Immediately as of the close of business on the date of conversion pursuant to this Section 5.26(b)(ii), which date shall be prior to the fifth Business Day following the date of delivery of notice by the Partnership, all or such portion of the Outstanding Series I Preferred Units shall automatically convert into Common Units, at the then-applicable Series I Conversion Ratio, subject to payment of any accrued but unpaid distributions to the date of conversion in accordance with Section 5.26(b)(iv).

(iii) At any time, provided that the average daily trading volume of the Common Units on the National Securities Exchange upon which such Common Units are listed or admitted to trading was at least 1,168,750 Common Units (subject to appropriate adjustment in accordance with Section 5.26(b)(xi)) for 20-trading days over the 30-trading day period ending on the close of trading on the trading day immediately prior to the date of delivery of notice by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 5.26(b)(iii), if the VWAP Price for 20 trading days over the 30-trading day period ending on the close of trading on the trading day immediately prior to the date of delivery of notice by the Partnership to any Series I Holder of exercise of its conversion right pursuant to this Section 5.26(b)(iii) is greater than (x) the Series I Preferred Unit Price divided by (y) the then-applicable Series I Conversion Ratio, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may convert all, but not less than all, of the Outstanding Series I Preferred Units into a number of Common Units equal to the Adjusted Conversion Amount. The Partnership shall deliver to each Series I Holder a written notice at least 5 Business Days prior to the date of the expected conversion. Immediately as of the close of business on the date of conversion pursuant to this Section 5.26(b)(iii), which date shall be prior to the fifth Business Day following the date of delivery of notice by the Partnership, all Outstanding Series I Preferred Units shall automatically convert into Common Units, subject to payment of any accrued but unpaid distributions to the date of conversion in accordance with Section 5.26(b)(iv).

(iv) The Partnership shall make a cash payment to any Series I Holder with respect to any Series I Preferred Units converted pursuant to this Section 5.26(b) to account for any accrued but unpaid distributions on such Series I Preferred Units as of the date of such conversion.

(v) Upon conversion, the rights of a holder of converted Series I Preferred Units as a Series I Holder shall cease with respect to such converted Series I Preferred Units, including any rights under this Agreement with respect to Series I Holders, and such Person shall continue to be a Limited Partner and have the rights of a holder of Common Units under this Agreement. Each Series I Preferred Unit shall, upon its Series I Conversion Date, be deemed to be transferred to, and cancelled by, the Partnership in exchange for the issuance of the Common Unit(s) into which such Series I Preferred Unit converted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as the result of a conversion, a holder shall not lose or relinquish any claims or rights of action such holder may then or thereafter have as a result of such holder’s ownership of the converted Series I Preferred Units.

(vi) The Partnership shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of Common Units upon conversion of the Series I Preferred Units. However, the holder shall pay any tax or duty which may be payable relating to any transfer involving the issuance or delivery of Common Units in a name other than the holder’s name. The Transfer Agent may refuse to deliver the Certificate representing Common Units (or notation of book-entry) being issued in a name other than the holder’s name until the Transfer Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duties due because the Units are to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.

(vii) The Partnership shall keep free from preemptive rights a sufficient number of Common Units to permit the conversion of all outstanding Series I Preferred Units into Common Units to the extent provided in, and in accordance with, this Section 5.26(b).

(viii) All Common Units delivered upon conversion of the Series I Preferred Units in accordance with this Section 5.26(b) shall be (1) newly issued, (2) duly authorized, validly issued fully paid and non-assessable Limited Partner Interests in the Partnership, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-607 or 17-804 of the Delaware Act, and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien, claim, rights or encumbrances, other than those arising under the Delaware Act or the Partnership Agreement and (3) with respect to Common Units delivered upon a conversion in accordance with Section 5.26(b)(ii) or (iii), registered for public resale under the Securities Act, pursuant to an effective registration statement that is then available for the resale of such Common Units.

(ix) The Partnership shall comply with all applicable securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of any Common Units upon conversion of Series I Preferred Units and, if the Common Units are then listed or quoted on any National Securities Exchange or other market shall list or cause to have quoted and keep listed and quoted the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the Series I Preferred Units to the extent permitted or required by the rules of such exchange or market.

(x) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with any conversion of Series I Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.26(b)(i) or (ii), (A) each Series I Preferred Unit must be converted together with all Series I PIK Units issued as distributions thereon, and (B) each Series I PIK Unit must be converted together with the Series I Preferred Unit in connection with which such Series I PIK Unit was distributed; provided, however, that in the event that compliance with this Section 5.26(b)(x) would result in the conversion of any fractional Series I Preferred Unit or Series I PIK Unit, the number of Series I Preferred Units or Series I PIK Units to be converted shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Series I Preferred Unit or Series I PIK Unit, as the case may be.

(xi) If, after the Series I Original Issue Date, the Partnership (A) makes a distribution on its Common Units in Common Units, (B) subdivides or splits its outstanding Common Units into a greater number of Common Units, (C) combines or reclassifies its Common Units into a smaller number of Common Units or (D) issues by reclassification of its Common Units any Partnership Interests (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the Surviving Business Entity), then the Series I Conversion Ratio in effect at the time of the Series I Distribution Record Date for such distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, split, combination, or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the conversion of the Series I Preferred Units after such time shall entitle the holder to receive the aggregate number of Common Units (or shares of any Partnership Interests into which such shares of Common Units would have been combined, consolidated, merged or reclassified pursuant to clauses (C) and (D) above) that such holder would have been entitled to receive if the Series I Preferred Units had been converted into Common Units immediately prior to such Record Date or effective date, as the case may be, and in the case of a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the Surviving Business Entity, the Partnership shall provide effective provisions to ensure that the provisions in this Section 5.26 relating to the Series I Preferred Units shall not be abridged or amended and that the Series I Preferred Units shall thereafter retain the same powers, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereon, that the Series I Preferred Units had immediately prior to such transaction or event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.26(b)(xi) shall become effective immediately after the Record Date in the case of a distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the Surviving Business Entity) or split. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event described above shall occur.

(i) Beginning with the first Quarter ending after the Series I Original Issue Date, the Series I Holders as of the applicable Record Date (each, a “Series I Distribution Record Date”) shall be entitled to receive distributions in accordance with the following provisions:

(A) The Partnership shall pay a cumulative distribution of $0.2111 per Quarter in respect of each Outstanding Series I Preferred Unit, subject to adjustment in accordance with Sections 5.26(c)(i) and (ii) (the “Series I Preferred Unit Distribution Rate” and such distribution, a “Series I Distribution”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Series I Preferred Unit Distribution Rate for the first Quarter ending after the Series I Original Issue Date shall be calculated for a full Quarter, notwithstanding the fact that the Series I Preferred Units may have been issued after the beginning of such Quarter as a result of the Series I Original Issue Date occurring during such Quarter.

(B) Each Series I Distribution paid for any Quarter shall be paid in cash at the Series I Preferred Unit Distribution Rate unless (x) no distribution is made with respect to such Quarter pursuant to Section 6.3 with respect to the Series I Parity Securities and Series I Junior Securities (including the Common Units, the Class A Units, the Class B Units or the General Partner Interest) and (y) the Partnership’s Available Cash is insufficient to pay the Series I Distribution; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 5.26(c)(i)(B), Available Cash shall not include any deduction to provide funds for distributions under Section 6.3 in respect of any one or more of the next four Quarters. If the Partnership fails to pay in full in cash any distribution (or portion thereof) which any Series I Holder accrues and is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.26(c)(i)(B), then (x) the amount of such accrued and unpaid distributions will accumulate until paid in full in cash and (y) the Partnership shall not be permitted to, and shall not, declare or make (i) any distributions in respect of any Series I Junior Securities and (ii) any distributions in respect of any Series I Parity Securities, unless and until all accrued and unpaid distributions on the Series I Preferred Units have been paid in full in cash.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.26(c) to the contrary, with respect to Series I Preferred Units that are converted into Common Units, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to a Series I Distribution and a Common Unit distribution with respect to the same period, but shall be entitled only to the distribution to be paid based upon the class of Units held as of the close of business on the applicable Record Date, together with all accrued but unpaid distributions on the converted Series I Preferred Units.

(iii) Subject to and without limiting the other provisions of this Section 5.26, each Series I Preferred Unit shall have the right to receive, and will share pro rata with holders of Common Units (as if the Series I Preferred Units had converted into Common Units at the then-applicable Series I Conversion Ratio) in, any portion of any cash distribution made in the normal course pursuant to Section 6.3 (a “Quarterly Distribution”) that is in excess of the Series I Specified Distribution Amount. For purposes of this paragraph, “Series I Specified Distribution Amount” means an amount that is the greater of (A) the amount of the highest previously paid Quarterly Distribution, on a per Common Unit basis, after the date of the Energy Transfer Merger (as adjusted for combinations, splits, subdivision and similar transactions) and (B) the amount equal to 115% of the Quarterly Distribution, on a per Common Unit basis, for the immediately preceding Quarter.

(iv) Subject to and without limiting the other provisions of this Section 5.26, at any time there are accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series I Preferred Units, no special distributions shall be permitted.

(v) All distributions payable on the Series I Preferred Units shall be paid Quarterly, in Arrears, on the earlier of: (A) the date that distributions are made on the Common Units for such Quarter pursuant to Section 6.3(a), and (B) the date that is forty-five (45) days after the end of such Quarter.

(vi) For the avoidance of doubt, any Available Cash that is distributed pursuant to Section 6.3 shall be distributed in accordance with this Section 5.26(c).

(d) Voting Rights.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Series I Preferred Units shall not have any voting rights or rights to consent or approve any action or matter, except as set forth in Section 13.3(c), this Section 5.26(d) or as otherwise required by Delaware law.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Series I Preferred Units, voting as a separate class, the General Partner shall not adopt any amendment to this Agreement that the General Partner determines would have a material adverse effect on the rights, powers, preferences, duties or special rights of the Series I Preferred Units; provided, however, that (i) subject to Section 5.26(d)(iii), the issuance of additional Partnership Interests (and any amendment to this Agreement in connection therewith) shall not be deemed to constitute such a material adverse effect for purposes of this Section 5.26(d)(ii) and (ii) for purposes of this Section 5.26(d)(ii), no amendment of this Agreement in connection with a merger or other transaction in which the Series I Preferred Units remain Outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged in any respect adverse to the Series I Holders (as determined by the General Partner) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the rights, powers, privileges or preferences of the Series I Preferred Units.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Series I Preferred Units, voting as a class, together with the holders of any other Series I Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the Partnership shall not (x) create or issue any Series I Parity Securities (including any additional Series I Preferred Units) if the cumulative distributions payable on Outstanding Series I Preferred Units (or any Series I Parity Securities, if the holders of such Series I Parity Securities vote as a class together with the Series I Holders pursuant to Section 5.26(c)) through the most recent payment date have not been paid on all Outstanding Series I Preferred Units or (y) create or issue any Series I Senior Securities.

(iv) For any matter described in this Section 5.26(d) in which the Series I Holders are entitled to vote as a class (whether separately or together with the holders of any Series I Parity Securities), such Series I Holders shall be entitled to one vote per Series I Preferred Unit. Any Series I Preferred Units held by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or their controlled Affiliates shall not be entitled to vote.

(e) Series I Change of Control.

(i) In the event of a Series I Cash COC Event, the Series I Holders shall convert the Outstanding Series I Preferred Units into Common Units immediately prior to the closing of the Series I Cash COC Event at a conversion ratio equal to the greater of (A) the Series I Conversion Ratio and (B) the quotient of (1) the product of (a) the Series I Preferred Unit Price, multiplied by (b) the Series I Cash COC Conversion Premium, divided by (2) the VWAP Price for the 10 consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the date of closing of the Series I Cash COC Event, subject to a $1.00 per unit floor on Common Units received, subject to payment of any accrued but unpaid distributions to the date of conversion in accordance with Section 5.26(b)(iv);

(ii) If a Series I Change of Control (other than a Series I Cash COC Event) occurs, then each Series I Holder shall, at its sole election:

(A) convert all, but not less than all, Series I Preferred Units held by such Series I Holder into Common Units, at the then-applicable Conversion Rate, subject to payment of any accrued but unpaid distributions to the date of conversion in accordance with Section 5.26(b)(iv);

(B) if (1) either (x) the Partnership is not the Surviving Business Entity or (y) the Partnership is the Surviving Business Entity of a Series I Change of Control but the Common Units are no longer listed or admitted to trading on a National Securities Exchange and (2) the consideration per Common Unit received by the holders of Common Units in such Series I Change of Control exceeds $1.00, then, at the election of

such Series I Holder, the Partnership shall use its best efforts to deliver or to cause to be delivered to the Series I Holders, in exchange for their Series I Preferred Units upon such Series I Change of Control, a security in the Surviving Business Entity that has substantially similar terms, including with respect to economics and structural protections, as the Series I Preferred Units (a “Substantially Equivalent Security”); provided, however, that, if the Partnership is unable to deliver or cause to be delivered a Substantially Equivalent Security to any such electing Series I Holder in connection with such Series I Change of Control, each such Series I Holder shall be entitled to (x) take any action otherwise permitted by clause (A), (C) or (D) of this Section 5.26(e)(ii), or (y) convert the Series I Preferred Units held by such Series I Holder immediately prior to such Series I Change of Control (other than (in the case of clauses (1) and (2) below) any Series I PIK Units, which, solely with respect to a Series I Change of Control contemplated by this Section 5.26(e)(ii)(B), shall be extinguished for no consideration upon the closing of such Series I Change of Control) into a number of Common Units equal to: the quotient of (a) (i) 160% multiplied by the Series I Preferred Unit Price plus (ii) accrued and unpaid distributions as of the effective date of the conversion with respect to the Series I Preferred Units held by such electing Series I Holder (including any distributions paid at the Series I Deficiency Rate), divided by (b) 0.97 multiplied by the VWAP Price for the 10 consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the date of the closing of such Series I Change of Control.

(C) if the Partnership is the Surviving Business Entity of such Series I Change of Control and the consideration per Common Unit received by the holders of Common Units in such Series I Change of Control exceeds $1.00, continue to hold Series I Preferred Units; or

(D) require the Partnership to redeem the Series I Preferred Units held by such Series I Holder at a price per Series I Preferred Unit equal to 101% of the Series I Preferred Unit Price plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of such redemption with respect to each of the Series I Preferred Units held by such electing Series I Holder. Any redemption pursuant to this sub-clause D shall, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be paid in either cash or a number of Common Units equal to quotient of (1) the product of (a) 101% of the Series I Preferred Unit Price, multiplied by (b) the number of Series I Preferred Units owned by such Series I Holder that the Partnership has elected to redeem “in kind,” divided by (2) the greater of (i) $1.00 and (ii) the product of (x) 0.92 multiplied by (y) the VWAP Price for the 10 consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to such redemption date. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Partnership shall have no obligation to redeem any such Series I Preferred Units in cash unless such redemption complies with the restricted payments covenant in the Crestwood Indentures.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.26(e), any Series I Change of Control in which the consideration to be received by the holders of Common Units has a value of less than $1.00 per Common Unit shall require the affirmative vote of the then-applicable Series I Voting Threshold of the Outstanding Series I Preferred Units, voting separately as a class with one vote per Series I Preferred Unit.

All Common Units delivered upon any conversion or redemption of the Series I Preferred Units in accordance with this Section 5.26(e) shall be (1) newly issued and (2) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Limited Partner Interests in the Partnership, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-607 or 17-804 of the Delaware Act, and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien, claim, rights or encumbrances, other than those arising under the Delaware Act or the Agreement.

(f) Certificates.

(i) If requested by a Series I Holder, the Series I Preferred Units shall be evidenced by certificates in such form as the Board of Directors may approve and, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable legal, regulatory and contractual requirements, may be assigned or transferred in a manner identical to the assignment and transfer of other Units; unless and until the Board of Directors determines to assign the responsibility to another Person, the General Partner will act as the Transfer Agent for the Series I Preferred Units. The certificates evidencing Series I Preferred Units shall be separately identified and shall not bear the same CUSIP number as the certificates evidencing Common Units.

(ii) The certificate(s) representing the Series I Preferred Units may be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER AND, IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE ISSUER HAS RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT. THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF THE PARTNERSHIP, AS AMENDED, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE PARTNERSHIP AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES.”

In connection with a sale of Series I Preferred Units pursuant to an effective registration statement or in reliance on Rule 144 of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, upon receipt by the Partnership of such information as the Partnership reasonably deems necessary to determine that the sale of the Series I Preferred Units is made in compliance with Rule 144, the Partnership shall remove or cause to be removed the restrictive legend from the certificate(s) representing such Series I Preferred Units (or the book-entry account maintained by the Transfer Agent), and the Partnership shall bear all costs associated therewith.

(g) Liquidation Rights. In the event of the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership under Section 12.4 or a sale, exchange, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, either voluntary or involuntary, the Record Holders of the Series I Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Partnership available for distribution to the Partners or any Assignees, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Partnership to the Record Holders of any other class or series of Partnership Interests (other than Series I Senior Securities or Series I Parity Securities), the positive value in each such holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series I Preferred Units. If in the year of such dissolution and winding up, or sale, exchange, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, any such Record Holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series I Preferred Units is less than the aggregate Series I Base Liquidation Preference of such Series I Preferred Units, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and prior to any other allocation pursuant to this Agreement for such year and any distribution pursuant to the preceding sentence (other than any allocations or distributions made with respect to any other Series I Parity Securities upon which like allocation and distribution rights have been conferred), items of gross income and gain shall be allocated to all Unitholders then holding Series I Preferred Units, Pro Rata, until the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series I Preferred Unit is equal to the Series I Base Liquidation Preference (and no other allocation pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation); provided, however, that in the event that like allocation rights have been conferred upon other Series I Parity Securities (including pursuant to Sections 5.17(b)(v), 5.18(b)(v), 5.19(b)(v), 5.20(b)(v), 5.21(b)(v), 5.22(b)(v), 5.23(b)(v) and 5.25(b)(v)), then items of gross income and gain shall be allocated to all Unitholders then holding Series I Preferred Units and such Series I Parity Securities, Pro Rata, until the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series I Preferred Unit and such Series I Parity Security is equal to the applicable liquidation preference (and no other allocation pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation). If in the year of such dissolution and winding up any such Record Holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series I Preferred Units is less than the aggregate Series I Base Liquidation Preference of such Series I Preferred Units after the application of the preceding sentence, then to the extent permitted by applicable law, but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, items of gross income and gain for any preceding taxable year(s) with respect to which IRS Form 1065 Schedules K-1 have not been filed by the Partnership shall be reallocated to all Unitholders then holding Series I Preferred Units, Pro Rata, until the Capital Account in respect of each such Outstanding Series I Preferred Unit after making allocations pursuant to this

and the immediately preceding sentence is equal to the Series I Base Liquidation Preference (and no other allocation pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation); provided, however, that in the event like allocation rights have been conferred upon other Series I Parity Securities (including pursuant to Sections 5.17(b)(v), 5.18(b)(v), 5.19(b)(v), 5.20(b)(v), 5.21(b)(v), 5.22(b)(v), 5.23(b)(v) and 5.25(b)(v)), then any such items of gross income and gain shall be reallocated to all Unitholders then holding Series I Preferred Units and such Series I Parity Securities, Pro Rata, until the Capital Account in respect of each Outstanding Series I Preferred Unit and such Series I Parity Security after making allocations pursuant to this and the immediately preceding sentence is equal to the applicable liquidation preference (and no other allocation pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation). After such allocations have been made to the Outstanding Series I Preferred Units and any Series I Parity Securities, as applicable, any remaining Net Termination Gain or Net Termination Loss shall be allocated to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1(c) or Section 6.1(d), as the case may be. At the time of the dissolution of the Partnership, subject to Section 17-804 of the Delaware Act, the Record Holders of the Series I Preferred Units shall become entitled to receive any distributions in respect of the Series I Preferred Units that are accrued and unpaid as of the date of such distribution, and shall have the status of, and shall be entitled to all remedies available to, a creditor of the Partnership, and such entitlement of the Record Holders of the Series I Preferred Units to such accrued and unpaid distributions shall have priority over any entitlement of any other Partners or Assignees (other than holders of any Series I Senior Securities or Series I Parity Securities) with respect to any distributions by the Partnership to such other Partners or Assignees; provided, however, that the General Partner, as such, will have no liability for any obligations with respect to such distributions to any Record Holder(s) of Series I Preferred Units.

(h) Rank. The Series I Preferred Units shall each be deemed to rank as to distributions on such Partnership Securities and distributions upon liquidation of the Partnership:

(i) senior to any Series I Junior Securities;

(ii) on a parity with any Series I Parity Securities;

(iii) junior to any Series I Senior Securities; and

(iv) junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Partnership and other liabilities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against the Partnership.

(i) No Sinking Fund. The Series I Preferred Units shall not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

(j) Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner, the Partnership, the Transfer Agent, and the Paying Agent may deem and treat any Series I Holder as the true, lawful, and absolute owner of the applicable Series I Preferred Units for all purposes, and none of the General Partner, the Partnership, the Transfer Agent or the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary, except as otherwise provided by law or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Series I Preferred Units may be listed or admitted to trading, if any.

(k) Notices. All notices or other communications in respect of Series I Holders shall be sufficiently given (i) if given in writing and either delivered in person or by first class mail, postage prepaid, or (ii) if given in such other manner as may be permitted in this Section 5.26, this Agreement or by applicable law.

(l) Other Rights. The Series I Preferred Units and the Series I Holders shall not have any designations, preferences, rights, powers or duties, other than as set forth in this Agreement or as provided by applicable law.

(m) Right to Acquire Series I Preferred Units.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time not more than 20% of the total Outstanding Series I Preferred Units is held by Persons other than the General Partner and its Affiliates, the General Partner shall then have the right, which right it may assign and transfer in whole or in part to the Partnership or any Affiliate of the General Partner, exercisable in its sole discretion, to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Series I Preferred Units then Outstanding held by Persons other than the General Partner and its Affiliates, at the greater of (x) the Series I Current Market Price as of the date three days prior to the date that the notice described in Section 5.26(m)(ii) is mailed and (y) the highest price paid by a General Partner or any of its Affiliates for any such Limited Partner Interest of such class purchased during the 90-day period preceding the date that the notice described in Section 5.26(m)(ii) is mailed. As used in this Agreement, “Series I Current Market Price” as of any date of the Series I Preferred Units means the average of the daily Closing Price per Series I Preferred Unit for the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to such date.

(ii) If the General Partner, any Affiliate of the General Partner or the Partnership elects to exercise the right to purchase the Series I Preferred Units granted pursuant to Section 5.26(m)(i), the General Partner shall deliver to the Transfer Agent the Notice of Election to Purchase and shall cause the Transfer Agent to mail a copy of such Notice of Election to Purchase to the Record Holders of Series I Preferred Units (as of a Record Date selected by the General Partner) at least 10, but not more than 60, days prior to the Purchase Date. Such Notice of Election to Purchase shall also be published for a period of at least three consecutive days in at least two daily newspapers of general circulation printed in the English language and published in the Borough of Manhattan, New York. The Notice of Election to Purchase shall specify the Purchase Date and the price (determined in accordance with Section 5.26(m)(i)) at which Series I Preferred Units will be purchased and state that the General Partner, its Affiliate or the Partnership, as the case may be, elects to purchase such Series I Preferred Units, upon surrender of Certificates representing such Series I Preferred Units in exchange for payment, at such office or offices of the Transfer Agent as the Transfer Agent may specify, or as may be required by any National Securities Exchange on which such Series I Preferred Units are listed or admitted to trading. Any such Notice of Election to Purchase mailed to a Record Holder of Series I

Preferred Units at his address as reflected in the records of the Transfer Agent shall be conclusively presumed to have been given regardless of whether the owner receives such notice. On or prior to the Purchase Date, the General Partner, its Affiliate or the Partnership, as the case may be, shall deposit with the Transfer Agent cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate purchase price of all of such Series I Preferred Units to be purchased in accordance with this Section 5.26(m). If the Notice of Election to Purchase shall have been duly given as aforesaid at least 10 days prior to the Purchase Date, and if on or prior to the Purchase Date the deposit described in the preceding sentence has been made for the benefit of the holders of Series I Preferred Units subject to purchase as provided herein, then from and after the Purchase Date, notwithstanding that any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for purchase, all rights of the holders of such Series I Preferred Units shall thereupon cease, except the right to receive the purchase price (determined in accordance with Section 5.26(m)(i)) for Series I Preferred Units therefor, without interest, upon surrender to the Transfer Agent of the Certificates representing such Series I Preferred Units, and such Series I Preferred Units shall thereupon be deemed to be transferred to the General Partner, its Affiliate or the Partnership, as the case may be, on the record books of the Transfer Agent and the Partnership, and the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner, or the Partnership, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the owner of all such Series I Preferred Units from and after the Purchase Date and shall have all rights as the owner of such Series I Preferred Units.

(iii) At any time from and after the Purchase Date, a holder of an Outstanding Series I Preferred Unit subject to purchase as provided in this Section 5.26(m) may surrender his Certificate evidencing such Series I Preferred Unit to the Transfer Agent in exchange for payment of the amount described in Section 5.26(m), therefor, without interest thereon.”

(d) Section 6.1(a) of the Partnership Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(a) Net Income.
