MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

THIS MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of October 13, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between EXLP ABS 2009 LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, whose principal office is at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Issuer”), EXLP ABS LEASING 2009 LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, whose principal office is at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Lessor”) and EXTERRAN PARTNERS, L.P., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware whose principal office is at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (together with its successors and permitted assigns, “EXLP”), as the initial Manager hereunder (in such capacity, together with any Replacement Manager appointed hereunder, including, upon the occurrence of the Management Replacement Date under and as defined in the Back-up Management Agreement, the Back-up Manager, the “Manager”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Lessor, a subsidiary of the Issuer, owns substantially all of the Owner Compressors and leases certain of such Owner Compressors to the Issuer;

WHEREAS, the Issuer leases from the Lessor certain of the Owner Compressors and owns the remaining Owner Compressors;

WHEREAS, the Manager is primarily in the business of providing contract compression services and occasionally leasing compressors;

WHEREAS, the Issuer, the Lessor and the Manager desire to enter into this Agreement pursuant to which the Manager will operate, maintain and manage the Owner Compressors and provide contract compression services to Users pursuant to User Contracts on behalf of the Issuer and the Lessor;

WHEREAS, the Lessor acknowledges that its revenues are expected to be derived solely from lease rentals received from the Issuer and the Issuer’s operating revenues, in turn, are expected to be derived primarily from the provision of contract compression services and occasionally the rental of the Owner Compressors to Users pursuant to User Contracts; and

WHEREAS, the Lessor and the Issuer acknowledge that if there were no services (as described below) provided by the Manager, the ability of the Lessor and the Issuer to obtain revenue would be materially impaired;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Appendix A to the Indenture, dated as of October 13, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Lessor and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee (together with its successors and assigns, the “Indenture Trustee”), as such Appendix A may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, and the rules of usage set forth in such Appendix A shall apply to this Agreement.

2. APPOINTMENT OF THE MANAGER

2.1 Appointment. Upon the terms and conditions hereinafter provided, each of the Issuer and the Lessor hereby appoint EXLP as the initial Manager of the Owner Compressors. The Manager shall be responsible, on behalf of the Issuer, for providing contract compression services utilizing the Owner Compressors, as well as operating, maintaining and managing all of the Owner Compressors. The Lessor consents to and joins in with the contract engaging the Manager for the purpose of assuring that the Owner Compressors are under management as provided herein. EXLP, as initial Manager, and each other Replacement Manager as may from time to time become Manager hereunder, hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to provide contract compression services and operate, maintain and manage all of the Owner Compressors in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2 Standard of Performance. In performing its obligations hereunder (including the Manager’s obligations (a) to identify Collections that are allocable to the Securitization Collateral and (b) to perform its obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement), the Manager shall use such efforts which are in accordance with the Services Standard. The duties of the Manager will be limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Related Documents and the Manager will not have any fiduciary or other implied duties or obligations to the Issuer or any of its assignees.

2.3 Conflicts of Interest. Except as otherwise permitted, the Manager shall perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement on a fair and equitable basis. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Manager will not discriminate between the Owner Compressors and the Other EXLP Compressors (or, in the case of any Manager other than EXLP or an EXLP Affiliate, Compressors or any other equipment of a type similar to the Owner Compressors that are owned, maintained, managed or for which contract compression services are provided by such Manager for its own account) on any basis which could reasonably be considered discriminatory or adverse.

2.4 Similar Services. It is expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein shall be construed to prevent, prohibit or restrict the Manager or any Affiliate of the Manager from providing the same or similar services as those provided under this Agreement to any other Person or from providing contract compression services or manufacturing, selling, owning, managing, maintaining, operating or otherwise dealing with Compressors on its or others’ behalf; provided that no such activity shall in any way reduce the obligations of the Manager hereunder to comply with the Services Standard.

2.5 Use of Affiliates, Assignment of Rights and Obligations. (a) Each of the Issuer and the Lessor hereby consents to and agrees that, in performing its duties hereunder, the Manager may further contract with, or delegate to, its Affiliates to provide any or all services to be provided by the Manager pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Manager shall remain liable for all services to be provided and which any of its Affiliates have been contracted to perform; and provided, further, that the Manager shall be solely responsible for the payment of all fees and expenses (which shall be negotiated and determined at an arm’s-length basis) owing to all such Affiliates.

(b) During the term of this Agreement, the Manager shall not, without the prior written consent of the Requisite Global Majority in each instance, (i) terminate its rights under the Omnibus Agreement, without replacing the Omnibus Agreement with a replacement agreement providing for similar management services with a counterparty capable of carrying out such management services (as determined by the Deal Agent in its reasonable discretion), or (ii) amend, modify or waive the terms of the Omnibus Agreement in a manner that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Manager to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Related Document to which it is a party.

2.6 Relationship between the Issuer, the Lessor and the Manager. All of the functions, duties and services performed by the Manager under this Agreement shall be performed by the Manager as an independent contractor and not as an agent of the Issuer or the Lessor except to the limited extent expressly set forth in this Section 2.6. The Manager does not have the authority to act as an agent of the Issuer or the Lessor and the Manager, in its capacity as such, does not, except as to the execution of User Contracts, have the authority to bind the Issuer or the Lessor or their assets. The Manager is authorized to act as the agent of the Issuer (and, to the extent relevant to the particular situation, of the Lessor) with respect to administering, collecting, reporting and remitting sales, use and other taxes due from Users. Neither the Issuer nor the Lessor shall have any liability for the acts of the Manager. The foregoing provision regarding liability shall not affect the ability of a state or other taxing authority to hold the Issuer (or, to the extent relevant to the particular situation, the Lessor) liable for sales, use or similar taxes that the Manager fails to collect from the Users, including related penalties and interest. Any fee or other compensation payable by the Issuer to the Manager is an ordinary and necessary business expense of the Issuer. No fee is anticipated to be paid by the Lessor to the Manager, it being understood that the compensation received by the Manager from the Issuer is the full compensation to which the Manager is to be entitled for all services to be rendered to both the Issuer and the Lessor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

2.7 Back-up Manager. If the Back-up Manager or any other Person shall become the Replacement Manager, then the Requisite Global Majority shall have the right to appoint another Eligible Back-up Manager as Back-up Manager.

3. MANAGEMENT TERM

3.1 Duration of Management Term. The Management Term shall commence as of the Closing Date and shall continue in force with respect to an Owner Compressor until the earliest to occur of: (i) the occurrence of a Compressor Termination Event with respect to such Owner Compressor, (ii) the date on which the Indenture is discharged in accordance with its terms and all Outstanding Obligations (including all amounts owing to any Series Enhancer

pursuant to any Enhancement Agreement) have been paid in full, and (iii) with respect to any Manager, the removal and replacement of the Manager in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 hereof. Except as set forth in this Section 3 or Section 12 hereof, the rights and obligations of the Manager hereunder may not be terminated by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or the Lessor for any reason.

3.2 Resignation by the Manager. Neither EXLP nor any successor Manager may resign from its obligations and duties as the Manager hereunder, except upon a determination that the performance by EXLP or such successor Manager, as the case may be, of its duties under this Agreement is no longer permissible under Applicable Law, which determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Global Majority, to such effect addressed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of the Noteholders, each Series Enhancer and the other Persons specified in the Indenture), the Issuer and each Series Enhancer. No such resignation will become effective until a Replacement Manager has assumed the obligations and duties of the Manager under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

3.3 Termination with Respect to an Owner Compressor. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3 to the contrary (but subject to the provisions of Section 12), the Management Term shall terminate with respect to any Owner Compressor which becomes an Obsolete Compressor, is subject to a Casualty Loss (other than a temporary requisition by any Governmental Authority for a period of not more than 180 days), or has been sold or foreclosed (any of the foregoing, a “Compressor Termination Event”) as of the date of such Compressor Termination Event; provided that as to any Owner Compressor subject to a Compressor Termination Event for which a Substitute Compressor has not been provided in accordance with Section 4.02 of the Contribution Agreement, the Manager shall continue to have the duty, to the extent any of the following amounts are actually received by the Manager, to deposit into the Trust Account all Casualty Proceeds or other amounts received with respect to such Obsolete Compressor or the Owner Compressor that was subject to such Casualty Loss, at such time as provided for herein or in the Indenture. The Issuer and the Manager shall notify the other party and the Indenture Trustee promptly after it obtains knowledge of any Compressor Termination Event.

4. OWNERSHIP OF OWNER COMPRESSORS

4.1 Retention of Title. The Issuer or the Lessor, as the case may be, shall at all times retain full legal and equitable title to the Owner Compressors, notwithstanding the management thereof by the Manager hereunder. The Manager shall not make reference to or otherwise deal with or treat the Owner Compressors in any manner except in conformity with this Section 4.1.

4.2 Liens. The Manager will promptly pay or discharge any and all sums claimed by any party which, if unpaid, might become a Lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or with respect to any Owner Compressor, including any accession thereto, or any part thereof or the interest of the Issuer therein other than Permitted Encumbrances (each a “Lien Claim”) and will promptly discharge any Lien Claim which arises; provided, however, that the Manager shall be under no obligation to pay or discharge any Lien Claim so long as it is contesting the validity thereof in good faith, in a reasonable manner and by appropriate legal proceedings, and the nonpayment thereof does not, in the commercially reasonable opinion of

the Manager, adversely affect the title, property or rights of any Entitled Party thereto. Without limiting the generality of this Section 4.2, the Manager shall be required to pay or discharge any Lien Claim (1) that results from an act or omission by the Manager with respect to which the Manager would not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 16 hereof (“Manager Malfeasance”) or (2) if prior to such payment or discharge, the Manager receives from the Issuer the amount thereof (the “Owner Lien Claim Amount”). If any Lien Claim shall have resulted from Manager Malfeasance and shall have been paid by the Issuer, whether directly or by payment of the Owner Lien Claim Amount to the Manager, then, in either case, the Manager shall promptly reimburse the Issuer, upon presentation of an invoice therefor.

5. DUTIES/RIGHTS OF THE MANAGER

5.1 Duties of the Manager. Subject to the terms and provisions hereof, the Manager shall provide the services specified in this Section 5 to, and on behalf of, the Issuer and the Lessor during the Management Term with respect to the Owner Compressors. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, if an Owner Compressor is then subject to a User Contract, the User under such User Contract may provide certain of the obligations set forth in Sections 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 and 5.9 hereof to the extent required or permitted under such User Contract.

5.2 Marketing.

(a) During the Management Term, the Manager shall provide contract compression services and market, service, maintain and operate all Owner Compressors consistent with the Services Standard. In addition, for so long as EXLP or an EXLP Affiliate is the Manager, EXLP or such EXLP Affiliate as Manager shall keep the Owner Compressors under User Contracts subject to approximately the same (and not materially lower) utilization rates and contract rates and in the same manner as the Other EXLP Compressors. In addition, the Manager shall, consistent with the Services Standard, negotiate the terms and conditions of all User Contracts; provided that the terms and conditions of such User Contracts must be consistent with those of User Contracts that utilize the Other EXLP Compressors viewed as a single group (or, if the Manager is not EXLP or an EXLP Affiliate, Compressors or equipment of a type similar to the Owner Compressors that are owned, managed, maintained, operated or for which contract compression services are provided by such Manager (or by any subcontractor or delegate appointed by the Manager and permitted under Section 2.5(a)) for the Manager’s own account and third parties other than the Issuer and the Lessor) and, in any event, must comply with (i) then generally accepted industry standards, (ii) for so long as the Manager is EXLP or an EXLP Affiliate, the terms of the Contribution Agreement and (iii) the requirements of the Related Documents.

(b) In performing its marketing duties pursuant to this Section 5.2, the Manager shall use its best efforts to comply with the applicable concentration limits set forth in Appendix A to the Indenture in the definitions of Excess 499 H/P Amount, Excess 999 H/P Amount and Excess Customer Concentration Amount.

5.3 Contract and Administration Obligations. The Manager shall, consistent with the Services Standard, cause to be performed when due, on behalf of the Issuer (and, if applicable, the Lessor), all of the Issuer’s (or, where applicable, the Lessor’s) performance obligations under the User Contracts and the other Related Documents to which the Issuer is a party; provided,

however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating credit recourse to the Manager for (i) the principal balance of, and accrued interest or Commitment Fees on, the Notes or other amounts owing by either the Issuer or the Lessor under the Related Documents or (ii) indemnification payments otherwise the obligation of the Issuer or the Lessor pursuant to the Related Documents (except to the extent that the Manager would otherwise be liable for such indemnification payment pursuant to the provisions of Section 16 hereof).

5.4 Billing and Other Information. During the Management Term, the Manager shall ▇▇▇▇, on behalf of the Issuer (and, if applicable, the Lessor), for all contract payments and other sums due to the Issuer with respect to the User Contracts and shall also be responsible for the collection thereof. Such bills may be prepared in summary format, but shall contain a detailed listing of each User Contract so contracted.

5.5 Defaults by Users; Contract Amendments and Waiver.

(a) In the event of any breach or default by a User under a User Contract, the Manager shall, consistent with the Services Standard, take appropriate remedial action, in the name of the Issuer (which action the Lessor hereby agrees shall also bind the Lessor), with respect to such defaulted User Contract including, without limitation, (i) the termination of such User Contract, (ii) the recovery of possession of any or all Owner Compressors subject thereto and (iii) the enforcement of any other rights or remedies of the Issuer under such User Contract, including, without limitation, the right to payment for any contract compression services or payment of other amounts owed by such User under such User Contract. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Manager shall, consistent with the Services Standard, (i) institute and prosecute such legal proceedings in the name of the Issuer or the Lessor as is permitted by Applicable Law in order to accomplish the foregoing, (ii) settle, compromise and/or terminate such proceedings or (iii) reinstate such User Contract; provided that the Manager shall not be required to take any such action if, in the exercise of its reasonable commercial judgment, the Manager would not take such action if such User Contract were with an EXLP Affiliate other than the Issuer or the Lessor (or, if the Manager is not EXLP or an EXLP Affiliate, Compressors or equipment of a type similar to the Compressors that are owned, managed, maintained, operated or for which contract compression services are provided by such Manager (or by any subcontractor or delegate appointed by Manager and permitted under Section 2.5(a)) for Manager’s own account and third parties other than the Issuer and the Lessor). All out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Manager in performing its obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.5, after reduction of such amounts for enforcement costs actually received by the Manager pursuant to the terms of the related User Contracts, shall be a Reimbursable Expense. The Issuer reserves the right to take, upon written notice to the Manager, in its sole discretion, any or all of the actions described in this Section 5.5 directly in its own name and on its own behalf. In such an event the Manager, at the Issuer’s expense, shall cooperate with the Issuer (or its designee or assignee) and provide the Issuer (or its designee or assignee) with such assistance as the Issuer may reasonably request.

(b) In performing its obligations hereunder, the Manager may, acting in the name of the Issuer or the Lessor and without the necessity of obtaining the prior consent of the Issuer, the Lessor or any other Entitled Party, grant consents or enter into and grant modifications, waivers and amendments to the terms of any User Contract except for consents,

modifications, waivers or amendments that (x) are inconsistent with the Services Standard or (y) contravene (or permit the contravention of) any provision of the Indenture.

5.6 Maintenance; Manager’s Expenses.

(a) The Manager shall, consistent with the Services Standard, cause the Owner Compressors to be maintained in good operating order and condition. The standard for such maintenance shall be the highest of the following: (i) any standard required or set forth for the Owner Compressors by Applicable Law, (ii) the Services Standard, (iii) with respect to the Owner Compressors utilized to provide contract compression services, any standard set forth in the related User Contract, and (iv) with respect to the Owner Compressors leased to a User, any standard set forth in the related User Contract. All amounts expended by the Manager for maintenance (other than maintenance, modifications, repackagings and overhauls made in compliance with Section 5.6(b) hereof) of the Owner Compressors, after reduction of such amounts for maintenance payments actually received by the Manager pursuant to the terms of any related User Contract, shall be an expense of the Manager and not subject to reimbursement by the Issuer except as part of the Operations Fee.

(b) (i) The Manager shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, overhauls of the Owner Compressors at such intervals and in such detail as it conducts overhauls of the Other EXLP Compressors (or, if the Manager is not EXLP or an EXLP Affiliate, Compressors or equipment of a type similar to the Compressors that are owned, managed, maintained, operated or for which contract compression services are provided by such Manager (or by any subcontractor or delegate appointed by Manager and permitted under Section 2.5(a)) for Manager’s own account and for the account of third parties other than the Issuer and the Lessor).

(ii) Maintenance, modifying, repackaging and/or overhauls of the Owner Compressors that are capitalized in accordance with GAAP may be performed by the Manager or third parties as reasonably determined by the Manager. For such maintenance, modifying, repackaging and/or overhauls of the Owner Compressors, the Issuer will pay the Overhaul Fee.

5.7 Insurance.

(a) The Manager will cause to be carried and maintained, at its sole expense (unless insured in a manner consistent with this paragraph by Users), with respect to all Owner Compressors at all times during the Management Term thereof and for the geographic area in which any Owner Compressor is at any time located (i) physical damage insurance insuring against risks of physical loss or damage to the Owner Compressors (“Property Insurance”) with an aggregate annual loss limit of not less than $20,000,000 per occurrence (except for certain perils which have sub-limits in the amounts set forth on Schedule 5.7(a) attached hereof), and (ii) liability insurance against liability for bodily injury, death and property damage resulting from the use and operation of the Owner Compressors (“Liability Insurance”) with an aggregate loss limit of not less than $20,000,000 per occurrence (except for certain perils which have sub-limits in the amounts set forth on Schedule 5.7(a) hereof) and in each case shall be on terms consistent with current practices; provided, however, that if by reason of a force majeure

event or other event outside of the control of the Manager, one or more of the terms of such insurance as required hereby are not available in the commercial insurance markets on commercially reasonable terms, the Manager shall nevertheless be deemed to have complied with this Section 5.7 if the Manager obtains such insurance on commercially reasonable terms then available to the Manager with such premiums, deductibles and policy limits that are consistent with industry standards which are reasonably satisfactory to each Series Enhancer. Property Insurance and Liability Insurance shall be subject to deductibles that are consistent with industry standards. The policies of insurance required under this Section 5.7(a) shall be valid and enforceable policies issued by insurers having an A.M. Best Company general policyholder rating of “A-” and a financial rating of “IX” or in each case better or otherwise acceptable to each Series Enhancer and shall provide coverage with respect to incidents occurring anywhere in the United States.

(b) Such Property Insurance policy or policies will name the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, individually and on behalf of the Entitled Parties, as the loss payees, as their respective interest may appear, with the Lessor for purposes of this sentence agreeing that any insurable interest it has in the Owner Compressors is subject to administration and management by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. Such Liability Insurance policy or policies will name the Issuer, the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee, individually and on behalf of the Entitled Parties, as additional insureds (each an “Additional Insured”). Each such policy shall provide that (i) the insurers waive any claim for premiums and any right of subrogation or setoff against the Additional Insureds, (ii) it may not be invalidated against any Additional Insured by reason of any violation of a condition or breach of warranty of the policies or the application therefor by the Manager or the Issuer, (iii) it may be canceled by the insurer only after no less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice from the Manager’s insurance broker to the Indenture Trustee and each Series Enhancer, and (iv) the insurer will give written notice to the Indenture Trustee and each Series Enhancer in the event of nonpayment of premium by the Manager when due.

(c) On the Closing Date, and thereafter within five (5) days of the expiration date of any expiring policies required under this Section 5.7, the Manager shall furnish the Indenture Trustee and each Series Enhancer with certificates of the insurance or replacement insurance coverage required by this Section 5.7.

(d) To the extent not sold or transferred pursuant to Section 645 of the Indenture, any deductibles or losses that are not covered by either the Property Insurance or Liability Insurance shall be paid by, and for the account of, the Manager. The Manager agrees to promptly, but in any event within three (3) Business Days after receipt of proceeds of such loss, deposit such amounts into the Trust Account or the Purchase Account, as applicable, in accordance with Section 302(b) of the Indenture for distribution in accordance with Section 302 of the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, each of the S&A Fee (including any Excess S&A Expenses), the Operations Fee (including any Excess Operations Expenses), the Overhaul Fee, the Incentive Management Fee and the payment of Reimbursable Expenses shall be payable to the Manager from the Trust Account, to the extent monies are available for the payment thereof, in accordance with Sections 302(c), (d) and (e) of the Indenture, as follows:

(a) on each Payment Date, an amount equal to the S&A Fee (including any Excess S&A Expenses), the Overhaul Fee, the Operations Fee (including any Excess Operations Expenses) and the Incentive Management Fee, in each case for the calendar month preceding the month in which such Payment Date occurs; and

(b) on each Payment Date, the amount of Reimbursable Expenses submitted by the Manager to the Issuer on or prior to the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Payment Date occurs.

11.2 S&A Fee.

(a) The selling and administrative fee payable to EXLP as initial Manager for each Collection Period (or any portion thereof) shall be the EXLP S&A Fee. The S&A Fee for any Manager other than EXLP or any EXLP Affiliate shall be the amount calculated in accordance with the definition thereof, subject to the adjustments and limitations contained therein and herein.

(b) So long as no Trigger Event shall have occurred and then be continuing, the S&A Fee Rate may be recomputed by the Manager or any Replacement Manager and automatically adjusted each year on the last day of the quarter following the Manager’s fiscal year end, to reflect the actual selling and administrative costs incurred by the Manager in managing the EXLP Compressors during the most recently completed fiscal year. Any such adjustment shall be accompanied by a certification by the Manager that any increase in the S&A Fee Rate reflects increases in selling and administrative costs which are also being incurred in respect of the Other EXLP Compressors. The reasonableness of the amount of such cost increase will, at the request of any Entitled Party, be verified by a third party consultant selected by the Requisite Global Majority and reasonably satisfactory to the Manager. Increases in the S&A Fee in excess of the levels permitted in the definition of the S&A Fee shall be payable at a subordinated level in accordance with Sections 302(d) and (e) of the Indenture. In addition to the adjustment set forth above, the S&A Fee Rate may be adjusted with the prior consent of the Manager, the Issuer, and the Requisite Global Majority to reflect material non-recurring costs incurred in any fiscal year.

(c) The S&A Fee, as adjusted from time to time under Section 11.2(b), is intended to include all direct selling and administrative costs and expenses relating to the performance of the Manager’s services, duties and obligations under this Agreement but shall not include (x) Reimbursable Expenses, (y) the costs and expenses of the Manager in connection with its indemnification obligations owing to any MA Indemnified Party, or (z) that portion of such direct selling and administrative costs and expenses that would exceed the Owner Compressor SG&A Limit.

11.3 Operations Fee.

(a) The fee for operations payable to EXLP as initial Manager shall be the Operations Fee.

(b) So long as EXLP or one of its Affiliates is the Manager, the Operations Fee Rate shall automatically adjust, on the next Determination Date after the filing by EXLP of its quarterly report, to reflect the “gross margin percentage”, as set forth in the most recent consolidated financial statements of EXLP delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(a) hereof. Increases in the Operations Fee in excess of the levels permitted in the definition of Operations Fee shall be payable at a subordinated level in accordance with Sections 302(d) and (e) of the Indenture. In addition to the adjustment set forth above, the Operations Fee Rate may be adjusted with the prior consent of the Manager, the Issuer, and the Requisite Global Majority to reflect material non-recurring costs incurred in any year.

(c) The Operations Fee, as adjusted from time to time, is intended to include all direct operating costs and expenses relating to the performance of the Manager’s services, duties and obligations under this Agreement but shall not include (x) Reimbursable Expenses, (y) the costs and expenses of the Manager in connection with its reimbursement, payment or indemnification obligations owing to any MA Indemnified Party, and (z) that portion of such direct operating costs and expenses that exceeds the Cost of Sales Limit.

11.4 Incentive Management Fee. In addition to the Operations Fee and the S&A Fee, the Manager (whether the Manager is EXLP, any EXLP Affiliate or a Replacement Manager) shall be entitled to receive on each Payment Date an additional fee in an amount equal to the Incentive Management Fee.

11.5 Reimbursable Expenses. To the extent not included in another fee category, the Manager shall be separately compensated on each Payment Date during the term of this Agreement, in accordance with the priorities established therefor in Sections 302(d) and (e) of the Indenture, for Reimbursable Expenses actually paid by the Manager (or paid on its behalf), during the immediately preceding month.
