THE GENERAL PARTNERS

3.1 General. The General Partners shall devote such time and attention to the business of the Partnership as may be reasonably necessary to carry out its duties hereunder in the conduct of such business, but, subject to any policies adopted by the Partnership or the Managing General Partner, neither this Agreement nor the relationship of the parties as partners shall remove or impair the right of the officers, directors and stockholders of the General Partners to be otherwise employed by an entity or entities other than the Partnership on a part-time or full- time basis. The General Partners shall have the power and authority to appoint Partnership officers and employees as the General Partners deem necessary or appropriate. Nothing herein shall prevent any officer, director, stockholder or employee of a General Partner or of the Partnership from becoming an Assignee or a Limited Partner, whereupon that Person

shall be entitled to all rights and shall be subject to all obligations relating to such Units and shall as to such Units be deemed as Assignee or a Limited Partner, as applicable.

3.2 Management Power. The Managing General Partner shall have exclusive discretion in the management and control of the business of the Partnership, shall make all decisions affecting the business of the Partnership, shall act as tax matters partners for the Partnership and may take such actions as it deems necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of the Partnership as set forth herein. The Managing General Partner shall be Xxxx MGP, Inc. (“MGP”), a Delaware corporation and any successor to MGP which becomes Managing General Partner of the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement. If there is no successor to MGP which becomes Managing General Partner pursuant to this Agreement, then the Equity General Partner shall be Managing General Partner until a meeting of the Partners can be convened to elect a Person to serve as Managing General Partner hereunder. When such election takes effect, the Equity General Partner shall cease to serve as Managing General Partner. The Equity General Partner shall be Xxxx EGP, Inc. (“EGP”), a Delaware corporation, and any successor to EGP which becomes Equity General Partner pursuant to this Agreement. The purposes of the Equity General Partner as a General Partner hereunder shall be solely to continue the business of the Partnership and to serve as Managing General Partner until an election is held in the event there is no successor Managing General Partner pursuant to this Agreement and, together with the Managing General Partner, to initially have and to maintain sufficient assets in order to ensure, to the extent possible, that the Partnership will be treated as a partnership, rather than an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

3.3 Powers of the Managing General Partner. Subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.9, in connection with such management and control, the Managing General Partner shall have the power and authority to do or cause to be done any and all acts deemed by the Managing General Partner to be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Partnership including, but not limited to, causing the Partnership to contribute some or all of the properties of the Partnership to an operating partnership in order to minimize state recording problems. The power and authority of the Managing General Partner shall be liberally construed to encompass all acts and activities in which a partnership may engage. Any Person dealing with the Managing General Partner shall not be required to determine or inquire into the authority and power of the Managing General Partner to bind the Partnership and to execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents. The expression of any power or right of the Managing General Partner in this Agreement shall not limit or exclude any other power or right which is not specifically or expressly set forth in this Agreement.

3.4 Liability of General Partners. The General Partners shall be liable to the Partnership for gross negligence or willful misconduct but neither the General Partners nor their directors, officers, or stockholders nor the officers of the Partnership shall be liable to the Partnership or to Persons who have acquired interest in the Units, whether as Assignees or otherwise, for errors in judgment or omissions that do not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. In all transactions for or with the Partnership the General Partners shall act in good faith and in a manner which the General Partners believes to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership.

3.5 Similar Activities of General Partners. Subject to any policies adopted by the Partnership or the General Partners, the directors, officers and stockholders of the General Partners and the Partnership officers may, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, through a Related Person or other entity in which any such Person holds an ownership interest), engage in any and all aspects of any business in which the Partnership is engaged or plans to engage, or any other businesses and activities, whether competitive with the Partnership or otherwise, for their own account and for the account of others, without having or incurring any obligation to offer any interest in such properties, businesses or activities to the Partnership or any Partner or Assignee, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prevent any such Person from conducting such other businesses and activities. Neither the Partnership nor any of the Partners or Assignees shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any independent business ventures of such Person. However, all records kept and maintained by the Managing General Partner for the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement shall be maintained separately from those for other operations of such Persons.

3.6 Indemnification.

(A) Subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (B) of this Section 3.6, the General Partners (including in their capacity as the Partnership Representative), the stockholders, directors and officers of the General Partners (including in their capacity as the Designated Individual) and the Partnership officers (individually, an “Indemnitee”), shall each, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint and several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, costs, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, (1) in which the Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise (a) by reason of its present or former status as a General Partner or a stockholder, director, officer or employee of a General Partner, the Partnership or the Company, (b) by reason of its present or former status in serving, at the request of the Partnership, a General Partner or the Company, as a partner, director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as a member of a committee or similar body, or (c) by reason of its management of the affairs of a General Partner, the Partnership or the Company, or (2) which relate to the property, business or affairs of a General Partner or the Partnership, whether or not the Indemnitee continues to be a General Partner or a stockholder, director or officer of a General Partner, the Partnership or the Company at the time any such liability or expense is paid or incurred, and whether or not the liability or expense accrued or relates to, in whole or in part, any time on, before or after the date of this Agreement. The Managing General Partner shall have the right and power, but not the obligation unless otherwise agreed, to indemnify and hold harmless present or former employees, agents, advisers, consultants and counsel of or to the General Partners, the Partnership or the Company (including any custodian, investment adviser, accountant, attorney, corporate fiduciary, trustee, bank, other financial institution, or other agent or Person who serves or served in such capacity for the Partnership, a General Partner or a Related Person) against liabilities incurred by them in acting in any such capacity.

(B) An Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.6 with respect to any Claim, Issue or Matter in which it has been adjudged to have engaged in (1) a breach of the Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Partnership or its General Partners; (2) an act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a known violation of law; (3) an act pertaining to a distribution of Partnership Assets in violation of the terms of the Partnership Agreement or applicable law; or (4) a transaction from which the Indemnitee derived an improper personal benefit; unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action was brought, or another court of competent jurisdiction, should determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for liabilities and expenses as the court shall deem proper. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith or a presumption that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe or did believe that its conduct was unlawful.

(C) An Indemnitee’s expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Partnership as authorized hereunder.

(D) The indemnification provided by this Section 3.6 shall be in addition to any other rights to which the Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, by-law provision, vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to action in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a General Partner or as a present or former stockholder, director or officer of a General Partner, the Partnership or the Company and to action in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee. The parties intend for this Section 3.6 to be liberally construed.

(E) The Managing General Partner and the Partnership may, but shall not be required to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of Indemnitees and such other Persons as the Managing General Partner shall determine against any liability which may be asserted against or expense which may be incurred by such Person in connection with the activities of a General Partner, the Partnership or the Company whether or not the Managing General Partner or the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(F) For purposes of this Section 3.6, the Partnership, the Company and the General Partners shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by the Indemnitee of its duties to the Partnership, a General Partner or the Company also imposed duties on, or otherwise involved services by, the Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be deemed “fines” within the meaning of Section 3.6(A); and action taken or omitted by it with respect to an

employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership, the General Partners or the Company, as the case may be.

(G) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 3.6 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was approved pursuant to Section 3.8 or meets the standards of Section 3.8.

3.7 Other Matters Concerning General Partners.

(A) Each of the General Partners may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, 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) Each of the General Partners may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, including, without limitation, any Related Person. Each of the General Partners (including in their capacity as the Partnership Representative) may consult with counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers, and other consultants and advisers selected by it (who may serve as such for the Partnership or any Related Person) and any opinion of such Person as to matters which the General Partner believes to be within its professional or expert competence shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by the General Partner hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion. Neither of the General Partners shall be responsible for the misconduct, negligence, acts or omissions of any such Person or of any agent or employee of the Partnership, a General Partner or a Related Person, and shall assume no obligations in connection therewith other than the obligation to use due care in the selection of such Persons.

(C) Any and all fees, commissions, compensation and other consideration received by a General Partner or a director, officer or stockholder of the General Partner or of the Partnership permitted hereunder shall be the exclusive property of the recipient, in which the Partnership shall have no right or claim, and the participation by any such Person in any agreement permitted hereunder shall not constitute a breach by such Person of any duty that it may owe the Partnership or the Limited Partners or Assignees under this Agreement or by operation of law.

3.8 Agreements with a General Partner or a Related Person.

(A) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.8, the General Partners and any Related Person may, directly or indirectly, deal with the Partnership in connection with carrying out the business of the Partnership or otherwise, as an independent contractor or as an agent for others, and may receive from such others or the Partnership profits, compensation, commissions or other amounts which the Managing General Partner in good faith believes to be reasonable without having to account to the Partnership therefore.

(B) The satisfaction of anyone of the following conditions shall be a complete defense to any claim of invalidity or for damages or other relief with respect to any agreement or transaction between the Partnership and any General Partner(s) or a Related Person based upon the fact that the General Partner(s) or Related Person is a party thereto:

(1) The material facts as to the agreement or transaction and as to the relationship or interest of the General Partner(s) or Related Person are fully disclosed or known to members of the board of directors of the Managing General Partner who are not interested in the agreement or transaction, and a majority of such disinterested members of the board of directors of the Managing General Partner affirmatively vote in good faith to authorize, approve or ratify the agreement or transaction, or, in the event that the Managing General Partner is a partnership, after disclosure of the material facts as to the relationship or interest of the General Partner(s) or Related Person, the agreement or transaction is approved, authorized or ratified by the general partner(s) or partners of the Managing General Partner not interested in the transaction by a majority vote; or

(2) The material facts as to the agreement or transaction and as to the relationship or interest of the General Partner(s) or Related Person are fully disclosed or known to the Partners and the agreement or transaction is specifically authorized, approved or ratified in good faith by a Majority Interest; or

(3) The agreement or transaction is fair as to the Partnership at the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Managing General Partner.

(C) Each of the Persons who is or becomes a Partner or Assignee hereby approves, ratifies and confirms any agreements, acts, transactions or matters described in the Proxy Statement and authorizes, ratifies and confirms the execution of such agreements by the Managing General Partner or the taking of such action on behalf of the Partnership without any further act, approval or vote of the Partners or the Partnership.

If the Managing General Partner is not an individual, the Managing General Partner shall designate an eligible individual through whom the Partnership Representative shall act (the “Designated Individual”). The Designated Individual may be removed by the Managing General Partner at any time permitted by the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures, and shall resign if directed to do so by the Managing General Partner. In the event the Designated Individual resigns or is removed, a replacement Designated Individual shall be designated by the Managing General Partner if so required.

(B) For all Partnership taxable years beginning on or prior to December 31, 2017, the Partnership Representative shall have the duties of a “tax matters partner” (as in effect prior to the effective date of the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures) as required by the Code.

ARTICLE 4

4.1 Reimbursement and Compensation of General Partners

(A) The Partnership shall pay all of the costs and expenses incurred or accrued by the General Partners (including in their capacity as the Partnership Representative) in connection with the business and affairs of the Partnership, including, without limitation, all overhead and operating expenses, employee compensation, benefits and other expenses (including, without limitation, fees and other compensation and expenses of officers, directors, agents and employees of the General Partners), indemnification expenses and amounts paid to any Person to acquire or dispose of interests in any property, to settle claims or to perform services for the Partnership, in each case as the Managing General Partner in its sole discretion shall authorize or approve. The General Partners shall be promptly reimbursed by the Partnership for any such items paid by the General Partners and the Partnership shall from time to time advance amounts to the General Partners for the payment of such items.

(B) Compensation of the officers and employees of the General Partners and the Partnership shall be as determined by, or pursuant to the direction of, the board of directors of the Managing General Partner or a committee of that board.

(C) The Partnership shall pay an annual fee to the General Partners of $150,000 to be allocated between the General Partners as the General Partners shall agree.

(D) Members of the Board of Directors of the Managing General Partner shall initially receive an annual fee of $9,000 and a fee for each board or committee meeting attended. The Managing General Partner, in its sole discretion, may increase the annual fee and/or authorize

payment of director’s fees to the directors of the Equity General Partner; provided however, that such director’s fees shall, in the opinion of the Managing General Partner, be reasonably competitive with the director’s fees of comparable entities. Members of the Board of Directors of the Managing General Partner will also receive reimbursement for travel and other expenses related to attendance at meetings of the board of directors and of committees.

4.2 Change in Compensation. From time to time, the Managing General Partner may propose and effect any additional or substitute compensation plans or arrangements without the need for any vote or approval of Partners, except that the approval of a Majority Interest shall be required to increase the fee of the General Partners set forth in Section 4.1(C).

ARTICLE 5

THE LIMITED PARTNERS AND ASSIGNEES

5.1 Limited Liability. No Limited Partner or Assignee (except for a General Partner in its capacity as a General Partner as provided in this Agreement) shall be personally liable for any of the debts or liabilities of the Partnership or for any Net Losses beyond the amount of the Allocable Share of the Capital Contribution made or agreed to be made to the Partnership by the Limited Partner or Assignee and any undistributed Net Income allocated to the Limited Partner or Assignee. However, to the extent required by law, each Limited Partner or Assignee receiving actual or constructive distributions will be liable to return distributions, with interest. The General Partners may not seek to recover any such distribution unless the Managing General Partner has applied all other Partnership assets to the payment of liabilities of the Partnership and the liabilities of the Partnership, other than to Partners and Assignees as such, have not been fully paid, satisfied, assumed or discharged. Any Limited Partner returning all or any part of a distribution actually received by an Assignee or successor of the Limited Partner shall be subrogated to the Partnership’s right to seek a return of that distribution. In no event shall any Limited Partner or Assignee be obligated under any circumstances to make any additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership for any purpose whatsoever.

The obligation of a Partner to make a contribution or return money or property to the Partnership may be compromised either by the written consent or agreement of the Managing General Partner or with the approval of a Majority Interest.

5.2 Restrictions on Limited Partners.

(A) No Limited Partner or Assignee shall participate as such in the management and control of the business of the Partnership, transact any business for the Partnership, or attempt to do so, unless such Limited Partner or Assignee is also the General Partner or other Person employed or engaged to transact any such business by or on behalf of the General Partner or the Partnership. The transaction of any such business by a Limited Partner or Assignee employed or engaged to do so by or on behalf of the General Partner or the Partnership shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Limited Partner or Assignee under this Agreement.

(B) No Limited Partner or Assignee shall have the power to represent, sign for or bind a General Partner or the Partnership, unless the Limited Partner or Assignee is also the General Partner or other Person given such power by a General Partner or the Partnership, including, without limitation, a Limited Partner or Assignee given power to act as the Depositary, transfer agent or registrar for the Partnership.

5.3 Outside Activities. Limited Partners and Assignees shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any of the Partners shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any independent business ventures of any other Limited Partner or Assignee.

5.4 No Withdrawal or Dissolution. No Limited Partner shall at any time withdraw from the Partnership. No Limited Partner shall have the right to have the Partnership dissolved or the right to a return of its capital contribution from or payment of its capital account by the Partnership, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The legal incompetency, bankruptcy, termination, dissolution, withdrawal, or death of a Limited Partner shall not cause dissolution of the Partnership.

5.5 Xxxx as Partnership Name. The use of “Xxxx” in the name of the Partnership refers to the corporate names of the General Partners, Xxxx MGP, Inc. and Xxxx EGP, Inc. The fact that the name Xxxx may also be the name of a Limited Partner or Assignee or a director, officer or stockholder of a General Partner is not intended to suggest the appearance of the participating of any such person in the management and control of the business of the Partnership, and the use of the name Xxxx in the name of this Partnership is not intended to refer to any Limited Partner or Assignee. The Managing General Partner shall cause the name of the Partnership to be changed to delete the use of “Xxxx” in the event that the Xxxx MGP, Inc. and Xxxx EGP, Inc. cease to serve as General Partners of the Partnership and no successor General Partner uses the name “Xxxx”.

5.6 Assignees. An assignment of Limited Partners’ Units does not dissolve the Partnership or entitle the transferee to become or to exercise any rights of a Limited Partner except as provided in Articles 14 and 15 hereof. An assignment entitles the transferee merely to become an Assignee or Substituted Limited Partner as provided in Articles 14 and 15 upon application therefore. A Limited Partner remains a Limited Partner upon transfer of all or part of the Limited Partners’ Units, subject to the Assignee becoming a Substituted Limited Partner pursuant to Article 15 of this Agreement. An Assignee who does not become a Substituted Limited Partner has no right to require any information or account of Partnership transactions, to inspect the Partnership books, or to vote and is otherwise subject to the limitations under the Delaware Act on the rights of an Assignee who has not become a Substituted Limited Partner. In the absence of written application to the Partnership in accordance with Article 14, any payment in respect thereto by the Partnership to the assigning Limited Partner or Assignee or the personal representative of the assigning Limited Partner or Assignee shall acquit the Partnership of liability to the extent of such payment to any Person who may have an interest in such payment

by reason of an assignment by the Limited Partner or Assignee or the successors or Assignees of the Partner or Assignee, or by reason of the death of such Partner or Assignee or otherwise.

ARTICLE 6

MEETINGS AND VOTING: AMENDMENTS

6.1 Meetings. Meetings of the Partners may be called by the Managing General Partner or by Limited Partners owning at least ten percent (10%) of the Units as to a matter on which Partners have the right to vote. Any Partner calling a meeting shall specify the number of Units as to which the Partner is exercising the right to call a meeting, and only those specified Units shall be counted for the purpose of determining whether the required ten percent (10%) standard of the preceding sentence has been met. Partners shall call a meeting by delivering the Managing General Partner one or more calls in writing stating that the signing Persons wish to call a meeting and indicating the general or specific purposes for which the meeting is to be called. Within twenty (20) days after receipt of such a call from Partners or within such a greater time as may be reasonably necessary for the Partnership to comply with any statutes, rules, regulations, listing agreements or similar requirements governing the holding of a meeting or the solicitation of proxies by the General Partners for use at such a meeting, the Managing General Partner shall send a notice of the meeting to the Partners, either directly or indirectly through the Depositary. A meeting shall be held at a time and place determined by the Managing General Partner on a date not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days after the mailing of notice of the meeting. Partners may vote either in person or by proxy at any meeting. Either of the General Partners may solicit proxies with respect to any matter proposed to be considered at a meeting of Partners. No matter shall be voted upon by Partners at any meeting of the Partners unless the requirements of Section 6.9 shall be satisfied as to such matter. Any Partner approval at a meeting, other than unanimous approval by those entitled to vote shall be valid only if the general nature of the proposal was stated in the notice of meeting or in any written waiver of notice.

6.2 Notice of a Meeting, Reports. Notice of a meeting called pursuant to Section 6.1 and any report shall be given either personally or by mail or other means of written communication, addressed to the Partner at the address of the Partner appearing on the books of the Partnership or, if no address appears or is given at the place where the principal executive office of the Partnership is located or by publication at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the principal executive office is located. The notice or report shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by other means of written communication. An affidavit or certificate of mailing of any notice or report in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6, executed by the Managing General Partner, Depositary, transfer agent, registrar of Units or mailing organization shall be prima facie evidence of the giving of the notice or report. If any notice or report addressed to the Partner at the address of the Partner appearing on the books of the Partnership is returned to the Partnership by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver it, said notice or report and any subsequent notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing if they are available for

the Partner at the principal executive office of the Partnership for a period of one year from the date of the giving of the notice or report to all other Partners.

6.3 Record Date. For purposes of determining the Partners entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Partners, the Managing General Partner may set a Record Date which shall be not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. If no Record Date is fixed:

(A) The Record Date for determining Partners entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Partners shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

(B) The Record Date for determining Partners for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Managing General Partner adopts it, or the sixtieth (60th) day prior to the date of the other action, whichever is later.

6.4 Adjournment. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting, and a new Record Date need not be fixed, if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken unless such adjournment shall be for more than forty-five (45) days. At the adjourned meeting the Partnership may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days or if a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with this Article 6.

6.5 Waiver of Notice. Consent to Meeting: Approval of Minutes. The transactions of any meeting of Partners, however called and noticed, and whenever held, are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the Persons entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All waivers, consents, and approvals shall be filed with the Partnership records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance of a Person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when the Person objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required to be included in the notice of the meeting but not so included, if the objection is expressly made at the meeting.

6.6 Quorum. A Majority Interest represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Partners. The Partners present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Partners to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the requisite percentage of interests of Partners specified in this Agreement. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of Partners may be adjourned from time to

time by the vote of a majority of the Units represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted, except as provided in Section 6.1.

6.7 Conduct of Meeting. The Managing General Partner shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of Partners, including, without limitation, the determination of Person entitled to vote at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 6.9, the conduct of voting, the validity and effect of any proxies, and the determination of any controversies, votes, or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting. The Managing General Partner shall designate a Person to serve as chairman of the meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of the meeting, and in either case such Person may be, without limitation, a partner, director or officer of the Managing General Partner. All minutes shall be kept with the records of the Partnership maintained by the Managing General Partner.

6.8 Voting Rights.

The Partners shall call a meeting as provided in Section 6.1 for the purpose of considering removal of a General Partner. Such removal shall be effective in the manner provided in Section 16.1.

“Qualifying Units” means (i) Units issued upon initial formation of the Partnership which have been continuously held by a Unitholder or by a member of the Unitholder’s Family at least until the record date for the removal vote and (ii) Units which have been held by a Unitholder or by a member of the Unitholder’s Family for a period of not less than five (5) years as of the record date for the removal vote.

“Unitholder’s Family” means the lineal descendants and present and former spouses of the Unitholder, any present or former spouse of such persons, any lineal descendants

Units held by the Unitholder’s Family shall include any Units held for the benefit of the Unitholder’s Family by a broker, nominee, pledgee, custodian, receiver, or the like. In no event shall any Units be counted more than once if more than one member of the Unitholder’s Family has the requisite interest in such Units.

(C) In the event that there is a change in the beneficial ownership of MGP such that all of the directors of MGP become shareholders of MGP pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, then commencing one year from the date of such event, and at any time thereafter, the Partners shall have the right to vote on removal of and remove a General Partner and elect a successor General Partner by the affirmative vote of a Majority Interest (not including the votes with respect to any Units held by the General Partner to be removed as such and not considering any such Units as outstanding for purposes of determining a Majority Interest).

(E) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Partners shall have no voting rights.

6.9 Voting Rights Conditional. The voting rights set forth in Section 6.8 shall not be exercised unless the Partnership shall have received a favorable written opinion of counsel for the Partnership to the effect that the exercise of such right and the action proposed to be taken with respect to any particular matter (l) shall not cause the Limited Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management and control of the business and affairs of the Partnership so as to subject the Limited Partners to unlimited liability therefore, (2) will not jeopardize the status of the Partnership as a partnership under applicable tax laws and regulations, and (3) is otherwise permissible under the state statutes then governing the rights, duties and liabilities of the Partnership and the Partners. If counsel for the Partnership has indicated that it is unable or unwilling to deliver such an opinion, the Managing General Partner may take any action described in Section 6.8(A), other than the actions set forth in Sections 6.8(A)(7) and 6.8(A)(8), without the need for a vote of Partners.

6.10 Amendments by the Managing General Partner; Procedure on Amendment. Subject to Section 6.11, the Managing General Partner may without prior notice or consent of any Partner amend any provision of this Agreement (1) to elect to be bound by any successor Delaware statute governing limited partnerships, (2) if in its opinion such amendment does not have a materially adverse effect upon the Limited Partners or the Partnership, as the case may be, other than Limited Partners who consent to amendment, (3) the amendment is necessary, in the

opinion of counsel to the Partnership, to prevent the Partnership, the officers of the Partnership, or the general Partners or the directors, officers or shareholders of a General Partner from being in any manner subject to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or “plan asset” regulations adopted under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, whether or not substantially similar to plan asset regulations currently applied or proposed by the Department of Labor, (4) to reflect the exercise of any power granted to the Managing General Partner under this Agreement, (5) to make any change which, in the sole discretion of the Managing General Partner, is advisable to qualify or to continue the qualification of the Partnership, as a limited partnership or a partnership in which the Limited Partners have limited liability under the laws of any state or that is necessary or advisable in the sole discretion of the Managing General Partner to ensure that the Partnership will not be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, (6) to make any change is necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion of the Managing General Partner, to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any federal or state agency or contained in any federal or state statute or that is necessary or desirable in order to implement the provisions of Section 9.1(D), or that is necessary or desirable to facilitate the trading of the Depositary Receipts or comply with any rule, regulation, guidelines or requirement of any securities exchange or market system on which the Depositary Receipts are or will be listed for trading, compliance with any of which the Managing General Partner deems to be in the best interests of the Partnership and the Limited Partners, and (7) any other amendment similar to the foregoing. Such amendment shall thereafter be disclosed to the Limited Partners within a reasonable time. The Managing General Partner shall promptly furnish to Limited Partners a copy of any amendment to this Agreement executed by a General Partner pursuant to a power of attorney from the Limited Partners. If an amendment shall have been approved pursuant to this Article 6, the Managing General Partner shall execute such amendment, certificate and other documents as may be reasonably required for the purpose of effectuating the amendment; provided, however, that nothing in this Article 6 shall affect the authority of the Managing General Partner to admit Additional Limited Partners or Substituted Limited Partners.

6.11 Prohibited Amendments.

(A) Except with the affirmative vote of the Managing General Partner and Partners of record holding at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the Units held of record by all Partners, no amendment shall (i) modify the provision regarding the liabilities of the Partners; (ii) reduce the percentage of votes required herein of the Partners; (iii) result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner or Assignee who does not consent thereto or result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes (unless the Partnership is already treated as an association taxable as a corporation due to changes in federal income tax laws); or (iv) change the form of the Partnership to a general partnership.

(B) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.10, the consent of the Equity General Partner shall be required for any amendment, if such amendment would increase the Equity General Partner’s duties or liabilities or if the Partnership has received an opinion of counsel that such amendment would have materially adverse consequences to the Equity General Partner.

ARTICLE 7
