REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF UGI

UGI represents and warrants to the Partnership, as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date, as follows:

Section 4.01 Existence. UGI is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its state of formation, with all necessary power and authority to own properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted.

Section 4.02 Authorization; Enforceability. UGI has all necessary legal power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by UGI and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action, and no further consent or authorization by any other Person is required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by UGI and the consummation by UGI of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by UGI, and, assuming due execution and delivery by the Partnership, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of UGI; provided, however, that the enforceability hereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws from time to time in effect affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Section 4.03 Unregistered Securities.

(a) Accredited Investor Status; Sophisticated Purchaser. UGI is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and is able to bear the risk of its investment in the Purchased Units, the PIK Units and the Conversion Units, as applicable. UGI has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of and investment in the Purchased Units, the PIK Units and the Conversion Units, as applicable.

(b) Legends. UGI understands that, until such time as the Conversion Units have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or the applicable Purchased Units, PIK Units or Conversion Units, as applicable, are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Purchased Units, PIK Units and Conversion Units will bear a restrictive legend as provided in the Partnership Agreement.

(c) Purchase Representation. UGI is purchasing the Purchased Units for its own account and not with a view to distribution in violation of any securities laws. UGI has been advised and understands that neither the Purchased Units, the PIK Units nor the Conversion Units have been registered under the Securities Act or under the “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act (or if eligible, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or

pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act). UGI has been advised and understands that the Partnership, in issuing the Purchased Units, is relying upon, among other things, the representations and warranties of UGI contained in this Article IV in concluding that such issuance is a “private offering” and is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

(d) Rule 144. UGI understands that there is no public trading market for the Class B Common Units or the PIK Units, that none is expected to develop, the Purchased Units are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws and that the Purchased Units, the PIK Units and the Conversion Units must be held indefinitely unless and until the Purchased Units, the PIK Units or the Conversion Units, as applicable, are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. UGI has been advised of and is knowledgeable with respect to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

(e) Reliance by the Partnership. UGI understands that the Purchased Units are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities Laws and that the Partnership is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of UGI set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of UGI to acquire the Purchased Units and the PIK Units, and any Conversion Units issuable upon conversion thereof.

Section 7.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Partnership Agreement Amendment and the other agreements and documents referred to herein or therein are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein.

Section 7.08 Governing Law: Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement), will be construed in accordance with and governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action against any party relating to the foregoing shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over any action, any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware), and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any such court over any such action. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each of the parties hereto consents to process being served in any such action by mailing, certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices hereunder, and agrees that such service shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

Section 7.10 Specific Performance. Damages in the event of breach of this Agreement by a party hereto may be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and it is therefore agreed that each such Person, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, will have the right to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach, and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof. The parties acknowledge and agree that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and each of the parties hereto hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. The existence of this right will not preclude any such Person from pursuing any other rights and remedies at law or in equity that such Person may have.

Section 7.11 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

An unlimited number of Class B Units may be issued by the Partnership, from time to time, with each issuance (other than Class B PIK Units) pursuant to each Capital Call, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Standby Equity Commitment Agreement and in accordance with this Agreement, designated herein as a series of Class B Units.

(b) Rights of Class B Units. The Class B Units shall have the following rights, preferences and privileges and shall be subject to the following duties and obligations:

(i) Capital Account. For the avoidance of doubt, each Class B Unit will be treated as a partnership interest in the Partnership that is “convertible

equity” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.721-2(g)(3), and, therefore, each holder of a Class B Unit will be treated as a partner in the Partnership. The initial Capital Account balance in respect of each Class B Unit issued on the Class B Issue Date shall be the Class B Issue Price. The Capital Account balance of each holder of Class B Units in respect of its Class B Units shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the accrual and accumulation of an unpaid distribution pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(iii)(A) or Section 4.10(b)(iii)(B) in respect of such Class B Units except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(ii) Allocations.

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (except as provided in Section 4.10(b)(ii)(B)), with respect to distributions made in cash pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(iii), for purposes of allocating items of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction to each Class B Unit pursuant to this Agreement, each Class B Unit will be treated as a Common Unit, determined on an as-converted basis as of the last day of such calendar year.

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (except as provided in Section 4.10(b)(ii)(A)), with respect to distributions made in-kind pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(iii), a Class B Unit will not receive any allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction pursuant to this Agreement.

(C) If the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of any property distributed (except cash or property distributed pursuant to Section 14.4 or a Class B PIK Unit) to any Class B Unitholder with respect to its Class B Units for a taxable year is greater (on a per Unit basis) than the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of property distributed to the Unitholders holding Common Units with respect to their Common Units (on a per Unit basis), then (1) each Class B Unitholder receiving such greater cash or property distribution shall be allocated gross income in an amount equal to the product of (aa) the amount by which the distribution (on a per Unit basis) to such Class B Unitholder exceeds the distribution (on a per Unit basis) to the Unitholders holding Common Units receiving the smallest distribution and (bb) the number of Class B Units owned by the Class B Unitholder receiving the greater distribution

(iii) Distributions.

(A) Commencing with the Quarter of each Class B Issue Date and continuing through the applicable Class B Conversion Date, subject to Section 4.10(b)(iii)(D) and the immediately following sentence, each Record Holder of Class B Units as of an applicable Record Date for each Quarter shall be entitled to receive, in respect of each Class B Unit held by such Record Holder,

cumulative distributions in respect of such Quarter equal to the applicable Class B Distribution Amount for such Quarter (the “Class B Quarterly Distribution”), prior to any distributions made pursuant to Article V. With respect to any Quarter, the Class B Quarterly Distribution may be paid, as determined by the General Partner at the direction of the Audit Committee, in cash or in-kind in the form of additional Class B Units, in each case, of the same series of Class B Units (“Class B PIK Units”), in an amount equal to the applicable Class B Distribution Amount for all Outstanding Class B Units. If the General Partner elects to pay a Class B Quarterly Distribution in Class B PIK Units, the number of Class B PIK Units to be issued in connection with such Class B Quarterly Distribution shall equal the quotient of (x) the applicable Class B Distribution Amount divided by (y) the applicable Class B Issue Price; provided, however, that fractional Class B PIK Units shall not be issued to any Person (each fractional Class B PIK Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Class B PIK Unit (and a 0.5 Class B PIK Unit shall be rounded to the next higher Class B PIK Unit)) and no cash shall be payable in lieu of fractional Class B PIK Units. Each Class B Quarterly Distribution shall be payable quarterly by no later than 45 days after the end of the applicable Quarter (each such payment date, a “Class B Distribution Payment Date”). If the General Partner establishes an earlier Record Date for any distribution to be made by the Partnership on other Partnership Securities in respect of any Quarter, then the Record Date established pursuant to this Section 4.10(b)(iii) for a Class B Quarterly Distribution in respect of such Quarter shall be the same Record Date.

(B) Reserved.

(C) The aggregate Class B Distribution Amount (excluding any portion paid in Class B PIK Units) shall be paid out of cash and cash equivalents that is deemed to be Operating Surplus for the applicable Quarter. If any portion of a Class B Quarterly Distribution with respect to any Quarter exceeds the amount of cash and cash equivalents that is deemed to be Operating Surplus for such Quarter, then such Class B Quarterly Distribution shall be paid in-kind in the form of Class B PIK Units.

(D) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.10(b)(iii) to the contrary, with respect to any Class B Unit that is converted into a Common Unit, (1) with respect to a distribution to be made to Record Holders as of the Record Date immediately preceding such conversion, the Record Holder of such Class B Unit as of such Record Date shall be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of such Class B Unit on the corresponding Class B Distribution Payment Date, but shall not be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of the Common Units into which such Class B Unit was converted on the payment date thereof, and (2) with respect to a distribution to be made to Record Holders as of any Record Date following such conversion, the Record Holder of the Class B Conversion Units into which such Class B Unit was converted as of such Record Date shall be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of such Class B Conversion Units on the payment date thereof, but shall not be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of such Class B Unit on the corresponding Class B

Distribution Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Class B Unit is converted into Class B Conversion Units pursuant to the terms hereof following a Record Date but prior to the corresponding Class B Distribution Payment Date, then the Record Holder of such Class B Unit as of such Record Date shall nonetheless remain entitled to receive on the Class B Distribution Payment Date a distribution in respect of such Class B Unit pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(iii)(A) and, until such distribution is received, Section 4.10(b)(iii)(B) shall continue to apply.

(E) When any Class B PIK Units are payable to a Class B Unitholder pursuant to this Section 4.10 the Partnership shall issue the Class B PIK Units to such holder in accordance with Section 4.10(b)(iii)(A) (the date of issuance of such Class B PIK Units, the “Class B PIK Payment Date”). On the Class B PIK Payment Date, the Partnership shall have the option to (1) issue to such Class B Unitholder a certificate or certificates for the number of Class B PIK Units to which such Class B Unitholder shall be entitled, or (2) cause the Transfer Agent to make a notation in book entry form in the books of the Partnership, and all such Class B PIK Units shall, when so issued, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Partnership Interests, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 or 17-804 of the Delaware Act, and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien, claim, rights or encumbrances, other than those arising under the Delaware Act or this Agreement or created by the holders thereof.

(F) For purposes of maintaining capital accounts, if the Partnership issues one or more Class B PIK Units with respect to a Class B Unit, (1) the Partnership shall be treated as distributing cash with respect to such Class B Unit in an amount equal to the applicable Class B Issue Price of the Class B PIK Unit issued in payment of the Class B Quarterly Distribution and (2) the holder of such Class B Unit shall be treated as having contributed to the Partnership in exchange for such newly issued Class B PIK Unit an amount of cash equal to the Class B Issue Price.

(iv) Voting Rights.

(A) Except as provided in Section 4.10(b)(iv)(B), the Outstanding Class B Units shall have voting rights that are identical to the voting rights of the Common Units into which such Class B Units would be converted at the then-applicable Class B Conversion Rate (regardless of whether the Class B Units are then convertible), and shall vote with the Common Units as a single class, so that the Record Holder of each Outstanding Class B Unit will be entitled to one vote for each Common Unit into which such Class B Unit would be converted at the then-applicable Class B Conversion Rate (regardless of whether the Class B Units are then convertible) on each matter with respect to which each Record Holder of a Common Unit is entitled to vote. Each reference in this Agreement to a vote of Record Holders of Common Units shall be deemed to be a reference to the Record Holders of Common Units and Class B Units, voting together as a single class during any period in which any Class B Units are Outstanding. In no event shall any series of Class B Units be treated as a separate class of Partnership Securities for purposes of this Agreement.

(B) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in addition to all other requirements imposed by Delaware law, and all other voting rights granted under this Agreement, the affirmative vote of the Record Holders of at least 50% of the Outstanding Class B Units, voting separately as a single class shall be required for:

(1) any action by the Partnership that disproportionately or adversely affects any of the rights, preferences or privileges of the Class B Units;

(2) any amendment to this Agreement or the Certificate of Limited Partnership that amends the terms and conditions of the Class B Units; and

(3) the issuance of any other PIK Security or Senior

Security.

(v) Certificates; Book-Entry; Transfer Restriction. Unless the General Partner shall determine otherwise, the Class B Units shall not be evidenced by certificates. Any certificates relating to the Class B Units that may be issued will be in such form as the General Partner may approve. Without the approval of a the Audit Committee the Class B Units may not be assigned or transferred in any manner other than to Affiliates of UGI.

(vi) Conversion.

(A) At the Option of the Class B Unitholders. At any time after [•]1, the Class B Units owned by any Class B Unitholder shall be convertible, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time upon the request of such Class B Unitholder, but not more than once per Quarter by such Class B Unitholder, into a number of Common Units determined by multiplying the number of Class B Units to be converted by the applicable Class B Conversion Rate at such time. Immediately upon the issuance of Class B Conversion Units as a result of any conversion of Class B Units hereunder, all rights of the Class B Converting Unitholder with respect to such Class B Units shall cease. Fractional Common Units shall not be issued to any Person pursuant to this Section 4.10(b)(vi)(A) (each fractional Common Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Common Unit (and a 0.5 Common Unit shall be rounded to the next higher Common Unit)) and no cash shall be payable in lieu of fractional Common Units.

1	NTD: Fifth anniversary of the Class B Issue Date for the first series of Class B Units issued.

(B) At the Option of the Partnership. At any time after [•]2, the Partnership shall have the option, at the direction of the Audit Committee, at any time and from time to time, but not more than once per Quarter, to convert all or any portion of the Class B Units then Outstanding into a number of Common Units determined by multiplying the number of Class B Units to be converted by the Class B Conversion Rate at such time. Fractional Common Units shall not be issued to any Person pursuant to this Section 4.10(b)(vi)(B) (each fractional Common Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Common Unit (and a 0.5 Common Unit shall be rounded to the next higher Common Unit)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order for the Partnership to exercise such option:

(1) the Common Units must be listed or admitted for trading on a National Securities Exchange; and

(2) the closing price of the Common Units on the principal National Securities Exchange on which the Common units are then listed or admitted to trading on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Class B Mandatory Conversion Notice Date, is greater than 110% of the applicable Class B Issue Price.

(1) To convert Class B Units into Common Units pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(vi)(A), a Class B Converting Unitholder shall give written notice (a “Class B Conversion Notice,” and the date such notice is received, a “Class B Conversion Notice Date”) to the Partnership stating that such Class B Unitholder elects to so convert Class B Units pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(vi)(A), the number of Class B Units to be converted and the Person to whom the applicable Class B Conversion Units should be issued.

(2) To convert Class B Units into Common Units pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(vi)(B), the Partnership shall give written notice (a “Class B Mandatory Conversion Notice,” and the date such notice is sent by the Partnership, a “Class B Mandatory Conversion Notice Date”) to each Record Holder of Class B Units stating that the Partnership elects to so convert Class B Units pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(vi)(B) and the number of Class B Units to be so converted. The applicable Class B Conversion Units shall be issued in the name of the Record Holder of such Class B Units.

2	NTD: Sixth anniversary of the Class B Issue Date for the first series of Class B Units issued.

(D) Timing. If a Class B Conversion Notice is delivered by a Class B Unitholder to the Partnership or a Class B Mandatory Conversion Notice is delivered by the Partnership to a Class B Unitholder, each in accordance with

Section 4.10(b)(vi)(C), the Partnership shall issue the applicable Class B Conversion Units no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Class B Conversion Notice Date or Class B Mandatory Conversion Notice Date, as the case may be, occurs (any date of issuance of Common Units upon conversion of Class B Units pursuant to this Section 4.10(b)(vi), Section 4.10(b)(vii) or Section 4.10(b)(viii), a “Class B Conversion Date”). The parties agree to coordinate with the Transfer Agent to accomplish this objective.

(E) Distributions, Combinations, Subdivisions and Reclassifications by the Partnership. If, after any Class B Issue Date, the Partnership (1) makes a distribution on the Common Units payable in Common Units or other Partnership Securities, (2) subdivides or splits its outstanding Common Units into a greater number of Common Units, (3) combines or reclassifies the Common Units into a lesser number of Common Units, (4) issues by reclassification of its Common Units any Partnership Securities (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving Person), (5) effects a Pro Rata repurchase of Common Units, in each case other than in connection with a Change of Control (which shall be governed by Section 4.10(b)(vii)), (6) issues to holders of Common Units, in their capacity as holders of Common Units, rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Units at less than the market value thereof, (7) distributes to holders of Common Units evidences of indebtedness, Partnership Securities (other than Common Units) or other assets (including securities, but excluding any distribution referred to in clause (1) above, any rights or warrants referred to in clause (6) above, any consideration payable in connection with a tender or exchange offer made by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries and any distribution of Units or any class or series, or similar Partnership Security, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Partnership in the case of certain spin-off transactions described below), or (8) consummates a spin-off, where the Partnership makes a distribution to all holders of Common Units consisting of Units of any class or series, or similar equity interests of, or relating to, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Partnership, then the Class B Conversion Rate in effect at the time of the Record Date for such distribution or the effective date of any such other transaction shall be proportionately adjusted: (aa) in respect of clauses (1) through (4) above, so that the conversion of the Class B Units after such time shall entitle each Class B Unitholder to receive the aggregate number of Common Units (or any Partnership Securities into which such Common Units would have been combined, consolidated, merged or reclassified, as applicable) that such Class B Unitholder would have been entitled to receive if the Class B Units had been converted into Common Units immediately prior to such Record Date or effective date, as the case may be, and (bb) in respect of clauses (5) through (8) above, in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner, subject to the prior approval of the Audit Committee, to appropriately ensure that the Class B Units are convertible into an economically equivalent number of Common Units after taking into account the event described in clauses (5) through (8) above. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.10(b)(vi)(E) shall become effective

immediately after the Record Date, in the case of a distribution, and shall become effective immediately after the applicable effective date, in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving Person) or split. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event described above shall occur.

(F) No Adjustments for Certain Items. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 4.10(b)(vi), no adjustment shall be made to the Class B Conversion Rate as a result of any of the following:

(1) any cash distributions made to holders of the Common Units;

(2) any issuance of Partnership Securities in exchange for cash;

(3) any grant of Common Units or options, warrants or rights to purchase or receive Common Units or the issuance of Common Units upon the exercise or vesting of any such options, warrants or rights in respect of services provided to or for the benefit of the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, under compensation plans and agreements approved by the General Partner (including any long-term incentive plan);

(4) any issuance of Common Units as all or part of the consideration to effect (aa) the closing of any acquisition by the Partnership of assets or equity interests of a third party in an arm’s-length transaction, (bb) the closing of any acquisition by the Partnership of assets or equity interests of the General Partner or any of its Affiliates or (cc) the consummation of a merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Partnership with another entity in which the Partnership survives and the Common Units remain Outstanding to the extent any such transaction set forth in clause (aa), (bb) or (ccc) above is approved by the General Partner; or

(5) the issuance of Common Units upon conversion of the Class B Units.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) whenever the issuance of a Partnership Security or other event would require an adjustment to the Class B Conversion Rate under one or more provisions of this Agreement, only one adjustment shall be made to the Class B Conversion Rate in respect of such issuance or event and (y) unless otherwise determined by the General Partner at the direction of the Audit Committee, no adjustment to the Class B Conversion Rate shall be made with respect to any distribution or other transaction described in Section 4.10(b)(vi)(E) if the Class B Unitholders are entitled to participate in such distribution or transaction as if they held a number of Common Units issuable upon conversion of the Class B Units immediately prior to such event at the then applicable Class B Conversion Rate, without having to convert their Class B Units.

(vii) Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the Outstanding Class B Units shall be automatically converted, without requirement of any action of the Class B Unitholders, into Common Units at the Class B Conversion Rate immediately prior to the closing of the applicable Change of Control.

(viii) Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, either voluntary or involuntary, the Outstanding Class B Units shall be automatically converted, without requirement of any action of the Class B Unitholders, into Common Units at the Class B Conversion Rate immediately prior to the closing of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership.

(ix) Fully Paid and Non-Assessable. Any Class B Conversion Unit(s) delivered pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware Act), and shall be free and clear of any liens, claims, rights or encumbrances other than those arising under the Delaware Act or this Agreement or created by the holders thereof.

(x) Notices. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall distribute to the Record Holders of Class B Units copies of all notices, materials, annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements, information statements and any other documents distributed generally to the Record Holders of Common Units of the Partnership, at such times and by such method as such documents are distributed to such Record Holders of such Common Units.

(xi) Other Rights; Fiduciary Duties. The Class B Units shall not have any designations, preferences, rights, powers or duties, other than as set forth in this Article IV or as provided by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall owe any duties or have any liabilities to the holders of Class B Units, other than the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing to the extent applicable with respect to the General Partner.

(xii) Special Provisions Relating to Class B Units.

(A) Subject to any applicable transfer restrictions in Section 1.6, Section 10.2 or Section 11.4, the holder of a Class B Conversion Unit shall provide notice to the Partnership of the transfer of any such Class B Conversion Unit, as applicable, by the earlier of (i) 30 days following such transfer and (ii) the last Business Day of the calendar year during which such transfer occurred,

unless, with respect to a transfer of a Class B Unit, by virtue of the application of the Regulations, the Partnership has previously determined, based on the advice of counsel, that the transferred Class B Conversion Unit should have, as a substantive matter, like intrinsic economic and federal income tax characteristics of an Initial Common Unit. In connection with the condition imposed by this Section 4.10(b)(xii), the Partnership shall take whatever steps are required to provide economic uniformity to the Class B Conversion Unit in preparation for a transfer of such Unit; provided, however, that no such steps may be taken that would have a material adverse effect on the Unitholders holding Common Units (for this purpose the allocations of income, gain, loss and deductions, and the making of any guaranteed payments or any reallocation of Capital Account balances, among the Partners in accordance with the Regulations with respect to Class B Conversion Units will be deemed not to have a material adverse effect on the Unitholders holding Common Units).

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the holders of the Class B Units (i) shall (A) possess the rights and obligations provided in this Agreement with respect to a Limited Partner and (B) have a capital account as a Partner pursuant to Section 9.5 and all other provisions related thereto and (ii) shall not (A) be entitled to vote on any matters requiring the approval or vote of the holders of Outstanding Units, except as provided in Section 4.10 or (B) be entitled to any distributions other than as provided in Section 4.10 and Article V.”

(d) Section 5.4 of the Partnership Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

5.4 OPERATING DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER SUBORDINATION PERIOD. Subject to Section 5.1 and Section 4.10(b)(iii), for each Quarter after the Subordination Period and before the Liquidation Date, Available Cash not in excess of Operating Surplus shall be distributed in the following priorities:

(a) first, 1% to the General Partner and 99% in respect of all Common Units Pro Rata until the amount distributed per Common Unit equals the Minimum Quarterly Distribution;

(b) then, 1% to the General Partner and 99% in respect of all Common Units Pro Rata until the amount distributed per Common Unit pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) equals the First Target Distribution;

(c) then, 14.1327% to the General Partner and 85.8673% in respect of all Common Units Pro Rata until the amount distributed per Common Unit pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) equals the Second Target Distribution;

(d) then, 24.2347% to the General Partner and 75.7653% in respect of all Common Units Pro Rata until the amount distributed per Common Unit pursuant to this Section 5.4(d) equals the Third Target Distribution; and

(e) then, 49.4898% to the General Partner and 50.5102% in respect of all Common Units Pro Rata.

(e) Section 5.5 of the Partnership Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS. Subject to Section 4.10(b)(iii), Available Cash in excess of Operating Surplus as of the end of a Quarter ending prior to the Liquidation Date (“Capital Surplus”) shall be distributed to the Partners Pro Rata until the aggregate amount distributed under this Section 5.5 with respect to an Initial Common Unit equals the Initial Unit Price. Thereafter, all Available Cash shall be distributed pursuant to Sections 5.3 and 5.4, as applicable.

(f) Section 9.1 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 9.1(i) at the end thereof as follows:

If, as a result of the conversion of a Class B Unit into Common Units and the adjustments pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s), a capital account reallocation is required consistent with the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), the General Partner shall make corrective allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x).

(g) Section 9.4 of the Partnership Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

TAX CONTROVERSIES. Subject to the provisions hereof, the General Partner is designated as the Tax Matters Partner (as defined in the Code) and is authorized and required to represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. Each Partner agrees to cooperate with the General Partner and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably required by the General Partner to conduct such proceedings. Each Partner agrees that notice of or updates regarding tax controversies shall be deemed conclusively to have been given or made by the Tax Matters Partner if the Partnership has either (a) filed the information for which notice is required with the Commission via its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system and such information is publicly available on such system or (b) made the information for which notice is required available on any publicly available website maintained by the Partnership, whether or not such Partner remains a Partner in the Partnership at the time such information is made publicly available.

With respect to tax returns filed for taxable years beginning on or after December 31, 2017, the General Partner (or its designee) will be designated as the “partnership representative” in accordance with the rules prescribed pursuant to Section 6223 of the Code (the “Partnership Representative”) and shall have the sole authority to act on behalf of the Partnership in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. The General Partner (or its designee) shall exercise, in its sole discretion, any and all authority of the Partnership Representative under the

Code, including, without limitation, (i) binding the Partnership and its Partners with respect to tax matters and (ii) determining whether to make any available election under Section 6226 of the Code. The General Partner shall amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations implementing the partnership audit, assessment and collection rules adopted by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, including any amendments to those rules.

(h) Section 11.4 of the Partnership Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article XI, no transfer of any Unit or interest therein of any Limited Partner or Assignee shall be made if such transfer would (a) violate the then applicable federal or state securities laws or rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or any other governmental authorities with jurisdiction over such transfer, (b) affect any Group Member’s existence or qualification as a limited partnership under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, or (c) result in entity-level taxation for federal income tax purposes of the Partnership or the Operating Partnership. In addition to any other restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement, the transfer of a Class B Unit or a Class B Conversion Unit shall be subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 4.10(b)(xii).

Section 2. Except as hereby amended, the Partnership Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
