any instrument or agreement relating to an Award made under the Plan; (vii) establish, amend, suspend, or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and

respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons, including the Company, the General Partner, the Partnership, any Affiliate,
any Participant, and any beneficiary of any Award. 
 SECTION 4. Units. 
 (a) Limits on Units Deliverable. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), the number of Units that may be delivered with respect to
Awards under the Plan is [                    ]. If a Restricted Unit is forfeited, cancelled or otherwise terminates or expires without the
delivery of unvested Units with respect to such Award, the Units subject to such Award shall again be available for future Awards under the Plan. 
  

 -3- 

 (b) Sources of Units Deliverable Under Awards. Any Units delivered pursuant to an Award shall
consist, in whole or in part, of Units acquired in the open market, from any Affiliate, the Partnership or any other Person, or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. 
 (c) Adjustments. In the event of any distribution (whether in the form of Units, other securities or property other than cash), 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, the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted (solely for the
purpose of equating, to the extent reasonably possible, the Units subject to awards with those otherwise outstanding) and the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, provided, that the number of
Units subject to any Award shall always be a whole number (rounded up when necessary). 
 SECTION 5. Eligibility. 
 Any Management Employee shall be eligible to be designated a Participant by the Committee and receive an Award under the Plan. 
 SECTION 6. Awards. 
 (a) Restricted
Units. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Management Employees to whom Restricted Units shall be granted, the number of Restricted Units to be granted to each such Participant, the Restricted Period, the conditions under
which the Restricted Units may become vested or forfeited and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such Awards. 
 (i) UDRs. To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, a grant of Restricted Units may provide that the distributions made by the Partnership with respect to the Restricted Units shall be subject
to the same forfeiture and other restrictions as the Restricted Unit and, if restricted, such distributions shall be held, without interest, until the Restricted Unit vests or is forfeited with the UDR being paid or forfeited at the same time, as
the case may be. Absent such a restriction on the UDRs in the grant agreement, UDRs shall be paid promptly to the holder of the Restricted Unit without vesting restrictions. 
 (ii) Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the Restricted Units grant agreement, upon termination of a
Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates for any reason during the applicable Restricted Period, all outstanding, unvested Restricted Units awarded the Participant shall be automatically forfeited on such termination. The
Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to a Participant’s Restricted Units. 
  

 -4- 

 (iii) Lapse of Restrictions. Upon or as soon as reasonably practical following the
vesting of each Restricted Unit, subject to satisfying the tax withholding obligations of Section 8(b), the Participant shall be entitled to have the restrictions removed from his or her Unit certificate so that the Participant then holds an
unrestricted Unit. 
 (b) Cash Awards. The Committee shall have the authority to grant a Cash Award in tandem with a Restricted Unit
Award, the conditions under which the Cash Awards may become vested and payable or forfeited and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such Awards. 
 (c) General. 
 (i)
Limits on Transfer of Awards. 
 (A) Except as provided in Paragraph (B) below, no Award and no right under any
such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable
against the Company, the Partnership or any Affiliate. 
 (B) To the extent specifically provided by the Committee with
respect to an Award, an Award may be transferred by a Participant without consideration to immediate family members or related family trusts, limited partnerships or similar entities or on such terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to
time establish. 
 (ii) Unit Certificates. All certificates for Units or other securities of the Partnership delivered
under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any
stock exchange upon which such Units or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be inscribed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
restrictions. 
 (iii) Consideration for Grants. Awards may be granted for such consideration, including services, as
the Committee shall determine. 
 SECTION 7. Amendment and Termination. 
 Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law: 
 (a) Amendments to the Plan. Except as required by the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Units are traded and subject to Section 7(b) below, the Board 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 any other
Person. 
  

 -5- 

 (b) Amendments to Awards. Subject to Section 7(a), the Committee may waive
any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided no change, other than pursuant to Section 7(c), in any Award shall materially reduce the benefit to a Participant without the consent of such
Participant. 
 (c) Actions Upon the Occurrence of Certain Events. Upon the occurrence of any event described in
Section 4(c) of the Plan, any change in applicable law or regulation affecting the Plan or Awards thereunder, or any change in accounting principles affecting the financial statements of the Partnership, the Committee, in its sole discretion,
without the consent of any Participant or holder of the Award, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, may take any one or more of the following actions in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential
benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or an outstanding Award: 
 (A) provide for either (i) the
termination of any Award in exchange for an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Units forfeited or (ii) the replacement of such Award with other substantially economically equivalent rights or property selected by
the Committee in its sole discretion; 
 (B) provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor entity, or a
parent or subsidiary thereof, or be exchanged for a similar award covering the equity of the successor or survivor, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of equity interests and prices; 

(C) make adjustments in the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and in the number
and kind of outstanding Awards or in the terms and conditions of, and the vesting and performance criteria, if any, included in, outstanding Awards, or both; and 
 (D) provide that such Award shall be payable, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless provided otherwise in a Participant’s Award Agreement, upon any event that constitutes a Change
in Control (or such earlier time as the Committee may proscribe), all Awards shall automatically vest and become exercisable or payable, 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. 
 SECTION 8. General Provisions. 
 (a) No Rights to Award. No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of
treatment of Participants. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 
 (b) Tax
Withholding. Unless other arrangements have been made that are acceptable to the Company, the Company or any Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award, from 
  

 -6- 

 any payment due or transfer made under any Award or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the
amount (in cash, Units, Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to such Award or other property) of any applicable taxes payable in respect of the grant of an Award, 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 its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes. 
 (c) 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. Furthermore, 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, any Award agreement or other agreement. 
 (d) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. 
 (e) Severability. If any
provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Compensation
Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award,
such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (f) Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or other consideration under an Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Units or such other
consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Units are then traded, or entitle the Partnership or an Affiliate to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act, and any payment tendered to the 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. 
 (g) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a
fiduciary relationship between the Company or any participating 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 participating Affiliate pursuant to an Award,
such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Company or any participating Affiliate. 
 (h) No
Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional
Units or whether such fractional Units or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated. 
  

 -7- 

 (i) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a
convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof. 
 (j) Facility Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any person under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the Committee, is unable to
manage properly his financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such person, or may be applied for the benefit of such person in any manner that the Committee may select, and the Company shall be relieved of any further liability
for payment of such amounts. 
 (k) Participation by Affiliates. In making Awards to Employees employed by an entity other than the
Company, the Committee shall be acting on behalf of the Affiliate, and to the extent the Partnership has an obligation to reimburse the Company for compensation paid for services rendered for the benefit of the Partnership, such payments or
reimbursement payments may be made by the Partnership directly to the Affiliate, and, if made to the Company, shall be received by the Company as agent for the Affiliate. 
 (l) Gender and Number. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
 (m) Compliance with Section 409A. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall operate or be construed to cause the Plan or an Award to
fail to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The applicable provisions of Section 409A and the regulations thereunder are hereby incorporated by reference and shall control over any Plan or Award
Agreement provision in conflict therewith. 
 SECTION 9. Term of the Plan. 
 The Plan shall be effective on the date of the initial public offering of Units and shall continue until the earliest of (i) the date terminated by
the Board, (ii) all Units available under the Plan have been paid to Participants or (iii) the fifth anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. However, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the
Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award, shall extend beyond such termination date.
