corporation (the “Company”), and Beverley Rath (“Executive”), and is effective as
of August 31, 2021. Each of the Company and Executive are a “Party,” and collectively, they are the “Parties.”

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires
to employ and/or continue to employ Executive, and Executive desires to be employed and/or continue to be employed by the Company, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual covenants and mutual benefits set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is acknowledged, the Company and Executive agree as follows:

 

1. Representations
and Warranties. Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive is not bound by any restrictive covenants or other
obligations or commitments of any kind that would in any way prevent, restrict, hinder or interfere with Executive’s acceptance
of employment under the terms and conditions set forth herein or the performance of all duties and services hereunder to the fullest extent
of Executive’s ability and knowledge. Executive understands and acknowledges that Executive is not expected or permitted to use
or disclose confidential information belonging to any prior employer in the course of performing Executive’s duties for the Company.

(d) It
shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Executive to: serve on civic or charitable boards or committees; deliver lectures, fulfill
speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions; or engage in personal investment activities, so long as such activities do
not materially or substantially interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder.

 

4. Compensation.

 

(a) Base
Salary: As compensation for Executive’s services hereunder, the Company agrees to pay Executive a base salary at an annual rate
of not less than $220,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll schedule, but no less frequently than monthly.
The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state or local taxes as shall be required to be withheld
pursuant to any applicable law or regulation (the “Base Salary”). Executive’s Base Salary shall be subject
to review from time to time, based on corporate policy and contributions made by Executive to the enterprise, and may be increased, but
not decreased, during the Employment Period.

 

(b) Annual
Cash Bonus: Beginning with calendar year 2021, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus award with a payout range
of 0% - 100% of Executive’s Base Salary (the “Annual Bonus”), upon achievement of the performance metrics adopted
by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) or the Compensation Committee in connection with the Short-Term Annual
Cash Bonus Program, as described in the Incentive Program attached as Exhibit A (“Performance Metrics”).
Executive shall be entitled to payment of the Annual Bonus as described in the Incentive Program. The Company agrees that it shall not
eliminate the Annual Cash Bonus, or Executive’s eligibility thereunder, for the duration of the Employment Period.

 

(c) Short-Term
Stock Incentive Plan.  For 2021, Executive received a grant of Restricted Stock Units in March 2021. During the Employment Period,
Executive shall be eligible to receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) during the first week of January
of each year, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s Short-Term Stock Incentive Plan (“STIP”)
as described in the Incentive Program. These additional RSUs shall vest in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period with
the first installment beginning three months after the grant date. The Company agrees that it shall not eliminate the Short-Term Stock
Incentive Plan, or Executive’s eligibility thereunder, for the duration of the Employment Period.

 

(d) Other
Expenses: In addition to the compensation and benefits provided for above, the Company agrees to pay or to reimburse Executive during
Executive’s employment for all reasonable, ordinary and necessary, properly documented, business expenses incurred in the performance

Executive shall be allowed four (4) weeks of paid time off per calendar year, to be taken at times selected by Executive, as well as
paid holidays, sick leave, and personal days in accordance with the Company’s policies (collectively,
“PTO”). Executive’s accrued, unused PTO shall carry over from year to year and be paid out to
Executive at time of separation of employment regardless of the reason.

 

    -2-

     

    

 

(f) Fringe
Benefits. In addition to Executive’s compensation provided by the foregoing, Executive shall be entitled to the benefits available
generally to Company’s senior executive level employees pursuant to the Company’s programs which may now or, shall hereafter be in effect,
or otherwise established by the Company, subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the benefit plans in effect at that time. Nothing
herein shall affect the Company’s ability to modify, alter, terminate or otherwise change any benefit plan it has in effect at any
given time, to the extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding, the Company agrees that it shall maintain and not modify, alter or terminate
the Annual Cash Bonus, Short-Term Annual Stock Incentive Plan, and/or Executive’s eligibility or vested benefits thereunder for the duration
of the Employment Period, as such programs, plans and benefits are described in the Incentive Program attached as Exhibit A
to this Agreement, subject to applicable laws and regulations.

 

5. Employment
Period.

 

(a) Employment
Period. The Employment Period shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the third anniversary of the Effective
Date (the “Initial Term”). There shall be no automatic renewal upon the expiration of the Initial Term. The
period during which Executive is employed hereunder shall be considered the Employment Period.

 

(b) Termination
by Executive without Good Reason. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(a), Executive may terminate Executive’s employment with
Company and this Agreement at any time by giving the Company written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination
(the “Termination Date”). The Company, at its election, may require Executive to continue to perform Executive’s
duties hereunder for the full thirty (30) day notice period, or may choose at any time during such 30-day notice period to accelerate
the effective date of Executive’s resignation and end the employment relationship immediately (which for purposes of clarity shall
not constitute a termination by the Company without Cause). If Executive chooses to terminate the employment relationship without Good
Reason (as defined below), Executive shall only be entitled to receive upon such termination: (i) payment of Base Salary through the Termination
Date, including through the notice period where termination has been accelerated, (ii) payment of any Annual Bonus for the prior calendar
year, if not already paid; (iii) payment for any accrued but unused PTO, (iv) any right to continued benefits required by law (the foregoing
(i) through (iv) shall be referred to herein as the “Accrued Obligations”). Payment of all Accrued Obligations
owed herein shall be paid to Executive in lump sum, within seven (7) calendar days of the Termination Date or, if the Company accelerates
the effective date of Executive’s resignation, then such Accrued Obligations will be paid to Executive on such accelerated effective date.

 

(c) Termination
by Executive for Good Reason. Executive may terminate Executive’s employment with Company and this Agreement for Good Reason, which
shall include: (A) a material reduction or diminution of Executive’s authorities, duties, responsibilities or Base Salary, which is subject
to the provisions of Section 4(a); (B) relocation of Executive’s worksite to a location more than fifty (50) miles from Executive’s then-current
location; or (C) a material breach by Company of this Agreement where Executive has provided Company thirty (30) days’ written notice
and given the Company thirty (30) days’ opportunity to cure, and the Company has failed to cure such material breach during that notice
period; and further provided Executive terminates employment within ninety (90) days following the Company’s failure to cure such material
breach. A termination by Executive for Good Reason pursuant to this provision shall entitle Executive to payment of the Accrued Obligations,
as well as Termination Compensation (as defined below) as if Executive had been terminated by the Company without Cause under Section
(e)(1).

 

    -3-

     

    

 

(d) Termination
by Company for Cause.

 

(i) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 5(a), at any time during the Employment Period, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment and this
Agreement for Cause (defined below), with such termination taking effect upon written notice of the termination for Cause being provided
to Executive. If Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause, Executive will not be entitled to and shall not receive any compensation
or benefits of any type following the effective date of termination, other than the Accrued Obligations.

 

(ii) “Cause”
shall be defined as termination where: (i) the Executive is convicted of fraud, theft or embezzlement against the Company or any subsidiary
or affiliate thereof; (ii) the Executive is convicted of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; (iii) the Executive substantially
breaches any material term of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after the receipt of written notice of such
breach from the Company; or (iv) the Executive engages in gross negligence or willful misconduct that causes harm to the business and
operations of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof.

 

(e) Termination
by Company Without Cause. The Company may terminate Executive without Cause immediately by giving Executive written notice of such
termination. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5(e)(ii), if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without
Cause, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, Executive shall receive the following:

 

(i) a
severance payment equivalent to one times (1x) the sum of Executive’s Base Salary and the greater of either the (i) highest Annual
Bonus the Executive received during the three calendar years prior to the Termination Date or (ii) the Executive’s target Annual
Bonus in effect for the year in which termination occurs. Such severance payment shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s regular
payroll cycle, with the first payment commencing upon the pay date immediately following the effective date of the Release, if not timely
revoked, as described in this Section 5(e), and on a continuing basis until the full amount has been paid;

 

(ii) if
Executive timely and properly elects continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”),
the Company shall provide for the payment of the Executive’s monthly COBRA payment for Executive and any of the Executive’s
dependents that were participating in in such plan immediately prior to Executive’s termination (the “COBRA Subsidy”).
The Company shall provide the COBRA Subsidy until the earliest of: (i) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Termination Date, or (ii)
the date Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage. If the Company cannot provide the COBRA Subsidy without
violating applicable law or is otherwise unable to continue to cover the Executive or the Executive’s dependents under its group
health insurance plans, then the Company shall pay the Executive an equivalent monthly cash payment such that Executive receives, on an
after-tax basis, the same amount reimbursement for COBRA benefits for a period of twelve (12) months; and

 

(iii) automatic
and immediate vesting of any and all equity benefits including, without limitation, RSUs under the STIP (all within seven (7) calendar
days of the effective date of the Release, as described in this Section 5(e)).

 

    -4-

     

    

 

The above severance payments,
COBRA Subsidy and vesting of all equity benefits under Sections 5(e)(i) through (iii) are collectively referred to as the “Termination
Compensation”). Executive shall not be entitled to the Termination Compensation unless Executive executes a separation and
release agreement which shall include a full waiver and general release of claims in favor of the Company, in substantially the form and
substance attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Release”), and such Release becoming effective, if
not timely revoked under the terms thereof, within fifty-two (52) days following the Termination Date (the “Release Execution
Period”). Such release shall not affect Executive’s right to a defense by legal counsel and indemnification, if any,
for actions taken within the scope of Executive’s employment. If the Release Execution Period straddles two taxable years of Executive,
then the Company shall pay the Termination Compensation starting in the second of such taxable years (with any missed severance payments
being paid to the Executive on the first payroll date occurring in the second calendar year). The Parties hereto acknowledge that the
Termination Compensation to be provided under Section 5(e)(i) is to be provided in consideration for the above-specified Release.

 

(f) Termination
for Executive’s Permanent Disability. If the Executive becomes physically or mentally disabled as determined by a qualified,
licensed medical physician mutually selected by the Company and Executive and such disability causes Executive to become unable for a
period of more than five (5) consecutive months or for shorter periods aggregating at least five (5) months during any twelve (12) month
period to perform the Executive’s duties hereunder on a substantially full-time basis, then the Company will deliver a written notice
to Executive stating with specificity the reason for termination and the Executive’s employment will terminate within 30 days of
the date of such notice, and this shall be considered a “disability” under this Agreement. Such termination shall not affect
the Executive’s benefits under the Company’s disability insurance program, if any, then in effect. In the event Executive
is terminated pursuant to this Section 5(f), Company shall pay to Executive all Accrued Obligations and Termination Compensation as if
Executive had been terminated by the Company without Cause, subject to reduction by the amount of any disability insurance proceeds paid
to or on behalf of Executive.

 

(g) Termination
Due to Executive’s Death. This Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder will terminate immediately upon Executive’s
death and the Company shall not have any further liability or obligation to Executive, Executive’s executors, heirs, assigns or
any other person claiming under or through Executive’s estate, except that Executive’s estate shall receive payment for all
Accrued Obligations and Termination Compensation as if Executive had been terminated by the Company without Cause.

 

(h) Termination
Upon Change in Control. In the event of a “Change of Control” (defined herein) Executive may terminate Executive’s employment
and this Agreement within ninety (90) days of the effective date of the Change of Control upon thirty (30) days written notice. “Change
in Control” shall mean (a) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions) of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (b) any consolidation or merger or other business combination of the Company
with any other entity where the shareholders of the Company, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger or other business combination
would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger or other business combination, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, shares
representing fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of all of the outstanding securities of the entity issuing cash or securities
in the consolidation or merger or other business combination (or its ultimate parent corporation, if any). For the avoidance of doubt,
a Change of Control shall not include the RideNow Transaction as described in the Merger Agreement. Upon a Change in Control, 100% of
all unvested stock options and/or restricted stock units held by Executive shall immediately vest (the “Accelerated Equity
Vesting”). Further, upon a Change in Control, Executive shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations and Termination Compensation
as if Executive was terminated without Cause.

 

    -5-

     

    

 

(i) Expiration
of the Agreement. If the Agreement expires at the end of the Initial Term, the Agreement shall expire and Executive shall receive
only the Accrued Obligations as of the date of expiration.

 

(j) Continuing
Obligations. The obligations imposed on Executive with respect to non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, non-disclosure
and assignment of rights to inventions or developments in this Agreement shall continue, notwithstanding the termination of the employment
relationship between the Parties, as set forth in Section 7.

 

6. Company
Property. All correspondence, records, documents, software, promotional materials, and other Company property, including all copies,
which come into Executive’s possession by, through or in the course of Executive’s employment, regardless of the source and
whether created by Executive, are the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and immediately upon the termination of Executive’s
employment, or at any time the Company shall request, Executive shall return to the Company all such property of the Companies, without
retaining any copies, summaries or excerpts of any kind or in any format whatsoever. Executive shall not destroy any of the Companies’
property, such as by deleting electronic mail or other files, other than in the normal course of Executive’s employment. Executive
further agrees that should Executive discover any Company property or Confidential Information in Executive’s possession after the
return of such property has been requested, Executive agrees to return it promptly to Company without retaining copies, summaries or excerpts
of any kind or in any format whatsoever.

 

7. Restrictive
Covenants. Executive agrees and acknowledges that, in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company, in the new role
as the Interim Chief Financial Officer & Controller, Executive will be provided with access to and become familiar with confidential
and proprietary information, trade secrets, and substantial relationships belonging to the Companies. Accordingly, in consideration of
Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement, any payments made to the Executive as set forth in Section 5,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Executive agrees to the following restrictive
covenants:

 

(a) Non-Competition.
Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, either on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any third
party, except on behalf of the Company or one of its affiliates: (a) engage directly or indirectly in the Restricted Business anywhere
in the Restricted Territory; or (b) directly or indirectly be or become an officer, director, stockholder, owner, affiliate, partner,
member, investor, joint venture, employee, agent, representative, consultant, lender, advisor, manager of, for or to, or otherwise be
or become associated with or acquire or hold (of record, beneficially or otherwise) any direct or indirect interest in, any individual
or entity that engages directly or indirectly in the Restricted Business anywhere in the Restricted Territory; provided, however, that
Executive may, without violating this Section 7(a), own, as a passive investment, shares of capital stock of a publicly-held corporation
that engages in the Restricted Business if (i) such shares are actively traded on an established national securities market in the United
States or any other foreign securities exchange, (ii) the number of shares of such corporation’s capital stock that are owned beneficially
(directly or indirectly) by the Executive represents less than one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of such corporation’s
capital stock outstanding, and (iii) Executive is not associated directly or indirectly with such corporation or with any affiliate of
such corporation. Executive acknowledges that nothing herein shall restrict the right, nature or extent to which Executive may practice
as a lawyer after termination of employment with Company for any reason.

 

    -6-

     

    

 

(b) Non-Solicitation
of Customers and Other Business Relations. Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, either on Executive’s
behalf or on behalf of any third party, except on behalf of the Company or one of its affiliates: (a) solicit, induce or attempt to solicit
or induce any business, enterprise, or individual who, during the preceding two-year period, has a business relationship with the Companies
(including any customer, licensee, supplier, manufacturer or vendor) (i) to cease doing business with the Companies, or (ii) to diminish
or materially alter in a manner harmful to the Companies, such business, enterprise, or individual’s relationship with the Companies;
or (iii) to purchase, contract for or receive any products or services from any such business relationship
of Company (other than on behalf of the Companies) that engages in the Restricted Business anywhere within the Restricted Territory; provided,
however, that nothing contained in this Section 7(b) shall prevent Executive from contracting with a third party who has or had
a business relationship with Companies if such contracting does not adversely affect such third party’s business relationship with
the Companies. 

 

(c) Non-Hiring
or Solicitation of Employees and Contractors. Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, either on Executive’s
own behalf or on behalf of any third party, except on behalf of the Company or one of its affiliates: (a) directly or indirectly hire
or solicit for hire any employee, independent contractor, or consultant or any person who was an employee, independent contractor, or
consultant of the Companies within the preceding twelve (12) months, or (b) directly or indirectly encourage, induce, attempt to induce,
solicit or attempt to solicit (on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other business, enterprise, or individual) any employee,
independent contractor, or consultant to leave or curtail his or her employment or engagement with the Companies; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7(c) shall not prevent Executive from undertaking general solicitations of employment not
specifically targeted at employees, independent contractors, or consultants of the Companies (so long as Executive does not, directly
or indirectly, specifically solicit for hire any such employee, independent contractor, or consultant).

 

(d) Definitions.
For purposes of this Section 7:

 

(i) “Restricted
Business” shall mean the operation of a technology-based motor vehicle dealer e-commerce platform and/or any other internet-based
platform that allows dealers, consumers, and any other business, enterprise, or individual to buy, sell, trade, finance, and/or transport
pre-owned cars, trucks, snowmobiles, watercraft, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, scooters, side-by-sides, sport bikes, cruisers, or other modes
of transportation, as well as the sale, leasing, rental, financing, servicing (including supply of parts) and ancillary activities relating
to new and used motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, scooters, side-by-sides, sport bikes, two- and three-wheeled cruisers, powered watercraft, and
any other business engaged in by the Companies during Executive’s employment therewith.

 

(ii) “Restricted
Period” shall mean the period while Executive is in the employ of the Company and/or any of its affiliates and for a one
(1) year period following the end of such employment for any reason, provided, however, that in the event of any breach by Executive of
this Section 7, the Restricted Period shall be automatically extended by a number of days equal to the total number of days in the period
from the date on which such breach shall have first occurred through the date as of which such breach shall have been fully cured.

 

(iii) “Restricted
Territory” means Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming,
and each territory of the United States, including Washington, D.C.

 

(e) Reasonableness
of Restrictive Covenants. The Parties agree that the relevant public policy aspects of post-employment restrictive covenants have
been discussed, and that every effort has been made to limit the restrictions placed upon Executive to those that are reasonable and necessary
to protect the Companies’ legitimate interests. Executive acknowledges that, based upon Executive’s education, experience, and training,
the restrictions set forth in this Section 7 will not prevent Executive from earning a livelihood and supporting herself and Executive’s
family during the relevant time period. Executive further acknowledges that, because the Companies market their products and services
throughout the Restricted Territory, a more narrow geographic limitation on the restrictive covenants set forth above would not adequately
protect the Companies’ legitimate business interests.

 

    -7-

     

    

 

(f) Modification.
The Parties agree that if any restriction set forth in this Section 7 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable
because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or geographic area, it shall be interpreted to
extend over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.

 

(g) Independence
of Obligations. The Parties agree that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 7 are not intended to, and shall not, supersede
any restrictive covenants contained in any other agreement (including, but not limited to the Merger Agreement or other agreements executed
in connection with the RideNow Transaction, or if applicable, any stock or stock-linked award agreement, or otherwise), and that the provisions
of Section 7 (along with the Confidentiality provisions of Section 8 below) shall be construed as separate and distinct obligations of
Executive which shall expressly survive the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company.

 

(h) Injunctive
Relief. The Parties agree that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill
of the Companies and are considered by Executive to be reasonable for such purposes. Executive agrees that any material breach of Section
7 will result in irreparable harm and damage to the Companies that cannot be adequately compensated by a monetary award. Accordingly,
it is expressly agreed that in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, money damages
from Executive), the Company and/or such affiliate shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or such
other form of injunctive or equitable relief as may be used by any court of competent jurisdiction to restrain or enjoin Executive from
breaching any such covenant or provision or to specifically enforce the provisions hereof, without the need to post any bond or other
security.

 

8. Protection
of Confidential Information.

 

(a) Executive
agrees that all information, whether or not in writing, relating to the business, technical or financial affairs of the Companies and
that is generally understood in the industry as being confidential and/or proprietary information, is the exclusive property of the Companies.
Executive agrees to hold in a fiduciary capacity for the sole benefit of the Companies all secret, confidential and/or proprietary information,
knowledge, and data, including trade secrets, relating to the Companies obtained during Executive’s employment with the Company
or any of its predecessors or affiliates, including but not limited to any trade secrets, confidential or secret designs, website technologies,
content, processes, formulae, plans, manuals, devices, machines, know-how, methods, compositions, ideas, improvements, financial and marketing
information, costs, pricing, sales, sales volume, salaries, methods and proposals, customer and prospective customer lists, customer identities,
customer volume, or customer contact information, identity of key personnel in the employ of customers and prospective customers, amount
or kind of customer’s purchases from the Companies, manufacturer lists, manufacturer identities, manufacturer volume, or manufacturer
contact information, identity of key personnel in the employ of manufacturers, amount or kind of the Companies’ purchases from manufacturers,
system documentation, hardware, engineering and configuration information, computer programs, source and object codes (whether or not
patented, patentable, copyrighted or copyrightable), related software development information, inventions or other confidential or proprietary
information belonging to the Companies or directly or indirectly relating to the Companies’ business and affairs (“Confidential
Information”). Confidential Information shall not include information (i) that has entered the public domain through no
fault of Executive, (ii) rightfully known by the receiving person without obligation of confidentiality to any third party prior to receipt
of same from the disclosing person, (iii) independently developed by the receiving person without using or referring to any Confidential
Information of the Company, and (iv) generally made available to the public by the disclosing person without obligation of confidentiality.
Executive agrees that Executive will not at any time, either during the Employment Period or the Confidentiality Period (as defined below),
disclose to anyone any Confidential Information, or utilize such Confidential Information for Executive’s own benefit, or for the
benefit of third parties without written approval by an officer of the Company. For purposes of this section, the “Confidentiality
Period” means for the period of one (1) year after the Termination Date. Executive further agrees that all memoranda, notes,
records, data, schematics, sketches, computer programs, prototypes, or written, photographic, magnetic or other documents or tangible
objects compiled by Executive or made available to Executive during the Employment Period concerning the business of the Companies and/or
their respective clients, including any copies of such materials, shall be the property of the Companies and shall be delivered to the
Company on the termination of Executive’s employment, or at any other time upon request of the Company.

(b) In
the event Executive is questioned by anyone not employed by the Company or by an employee of or a consultant to the Company not authorized
to receive such information, in regard to any Confidential Information or any other secret or confidential work of the Companies, or concerning
any fact or circumstance relating thereto, or in the event that Executive becomes aware of the unauthorized use of Confidential Information
by any party, whether competitive with the Company or not, Executive will promptly notify an officer of the Company.

 

(c) Court-Ordered
Disclosure. In the event that, at any time during Executive’s employment with the Company or at any time thereafter, Executive
receives a request to disclose any Confidential Information under the terms of a subpoena or order issued by a court or by a governmental
body, Executive agrees to notify the Company immediately of the existence, terms, and circumstances surrounding such request, to consult
with the Company on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request; and, if disclosure of such Confidential
Information is required to prevent Executive from being held in contempt or subject to other penalty, to furnish only such portion of
the Confidential Information as, in the written opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, Executive is legally compelled to disclose,
and to exercise Executive’s reasonable efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded to the disclosed Confidential Information.

 

(d) Non-Interference
with Governmental Agency Rights. The provisions of this Agreement and of any other agreement between Executive and the Company regarding
confidentiality and non-disclosure are not intended to interfere with, or waive, any right or obligation (if any) to file a charge, cooperate,
testify, report, or participate in an investigation with any appropriate federal, state or local governmental agency, including the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”),
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”), the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”),
or any other federal, state or local government agency charged with enforcement of any law, rule, or regulation applicable to Company’s
business (“Governmental Agency”); including the ability to communicate with such agency; the reporting of possible
violations of any law, rule or regulation; making other disclosures that are protected under whistleblower provisions of any law, rule
or regulation; or the receiving of an award for information provided to any Governmental Agency.

 

(e) Defend
Trade Secrets Act. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive acknowledges that Executive shall not have criminal
or civil liability under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence
to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (ii) solely for the purpose of
reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding,
if such filing is made under seal. In addition, if Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected
violation of law, Executive may disclose the trade secret to Executive’s attorney and may use the trade secret information in the
court proceeding, if Executive (X) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (Y) does not disclose the trade secret,
except pursuant to court order.

9. Intellectual
Property.

 

(a) Disclosure
of Inventions. Executive will promptly disclose in confidence to the Company all inventions, improvements, processes, products, designs,
original works of authorship, formulas, processes, compositions of matter, computer software programs, Internet products and services,
e-commerce products and services, e-entertainment products and services, databases, mask works, trade secrets, product improvements, product
ideas, new products, discoveries, methods, software, uniform resource locators or proposed uniform resource locators (“URLs”),
domain names or proposed domain names, any trade names, trademarks or slogans, which may or may not be subject to or able to be patented,
copyrighted, registered, or otherwise protected by law (the “Inventions”) that Executive makes, conceives or
first reduces to practice or creates, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of Executive’s employment with the
Company, in the course of Executive’s employment, and whether or not such Inventions are patentable, copyrightable or able to be
protected as trade secrets, or otherwise able to be registered or protected by law.

 

(b) Assignment
of Company Inventions; Work for Hire. Executive agrees that all Inventions that (i) are developed using equipment, supplies, facilities
or trade secrets of the Companies, (ii) result from work performed by Executive for the Companies, or (iii) relate to the Companies’ business
or current or anticipated research and development (the “Company Inventions”), will be the sole and exclusive
property of the Company and are hereby irrevocably assigned by Executive to the Company from the moment of their creation and fixation
in tangible media. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that any copyrightable works prepared by Executive within the course of Executive’s
employment are “works for hire” under the Copyright Act and that the Company will be considered the author and owner of such
copyrightable works.

 

(c) Assignment
of Other Rights. In addition to the foregoing assignment of Company Inventions to the Company, Executive hereby irrevocably transfers
and assigns to the Company: (i) all worldwide patents, patent applications, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets and other intellectual
property rights in any Company Invention; and (ii) any and all “Moral Rights” (as defined below) that Executive may have in
or with respect to any Company Invention. Executive also hereby forever waives and agrees never to assert any and all Moral Rights Executive
may have in or with respect to any Company Invention, even after termination of Executive’s work on behalf of the Companies. “Moral
Rights” means any rights to claim authorship of an Company Invention, to object to or prevent the modification of any Company
Invention, or to withdraw from circulation or control the publication or distribution of any Company Invention, and any similar right,
existing under judicial or statutory law of any country in the world, or under any treaty, regardless of whether or not such right is
denominated or generally referred to as a “moral right.”

 

(d) Assistance.
Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, to obtain and enforce patents,
copyrights, mask work rights, trade secret rights and other legal protections for the Company Inventions in any and all countries. At
the Company’s reasonably request, Executive will execute documents necessary for use in obtaining or enforcing such patents, copyrights,
mask work rights, trade secrets and other legal protections. Executive’s obligations under this section will continue for a period
of twelve (12) months beyond the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, provided that the Company will compensate
Executive at a reasonable rate after such termination for time or expenses actually spent by Executive at the Company’s request
on such assistance. Executive appoints the Secretary of the Company as Executive’s attorney-in-fact to execute documents on Executive’s
behalf sole for the limited purpose set forth in this Section 9(d).

10. Publicity.
Neither Party shall issue, without consent of the other Party, any press release or make any public announcement with respect to this
Agreement or the employment relationship between them, or the ending of such relationship.

 

11. Binding
Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto, their heirs, personal representatives,
successors and assigns. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, assign this Agreement (i) to an
affiliate of the Company at any time, or (ii) in the event the Company is acquired, is a non-surviving party in a merger, or transfers
substantially all of its assets, to the transferee or surviving company, in each case without being required to obtain Executive’s
consent. The Parties understand that the obligations of Executive are personal and may not be assigned by Executive.

 

12. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the Exhibits attached hereto contains the entire understanding of Executive and the Company with respect
to employment of Executive and supersedes any and all prior understandings, written or oral, regarding the terms or conditions of Executive’s
employment with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for the provisions of the Incentive Program attached hereto as Exhibit
A, the provisions of this Agreement are not intended to, and shall not, supersede any restrictive covenants contained in any other
agreements (including, but not limited to, any obligations related to non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, non-disparagement,
and/or assignment of inventions in an agreement entered into between Executive and the Company or any related or affiliated entity), and
the provisions of this Agreement and of any other such agreements shall be construed as separate and distinct obligations of Executive.
This Agreement may not be amended, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing, specifically identified
as an amendment to this Agreement, and signed by both Parties. By entering into this Agreement, Executive certifies and acknowledges that
Executive has carefully read all of the provisions of this Agreement and that Executive voluntarily and knowingly enters into this Agreement.

 

13. Severability;
Modification. If any portion, provision, section or subsection of this Agreement is determined to be unreasonable or unenforceable,
for any reason whatsoever, the parties agree that such portion, provision, section or subsection may be severed, modified or narrowed,
either by a court or the Company, so as to provide the maximum legally enforceable protection of the Companies’ legitimate business interests,
without negating or impairing any other restrictions or agreements set forth herein. If any portion, provision, section or subsection
of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, which
shall remain in effect. This Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision was omitted.

 

14. Tax
Consequences. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Company will have no obligation to any person entitled
to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to any tax obligation any such person incurs as a result of or attributable to this Agreement,
including all supplemental agreements and employee benefits plans incorporated by reference therein, or arising from any payments made
or to be made under this Agreement or thereunder.

15. Golden
Parachute Excise Tax.

 

(a) Parachute
Payments. If any payment or benefit Executive would receive pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to any other agreement with the
Company following a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or change in the ownership of a substantial portion of
the assets of the Company (which change, as further defined in Section 280G of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section
280G”), is referred to herein as a “Change in Control” from the Company or otherwise would (i)
constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G (“Payment”), and (ii) but for
this section, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such
Payment shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion
of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (y) the largest portion, up to and including
the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income
taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax
basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax.
If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced
Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order: (1) cash payments, in the following order: (a) first, severance payments under this
Agreement, (b) second, severance payments under any other agreement with the Company and (c) third, any other cash payments under any
of the foregoing agreements; (2) cancellation of the acceleration of vesting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units
or any other awards that vest based on attainment of performance measures; (3) cancellation of the acceleration of vesting of stock options,
restricted stock and restricted stock units or any other awards that vest only based on Executive’s continued service to the Company,
taking the last ones scheduled to vest (absent the acceleration) first, and (4) other non-cash forms of benefits.

 

(b) Calculations.
The foregoing calculations will be performed at the expense of the Company by a nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Accounting
Firm”) selected by the Company. The Company will direct the Accounting Firm to submit its determination and detailed supporting
calculations to both the Company and Executive within thirty (30) calendar days after the Change in Control, the date of termination,
if applicable, and any such other time or times as may be reasonably requested by the Company or Executive. If the Accounting Firm determines
that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish
the Company and Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. 
Any good faith determinations of the Accounting Firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive.

 

16. Section
409A.

 

(a) This
Agreement is intended to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”) and any regulations and Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A of the Code”).
If the Company determines in good faith that any provision of this Agreement would cause Executive to incur an additional tax, penalty,
or interest under Section 409A of the Code, the Company and Executive shall use reasonable efforts to reform such provision, if possible,
in a mutually agreeable fashion to maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provision without
violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code or causing the imposition of such additional tax, penalty, or interest under Section
409A of the Code. The preceding provisions, however, shall not be construed as a guarantee by the Company of any particular tax effect
to Executive under this Agreement.

 

    -12-

     

    

 

(b) For
purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to
a series of separate payments. In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.

 

(c) With
respect to any reimbursement of expenses of, or any provision of in-kind benefits to, Executive, as specified under this Agreement, such
reimbursement of expenses or provision of in-kind benefits shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) the expenses eligible for
reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement
or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year, except for any medical reimbursement arrangement providing for the
reimbursement of expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code; (2) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no later
than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (3) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall
not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

(d) “Termination
of employment,” “resignation,” or words of similar import, as used in this Agreement means, for purposes of any payments
under this Agreement that are payments of deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, Executive’s “separation
from service” as defined in Section 409A of the Code.

 

(e) To
the extent that Section 409A of the Code would cause an adverse tax consequence to the Executive upon accelerating any payment of Termination
Compensation pursuant to Section 5(h) upon a Change in Control (“Section 409A Payments”), a Change in Control shall not be
deemed to occur with respect to such Section 409A Payments unless the Change in Control qualifies as a “Change in the Ownership
or Effective Control of a Corporation or in the Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Assets of a Corporation” under Treasury
Department Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(5), as revised from time to time in either subsequent regulations or other guidance and such Section
409A Payments shall be made at the time such payments would have otherwise been made absent the Change in Control.

 

(f) Neither
the Company nor Executive, individually or in combination, may accelerate any payment or benefit that is subject to Section 409A, except
in compliance with Section 409A and the provisions of this Agreement, and no amount that is subject to Section 409A shall be paid prior
to the earliest date on which it may be paid without violating Section 409A.

 

(g) If
a payment obligation under this Agreement arises on account of Executive’s separation from service while Executive is a “specified
employee” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code and determined in good faith by the Company), any payment of “deferred
compensation” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(1), after giving effect to the exemptions in Treasury Regulation
Sections 1.409A-1(b)(3) through (b)(12)) that is scheduled to be paid within six (6) months after such separation from service shall accrue
without interest and shall be paid within 15 days after the end of the six-month period beginning on the date of such separation from
service or, if earlier, within 15 days after the appointment of the personal representative or executor of Executive’s estate following
Executive’s death.

17. Governing
Law. The law, including the statutes of limitation, of the State of Delaware shall govern this Agreement, the interpretation and enforcement
of its terms and any claim or cause of action (in law or equity), controversy or dispute arising out of or related to its or its negotiation,
execution or performance, whether based on contract, tort, statutory or other law, in each case without giving effect to any conflicts-of-law
or other principle requiring the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

 

18. Notices.
Any notice provided for in this Agreement shall be provided in writing. Notices shall be effective from the date of service, if served
personally on the Party to whom notice is to be given, or on the second day after mailing, if mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid.
Notices shall be properly addressed to the Parties at their respective addresses or to such other address as either Party may later specify
by notice to the other.

 

19. Dispute
Resolution. The Parties agree that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any controversy, claim or dispute arising out
of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, or arising out of or relating to the employment of Executive, or the termination
thereof, including any statutory or common law claims under federal, state, or local law, including all laws prohibiting discrimination
in the workplace, shall first be submitted to mediation conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (JAMS). The Parties
agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any such dispute in the course of such mediation. If any such dispute is not resolved by mediation,
the Parties agree that such dispute shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware, or any federal court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the State of Delaware, and the Parties hereby waive any and all defenses
and/or objections to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties further acknowledge
and agree that, due to the nature of the confidential information, trade secrets, and intellectual property belonging to the Companies
to which Executive has or will be given access, and the likelihood of significant harm that the Company would suffer in the event that
such information was disclosed to third parties, nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Company from immediately going to court
to seek injunctive relief to prevent Executive from violating the obligations established in Sections 7, 8 or 9 of this Agreement. Each
of the parties irrevocably agrees to waive any and all rights they may have to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or claim of any
nature relating to this Agreement, or the enforcement of this Agreement, and acknowledge that such waiver is knowing and voluntary. In
the event of any dispute regarding the interpretation or enforcement, or otherwise arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, including through appeal.

 

    -14-

     

    

 

20. Indemnification.
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Executive for any liability to any third-party incurred by reason of any act or omission
performed by Executive while acting in good faith on behalf of the Company and within the scope of the authority of Executive pursuant
to this Agreement and under the rules and policies of the Company, except that Executive must have in good faith believed that such action
was in the best interest of the Company and such course of action or inaction must not have constituted gross negligence, fraud, willful
misconduct, or breach of a fiduciary duty.

 

21. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) No
delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A
waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar
or waiver of any right on any other occasion.

 

(b) The
captions of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, limit or affect the scope or substance
of any section of this Agreement.

 

(c) The
language in all parts of this Agreement will be construed, in all cases, according to its fair meaning, and not for or against either
Party hereto. The Parties acknowledge that each Party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule
of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party will not be employed in the interpretation
of this Agreement.

 

(d) Capitalized
terms used in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them by definition in this Agreement; or if not expressly defined in this Agreement,
to the meanings ascribed in the Merger Agreement (i.e. the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Equity Purchase Agreement, dated March 12,
2021; and the transactions contemplated thereby as the “RideNow Transaction”).

 

(e) The
obligations of Company under this Agreement, including its obligation to pay the compensation provided for in this Agreement, are contingent
upon Executive’s performance of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

(f) This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one agreement.

Exhibit B to Executive Employment Agreement

 

Release Agreement

 

This Release Agreement
(this “Release”) is executed pursuant to Section 5(e)(iii) of that certain Executive Employment Agreement,
dated as of August 31, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”), between RumbleOn, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the “Company”), and Beverley Rath (“Executive”). All terms capitalized and not
defined herein shall have the meaning given in the Employment Agreement. Executive acknowledges that the Termination
Compensation under this Release does not, in any way, extend the period of employment or continuous service beyond the last
day of employment or confer any other rights or benefits upon Executive other than what may be set forth expressly herein.

 

1. Full
and Adequate Consideration. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Termination Compensation shall constitute full and adequate
consideration that Executive would not otherwise be entitled but for the promises and obligations set forth in this Release, including
Executive's waiver and general release of claims against Company, cooperation during any transitional period, and adherence to other post-termination
obligations. Executive acknowledges that Company has no further obligation to Executive, including to pay any additional amounts of money
or benefits, other than as set forth below:

 

(a) Severance
Payment. In accordance with and pursuant to Section 5(e)(i) of the Employment Agreement, if Executive is terminated by Company
(other than with Cause under Section 5(d), by Executive without Good Reason under Section 5(b), or upon Expiration of the
Agreement under Section 5(i)), then in addition to the Accrued Obligations, Executive shall receive a severance payment
equivalent to three times (3x) the sum of Executive's Base Salary and the greater of either the (i) highest Annual Bonus the Executive
received during the three calendar years prior to the Termination Date or (ii) the Executive’s target Annual Bonus in effect for
the year in which termination occurs. Such severance payment shall be paid in accordance with the Company's regular payroll cycle, with
the first payment commencing upon the pay date immediately following the effective date of this Release, if not timely revoked under the
terms hereof, within fifty-two (52) days following the Termination Date (the “Release Execution Period”). If
the Release Execution Period straddles two taxable years of Executive, then the Company shall pay the Termination Compensation starting
in the second of such taxable years (with any missed severance payments being paid to Executive on the first payroll date occurring in
the second calendar year).

 

(b) COBRA
Subsidy. If Executive timely and properly elects continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
of 1985 (“COBRA”), the Company shall provide for the payment of the Executive’s monthly COBRA payment
for Executive and any of the Executive’s dependents that were participating in in such plan immediately prior to Executive’s
termination (the “COBRA Subsidy”). The Company shall provide the COBRA Subsidy until the earliest of: (i) the
twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Termination Date, or (ii) the date Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation
coverage. If the Company cannot provide the COBRA Subsidy without violating applicable law or is otherwise unable to continue to cover
the Executive or the Executive’s dependents under its group health insurance plans, then the Company shall pay the Executive an
equivalent monthly cash payment such that Executive receives, on an after-tax basis, the same amount reimbursement for COBRA benefits
for a period of eighteen (18) months.

 

     

     

    

 

Exhibit B to Executive Employment Agreement

 

(c) Equity
Benefits. Executive shall have automatic and immediate vesting of any and all equity benefits including, without limitation, the
Initial RSUs, and RSUs under the STIP and the LTIP all (within seven (7) calendar days of the effective date of this Release, as described
in Section 5(e) of the Employment Agreement).

 

2. Waiver
and Release of Claims.

 

(a) General
Release. Executive, for and on behalf of himself and each of his heirs, administrators, executors, personal representatives, beneficiaries,
and assigns, to the maximum extent permitted by law, does hereby release and forever discharge the “Company Releasees”
hereunder, consisting of RumbleOn, Inc., and each of its past, present and future parents, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, predecessors,
successors, partners, associates, heirs, assigns, agents, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, representatives, lawyers,
insurers, owners, principals, shareholders, employee benefit plans and fiduciaries, administrators, transferees and assigns and all persons
acting by, through, under or in concert with them, or any of them, of and from any and all manner of action or actions, cause or causes
of action, in law or in equity, suits, debts, liens, contracts, agreements, promises, liability, claims, demands, damages, losses, costs,
attorneys’ fees or expenses, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent (hereinafter called “Claims”),
which Executive now has or may hereafter have against the Company Releasees, or any of them, by reason of any matter, cause, or thing
whatsoever from the beginning of time to the date hereof. However, the parties expressly acknowledge that this waiver and release shall
not affect Executive's right to a defense by legal counsel and indemnification to the extent such rights otherwise exist under the terms
of the Employment Agreement, including Section 20 thereof. The Claims released by Executive in this Section 2(a) include, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, any Claims in any way arising out of, based upon, or related to:

 

(i) Executive’s
employment by or service to Company or any of the other Company Releasees, or the termination thereof;

 

(ii) any
alleged breach of the Employment Agreement or Company’s employee handbook, policies or procedures; or

 

(iii) any
alleged tort, including but not limited to misrepresentation, defamation, interference with business relationships, intentional or negligent
infliction of emotional distress, negligence or wrongful discharge.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this waiver and release shall not apply to or affect Executive’s rights under this Agreement including, without limitation, any
claim against Company and/or the Company Releasees for breach or default hereunder.

 

(b) Statutory
Claims. Executive further knowingly and voluntarily releases and discharges the Company Releasees, collectively, separately and
severally, for any and all Claims based upon any alleged violation of any federal, state or local statute, ordinance or regulation, including
but not limited to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended 1991, 42 U.S.C. § 1981; the Americans with Disabilities
Act ("ADA"); the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act ("COBRA"); the Occupational Safety and Health Act ("OSHA"); the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"); the
Family and Medical Leave Act ("FMLA"); the Equal Pay Act ("EPA"); the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification
Act ("WARN"); the Immigration Reform and Control Act ("IRCA"); the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; the Federal False Claims Act;
the Internal Revenue Code; the National Labor Relations Act; and any and all other local, state and/or federal human or civil rights,
wage-hour, pension or labor laws, rules, regulations and/or ordinances which relate to employment, discrimination, retaliation, or payment
of wages or other compensation or otherwise.

 

     

     

    

 

Exhibit B to Executive Employment Agreement

 

(c) Release
of Claims Under the ADEA. In addition to the foregoing, Executive hereby knowingly and voluntarily releases and discharges the
Company Releasees, collectively, separately and severally, from and for any and all Claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act ("ADEA") and/or the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act ("OWBPA"), which Executive and/or his heirs, administrators,
executors, personal representatives, beneficiaries, and assigns may have or claim to have against any of the Company Releasees (such release
and waiver referred to as the “ADEA Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other provision or section of this Agreement,
Executive does not hereby waive any rights or claims under the ADEA/OWBPA that may arise after the time Executive signs this Agreement.

 

(d) Consideration
Period For ADEA Waiver. Executive hereby acknowledges that Executive has been given a period of at least twenty-one (21) days
(or, to the extent required by applicable law, forty-five (45) days) to consider the terms of this Release, that Executive is advised
to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release, and that Executive has received good and valuable consideration, to which
Executive is otherwise not entitled, in exchange for Executive's execution of this Release. Executive and Company acknowledge and agree
that any revisions made to this Release after it was initially delivered to Executive were either not material or were requested by Executive,
and expressly agree that such changes do not re-start the consideration period described in the preceding sentence.

 

3. Non-Interference
with Governmental Agency Rights. Executive understands that the terms of this Release, including the provisions regarding waiver
and release, confidentiality, and non-disparagement, are not intended to interfere with, or waive, any right or obligation (if any) to
file a charge, cooperate, testify, report, or participate in an investigation with any appropriate federal, state or local governmental
agency, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
("EEOC"), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA"), the National Labor
Relations Board ("NLRB"), or any other federal, state or local government agency charged with enforcement of any
law, rule, or regulation applicable to Company's business ("Governmental Agency"); including the ability to communicate
with such agency; the reporting of possible violations of any law, rule or regulation; making other disclosures that are protected under
whistleblower provisions of any law, rule or regulation; or the receiving of an award for information provided to any Governmental Agency.
However, Executive acknowledges and understands that by signing this Release, Executive is fully waiving and releasing the right to receive
or accept any individual remedy or relief, monetary or otherwise, obtained through the efforts of any such agency on Executive's behalf
or on behalf of a class of individuals through which action or proceeding Executive might otherwise have a right or benefit.

 

4. Post-Termination
Survival of Restrictive Covenants. Executive acknowledges and understands, that despite Executive's termination of employment,
the obligations set forth in Section 7 (Restrictive Covenants) and Section 8 (Confidentiality), and the rights and remedies for breach
and enforcement thereof in the Employment Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect for the durations expressly stated therein,
if not unlimited, and as otherwise specified in this Release, regardless of the circumstances of Executive’s termination.

8. Binding
Release. This Release is binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, administrators, executors, and

more of its Affiliates or one or more nominees shall be held by the General Partner or such Affiliate or nominee for the use and benefit
of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the General Partner shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause record title to such assets (other than those assets in respect of which the Board of Directors determines
that the expense and difficulty of conveyancing makes transfer of record title to the Partnership impracticable) to be vested in the
Partnership as soon as reasonably practicable; and, provided, further, that, prior to the withdrawal or removal of the General Partner
or as soon thereafter as practicable, the General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to effect the transfer of record title to the

IV

CERTIFICATES; RECORD HOLDERS; TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

 

Section 4.1           
Certificates. Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary herein, unless the Board of Directors shall determine
otherwise in respect of some or all of any or all classes of Partnership Interests, Partnership Interests shall not be evidenced by certificates.
Certificates that may be issued shall be executed on behalf of the Partnership by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President,
Chief Executive Officer or any Executive Vice President or Vice President and the Chief Financial Officer or the Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary of the General Partner. If a Transfer Agent has been appointed for a class of Partnership Interests, no Certificate for such
class of Partnership Interests shall be valid for any purpose until it has been countersigned by the Transfer Agent; provided, however,
that if the General Partner elects to cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Interests of such class in global form, the Certificate
shall be valid upon receipt of a certificate from the Transfer Agent certifying that the Partnership Interests have been duly registered
in accordance with the directions of the Partnership.

 

Section 4.2           
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

 

(a)              
If any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Transfer Agent or the Partnership, as applicable, the appropriate Officers on
behalf of the Partnership shall execute, and the Transfer Agent or the Partnership, as applicable, shall countersign and deliver in exchange
therefor, a new Certificate evidencing the same number and type of Partnership Interests as the Certificate so surrendered.

 

(b)              
The appropriate Officers on behalf of the Partnership shall execute and deliver, and the Transfer Agent (for Common Units or Class
B Units), as applicable, shall countersign, a new Certificate in place of any Certificate previously issued, or issue uncertificated Units,
if the Record Holder of the Certificate:

 

(i)                
makes proof by affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to the Partnership, that a previously issued Certificate has been
lost, destroyed or stolen;

 

(ii)             
requests the issuance of a new Certificate or the issuance of uncertificated Units before the Partnership has notice that the Certificate
has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim;

 

(iii)           
if requested by the Partnership, delivers to the Partnership a bond, in form and substance satisfactory to the Partnership, with
surety or sureties and with fixed or open penalty as the Board of Directors may direct to indemnify the Partnership, the Partners, the
General Partner and the Transfer Agent against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of the
Certificate; and

 

    22 

     

    

 

(iv)            
 satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Board of Directors.

 

If a Limited Partner fails
to notify the Partnership within a reasonable period of time after he has notice of the loss, destruction or theft of a Certificate, and
a transfer of the Limited Partner Interests represented by the Certificate is registered before the Partnership, the General Partner or
the Transfer Agent receives such notification, the Limited Partner shall be precluded from making any claim against the Partnership, the
General Partner or the Transfer Agent for such transfer or for a new Certificate or uncertificated Units.

 

(c)              
As a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate or uncertificated Units under this Section 4.2, the Partnership may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any
other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) reasonably connected therewith.

 

Section 4.3           
Record Holders. The Partnership shall be entitled to recognize the applicable Record Holder as the Partner with respect
to any Partnership Interest and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such Partnership
Interest on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Partnership shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as
otherwise provided by law or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which such
Partnership Interests are listed or admitted to trading. Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank,
trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative
capacity for another Person in acquiring and/or holding Partnership Interests, as between the Partnership on the one hand, and such other
Persons on the other hand, such representative Person (a) shall be the Record Holder of such Partnership Interest and (b) shall be bound
by this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Partner hereunder and as, and to the extent, provided for herein.

 

Section 4.4           
Transfer Generally.

 

(a)              
The term “transfer,” when used in this Agreement with respect to a Partnership Interest, shall mean a transaction (i)
by which the General Partner assigns its General Partner Units to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance,
hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise or (ii) by which the holder of a Limited Partner Interest
assigns such Limited Partner Interest to another Person who is or becomes a Limited Partner, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, exchange
or any other disposition by law or otherwise, excluding a pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or mortgage, but including any transfer upon
foreclosure of any pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or mortgage.

 

(b)              
No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth
in this Article IV. Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article IV
shall be null and void.

 

(c)               Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent a disposition by any stockholder, member, partner or other owner of the
General Partner of any or all of the shares of stock, membership interests, partnership interests or other ownership interests in
the General Partner, and the term “transfer” shall not mean any such disposition.

 

    23 

     

    

 

Section 4.5           
Registration and Transfer of Limited Partner Interests.

 

(a)              
The General Partner shall keep or cause to be kept on behalf of the Partnership a register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe and subject to the provisions of Section 4.5(b), the Partnership will provide for the registration
and transfer of Limited Partner Interests. The Transfer Agent is hereby appointed registrar and transfer agent for the purpose of registering
Common Units, Class B Units and Series A Preferred Units and transfers of such Common Units, Class B Units or Series A Preferred Units
as herein provided. The Partnership shall not recognize transfers of Certificates evidencing Limited Partner Interests unless such transfers
are effected in the manner described in this Section 4.5. Upon surrender of a Certificate for registration of transfer of any Limited
Partner Interests evidenced by a Certificate, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.5(b), the appropriate Officers on behalf
of the Partnership shall execute and deliver, and in the case of Common Units, Class B Units and the Series A Preferred Units, the Transfer
Agent shall countersign and deliver, in the name of the holder or the designated transferee or transferees, as required pursuant to the
holder’s instructions, one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number and type of Limited Partner Interests as
was evidenced by the Certificate so surrendered.

 

(b)              
The Partnership shall not recognize any transfer of Limited Partner Interests until the Certificates evidencing such Limited Partner
Interests are surrendered for registration of transfer. No charge shall be imposed by the Partnership for such transfer; provided,
however, that as a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 4.5, the Partnership may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed with respect thereto.

 

(c)              
By acceptance of the transfer of a Limited Partner Interest in accordance with this Section 4.5 and except as otherwise
provided in Section 4.8, each transferee of a Limited Partner Interest (including any nominee holder or an agent or representative
acquiring such Limited Partner Interests for the account of another Person) (i) shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner
with respect to the Limited Partner Interests so transferred to such Person when any such transfer or admission is reflected in the books
and records of the Partnership and such Limited Partner becomes the Record Holder of the Limited Partner Interests so transferred, (ii)
shall become bound, and shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound, by the terms of this Agreement, (iii) represents that the transferee
has the capacity, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and (iv) makes the consents, acknowledgments and waivers contained
in this Agreement, all with or without execution of this Agreement by such Person. The transfer of any Limited Partner Interests and the
admission of any new Limited Partner shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement.

 

(d)              
Subject to the provisions set forth in this Article IV and applicable securities laws, Limited Partner Interests shall be
freely transferable.

 

    24 

     

    

 

(e)              
 The General Partner and its Affiliates shall have the right at any time to transfer their Class B Units, Preferred Units and Common
Units (whether issued upon conversion of the Preferred Units or Class B Units or otherwise), if any and as applicable, to one or more
Persons.

 

Section 4.6           
Transfer of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest.

 

(a)              
Subject to Section 4.6(c) below, prior to March 31, 2023, the General Partner shall not transfer all or any part of its
General Partner Interest (represented by General Partner Units) to a Person unless such transfer (i) has been approved by the prior written
consent or vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units and Class B Units (excluding Common Units and Class
B Units held by the General Partner and its Affiliates) or (ii) is of all, but not less than all, of its General Partner Interest to (A)
an Affiliate of the General Partner (other than an individual) or (B) another Person (other than an individual) in connection with (y)
the merger or consolidation of the General Partner with or into such other Person or (z) the transfer by the General Partner of all or
substantially all of its assets to such other Person.

 

(b)              
Subject to Section 4.6(c) below, on or after March 31, 2023, the General Partner may transfer all or any of its General
Partner Interest without Unitholder approval.

 

(c)              
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no transfer by the General Partner of all or any part of its General Partner Interest
to another Person shall be permitted unless (i) the transferee agrees to assume the rights and duties of the General Partner under this
Agreement and to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) the Partnership receives an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer
would not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner or of any limited partner or member of any other Group Member
under, as applicable, the Marshall Islands Act or the laws of any such entity’s jurisdiction of formation and (iii) such transferee
also agrees to purchase all (or the appropriate portion thereof, if applicable) of the partnership or membership interest of the General
Partner as the general partner or managing member, if any, of each other Group Member. In the case of a transfer pursuant to and in compliance
with this Section 4.6, the transferee or successor (as the case may be) shall, subject to compliance with the terms of Section
10.3, be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner immediately prior to the transfer of the General Partner Interest, and
the business of the Partnership shall continue without dissolution.

 

Section 4.7           
[Reserved].

 

Section 4.8           
Restrictions on Transfers.

 

(a)              
Except as provided in Section 4.8(b) below, but notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, no transfer
of any Partnership Interests shall be made if such transfer would (i) violate the then applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws,
laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands or rules and regulations of the Commission, any state securities commission or any other
governmental authority with jurisdiction over such transfer or (ii) terminate the existence or qualification of the Partnership or any
Group Member under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation.

 

(b)               Nothing
contained in this Article IV, or elsewhere in this Agreement, shall preclude the settlement of any transactions involving
Partnership Interests entered into through the facilities of any National Securities Exchange on which such Partnership Interests
are listed or admitted to trading.

 

(c)              
The transfer of a Series A Preferred Unit shall be subject to the restrictions imposed by this Article IV and by Section
5.11(c)(xi).

(b)              
As of the Effective Date, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Incentive Distribution Rights that were held by KNOT and were

federal income tax purposes.

 

Section 5.3           
Interest and Withdrawal. No interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital Contributions. No Partner shall be
entitled to the withdrawal or return of its Capital Contribution, except to the extent, if any, that distributions made pursuant to this
Agreement or upon dissolution of the Partnership may be considered and permitted as such by law and then only to the extent provided
for in this Agreement. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall have priority over any other Partner
either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions.

 

Section 5.4           
Issuances of Additional Partnership Interests.

 

(a)              
Subject to any approvals required by Series A Preferred Unitholders pursuant to Section 5.11(c)(v), the Partnership may
issue additional Partnership Interests and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to the Partnership Interests for
any Partnership purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as the
Board of Directors shall determine, all without the approval of any Partners.

 

(b)               Each
additional Partnership Interest authorized to be issued by the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.4(a) may be issued in one or
more classes, or one or more series of any such classes, with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may
be senior to existing classes and series of Partnership Interests), as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, including (i) the
right to share in Partnership distributions; (ii) the rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iii) whether, and
the terms and conditions upon which, the Partnership may or shall be required to redeem the Partnership Interest (including sinking
fund provisions); (iv) whether such Partnership Interest is issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the
terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (v) the terms and conditions upon which each Partnership Interest will be
issued, evidenced by certificates and assigned or transferred; (vi) the method for determining the Percentage Interest as to such
Partnership Interest; and (vii) the right, if any, of each such Partnership Interest to vote on Partnership matters, including
matters relating to the relative rights, preferences and privileges of such Partnership Interest.

 

    26 

     

    

 

(c)              
The Board of Directors shall take all actions that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with (i) each issuance
of Partnership Interests and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section
5.4, (ii) the conversion of the General Partner Interest (represented by General Partner Units) or any convertible Partnership Interest
into Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) the admission of additional Limited Partners and (iv) all additional issuances
of Partnership Interests. The Board of Directors shall determine the relative rights, powers and duties of the holders of the Units or
other Partnership Interests being so issued. The Board of Directors shall do all things necessary to comply with the Marshall Islands
Act and is authorized and directed to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with any future issuance
of Partnership Interests or in connection with the conversion of the General Partner Interest or any convertible Partnership Interest
into Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including compliance with any statute, rule, regulation or guideline of any federal,
state or other governmental agency or any National Securities Exchange on which the Units or other Partnership Interests are listed or
admitted to trading.

 

Section 5.5           
Limitations on Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests. Subject to Section 5.11(c)(v), the Partnership
may issue an unlimited number of Partnership Interests (or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights related thereto) pursuant
to Section 5.4 without the approval of the Partners; provided, however, that no fractional units shall be issued by the Partnership;
and provided, further, that without the approval of the General Partner, the Partnership shall not issue any equity where such issuance
(as determined by the Board of Directors) (a) is not reasonably expected to be accretive to equity within 12 months of issuance or (b)
would otherwise have a material adverse impact on the General Partner or the General Partner Interest. For the avoidance of doubt, this
Section 5.5 shall not restrict the ability of the Partnership to issue additional Series A Preferred Units as provided by the
Series A Purchase Agreement prior to June 30, 2017.

 

Section 5.6           
[Reserved].

 

Section 5.7           
Limited Preemptive Right.

 

(a)               Except
as provided in this Section 5.7, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to the
issuance of any Partnership Interest, whether unissued, held in the treasury or hereafter created. The General Partner shall have
the right, which it may from time to time assign in whole or in part to any of its Affiliates, to purchase Partnership Interests
from the Partnership whenever, and on the same terms that, the Partnership issues Partnership Interests to Persons other than the
General Partner and its Affiliates, to the extent necessary to maintain the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and its
Affiliates equal to that which existed immediately prior to the issuance of such Partnership Interests; provided, however, that the
amount of any series of Preferred Units issued by the Partnership from time to time that the General Partner shall have a right to
purchase pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall equal the product of (a) the aggregate Percentage Interest of the General Partner
and its Affiliates multiplied by (b) the number of such series of Preferred Units so issued.

 

    27 

     

    

 

(b)              
Upon the issuance of any additional Limited Partner Interests by the Partnership (other than the issuance of Limited Partner Interests
upon conversion of outstanding Limited Partner Interests), the General Partner may, in exchange for a proportionate number of General
Partner Units, make additional Capital Contributions in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the quotient determined
by dividing (A) the General Partner’s Percentage Interest immediately prior to such issuance by (B) 100 less the General Partner’s
Percentage Interest immediately prior to such issuance by (ii) the amount contributed to the Partnership by the Limited Partners in exchange
for such additional Limited Partner Interests. The General Partner shall not be obligated to make additional Capital Contributions to
the Partnership.

 

Section 5.8           
Splits and Combinations.

 

(a)              
Subject to Sections 5.8(d), the Partnership may make a Pro Rata distribution of Partnership Interests to all Record Holders
or may effect a subdivision or combination of Partnership Interests so long as, after any such event, each Partner shall have the same
Percentage Interest in the Partnership as before such event, and any amounts calculated on a per Unit basis (including any Common Unit
Arrearage or Cumulative Common Unit Arrearage) or stated as a number of Units are proportionately adjusted.

 

(b)              
Whenever such a Pro Rata distribution, subdivision or combination of Partnership Interests is declared, the Board of Directors
shall select a Record Date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective and shall send notice thereof at
least 20 days prior to such Record Date to each Record Holder as of a date not less than 10 days prior to the date of such notice. The
Board of Directors also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number of Partnership Interests
to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Board of Directors shall be
entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

 

(c)              
Promptly following any such distribution, subdivision or combination, the Partnership may issue Certificates or uncertificated
Partnership Interests to the Record Holders of Partnership Interests as of the applicable Record Date representing the new number of Partnership
Interests held by such Record Holders, or the Board of Directors may adopt such other procedures that it determines to be necessary or
appropriate to reflect such changes. If any such combination results in a smaller total number of Partnership Interests Outstanding, the
Partnership shall require, as a condition to the delivery to a Record Holder of such new Certificate or uncertificated Partnership Interest,
the surrender of any Certificate held by such Record Holder immediately prior to such Record Date.

 

    28 

     

    

 

(d)              
 The Partnership shall not issue fractional Units upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Units. If a distribution,
subdivision or combination of Units would result in the issuance of fractional Units but for the provisions of this Section 5.8(d),
each fractional Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Unit (and a 0.5 Unit shall be rounded to the next higher Unit).

 

Section 5.9           
Fully Paid and Non-Assessable Nature of Limited Partner Interests. All Limited Partner Interests issued pursuant
to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this Article V shall be fully paid and non-assessable Limited Partner Interests
in the Partnership, except as such non-assessability may be affected by the Marshall Islands Act.

 

Section 5.10       
[Reserved].

 

Section 5.11       
Establishment of Series A Preferred Units.

 

(a)              
General. The Partnership hereby designates and creates a series of Preferred Units to be designated as “Series A Convertible
Preferred Units” (the “Series A Preferred Units”), consisting of a total of 3,750,000 authorized Series
A Preferred Units, which represent a fractional part of the Partnership Interests of all Limited Partners, and having the same rights,
preferences and privileges, and subject to the same duties and obligations, as the Common Units, except as set forth in this Section
5.11 and in Section 12.4. However, in the event of any conflict between the rights, preferences, privileges, duties and obligations
of the Common Units or any other class of Partnership Interest as set forth in this Agreement and the provisions of this Section 5.11
and in Section 12.4 that specifically set forth the rights, preferences, privileges, duties and obligations of the Series A Preferred
Units, such specific provisions shall control. On the Effective Date, a total of 3,541,666 Series A Preferred Units were issued and outstanding,
and no additional Series A Preferred Units shall be designated, created or issued. No fractional Series A Preferred Units shall be issued.

 

(b)              
Rank of Series A Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units will rank senior to all Common Units and Class B Units and
any other class or series of equity securities of the Partnership outstanding as of the Series A Issuance Date with respect to distribution
rights and Liquidation Preference.

 

(c)              
Rights of Series A Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units shall have the following rights, preferences and privileges
and the Series A Preferred Unitholders shall be subject to the following duties and obligations:

 

(i)                
Distributions.

 

(A)             Commencing
with the Quarter ending on March 31, 2017, the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units as of an applicable Record Date for
any Quarter shall be entitled to receive cumulative distributions in respect of such Quarter equal to the sum of (1) the Series A
Distribution Amount and (2) any Series A Unpaid Cash Distributions (collectively, a “Series A Quarterly
Distribution”), prior to any other distributions made in respect of any other Partnership Interests pursuant to Section
6.2, in the amount set forth in this Section 5.11(c)(i)(A) in respect of each outstanding Series A Preferred Unit. All
such distributions shall be paid quarterly in cash within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Quarter (each such payment
date, a “Series A Distribution Payment Date”). If the Partnership establishes a Record Date for any
distribution to be made by the Partnership on other Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 6.2 in respect of any Quarter,
then the Record Date established pursuant to this Section 5.11(c)(i)(A) for a Series A Quarterly Distribution in respect of
such Quarter shall be the same Record Date. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 5.11(c)(i)(C), the Series A
Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any distributions made pursuant to Section 6.2 for any Quarter so long as the Series
A Quarterly Distribution has been declared and paid on the Series A Preferred Units with respect to such Quarter.

 

    29 

     

    

 

(B)             
If the Partnership fails to pay in full the Series A Distribution Amount of any Series A Quarterly Distribution in cash when due
for any Quarter, then from and after the first date of such failure and continuing until such failure is cured by payment in full in cash
of all such arrearages, (1) the amount of such unpaid cash distributions (“Series A Unpaid Cash Distributions”)
unless and until paid will accrue and accumulate from and including the first day of the Quarter immediately following the Quarter in
respect of which such payment is due until paid in full and (2) the Partnership shall not be permitted to, and shall not, declare or make
any distributions in respect of any Common Units or Series A Junior Securities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to
the Quarter for which the Partnership first failed to pay in full the Series A Distribution Amount of any Series A Quarterly Distribution
in cash when due). No interest or sum of money in lieu of interest or distributions, whether payable in cash, property or Units, shall
be payable in respect of any Series A Unpaid Cash Distributions.

 

(C)             
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.11(c)(i) to the contrary, with respect to any Series A Preferred Unit that is
converted into a Common Unit, the Record Holder thereof shall not be entitled to a distribution in respect of such Series A Preferred
Unit and a distribution in respect of such Common Unit with respect to the same period, but shall be entitled only to the distribution
to be paid based upon the class of Units held as of the close of business on the applicable Record Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if
a Series A Conversion Date occurs prior to the close of business on a Record Date for payment of a distribution on the Common Units, the
applicable Record Holder of Series A Preferred Units shall receive, with respect to any Series A Preferred Units that have converted into
Common Units, only the distribution in respect of such Common Units with respect to such period.

 

(ii)             
Issuance of the Series A Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units shall be issued by the Partnership pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the Series A Purchase Agreement.

 

    30 

     

    

 

 

(iii)           
Liquidation Rights.

 

(A)             Subject
to Section 5.11(c)(iii)(B), upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, Series A Preferred Unitholders (to the extent their
Series A Preferred Units have not been converted to Common Units in accordance with Section 5.11(c)(vii) prior to the
occurrence of such Liquidation Event) shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Partnership or proceeds thereof legally
available for distribution to the Partners, (i) after satisfaction of all liabilities, if any, to creditors of the Partnership, (ii)
after all applicable distributions of such assets or proceeds being made to or set aside for the holders of any Series A Senior
Securities then Outstanding in respect of such Liquidation Event, (iii) concurrently with any applicable distributions of such
assets or proceeds being made to or set aside for holders of any Series A Parity Interests then Outstanding in respect of such
Liquidation Event and (iv) before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of Common
Units and any other classes or series of Series A Junior Securities as to such distribution, a liquidating distribution or payment
in full redemption of such Series A Preferred Units, in an amount equal to the Series A Liquidation Preference. For purposes of
clarity, upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, (x) the holders of then Outstanding Series A Senior Securities shall be
entitled to receive the applicable Liquidation Preference on such Series A Senior Securities before any distribution shall be made
with respect to the Series A Preferred Units or any Series A Parity Securities and (y) the Series A Preferred Unitholders shall be
entitled to the Series A Liquidation Preference per Series A Preferred Unit in cash, concurrently with any distribution made to the
holders of any Series A Parity Securities and before any distribution shall be made to the holders of Common Units or any other
Series A Junior Securities. Series A Preferred Holders shall not be entitled to any other amounts from the Partnership, in their
capacity as Series A Preferred Holders, after they have received the Series A Liquidation Preference. The payment of the Series A
Liquidation Preference in full shall be a payment in redemption of the Series A Preferred Units, such that, from and after payment
of the full Series A Liquidation Preference, any such Series A Preferred Unit shall thereafter be cancelled and no longer be
Outstanding.

 

(B)             
If, in the event of any distribution or payment described in Section 5.11(c)(iii)(A) above where the Partnership’s
assets available for distribution to holders of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units and any Series A Parity Interests are insufficient
to satisfy the applicable Liquidation Preference for such Series A Preferred Units and Parity Interests, the Partnership’s then
remaining assets or proceeds thereof legally available for distribution to unitholders of the Partnership shall be distributed among the
holders of Outstanding Series A Preferred Units and such Series A Parity Securities, as applicable, ratably on the basis of their relative
aggregate Liquidation Preferences. To the extent that the Series A Preferred Holders receive a partial payment of their Series A Liquidation
Preference, such partial payment shall reduce the Series A Liquidation Preference of their Series A Preferred Units, but only to the extent
of such amount paid.

 

(C)             
After payment of the applicable Liquidation Preference in full to the holders of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units and any
Series A Parity Securities, the Partnership’s remaining assets and funds shall be distributed among the holders of the Common Units
and any other Series A Junior Securities then Outstanding according to their respective rights and preferences in accordance with Section
12.4.

 

    31

    

    

 

(iv)           
 Voting Rights.

 

(A)            
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph and Section 5.11(c)(iv)(B), the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units shall
have voting rights that are identical to the voting rights of the Outstanding Common Units and Class B Units and shall vote with the Common
Units and Class B Units as a single class, so that each Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit will be entitled to one vote for each Common
Unit into which such Series A Preferred Unit is then convertible at the then applicable Series A Conversion Rate (or, if the Series A
Preferred Units are not then convertible, assuming that such Series A Preferred Units are convertible at the then applicable Series A
Conversion Rate) on each matter with respect to which each Record Holder of a Common Unit is entitled to vote; provided, however,
that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Series A Preferred Units shall not have any right to nominate, appoint
or elect any of the Elected Directors or the Appointed Directors other than as set forth in Section 5.11(c)(iv)(D) following the
occurrence of a Series A Trigger Event. Other than with respect to the nomination, appointment or election of any member of the Board
of Directors, each reference in this Agreement to a vote of Record Holders of Common Units shall be deemed to be a reference to the Record
Holders of Common Units and Series A Preferred Units on an “as if” converted basis, and the definition of “Unit Majority”
shall correspondingly be construed to mean at least a majority of the Common Units, Class B Units and the Series A Preferred Units, on
an “as if” converted basis, voting together as a single class during any period in which any Series A Preferred Units are
Outstanding.

 

(B)             
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in addition to all other requirements of the Marshall Islands Act, and all
other voting rights granted under this Agreement, the affirmative vote of at least 67% of the Series A Preferred Units, voting separately
as a class based upon one vote per Series A Preferred Unit, will be necessary for any amendment (excluding any amendment of a ministerial
or administrative nature) to this Agreement or the Certificate of Limited Partnership that (i) adversely affects any of the rights, preferences
and privileges of the Series A Preferred Units or (ii) amends or modifies any of the terms of the Series A Preferred Units. Without limiting
the generality of the preceding sentence, any action shall be deemed to adversely affect the holders of the Series A Preferred Units if
such action would:

 

(1)              
reduce the Series A Distribution Amount, change the form of payment of distributions on the Series A Preferred Units, defer
the date from which distributions on the Series A Preferred Units will accrue, cancel accrued and unpaid distributions on the Series A
Preferred Units, or change the seniority rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Units as to the payment of distributions in relation
to the unitholders of any other class or series of units;

 

    32

    

    

 

(2)               reduce
the amount payable or change the form of payment to the holders of the Series A Preferred Units upon the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets, of the Partnership, or change the
seniority of the Liquidation Preferences of the holders of the Series A Preferred Units in relation to the rights upon liquidation
of the holders of any other class or series of units;

 

(3)              
make the Series A Preferred Units redeemable or convertible at the option of the Partnership other than as set forth in
this Agreement; or

 

(4)              
result in the Partnership incurring or assuming additional indebtedness that would cause the Partnership’s total consolidated
indebtedness to represent more than 70% of its total consolidated capitalization.

 

(C)             
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.11(c)(iv), except as contemplated by Section 5.11(c)(iv)(A),
in no event shall the consent of the Series A Preferred Unitholders, be required in connection with any Partnership Restructuring Event
or Series A Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit the voting rights of any Series A Preferred Unitholder
in connection with the vote of Record Holders of Common Units, Class B Units and Series A Preferred Units together as a single class.

 

(D)            
Upon the occurrence of a Series A Trigger Event, the Partnership shall notify the Holders of Series A Preferred Units and the Holders
of any other series of Preferred Units upon which like rights have been conferred and are exercisable, of the occurrence thereof, whereupon
the General Partner will promptly substitute one of the Appointed Directors for one director selected by the Holders of the Preferred
Units (with such like rights) by written notice to the Partnership holding at least 67% of the Preferred Units (with such like rights)
then outstanding (a “Holders’ Nominee”) and appoint such Holders’ Nominee to the Board of Directors
as an Appointed Director; provided, however, that the Holder’s Nominee shall not be a resident of Norway for purposes
of the Tax Act on Income and Wealth unless the General Partner so consents. In no event will the Holders of Preferred Units be entitled
to more than one Holders’ Nominee. Upon payment of all accrued and unpaid distributions then-outstanding in respect of the Preferred
Units, the Holders’ Nominee will agree to resign from the Board of Directors effective immediately, unless and until a subsequent
Series A Trigger Event, if any, occurs. Subject to the preceding sentence, any Holders’ Nominee may be removed at any time without
Cause only by the Holders of 67% of the Series A Preferred Units and the Holders of any other series of Preferred Units upon which such
rights have been conferred and are exercisable, voting together as a class. If any Holders’ Nominee is removed, resigns or is otherwise
unable to serve as a member of the Board of Directors, the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units and, if applicable,
any other Preferred Units, voting together as a class, shall appoint an individual to fill the vacancy.

 

    33

    

    

 

(E)             
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) if a Series A Preferred Unitholder is a Norwegian Resident Holder, the Series
A Preferred Units held by such Person will have none of the voting rights described in this Section 5.11(c)(iv) and (y) the 4.9%
limitation set forth in the definition of “Outstanding” shall apply to the Holders of Series A Preferred Units with respect
to the voting of the Series A Preferred Units together with the Common Units and Class B Units as a single class.

 

(v)            
Series A Senior Securities; Series A Parity Securities. The Partnership will not, without the affirmative vote of the holders
of at least 67% of the Series A Preferred Units, issue any Series A Parity Securities or Series A Senior Securities (or amend the provisions
of any class of Partnership Interest to make such class a class of Series A Parity Securities or Series A Senior Securities); provided,
however, that the Partnership may, without the affirmative vote of the holders of Preferred Units, create (by reclassification or
otherwise) and issue Series A Junior Securities in an unlimited amount; provided, further, however, that the Partnership may issue
after the Initial Series A Issuance Date Series A Parity Securities such that the aggregate amount of the Series A Preferred Units then
outstanding and the Series A Parity Securities, on a pro-forma basis for such issuance, does not exceed 33.33% of the book value of the
sum of the Partnership’s then outstanding aggregate amount of Common Units, Series A Parity Securities (including the Series A Preferred
Units) and Series A Junior Securities, without the consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Units.

 

(vi)           
Certificates.

 

(A)            
If requested by a Series A Preferred Unitholder, the Series A Preferred Units shall be evidenced by certificates in such form as
the Board of Directors may approve and, subject to any applicable legal, regulatory and contractual requirements or any other limitations
set forth in this Section 5.11, may be assigned or transferred in a manner identical to the assignment and transfer of other Units.
Any certificates evidencing Series A Preferred Units shall be separately identified and shall not bear the same CUSIP number as any certificates
evidencing Common Units.

 

(B)             
Any certificate(s) representing the Series A Preferred Units may be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

“NEITHER THE OFFER NOR SALE
OF THESE SECURITIES HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR
SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR
PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER AND, IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS SOLD
PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE PARTNERSHIP HAS RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH
TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT. THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN
THE FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT OF THE PARTNERSHIP, DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER [●], 2021, A COPY OF
WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE PARTNERSHIP AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES.”

 

    34

    

    

 

(vii)         
Conversion.

 

(A)            
At the Option of the Series A Preferred Unitholders. Beginning with the earlier of (i) second anniversary of the Initial
Series A Issuance Date and (ii) immediately prior to the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Partnership under Section 12.4,
the Series A Preferred Units owned by any Series A Preferred Unitholder shall be convertible, in the sole discretion of such Series A
Preferred Unitholder, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time upon the request of such Series A Preferred Unitholder, but
not more than once per Quarter per Series A Preferred Unitholder, into a number of Common Units determined by multiplying the number of
Series A Preferred Units to be converted by the Series A Conversion Rate; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be
obligated to honor any such conversion request if such conversion request does not involve an underlying value of Common Units held by
one or more Series A Preferred Unitholders in an aggregate of at least $10,000,000 based on the Closing Price of Common Units on the Trading
Day immediately preceding the Series A Conversion Notice Date (or such lesser amount to the extent such exercise covers all of such Series
A Preferred Unitholder’s Series A Preferred Units). Immediately upon the effectiveness of any conversion of Series A Preferred Units,
all rights of the Series A Converting Unitholder in respect thereof shall cease, including, without limitation, any further accrual of
distributions, and such Series A Converting Unitholder thereafter shall be treated for all purposes as the owner of Common Units. Fractional
Common Units shall not be issued to any person pursuant to this Section 5.11(c)(vii)(A) (each fractional Common Unit shall be rounded
down with the remainder being paid an amount in cash based on the Closing Price of Common Units on the Trading Day immediately preceding
such date of conversion).

 

(B)             
At the Option of the Partnership. At any time following the second anniversary of the Initial Series A Issuance Date, the
Partnership, in its sole discretion, shall have the right at any time, but not more than once per Quarter, to convert all or any portion
of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Units into a number of Common Units determined by multiplying the number of Series A Preferred
Units to be converted by the Series A Conversion Rate. Fractional Common Units shall not be issued to any person pursuant to this Section
5.11(c)(vii)(B) (each fractional Common Unit shall be rounded down with the remainder being paid an amount in cash based on the Closing
Price of Common Units on the Trading Day immediately preceding such date of conversion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order for the
Partnership to exercise such option,

 

    35

    

    

 

(1)              the
aggregate market value (calculated using the Average VWAP for the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the date the Partnership
furnishes the Series A Forced Conversion Notice) of the Common Units into which the then outstanding Series A Preferred Units are convertible,
based on the then applicable Series A Conversion Rate, must be greater than one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the aggregate Series
A Issue Price of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Units;

 

(2)              the aggregate market value (calculated using the Closing Price for the last Trading Day immediately preceding the date the
Partnership furnishes the Series A Forced Conversion Notice) of the Common Units into which the then outstanding Series A Preferred Units
are convertible, based on the then applicable Series A Conversion Rate, must be greater than one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the
aggregate Series A Issue Price of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Units;

 

(3)              the average daily trading volume of the Common Units on the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then
listed or admitted to trading must be equal to or exceed 40,000 (as such amount may be adjusted to reflect any Unit split, combination
or similar event) for the twenty (20) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date that the Partnership furnishes the Series A Forced
Conversion Notice;

 

(4)              the Partnership must have an effective registration statement on file with the Commission covering resales of the underlying
Common Units to be received upon any such conversion; and

 

(5)              the Partnership must have paid any accrued and unpaid distributions on the Series A Preferred Units to the date of conversion;

 

provided, however,
in each case, that each such conversion by the Partnership shall be for an aggregate amount of Series A Preferred Units involving an underlying
value of Common Units of at least $10,000,000 based on the Closing Price of Common Units on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
date of such conversion (or such lesser amount if such amount includes all then outstanding Series A Preferred Units) and shall be allocated
among the Series A Preferred Unitholders on a Pro Rata basis or on such other basis as may be agreed upon by the Series A Preferred Unitholders.

 

(C)             
Conversion Notice.

 

(1)              To
convert Series A Preferred Units into Common Units pursuant to Section 5.11(c)(vii)(A), the Series A Converting Unitholder shall
give written notice (a “Series A Conversion Notice,” and the date such notice is received, a “Series
A Conversion Notice Date”) to the Partnership stating that such Series A Preferred Unitholder elects to so convert Series
A Preferred Units and shall state or include therein with respect to Series A Preferred Units to be converted pursuant to Section
5.11(c)(vii)(A) the following: (a) the number of Series A Preferred Units to be converted, and (b) if a Certificate has been issued
for such Series A Preferred Units, the Certificate(s) evidencing the Series A Preferred Units to be converted and duly endorsed.

 

    36

    

    

 

(2)              
To convert Series A Preferred Units into Common Units pursuant to Section 5.11(c)(vii)(B), the Partnership shall
give written notice (a “Series A Forced Conversion Notice,” and the date such notice is received, a “Series
A Forced Conversion Notice Date”) to each Record Holder of Series A Preferred Units stating that the Partnership elects
to force conversion of such Series A Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.11(c)(vii)(B). The Series A Conversion Units shall be
issued in the name of the Record Holder of such Series A Preferred Units.

 

(D)            
Timing; Certificates. If a Series A Conversion Notice is delivered by a Series A Preferred Unitholder to the Partnership
or a Series A Forced Conversion Notice is delivered by the Partnership to a Series A Preferred Unitholder, each in accordance with Section
5.11(c)(vii)(C), the Partnership shall issue the Series A Conversion Units no later than seven (7) days after the Series A Conversion
Notice Date or the Series A Forced Conversion Notice Date, as the case may be, occurs (any date of issuance of such Common Units, a “Series
A Conversion Date”). On the Series A Conversion Date, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository’s Fast
Automated Securities Transfer program, the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to electronically
transmit the Series A Conversion Units issuable upon conversion to such Series A Preferred Unitholder (or designated recipient(s)), by
crediting the account of the Series A Preferred Unitholder (or designated recipient(s)) prime broker with the Depository through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system. If the Transfer Agent is not participating in the Depository’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer
program, or if requested by such Series A Preferred Unitholder, the Partnership shall issue to such Series A Preferred Unitholder (or
designated recipient(s)) a Certificate or Certificates for the number of Series A Conversion Units to which such Series A Preferred Unitholder
shall be entitled. The parties agree to coordinate with the Depository to accomplish this objective. Upon issuance of Series A Conversion
Units to the Series A Converting Unitholder, all rights under the converted Series A Preferred Units shall cease, and such Series A Converting
Unitholder shall be treated for all purposes as the Record Holder of such Series A Conversion Units.

 

    37

    

    

 

(E)              Distributions,
Combinations, Subdivisions and Reclassifications by the Partnership. If, after the Initial Series A Issuance Date, the
Partnership (i) makes a distribution on its Common Units payable in Common Units or another Partnership Interest, (ii) subdivides or
splits its outstanding Common Units into a greater number of Common Units, (iii) combines or reclassifies its Common Units into a
smaller number of Common Units or (iv) issues by reclassification of its Common Units any Partnership Interests (including any
reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving
Person), in each case other than in connection with a Series A Change of Control (which shall be governed by Section
5.11(c)(x)), then the Series A Conversion Rate in effect at the time of the Record Date for such distribution or the effective
date of such subdivision, split, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the conversion of the
Series A Preferred Units after such time shall entitle each Series A Preferred Unitholder to receive the aggregate number of Common
Units (or any Partnership Interests into which such Common Units would have been combined, consolidated, merged or reclassified
pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) above) that such Series A Preferred Unitholder would have been entitled to receive if the Series
A Preferred Units had been converted into Common Units immediately prior to such Record Date or effective date, as the case may be,
and in the case of a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving Person, the Partnership
shall provide effective provisions to ensure that the provisions in this Section 5.11 relating to the Series A Preferred
Units shall not be abridged or amended and that the Series A Preferred Units shall thereafter retain the same powers, preferences
and relative participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereon, that
the Series A Preferred Units had immediately prior to such transaction or event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section
5.11(c)(vii)(E) shall become effective immediately after the Record Date in the case of a distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification (including any
reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving
Person) or split. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event described above shall occur.

 

(F)             
Quarterly Redetermination of Series A Conversion Rate.

 

(1)              
The Series A Conversion Rate shall be redetermined on a quarterly basis. The redetermined Series A Conversion Rate shall
become effective at 11:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on the later of the (a) date of public dissemination by the Partnership of the
Partnership’s quarterly earnings press release with respect to the immediately preceding Quarter and (b) ex-dividend date relating
to the quarterly cash distribution with respect to such Quarter. The Series A Conversion Rate, as redetermined, shall be equal to the
Series A Issue Price divided by the product of (x) the book value per Common Unit at the end of the immediately preceding Quarter (pro-forma
for per unit cash distributions payable with respect to such Quarter) multiplied by (y) the quotient of (i) the Series A Issue Price divided
by (ii) the book value per Common Unit on the Initial Series A Issuance Date.

 

    38

    

    

 

(2)              If
during a Quarter the Partnership declares an extraordinary or special cash distribution, the Series A Conversion Rate will be further
adjusted to reflect the extraordinary or special cash distribution as if it had occurred immediately prior to the end of the immediately
preceding Quarter. Such further adjustment shall become effective at 11:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on the ex-dividend date relating
to such extraordinary or special cash distribution.

 

(3)              In the event, and at the time of, a purchase or issuance by the Partnership of Common Units after the Initial Series A Issuance
Date, the Series A Conversion Rate will be further adjusted to reflect such purchase or issuance of Common Units as if it had been effected
at a price equal to the book value per Common Unit on the last day of the immediately preceding Quarter. The adjustment referred to in
this Section 5.11(c)(vii)(F), as so calculated, shall be included in the redetermination of the Series A Conversion Rate in Quarters
subsequent to the Quarter in which the repurchase or issuance occurs.

 

(4)              In
the event a change in accounting principles occurs that impacts the computation of book value per Common Unit, there shall be an adjustment
to the calculation of the Series A Conversion Rate so that the Series A Conversion Rate immediately preceding such change in accounting
principles is identical to the Series A Conversion Rate immediately following such change in accounting principles. The adjustment referred
to in this Section 5.11(c)(vii)(F), as so calculated, shall be included in the redetermination of the Series A Conversion Rate
in Quarters from and including the Quarter in which the change in accounting principles occurs.

 

(5)              Distributions
of property or securities of the Partnership for which no other adjustment to the Series A Conversion Rate is provided in this Agreement
shall be treated as if cash was distributed by the Partnership in an amount equal to the market value of such property or securities
at the time of such distribution, such market value to be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.

 

(6)              For
the avoidance of doubt, the intended effect of the adjustments to the Series A Conversion Rate provided in this Section 5.11(c)(vii)(F)
is reflected in the example computations set forth in Exhibit D to this Agreement.

 

(viii)        Optional
Redemption. Subject to clause (F) below, the Partnership shall have the right at any time and from time to time, during the
period beginning on or after the second anniversary and ending on the tenth anniversary of the Initial Series A Issuance Date, to
redeem the Series A Preferred Units, in whole or in part, from any source of funds legally available for such purpose. Any such
redemption shall occur on a date set by the Partnership (the “Series A Redemption Date”).

 

    39

    

    

 

(A)            
The Partnership shall effect any such redemption by paying cash for each Series A Preferred Unit to be redeemed equal to the then
applicable Series A Redemption Price on such Series A Redemption Date. So long as the Series A Preferred Units are held of record by the
nominee of the Depository, the Series A Redemption Price shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Depository on the Series A Redemption
Date.

 

(B)             
The Partnership shall give notice of any redemption by mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before
the scheduled Series A Redemption Date, to the Series A Preferred Holders (as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day next
preceding the day on which notice is given) of any Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed as such Series A Preferred Holders’ names
appear on the books of the Transfer Agent and at the address of such Series A Preferred Holders shown therein. Such notice (the “Series
A Redemption Notice”) shall state: (1) the Series A Redemption Date, (2) the number of Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed
and, if less than all Outstanding Series A Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the number (and the identification) of Units to be redeemed
from such Series A Preferred Holder, (3) the Series A Redemption Price, (4) the place where the Series A Preferred Units are to be redeemed
and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Series A Redemption Price therefor and (5) that distributions on the Units to
be redeemed shall cease to accumulate from and after such Series A Redemption Date.

 

(C)             
If the Partnership elects to redeem less than all of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, the number of Series A Preferred
Units to be redeemed shall be determined by the Board of Directors, and such Series A Preferred Units shall be redeemed by such method
of selection as the Depository shall determine either Pro Rata or by lot, with adjustments to avoid redemption of fractional Series A
Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units not redeemed shall remain Outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided
in this Section 5.11.

 

    40

    

    

 

(D)             If
the Partnership gives or causes to be given a Series A Redemption Notice, the Partnership shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds,
sufficient to redeem the Series A Preferred Units as to which such Series A Redemption Notice shall have been given, no later than
5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Series A Redemption Date, and shall give the Paying Agent
irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Series A Redemption Price to the Series A Preferred Holders to be redeemed upon
surrender or deemed surrender (which shall occur automatically if the certificate representing such Series A Preferred Units is
issued in the name of the Depository or its nominee) of the Certificates therefor as set forth in the Series A Redemption Notice. If
the Series A Redemption Notice shall have been given, from and after the Series A Redemption Date, unless the Partnership defaults
in providing funds sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the Series A Redemption
Notice, all Series A Distributions on such Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease to accumulate and all rights of
holders of such Series A Preferred Units as Limited Partners with respect to such Series A Preferred Units shall cease, except the
right to receive the Series A Redemption Price, and such Series A Preferred Units shall not thereafter be transferred on the books
of the Transfer Agent or be deemed to be Outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. The Partnership shall be entitled to receive from
the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited with the Paying Agent (to the extent that such interest
income is not required to pay the Series A Redemption Price of the Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed), and the holders of any
Series A Preferred Units so redeemed shall have no claim to any such interest income. Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent
hereunder by the Partnership for any reason, including redemption of Series A Preferred Units, that remain unclaimed or unpaid after
two years after the applicable Series A Redemption Date or other payment date, shall be, to the extent permitted by law, repaid to
the Partnership upon its written request, after which repayment the Series A Preferred Holders entitled to such redemption or other
payment shall have recourse only to the Partnership. Notwithstanding any Series A Redemption Notice, there shall be no redemption of
any Series A Preferred Units called for redemption until funds sufficient to pay the full Series A Redemption Price of such Series A
Preferred Units shall have been deposited by the Partnership with the Paying Agent.

 

(E)             
Any Series A Preferred Units that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Partnership shall be canceled and shall not be considered
outstanding. If only a portion of the Series A Preferred Units represented by a Certificate shall have been called for redemption, upon
surrender of the Certificate to the Paying Agent (which shall occur automatically if the Certificate representing such Series A Preferred
Units is registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee), the Paying Agent shall issue to the Series A Preferred Holders a new
Certificate (or adjust the applicable book-entry account) representing the number of Series A Preferred Units represented by the surrendered
Certificate that have not been called for redemption.

 

(F)             
Upon receipt of a Series A Redemption Notice, a Holder of Series A Preferred Units may elect, instead, to convert such Series A
Preferred Units that are the subject of the Series A Redemption Notice into a number of Common Units determined by multiplying the number
of Series A Preferred Units to be converted by the Series A Conversion Rate.

 

    41

    

    

 

(ix)           
Redemption at Series A Preferred Holders’ Option. The Series A Preferred Holders shall have the right to cause the
Partnership to redeem the Series A Preferred Units, in full or in part, solely on the date that is the tenth anniversary of the Initial
Series A Issuance Date. Any Series A Preferred Holders exercising its right pursuant to this Section 5.11(c)(ix) must provide
notice to the Partnership by mail not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the tenth anniversary of the Initial Series
A Issuance Date, setting forth its desire to exercise its optional redemption right pursuant to this Section 5.11(c)(ix) and
the number of Series A Preferred Units that it wishes to redeem. The Partnership shall, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred
Units pursuant to this paragraph (i) in cash at a price equal to 70% of the Series A Issue Price, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions
in respect of such Series A Preferred Units, or (ii) in Common Units such that each Series A Preferred Unit receives Common Units worth
80% of the Series A Issue Price, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions thereon. The value of the Common Units to be delivered pursuant
to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be determined based on the VWAP of the Common Units for the thirty (30) Trading Day period
ending on the fifth Trading Day immediately prior to the redemption date.

 

(x)            
Redemption Upon a Series A Change of Control.

 

(A)            
Promptly upon entry into definitive agreements or the existence of other definitive documentation that provide for a Series A Change
of Control, if the Partnership has not issued a press release or other widely disseminated public statement regarding the entry into such
definitive agreements, the Partnership shall provide written notice thereof to the Series A Preferred Unitholders. If a Series A Change
of Control occurs, then each Series A Preferred Unitholder, with respect to all but not less than all of its Series A Preferred Units,
by notice given to the Partnership within ten (10) Business Days of the date the Partnership provides written notice of the execution
of definitive agreements that provide for such Series A Change of Control, shall be entitled to require the Partnership to redeem their
Series A Preferred Units for a cash amount equal to 100% of the Series A Issue Price, plus accrued and unpaid distributions if any, on
such Series A Preferred Units.

 

(B)             
For the avoidance of doubt, the approval of the Series A Preferred Unitholders shall not be required in connection with a Series
A Change of Control or Partnership Restructuring Event; however, Series A Preferred Unitholders shall be entitled to vote on a one-for-one
as-converted basis if there is a vote of holders of the Common Units and Class B Units in connection with either circumstance.

 

(xi)           
Series A Preferred Unit Transfer Restrictions.

 

(A)            
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.11(c)(xi), each Series A Purchaser shall be permitted at any time
after the Series A Issuance Date to transfer any Series A Preferred Units owned by such Series A Purchaser to any of its Affiliates or
to any other Series A Purchaser.

 

    42

    

    

 

(B)              Without
the prior written consent of the Partnership, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each Series A Preferred Unitholder
shall not, (a) during the period commencing on the Initial Series A Issuance Date and ending on the second anniversary of the
Initial Series A Issuance Date, 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 to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly,
any of its Series A Preferred Units, (b) during the period commencing on the Initial Series A Issuance Date and ending on the second
anniversary of the Initial Series A Issuance Date, directly or indirectly engage in any short sales or other derivative or hedging
transactions with respect to the Series A Preferred Units or Common Units that are designed to, or that might reasonably be expected
to, result in the transfer to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Series A Preferred
Units, (c) transfer any Series A Preferred Units to any non-U.S. resident individual, non-U.S. corporation or partnership, or any
other non-U.S. entity, including any foreign governmental entity, including by means of any swap or other transaction or arrangement
that transfers or that is designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to, result in the transfer to another, in whole or in
part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Series A Preferred Units, regardless of whether any transaction described
in clauses (a) through (c) above is to be settled by delivery of Series A Preferred Units, Common Units or other securities, in cash
or otherwise, or (d) effect any transfer of Series A Preferred Units or Series A Conversion Units in a manner that violates the
terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such Series A Preferred Unitholder may (i) pledge all or any portion of its Series
A Preferred Units to any holders of obligations owed by the Series A Preferred Unitholders, including to the trustee for, or
representative of, such holders, (ii) transfer all or a portion of its Series A Preferred Units at any time when the Common Units
are no longer listed or admitted to trading on a National Securities Exchange and (iii) transfer all or a portion of its Series A
Preferred Units at any time when an event of default has occurred and is continuing under any indebtedness of the Partnership or its
Subsidiaries in an outstanding principal amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least $10,000,000. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any transferee receiving any Series A Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 5.11(c)(xi)(B) shall agree to the
restrictions set forth in this Section 5.11(c)(xi)(B).

 

(C)             
Following the second anniversary of the Initial Series A Issuance Date, each Series A Preferred Unitholder or their permitted transferees
may freely transfer Series A Preferred Units of at least $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount if it (i) constitutes the remaining holdings
of such Series A Preferred Unitholder or (ii) has been approved by the Partnership, in its sole discretion), subject to compliance with
applicable securities laws and this Agreement.

 

(xii)         
Fully Paid and Non-assessable. Any Series A Conversion Unit(s) delivered pursuant to Section 5.11(c)(vii) shall be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be affected by the Marshall Islands Act), free and
clear of any liens, claims, rights or encumbrances other than those arising under the Marshall Islands Act or this Agreement or created
by the holders thereof.

 

    43

    

    

 

(xiii)          Partnership
Restructuring Event. Subject to Section 5.11(c)(viii), if (A) a Partnership Restructuring Event occurs or the Partnership
engages in any other recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, merger, spin-off or other business combination (other than a
Series A Change of Control) and (B) (1) the Partnership will not be the surviving entity of such Partnership Restructuring Event or
other event or (2) the Partnership will be the surviving entity but its Common Units will cease to be listed or admitted to trading
on a National Securities Exchange, the Partnership shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Series A Preferred Unitholders, in
exchange for their Series A Preferred Units upon consummation of such Partnership Restructuring Event or other event, a security in
the surviving entity that has substantially similar rights, preferences and privileges as the Series A Preferred Units, including,
for the avoidance of doubt, the right to distributions equal in amount, timing and priority to those provided in Section
5.11(c)(i) and a conversion rate proportionately adjusted such that the conversion of such security in the surviving entity
immediately following the Partnership Restructuring Event or such other event would entitle the holder to the number of common
securities of such surviving entity (together with a number of common securities of equivalent value to any other assets received by
Common Unitholders in such Partnership Restructuring Event or such other event) which, if a Series A Preferred Unit had been
converted into Common Units immediately prior to such Partnership Restructuring Event or such other event, such Record Holder would
have been entitled to receive immediately following such Partnership Restructuring Event or such other event. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 5.11(c)(xiii), if a Partnership Restructuring Event occurs prior to the second anniversary
of the Initial Series A Issuance Date, the Partnership shall have the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Units, in whole or in
part, for a cash amount equal to 130.0% of the Series A Issue Price, plus accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, on the Series A
Preferred Units redeemed to the applicable Series A Redemption Date.

 

(xiv)        
Notices. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall distribute to the Record Holders of Series A Preferred Units
copies of all notices, materials, annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements, information statements and any other documents distributed
generally to the Record Holders of Common Units of the Partnership, at such times and by such method as such documents are distributed
to such Record Holders of such Common Units.

 

Section
5.12          
Establishment of Class B Units.

 

(a)              
Establishment.  The Board of Directors hereby designates and creates a series of Limited Partner Interests to be designated
as “Class B Units”, consisting of a total of 673,080 Class B Units (of which 84,135 shall be designated Class B-1
Units, 84,135 shall be designated Class B-2 Units, 84,135 shall be designated Class B-3 Units, 84,135 shall be designated Class B-4
Units, 84,135 shall be designated Class B-5 Units, 84,135 shall be designated Class B-6 Units, 84,135 shall be designated Class B-7
Units and 84,135 shall be designated Class B-8 Units), having the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

 

(b)              
Conversion of Class B Units to Common Units.

 

(i)             
At any time, and from time to time, on or after each Class B Unit’s applicable Class B Convertible Date, the holder
of such Class B Unit shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to convert such Class B Unit into a Common Unit on
a one-for-one basis.

 

    44

    

    

 

 

(ii)            
Upon conversion, the rights of a holder of converted Class B Units as holder of Class B Units shall cease with respect
to such converted Class B Units, including any rights under this Agreement with respect to holders of Class B Units, and such
Person shall continue to be a Limited Partner and have the rights of a holder of Common Units under this Agreement.  All Class B
Units shall, upon conversion pursuant to this Section 5.12(b), be deemed to be transferred to, and cancelled by, the
Partnership in exchange for the Common Units into which the Class B Units converted.

 

(iii)           
The Partnership shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery
of Common Units upon conversion of the Class B Units.  However, the holder shall pay any tax or duty which may be payable relating
to any transfer involving the issuance or delivery of Common Units in a name other than the holder’s name. The Transfer Agent may
refuse to deliver a Certificate representing Common Units being issued in a name other than the holder’s name until the Transfer
Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duties which will be due because the Common Units are to be issued in a name other than
the holder’s name.  Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.

 

(iv)          
(A)            All
Common Units delivered upon conversion of the Class B Units shall be newly issued, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable, except as such non-assessability may be affected by the Marshall Islands Act.

 

(B)              The
Partnership shall comply with all applicable securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of any Common Units upon conversion of
Class B Units and, if the Common Units are then listed or admitted to trading on any National Securities Exchange, shall list or
cause to be admitted to trading, as applicable, and keep listed or admitted to trading, as applicable, the Common Units issuable upon
conversion of the Class B Units to the extent permitted or required by the rules of such National Securities Exchange.

 

(c)              
Voting.  The holders of Class B Units shall have all voting rights held by holders of Common Units, and the Class B
Units shall vote on an as-converted basis with the Common Units, together as a single class.

 

(d)              
Other Rights of Class B Units.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the holder of a Class B
Unit shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Unitholder holding a Common Unit hereunder; provided, however,
that immediately upon the conversion of a Class B Unit into a Common Unit pursuant to Section 5.12(b), the Unitholder
holding such Common Unit issued upon conversion of such Class B Unit shall possess all of the rights and obligations of a Unitholder
holding a Common Unit hereunder with respect to such Common Unit issued upon conversion of such Class B Unit, including the right
to participate in distributions made with respect to Common Units pursuant to Article VI. 

 

    45

    

    

 

(e)              
Certificates.

 

(i)              If
requested by a holder of Class B Units, the Class B Units shall be evidenced by certificates in such form as the Board of Directors
may approve and, subject to any applicable legal, regulatory and contractual requirements or any other limitations set forth in this Section
5.12, may be assigned or transferred in a manner identical to the assignment and transfer of other Units. Any certificates
evidencing Class B Units shall be separately identified and shall not bear the same CUSIP number as any certificates evidencing
Common Units.

 

(ii)            
Any certificate(s) representing the Class B Units may be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

“NEITHER THE OFFER NOR SALE OF
THESE SECURITIES HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE,
PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT
TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER AND, IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE
144 UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE PARTNERSHIP HAS RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE
REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT. THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THE FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT OF THE PARTNERSHIP, DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER [●], 2021, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE PARTNERSHIP
AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES.”

MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF BUSINESS

 

Section
7.1           
Management.

 

(a)              
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership
shall be vested exclusively in the Board of Directors and, subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7.8, the Officers. No Limited Partner shall have any management power or control over the business and affairs
of the Partnership. Thus, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the business and affairs of the Partnership shall be managed
by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, and the day-to-day activities of the Partnership shall be conducted on the
Partnership’s behalf by the Officers. In order to enable the Board of Directors to manage the business and affairs of the Partnership,
the General Partner, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, hereby irrevocably delegates to the Board of Directors
all management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership that it may now or hereafter possess under applicable law. The
General Partner further agrees to take any and all action necessary and appropriate, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors,
to effect any duly authorized actions by the Board of Directors, including executing or filing any agreements, instruments or certificates,
delivering all documents, providing all information and taking or refraining from taking action as may be necessary or appropriate to
achieve the effective delegation of power described in this Section 7.1(a). Each of the Partners and each Person who may acquire
an interest in a Partnership Interest hereby approves, consents to, ratifies and confirms such delegation. The delegation by the General
Partner to the Board of Directors of management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement shall not cause the General Partner to cease to be a general partner of the Partnership nor shall it cause the Board of
Directors or any member thereof to be a general partner of the Partnership or to have or be subject to the liabilities of a general partner
of the Partnership.

 

(b)               Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, the Marshall Islands Act or any applicable law, rule or
regulation, each of the Partners and each other Person who may acquire an interest in Partnership Interests hereby (i) approves,
consents to, ratifies and confirms the General Partner’s delegation of management powers to the Board of Directors pursuant to paragraph
(a) of this Section 7.1; (ii) approves, ratifies and confirms the execution, delivery and performance by the parties
thereto of this Agreement, the Underwriting Agreement, the Omnibus Agreement, the Contribution Agreement, any Group Member Agreement
of any other Group Member and the other agreements described in or filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that are related
to the transactions contemplated by the Registration Statement; (iii) agrees that the General Partner (on behalf of the Partnership)
is authorized to execute, deliver and perform the agreements referred to in clause (ii) of this sentence and the other
agreements, acts, transactions and matters described in or contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement or described in or filed as
exhibits to the Registration Statement, in each case, on behalf of the Partnership without any further act, approval or vote of the
Partners or the other Persons who may acquire an interest in Partnership Interests; and (iv) agrees that the execution, delivery or
performance by the Board of Directors, the General Partner, any Group Member or any Affiliate of any of them of this Agreement or
any agreement authorized or permitted under this Agreement (including the exercise by the General Partner or any Affiliate of the
General Partner of the rights accorded pursuant to Article XV) shall not constitute a breach by the Board of Directors or the
General Partner of any duty that the Board of Directors or the General Partner may owe the Partnership or the Limited Partners or
any other Persons under this Agreement (or any other agreements) or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity.

 

    48

    

    

 

Section
7.2           
The Board of Directors; Election and Appointment; Term; Manner of Acting.

 

(a)              
The Board of Directors shall consist of seven individuals, three of whom shall be Appointed Directors and four of whom shall be
Elected Directors. The Elected Directors shall be divided into four classes: Class I, comprising one Elected Director, Class II, comprising
one Elected Director, Class III, comprising one Elected Director and Class IV, comprising one Elected Director. Any vacancy among the
Appointed Directors shall be filled as if an Appointed Director had resigned, in accordance with Section 7.6. The successors of
the members of the Board of Directors shall be appointed or elected, as the case may be, as follows:

 

(i)             
Subject to Section 5.11(c)(iv)(D), each Appointed Director shall be appointed by the General Partner and shall hold office
until his successor is duly appointed by the General Partner and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal; and

 

(ii)           
The Class IV Elected Director shall next be elected at the 2021 Annual Meeting for a four-year term expiring on the date of the
fourth succeeding Annual Meeting, the Class I Elected Director shall be elected at the 2022 Annual Meeting for a four-year term expiring
on the fourth succeeding Annual Meeting, the Class II Elected Director shall be elected at the 2023 Annual Meeting for a four-year term
expiring on the fourth succeeding Annual Meeting and the Class III Director shall be elected at the 2024 Annual Meeting for a four-year
term expiring on the fourth succeeding Annual Meeting, in each case by a plurality of the votes of the Outstanding Common Units and Outstanding
Class B Units present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting with each Outstanding Common Unit or Outstanding Class B
Unit having one vote.

 

(b)              
Each member of the Board of Directors appointed or elected, as the case may be, at an Annual Meeting shall hold office until the
fourth succeeding Annual Meeting and until his successor is duly elected or appointed, as the case may be, and qualified, or until his
earlier death, resignation or removal.

 

(c)

other matters as may be delegated to it from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, by a
majority of the whole Board of Directors, may appoint one or more additional committees of the Board of Directors to consist of one
or more members of the Board of Directors, which committee(s) shall have and may exercise such of the powers and authority of the
Board of Directors (including in respect of Section 7.1) with respect to the management of the business and affairs of the
Partnership as may be provided in a resolution of the Board of Directors. Any committee designated pursuant to this Section
7.7(b) shall choose its own chairman, shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same to the Board of
Directors when requested, shall fix its own rules or procedures and shall meet at such times and at such place or places as may be
provided by such rules or by resolution of such committee or resolution of the Board of Directors. At every meeting of any such
committee, the presence of a majority of all the members thereof shall constitute a quorum and the affirmative vote of a majority of
the members present shall be necessary for the taking of any action. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of a
committee of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents
in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all the members of the committee of the Board of Directors. Subject to
the first sentence of this Section 7.7(b), the Board of Directors may designate one or more members of the Board of Directors

of the Board of Directors and shall, in the absence of the Chairman of the Board of Directors at a meeting of the Board of Directors,
designate another member of the Board of Directors to preside at the meeting.

The General Partner shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the Board of Directors may determine, for any
direct and indirect expenses it incurs that are allocable to the Partnership Group or payments it makes on behalf of the Partnership Group

(c)              
Subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are listed, the Board
of Directors, without the approval of the Partners (who shall have no right to vote in respect thereof), may propose and adopt on behalf
of the Partnership employee benefit plans, employee programs and employee practices (including plans, programs and practices involving
the issuance of Partnership Interests or options to purchase or rights, warrants or appreciation rights or phantom or tracking interests
relating to Partnership Interests), or cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Interests in connection with, or pursuant to, any employee
benefit plan, employee program or employee practice maintained or sponsored by the Partnership, the General Partner or any of its Affiliates,
in each case for the benefit of employees and directors of the Partnership, the General Partner, any Group Member or any Affiliate thereof,
or any of them, in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership Group. The Partnership agrees

which the Partnership is, directly or indirectly, a partner or member and to undertake activities that are ancillary or related
thereto (including being a limited partner in the Partnership), (ii) shall not engage in any business or activity or incur any debts

Except as specifically restricted by Section 7.13(a) or the Omnibus Agreement, each Indemnitee (other than the General Partner)

an interest in other business ventures of any and every type or description, whether in businesses engaged in or anticipated to be engaged
in by any Group Member, independently or with others, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the business
and activities of any Group Member, and none of the same shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or any duty expressed or implied
by law to any Group Member or any Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the possessing of competitive
interests and engaging in competitive activities by any Indemnitees (other than the General Partner) in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 7.13 is hereby approved by the Partnership and all Partners and (ii) it shall be deemed not to be a breach of any
duty (including any fiduciary duty) or any other obligation of any type whatsoever of the General Partner or of any Indemnitee for the
Indemnitees (other than the General Partner) to engage in such business interests and activities in preference to or to the exclusion
of the Partnership.

 

(d)              
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall
not apply to an Indemnitee (including the General Partner) and, subject to the terms of Sections 7.13(a), 7.13(b), 7.13(c)
and the Omnibus Agreement, no Indemnitee (including the General Partner) who acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement,
arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Partnership shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity
to the Partnership, and, subject to the terms of Sections 7.13(a), 7.13(b), 7.13(c) and the Omnibus Agreement, such
Indemnitee (including the General Partner) shall not be liable to the Partnership, to any Limited Partner or any other Person for breach
of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee (including the General Partner) pursues or acquires such opportunity
for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Partnership; provided,
that such Indemnitee (including the General Partner) does not engage in such business or activity as a result of using confidential or
proprietary information provided by or on behalf of the Partnership to such Indemnitee (including the General Partner).

 

(e)              
 The General Partner and each of its Affiliates may own and acquire Units or other Partnership Interests in addition to those acquired

Section 7.14       
Loans from the General Partner; Loans or Contributions from the Partnership or Group Members.

 

(a)              
The General Partner or any of its Affiliates may lend to any Group Member, and any Group Member may borrow from the General Partner
or any of its Affiliates, funds needed or desired by the Group Member for such periods of time and in such amounts as the General Partner
and the Board of Directors may determine; provided, however, that in any such case the lending party may not charge the borrowing
party interest at a rate greater than the rate that would be charged the borrowing party or impose terms less favorable to the borrowing
party than would be charged or imposed on the borrowing party by unrelated lenders on comparable loans made on an arms’ length basis
(without reference to the lending party’s financial abilities or guarantees), all as determined by the General Partner and the Board
of Directors. The borrowing party shall reimburse the lending party for any costs (other than any additional interest costs) incurred
by the lending party in connection with the borrowing of such funds. For purposes of this Section 7.14(a) and Section 7.14(b),
the term “Group Member” shall include any Affiliate of a Group Member that is controlled by the Group Member.

 

(b)              
The Partnership may lend or contribute to any Group Member, and any Group Member may borrow from the Partnership, funds on terms
and conditions determined by the Board of Directors. No Group Member may lend funds to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates (other
than another Group Member).

 

(c)              
No borrowing by any Group Member or the approval thereof by the General Partner or the Board of Directors shall be deemed to constitute
a breach of any duty, expressed or implied, of the General Partner or its Affiliates or the Board of Directors to the Partnership or the
Limited Partners if the purpose or effect of such borrowing is directly or indirectly to enable distributions to the General Partner or
its Affiliates (including in their capacities as Limited Partners) to exceed the General Partner’s Percentage Interest of the total
amount distributed to all partners.

 

Section 7.15       
Indemnification.

 

(a)               To
the fullest extent permitted by the Marshall Islands Act but subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, all
Indemnitees shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or
other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its
status as an Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been
a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for
which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.15, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged
in fraud or willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was
unlawful; and, provided, further, that no indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.15 shall be available to the
General Partner or its Affiliates (other than a Group Member) with respect to its or their obligations incurred pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement, the Omnibus Agreement or the Contribution Agreement (other than obligations incurred by the General Partner
on behalf of the Partnership). Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.15 shall be made only out of the assets of the
Partnership, it being agreed that the General Partner shall not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no
obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Partnership to enable it to effectuate such indemnification.

 

    56 

     

    

 

(b)              
To the fullest extent permitted by the Marshall Islands Act, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee
who is indemnified pursuant to Section 7.15(a) in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time,
be advanced by the Partnership prior to a determination that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the Partnership
of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled
to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 7.15.

 

(c)              
The indemnification provided by this Section 7.15 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be
entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the holders of Outstanding Limited Partner Interests, as a matter of law or otherwise,
both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity (including any capacity
under the Underwriting Agreement), and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.

 

(d)              
The Partnership may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the General Partner or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf
of the Board of Directors and the General Partner, its Affiliates and such other Persons as the Board of Directors shall determine, against
any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the Partnership’s
activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Partnership, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power
to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement or law.

 

(e)              
For purposes of this Section 7.15, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary
of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by the Indemnitee of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise
involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect
to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 7.15(a);
and action taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to any employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose
reasonably believed by it to be in the best interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose
that is in the best interests of the Partnership.

 

(f)               
In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set
forth in this Agreement.

 

    57 

     

    

 

(g)              
 An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.15 because the Indemnitee had
an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms
of this Agreement.

 

(h)              
The provisions of this Section 7.15 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators
and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

 

(i)                
No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.15 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce
or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Partnership, nor the obligations of the Partnership
to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.15 as in effect immediately prior
to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior
to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

 

Section 7.16       
Liability of Indemnitees.

 

(a)              
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the
Partnership, the Limited Partners or any other Persons who have acquired Partnership Interests or are otherwise bound by this Agreement,
for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee unless there has been a final and non-appealable
judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter in question, the Indemnitee acted in
bad faith or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s
conduct was criminal.

 

(b)              
Subject to their obligations and duties as members of the Board of Directors or as the General Partner, respectively, set forth
in Section 7.1(a), members of the Board of Directors and the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to them and
perform any of the duties imposed upon them hereunder either directly or by or through its agents, and the members of the Board of Directors
and the General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the Board
of Directors or the General Partner in good faith.

 

(c)              
To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnitee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto
to the Partnership or to the Partners, the General Partner and any other Indemnitee acting in connection with the Partnership’s
business or affairs shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(d)              
Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.16 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not
in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the Indemnitees under this Section 7.16 as in effect immediately prior to
such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior
to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section
7.17        Resolution
of Conflicts of Interest; Standards of Conduct and Modification of Duties.

 

(a)              
Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Group Member Agreement, whenever a potential conflict of interest
exists or arises between the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, or any member of the Board of Directors, on the one hand, and the
Partnership, any Group Member or any Partner, on the other, any resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest
shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Partners, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any Group Member Agreement,
of any agreement contemplated herein or therein, or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity, if the resolution or course of action
in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved by Special Approval, (ii) approved by the vote of a majority of the Outstanding
Common Units (excluding Common Units owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates), (iii) on terms no less favorable to the Partnership
than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iv) fair and reasonable to the Partnership, taking
into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable
or advantageous to the Partnership). The General Partner and the Board of Directors may but shall not be required in connection with the
resolution of such conflict of interest to seek Special Approval of such resolution, and the General Partner or the Board of Directors,
as the case may be, may also adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval. If Special Approval is sought,
then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or law that would otherwise apply, (x) the Conflicts Committee will be authorized
in connection with its determination of whether to provide Special Approval to consider any and all factors as it determines to be relevant
or appropriate under the circumstances and (y) it will be presumed that, in making its decision, the Conflicts Committee acted in good
faith, and if Special Approval is not sought and the Board of Directors determines that the resolution or course of action taken with
respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (iii) or (iv) above, then it shall
be presumed that, in making its decision the Board of Directors, acted in good faith, and, in either case, in any proceeding brought by
any Limited Partner or by or on behalf of such Limited Partner or any other Limited Partner or the Partnership challenging such approval,
the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or equity, the existence of the conflicts of interest described in the
Registration Statement are hereby approved by all Partners and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or of any duty hereunder
or existing at law, in equity or otherwise.

 

(b)               Whenever
the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do
so, in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership as opposed to in its individual capacity, whether under this
Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then, unless another express standard
is provided for in this Agreement, the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall make such determination or
take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this
Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Marshall Islands Act or any other law,
rule or regulation or at equity. In order for a determination or other action to be in “good faith” for purposes of this
Agreement, the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action must reasonably believe
that the determination or other action is in the best interests of the Partnership, unless the context otherwise requires.

 

    59 

     

    

 

(c)              
Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes
it to do so, in its individual capacity as opposed to in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, whether under this Agreement,
any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing
it to do so, are entitled to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any duty (including any fiduciary
duty) or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, any Record Holder or any other Person bound by this Agreement,
and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall not be required to act
in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated
hereby or under the Marshall Islands Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. By way of illustration and not of limitation,
whenever the phrase, “at the option of the General Partner,” or some variation of that phrase, is used in this Agreement,
it indicates that the General Partner is acting in its individual capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, whenever the General Partner votes
or transfers its Units or General Partner Interest, if any, to the extent permitted under this Agreement, or refrains from voting or transferring
its Units or General Partner Units, as appropriate, it shall be acting in its individual capacity. The General Partner’s organizational
documents may provide that determinations to take or decline to take any action in its individual, rather than representative, capacity
may or shall be determined by its members, if the General Partner is a limited liability company, stockholders, if the General Partner
is a corporation, or the members or stockholders of the General Partner’s general partner, if the General Partner is a limited partnership.

 

(d)              
Whenever the Board of Directors makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, whether under this Agreement,
any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then, unless another express standard is provided
for in this Agreement, the Board of Directors, shall make such determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith
and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement
contemplated hereby or under the Marshall Islands Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. In order for a determination
or other action to be in “good faith” for purposes of this Agreement, the Person or Persons making such determination or taking
or declining to take such other action must reasonably believe that the determination or other action is in the best interests of the
Partnership, unless the context otherwise requires.

 

(e)              
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall have no duty or obligation,
express or implied, to (i) approve the sale or other disposition of any asset of the Partnership Group (if such approval is required pursuant
to Section 7.11(b)) or (ii) permit any Group Member to use any facilities or assets of the General Partner and its Affiliates,
except as may be provided in contracts entered into from time to time specifically dealing with such use. Any determination by the General
Partner or any of its Affiliates to enter into such contracts shall, in each case, be at their option.

 

    60 

     

    

 

(f)               
 Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor the Board of Directors or any other Indemnitee
shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Partnership or any Limited Partner and the provisions of this
Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of
the Board of Directors or the General Partner or any other Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners
to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Board of Directors or the General Partner or such other Indemnitee. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, but subject to Section 7.17(c) and without reference to the definition of “good faith” in
Section 7.17(b), to the fullest extent permitted by the Marshall Islands Act, neither the General Partner, the Board of Directors
nor any other Indemnitee shall owe any fiduciary duties to Series A Preferred Unitholders other than a contractual duty of good faith
and fair dealing.

 

(g)              
The Unitholders hereby authorize the Board of Directors, on behalf of the Partnership as a partner or member of a Group Member,
to approve of actions by the general partner or managing member of such Group Member similar to those actions permitted to be taken by
the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 7.17.

 

Section 7.18       
Other Matters Concerning the General Partner and the Board of Directors.

 

(a)              
The General Partner and the Board of Directors may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

 

(b)              
The General Partner and the Board of Directors may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants,
investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by either of them, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance
upon the advice or opinion (including an Opinion of Counsel) of such Persons as to matters that the General Partner or the Board of Directors
reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done
or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion.

 

(c)              
The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly
authorized officers, a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact or the duly authorized officers of the Partnership.

 

Section 7.19       
Purchase or Sale of Partnership Interests. The Board of Directors may cause the Partnership to purchase or otherwise
acquire Partnership Interests. As long as Partnership Interests are held by any Group Member, such Partnership Interests shall not be
considered Outstanding for any purpose, except as otherwise provided herein. The General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner
may purchase or otherwise acquire and sell or otherwise dispose of Partnership Interests for its own account, subject to the provisions
of Articles IV and X.

 

    61 

     

    

 

Section 7.20       
Registration Rights of the General Partner and its Affiliates.

 

(a)               If
(i) the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner (including for purposes of this Section 7.20, any Person that
is an Affiliate of the General Partner at the date hereof notwithstanding that it may later cease to be an Affiliate of the General
Partner) holds Partnership Interests that it desires to sell and (ii) Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any successor rule or
regulation to Rule 144) or another exemption from registration is not available to enable such holder of Partnership Interests (the
 “Holder”) to dispose of the number of Partnership Interests it desires to sell at the time it desires to
do so without registration under the Securities Act, then at the option and upon the request of the Holder, the Partnership shall
file with the Commission as promptly as practicable after receiving such request, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause to become effective and remain effective for a period of not less than six months following its effective date or such shorter
period as shall terminate when all Partnership Interests covered by such registration statement have been sold, a registration
statement under the Securities Act registering the offering and sale of the number of Partnership Interests specified by the Holder; provided,
however, that the Partnership shall not be required to effect more than three registrations in total pursuant to this Section
7.20(a), no more than one of which shall be required to be made at any time that the Partnership is not eligible to use Form
F-3 (or a comparable form) for the registration under the Securities Act of its securities; and, provided, further, that
if the Conflicts Committee determines in good faith that the requested registration would be materially detrimental to the
Partnership and its Partners because such registration would (x) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, merger,
disposition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Partnership, (y) require premature disclosure of
material information that the Partnership has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (z) render the
Partnership unable to comply with requirements under applicable securities laws, then the Partnership shall have the right to
postpone such requested registration for a period of not more than six months after receipt of the Holder’s request, such
right pursuant to this Section 7.20(a) not to be utilized more than once in any 12-month period. The Partnership shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any deferral with respect to any such registration and/or filing. Except as
provided in the first sentence of this Section 7.20(a), the Partnership shall be deemed not to have used all its commercially
reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective during the applicable period if it voluntarily takes any action that
would result in Holders of Partnership Interests covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Partnership Interests at any
time during such period, unless such action is required by applicable law or regulations. In connection with any registration
pursuant to this Section 7.20(a), the Partnership shall (i) promptly prepare and file (A) such documents as may be necessary
to register or qualify the securities subject to such registration under the securities laws of such states as the Holder shall
reasonably request (provided, however, that no such qualification shall be required in any jurisdiction where, as a result
thereof, the Partnership would become subject to general service of process or to taxation or qualification to do business as a
foreign corporation or partnership doing business in such jurisdiction solely as a result of such registration), and (B) such
documents as may be necessary to apply for listing or to list the Partnership Interests subject to such registration on such
National Securities Exchange as the Holder shall reasonably request, and (ii) do any and all other acts and things that may be
necessary or appropriate to enable the Holder to consummate a public sale of such Partnership Interests in such states. Except as
set forth in Section 7.20(c), all costs and expenses of any such registration and offering (other than the underwriting
discounts and commissions) shall be paid by the Partnership, without reimbursement by the Holder.

 

(b)               If
the Partnership shall at any time propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act for an offering of equity
interests of the Partnership for cash (other than an offering relating solely to an employee benefit plan), the Partnership shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to include such number or amount of Partnership Interests held by any Holder in such
registration statement as the Holder shall request; provided, however, that the Partnership is not required to make any
effort or take any action to so include the Partnership Interests of the Holder once the registration statement becomes or is
declared effective by the Commission, including any registration statement providing for the offering from time to time of
Partnership Interests pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act. If the proposed offering pursuant to this Section 7.20(b)
shall be an underwritten offering, then, in the event that the managing underwriter or managing underwriters of such offering advise
the Partnership and the Holder in writing that in their opinion the inclusion of all or some of the Holder’s Partnership
Interests would adversely and materially affect the success of the offering, the Partnership shall include in such offering only
that number or amount, if any, of Partnership Interests held by the Holder that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or
managing underwriters, will not so adversely and materially affect the offering. Except as set forth in Section 7.20(c), all
costs and expenses of any such registration and offering (other than the underwriting discounts and commissions) shall be paid by
the Partnership, without reimbursement by the Holder.

 

    62 

     

    

 

(c)              
If underwriters are engaged in connection with any registration referred to in this Section 7.20, the Partnership shall
provide indemnification, representations, covenants, opinions and other assurance to the underwriters in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to such underwriters. Further, in addition to and not in limitation of the Partnership’s obligation under Section
7.15, the Partnership shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, its officers, directors
and each Person who controls the Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any agent thereof (collectively, “Indemnified
Persons”) from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, assessments, damages, liabilities
(joint or several), costs and expenses (including interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), resulting
to, imposed upon, or incurred by the Indemnified Persons, directly or indirectly, under the Securities Act or otherwise (hereinafter referred
to in this Section 7.20(c) as a “claim” and in the plural as “claims”) based
upon, arising out of or resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration
statement under which any Partnership Interests were registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or Blue Sky laws, in
any preliminary prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act (if used prior to the effective
date of such registration statement), or in any summary, free writing or final prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (if
used during the period the Partnership is required to keep the registration statement current), or arising out of, based upon or resulting
from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
made therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person to the extent
that any such claim arises out of, is based upon or results from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in such registration statement, such preliminary, summary, free writing or final prospectus or such amendment or supplement,
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person specifically
for use in the preparation thereof.

 

(d)               The
provisions of Sections 7.20(a) and 7.20(b) shall continue to be applicable with respect to the General Partner (and
any of the General Partner’s Affiliates) after it ceases to be a general partner of the Partnership, during a period of two
years subsequent to the effective date of such cessation and for so long thereafter as is required for the Holder to sell all of the
Partnership Interests with respect to which it has requested during such two-year period inclusion in a registration statement
otherwise filed or that a registration statement be filed; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be required to
file successive registration statements covering the same Partnership Interests for which registration was demanded during such
two-year period. The provisions of Section 7.20(c) shall continue in effect thereafter.

 

    63 

     

    

 

(e)              
The rights to cause the Partnership to register Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section 7.20 may be assigned (but
only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of such Partnership Interests, provided (i) the Partnership
is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee
and the Partnership Interests with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned, and (ii) such transferee or assignee
agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms set forth in this Section 7.20.

 

(f)               
Any request to register Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section 7.20 shall (i) specify the Partnership Interests
intended to be offered and sold by the Person making the request, (ii) express such Person’s present intent to offer such Partnership
Interests for distribution, (iii) describe the nature or method of the proposed offer and sale of Partnership Interests, and (iv) contain
the undertaking of such Person to provide all such information and materials and take all action as may be required in order to permit
the Partnership to comply with all applicable requirements in connection with the registration of such Partnership Interests.

 

Section 7.21       
Reliance by Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the
Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the Board of Directors, the General Partner and any Officer authorized by the Board of Directors
to act on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner
any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any authorized contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall
be entitled to deal with the Board of Directors, the General Partner or any such Officer as if it were the Partnership’s sole party
in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available
against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the Board of Directors, the General Partner or any such Officer in
connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the Board of Directors, the General Partner or any such Officer
or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity
or expedience of any act or action of the Board of Directors, the General Partner or any such Officer or its representatives. Each and
every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership by the Board of Directors, the General Partner,
the Officers or representatives of the General Partner authorized by the General Partner or the Board of Directors shall be conclusive
evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (a) at the time of the execution and delivery of
such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (b) the Person executing and delivering such certificate,
document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership and (c) such certificate, document
or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership.

BOOKS, RECORDS, ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS

 

Section 8.1           
Records and Accounting. The Partnership shall keep or cause to be kept at the principal office of the Partnership appropriate
books and records with respect to the Partnership’s business, including all books and records necessary to provide to the Limited

of the Partnership in the regular course of its business, including the record of the Record Holders of Units or other Partnership Interests,
books of account and records of Partnership proceedings, may be kept on, or be in the form of, computer disks, hard drives, punch cards,
magnetic tape, photographs, micrographics or any other information storage device; provided, however, that the books and records so maintained
are convertible into clearly legible written form within a reasonable period of time. The books of the Partnership shall be maintained,
for financial reporting purposes, on an accrual basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Partnership shall not be required to keep books
on a cash basis and the Board of Directors shall be permitted to calculate cash-based measures, by making such adjustments to its accrual
basis books to account for non-cash items and other adjustments as the Board of Directors determines to be necessary or appropriate.

containing financial statements of the Partnership for such fiscal year of the Partnership, presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including
a balance sheet and statements of operations, Partnership equity and cash flows, such statements to be audited by a firm of independent
public accountants selected by the Board of Directors.

 

(b)              
As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 90 days after the close of each Quarter except the last Quarter of each fiscal
year, the Partnership shall cause to be mailed or made available, by any reasonable means (including posting on or accessible through
the Partnership’s or the Commission’s website), to each Record Holder of a Unit, as of a date selected by the Board of Directors,
a report containing unaudited financial statements of the Partnership and such other information as may be required by applicable law,
regulation or rule of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed or admitted to trading, or as the Board of Directors
determines to be necessary or appropriate.

Tax Elections and Information.

 

(a)              
The Partnership is authorized and has elected to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board of Directors shall determine whether the Partnership should make any other
elections permitted by any applicable tax law.

 

(b)              
The tax information reasonably required by Record Holders for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes with respect to a calendar

any action that may be required or advisable to cause the Partnership and other Group Members to comply with any withholding requirements
with respect to any tax established under any U.S. federal, state or local or any non-U.S. law. To the extent that the Partnership
is required or elects to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount with respect to a distribution or payment to or for
the benefit of any Partner, the Board of Directors may treat the amount withheld as a distribution of cash to such Partner in the amount
of such withholding from such Partner.

 

Section 9.3           
Conduct of Operations. The Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the business of
the Partnership and its Affiliates in a manner that does not require a holder of Common Units, Class B Units or Series A Preferred Units

acceptance of the transfer of any Limited Partner Interests in accordance with Article IV or the acceptance of any Limited
Partner Interests issued pursuant to Article V or pursuant to a merger, consolidation or conversion pursuant to Article
XIV, each transferee of, or other such Person acquiring, a Limited Partner Interest (including any nominee holder or an agent or
representative acquiring such Limited Partner Interests for the account of another Person) (i) shall be admitted to the Partnership
as a Limited Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interests so transferred or issued to such Person when any such transfer,

the Limited Partner Interests so transferred, (ii) shall become bound, and shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound, by the terms
of this Agreement, (iii) represents that the transferee or other recipient has the capacity, power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and (iv) makes the consents, acknowledgements and waivers contained in this Agreement, all with or without execution of
this Agreement by such Person. The transfer of any Limited Partner Interests and the admission of any new Limited Partner shall not
constitute an amendment to this Agreement. A Person may become a Limited Partner or Record Holder of a Limited Partner Interest
without the consent or approval of any of the Partners. A Person may not become a Limited Partner until such Person acquires a
Limited Partner Interest and until such Person is reflected in the books and records of the Partnership as the Record Holder of such
Limited Partner Interest.

such purpose by the Partnership or the Transfer Agent. The General Partner shall update the books and records of the Partnership from
time to time as necessary to reflect accurately the information therein (or shall cause the Transfer Agent to do so, as applicable). A
Limited Partner Interest may be represented by a Certificate, as provided in Section 4.1.

 

(c)              
Any transfer of a Limited Partner Interest shall not entitle the transferee to receive distributions or to any other rights to
which the transferor was entitled until the transferee becomes a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 10.2(a).

 

Section 10.3       
Admission of Successor General Partner. A successor General Partner approved pursuant to Sections 11.1 or 11.2
or the transferee of or successor to all or part of the General Partner Interest (represented by General Partner Units) pursuant
to Section 4.6 who is proposed to be admitted as a successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General
Partner, effective immediately prior to the withdrawal or removal of the predecessor or transferring General Partner, pursuant to Sections
11.1 or 11.2 or the transfer of the General Partner Interest (represented by General Partner Units) pursuant to Section
4.6; provided, however, that no such Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as a successor or additional General Partner until
compliance with the terms of Section 4.6 has occurred and such Person has executed and delivered such other documents or instruments
as may be required to effect such admission. Any such successor or additional General Partner is hereby authorized to and shall, subject
to the terms hereof, carry on the business of the members of the Partnership Group without dissolution.

 

Section 10.4       
Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership. To effect the admission to the Partnership of any Partner,
the Board of Directors shall take all steps necessary or appropriate under the Marshall Islands Act to amend the records of the Partnership

the Board of Directors shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership.

(each such event herein referred to as an “Event of Withdrawal”):

 

(i)                
The General Partner voluntarily withdraws from the Partnership by giving written notice to the other Partners;

without a reinstatement of its charter; (B) in the event the General Partner is a partnership or a limited liability company, the dissolution

the withdrawing General Partner shall give notice to the Limited Partners within 30 days after such occurrence. The Partners hereby agree
that only the Events of Withdrawal described in this Section 11.1 shall result in the withdrawal of the General Partner from the
Partnership.

 

    68 

     

    

 

(b)              
 Withdrawal of the General Partner from the Partnership upon the occurrence of an Event of Withdrawal shall not constitute a breach
of this Agreement under the following circumstances:

 

(i)                
at any time prior to 12:00 midnight, prevailing Eastern Time, on March 31, 2023, the General Partner voluntarily withdraws by giving
at least 90 days’ advance notice of its intention to withdraw to the Limited Partners, such withdrawal to take effect on the date
specified in the notice; provided, however, that prior to the effective date of such withdrawal, the withdrawal is approved by
Unitholders holding at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units and Outstanding Class B Units (excluding Common Units and Class
B Units held by the General Partner and its Affiliates) and the General Partner delivers to the Partnership an Opinion of Counsel (“Withdrawal
Opinion of Counsel”) that such withdrawal (following the selection of the successor General Partner) would not result in
the loss of the limited liability of any Limited Partner or any Group Member;

 

(ii)             
at any time after 12:00 midnight, prevailing Eastern Time, on March 31, 2023, the General Partner voluntarily withdraws by giving
at least 90 days’ advance notice to the Unitholders, such withdrawal to take effect on the date specified in such notice (provided,
that, prior to the effective date of such withdrawal, the General Partner delivers to the Partnership a Withdrawal Opinion of Counsel);

 

(iii)           
at any time that the General Partner ceases to be the General Partner pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii) or is removed pursuant
to Section 11.2; or

 

(iv)            
notwithstanding clause (i) of this Section 11.1(b), at any time that the General Partner voluntarily withdraws by
giving at least 90 days’ advance notice of its intention to withdraw to the Limited Partners, such withdrawal to take effect on
the date specified in the notice, if at the time such notice is given one Person and its Affiliates (other than the General Partner and
its Affiliates) own beneficially or of record or control at least 50% of the Outstanding Units. The withdrawal of the General Partner
from the Partnership upon the occurrence of an Event of Withdrawal shall also constitute the withdrawal of the General Partner as general
partner or managing member, if any, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members. If the General Partner gives a notice of withdrawal
pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), the holders of a Unit Majority, may, prior to the effective date of such withdrawal, elect a successor
General Partner. The Person so elected as successor General Partner shall automatically become the successor general partner or managing
member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. If,
prior to the effective date of the General Partner’s withdrawal, a successor is not selected by the Unitholders as provided herein
or, if applicable, the Partnership does not receive a Withdrawal Opinion of Counsel, the Partnership shall be dissolved in accordance
with Section 12.1. Any successor General Partner elected in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.1 shall be subject
to the provisions of Section 10.3.

 

Section 11.2       
Removal of the General Partner. The General Partner may be removed if such removal is approved by the Unitholders holding
at least 662⁄3% of the Outstanding Units (including Units held by the General Partner and its Affiliates), voting as a single class.
Any such action by such holders or the Board of Directors for removal of the General Partner must also provide for the election of a
successor General Partner by the majority vote of the outstanding Common Units and Class B Units, voting together as a single class.
Such removal shall be effective immediately following the admission of a successor General Partner pursuant to Section 10.3. The
removal of the General Partner shall also automatically constitute the removal of the General Partner as general partner or managing
member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member.
If a Person is elected as a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2, such Person shall, upon
admission pursuant to Section 10.3, automatically become a successor general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable,
of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. The right of the holders of Outstanding
Units to remove the General Partner shall not exist or be exercised unless the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel opining
as to the matters covered by a Withdrawal Opinion of Counsel. Any successor General Partner elected in accordance with the terms of this
Section 11.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.3.

 

    69 

     

    

 

Section 11.3       
Interest of Departing General Partner and Successor General Partner.

 

(a)              
In the event of (i) withdrawal of the General Partner under circumstances where such withdrawal does not violate this Agreement
or (ii) removal of the General Partner by the holders of Outstanding Units under circumstances where Cause does not exist, if the successor
General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Sections 11.1 or 11.2, the Departing General Partner shall have
the option, exercisable prior to the effective date of the departure of such Departing General Partner, to require its successor to purchase
its General Partner Interest (represented by General Partner Units) its general partner interest (or equivalent interest), if any, in
the other Group Members (collectively, the “Combined Interest”) in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the
fair market value of such Combined Interest, such amount to be determined and payable as of the effective date of its departure. If the
General Partner is removed by the Unitholders under circumstances where Cause exists or if the General Partner withdraws under circumstances
where such withdrawal violates this Agreement, and if a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Sections
11.1 or 11.2 (or if the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2 and the successor General
Partner is not the former General Partner), such successor shall have the option, exercisable prior to the effective date of the departure
of such Departing General Partner (or, in the event the business of the Partnership is continued, prior to the date the business of the
Partnership is continued), to purchase the Combined Interest in exchange for an amount in cash equal to such fair market value of such
Combined Interest of the Departing General Partner. In either event, the Departing General Partner shall be entitled to receive all reimbursements
due such Departing General Partner pursuant to Section 7.12, including any employee related liabilities (including severance liabilities),
incurred in connection with the termination of any employees employed by the Departing General Partner or its Affiliates (other than any
Group Member) for the benefit of the Partnership or the other Group Members.

 

    70 

     

    

 

 

For purposes of this Section
11.3(a), the fair market value of the Departing General Partner’s Combined Interest shall be determined by agreement
between the Departing General Partner and its successor or, failing agreement within 30 days after the effective date of such
Departing General Partner’s departure, by an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert selected by the
Departing General Partner and its successor, which, in turn, may rely on other experts, and the determination of which shall be
conclusive as to such matter. If such parties cannot agree upon one independent investment banking firm or other independent expert
within 45 days after the effective date of such departure, then the Departing General Partner shall designate an independent
investment banking firm or other independent expert, the Departing General Partner’s successor shall designate an independent
investment banking firm or other independent expert, and such firms or experts shall mutually select a third independent investment
banking firm or independent expert, which third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert shall determine the
fair market value of the Combined Interest of the Departing General Partner. In making its determination, such third independent
investment banking firm or other independent expert may consider the then current trading price of Units on any National Securities
Exchange on which Units are then listed or admitted to trading, the value of the Partnership’s assets, the rights and
obligations of the Departing General Partner and other factors it may deem relevant.

 

(b)              
If the Combined Interest is not purchased in the manner set forth in Section 11.3(a), the Departing General Partner (or
its transferee) shall become a Limited Partner and its Combined Interest shall be converted into Common Units pursuant to a valuation
made by an investment banking firm or other independent expert selected pursuant to Section 11.3(a), without reduction in such
Partnership Interest (but subject to proportionate dilution by reason of the admission of its successor). Any successor General Partner
shall indemnify the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) as to all debts and liabilities of the Partnership arising on or after
the date on which the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) becomes a Limited Partner. For purposes of this Agreement, conversion
of the Combined Interest of the Departing General Partner to Common Units will be characterized as if the Departing General Partner (or
its transferee) contributed its Combined Interest to the Partnership in exchange for the newly issued Common Units.

 

(c)              
If a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Sections 11.1 or 11.2 (or if the Partnership
is continued pursuant to Section 12.2 and the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner) and the option described
in Section 11.3(a) is not exercised by the party entitled to do so, the successor General Partner shall, at the effective date
of its admission to the Partnership, contribute to the Partnership cash in the amount equal to the product of (i) the quotient obtained
by dividing (A) the Percentage Interest of the General Partner Interest of the Departing General Partner by (B) a percentage equal to
100% less the Percentage Interest of the General Partner Interest of the Departing General Partner and (ii) the Net Agreed Value of the
Partnership’s assets on such date. In such event, such successor General Partner shall, subject to the following sentence, be entitled
to its Percentage Interest of all Partnership distributions to which the Departing General Partner was entitled. In addition, the successor
General Partner shall cause this Agreement to be amended to reflect that, from and after the date of such successor General Partner’s
admission, the successor General Partner’s interest in all Partnership distributions shall be its Percentage Interest.

 

Section
11.4        [Reserved].

 

Section
11.5        Withdrawal
of Limited Partners. No Limited Partner shall have any right to withdraw from the Partnership; provided, however, that when a transferee
of a Limited Partner’s Limited Partner Interest becomes a Record Holder of the Limited Partner Interest so transferred, such transferring
Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interest so transferred.

 

    71

     

    

 

Article
XII

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

 

Section
12.1        Dissolution.
The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor or additional
General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the removal or withdrawal of the General Partner, if a successor
General Partner is elected pursuant to Sections 11.1 or 11.2, the Partnership shall not be dissolved and the Board of Directors
shall continue the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall dissolve, and (subject to Section 12.2) its affairs shall
be wound up, upon:

 

(a)              
an election to dissolve the Partnership by the General Partner and our Board of Directors that is approved by the holders of a
Unit Majority;

 

(b)              
at any time there are no Limited Partners, unless the Partnership is continued without dissolution in accordance with the Marshall
Islands Act;

 

(c)              
the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Marshall Islands Act; or

 

(d)              
an Event of Withdrawal of the General Partner as provided in Section 11.1(a) (other than Section 11.1(a)(ii)), unless
a successor is elected and an Opinion of Counsel is received as provided in Sections 11.1(b) or 11.2 and such successor
is admitted to the Partnership pursuant to Section 10.3.

 

Section
12.2        Continuation
of the Business of the Partnership After Dissolution. Upon (a) dissolution of the Partnership following an Event of Withdrawal caused
by the withdrawal or removal of the General Partner as provided in Sections 11.1(a)(i) or 11.1(a)(iii) and the failure
of the Partners to select a successor to such Departing General Partner pursuant to Sections 11.1 or 11.2, then within
90 days thereafter, or (b) dissolution of the Partnership upon an event constituting
an Event of Withdrawal as defined in Sections 11.1(a)(iv), 11.1(a)(v) or 11.1(a)(vi), then, to the maximum extent
permitted by the Marshall Islands Act, within 180 days thereafter, the holders of a Unit Majority may elect in writing to continue the
business of the Partnership on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement by appointing, effective as of the date of the
Event of Withdrawal, as a successor General Partner a Person approved by the holders of a Unit Majority. Unless such an election is made
within the applicable time period as set forth above, the Partnership shall dissolve and conduct only activities necessary to wind up
its affairs. If such an election is so made, then:

 

(i)                
the Partnership shall continue without dissolution unless earlier dissolved in accordance with this Article XII;

 

(ii)             
if the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner, then the interest of the former General Partner shall be treated
in the manner provided in Section 11.3; and

 

    72

     

    

 

(iii)           
 the successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as General Partner, effective as of the Event of Withdrawal,
by agreeing in writing to be bound by this Agreement; provided, however, that the right of the holders of a Unit Majority to approve
a successor General Partner and to reconstitute and to continue the business of the Partnership shall not exist and may not be exercised
unless the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel that the exercise of the right would not result in the loss of limited liability
of any Limited Partner.

 

Section
12.3        Liquidating
Trustee. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, unless the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2,
the Board of Directors shall select one or more Persons to act as Liquidating Trustee. The Liquidating Trustee (if other than the General
Partner) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by holders of at least a majority of the
Outstanding Common Units and Outstanding Class B Units, voting together as a single class. The Liquidating Trustee (if other than the
General Partner) shall agree not to resign at any time without 15 days’ prior notice and may be removed at any time, with or without
cause, by notice of removal approved by holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units and Outstanding Class B Units,
voting together as a single class. Upon dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidating Trustee, a successor and substitute Liquidating
Trustee (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidating Trustee) shall within 30 days thereafter
be approved by the holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units and Outstanding Class B Units, voting together as a
single class. The right to approve a successor or substitute Liquidating Trustee in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to refer
also to any such successor or substitute Liquidating Trustee approved in the manner herein provided. Except as expressly provided in
this Article XII, the Liquidating Trustee approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further
authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the Board of Directors and the General Partner
under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of
such powers, other than the limitation on sale set forth in Section 7.11(b)) necessary or appropriate to carry out the duties
and functions of the Liquidating Trustee hereunder for and during the period of time required to complete the winding up and liquidation
of the Partnership as provided for herein.

 

Section
12.4        Liquidation.
The Liquidating Trustee shall proceed to dispose of the assets of the Partnership, discharge its liabilities, and otherwise wind up its
affairs in such manner and over such period as determined by the Liquidating Trustee, subject to the Marshall Islands Act and the following:

 

(a)              
The assets may be disposed of by public or private sale or by distribution in kind to one or more Partners on such terms as the
Liquidating Trustee and such Partner or Partners may agree. If any property is distributed in kind, the Partner receiving the property
shall be deemed for purposes of Section 12.4(c) to have received cash equal to its fair market value, and contemporaneously therewith,
appropriate cash distributions must be made to the other Partners. The Liquidating Trustee may defer liquidation or distribution of the
Partnership’s assets for a reasonable time if it determines that an immediate sale or distribution of all or some of the Partnership’s
assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners. The Liquidating Trustee may distribute the Partnership’s
assets, in whole or in part, in kind if it determines that a sale would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners.

 

    73

     

    

 

(b)              
 The Liquidating Trustee shall first satisfy the liabilities of the Partnership. Liabilities of the Partnership include amounts
owed to the Liquidating Trustee as compensation for serving in such capacity (subject to the terms of Section 12.3) and amounts
to Partners otherwise than in respect of their distribution rights under Article VI and, as applicable, Article V. With
respect to any liability that is contingent, conditional or unmatured or is otherwise not yet due and payable, the Liquidating Trustee
shall either settle such claim for such amount as it deems appropriate or establish a reserve of cash or other assets to provide for its
payment. When paid, any unused portion of the reserve shall be distributed as additional liquidation proceeds.

 

(c)              
All property and all cash in excess of that required to discharge liabilities as provided in this Section 12.4 shall be
distributed, subject to Section 5.11(c)(iii) in respect of the Series A Preferred Units, as follows:

 

(i)                
 First, to all the Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, an amount equal to the Cumulative Common Unit Arrearage of such
Common Units, if any; and

 

(ii)             
Thereafter, (x) to the General Partner in accordance with its Percentage Interest and (y) to all the Unitholders holding Common
Units and Class B Units, Pro Rata, a percentage equal to 100% less the General Partner’s Percentage Interest.

 

Distributions with respect to
Series A Preferred Units described in Section 5.11(c)(iii) in connection with a liquidation or dissolution of the Partnership shall
be made pursuant to Section 5.11(c)(iii), rather than pursuant to this Section 12.4.

 

Section
12.5        Cancellation
of Certificate of Limited Partnership. Upon the completion of the distribution of Partnership cash and property as provided in Section
12.4 in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership, the Certificate of Limited Partnership and all qualifications of the
Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the Marshall Islands shall be canceled and such other actions
as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken.

 

Section
12.6        Return
of Contributions. The General Partner shall not be personally liable for, and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any
monies or property to the Partnership to enable it to effectuate, the return of the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners or
Unitholders, or any portion thereof, it being expressly understood that any such return shall be made solely from Partnership assets.

 

Section
12.7        Waiver
of Partition. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property.

Section
13.2        Amendment
Procedures. Except as provided in Sections 13.1 and 13.3, all amendments to this Agreement shall be made in accordance
with the following requirements. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed only by, or with the written consent of, the Board of Directors;
provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall have no duty or obligation to propose any amendment to this Agreement and may decline
to do so free of any fiduciary duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, any Record Holder or any other
Person and, in declining to propose an amendment, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law shall not be required to act in good
faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby

a proposed amendment shall be effective upon its approval by the Board of Directors and, if applicable, the holders of a Unit Majority,
unless a greater or different percentage is required under this Agreement or by the Marshall Islands Act. Each proposed amendment that
requires the approval of the holders of a specified percentage of Outstanding Units shall be set forth in a writing that contains the

percentage of Outstanding Units or call a meeting of the Unitholders to consider and vote on such proposed amendment. The Board of Directors
shall notify all Record Holders upon final adoption of any such proposed amendments.

 

Section
13.3        Amendment
Requirements.

 

(a)              
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 13.1 and 13.2, no provision of this Agreement that establishes a percentage
of Outstanding Units (including Units deemed owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates) required to take any action shall be amended,
altered, changed, repealed or rescinded in any respect that would have the effect of (i) in the case of any provision of this Agreement
other than Sections 11.2 or 13.4, reducing such percentage or (ii) in the case of Sections 11.2 or 13.4, increasing
such percentage, unless such amendment is approved by the written consent or the affirmative vote of holders of Outstanding Units whose
aggregate Outstanding Units constitute not less than the voting requirement sought to be reduced.

 

    76

     

    

 

(b)               Notwithstanding
the provisions of Sections 13.1 and 13.2, no amendment to this Agreement may (i) enlarge the obligations of any
Limited Partner without its consent, unless such enlargement shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of an amendment approved
pursuant to Section 13.3(c) or (ii) enlarge the obligations of, restrict in any way any action by or rights of, or reduce in
any way the amounts distributable, reimbursable or otherwise payable to, the General Partner or any of its Affiliates without its
consent, which consent may be given or withheld at the General Partner’s option.

 

(c)              
Except as provided in Section 14.3 and subject to Section 5.11(c)(iv) with respect to the Series A Preferred Units
and without limitation of the Board of Directors’ authority to adopt amendments to this Agreement without the approval of any Partners
as contemplated in Section 13.1, any amendment that would have a material adverse effect on the rights or preferences of any class
or series of Partnership Interests in relation to other classes or series of Partnership Interests must be approved by the holders of
not less than a majority of the Outstanding Partnership Interests of the class affected. If the General Partner determines an amendment
does not satisfy the requirements of Section 13.1(d)(i) because it adversely affects one or more classes or series of Partnership
Interests, as compared to other classes or series of Partnership Interests, in any material respect, such amendment shall only be required
to be approved by the adversely affected class, classes or series.

 

(d)              
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, except for amendments pursuant to Section 13.1 and except as otherwise
provided by Section 14.3(b), no amendments shall become effective without the approval of the holders of at least 90% of the Outstanding
Units voting as a single class, classes or series unless the Partnership obtains an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment
will not affect the limited liability of any Limited Partner under applicable law.

 

(e)              
Except as provided in Section 13.1, this Section 13.3 shall only be amended with the approval of the holders of at
least 90% of the Outstanding Units.

 

Section
13.4        Special
Meetings. All acts of Limited Partners to be taken pursuant to this Agreement shall be taken in the manner provided in this Article
XIII. Special meetings of the Limited Partners may be called by the General Partner, the Board of Directors or by Limited Partners
owning 20% or more of the Outstanding Units of the class, classes or series for which a meeting is proposed. Limited Partners shall call
a special meeting by delivering to the Board of Directors one or more requests in writing stating that the signing Limited Partners wish
to call a special meeting and indicating the general or specific purposes for which the special meeting is to be called, it being understood
that the purposes of such special meeting may only be to vote on matters that require the vote of the Unitholders pursuant to this Agreement.
Within 60 days after receipt of such a call from Limited Partners or within such greater time as may be reasonably necessary for the
Partnership to comply with any statutes, rules, regulations, listing agreements or similar requirements governing the holding of a meeting
or the solicitation of proxies for use at such a meeting, the Board of Directors shall send a notice of the meeting to the Limited Partners
either directly or indirectly through the Transfer Agent. A meeting shall be held at a time and place determined by the Board of Directors
on a date not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days after the mailing of notice of the meeting. Limited Partners shall not vote on
matters that would cause the Limited Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management and control of the business and affairs
of the Partnership so as to jeopardize the Limited Partners’ limited liability under the Marshall Islands Act or the law of any
other jurisdiction in which the Partnership is qualified to do business.

Section
13.5        Notice
of a Meeting. Notice of a meeting called pursuant to Section 13.4 shall be given to the Record Holders of the class, classes
or series of Units for which a meeting is proposed in writing by mail or other means of written communication in accordance with Section
16.1 at least 10 days in advance of such meeting. The notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when deposited in the
mail or sent by other means of written communication.

 

Section
13.6        Record
Date. For purposes of determining the Limited Partners entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Limited Partners or to
give approvals without a meeting as provided in Section 13.11, the Board of Directors may set a Record Date, which shall not be
less than 10 nor more than 60 days before (a) the date of the meeting (unless such requirement conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline
or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed or admitted to trading, in which case the rule, regulation,
guideline or requirement of such National Securities Exchange shall govern) or (b) in the event that approvals are sought without a meeting,
the date by which Limited Partners are requested in writing by the Board of Directors to give such approvals. If the Board of Directors
does not set a Record Date, then (a) the Record Date for determining the Limited Partners entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting
of the Limited Partners shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, and (b) the Record
Date for determining the Limited Partners entitled to give approvals without a meeting shall be the date the first written approval is
deposited with the Partnership in care of the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 13.11.

 

Section
13.7        Adjournment.
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting and a new Record Date need not
be fixed, if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless such adjournment shall
be for more than 45 days. At the adjourned meeting, the Partnership may transact any business which might have been transacted at the
original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 45 days or if a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of
the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with this Article XIII.

 

Section
13.8        Waiver
of Notice; Approval of Meeting; Approval of Minutes. The transactions of any meeting of Limited Partners, however called and noticed,
and whenever held, shall be as valid as if it had occurred at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present
either in person or by proxy. Attendance of a Limited Partner at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except
when the Limited Partner attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction
of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any
right to disapprove the consideration of matters required to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if the disapproval
is expressly made at the meeting.

 

Section
13.9        Quorum
and Voting. The holders of 331⁄3% of the Outstanding Units of the class, classes or series for which a meeting has been called
(including Outstanding Units deemed owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates) represented in person or by proxy shall constitute
a quorum at a meeting of Limited Partners of such class, classes or series unless any such action by the Limited Partners requires approval
by holders of a greater percentage of such Units, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage, provided, however, that
the Series A Preferred Units shall not be considered for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for purposes of electing
directors. At any meeting of the Limited Partners duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present,
the act of Limited Partners holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent a majority of the Outstanding Units entitled to
vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Limited Partners, unless a greater
or different percentage is required with respect to such action under the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the act of the
Limited Partners holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent at least such greater or different percentage shall be required.
The Limited Partners present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Limited Partners to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is
approved by the required percentage of Outstanding Units specified in this Agreement (including Outstanding Units deemed owned by the
General Partner and its Affiliates). In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of Limited Partners may be adjourned from time to time by
the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Units entitled to vote at such meeting (including Outstanding
Units deemed owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates) and represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may
be transacted, except as provided in Section 13.7.

 

    78

     

    

 

Section
13.10    Conduct of
a Meeting. The Board of Directors shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Limited
Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum,
the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 13.4, the conduct of voting, the validity and effect of any proxies and the determination
of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting. The Chairman of the Board of Directors
shall serve as chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting. All minutes shall be
kept with the records of the Partnership maintained by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may make such other regulations
consistent with applicable law and this Agreement as it may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Limited Partners
or solicitation of approvals in writing, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of
inspectors of votes and approvals, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote, and the revocation
of approvals in writing.

 

Section
13.11    Action Without
a Meeting. If authorized by the Board of Directors, any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Limited Partners may be taken
without a meeting if an approval in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Limited Partners owning or deemed owning not
less than the minimum percentage of the Outstanding Units (including Units deemed owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates) that
would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Limited Partners were present and voted (unless such
provision conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed
or admitted to trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such National Securities Exchange shall govern).
Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Limited Partners who have not approved the action in writing.
The Board of Directors may specify that any written ballot submitted to Limited Partners for the purpose of taking any action without
a meeting shall be returned to the Partnership within the time period, which shall be not less than 20 days, specified by the Board of
Directors. If a ballot returned to the Partnership does not vote all of the Units held by the Limited Partners, the Partnership shall
be deemed to have failed to receive a ballot for the Units that were not voted. If approval of the taking of any action by the Limited
Partners is solicited by any Person other than by or on behalf of the Board of Directors, the written approvals shall have no force and
effect unless and until (a) they are deposited with the Partnership in care of the Board of Directors, (b) approvals sufficient to take
the action proposed are dated as of a date not more than 90 days prior to the date sufficient approvals are deposited with the Partnership
and (c) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the Board of Directors to the effect that the exercise of such right and the action proposed
to be taken with respect to any particular matter (i) will not cause the Limited Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management
and control of the business and affairs of the Partnership so as to jeopardize the Limited Partners’ limited liability, and (ii)
is otherwise permissible under the applicable statutes then governing the rights, duties and liabilities of the Partnership and the Partners.

and Related Matters.

 

(a)              
Only those Record Holders of the Units on the Record Date set pursuant to Section 13.6 (and also subject to the limitations
contained in the definition of “Outstanding”) shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Limited Partners
or to act with respect to matters as to which the holders of the Outstanding Units have the right to vote or to act. All references in
this Agreement to votes of, or other acts that may be taken by, the Outstanding Units shall be deemed to be references to the votes or
acts of the Record Holders of such Outstanding Units.

 

(b)              
With respect to Units that are held for a Person’s account by another Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company
or clearing corporation, or an agent of any of the foregoing), in whose name such Units are registered, such other Person shall, in exercising
the voting rights in respect of such Units on any matter, and unless the arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise, vote such
Units in favor of, and at the direction of, the Person who is the beneficial owner, and the Partnership shall be entitled to assume it
is so acting without further inquiry. The provisions of this Section 13.12(b) (as well as all other provisions of this Agreement)
are subject to the provisions of Section 4.3.

merger or consolidation approved in accordance with Section 20(2) of the Marshall Islands Act may (a) effect any amendment to this Agreement

all of the rights, privileges and powers of each of the business entities that has merged or consolidated, and all property, real,
personal and mixed, and all debts due to any of those business entities and all other things and causes of action belonging to each of
those business entities, shall be vested in the Surviving Business Entity and after the merger or consolidation shall be the property
of the Surviving Business Entity to the extent they were of each constituent business entity;

At the effective time of the certificate of conversion, for all purposes of the laws of the Marshall Islands:

all rights, title, and interests to all real estate and other property owned by the Partnership shall remain vested in the converted
entity in its new organizational form without reversion or impairment, without further act or deed, and without any transfer or assignment
having occurred, but subject to any existing liens or other encumbrances thereon;

liabilities and obligations had originally been incurred or contracted by the converted entity; and

 

(v)              
the Partnership Interests that are to be converted into partnership interests, shares, evidences of ownership, or other rights
or securities in the converted entity or cash as provided in the Plan of Conversion shall be so converted, and Partners shall be entitled

RIGHT TO ACQUIRE LIMITED PARTNER INTERESTS

 

Section
15.1        Right
to Acquire Limited Partner Interests.

 

(a)              
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the General Partner and its Affiliates hold more than 80%
of the total Limited Partner Interests of any class or series then Outstanding, the General Partner shall then have the right, which right
it may assign and transfer in whole or in part to the Partnership or any Affiliate of the General Partner, exercisable at its option,
to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Limited Partner Interests of such class or series then Outstanding held by Persons other
than the General Partner and its Affiliates, at the greater of (x) the Current Market Price as of the date three days prior to the date
that the notice described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed and (y) the highest price paid by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates
for any such Limited Partner Interest of such class or series purchased during the 90-day period preceding the date that the notice
described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the repurchase right described in this Article XV shall
not apply to Series A Preferred Units.

 

(b)               If
the General Partner, any Affiliate of the General Partner or the Partnership elects to exercise the right to purchase Limited
Partner Interests granted pursuant to Section 15.1(a), the General Partner shall deliver to the Transfer Agent notice of such
election to purchase (the “Notice of Election to Purchase”) and shall cause the Transfer Agent to mail a
copy of such Notice of Election to Purchase to the Record Holders of Limited Partner Interests of such class, classes or series (as
of a Record Date selected by the General Partner) at least 10, but not more than 60, days prior to the Purchase Date. Such Notice of
Election to Purchase shall also be published for a period of at least three consecutive days in at least two daily newspapers of
general circulation printed in the English language and published in the Borough of Manhattan, New York. The Notice of Election to
Purchase shall specify the Purchase Date and the price (determined in accordance with Section 15.1(a)) at which Limited
Partner Interests will be purchased and state that the General Partner, its Affiliate or the Partnership, as the case may be, elects
to purchase such Limited Partner Interests, upon surrender of Certificates representing such Limited Partner Interests, if any, in
exchange for payment, at such office or offices of the Transfer Agent as the Transfer Agent may specify, or as may be required by
any National Securities Exchange on which such Limited Partner Interests are listed. Any such Notice of Election to Purchase mailed
to a Record Holder of Limited Partner Interests at his address as reflected in the records of the Transfer Agent shall be
conclusively presumed to have been given regardless of whether the owner receives such notice. On or prior to the Purchase Date, the
General Partner, its Affiliate or the Partnership, as the case may be, shall deposit with the Transfer Agent cash in an amount
sufficient to pay the aggregate purchase price of all of such Limited Partner Interests to be purchased in accordance with this Section
15.1. If the Notice of Election to Purchase shall have been duly given as aforesaid at least 10 days prior to the Purchase Date,
and if on or prior to the Purchase Date the deposit described in the preceding sentence has been made for the benefit of the holders
of Limited Partner Interests subject to purchase as provided herein, then from and after the Purchase Date to the extent
Certificates for the Limited Partner Interests are outstanding, notwithstanding that any Certificate shall not have been surrendered
for purchase, all rights of the holders of such Limited Partner Interests (including any rights pursuant to Articles IV, V, VI
and XII) shall thereupon cease, except the right to receive the applicable purchase price (determined in accordance with Section
15.1(a)) for Limited Partner Interests therefor, without interest, upon surrender to the Transfer Agent of the Certificates
representing such Limited Partner Interests, and such Limited Partner Interests shall thereupon be deemed to be transferred to the
General Partner, its Affiliate or the Partnership, as the case may be, on the record books of the Transfer Agent and the
Partnership, and the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner, or the Partnership, as the case may be, shall be
deemed to be the owner of all such Limited Partner Interests from and after the Purchase Date and shall have all rights as the owner
of such Limited Partner Interests (including all rights as owner of such Limited Partner Interests pursuant to Articles IV, V, VI
and XII).

 

    85

     

    

 

(c)              
At any time from and after the Purchase Date, a holder of an Outstanding Limited Partner Interest subject to purchase as provided
in this Section 15.1 may surrender his Certificate evidencing such Limited Partner Interest to the Transfer Agent in exchange for
payment of the amount described in Section 15.1(a), without interest thereon.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

Section
16.1        Addresses
and Notices.

 

(a)               Any
notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials required or permitted to be given or made to a Partner under this Agreement shall
be in writing and shall be deemed given or made when delivered in person or when sent by first class United States mail or by other
means of written communication to the Partner at the address described below. Any notice, payment or report to be given or made to a
Partner hereunder shall be deemed conclusively to have been given or made, and the obligation to give such notice or report or to
make such payment shall be deemed conclusively to have been fully satisfied, upon sending of such notice, payment or report to the
Record Holder of such Partnership Interests at his address as shown on the records of the Transfer Agent or as otherwise shown on
the records of the Partnership, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such Partnership Interests by
reason of any assignment or otherwise. An affidavit or certificate of making of any notice, payment or report in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 16.1 executed by a member of the Board of Directors, the General Partner, the Transfer Agent or
the mailing organization shall be prima facie evidence of the giving or making of such notice, payment or report. If any notice,
payment or report addressed to a Record Holder at the address of such Record Holder appearing on the books and records of the
Transfer Agent or the Partnership is returned by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal
Service is unable to deliver it, such notice, payment or report and any subsequent notices, payments and reports shall be deemed to
have been duly given or made without further mailing (until such time as such Record Holder or another Person notifies the Transfer
