withholding of Units, or any                     combination thereof; provided that the
combined value, as determined by the                     Committee, of all cash and cash
equivalent and the Fair Market Value of any such                     Units or other
property so tendered to the Company, as of the date of such                     tender,
is at least equal to the full amount required to be paid to the Company
                    pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award agreement.  

	  	  	(vii)  	  	Change

                    automatically vest and become payable or exercisable, as the case may
be, in                     full. In this regard, all Restricted Periods shall terminate
and all performance                     criteria, if any, shall be deemed to have been
achieved at the maximum level.  

	  	  	(viii)  	  	Sale
of Significant Assets. In the event the Company or the Partnership
                    sells or otherwise disposes of a significant portion of the assets
under its                     control, (such significance to be determined by action of
the Board of the                     Company in its sole discretion) and as a consequence
of such disposition (a) a                     Participant’s employment is terminated
by the Partnership, the Company or                     their affiliates without Cause or
by the Participant for Good Reason or (b) as a                     result of such sale or
disposition, the Participant’s employer shall no                     longer be the
Partnership, the Company or one of their Affiliates, then all of                     such
Participant’s Awards shall automatically vest and become payable or
                    exercisable, as the case may be, in full. In this regard, all
Restricted Periods                     shall terminate and all performance criteria, if
any, shall be deemed to have                     been achieved at the maximum level.

Death, Disability. Except as otherwise determined by the
                    Committee and included in the Participant’s Award agreement, if
a                     Participant’s employment is terminated because of retirement,
death or                     disability (with the determination of disability to be made
within the sole                     discretion of the Committee), any Award held by the
Participant shall remain                     outstanding and vest or become exercisable
according to the Award’s                     original terms, provided, however, that
any Restricted Units held by such                     Participant which remain unvested

applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award agreement or in the
Plan. 

	  	(i)  	  	Amendments
to the Plan. Except as required by applicable law or the rules                of the
principal securities exchange on which the Units are traded and subject                to
Section 7(ii) below, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend,
               discontinue, or terminate the Plan in any manner, including increasing the
               number of Units available for Awards under the Plan, without the consent
of any                partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or
other Person.  

	  	(ii)  	  	Amendments
to Awards. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights                under,
amend any terms of, or alter any Award therefore granted, provided no
               change, other than pursuant to Section 7(iii), in any Award shall
materially                reduce the benefit to Participant without the consent of such
Participant.  

	  	(iii)  	  	Adjustment
of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring                Events.
The Committee is hereby authorized to make adjustments in the terms                and
conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of
               unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events
               described in Section 4.3 of the Plan) affecting the Partnership or the
financial                statements of the Partnership, or of changes in applicable laws,
regulations, or                accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines
that such adjustments                are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or                potential benefits intended to be made
available under the Plan.  

	SECTION 8.  	  	General Provisions.  

	  	8.1  	  	No
Rights to Awards.  No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award,  and there is
no  obligation  for  uniformity of                   treatment of Participants.  The
terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant. 

	  	8.2  	  	Withholding.
The Company or any Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment
due or transfer made under any Award or from any compensation or other amount owing to a
Participant the amount (in cash, Units, other securities, Units that would otherwise be
issued pursuant to such Award or other property) of any applicable taxes payable in
respect of the grant of an Award, the lapse of restrictions thereon, or any payment or
transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be
necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of
such taxes.  

Page 8 

	  	8.3  	  	No
Right to Employment. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a
Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate or to
remain on the Board, as applicable. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time
dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the
Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award agreement.  

	  	8.4  	  	Governing
Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations
relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware and applicable federal law.  

	  	8.5  	  	Severability.
If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would
disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such
provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if
it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee,
materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken
as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award
shall remain in full force and effect.  

	  	8.6  	  	Other
Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or other consideration
under an Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of
such Units or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation,
the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Units are then traded, or
entitle the Partnership or an Affiliate to recover the entire then Fair Market Value
thereof under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company
by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such
Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary.  

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

	  	8.8  	  	No
Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the
Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or
other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Units or whether
such fractional Units or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise
eliminated.  

Page 9 

	  	8.9  	  	Headings.
Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to
facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant
to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.  

	  	8.10  	  	Gender
and Number. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, the
plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.  

	SECTION 9.  	  	 Term of the Plan. 

The Plan shall be effective on the
date of its approval by the Board and shall continue under the date terminated by the
Board or Units are no longer available for grants of Awards under the Plan, whichever
occurs first, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Award shall be
made under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. However, unless
otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award
granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to
amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any
conditions or rights under such Award, shall extend beyond such termination date.

cash, Units, other securities, or other property),                recapitalization,
split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation,                split-up,
spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Units or other
               securities of the Partnership, issuance of warrants or other rights to
purchase                Units or other securities of the Partnership, or other similar
transaction or                event affects the Units such that an adjustment is
determined by the Committee                to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution
or enlargement of the benefits or                potential benefits intended to be made
available under the Plan, then the                Committee shall, in such manner as it
may deem equitable, adjust any or all of                (i) the number and types of Units
(or other securities or property) with respect                to which Awards may be
granted, (ii) the number and type of Units (or other                securities or
property) subject to outstanding Awards or Options, and (iii) if                deemed
appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an
               outstanding Option; provided, that the number of Units subject to any
Award or                Option shall always be a whole number.

Any Employee or Director shall be
eligible to be designated a Participant.

shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. 

 3

	  	(a)  	  	Exercise
Price. The purchase price per Unit purchasable under an Option                shall

	  	(b)  	  	Time
and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or
               times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, and the
method or                methods by which payment of the exercise price with respect
thereto may be made                or deemed to have been made which may include, without
limitation, cash, check                acceptable to the Company, a “cashless-broker” exercise

Company), or any combination                thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the
exercise date equal to the relevant                exercise price. The Participant shall

on or before the Date of Exercise.

Affiliates, or                (ii) membership on the Board, whichever is applicable,
for any reason                (other than for retirement, death or disability of the
Participant (see                Section VI.(h) below)), all Options which remain
unexercised, whether                vested or unvested, shall be forfeited by the
Participant at the close of                business on the date of the Participant’s

terminated because of retirement, death or disability (with the
               determination of disability to be made within the sole discretion of the
               Committee), any Option held by the Participant shall remain outstanding
and vest                or become exercisable according to the Option’s original
terms.

of descent and distribution. Otherwise, Options granted under this Plan shall be
exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant (except as otherwise provided in the
Plan or the applicable Agreement) only by the Participant for his or her individual
account, and no purported assignment or transfer of such Options thereunder, whether
voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall vest in the purported

such purposed assignment or transfer, or any attempt to make the same, such Options
thereunder shall terminate and become of no further effect.

The Company’s obligation to
deliver Units or pay any amount pursuant to the terms of any Option shall be subject to
the satisfaction of applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. To
the extent provided in the applicable Agreement and in accordance with rules prescribed by
the Committee, a Participant may satisfy any such withholding tax obligation by any of the
following means or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering a cash payment, (ii)
authorizing the Company to withhold Units otherwise issuable to the Participant, or (iii)

to Awards. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights                under,
amend any terms of, or alter any Award or Option theretofore granted,
               provided no change, other than pursuant to Section X(b) below, in an Award
shall                materially reduce the benefit to Participant without the consent of
such                Participant.  

	  	(b)  	  	Adjustment
of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring                Events.

conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards and Options in
               recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without
limitation,                the events described in Section IV(c) of the Plan) affecting
the Partnership or                the financial statements of the Partnership, or of
changes in applicable laws,                regulations, or accounting principles,
whenever the Committee determines that                such adjustments are appropriate in
order to prevent dilution or enlargement of                the benefits or potential
benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.  

	XI.  	  	General  

        The
following general provisions shall be applicable to the Plan: 

	  	(a)  	  	No
Rights to Awards. No Employee or Director shall have any claim to be
               granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment
of                Participants. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same
with                respect to each Participant.  

	  	(b)  	  	No
Right to Employment. The grant of an Award or Option shall not be
               construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ
of the                Company or any Affiliate or to remain on the Board, as applicable.
Further, the                Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant
from employment,                free from any liability or any claim under the Plan,
unless otherwise expressly                provided in the Plan or in an Agreement.  

 5

	  	(c)  	  	Governing
Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any                rules
and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance
               with the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable federal law.  

	  	(d)  	  	Severability.
If any provision of the Plan or any Award or Option is or                becomes or is
deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any                jurisdiction or as
to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any                Award or any
Option under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such                provision
shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable                laws, or
if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the                determination
of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or                the Award,
such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person,                Award,
or Option, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award or Option
               shall remain in full force and effect.  

	  	(e)  	  	Other
Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or                other
consideration under an Award or Option if, in its sole discretion, it
               determines that the issuance or transfer of such Units or such other
               consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, the rules of
the                principal securities exchange on which the Units are then traded, or
entitle the                Partnership or an Affiliate to recover the entire then Fair
Market Value thereof                under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any
payment tendered to the Company                by a Participant, other holder or
beneficiary in connection with the exercise of                such Award or Option shall
be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant,                holder or beneficiary.  

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

	  	(g)  	  	No
Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered
               pursuant to the Plan or any Award or Option, and the Committee shall
determine                whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid
or transferred                in lieu of any fractional Units or whether such fractional
Units or any rights                thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise
eliminated.  

	  	(h)  	  	Headings.
Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan                solely as a
convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be                deemed in
any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of                the
Plan or any provision thereof.  

	  	(i)  	  	Gender
and Number. Words in the masculine gender shall include the                feminine
gender, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall
               include the plural.  

 6

	  	(j)  	  	Beneficiary.
Each person whose name appears on the signature page of a                Participant’s
Agreement after the caption “Beneficiary” or is                otherwise
designated by Participant in accordance with the rules established by                the
Committee and who is Participant’s Beneficiary at the time of his or
               her death shall be recognized under the Plan as the Participant’s
               “Beneficiary” and shall be entitled to exercise the Option, to
the                extent it is exercisable, after the death of Participant. Any
Participant may                from time to time revoke or change his or her Beneficiary
without the consent of                any prior Beneficiary by filing a new designation
with the Company. The last                such designation received by the Company shall
be controlling; provided,                however, that no designation, or change or
revocation thereof, shall be                effective unless received (within the meaning
of such term under Section XI (l)                of the Plan) by the Company prior to the
Participant’s death, and in no                event shall any designation be
effective as of a date prior to such receipt. If                no Beneficiary
designation is in effect at the time of the Participant’s                death, or
if no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant or if such
               designation conflicts with applicable law, each person entitled to the
Option                under the Participant’s last will or, in the absence of any
such will, the                laws of descent and distribution, shall be deemed to be the
Participant’s                Beneficiary who is entitled to exercise the Option, to
the extent it is                exercisable after the death of Participant. If the
Committee administering the                Plan is in doubt as to the right of any person
to exercise the Option, the                Company may refuse to recognize such exercise,
without liability for any                interest or distributions on the underlying
Units, until the Committee                determines the person entitled to exercise the
Option, or the Company may apply                to any court of appropriate jurisdiction
for declaratory or other appropriate                relief and such application shall be
a complete discharge of the liability of                the Company therefore.  

	  	(k)  	  	              The
Company and its Affiliates will pay all expense that may arise in connection
               to the administration of this Plan.  

	  	(l)  	  	                Any
notice required or permitted to be given under this Plan shall be sufficient
               if in writing and hand-delivered with appropriate proof of same, or sent
by                registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the
Participant,                Beneficiary or the Secretary (or equivalent person) of the
Company, Affiliate,                Partnership, Committee, or other person or entity at
the address last furnished                by such person or entity. Such notice shall be
deemed given as of the date of                delivery or, if delivery is made by mail,
as of the date shown on the postmark                on the receipt for registration or
certification.  

	  	(m)  	  	             No
liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any past, present or
               future unitholders, stockholders, members, officers or directors, as such,
of                the Company and its Affiliates, under or by reason any of the terms,
conditions                or agreements contained in this Plan or implied therefrom, and
any and all                liabilities of, and any and all rights and claims against, the
Company or its                Affiliates, or any unitholder, stockholder, member, officer
or director, as                such, whether arising at common law or in equity or
created by statute or                constitution or otherwise, pertaining to this Plan
(other than liability for the                benefits, if any, provided hereunder), are
hereby expressly waived and released                by every Participant, as part of the
consideration for any benefits provided by                the Company and its Affiliates
under this Plan.  

	  	(n)  	  	          Neither
the Company nor any Affiliates nor the Committee makes any commitment or
               guarantee that any federal or state tax treatment will apply or be
available to                any person participating or eligible to participate in this
Plan.  

 7

	  	(o)  	  	             The
provisions of the Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of (i)
               the Company or any Affiliates and (ii) a Participant, including without
               limitation, the estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator
or                trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or
               representative of the Participant’s creditors.  

	  	(p)  	  	             Except
as otherwise provided in any notification or agreement relating to an
               Award, a Participant shall have no rights as a unitholder of the
Partnership                until such Participant becomes the holder of record of Units.  

	  	(q)  	  	              This
Plan is not intended by its terms or as a result of surrounding
               circumstances to provide retirement income or to defer the receipt of
payments                hereunder to the termination of the Participant’s covered
employment or                beyond. This Plan is strictly a Unit option program and not
a pension or welfare                benefit plan that is subject to the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of                1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
All interpretations and determinations                hereunder shall be made on a basis
consistent with the status of the Plan as a                Unit option program that is
not subject to ERISA.
