WHEREAS, Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B) of the Partnership Agreement provides that the affirmative vote or prior written consent of the Record Holders of the Series A Required Voting Percentage shall be required for any amendment to the Partnership Agreement that is adverse to any of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Units; and
