Section 1.04 Acts of Holders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered

to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Partnership. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and (subject to Section 4.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Partnership, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any CVI shall bind every future Holder of the same CVI or the Holder of every CVI issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such CVI.

Section 1.05 Notices, etc., to Trustee and Partnership.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Agreement to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:

(a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Partnership shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed, in writing, to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office at ; or

(b) the Partnership by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Partnership addressed to it at , or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Partnership.

Section 1.06 Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this

Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event as required by any provision of this Agreement, then any method of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Section 1.07 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

Section 2.03 Form of Reverse of CVI.

This CVI Certificate is issued under and in accordance with the Contingent Value Interests Agreement, dated as of , 2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”), between the Partnership and , as trustee (the “Trustee”, which terms includes any successor Trustee under the Agreement), and is subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Agreement, all of which terms and provisions the

Holder of this CVI Certificate consents by acceptance hereof. The Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Reference is hereby made to the Agreement for a full statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Partnership, the Trustee and the Holders of the CVIs. Copies of the Agreement can be obtained by contacting the Trustee. All capitalized terms used in this CVI Certificate without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.

Each CVI represents the right to receive, in respect of certain adjustments to the Partnership’s direct or indirect ownership interests in the Group Partnerships, subject to the provisions contained herein, the CVI Consideration (as defined below). The amount and form of the CVI Consideration will be determined by the Partnership in accordance with the provisions herein. Such determination by the Partnership, absent manifest error, shall be final and binding on the Partnership and the Holder. Under certain circumstances, as described below, the Holders of CVIs will not be entitled to any CVI Consideration and the CVIs represented hereby shall terminate and become null and void and the Holder hereof shall have no further rights with respect hereto. The Partnership and the Holder shall treat the CVIs represented hereby as an interest in the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Subject to adjustment as set forth below and to the occurrence of an Automatic Extinguishment Event (as defined below), the Partnership shall deliver to the Holder hereof with respect to each CVI represented hereby on the third Business Day following the earlier of (x) a Fundamental Change (as defined below) and (y) [Insert third anniversary of closing date] (such third Business Day, the “Maturity Date”) CVI Consideration in the form described below.

The CVI Consideration, if any, shall be satisfied by delivery by the Partnership of a number of common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Partnership Common Units”) having a value equal to the CVI Consideration; provided, however, that the Partnership shall deliver cash to satisfy its obligation to deliver the CVI Consideration instead of Partnership Common Units if (x) the Partnership gives notice to the Trustee at least 10 days prior to the commencement of the Averaging Period (as defined below) that the Group Partnerships have committed to deliver cash to the Partnership in an amount sufficient to satisfy the aggregate CVI Consideration deliverable by the Partnership with respect to all CVIs at the Maturity Date or (y) at the time of issuance thereof, such Partnership Common Units would not be (A) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (other than as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-607 or Section 17-804 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act or the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership), (B) issued in compliance with any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, (C) authorized for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (or, if the Partnership Common Units are not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such other exchange on which Partnership Common Units are then listed), subject to official notice of issuance or (D) issued either in a transaction that satisfied the requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, it being understood that the Partnership shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the outcomes described in (A) through (D) above. Partnership Common Units issued as CVI Consideration shall be valued (for purposes of calculating the number of Partnership Common Units to be issuable to Holders) at the Common Unit Value. Any CVI Consideration not delivered when due at the Maturity Date shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate (as defined below).

The Trustee has been initially appointed as Paying Agent. All CVI Consideration to be delivered by the Partnership pursuant to this CVI Certificate shall be subject to and reduced by withholding taxes, if any. The Partnership shall have no obligation to reimburse, equalize or compensate a Holder or other person for such withholding taxes.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, if at any time during the period from , 2008 (the “Issue Date”) through, but excluding the first day of the Averaging Period, the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of one Partnership Common Unit on the New York Stock Exchange (or, if the Partnership Common Units are not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such other exchange on which the Partnership Common Units are then listed) equals or exceeds the Extinguishment Price for 20 consecutive trading days (the “Automatic Extinguishment Event”), then the CVIs will have no value and will be automatically extinguished and terminated without further consideration or action by the Partnership, the Trustee or the Holders; provided that if during such 20 consecutive trading day period the Ex-Date with respect to any dividend or other distribution (other than the payment of a dividend or other distribution by the Partnership to its unitholders in Partnership Common Units) shall have occurred in respect of a Partnership Common Unit, for purposes of calculating the daily VWAP described above, the daily VWAP for any trading day in such 20 consecutive trading day period preceding the Ex-Date in respect of such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by the amount of such dividend or other distribution; provided further that any trading day (an “Excluded Day”) on which the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates takes any action that it would be prohibited from taking under Section 7.04 during the Prohibited Period shall not be considered a trading day for purposes of the foregoing and the daily VWAP for an Excluded Day shall not be taken into account for purposes of the foregoing (it being understood that consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Excluded Day may continue to be taken into account for purposes of the 20 consecutive trading day period used to determine whether an Automatic Extinguishment Event has occurred; provided however that if an Excluded Day occurs on a trading day that would otherwise have been one of the final 3 consecutive trading days in the 20 consecutive trading day period used to determine whether an Automatic Extinguishment Event has occurred, the 20 consecutive trading day period used to determine whether an Automatic Extinguishment Event has occurred shall begin no earlier than the first trading day following such Excluded Day that is itself not an Excluded Day).

In the event that the Partnership determines that the CVI Consideration or the Default Amount on the Maturity Date or the Default Payment Date, as applicable, is $0.00 or that the Automatic Extinguishment Event has occurred, the Partnership shall give to the Holder of each CVI notice of such determination. Upon making such determination, absent manifest error, this CVI Certificate shall terminate and become null and void and the Holder hereof shall have no further rights with respect hereto. The failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of such determination.

The Default Amount and the related interest shall be satisfied by delivery by the Partnership of a number of Partnership Common Units having a value equal to the Default Amount and the related interest, provided, however, that the Partnership shall deliver cash to satisfy its obligation to deliver the Default Amount and related interest instead of Partnership Common Units if (x) the Partnership receives cash directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries from the Group Partnerships on or prior to the date of payment of the Default Amount in an amount adequate to satisfy delivery of the Default Amount in cash, or (y) at the time of issuance thereof, such Partnership Common Units would not be (A) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (other than as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-607 or Section 17-804 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act or the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership), (B) issued in compliance with any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, (C) authorized for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (or, if the Partnership Common Units are not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such other exchange on which Partnership Common Units are then listed), subject to official notice of issuance or (D) issued either in a transaction that satisfied the requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, it being understood that the Partnership shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the outcomes described in (A) through (D) above. The Partnership Common Units issued in respect of the Default Amount and the related interest shall be valued (for purposes of calculating the number of Partnership Common Units to be issuable to Holders) at the Default VWAP Price.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, other than in respect of the Partnership’s obligation to deliver interest at the Default Interest Rate under the circumstances provided herein, the Partnership shall in no event be required to deliver (i) CVI Consideration (whether in the form of Partnership Common Units or cash) in excess of the CVI Consideration Cap in order to satisfy its obligations in respect of any CVI, (ii) a Default Amount (whether in the form of Partnership Common Units or cash) in excess of the Default Amount Cap, as applicable, in order to satisfy its obligations in respect of any CVI or (iii) an aggregate number of Partnership Common Units in excess of the Aggregate Unit Cap or cash in an aggregate amount in excess of an amount equal to the product of the Aggregate Unit Cap and the Common Unit Value (or the Default VWAP Price in the event a Default Payment Date occurs) in order to satisfy its obligations in respect of all CVIs authenticated and delivered under the Agreement.

THE CVIs

Section 3.01 Title and Terms.

(a) The aggregate number of CVI Certificates which may be authenticated and delivered under this Agreement is limited to the number of Seller Common Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated by Section 1.1 of the Purchase Agreement, except for CVIs authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other CVIs pursuant to Section 3.04, 3.05, 3.06 or 6.06.

(b) The CVIs shall be known and designated as the “Contingent Value Interests” of the Partnership and the Holders shall have no rights except for those explicitly provided for herein and shall not, by virtue of their ownership of CVIs have any of the rights of a unitholder of the Partnership.

(c) Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.01(f) and to the occurrence of an Automatic Extinguishment Event, the Partnership shall deliver to the Holder thereof with respect to each CVI held by such Holder on the Maturity Date, CVI Consideration in the form described below. The CVI Consideration, if any, shall be satisfied by delivery by the Partnership of a number of Partnership Common Units having a value equal to the CVI Consideration; provided, however, that the Partnership shall deliver cash to satisfy its obligation to deliver the CVI Consideration instead of Partnership Common Units if (x) the Partnership gives notice to the Trustee at least 10 days prior to the commencement of the Averaging Period that the Group Partnerships have committed to deliver cash to the Partnership in an amount sufficient to satisfy the aggregate CVI Consideration deliverable by the Partnership with respect to all CVIs at the Maturity Date, or (y) at the time of issuance thereof, such Partnership Common Units would not be (A) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (other than as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-607 or Section 17-804 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act or the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership), g(B) issued in compliance with any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, (C) authorized for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (or, if the Partnership Common Units are not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such other exchange on which Partnership Common Units are then listed), subject to official notice of issuance or (D) issued either in a transaction that satisfied the requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, it

being understood that the Partnership shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the outcomes described in (A) through (D) above. Partnership Common Units issued as CVI Consideration shall be valued (for purposes of calculating the number of Partnership Common Units to be issuable to Holders) at the Common Unit Value. Any CVI Consideration not delivered when due at the Maturity Date shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the CVI Certificates to the contrary, other than in the case of interest on the CVI Consideration or the Default Amount, as applicable, no interest shall accrue on any amounts payable on the CVIs to any Holder.

(e) In the event that the Partnership determines that the CVI Consideration or the Default Amount on the Maturity Date or Default Payment Date, as applicable, is $0.00 or that the Automatic Extinguishment Event has occurred, the Partnership shall give to the Holder of each CVI notice of such determination. Upon making such determination, absent manifest error, this CVI Certificate shall terminate and become null and void and the Holder hereof shall have no further rights with respect hereto.

(g) If at any time during the period from the Issue Date through, but excluding the first day of the Averaging Period, the VWAP of one Partnership Common Unit on the New York Stock Exchange (or, if the Partnership Common Units are not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such other exchange on which the Partnership Common Units are then listed) equals or exceeds the Extinguishment Price for 20 consecutive trading days (the “Automatic Extinguishment Event”), then the CVIs will have no value and will be automatically extinguished and terminated without further consideration or action by the Partnership, the Trustee or the Holders; provided, that if during such 20 consecutive trading day period the Ex-Date with respect to any dividend or other distribution (other than the payment of a dividend or other distribution by the Partnership to its unitholders in Partnership Common Units) shall have occurred in respect of a Partnership Common Unit, for purposes of calculating the daily VWAP described above, the daily VWAP for any trading day in such 20 consecutive trading day period preceding the Ex-Date in respect of such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by the amount of such dividend or other distribution; provided further that any trading day (an

“Excluded Day”) on which the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates takes any action that it would be prohibited from taking under Section 7.04 during the Prohibited Period (as defined below) shall not be considered a trading day for purposes of the foregoing and the daily VWAP for an Excluded Day shall not be taken into account for purposes of the foregoing (it being understood that consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Excluded Day may continue to be taken into account for purposes of the 20 consecutive trading day period used to determine whether an Automatic Extinguishment Event has occurred; provided however that if an Excluded Day occurs on a trading day that would otherwise have been one of the final 3 consecutive trading days in the 20 consecutive trading day period used to determine whether an Automatic Extinguishment Event has occurred, the 20 consecutive trading day period used to determine whether an Automatic Extinguishment Event has occurred shall begin no earlier than the first trading day following such Excluded Day that is itself not an Excluded Day).

Section 3.02 Registrable Form.

The CVIs shall be issuable only in registered form.

Section 3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The CVIs shall be executed on behalf of the Partnership by the chairman of the Board of Directors, the chief-executive officer, any co-chief executive officer, the chief operating officer, the chief financial officer, the general counsel, the chief compliance officer, any president, any vice president, any treasurer, any assistant treasurer, any secretary or any assistant secretary of the Partnership or the general partner of the Partnership, under its seal which may, but need not, be attested. The signature of any of these officers on the CVIs may be manual or facsimile.

CVIs bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the general partner of the Partnership shall bind the Partnership, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such CVIs or did not hold such offices at the date of such CVIs.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Partnership may deliver CVIs executed by the general partner of the Partnership to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Partnership Order for the authentication and

delivery of such CVIs; and the Trustee in accordance with such Partnership Order shall authenticate and deliver such CVIs as provided in this Agreement and not otherwise.

Each CVI shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No CVI shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such CVI a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any CVI shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such CVI has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

Section 3.04 Temporary CVIs.

Until CVI Certificates are ready for delivery, the general partner of the Partnership may execute, and upon Partnership Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary CVIs which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, substantially of the tenor of the CVI Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such temporary CVIs may determine with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary CVIs may contain such reference to any provisions of this Agreement as may be appropriate. Every temporary CVI shall be executed by the general partner of the Partnership and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the CVI Certificates.

If temporary CVIs are issued, the Partnership will cause CVI Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of CVI Certificates, the temporary CVIs shall be exchangeable for CVI Certificates upon surrender of the temporary CVIs at the office or agency of the Partnership designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 7.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary CVIs the Partnership shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like amount of CVI Certificates. Until so exchanged, the temporary CVIs shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as CVI Certificates.

Section 3.05 Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

The Partnership shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 7.02 being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Partnership shall provide for the registration of CVIs and of transfers of CVIs. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering CVIs and transfers of CVIs as herein provided.

No CVI nor any beneficial interest therein may be directly or indirectly, sold, assigned, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part (including, without limitation, by way of any derivative or similar security or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the CVI, whether such security or arrangement is to be settled by delivery of CVIs,

Partnership Common Units, other securities, cash or otherwise) (any of the foregoing, a “Transfer”) except (i) for Transfers to the Partnership and/or any of its Affiliates, (ii) Transfers by operation of law (including a consolidation or merger) or in connection with the dissolution of any corporation or other entity, (iii) a Transfer by KKR Private Equity Investors, L.P. to the holders of Seller Partnership Units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, (iv) the Transfer of any or all of the CVIs on death, by will or intestacy, (v) a Transfer by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the CVIs are to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the settlor or testator, as applicable, (vi) Transfers made pursuant to a court order, (vii) if the Holder is a partnership, a distribution from such partnership to its partners or former partners in accordance with their partnership interests or (viii) if the Holder is a limited liability company, a distribution from such limited liability company to its members or former members in accordance with their interest in the limited liability company. Any Transfers other than those expressly permitted under the preceding sentence shall be null and void.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any CVI at the office or agency of the Partnership designated pursuant to Section 7.02 in connection with a Transfer expressly permitted under the preceding paragraph, the Partnership shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new CVI Certificates representing the same aggregate number of CVIs represented by the CVI Certificate so surrendered that are to be transferred and the Partnership shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the transferor, one or more new CVI Certificates representing the aggregate number of CVIs represented by such CVI Certificate that are not to be transferred.

At the option of the Holder, CVI Certificates may be exchanged for other CVI Certificates that represent in the aggregate the same number of CVIs as the CVI Certificates surrendered at such office or agency. Whenever any CVI Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Partnership shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the CVI Certificates which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All CVIs issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of CVIs shall be the valid obligations of the Partnership, evidencing the same right, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement and subject to the same limitations under this Agreement (including the Transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement), as the CVIs surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every CVI presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Partnership or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Partnership and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of CVIs, but the Partnership may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of CVIs, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04 or not involving any transfer.

Section 3.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen CVIs.

If (a) any mutilated CVI is surrendered to the Trustee or (b) the Partnership and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any CVI, and there is delivered to the Partnership and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Partnership or the Trustee that such CVI has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Partnership shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated CVI or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen CVI, a new CVI Certificate of like tenor and amount of CVIs, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen CVI has become or is to become due and payable within 15 days, the Partnership in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new CVI Certificate, pay such CVI on the Maturity Date or the Default Payment Date, as the case may be.

Upon the issuance of any new CVIs under this Section 3.06, the Partnership may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new CVI issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen CVI shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Partnership, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen CVI shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other CVIs duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 3.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen CVIs.

Section 3.07 Presentation of CVI Certificate.

Delivery of any CVI Consideration to the Holders of the CVIs shall be made only upon presentation by the Holder thereof at the office or agency of the Partnership maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or the Corporate Trust Office and at any other office or agency maintained by the Partnership for such purpose. The Holder of a CVI shall furnish to the Partnership such forms, certificates or other information as the Partnership may request to establish the legal entitlement of such Holder to an exemption from withholding taxes. In the event the Partnership does not receive such forms, certificates or other evidence establishing a Holder’s legal entitlement to exemption from withholding tax, then all payments and disbursements to be made by the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement or the CVIs shall be reduced by and subject to withholding taxes. The Partnership shall have no obligation to reimburse, equalize or compensate a Holder or other Person for withholding taxes.

Section 3.08 Persons Deemed Owners.

The Partnership, the Trustee and any agent of the Partnership or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any CVI is registered as the owner of such CVI for the purpose of receiving payment on such CVI and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such CVI be overdue, and neither the Partnership, the Trustee nor any agent of the Partnership or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 3.09 Cancellation.

All CVIs surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Partnership may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any CVIs previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Partnership may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all CVIs so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No CVIs shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any CVIs cancelled as provided in this Section 3.09, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled CVIs held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Partnership Order.

THE TRUSTEE

Section 4.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) With respect to the Holders of CVIs issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the CVIs and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default with respect to the CVIs has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(b) In the absence of bad faith on its part, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Agreement.

(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that

(1) this Subsection (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section;

(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(3) no provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and

(4) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders pursuant to Section 8.09 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement.

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

Section 4.02 Certain Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Sections 3.15(a) through 3.15(d) and Section 4.01 hereof:

(a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) any request or direction of the Partnership mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Partnership Request or Partnership Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

(c) whenever in the administration of this Agreement the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;

(d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and

protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Agreement, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate number of the CVIs then Outstanding; provided that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every such investigation shall be paid by the Partnership or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee, shall be repaid by the Partnership upon demand; and

(g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

(j) except for (i) a default under Section 8.01(a) and (ii) any other event of which the Trustee has “actual knowledge,” which event, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or event unless specifically notified in writing of such event by the Partnership or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate number of CVIs Outstanding; as used herein, the term “actual knowledge” means the actual fact or statement of knowing, without any duty to make any investigation with regard thereto.

No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Section 4.03 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of CVIs.

The recitals contained herein and in the CVIs, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Partnership, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the CVIs. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Partnership of CVIs or the proceeds thereof.

Section 4.04 May Hold CVIs.

The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar or any other agent of the Partnership, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of CVIs, and, subject to Section 4.07, may otherwise deal with the Partnership with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

Section 4.05 Money Held in Trust.

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder.

Section 4.06 Compensation, Reimbursement and Indemnification of the Trustee.

The Partnership agrees

(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

(c) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, including the enforcement of this Section 4.06.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default specified in Section 8.01(c) or 8.01(d) occurs, the reasonable expenses and the compensation for services (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

Section 4.07 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

The Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.10(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period of time provided for therein. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of Section 3.10(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 4.08 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority and, to the extent there is such an institution eligible and willing to serve, having an office or agency in The City of New York. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 4.09 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 4.10.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by (i) the Partnership, by a Board Resolution or (ii) an Act of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding CVIs, delivered to the Trustee and to the Partnership.

(d) If at any time:

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 4.07 after written request therefor by the Partnership or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a CVI for at least six months, or

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 4.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Partnership or by any such Holder, or

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any case, (i) the Partnership by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or (ii) the Holder of any CVI who has been a bona fide Holder of a CVI for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Partnership, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding CVIs delivered to the Partnership and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 4.10, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Partnership. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Partnership or the Holders of the CVIs and so accepted appointment, the Holder of any CVI who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) The Partnership shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of CVIs as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Partnership fails to send such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of the Partnership.

Section 4.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Partnership and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Partnership or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Partnership shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

Section 4.11 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any CVIs shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the CVIs so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such CVIs; and such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the CVIs or in this Agreement provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

The Partnership shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that (A) such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the delivery of any consideration deliverable on CVIs in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be delivered to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and (B) that it shall give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Partnership (or by any other obligor on the CVIs) to deliver any such consideration on the CVIs when the same shall be due and payable.

Any cash or Partnership Common Units deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Partnership, in trust for the delivery of the consideration on any CVI and remaining unclaimed for one year after the Maturity Date or the Default Payment Date, as the case may be, shall be paid to the Partnership on Partnership Request, or (if then held by the Partnership) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such CVI shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Partnership for delivery thereof and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money or Partnership Common Units shall thereupon cease.

ARTICLE EIGHT

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND HOLDERS
ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

Section 8.01 Event of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Default.

“Event of Default”, with respect to CVIs, means any of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(a) material default in the performance, or material breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Partnership relating to the CVIs (other than Section 5.04), and continuance of such material default or material breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Partnership by the Trustee or to the Partnership and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% of the CVIs then Outstanding, a written notice specifying such material default or material breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

(b) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Partnership in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Partnership or for any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(c) the Partnership shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Partnership or for any substantial part of its property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

If at any time an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders holding an aggregate of at least 25% of the CVIs then Outstanding, by notice to the Partnership (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), may declare the CVIs due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration, the Partnership shall deliver to the Holder for each CVI held by the Holder the Default Amount with interest at the Default Interest Rate from the Default Payment Date through the date payment is duly provided for. The Default Amount and the related interest shall be satisfied by delivery by the Partnership of a number of Partnership Common Units having a value equal to the Default Amount and the related interest, provided, however, that the Partnership shall deliver cash to satisfy its obligation to deliver the Default Amount and related interest instead of Partnership Common Units if (x) the Partnership receives

cash directly indirectly through its subsidiaries from the Group Partnerships on or prior to the date of payment of the Default Amount in an amount adequate to satisfy delivery of the Default Amount in cash, or (y) at the time of issuance thereof, such Partnership Common Units would not be (A) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (other than as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-607 or Section 17-804 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act or the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership), (B) issued in compliance with any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, (C) authorized for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (or, if the Partnership Common Units are not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such other exchange on which Partnership Common Units are then listed), subject to official notice of issuance or (D) issued either in a transaction that satisfied the requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, it being understood that the Partnership shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the outcomes described in (A) through (D) above. The Partnership Common Units issued in respect of the Default Amount and the related interest shall be valued (for purposes of calculating the number of Partnership Common Units to be issuable to Holders) at the Default VWAP Price.

The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the CVIs shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the consideration due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Partnership shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of cash and/or number of Partnership Common Units sufficient to satisfy its obligation to deliver consideration owed in respect of CVIs which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such overdue amount at the Default Interest Rate to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and if any and all Events of Default under this Agreement, other than the nonpayment of the amounts which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority of all the CVIs then Outstanding, by written notice to the Partnership and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to the CVIs and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereof.

Section 8.02 Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt.

The Partnership covenants that in case default shall be made in the delivery of consideration owed in respect of all or any part of the CVIs when the same shall have become due and payable; whether at the Maturity Date, the Default Payment Date or otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Partnership will deliver to the Trustee (i) for the benefit of the Holders of the CVIs the whole amount, in cash or Partnership Common Units of the Partnership (at the option of the Partnership) that then shall have become due and payable on all CVIs (with interest from the date due and payable to the date of such payment upon the overdue amount at the Default Interest Rate); and (ii) such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses and

liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith (for the avoidance of doubt, the amounts referred to in the clause (ii) shall be payable even in the event that the CVI Consideration or the Default Amount, as applicable, is equal to the CVI Consideration Cap or the Default Amount Cap, as applicable).

In case the Partnership shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Partnership or other obligor upon such CVIs and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Partnership or other obligor upon such CVIs, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

In case there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Partnership or any other obligor upon the CVIs under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Partnership or its property or such other obligor, or in case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Partnership or other obligor upon the CVIs, or to the creditors or property of the Partnership or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any CVIs shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount owing and unpaid in respect of the CVIs, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Partnership or other obligor upon the CVIs, or to the creditors or property of the Partnership or such other obligor;

(b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings; and

(c) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts receivable with respect to the claims of the Holders and of the Trustee on their behalf and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient

to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith and all other amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section 4.06.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the CVIs or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Agreement, or under any of the CVIs, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the CVIs or the production thereof at any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such CVIs parties to any such proceedings.

Section 8.03 Application of Proceeds.

Any monies (including Partnership Common Units) collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article in respect of any CVIs shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee upon presentation of the several CVIs in respect of which monies (including Partnership Common Units) have been collected and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment in exchange for the presented CVIs if only partially paid or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses in respect of which monies have been collected, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys and of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and all other amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section 4.06;

SECOND: To the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the CVIs, with interest at the Default Interest Rate on all such amounts, and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the CVIs, then to the payment of such amounts without preference or priority of any CVI over any other CVI, ratably to the aggregate of such amounts due and payable; and

THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Partnership or any other person lawfully entitled thereto, including as a result of a breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.04 Suits for Enforcement.

In case an Event of Default or any other breach of this Agreement has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Agreement or by law.

Section 8.05 Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Agreement and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Partnership and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Partnership, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

Section 8.06 Limitations on Suits by Holders.

No Holder of any CVI shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of this Agreement to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than 25% of the CVIs then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.09; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every CVI with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of CVIs shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provision of this Agreement to effect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holder of CVIs, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of CVIs. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 8.07 Unconditional Right of Holders to Institute Certain Suits.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement and any provision of any CVI, the right of any Holder of any CVI to receive payment of the amounts payable in respect of such CVI on or after the respective due dates expressed in such CVI, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the enforcement of any of the other provisions hereof, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 8.08 Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default.

Except as provided in Section 8.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default or any other breach of the provisions hereunder occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 8.06, every power and remedy given by this Agreement or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

Section 8.09 Control by Holders.

The Holders of a majority of the CVIs at the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the CVIs by this Agreement; provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Agreement; and provided further that (subject to the provisions of Section 4.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the CVIs not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 4.01) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders.

Nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by Holders.

Section 8.10 Waiver of Past Defaults.

Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the CVIs as provided in Section 8.01, in the case of a default or an Event of Default specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section 8.01, the Holders of a majority of all the CVIs then Outstanding may waive any such default or Event of Default, and its consequences, except a default in respect of a covenant or provisions hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each CVI affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Partnership, the Trustee and the Holders of the CVIs shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 8.11 Trustee to Give Notice of Default, but May Withhold in Certain Circumstances.

The Trustee shall transmit to the Holders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Security Register, notice by mail of all defaults which have occurred, such notice to be transmitted within 45 days after the occurrence thereof unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “default” or “defaults” for the purposes of this Section being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default); provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the amounts payable in respect of any of the CVIs, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 8.12 Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs.

All parties to this Agreement agree, and each Holder of any CVI by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith or the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the CVIs Outstanding or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of any CVI on or after the due date expressed in such CVI.
