                                         Dispute exists, does not obligate Buyer to engage a collection agency or commence a legal
                                         action to collect any Receivable. Seller acknowledges that Buyer is not a collection

                                         to repurchase any Receivable pursuant to Section 4 herein.

                                         In the event, that., as a result of the disposition of any of the Collateral, Buyer directly

                                         thereof until the actual receipt by Buyer of good funds therefore from such third party.

 

		9.3.	Online Access. Upon an
                                         Event of Default, all of Seller’s rights and access to any online internet services
                                         that Buyer makes available to Seller shall be provisional pending Seller’s curing
                                         of all such Events of Default. During such period of time, Buyer may limit or terminate
                                         Seller’s access to online services. Seller acknowledges that the information Buyer
                                         makes available to Seller through online internet access, both before and after an Event
                                         of Default, constitutes and satisfies any duty to respond to a request for accounting
                                         or request regarding a statement of account that is referenced in the UCC.

 

		9.4.	Standards of Commercial Reasonableness.
                                         Buyer shall use commercial reasonable efforts to collect Accounts provided that there
                                         is no Dispute with respect to the Account which Buyer seeks to collect. Furthermore,
                                         in the event. Buyer undertakes to collect or enforce an obligation of an Account Debtor
                                         or any other person obligated on the Collateral and ascertains that the possibility of
                                         collection is outweighed by the likely costs and expenses that will be incurred, Buyer
                                         may at any such time cease any further collection efforts and such action shall be considered
                                         commercially reasonable. Before Seller may, under any circumstances, seek to hold Buyer
                                         responsible for taking any uncommercially reasonable action, Seller shall first notify
                                         Buyer in writing, of all of the reasons why Seller believes Buyer has acted in any uncommercially
                                         reasonable manner and advise Buyer of the action that Seller believes Buyer should take.

 

		9.5.	Formation of New Entity.
                                         In the event Seller or any one or more of its principals, officers or directors during
                                         the term of this Agreement or while Seller remains liable to Buyer for any of the Obligations,
                                         (i) forms a new entity; or (ii) has failed to disclose to Buyer at the time of the Effective
                                         Date of this Agreement an existing entity, that does business similar to that of Seller,
                                         whether in the form of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or otherwise,
                                         such entity shall be deemed to have expressly assumed the obligations due Buyer by Seller
                                         under the Agreement. Upon the formation of any such entity, Buyer, in addition to all
                                         of its available remedies, shall be deemed to have been granted an irrevocable power
                                         of attorney with authority to file a new financing statement with the appropriate secretary
                                         of state or UCC filing office naming the newly formed successor business or undisclosed
                                         existing business, as a debtor or new debtor. Buyer shall have the right to notify the
                                         successor entity’s or undisclosed existing entity’s Account Debtors of Buyer’s
                                         security interest, its right to collect all Accounts, and to notify any new secured party
                                         who has sought to obtain a competing security interest of Buyer’s right in such
                                         entity’s assets. Seller shall indemnify Buyer, pursuant to Section 13.3 herein,
                                         from any claims against Buyer which arises out of Buyer exercising any of its rights
                                         hereunder.

 

		9.6.	Remedies
                                         Cumulative. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, Buyer
                                         shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a secured party under the UCC and
                                         under any and all other applicable laws and in any other instrument or agreement now
                                         or hereafter entered into between Buyer and Seller and all of such rights and remedies
                                         are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by Buyer of one or
                                         more of its rights of remedies shall not be deemed an election, nor bar Buyer from subsequent
                                         exercise or partial exercise of any other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of
                                         Buyer to exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all
                                         rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations
                                         have been fully paid and performed.

		13.8	Electronic
                                         Signature. The parties intend to conduct, the business contemplated by this Agreement
                                         by electronic means. Each document, which is the subject of this Agreement, that a party
                                         has transmitted electronically to the other shall be intended as and constitute an original
                                         and deemed to contain a valid signature of the party for all purposes acknowledging,
                                         consenting to, authorizing and approving the terms of this Agreement or any subject matter
                                         applicable thereto. In furtherance of the above, Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to regard
                                         the Seller’s printed name or electronic approval for any document, agreement, assignment
                                         schedule or invoice as the equivalent of a manual signature by one of the Seller’s
                                         authorized officers or agents. Seller’s failure to promptly deliver to Buyer any
                                         schedule, report, statement or other information required by this Agreement or any document
                                         related thereto shall not affect, diminish, modify or otherwise limit Buyer’s security
                                         interests in the Collateral or rights and remedies under this Agreement. Buyer may rely
                                         upon, and assume the authenticity of, any such approval and material applicable to such
                                         approval as the duly confirmed, authorized and approved signature of Seller by the person
                                         approving same which constitute an Authenticated Record for purposes of the UCC and shall
                                         satisfy the requirements of any applicable statute of frauds.

 

		13.9	Section Headings Construction.
                                         Section headings are used herein for convenience only. Seller acknowledges that the same
                                         may not. describe completely the subject matter of the applicable Section, and the same
                                         shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit, define or interpret any term or provision
                                         hereof. This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the parties and
                                         no uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed
                                         strictly against Buyer or Seller under any rule of construction or otherwise.

		13.10	Limitation of Actions.
                                         Seller agrees that any claim or cause of action by Seller against Buyer, its directors,
                                         officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, based upon, arising from, or relating
                                         to this Agreement, or any other present or future agreement, or any other transaction
                                         contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other matter, cause
                                         or thing whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Buyer, its directors,
                                         officers, employees, agents, accountants, or attorneys, relating in any way to Seller,
                                         shall be barred unless asserted by Seller by the commencement of an action or proceeding
                                         in a court of competent jurisdiction by the filing of a complaint within six (6) months
                                         after the first, act, occurrence or omission upon which such claim or cause of action,
                                         or any part thereof, is based, and the service of a summons and complaint on an officer
                                         of Buyer, or on any other person authorized to accept service on behalf of Buyer, within
                                         thirty (30) days thereafter. Seller agrees that such six-month period provided herein
                                         shall not be waived, tolled, or extended except by the written consent of Buyer, in its
                                         sole and absolute discretion. This provision shall survive any termination, however arising,
                                         of this Agreement and any other present or future agreement.

 

		13.11	Severability. Should
                                         any provision, clause or condition of this Agreement be held by any court of competent
                                         jurisdiction to be void, invalid, inoperative, or otherwise unenforceable, such defect
                                         shall not affect any other provision, clause or condition, and the remainder of this
                                         Agreement shall be effective as though such defective provision, clause or condition
                                         had not been a part hereof.

 

		13.12	Integration. This Agreement
                                         and such other written agreements, documents and instruments as may be executed in connection
                                         herewith shall be construed together and constitute the entire, only and complete agreement
                                         between Seller and Buyer, and all representations, warranties, agreements, and undertakings
                                         heretofore or contemporaneously made, which are not set forth herein or therein, are
                                         superseded hereby.

 

		13.13	Amendment. The terms
                                         and provisions of this Agreement may not be waived, altered, modified or amended except
                                         in a writing executed by Seller and a duly authorized officer of Buyer.

 

		13.14	Time of Essence. Time
                                         is of the essence in the performance by Seller of each and every obligation under this
                                         Agreement.

 

		13.15	Governing Laws jurisdiction:
                                         Venue. This Agreement and all acts and transactions hereunder and thereunder and
                                         all rights and obligations of buyer and Seller shall be governed, construed and interpreted
                                         in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California. Seller: (i) agrees that,
                                         all actions or proceedings relating directly or indirectly this Agreement or any of the
                                         Obligations shall, at the sole option of Buyer, be litigated in courts located within
                                         said state, and that, at the sole option of Buyer, the exclusive venue therefore shall
                                         be Santa Clara County, California; (ii) consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any

		13.16	Waiver of Right to any Trial/
                                         Judicial Reference/ Arbitration.

 

		13.16.1  	Jury Waiver.
                                         To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer and Seller each hereby irrevocably
                                         and expressly waive all right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or cross-complaint
                                         (whether based upon contract, tort, or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this
                                         Agreement, the obligations or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
                                         or the parties’ actions in the negotiation, administration, or enforcement hereof or
                                         thereof. Buyer and Seller each acknowledges that such waiver is made with full knowledge
                                         and understanding of the nature of the rights and benefits waived hereby, and with the
                                         benefit of advice of counsel of its choosing.

 

		13.16.2  	Judicial Reference.
                                         Buyer and Seller each prefer that any dispute between them be resolved in litigation
                                         subject to the jury trial waiver set forth herein, but the California Supreme Court has
                                         held that such pre-dispute jury trial waivers are unenforceable. This section will be
                                         applicable until: (a) the California Supreme Court holds that a pre-dispute jury trail
                                         waiver provision similar to that contained herein is valid or enforceable; or (b) the
                                         California legislature passes legislation and the governor of the State of California
                                         signs into law a statute authorizing pre-dispute jury trial waivers and as a result such
                                         waivers become enforceable.

 

Accordingly,
Buyer and Seller each knowingly and voluntarily agree that any civil action or proceeding involving a dispute arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, shall be tried solely through a judicial reference as provided in sections 638 through 645.2 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure ("CCP") and as described herein (the “Judicial Reference”). Buyer and
Seller further realize that by agreeing to Judicial Reference as provided in CCP sections 638 through 645.2, the parties will
have waived their rights to trial by jury.

 

Buyer
and Seller each further agree that the referee shall be a retired Judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement of the
parties. If the parties do not agree, the referee shall be selected by the Trial Court. Buyer and Seller further agree that the
filing of any law and motion hearings or the initiation of any hearings to obtain any form of a pre-judgment remedy shall not
operate as a waiver of the parties’ right to trial solely through a Judicial Reference.

 

A
request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and Buyer and Seller agree that irreparable
harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. The referee shall be appointed to sit with all the powers provided by law.
The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State
of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference
proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, provide all temporary or provisional remedies,
enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a trial, including
without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision pursuant to CCP
section 644 and the referee's decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action
had been tried by the Court. The final judgment or order entered by the referee shall be fully appealable as provided by law.
Buyer and Seller reserve the right to receive findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the
right to move for a new trial, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.

 

		13.16.3	Arbitration. Although
                                         Buyer and Seller each prefer that any dispute between them be resolved solely through
                                         a bench trial or the Judicial Reference as set forth in this section, the California
                                         Supreme Court has held that a trial court may refuse to enforce a Judicial Reference
                                         agreement, and deny a motion for appointment of a referee under CCP section 638, where
                                         there is a possibility of conflicting rulings on a common issue of law or fact, or based
                                         on considerations of judicial economy specifically, the duplication of efforts, increased
                                         costs, potential delays in resolution, and an unmitigated burden on the Superior Court.

 

    	 	Page 9 of 11	 

     

    

 

Accordingly,
if the trial court refuses to enforce the appointment of a judicial referee (and no successor statute is enacted) Buyer and Seller
knowingly and voluntarily agree to submit and settle any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of relating to this Agreement
to arbitration. This Agreement to submit to arbitration is presently effective but shall be enforced only in the event that the
Jury Waiver and the Judicial Reference provision as set forth above and as provided in CCP sections 638 through 645.1, is held
unenforceable. The arbitration shall be conducted in Santa Clara, County, in the State of California and administered by a retired
Judge or Justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties who shall be governed by the same procedure as if the parties
were proceeding by the above Judicial Reference procedure. Buyer and Seller further agree that the filing of any law and motion
hearings or the initiation of any hearings to obtain any form of a pre-judgment remedy shall not operate as a waiver of the parties’
right to submit and settle any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of relating to this Agreement to arbitration.

 

The
arbitration procedure shall be governed by the substantive and procedural laws of the State of California, including all aspects
of its arbitration law pursuant to the California Arbitration Act (“CAA”), sections 1280 through 1294.2 of the Code
of Civil Procedure as amended from time to time. If a conflict exists between the provisions of the CAA and this Agreement, the
language of this Agreement shall control. Buyer and Seller shall have all rights of discovery and remedies as they would in a
California civil action pursuant to CCP section 1283.05, and the arbitration shall be governed by all of the applicable rules
set forth in the Civil Discovery Act, CCP sections 2016.010 through 2036.050. All rules of evidence applicable to proceedings
at law in the State of California will be applicable to the arbitration proceeding and the arbitrator is at all times required
to strictly conform to these rules. The arbitrator shall prepare in writing and provide to the parties an award including factual
findings explaining the reasons on which their decision is based.

 

The
arbitrator shall not have the power to commit (a) errors of law or legal reasoning, (b) errors of fact, or (c) errors with regards
to mixed questions of law and fact. In addition, the arbitrator shall not reach factual conclusions unsupported by substantial
evidence. Furthermore, the arbitrator shall not have the power to render an award (a) not based on proper admissible evidence,
(b) based on evidence not presented at the hearing, or (c) not in conformity with the substantive and procedural law of the State
of California.

 

In
any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator is not empowered to award punitive or exemplary damages,
except where permitted by statute, and Buyer and Seller waive any right to recover any such damages.

 

If
the arbitrator exceeds any of the foregoing specific powers, the award may be vacated or corrected by filing a petition pursuant
to the CAA in the time frame provided in CCP sections 1280 through 1294.2 in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles,
in the State, of California. The award is subject to review for legal error, factual error, confirmation, correction or vacatur
only in a California State Court of competent jurisdiction and only pursuant to the CAA.

 

In
reviewing the award, the Superior Court shall sit as if it were an Appellate Court, in all respects, including but not limited
to the scope of review. The decision of the Superior Court is, itself, subject to review by the California Appellate Courts. The
supervising Court shall have the power to review (a) whether the findings of fact rendered by the arbitrators are supported by
substantial evidence and (b) whether, as a matter of law based on such findings of fact the award should be confirmed, corrected
or vacated. Upon such determination, judgment shall be entered in favor of either party consistent therewith.

 

If
any portion of this arbitration provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall still be valid and enforceable
and the arbitrator and/or supervising Court as applicable shall have the power to amend the arbitration procedures set forth herein
so that this Agreement shall remain enforceable and binding.

 

Buyer
and Seller each acknowledge that the judicial referee or arbitrator will charge fees and costs to conduct the Judicial Reference
or arbitration. Buyer and Seller each agree to initially divide equally all Judicial Reference or arbitration fees and the compensation
of the judicial referee or arbitrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties each further acknowledge that the judicial
referee or arbitrator may decide that one party or the other is the prevailing party in which event the non-prevailing party will
be obligated to reimburse the prevailing party for all of the fees and costs imposed in connection with the Judicial Reference
or the arbitration.

Subject to the following and applicable law, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may delegate any or all of its powers and duties under the Plan, including the power to grant Awards under the Plan, to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, subject to such limitations on such delegated powers and duties as the Committee may impose, if any. Upon any such delegation all references in the Plan to the “Committee”, other than in Section 7, shall be deemed to include the Chief Executive Officer; provided, however, that such delegation shall not limit the Chief Executive Officer’s right to receive Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer may not grant Awards to, or take any action with respect to any Award previously granted to, a person who is an officer subject to Rule 16b-3 or a member of the Board. Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, and in addition to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Committee by the Plan, the Committee shall have full power and authority to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to a Participant; (iii) determine the number of Units to be covered by Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award; (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances Awards may be settled, exercised, canceled, or forfeited; (vi) interpret and administer the Plan and 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 (viii) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or an Award Agreement in such manner and to such extent as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with 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 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 3,883,960.  Units withheld from an Award to satisfy the exercise price of such Award or the Company’s or an Affiliate’s minimum tax withholding obligations with respect to the Award shall not be considered to be Units delivered under the Plan for this purpose.  If any Award is forfeited, cancelled, exercised, or otherwise terminates or expires without the actual delivery of Units pursuant to such Award, the Units subject to such Award shall again be available for Awards under the Plan.  There shall not be any limitation on the number of Awards that may be granted and paid in cash.
(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.  With respect to any “equity restructuring” event that could result in an additional compensation expense to the Company or the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 718 if adjustments to Awards with respect to such event were discretionary, the Committee shall equitably adjust the number and type of 

3

Units (or other securities or property) covered by each outstanding Award and the terms and conditions, including the exercise price and performance criteria (if any), of such Award to equitably reflect such event and shall adjust the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan after such event.  With respect to any other similar event that would not result in an accounting charge under ASC Topic 718 if the adjustment to Awards with respect to such event were subject to discretionary action, the Committee shall have complete discretion to adjust Awards and the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan in such manner as it deems appropriate with respect to such other event.
Section 5.    Eligibility.
Any Employee, Consultant or Director who performs services, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership shall be eligible to be designated a Participant and receive an Award under the Plan.
Section 6.    Awards.
(a)    Options.  The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Options shall be granted, the number of Units to be covered by each Option, whether DERs are granted with respect to such Option, the purchase price therefor and the Restricted Period and other conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option, including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.
(i)     Exercise Price.  The exercise price per Unit purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted but, except with respect to a Substitute Award, may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of the date of grant of the Option.
(ii)     Time and Method of Exercise.  The Committee shall determine the exercise terms and the Restricted Period with respect to an Option grant, which may include, without limitation, the provision for accelerated vesting up on the achievement of specified performance goals or other events, 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 through procedures approved by the Company, withholding Units to be acquired upon the Option exercise, or any combination of methods, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price.
(iii)  Forfeitures.  Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the Option grant, upon termination of a Participant’s employment with or consulting services to the Company and its Affiliates or membership on the Board, whichever is applicable, for any reason during the applicable Restricted Period, all Options shall be forfeited by the Participant.  The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to a Participant’s Options.
(iv)  Option DERs.  To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, a grant of Options may include a tandem DER grant, which may provide that such DERs shall be paid directly to the Participant, be credited to a bookkeeping account (with or without interest in the discretion of the Committee) subject to the same vesting restrictions as the tandem Options Award, or be subject to such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion.
(b)    Restricted Units and Phantom Units.  The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Restricted Units or Phantom Units shall be granted, the number of Restricted Units or Phantom Units to be granted to each such Participant, the Restricted Period, the conditions under which the Restricted Units or Phantom Units may become vested or forfeited and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such Awards.
(i)    DERs.  To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, a grant of Phantom Units may include a tandem DER grant, which may provide that such DERs shall be paid directly to the Participant, be 

4

credited to a bookkeeping account (with or without interest in the discretion of the Committee) subject to the same vesting restrictions as the tandem Phantom Unit Award, or be subject to such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion.
(ii)    UDRs.  To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, a grant of Restricted Units may provide that 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 to the holder of the Restricted Unit without restriction.
(iii)  Forfeitures.  Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the Restricted Units or Phantom Units grant, upon termination of a Participant’s employment with or consulting services to the Company and its Affiliates or membership on the Board, whichever is applicable, for any reason during the applicable Restricted Period, all outstanding Restricted Units and Phantom 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 and/or Phantom Units.
(iv)  Lapse of Restrictions.
(A)  Phantom Units.  Upon or as soon as reasonably practical following the vesting of each Phantom Unit, but in no event following the date that is two and 1⁄2 months following the vesting event, and subject to the provisions of Section 8(b), the Participant shall be entitled to receive from the Company one Unit or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a Unit, as determined by the Committee in its discretion.
(B)      Restricted Units.  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.
(v)      Deferral of Phantom Units.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 6(b), the Committee may provide for the deferral of a settlement of vested Phantom Units.  Deferred settlement may be required by the Committee or permitted at the election of the Participant on terms and conditions established by the Committee at the time of award of the Phantom Unit and in accordance with the deferral provisions established for the Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.  Deferred settlement may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of DERs during the deferral period.
(c)    General.
(i)    Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together.  Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate.  Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.
(ii) Limits on Transfer of Awards.  
(A)  Except as provided in Paragraph (C) below, each Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime, or by the person to whom the Participant’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
(B)      Except as provided in Paragraph (C) below, no Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a 

5

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.
(C)     To the extent specifically provided by the Committee with respect to an Option, an Option 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.
(iii)  Term of Awards.  The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee, but such term may not exceed 10 years.
(iv)  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.
(v)    Consideration for Grants.  Awards may be granted for such consideration, including services, as the Committee determines.
(vi)  Delivery of Units or other Securities and Payment by Participant of Consideration.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any grant agreement to the contrary, delivery of Units pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award may be deferred for any period during which, in the good faith determination of the Committee, the Company is not reasonably able to obtain Units to deliver pursuant to such Award without violating applicable law or the applicable rules or regulations of any governmental agency or authority or securities exchange.  No Units or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award grant agreement (including, without limitation, any exercise price or tax withholding) is received by the Company.
(vii)  Prohibition on Repricing of Options.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(c) or Section 7(c), the terms of outstanding Award Agreements may not be amended without the approval of the Partnership’s unitholders so as to (A) reduce the Unit exercise price of any outstanding Options, (B) grant a new Option or other Award in substitution for, or upon the cancellation of, any previously granted Option that has the effect of reducing the exercise price thereof, (C) exchange any Option for Units, cash or other consideration when the exercise price per Unit under such Option exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Units, or (D) take any other action that would be considered a “repricing” of an Option under the listing standards of the applicable national securities exchange on which the Units are then listed.  Subject to Section 4(c) or Section 7(c), the Committee shall have the authority, without the approval of the Partnership’s unitholders, to amend any outstanding Award to increase the per Unit exercise price of any outstanding Options or to cancel and replace any outstanding Options with the grant of Options having a per Unit exercise price that is equal to or greater than the per Unit exercise price of the original Options. 
(viii)  Substitute Awards.  Awards may be granted under the Plan in substitution for similar assumed, canceled or forfeited awards held by individuals who become Employees, Consultants or Directors as a result of a merger, consolidation or acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of another entity or the assets of another entity.  Such Substitute Awards that are Options may have exercise prices less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the date of such substitution.
Section 7.    Amendment and Termination.
Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law:

6

(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.
(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 of Control, 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 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:
(D) provide for either (i) the termination of any Award in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of such transaction or event the Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (ii) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion;
(E)     provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or be exchanged for similar options, rights or awards 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;
(F) 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 (including the exercise price), and the vesting/performance criteria included in, outstanding Awards, or both;
(G) provide that such Award shall be exercisable or payable, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement; and
(H)  provide that the Award cannot be exercised or become payable after such event, i.e., shall terminate upon such event.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) with respect to any “equity restructuring” event that could result in an additional compensation expense to the Company or the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 718, the provisions in Section 4(c) shall control to the extent they are in conflict with the discretionary provisions of this Section 7(c).
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 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, 

7

its exercise, 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. Any determination made by the Committee to allow a Participant who is subject to Rule 16b-3 to pay taxes with shares of Stock through net settlement or previously owned shares shall be approved by a committee made up of two or more “nonemployee directors” (as defined within Rule 16b-3) or the full Board. If such tax obligations are satisfied through the withholding of Units that are otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to an Award (or through the surrender of Units by the Participant to the Company), the maximum number of Units that may be so withheld (or surrendered) shall be the number of Units that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such tax liabilities determined based on the greatest withholding rates for federal, state, foreign and/or local tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that may be utilized without creating adverse accounting treatment with respect to such Award, as determined by the Committee.
(c)    No Right to Employment or Services.  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, continue consulting services or to remain on the Board, as applicable.  Furthermore, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or consulting 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 conflict 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.
(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 

8

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.  The applicable provisions of Section 409A and the regulations and guidelines issued thereunder are hereby incorporated by reference and, with respect to an Award the Committee intended to comply with Section 409A, shall control over any Plan or Award Agreement provision in conflict therewith. Subject to any other restrictions or limitations contained herein, in the event that a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A) becomes entitled to a payment under an Award that constitutes a “deferral of compensation” (as defined under Section 409A) on account of a “separation from service” (as defined under Section 409A), to the extent required by Section 409A to avoid the imposition of additional taxes or penalties, such payment shall not occur until the date that is six months plus one day from the date of such separation from service (or the date of the individual’s death, if earlier).  Any amount that is otherwise payable within the six-month period described herein will be aggregated and paid in a lump sum without interest.
(n)    Clawback Policy. To the extent required by applicable law or any applicable securities exchange listing standards, or as otherwise determined by the Committee, Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards shall be subject to the provisions of any applicable clawback policies or procedures adopted by the Company or the Partnership, which clawback policies or procedures may provide for forfeiture, repurchase and/or recoupment of Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Company and the Partnership reserve the right, without the consent of any Participant or beneficiary of any Award, to adopt any such clawback policies and procedures, including such policies and procedures applicable to the Plan or any Award Agreement with retroactive effect.
Section 9.    Term of the Plan.
The Plan shall be effective on the date of its approval by the Board and shall continue until the earliest of (i) the date terminated by the Board or the Committee, (ii) all Units available under the Plan have been paid to Participants, or (iii) the 10th anniversary of the Amendment Date.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, 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.
