as follows, effective as of the Effective Time: 

 ARTICLE I. 

SERVICES 

1.1 Services. From the period of time commencing on September 30, 2009 until the Effective Time, CHK directed
and caused Executive to serve as the President of the Company. For the period of time commencing on the Effective Time and ending upon the resignation or termination of employment or services, as the case may be, of Executive with CHK or the General
Partner or such other date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article III hereof, CHK shall direct and cause Executive to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the General Partner. The “Term” of
this Agreement began on September 30, 2009 and shall continue until terminated as described in the preceding sentence. During the Term, from and after the Effective Time, Executive will remain at all times an employee of CHK but, in addition,
will also be a joint employee of the General Partner and, with respect to Executive’s services as Chief Executive Officer of the General Partner, shall at all times during the Term, work solely under the direction, supervision and control of
the board of directors of the General Partner. The board of directors of the General Partner shall be ultimately and fully responsible for the Executive’s assignments with respect to the Executive’s services performed for the General
Partner. Subject to Section 3.1, during the Term, CHK will not have the right to terminate the services of Executive to the General Partner or otherwise exercise direction, supervision or control over Executive while Executive is performing
services on behalf of the General Partner. CHK acknowledges and agrees that CHK’s obligation to cause Executive to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the General Partner, and Executive’s service in such capacity, shall not be affected by
any change in the services provided by Executive to CHK and its affiliates including, without limitation, in the event that Executive ceases to hold a position with CHK but continues to provide services to Chesapeake Midstream Development, L.P.
(“CMD”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall in any way be deemed to limit Executive’s duties to the General Partner as an officer thereof. The General Partner shall defend, hold
harmless and indemnify CHK against any and all losses, costs, claims and expenses, other than Excluded Costs (as defined below), resulting from any act or omission of Executive to the extent arising from or related to services provided by Executive
to the General Partner, the MLP or the Company, and CHK shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify the General Partner, the MLP and the Company against any and all losses, costs, claims and expenses resulting from any act or omission of Executive to
the extent arising from or related to services provided by Executive to CHK or CMD. 
 1.2 CHK Benefit
Plans. None of Chesapeake Midstream Ventures, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“CMV”), the General Partner, the MLP or any of their subsidiaries shall be a participating employer in any employee benefit plan,
policy or arrangement of CHK or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates other than CMV, the General Partner, the MLP and their subsidiaries (a “CHK Benefit Plan”). Subject to the General Partner’s reimbursement obligations
hereunder, CHK and its affiliates (other than CMV, the General Partner, the MLP and their subsidiaries) shall remain solely responsible for all obligations and liabilities arising under the express terms of the CHK Benefit Plans, and none of CMV,
the General Partner, the MLP or any of their subsidiaries shall assume any CHK Benefit Plan or have any obligations or liabilities arising under the express terms of the CHK Benefit Plans, in each case except for cost reimbursement pursuant to this
Agreement. 
  

 2 

 1.3 Payment Obligations. With respect to Executive, the Parties
acknowledge and agree that CHK agrees to pay all direct and indirect costs associated with Executive’s employment, but that the General Partner shall be responsible for reimbursing CHK for certain costs to the extent set forth in Article II
below. Subject to the General Partner’s responsibility to so reimburse CHK, CHK agrees to indemnify and hold the General Partner harmless from any and all Losses (as defined below) incurred by the General Partner related to CHK’s failure
to carry out its duties for the payment of such costs as set forth above, except to the extent that such Losses arise solely out of or result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the General Partner. 

ARTICLE II. 

REIMBURSEMENT 

2.1 Reimbursable Amounts. In consideration of CHK’s agreement to share Executive’s services with the
General Partner, subject to Sections 2.2, and 2.4 below, the General Partner shall reimburse CHK for a percentage of the following costs and expenses incurred by CHK or its affiliates (other than CMV, the General Partner, the MLP and their
subsidiaries) (each, a “Chesapeake Entity” and collectively, the “Chesapeake Entities”), as applicable, in connection with Executive’s employment for each calendar month during the Term. Such
reimbursement percentage for a given month shall be equal to the GP Reimbursement Percentage (as defined below) for such month (or, in the case of Sections 2.1.3, 2.1.5, and 2.1.14 only, 100%). 

2.1.1 base salary and cash bonuses as set forth in the Employment Agreement (including payroll and withholding taxes
associated therewith), provided, that, except as otherwise agreed by GIP, the General Partner shall not be obligated to reimburse CHK for any discretionary base salary increases or cash bonus amounts paid by CHK in excess of the amounts set
forth in the Employment Agreement as in effect on September 30, 2009; and provided, further, that the amount of Executive’s 2009 annual bonus that is subject to reimbursement under this Section 2.1 shall be equal to a pro rata
portion of such annual bonus reflecting the period commencing on July 1, 2009 and ending on December 31, 2009; 

2.1.2 the grant of any restricted stock pursuant to the Employment Agreement during the Term provided, that, except as
otherwise agreed by GIP, the General Partner shall not be obligated to reimburse CHK for any discretionary restricted stock grants made during the Term in excess of the grant amounts set forth in the Employment Agreement as in effect on
September 30, 2009. The costs and expense calculated with respect to the grant of each share of restricted stock shall be equal to the per share closing trading price of CHK’s common stock on the date of grant, as reported by the New York
Stock Exchange, provided that, if the date of grant is not a trading day, the applicable per share closing trading price shall be the per share closing trading price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant. With respect to any
grant of restricted stock for which reimbursement was paid by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 2.1, in the event that all or any portion of such grant is ultimately forfeited, promptly following the forfeiture, CHK shall provide the
General Partner with a credit towards Reimbursable Amounts (if during the Term) or a cash payment (if following the Term at a time when no further reimbursements under this Agreement are owed to CHK by the General Partner) for each such forfeited
share in an amount equal to the per share amount included in a reimbursement paid by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 2.1 in respect of such share; 

 

 3 

 2.1.3 amounts paid pursuant to awards made to Executive under the MICP, as
described in Section 2.3, to the extent such payments are paid in cash by a Chesapeake Entity or, if paid in Units (as defined in the MICP), to the extent of the Chesapeake Entity’s out-of-pocket costs in acquiring such Units (which, for
the avoidance of doubt, (i) shall include any awards granted during the period in which the Executive is performing services for the General Partner (the “Shared Services Period”) but paid after such period, and
(ii) shall not include the cost of any income tax or other tax liabilities of the Chesapeake Entities with respect to the acquisition or payment of Units) (“MICP Payments”); 

2.1.4 401(k) plan administration costs, any cash expense for matching 401(k) contributions made by CHK, any deferred
compensation plan administration costs and any cash expense for deferred compensation plan matching contributions made by CHK pursuant to the terms of the Chesapeake Energy Corporation Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan and the
Chesapeake Energy Corporation Savings and Incentive Stock Bonus Plan; provided, however, that if matching 401(k) contributions and/or matching deferred compensation contributions are made by means of a contribution of either newly-issued or
treasury shares of common stock of CHK, the costs and expenses calculated with respect to each such share contributed shall be equal to the Chesapeake Trading Price (as defined below) on the date of the applicable contribution; 

2.1.5 travel requested by and on behalf of the General Partner; 

2.1.6 cash or premiums paid, or expenses incurred, with respect to vacation, sick leave, short term disability benefits
and personal leave; 
 2.1.7 medical, dental and prescription drug coverage (“Medical
Coverage”); 
 2.1.8 flexible benefits plan, including medical care and dependent care expense
reimbursement programs; 
 2.1.9 disability insurance; 

2.1.10 workers’ compensation benefits; 

2.1.11 life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment insurance; 

2.1.12 any other employee benefit customarily provided to all employees by CHK for which CHK incurs costs; 

2.1.13 all sporting event tickets furnished to Executive in a manner consistent with CHK’s practice of furnishing
such tickets to its executive employees other than Executive. The costs and expenses calculated with respect to the provision of all sporting event tickets to Executive shall be equal to the actual cost incurred based on an arms length and
non-discriminatory agreement between the Chesapeake Entities and the General Partner; provided 
  

 4 

 
that the amount of any costs and expenses reimbursable by the General Partner under this Agreement and any other agreement (including, without limitation, the Employee Secondment Agreement and
the Services Agreement, each as defined in the MLP Agreement) with respect to the provision of sporting event tickets shall not exceed $200,000 per annum in the aggregate. Notwithstanding Section 2.4 below, the costs and expenses of providing
all sporting event tickets to Executive shall be reimbursed by the General Partner on an annual basis (as opposed to a monthly basis); and 

2.1.14 any sales taxes imposed upon the provision of any taxable services provided by Executive to the General Partner
under this Agreement (provided, that the Parties contemplate that the services provided by Executive to the General Partner under this Agreement are not taxable services for sales and use tax purposes). 

For purposes of this Agreement, (i) prior to the Effective Time, “GP Reimbursement Percentage” shall mean
50%, and from and after the Effective Time, “GP Reimbursement Percentage” shall mean, with respect to a given month, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate number of hours or partial hours worked by the
Executive performing services for the General Partner during such month, by (y) the aggregate number of hours or partial hours worked by the Executive performing services for the General Partner during such month plus the aggregate number of
hours or partial hours worked by the Executive performing services for the Chesapeake Entities during such month, (ii) “Chesapeake Entities” shall mean CHK, Chesapeake Management and their affiliates (other than CMV, the
General Partner, the MLP and their subsidiaries), and (iii) “Chesapeake Trading Price” on an applicable date shall be the per share closing trading price of a share of CHK common stock on such date, as listed by the New
York Stock Exchange provided, that, if the applicable date is not a trading day, the applicable per share closing trading price shall be the per share closing trading price on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date.

 The costs and expenses described in Section 2.1.1 through 2.1.14 above are referred to as “Reimbursable
Amounts.” Where it is not reasonably practicable to determine the amount of such a cost or expense, the General Partner and CHK shall mutually agree on the method of determining or estimating such cost or expense. 

With respect to Medical Coverage, CHK shall maintain or participate in a stop loss insurance policy at a threshold coverage level of no
more than $250,000, applicable on a per covered individual basis and, in the event that Executive’s claims trigger reimbursement under such stop loss insurance policy with respect to claims incurred during the Term, the full amount of such
reimbursement will be provided to the General Partner. The cost of maintaining such stop loss insurance coverage with respect to Executive and Executive’s covered dependents shall be included in the Reimbursable Amounts. 

2.2 Excluded Costs. Except as expressly provided in Section 2.1, all costs and expenses with respect to
Executive which are incurred by CHK or which arise out of or relate to the Employment Agreement or any employee benefits or compensation plan, program or arrangement of CHK or its affiliates shall be solely the responsibility of CHK, and none of
CMV, the General Partner, the MLP or any of their subsidiaries will have any reimbursement 
  

 5 

 
obligation or other liability or obligation with respect to such costs and expenses (the “Excluded Costs”). The Excluded Costs shall include, without limitation,
(a) any and all severance or termination payments and benefits and any other Losses incurred in connection with or arising out of the termination of Executive’s employment (whether actual or constructive) with CHK or its affiliates or the
termination of Executive’s services with the General Partner, (b) any and all payments (including any acceleration of vesting) made to Executive by CHK in connection with a change of control of CHK or its affiliates, (c) any and all
restricted stock or other equity awards granted prior to or following the expiration of the Term, and (d) any and all perquisites, including, without limitation, country club or other membership dues and fees, reimbursement of legal fees and
personal use of aircraft owned, leased or chartered by CHK. CHK will indemnify, defend and hold harmless CMV, the General Partner, the MLP, the Company and their respective subsidiaries, directors, officers and employees against any and all costs,
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), claims, demands, losses, liabilities, obligations, actions, lawsuits and other proceedings, judgments and awards for the Excluded Costs or arising out of or in any way relating to the Excluded
Costs (each, a “Loss” and collectively, the “Losses”). 
 2.3
Management Incentive Compensation Plan. Chesapeake Midstream Management, L.L.C., a Delaware Limited Liability Company (“CMM”) has established the Chesapeake Midstream Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the
“MICP”) as an incentive compensation arrangement designed to promote the development and growth of the MLP. On the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of the Original Effective Date or the closing of the initial public
offering of the MLP’s common units, CHK and GIP shall consider and mutually determine whether and to what extent Executive will participate in the MICP. Any such participation by Executive shall be in lieu of awards of CHK restricted stock
provided for under the Employment Agreement which have not theretofore been granted. The General Partner shall reimburse CHK for 100% of the amounts actually paid by CMM under the MICP with respect to any awards granted to Executive thereunder
during the Shared Services Period (regardless of whether such award is actually paid during or after such period) or the amounts actually paid by any Chesapeake Entity that becomes the “Plan Sponsor” of the MICP (as defined in the MICP);
provided, however, that in the event that the Executive ceases to perform services for the General Partner but thereafter remains employed by a Chesapeake Entity, the amount of the MICP Payments reimbursable by the General Partner hereunder
shall not exceed the amount of such MICP Payments that were actually paid to the Executive and to the extent provided hereunder but multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which equals the number of days in the Shared Services Period and the
denominator of which equals the number of days in the Shared Services Period plus the number of days of the Executive’s employment with a Chesapeake Entity after the Shared Services Period through the applicable payment date under the MICP. The
reimbursement obligation described in this Section 2.3 shall cease with respect to any MICP Payments not yet made to Executive if and to the extent that CMM’s or such Affiliate’s obligations under the MICP with respect to the
Executive (or with respect to the MICP as a whole) are transferred to CMV, the MLP, the General Partner or any of their subsidiaries. 

2.4 Monthly Statement. Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar month during the Term, CHK
will send an itemized invoice (in a form mutually agreed upon by the General Partner and CHK) to the General Partner detailing the Reimbursable Amounts attributable to the General Partner and the GP Reimbursement Percentage for such calendar

  

 6 

 
month (the “Monthly Statement”). From and after the Effective Time, CHK shall cause Executive to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to keep and maintain books
and records reflecting the time spent by Executive performing services for the General Partner and the time spent by Executive performing services for CHK, and (ii) prepare a time allocation statement each month reflecting such allocation. Each
Party will have the right from time to time upon its reasonable request to audit such books and records maintained by Executive. The General Partner will pay to CHK the full Reimbursable Amounts within thirty (30) days after the General
Partner’s receipt of the Monthly Statement to the extent that the amounts therein are not disputed by the General Partner pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures provided for in that certain Amended and Restated Services Agreement,
effective as of the Effective Time of the initial public offering of the common units of the MLP, by and among Chesapeake Midstream Management, L.L.C., Chesapeake Operating, Inc., Chesapeake Midstream GP, L.L.C., Chesapeake Midstream Partners, L.P.,
and Chesapeake MLP Operating, L.L.C. (the “Dispute Mechanism”). With respect to any disputed amounts that are determined to be owing to CHK through the Dispute Mechanism, such amounts will be paid within 10 days of such
determination or at such earlier or later time as provided in the Dispute Mechanism. Any portion of the Reimbursable Amounts that is not included in the Monthly Statement for the calendar month in which those expenses were incurred shall be included
in a subsequent Monthly Statement. CHK shall use its reasonable efforts to timely bill all such expenses. 
 2.5
Compensation Increases. CHK shall not, without the express written consent of the General Partner, amend the Employment Agreement, or otherwise take or cause to be taken any action, to increase or enhance Executive’s base salary, cash
bonus, equity compensation or any other compensation or benefit which is or could become reimbursable by the General Partner under this Agreement. In the event that CHK enters into such an amendment or takes or causes to be taken any such action
without the General Partner’s express written consent, then all Reimbursable Amounts hereunder shall be calculated using compensation and employee benefits levels as in effect immediately prior to such amendment or action. In addition, CHK
shall not, without the express written consent of GIP, amend the Employment Agreement, or otherwise take or cause to be taken any action, to increase or enhance Executive’s base salary, cash bonus, equity compensation or any other compensation
or benefit for services performed by Executive with respect to CMD (whether or not reimbursable by the General Partner under this Agreement). 

2.6 Records. CHK will prepare, maintain, and retain complete and accurate books and records regarding the
calculation of the Reimbursable Amounts for the longer of the period required by generally accepted accounting principles or applicable law. 

2.7 Audits. The General Partner will have the right, upon reasonable notice, and at all reasonable times during
CHK’s usual business hours, to audit, examine, and make copies at the General Partner’s sole expense of the books and records prepared by CHK in accordance with Section 2.6. CHK will review and respond in a timely manner to any claims
or inquiries made by the General Partner regarding matters revealed by any such examination or audit. 
 2.8
Performance Review. CHK and GIP shall review Executive’s performance at least semi-annually in accordance with CHK’s performance review cycle generally applicable to 

 

 7 

 
executives of CHK, and, in connection therewith, shall consider whether discretionary increases to Executive’s base salary, annual bonus and equity-awards are appropriate. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any such increases shall be in the sole discretion of CHK and GIP (as mutually determined) and the Parties shall have no obligation to provide any such increases. 

ARTICLE III. 

TERMINATION 

3.1 General. The Parties may terminate this Agreement as follows: (i) by mutual agreement; (ii) by
General Partner for any reason on 30 days prior written notice to CHK; or (iii) subject to Section 3.2 below, by the non-breaching Party in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by the other Party. This Agreement shall
automatically terminate without further action by any Party in the event of a termination or resignation of Executive’s employment with CHK and its affiliates for any reason or at such time as Executive’s employment is transferred to the
General Partner on a full time basis and Executive ceases to provide services to CHK. In the event of any termination of this Agreement which does not involve Executive’s continued employment with the General Partner (including, without
limitation, by reason of a unilateral determination by GIP or mutual agreement of GIP and CHK that Executive shall no longer provide services to the General Partner), Executive shall thereupon cease to serve as an employee or officer of the General
Partner, and Executive’s employment shall revert exclusively to the CHK Entities. 
 3.2 Termination for
Material Breach. If either Party defaults by the failure to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement, the other Party may terminate this Agreement by giving at least 30 days prior written notice to the defaulting Party,
specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the default, unless the defaulting Party remedies the default within the 30 day period. This provision will not constitute an election of remedies by either Party, and each Party will have and retain all
rights and remedies that may be available at law or in equity in the event of breach or default by the other Party. 

3.3 Effect of Termination. All rights and obligations under this Agreement will cease as between such Parties as
of the date on which this Agreement is terminated, except for (i) obligations and rights that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, (ii) rights, liabilities, and obligations that have accrued prior to such termination,
including the obligation to pay any amounts that have become due and payable prior to such termination, and (iii) the obligation to pay any portion of the Reimbursable Amounts that has accrued prior to such termination, even if such portion has
not become due and payable at that time. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Article or otherwise shall not impair, impede or otherwise adversely affect any
right, claim or cause of action that a Party may have arising prior to or as a result of that termination including, without limitation, the right to obtain and receive any payment.

benefit or privilege to any such entity. Except as set forth in this Section 4.1, the provisions of this Agreement are enforceable solely by the Parties, and no limited partner, member, or assignee of a Chesapeake Entity, or the MLP Group or
other person or entity (including Executive or other employee or service provider of any Party or any affiliate thereof) shall have the right, separate and apart from the Parties, the Chesapeake Entities, CMV and the members of the MLP Group, to

the performance by such person or entity of the same or any other obligations of such person or entity hereunder. Failure on the part of a Party to complain of any act of any person or entity or to declare any other Party in default, irrespective of

specified in the Demand Notice (the “Demand Registration”).

Within two (2) Trading Days of the receipt of the Demand Notice, the Partnership shall give written notice of such Demand Notice to all Holders and shall, subject to the limitations of this Section 2(a), file a Registration Statement
covering all of the Registrable Securities that the Holders shall in writing request (such request to be given to the Partnership within three (3) days of receipt of such notice of the Demand Notice given by the Partnership pursuant to this
Section 2(a)(ii)) to be included in such Demand Registration as promptly as practicable as directed by the Initiating Holder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Demand Notice and use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause

price of not less than $50 million. 
 (iii) Subject to the other limitations contained in
this Agreement, the Partnership is not obligated hereunder to effect more than (A) one (1) Demand Registration on Form S-1 (or any equivalent or successor form under the Securities Act) in any twelve (12) month period;
provided, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Partnership shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration on Form S-1 (or any equivalent or successor form under the Securities Act) that is not
requested by a Sponsor or a Special Successor; and (B) two (2) Demand Registrations on Form S-3 (or any equivalent or successor form under the Securities Act) in any twelve (12) month period.

reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (B) for a period of up to ninety (90) days after 

 

 6 

 
the date of a Demand Notice for registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) if at the time of such request (1) the Partnership is engaged, or has fixed plans with the approval of a
simple majority of the Board of Directors of the General Partner to engage, within ninety (90) days of the time of such Demand Notice, in a firm commitment underwritten public offering of Common Units in which the Holders of Registrable
Securities include Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(b), or (2) the Partnership is currently engaged in a self-tender or exchange offer and the filing of a Registration Statement would cause a violation of the Exchange Act; or
(C) for a period of up to ninety (90) days, if (1) the General Partner determines that a postponement is in the best interest of the Partnership and its Limited Partners generally due to a pending transaction or (2) the General
Partner determines that a postponement is in the best interest of the Partnership due to an investigation or other event (any such period, a “Suspension Period”); provided, however, that in no event shall the
Partnership postpone or defer any Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2(a)(iv) and/or Section 7(f) for more than an aggregate of one hundred and eighty (180) days in any twelve (12) month period. 

(v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2(a), if (A) the Holders intend to
distribute the Registrable Securities covered by a Demand Registration by means of an underwriting and (B) the managing underwriter advises the Partnership that the inclusion of all of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in the subject
Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the timing or success of the offering, then the Partnership shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of
Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating
Holders). Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration. 

(vi) The Partnership may include in any such Demand Registration other Partnership Securities for sale for
its own account or for the account of any other Person; provided that if the managing underwriter for the offering determines that the number of Partnership Securities proposed to be offered in such offering would have a material adverse
effect on the timing or success of such offering, then the Registrable Securities to be sold by the Holders shall be included in such registration before any Partnership Securities proposed to be sold for the account of the Partnership or any other
Person. 
 (vii) Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, the Partnership shall
effect any Demand Registration on Form S-3 (except if the Partnership is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such Demand Registration shall be effected on another appropriate form for such
purpose pursuant to the Securities Act) and if the Partnership becomes, and is at the time of its receipt of a Demand Notice, a WKSI, the Demand Registration for any offering and selling of Registrable Securities through a firm commitment
underwriting shall be effected pursuant to an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, which shall be on Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form under the Securities Act (if available to the Partnership); provided, however, that if
at any time a Registration Statement on Form S-3 
  

 7 

 
is effective and a Holder provides written notice to the Partnership that it intends to effect an offering of all or part of the Registrable Securities included on such Registration Statement,
the Partnership will amend or supplement such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such offering to take place. 

(viii) Without limiting Section 3, in connection with any Demand Registration pursuant to and in
accordance with this Section 2(a), the Partnership shall, (A) promptly prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed (1) such additional forms, amendments, supplements, prospectuses, certificates, letters, opinions and other
documents, as may be necessary or advisable to register or qualify the securities subject to such Demand Registration, including under the securities laws of such states as the Holders 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 in such jurisdiction solely as a result of
registration and (2) such forms, amendments, supplements, prospectuses, certificates, letters, opinions and other documents as may be necessary to apply for listing or to list the Registrable Securities subject to such Demand Registration on
the Trading Market and (B) do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or appropriate or reasonably requested by the Holders to enable the Holders to consummate a public sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended timing and method or methods of distribution thereof. 
 (ix) In the event a Holder
transfers Registrable Securities included on a Registration Statement and such Registrable Securities remain Registrable Securities following such transfer, at the request of such Holder, the Partnership shall amend or supplement such Registration
Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such transferee to offer and sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. 

(x) The Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to become eligible to use Form S-3 and,
after becoming eligible to use Form S-3, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remain eligible to use Form S-3, including by timely filing all reports with the Commission and meeting the other requirements of the Exchange Act. 

(b) Piggyback Registration. 

(i) If the Partnership shall at any time propose to file a Registration Statement, other than pursuant to
any Demand Registration, for an offering of Partnership Securities for cash (whether in connection with a public offering of Partnership Securities by the Partnership, a public offering of Partnership Securities by unitholders, or both, but
excluding an offering relating solely to an employee benefit plan, an offering relating to a transaction on Form S-4 or an offering on any registration statement form that does not permit secondary sales), the Partnership shall promptly notify all
Holders of such proposal reasonably in advance of (and in any event at least two (2) Trading Days before) the anticipated filing date (the “Piggyback Notice”). The Piggyback Notice shall offer the Holders the opportunity
to include for registration in such Registration Statement the 
  

 8 

 
number of Registrable Securities as they may request (a “Piggyback Registration”). The Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include in each such
Piggyback Registration such Registrable Securities for which the Partnership has received written requests within three (3) days after mailing of the Piggyback Notice (“Piggyback Request”) for inclusion therein. If a
Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement thereafter filed by the Partnership, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent
registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Partnership with respect to offerings of Partnership Securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

(ii) If the Registration Statement under which the Partnership gives notice under this Section 2(b)
is for an underwritten offering, the Partnership shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be conditioned upon such
Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such
underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Partnership. If the managing underwriter or managing underwriters of such offering advise the
Partnership and the Holders in writing that in their reasonable opinion that the inclusion of all of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in the subject Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the timing or success of the
offering, the Partnership shall include in such offering only that number or amount, if any, of Registrable Securities held by the Holders that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriter or managing underwriters, will not have a material
adverse effect on the timing or success of the offering, with any reduction in the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered applied pro-rata among all Holders desiring to register Registrable Securities based on the number of Registrable
Securities owned by each such Holder of the class (or classes) for which registration is being sought and, as to any other holders of Partnership Securities who may be seeking to register such Partnership Securities, with such reduction applied
first, subject to the rights of any holder that has priority by virtue of an any agreement approved in accordance with Section 2(f) below, to the amount of Partnership Securities sought to be registered by such other holders. If any Holder
disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Partnership and the managing underwriter(s) delivered on or prior to the time of pricing of such offering. Any Registrable
Securities withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity, the partners, members, stockholders, subsidiaries,
parents and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners/members and retired partners/members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and
any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of securities carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this
sentence. 
  

 9 

 (iii) The Partnership shall have the right to terminate or
withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2(b) prior to the Effective Date of such Registration Statement whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement. The
registration expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Partnership in accordance with Section 4 hereof. 

(c) All registration rights granted under this Section 2 shall continue to be applicable with respect to any Holder
for so long as may be required for each such Holder to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder (without any limitation on volume, timing, recipients or intended method or methods of distribution, including through the use of an
underwriter, that would not be applicable with a registration under the Securities Act). 
 (d) Any Demand
Notice or Piggyback Request shall (i) specify the Registrable Securities intended to be offered and sold by the Holder making the request, (ii) express such Holder’s present intent to offer such Registrable Securities for
distribution, (iii) describe the nature or method of the proposed offer and sale of Registrable Securities and (iv) contain the undertaking of such Holder to provide all such information and materials and take all action as may reasonably
be required in order to permit the Partnership to comply with all applicable requirements in connection with the registration of such Registrable Securities. 

(e) No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such
registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2. 

(f) The Partnership has not entered into and, unless agreed in writing by each of the Sponsors and any Special Successor,
on or after the date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement which (a) is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders with respect to Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions
hereof in any material respect or (b) would allow any holder of Partnership Securities to include Partnership Securities in any Registration Statement filed by the Partnership on a basis that is superior or more favorable in any material
respect to the rights granted to the Holders hereunder. 
 3. Registration Procedures. 

The procedures to be followed by the Partnership and each Holder electing to sell Registrable Securities in a
Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement, and the respective rights and obligations of the Partnership and such Holders, with respect to the preparation, filing and effectiveness of such Registration Statement, are as follows: 

(a) The Partnership will, at least three (3) days prior to the anticipated filing of a Registration Statement or any
related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than amendments and supplements that do nothing more than name Holders and provide information with respect thereto), (i) unless available to the Holders through public filings
with the Commission, furnish to such Holders copies of all such documents proposed to be filed and (ii) use its reasonable efforts to address in each such document when so filed with the Commission such comments as such a Sponsor or Special
Successor reasonably shall propose within two (2) days of the delivery of such copies to the Sponsors and Special Successors.

as reasonably possible (i) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary under
applicable law to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered thereby for its Effectiveness Period and, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, prepare
and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented
by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; and (iii) respond to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and,
as promptly as reasonably possible provide such Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement that pertains to such Holders as selling Holders but not any comments that
would result in the disclosure to such Holders of material and non-public information concerning the Partnership. 

(c) The Partnership will comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
with respect to the Registration Statements and the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement. 

(d) The Partnership will notify such Holders as promptly as reasonably practicable: (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Partnership whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and
whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (in which case the Partnership shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of such Holders that pertain to such Holders as
selling Holders, but not information which the Partnership believes would constitute material and non-public information); and (C) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has been
declared effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information that pertains to such Holders
as sellers of Registrable Securities; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for
that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Partnership of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or
threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of (but not the nature or details concerning) any event or passage of time that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the
Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading (provided, however, that no notice by the Partnership shall be required pursuant to this clause (v) in the 

 

 11 

 
event that the Partnership either promptly files a prospectus supplement to update the Prospectus or a Form 8-K or other appropriate Exchange Act report that is incorporated by reference into the
Registration Statement, which in either case, contains the requisite information that results in such Registration Statement no longer containing any untrue statement of material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading). 
 (e) The
Partnership will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or
exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment, or if any such order or suspension is made effective during any Suspension Period, at the earliest practicable
moment after the Suspension Period is over. 
 (f) During the Effectiveness Period, the Partnership will furnish
to each such Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Holder (including those incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing
of such documents with the Commission; provided, that the Partnership will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system. 

(g) The Partnership will promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus or
Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request during the Effectiveness Period. The Partnership consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement
thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto. 

(h) The Partnership will cooperate with such Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends indicating that the Registrable Securities are unregistered or unqualified for
resale under the Securities Act, Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request in writing. In connection therewith,
if required by the Partnership’s transfer agent, the Partnership will promptly, after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be delivered to and
maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without any such legend upon
sale by the Holder of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. 
 (i) Upon the occurrence
of any event contemplated by Section 3(d)(v), as promptly as reasonably possible, the Partnership will prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, if required by applicable law, to the affected Registration
Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to 
  

 12 

 
be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

(j) Such Holders may distribute the Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering; provided that
(i) such Holders provide written notice to the Partnership of their intention to distribute Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering, (ii) the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in
such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein, (iii) the managing underwriter
or managing underwriters thereof shall be designated by the Initiating Holder in the case of a Demand Registration (provided, however, that such designated managing underwriter or managing underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to
the Partnership) or by the Partnership in the case of a registration initiated by the Partnership, (iv) each Holder participating in such underwritten offering agrees to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form and sell such
Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled to select the managing underwriter or managing underwriters hereunder and (v) each Holder participating in such
underwritten offering completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. The Partnership hereby agrees with
each Holder that, in connection with any underwritten offering in accordance with the terms hereof, it will negotiate in good faith and execute all indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements, including using all commercially reasonable efforts to procure customary legal opinions and auditor “comfort” letters. 

(k) In the event such Holders seek to complete an underwritten offering, for a reasonable period prior to the filing of
any Registration Statement and throughout the Effectiveness Period, the Partnership will make available upon reasonable notice at the Partnership’s principal place of business or such other reasonable place for inspection by the managing
underwriter or managing underwriters selected in accordance with Section 3(j) such financial and other information and books and records of the Partnership, and cause the officers, employees, counsel and independent certified public accountants
of the Partnership to respond to such inquiries, as shall be reasonably necessary (and in the case of counsel, not violate an attorney-client privilege in such counsel’s reasonable belief) to conduct a reasonable investigation within the
meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act. 
 (l) In connection with any registration of Registrable
Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Partnership will take all commercially reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities by such Holders, including using
commercially reasonable efforts to cause appropriate officers and employees to be available, on a customary basis and upon reasonable notice, to meet with prospective investors in presentations, meetings and road shows. 

 

 13 

 4. Registration Expenses. All Registration Expenses incident
to the Parties’ performance of or compliance with their respective obligations under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration (excluding any Selling Expenses) shall be borne by the
Partnership, whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. “Registration Expenses” shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including fees and
expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with the Trading Market and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws), (ii) printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates
for Partnership Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses,
(iv) fees and disbursements of counsel, auditors and accountants for the Partnership, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Partnership so desires such insurance and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the
Partnership in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Partnership shall be responsible for all of its expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (including expenses payable to third parties and including all salaries and expenses of their officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on the Trading Market. 
 5.
Indemnification. If requested by a Holder, the Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless each underwriter, if any, engaged in connection with any registration referred to in Section 2 and provide representations, covenants,
opinions and other assurances to any underwriter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such underwriter and the Partnership. Further, in addition to and not in limitation of the Partnership’s obligations under Section 7.7 of the
LP Agreement, the Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers and directors and any Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any agent
thereof (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, costs (including reasonable costs of
preparation and reasonable attorneys’ 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 Indemnified Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, under the Securities Act or otherwise (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating
to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which any Registrable Securities were registered, in any preliminary prospectus (if used prior to the Effective Date of such Registration
Statement), or in any summary or final prospectus or free writing 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, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, 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 or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
such Registration Statement, such preliminary, summary or final prospectus or free 
  

 14 

 
writing 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. The Partnership shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Partnership is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 5 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement indefinitely. 

6. Facilitation of Sales Pursuant to Rule 144. To the extent it shall be required to do so under the
Exchange Act, the Partnership shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule
144), and shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of
the exemption provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder in connection with that Holder’s sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Partnership shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such
requirements. 
 7. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Partnership of any of its obligations under this Agreement, each
Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Partnership agrees that monetary
damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it
shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
 (b) Discontinued Disposition. Each
Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Partnership of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in clauses (ii) through (v) of Section 3(d), such Holder will
forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemental Prospectus or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing by
the Partnership that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or
Registration Statement. The Partnership may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this Section 7(b). 
  

 15 

 (c) Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be
waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Parties. The Partnership shall provide prior notice to all Holders of any proposed waiver or amendment. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement
of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any Party to exercise any right
hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. 
 (d) Notices. Any and all notices or
other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via
facsimile or electronic mail as specified in this Section 7(d) prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on a Business Day, (ii) the Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile
or electronic mail as specified in this Agreement later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on such date, (iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by
nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as follows:

 or such other address as may be designated in writing hereafter, in the same manner, by such Person. 

(e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto
and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. Except as provided in this Section 7(e), this Agreement, and any rights or obligations hereunder, may not be assigned without the prior written
consent of the Partnership and the Sponsors and any Special Successors. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the registration rights of a Holder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to all or any portion of its Registrable
Securities may be assigned without such consent (but only with all related obligations) with respect to such Registrable Securities (and any Registrable Securities issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, in exchange for or in
replacement of such Registrable Securities) by such Holder to a transferee of such 
  

 17 

 
Registrable Securities; 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 Registrable Securities 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 Agreement. The
Partnership may not assign its respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of the Sponsors and any Special Successors. 

(f) “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. In connection with any underwritten offering of Partnership
Securities, each Holder holding five percent (5%) or more of the Partnership’s voting securities (each a “5% Holder”) hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for
the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale of, any Partnership Securities held by such Holder (other than those included in such offering) for a period specified by the representative of
the underwriters of Partnership Securities not to exceed ninety (90) days following the closing date of the offering of Partnership Securities (the “Stand-Off Period”); provided that all officers and directors of
the General Partner and holders of at least five percent (5%) of the Partnership’s voting securities enter into similar agreements and only if such Persons remain subject thereto (and are not released from such agreement) for such
Stand-Off Period. Each 5% Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Partnership or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto.
In addition, if requested by the Partnership or the representative of the underwriters of Partnership Securities, each Holder shall provide, within three (3) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Partnership or such
representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Partnership Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement. The obligations described in this Section 7(f) shall not apply to a registration relating solely to
employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Partnership may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to Common Units (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the Stand-Off Period. 

(g) Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when
so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile or electronic mail transmission, such signature shall create a valid
binding obligation of the Party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such signature delivered by facsimile or electronic mail transmission were the original thereof. 

(h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of law. 
 (i) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of
the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and any appellate court from and thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement, or for the recognition or enforcement of 
  

 18 

 
any judgment, and each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Delaware court or, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. The Parties agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. 
 (j) Waiver of Venue. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 7(i) and
(ii) the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(k) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by
law. 
 (l) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated, and the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby
stipulated and declared to be the intention of the Parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or
unenforceable. 
 (m) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents,
constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof and the matters addressed or governed hereby or in the other
Transaction Documents, whether oral or written. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Agreement is being executed and delivered in connection with each of the other Transaction Documents and
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) the performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and expected benefits herefrom and therefrom are a material inducement to the willingness of the Parties to enter into
and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions described herein and therein, (iii) the Parties would not have been willing to enter into this Agreement in the absence of the entrance into, performance of,
and the economic interdependence of, the Transaction Documents, (iv) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto are interrelated and part of
an integrated transaction being effected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (v) irrespective of the form such documents have taken, or otherwise, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents are necessary elements of one and the same overall and integrated transaction, (vi) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the other Transaction Documents are economically interdependent and
(vii) such Party will cause any of its successors or permitted assigns to expressly acknowledge and agree to this Section 7(m) prior to any assignment or transfer of this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.
