non-Affiliates in connection with the Proposed Transaction. 
 (b) The Partnership shall have 30 days following receipt of

(including, without limitation, the purchase price the Partnership proposes to pay for the ROFO Asset and the other terms of the purchase) pursuant to which the Partnership would be willing to enter into a binding agreement for the Proposed
Transaction. If no ROFO Response is delivered by the Partnership within such 30-day period, then the Partnership shall be deemed to have waived the ROFO with respect to such ROFO Asset, and Sponsor or the applicable Sponsor Entity shall be free to

acceptable to the Sponsor Entity and the Partnership. If the Sponsor Entity and the Partnership have not entered into a letter of intent or a definitive purchase and sale agreement with respect to such ROFO Asset within such time period, or if any
such letter of intent or agreement is entered into but subsequently terminated, the Sponsor Entity may, at any time during the succeeding 150-day period, enter into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with any third party with respect to such
ROFO Asset on terms and conditions that, when taken as a whole, are superior, in the good faith determination of such Sponsor Entity, to those set forth in the last written offer proposed by the Partnership during negotiations between the
Partnership and the Sponsor Entity pursuant to this Section 2.2(c), and may Transfer the ROFO Asset pursuant to such purchase and sale agreement. If Sponsor or any Sponsor Entity does not enter into a definitive agreement with a third
party with respect to the Proposed Transaction within such 150-day period, the Sponsor shall, or shall cause such Sponsor Entity to, comply with the provisions of this Article 2 again prior to entering into any Proposed Transaction with respect to
such ROFO Asset.

3.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties relating to the matters contained
herein, superseding all prior contracts or agreements, whether oral or written, relating to the matters contained herein, other than the Contribution Agreement.  

3.4 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the
Effective Date and (ii) a Change of Control of the General Partner or the Partnership, other than any Change of Control of the General Partner or the Partnership deemed to have occurred pursuant to clause (d) of the definition of

 6 

 
a Change of Control of the Sponsor. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the General Partner is removed as general partner of the Partnership under circumstances where Cause
does not exist and the Common Units held by the General Partner and its Affiliates are not voted in favor of such removal, this Agreement may immediately thereupon be terminated by the Sponsor. 

3.5 Effect of Waiver or Consent. No waiver or consent, express or implied, by any Party to or of any breach or default by
any Person in the performance by such Person of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such Person of the same or any other obligations of such
Person hereunder. Failure on the part of a Party to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its rights hereunder until the
applicable statute of limitations period has run.  
 3.6 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may be
amended or modified from time to time only by the written agreement of all the Parties. Each such instrument shall be reduced to writing and shall be designated on its face an “Amendment” or an “Addendum” to this Agreement. 

 3.7 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. No Party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement
without the consent of the other Parties. Each of the Parties hereto specifically intends that each entity comprising the Sponsor Entities and each entity comprising the Partnership Entities, as applicable, whether or not a Party to this Agreement,
shall be entitled to assert rights and remedies hereunder as third-party beneficiaries hereto with respect to those provisions of this Agreement affording a right, benefit or privilege to any such entity.  

3.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. The delivery of an executed counterpart copy of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission in PDF format shall be deemed to be the equivalent of delivery of the
originally executed copy thereof. 
 3.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any applicable rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of
the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.  

3.10 Gender, Parts, Articles and Sections. Whenever the context requires, the gender of all words used in this Agreement
shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, and the number of all words shall include the singular and plural. All references to Article numbers and Section numbers refer to Articles and Sections of this Agreement.

transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Party agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the
terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all such transactions.  
 3.12 Withholding or Granting of
Consent. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party may, with respect to any consent or approval that it is entitled to grant pursuant to this Agreement, grant or withhold such consent or approval in its sole and
uncontrolled discretion, with or without cause, and subject to such conditions as it shall deem appropriate.  
 3.13
Laws and Regulations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Party shall be required to take any act, or fail to take any act, under this Agreement if the effect thereof would be to cause such Party to be
in violation of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation.  
 3.14 Negation of Rights of Limited Partners,
Assignees and Third Parties. Except as set forth in Section 3.7, the provisions of this Agreement are enforceable solely by the Parties, and no shareholder, limited partner, member, or assignee of the Sponsor, the General
Partner, the Partnership or other Person shall have the right, separate and apart from the Sponsor, the General Partner or the Partnership, to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to compel any Party to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
 
 3.15 No Recourse Against Officers and Directors. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this
Agreement shall not give rise to any right of recourse against any officer or director of any Sponsor Entity or any Partnership Entity.  

3.16 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled by
final and binding arbitration conducted in Bethesda, Maryland in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by one or more arbitrators designated in accordance with said Rules. The Parties agree that the
award of the arbitral tribunal (the “Arbitration Award”) shall be: (a) conclusive, final and binding upon the Parties; and (b) the sole and exclusive remedy between the Parties regarding any and all claims and
counterclaims presented to the arbitral tribunal. All notices to be given in connection with the arbitration shall be as provided in Section 3.2 of this Agreement. The Arbitration Award shall include interest, at a rate determined as
appropriate by the arbitrators, from the date of any breach or other violation of this Agreement to the date when the Arbitration Award is paid in full. The Arbitration Award shall also include the fixing of the expense of the arbitration and the
assessment of the same, as is appropriate in the opinion of the arbitrators, against either or both Parties hereto. Each Party shall otherwise bear its cost for its respective legal fees, witnesses, depositions and other out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in the course of the arbitration. 
 3.17 Dispute Resolution. If there is a material breach of this Agreement that
has not been corrected within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of such breach, representatives of each of the Parties in dispute shall meet promptly to review and resolve such issues and breaches in

  
 8 

 
good faith (the date on which such Persons first so meet, the “Discussion Date”). If such Persons are unable to fully resolve any such issues and breaches in good faith within
fifteen days after the Discussion Date, a Party shall be entitled to pursue any right or remedy available at law or in equity.
