fullest extent authorized or permitted by law (including the applicable provisions of the
Partnership Statute and the LLC Statute). The phrase &#147;to the fullest extent permitted by law&#148;

Partnership Statute and the LLC Statute that authorizes or permits additional indemnification by
agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the Partnership

Indemnitee&#146;s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order of the
court, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of

misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee&#146;s conduct

Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the MLP and the Company shall contribute to
the amount of Expenses actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect (a)&nbsp;the relative benefits received by the MLP or the
Company on one hand and Indemnitee on the other from the transaction from which such Proceeding
arose and (b)&nbsp;the relative fault of the MLP or the Company on the one hand and of Indemnitee on the
other in connection with the events that resulted in such Expenses as well as any other relevant

circumstances resulting in such Expenses. Each of the MLP and the Company agrees that it would not

equitable considerations.

Directors (&#147;Principal Counsel&#148;) shall be determined by majority vote of the Outside Directors who
are seeking indemnification, and the Principal Counsel for the Indemnitees who are not Outside
Directors (&#147;Separate Counsel&#148;) shall be determined by majority vote of such Indemnitees, in each

The obligation of the MLP and the Company to reimburse Indemnitee for the fees and disbursements
of counsel hereunder shall not extend to the fees and disbursements of any counsel employed by
Indemnitee other than Principal Counsel or Separate Counsel, as the case may be, unless Indemnitee
has interests that are different from those of the other Indemnitees or defenses available to him
that are in addition to or different from those of the other Indemnitees such that Principal
Counsel or Separate Counsel, as the case may be, would have an actual or potential conflict of
interest in representing Indemnitee.

within three business days after receipt of Indemnitee&#146;s written request accompanied by
substantiating documentation and Indemnitee&#146;s written affirmation as described in subsection (c)
below. No objections based on or involving the question whether such charges meet the definition
of &#147;Expenses,&#148; including any question regarding the reasonableness of such Expenses, shall be
grounds for failure to advance to such Indemnitee, or to reimburse such Indemnitee for, the amount
claimed within such three business day period, and the undertaking of Indemnitee set forth in this
Section&nbsp;7 to repay any such amount to the extent it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification shall be deemed to include an undertaking to repay any such amounts
determined not to have met such definition.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay to the MLP and the Company (i)&nbsp;any advances or
payment of Expenses made pursuant to this Section&nbsp;7 and (ii)&nbsp;any judgments, penalties, fines and
settlements paid to or on behalf of Indemnitee hereunder, in each case to the extent that it is
ultimately determined in a final judgment or other final adjudication of a court of competent
jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

affirms (i)&nbsp;that Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct for indemnification and (ii)
that such Expenses or such judgments, penalties, fines and settlements, as the case may be, are
delivered pursuant and are subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

indemnification payment under this Agreement, other than pursuant to Section&nbsp;7 hereof, shall be
made no later than 30&nbsp;days after receipt by the MLP and the Company of the written request of
Indemnitee, accompanied by substantiating documentation, unless a determination is made within said
30-day period that Indemnitee has not met the relevant standards for indemnification set forth in
Section&nbsp;3 hereof by (a)&nbsp;the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
directors who are not or were not parties to such Proceeding, (b)&nbsp;a committee of the Board of
Directors designated by majority vote of the Board

Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that indemnification is
not appropriate shall be on the MLP and the Company. Neither the failure of the MLP or the Company

to action in another capacity while holding such office; provided, however, that this Agreement
supersedes all prior written indemnification agreements between the MLP or the Company (or any
predecessor thereof) and Indemnitee with respect to the subject matter hereof. However, Indemnitee
shall reimburse the MLP and the Company for amounts paid to Indemnitee pursuant to such other
rights to the extent such payments duplicate any payments received pursuant to this Agreement.

employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability
company or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject
to any possible Proceeding (notwithstanding the fact that Indemnitee has ceased to serve the MLP or
the Company).

indemnification by the MLP and the Company for a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the
total amount thereof, the MLP and the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the
portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled.
