Employees to the General Partner, and the
General Partner agrees to accept the Secondment of the Seconded Employees for the purpose of performing job functions related to the Assets and any other assets held from and after the Effective Date by any member of the Public Company Group,
including those job functions set forth on Exhibit B (the “Employee Functions”). The Seconded Employees will remain at all times the employees of Hess, and will also be
co-employees of the General Partner during the Period of Secondment. The Seconded Employees shall, at all times during the Period of Secondment while performing any Employee Function hereunder, work under the
direction, supervision and control of the General Partner or the applicable member of the Public Company Group. Seconded Employees shall have no authority or apparent authority to act on behalf of Hess during the Period of Secondment. Those rights
and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that relate to individuals that were Seconded Employees but then later ceased to be Seconded Employees, which rights and obligations accrued during the Period of Secondment, will survive the
removal of such individual from the group of Seconded Employees to the extent necessary to enforce such rights and obligations. 
 2.2 Period of
Secondment. Hess will second the Seconded Employees to the General Partner starting on the Effective Date and continuing, during the period (and only during the period) that the Seconded Employees are performing functions for the General
Partner, until the earliest of: 
 (a) the end of the term of this Agreement; 

(b) such end date set forth for any Seconded Employees as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Parties (as applicable, the “End
Date”); 
 (c) a withdrawal, departure, resignation or termination of such Seconded Employees under Section 2.3; and

 (d) a termination of Secondment of such Seconded Employees under Section 2.4. 

The period of time that any Seconded Employee is provided by Hess to the General Partner is referred to in this Agreement as the “Period of
Secondment.” At the end of the Period of Secondment for any Seconded Employee, such Seconded Employee will no longer be subject to the direction by the General Partner of the Seconded Employee’s day-to-day activities. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge that the Seconded Employees may also perform functions for Hess in connection with its own operations and that
the Parties intend that the Seconded Employees shall be seconded to the General Partner only during those times that the Seconded Employees are performing functions for the General Partner hereunder. 

2.3 Withdrawal, Departure or Resignation. 
 (a) Hess will
use reasonable efforts to prevent any early withdrawal, departure or resignation of any Seconded Employee prior to the End Date for such Seconded Employee’s Period of Secondment. If any Seconded Employee tenders his or her resignation to Hess
as an employee of Hess, Hess will promptly notify the General Partner. During 

 
the Period of Secondment of any Seconded Employee, Hess will not voluntarily withdraw or terminate any Seconded Employee except with the written consent of the General Partner, such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld. Upon the termination of its employment with Hess, a Seconded Employee will cease performing services for the General Partner or the applicable member of the Public Company Group. 

(b) Hess will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the General Partner, the other members of the Public Company Group and their respective directors, officers
and employees against all Losses arising out of or in any way connected with or related to the termination of employment of a Seconded Employee by Hess without the prior written consent of the General Partner, EVEN THOUGH SUCH LOSS MAY BE CAUSED
BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ONE OR MORE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC COMPANY GROUP, except to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from the sole negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any member of the Public Company Group. 

2.4 Termination of Secondment. The General Partner will have the right to terminate the Secondment of any Seconded Employee for any reason at any time.
Upon the termination of the Secondment of any Seconded Employee, such Seconded Employee will cease performing services for the General Partner or the applicable member of the Public Company Group. 

(a) Upon the termination by Hess of any Seconded Employee’s Period of Secondment without the prior written consent of the General Partner, Hess will be
solely liable for any costs or expenses associated with the termination of such Seconded Employee’s Secondment, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement. Hess will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the General Partner, the
other members of the Public Company Group and their respective directors, officers and employees against all Losses arising out of or in any way connected with or related to the termination of the Secondment of a Seconded Employee by Hess without
the prior written consent of the General Partner, EVEN THOUGH SUCH LOSS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ONE OR MORE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC COMPANY GROUP, except to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from the sole negligence,
gross negligence or willful misconduct of any member of the Public Company Group. 
 2.5 Supervision. 

(a) During the Period of Secondment, the General Partner will serve as the employer directly controlling the Seconded Employees providing Employee Functions
and will retain the exclusive right, solely to the extent it relates to the Period of Secondment, to: 
 (i) be ultimately and fully responsible for the
daily work assignments of the Seconded Employees during those times that the Seconded Employees are performing functions for the General Partner hereunder, including supervision of their the day-to-day work activities and ensuring that such Seconded Employee’s performance is consistent with the purposes stated in Section 2.1 and the job functions associated with the
Employee Functions; 
 (ii) to handle any performance issues of Seconded Employees; 

(iii) set the hours of work and the holidays and vacation schedules for Seconded Employees; and 

(iv) have the right to determine training that will be received by the Seconded Employees. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hess shall be responsible for administering the payment of each Seconded Employee’s wages and benefits, all
withholding obligations to federal, state and local tax and insurance authorities, and all other costs and expenses associated with Seconded Employees, including workers’ compensation expenses. 

(c) In the course and scope of performing any Seconded Employee job functions, the Seconded Employees will be integrated into the organization of the General
Partner, will report into the General Partner’s management structure, and will be under the direct management and supervision of the Company, in its capacity as the general partner of the MLP GP LP, in its capacity as the general partner of the
Partnership, respectively. 
 2.6 Seconded Employee Qualifications; Approval. Hess will provide such suitably qualified and experienced Seconded
Employees as Hess is able to make available to the General Partner, and the General Partner will have the right to approve such Seconded Employees. All Seconded Employees identified as of the Effective Date have been approved and accepted by the
General Partner as suitable for performing job functions related to the Employee Functions. 

 2.7 Workers’ Compensation Insurance. At all times, Hess will maintain workers’ compensation or
similar insurance (either through an insurance company or self-insured arrangement) applicable to the Seconded Employees, as required by applicable state and federal workers’ compensation and similar laws. 

2.8 Benefit Plans. Neither the General Partner nor any other member of the Public Company Group shall be deemed to be a participating employer in any
Benefit Plan during the Period of Secondment. Subject to the General Partner’s reimbursement obligations hereunder, Hess shall remain solely responsible for all obligations and liabilities arising under the express terms of the Benefit Plans,
and the Seconded Employees will be covered under the Benefit Plans subject to and in accordance with their respective terms and conditions, as may be amended from time to time. Hess and its ERISA Affiliates may amend or terminate any Benefit Plan in
whole or in part at any time. During the Period of Secondment, neither the General Partner nor any other member of the Public Company Group shall assume any Benefit Plan or have any obligations, liabilities or rights arising under the express terms
of the Benefit Plans, in each case except for cost reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 3 

SECONDMENT FEE 
 3.1 Secondment Fee.

 (a) The General Partner shall, or shall cause another member of the Public Company Group to, pay to Hess an annual fee, payable in equal monthly
installments, that will reflect the costs incurred by Hess with respect to its employment of the Seconded Employees (the “Secondment Fee”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Secondment Fee is intended to cover the
total cost of employing the Seconded Employees during the Period of Secondment (the “Total Services Costs”) to the extent such Total Services Costs are attributable to the provision of the Employee Functions. Hess shall
determine in good faith the percentage of the Total Services Costs that are attributable to the provision of the Employee Functions by the Seconded Employees to the General Partner based on Hess’s then-current corporate transfer pricing
policies, as generally applied in a non-discriminatory manner. To the extent that the amount of any cost or expense, once known, varies from the estimate used for determining the Secondment Fee hereunder, the
difference, once determined, shall be added to or subtracted from the Secondment Fee for the following year. 
 (b) For the avoidance of doubt, the
Secondment Fee shall not include any costs associated with equity-based compensation granted by Hess or the General Partner to the Seconded Employees; provided, however, that to the extent the General Partner grants any awards under any
incentive compensation plan of any member of the Public Company Group in effect from time to time, such awards shall be at the General Partner’s sole expense and the General Partner shall, or shall cause another member of the Public Company
Group to, reimburse Hess for any expenses Hess may incur with respect to such awards. 
 (c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Secondment Fee may
change from time to time, as determined by Hess in good faith, to accurately reflect the degree and extent of the Employee Functions provided to the General Partner by the Seconded Employees or to reflect any change in the cost of employing the
Seconded Employees. On or prior to January 1 of each calendar year during the term of this Agreement, Hess will provide the General Partner with an estimate of the Secondment Fee for the succeeding calendar year, and such Secondment Fee will be
invoiced to the General Partner in accordance with Section 3.1(d). 
 (d) Within 20 days following the end of each month during
the Period of Secondment, Hess shall send to the General Partner an invoice (in a form mutually agreed by the Parties) of the amounts due for such month setting forth the applicable portion of the Secondment Fee payable for such month and any
amounts reimbursable under this Agreement. The General Partner shall, or shall cause the other members of the Public Company Group to, pay such invoice by the later of (i) 30 days of receipt and (ii) the last Business Day of the month in
which the General Partner received such invoice, except for any amounts that are being disputed in good faith by the General Partner. If Hess determines that the amount reflected on any invoice previously sent to, and paid by, the General Partner
(or another member of the Public Company Group, as applicable) did not accurately state the amounts owed by the General Partner (for and on behalf of the Public Company Group) under this Section 3.1, Hess shall include
appropriate adjustments on the next invoice; provided, however, that such adjustments shall be included only to the extent that 

 
they relate to a month in the same calendar quarter as such invoice relates; provided further that Hess and the General Partner shall negotiate, in good faith, the timing of payment of any
such adjustments. Any such adjustments shall be separately stated and computed in such detail as is mutually agreed by Hess and the General Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments that do not relate to a month in the same calendar
quarter as such invoice relates shall not be due and payable by the General Partner or any other member of the Public Company Group. Any amounts that the General Partner has disputed in good faith and that are later determined by any court or other
competent authority having jurisdiction, or by agreement of the Parties, to be owing from the General Partner (for and on behalf of the Public Company Group) to Hess shall be paid in full within ten days of such determination, together with interest
thereon at the Interest Rate from the date due under the original invoice until the date of payment. For so long as Hess Corp. and its Affiliates, collectively, hold at least 

15% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in Takota GP, the General Partner and Hess may settle the General Partner’s financial obligations to
Hess hereunder through Hess’s normal interaffiliate settlement processes. 
 3.2 Cancellation or Reduction of Services. The General Partner may
terminate or reduce the level of any of the Employee Functions on 30 days’ prior written notice to Hess. In the event the General Partner terminates the Employee Functions, the General Partner shall, or shall cause another member of the Public
Company Group to, pay Hess the applicable monthly portion of the Secondment Fee for the last month (or portion thereof) in which it received Employee Functions. Upon payment thereof, the General Partner shall have no further payment obligation to
Hess under this Agreement. 
 3.3 Reimbursements for Other Costs and Expenses. This Agreement does not address the reimbursement of any costs or
expenses associated with any services provided by Hess and its Affiliates other than the Employee Functions. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts payable by the General Partner under this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not in duplication
of, any amounts payable by the General Partner or any other member of the Public Company Group under the Omnibus Agreement or the Operational Services Agreement. 

ARTICLE 4 
 ALLOCATION;
RECORDS 
 4.1 Allocation; Records. Hess will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain an allocation schedule reflecting the direct and
indirect costs that are included in the calculation of the Secondment Fee. The General Partner and its representatives will have the right to audit such records and such other records as the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with
its verification of the Secondment Fee during regular business hours and on reasonable prior notice. 
 4.2 Agent. The costs and expenses included in
the Secondment Fee remain the primary legal responsibility of the General Partner as the co-employer of the Seconded Employees during the Secondment Period. Hess agrees to act as agent for the General Partner
in paying such amounts to the employees temporarily assigned under this Secondment Agreement. Hess agrees to indemnify and hold the General Partner harmless from any and all Losses incurred by the General Partner or any other member of the Public
Company Group that are related to Hess’s failure to carry out its duties as agent for the payment of such amounts as set forth above. 

ARTICLE 5 
 TERM AND
TERMINATION 
 5.1 Term. Subject to Section 3.2 and Section 5.2, this Agreement shall have a
term beginning on the Effective Date and shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”); provided, however, that this Agreement may be extended by the General Partner for one
renewal term of ten years (the “Renewal Term”). To commence the Renewal Term, the General Partner shall provide written notice to Hess of the General Partner’s intent to renew this Agreement no less than 90 days prior to

 5.2 Termination. The Parties may terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Initial Term (or Renewal
Term, as applicable) as follows:

following Hess’ receipt of such written Notice, and (y) the Parties entering into a transition services agreement pursuant to Section 5.3, (2) withhold any payments due to the defaulting Party under this
Agreement or (3) pursue any other remedy at law or in equity. For purposes of this Section 5.2(a), a Party shall be in default under this Agreement if: 

(i) such Party materially breaches any provision of this Agreement and such breach is not cured within 15 Business Days after written Notice thereof (which
written Notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail) is received by such Party; or 
 (ii) such Party (A) files a petition or otherwise
commences, authorizes or acquiesces in the commencement of a proceeding or cause of action under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar Applicable Law, or has any such petition filed or commenced against it; (B) makes an
assignment or any general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (C) otherwise becomes bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced); or (D) has a liquidator, administrator, receiver, trustee, conservator or similar official appointed with
respect to it or any substantial portion of its property or assets. 
 (b) The General Partner may terminate this Agreement at any time upon 30 days’
prior written Notice to Hess; provided that such termination shall be effective on the earlier of (i) 90 days following Hess’ receipt of such written Notice, and (ii) the Parties entering into a transition services agreement pursuant
to Section 5.3, and only those provisions that, by their terms, expressly survive this Agreement shall so survive. 
 (c) At any time, should Hess
Corp. and its Affiliates collectively cease to hold at least 15% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in Takota GP, then any Party may terminate this Agreement upon written Notice to the other Parties and such termination shall be
effective on the earlier of (i) 90 days following the applicable Party’s receipt of such written Notice, and (ii) the Parties entering into a transition services agreement pursuant to Section 5.3. 

5.3 Transition Services Upon Termination. Should a notice of termination of this Agreement be delivered pursuant to
Section 5.2 (other than any such termination notice delivered by Hess pursuant to Section 5.2(a) due to a Company default), then the Parties shall, during the pendency of such termination, use
their commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon a transition services agreement.

Restricted Units granted under the Plan that are forfeited by the recipient thereof after the 10th anniversary of the effective date of the Plan shall not be added back to the number of Units that may be delivered under the Plan), the Units subject

consist, in whole or in part, of Units acquired in the open market, from the Partnership, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person, or Units otherwise issuable by the Partnership, or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee
in its discretion with the Partnership being responsible for any costs associated with the Units, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. 

  
 -6- 

 (c)    Anti-dilution Adjustments. 

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

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

including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. Options which are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(A) and UARs which are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(B) or, in each case, any successor regulation, may be
granted only if the requirements of Treasury Regulation 

  
 -7- 

 
Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii), or any successor regulation, are satisfied. Options and UARs that are otherwise exempt from or compliant with Section 409A may
be granted to any eligible Employee, Consultant or Director. 
 (i)    Exercise Price. The
exercise price per Unit purchasable under an Option or subject to a UAR shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option or UAR is granted but, except with respect to a Substitute Award, may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a
Unit as of the date of grant of the Option or UAR. 
 (ii)    Time and Method of Exercise. The
Committee shall determine the exercise terms and any applicable Restricted Period with respect to an Option or UAR, which may include, without limitation, provisions for accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals and/or
other events, and the method or methods by which payment of the exercise price with respect to an Option or UAR may be made or deemed to have been made, which may include, without limitation, cash, check acceptable to the Company, withholding Units
having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price from the Award, a “cashless” exercise through procedures approved by the Company, or any combination of the foregoing methods. 

(iii)    Exercise of Options and UARs on Termination of Service. Each Option and UAR Award Agreement
shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option or UAR following a termination of the Participant’s Service. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if the Participant’s Service is
terminated for Cause, the Participant’s right to exercise the Option or UAR shall terminate as of the start of business on the effective date of the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, to the extent the
Option or UAR is not vested and exercisable as of the termination of Service, the Option or UAR shall terminate when the Participant’s Service terminates. 

(iv)    Term of Options and UARs. The term of each Option and UAR shall be stated in the
Award Agreement, provided, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof.

as reasonably practicable following the vesting of each Restricted Unit, subject to satisfying the tax withholding obligations of Section 8(b), the Participant shall be entitled to have the restrictions removed from his or her Unit certificate (or

Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and/or Directors to whom DERs are granted, whether such DERs are tandem or separate Awards, whether the DERs shall be paid directly to the Participant, be credited to a
bookkeeping account (with or without interest in the discretion of the Committee), any vesting restrictions and payment provisions applicable to the DERs, and such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion,
all of which shall be specified in the applicable Award Agreements. Distributions in respect of DERs shall be credited as of the distribution dates during the period between the date an Award is granted to a Participant and the date such Award
vests, is exercised, is distributed or expires, as determined by the Committee. Such DERs shall be converted to cash, Units, Restricted Units and/or Phantom Units by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined
by the Committee. Tandem DERs may be subject to the same or different vesting restrictions as the tandem Award, or be subject to such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
DERs shall only be paid in a manner that is intended to be either exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A.  

(d)    Unit Awards. Awards of Units may be granted under the Plan (i) to such Employees, Consultants and/or
Directors and in such amounts as the Committee, in its discretion, may select, and (ii) subject to such other terms and conditions, including, without limitation, restrictions on transferability, as the Committee may establish with respect to
such Awards.

an Employee, Consultant or Director for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership (i) in the Participant’s capacity as a partner of the Partnership, (ii) in anticipation of the Participant becoming a partner
of the Partnership, or (iii) as otherwise determined by the Committee. At the time of grant, the Committee shall specify the date or dates on which the Profits Interest Units shall vest and become nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions
to vesting as it deems appropriate. Profits Interest Units shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Committee may impose. 

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

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

(h)    General. 

(i)    Award Agreements. Each Award shall be evidenced in writing in an Award Agreement that shall
reflect any vesting conditions or restrictions imposed by the Committee covering a period of time specified by the Committee and shall also contain such other terms, conditions and limitations as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion. Where signature or electronic acceptance of the Award Agreement by the Participant is required, any such Awards for which the Award Agreement is not signed or electronically accepted shall be forfeited. 

(ii)    Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of an Award Agreement, upon
termination of a Participant’s Service for any reason during an applicable Restricted Period, all outstanding, unvested Awards held by such Participant shall be automatically forfeited by the Participant. Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence, the Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to any such Award. 

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

(iv)    Limits on Transfer of Awards. 

(A)    Except as provided in paragraph (C) below, each Option and UAR shall be exercisable only by the
Participant (or the Participant’s legal representative in the case of the Participant’s Disability or incapacitation) 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. 

  
 -10- 

 (B)    Except as provided in paragraph (C) below, no
Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment,
alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company, the Partnership or any Affiliate of either of the foregoing. 

(C)    The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement or in its discretion that an Award may, on such
terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish, be transferred by a Participant without consideration to any “family member” of the Participant, as defined in the instructions to use of the Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act, as applicable, or any other transferee specifically approved by the Committee after taking into account any state, federal, local or foreign tax and securities
laws applicable to transferable Awards. In addition, vested Units may be transferred to the extent permitted by the Partnership Agreement and not otherwise prohibited by the Award Agreement or any other agreement or policy restricting the transfer
of such Units. 
 (v)    Term of Awards. Subject to Section 6(a)(iv) above, the term of each
Award, if any, shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee. 
 (vi)    Unit
Certificates. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, neither the Company nor the Partnership shall deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Units issued in connection with
any Award and instead such Units shall be recorded in the books of the Partnership (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or equity plan administrator). All certificates for Units or other securities of the Partnership delivered under the Plan and
all Units issued pursuant to book entry procedures pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations,
and/or other requirements of the SEC, any securities exchange upon which such Units or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be inscribed on any such
certificates or book entry to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 

(vii)    Consideration for Grants. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Awards may be granted
for such consideration, including services, as the Committee shall determine. 
 (viii)    Delivery of
Units or other Securities and Payment by Participant of Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries
evidencing Units pursuant to the exercise or vesting of any Award, unless and until the Board or the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance of such Units is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of

  
 -11- 

 
governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Units are listed or traded, and the Units are covered by an effective registration statement
or applicable exemption from registration. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board or the Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board or the
Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the delivery of Units pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award may be
deferred for any period during which, in the good faith determination of the Committee, the Company is not reasonably able to obtain or deliver Units pursuant to such Award without violating applicable law or the applicable rules or regulations of
any governmental agency or authority or securities exchange. No Units or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement
(including, without limitation, any exercise price or tax withholding) is received by the Company. 
 SECTION
7.    Amendment and Termination; Certain Transactions. 
 Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law: 

(a)    Amendments to the Plan. Except as required by applicable law or the rules of the principal securities
exchange, if any, on which the Units are traded and subject to Section 7(b) below, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan in any manner at any time for any reason or for no reason without the consent
of any partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or any other Person. The Board shall obtain securityholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or securities exchange listing
standards or rules. 
 (b)    Amendments to Awards. Subject to Section 7(a) above, the Committee may waive any
conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided that no change, other than pursuant to Section 7(c) below, in any Award shall materially reduce the rights or benefits of a Participant with respect to
an Award without the consent of such Participant. 
 (c)    Actions Upon the Occurrence of Certain Events. Upon
the occurrence of a Change in Control, any transaction or event described in Section 4(c) above, any change in applicable laws or regulations affecting the Plan or Awards hereunder, or any change in accounting principles affecting the financial
statements of the Company or the Partnership, the Committee, in its sole discretion, without the consent of any Participant or holder of an Award, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, which need not be uniform with respect to
all Participants or all Awards, may take any one or more of the following actions: 
 (i)    provide for
either (A) the termination of any Award in exchange for a payment in an amount, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights under such Award (and, for
the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of such transaction or 

  
 -12- 

 
event, the Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been payable upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be
terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion having an aggregate value not exceeding the amount that could have been attained upon
the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested; 

(ii)    provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor entity, or a parent or subsidiary
thereof, or be exchanged for similar options, rights or awards covering the equity of the successor or survivor, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of equity interests and prices; 

(iii)    make adjustments in the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) subject to
outstanding Awards, the number and kind of outstanding Awards, the terms and conditions of (including the exercise price), and/or the vesting and performance criteria included in, outstanding Awards; 

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

SECTION 8.    General Provisions. 

(a)    No Rights to Award. No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no
obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, including the treatment upon termination of Service or pursuant to Section 7(c). The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 

(b)    Tax Withholding. Unless other arrangements have been made that are acceptable to the Company in its sole
discretion, the Company or any Affiliate thereof is authorized to deduct or withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, (i) from any Award, (ii) from any 

  
 -13- 

 
payment due or transfer made under any Award or (iii) from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount of any applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company
or any Affiliate in respect of an Award, including taxes required to be withheld in connection with its grant, its exercise, the lapse of restrictions thereon or any payment or transfer thereunder or under the Plan, and to take such other action as
may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes. The Company or any Affiliate may withhold cash or Units, including Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to such Award or
other property. In the event that Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to an Award are used to satisfy such withholding obligations, the number of Units so withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Units that have a Fair
Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s withholding obligation based on the minimum applicable statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax
and payroll tax purposes. 
 (c)    No Right to Employment or Services. The grant of an Award shall not be
construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, or to continue to serve as a Consultant or a Director, as applicable. Furthermore, the Company, the Partnership
and/or an Affiliate thereof may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or consulting free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any Award Agreement or other written agreement
between any such entity and the Participant. 
 (d)    No Rights as Unitholder. Except as otherwise provided
herein, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a unitholder with respect to Units covered by any Award unless and until the Participant becomes the record owner of such Units. 

(e)    Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject
to Section 409A, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall be drafted with the intention to include the terms and conditions required by Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance
with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date (as defined in Section 9 below), the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A, the Committee
may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), and/or take any other actions that the Committee determines are
necessary or appropriate to attempt to preserve the intended tax treatment of the Award, including without limitation, actions intended to (i) exempt the Award from Section 409A, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall create any obligation on the part of the Committee, the Partnership, the Company or any of their Affiliates to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action, nor shall
the Committee, the Partnership, the Company or any of their Affiliates have any liability for failing to do so. If any termination of Service constitutes a payment event with respect to any Award which provides for the deferral of compensation and
is subject to Section 409A, such termination of Service must also constitute a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the time of payment with respect to any
Award that is subject to Section 409A shall not 

  
 -14- 

 
be accelerated, except as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4). Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if a
Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A as of the date of such Participant’s termination of Service and the Company determines that immediate payment of any amounts or benefits under this Plan would
cause a violation of Section 409A, then any amounts or benefits which are payable under this Plan upon the Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A that: (i) are subject to the provisions of
Section 409A; (ii) are not otherwise exempt under Section 409A; and (iii) would otherwise be payable during the first six-month period following such separation from service, shall be paid, without
interest, on the first business day following the earlier of: (1) the date that is six months and one day following the date of termination; or (2) the date of the Participant’s death. Each payment or amount due to a Participant under
this Plan shall be considered a separate payment, and a Participant’s entitlement to a series of payments under this Plan is to be treated as an entitlement to a series of separate payments. 

(f)    Lock-Up Agreement. Each Participant shall agree, if so requested by
the Company or the Partnership and any underwriter in connection with any public offering of securities of the Partnership or any Affiliate, not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase,
purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Units held by it for such period, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of
the relevant registration statement filed under the Securities Act in connection with such public offering, as such underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith. The Company or the Partnership may impose stop-transfer instructions with
respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such 180-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 180-day period may be extended for
up to such number of additional days as is deemed necessary by such underwriter or the Company or Partnership to continue coverage by research analysts in accordance with FINRA Rule 2711 or any successor rule. 

(g)    Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and
delivery of Units and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state,
federal and foreign securities law and margin requirements), the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Units are listed, quoted or traded, and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental
authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or the Partnership, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the Person acquiring such
securities shall, if requested by the Company or the Partnership, provide such assurances and representations to the Company or the Partnership as the Company or the Partnership may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all
applicable legal requirements. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. In the event an Award is
granted to or held by a Participant who is employed or providing services outside the United States, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of the Plan or of such Award as they pertain to such Participant to comply with
applicable foreign law 

  
 -15- 

 
or to recognize differences in local law, currency or tax policy. The Committee may also impose conditions on the grant, issuance, exercise, vesting, settlement or retention of Awards in order to
comply with such foreign law and/or to minimize the Company’s or the Partnership’s obligations with respect to tax equalization for Participants employed outside their home country. 

(h)    Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to
the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. 

(i)    Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes, or is deemed to be, invalid, illegal,
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or,
if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the
Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (j)    Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to
issue or transfer any Units or other consideration under an Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Units or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, the rules of the
principal securities exchange on which the Units are then traded, or entitle the Partnership or an Affiliate to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or
beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. 

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

(l)    No Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and
the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Units or whether such fractional Units or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise
eliminated. 
 (m)    Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a
convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision hereof. 

(n)    No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. None of the Board, the Committee, the Company or the Partnership provides
or has provided any tax advice to any Participant or any other Person or makes or has made any assurance, commitment or guarantee that any federal, 

  
 -16- 

 
state, local or other tax treatment will (or will not) apply or be available to any Participant or other Person and assumes no liability with respect to any tax or associated liabilities to which
any Participant or other Person may be subject. 
 (o)    Clawback. To the extent required by applicable law or
any applicable securities exchange listing standards, or as otherwise determined by the Committee, Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards shall be subject to the provisions of any clawback policy implemented by the
Company, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, which clawback policy may provide for forfeiture, repurchase and/or recoupment of Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Company, the Partnership and their Affiliates reserve the right, without the consent of any Participant, to adopt any such clawback policies and procedures, including such policies and procedures
applicable to this Plan or any Award Agreement with retroactive effect. 
 (p)    Unit Retention Policy. The
Committee may provide in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to applicable law, that any Units received by a Participant in connection with an Award granted hereunder shall be subject to a unit ownership, unit retention or other policy
restricting the sale or transfer of units, as the Committee may determine to adopt, amend or terminate in its sole discretion from time to time. 

(q)    Limitation of Liability. No member of the Board or the Committee or Employee to whom the Board or the
Committee has delegated authority in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of this Plan shall be liable for anything done or omitted to be done by him or her by any member of the Board or the Committee or by any Employee in connection
with the performance of any duties under this Plan, except for his or her own willful misconduct or as expressly provided by statute. 

(r)    Facility Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any Person under legal disability or who, in the judgment
of the Committee, is unable to manage properly his or her financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such Person, or may be applied for the benefit of such Person in any manner that the Committee may select, and the Partnership,
the Company and all of their Affiliates shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts. 
 SECTION
9.    Term of the Plan. 
 The Plan shall be effective on the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board (the
“Effective Date”) and shall continue until the date terminated by the Board. However, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or
terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award, shall extend beyond such termination date. The Plan shall, within twelve (12) months after the date of the Board’s initial adoption of the Plan, be submitted
for approval by a majority of the outstanding Units of the Partnership entitled to vote.
