BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

Section 3.01 Business Opportunities. If a QRC Entity acquires a Business Opportunity, then not later than ninety (90) days after the consummation of the acquisition by such QRC Entity of the Business Opportunity, the QRC Entity shall notify the Partnership in writing of such acquisition and offer the Partnership Group the opportunity to purchase such Business Opportunity for its fair market value in accordance with this Section 3.01 (the “Offer”). The Offer must set forth the QRC Entity’s proposed terms relating to the purchase of the Business Opportunity by the Partnership Group. The QRC Entity will provide all information concerning the business, operations and finances of such Business Opportunity as may be reasonably requested by the Partnership. As soon as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days after receipt of such written notification, the Partnership shall notify the QRC Entity in writing that either (i) the Partnership has elected (with the approval of the Conflicts Committee) not to cause a member of the Partnership Group to purchase the Business Opportunity, in which event the QRC Entity is forever free to continue to own or operate such Business Opportunity; or (ii) the Partnership has elected (with the approval of the Conflicts Committee) to cause a member of the Partnership Group to purchase the Business Opportunity, in which event the following procedures will apply:

(a) After the receipt of such Offer by the Partnership, the QRC Entity and the Partnership shall negotiate in good faith the terms on which the Business Opportunity will be sold to a member of the Partnership Group. If the QRC Entity and the Partnership (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee) are able to agree on the fair market value of the Business Opportunity or the other terms of the Offer within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Partnership of the Offer, a member of the Partnership Group shall purchase the Business Opportunity for the agreed upon fair market value as soon as commercially practicable after such agreement has been reached.

(b) If the QRC Entity and the Partnership (with the approval of the Conflicts Committee) are unable to agree on the fair market value of the Business Opportunity or the other terms of the Offer within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Partnership of the Offer, the QRC Entity and the Partnership will engage a mutually agreed upon, nationally recognized investment banking firm to determine the fair market value of the Business Opportunity. Such investment banking firm will determine the fair market value of the Business Opportunity within thirty (30) days of its engagement and furnish the QRC Entity and the Partnership its determination. The fees and expenses of the investment banking firm will be split equally between the QRC Entity and the Partnership Group. Once the investment banking firm has submitted its determination of the fair market value of the Business Opportunity, the Partnership shall notify the QRC Entity in writing that either (i) the Partnership has elected (with the approval of the Conflicts Committee) not to cause a member of the Partnership Group to purchase the Business Opportunity or (ii) the Partnership has elected (with the approval of the Conflicts Committee) to cause a member of the Partnership Group to purchase the Business Opportunity, pursuant to the Offer as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm. If the Partnership elects to cause a member of

the Partnership Group to purchase the Business Opportunity, then such member of the Partnership Group will purchase the Business Opportunity pursuant to the Offer as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm as soon as commercially practicable after such determination. If the Partnership elects not to cause a member of the Partnership Group to purchase the Business Opportunity, such QRC Entity is forever free to continue to own or operate such Business Opportunity.

Section 3.02 Scope of Prohibition. Except as provided in this Article III and the Partnership Agreement, each QRC Entity is free to engage in any business activity whatsoever, including those that may be in direct competition with any member of the Partnership Group.

Section 3.03 Enforcement.

QRC further agrees and acknowledges that any member of the Partnership Group may, in addition to the other remedies that may be available to the Partnership Group, file a suit in equity to enjoin the QRC Entities from such breach, and consent to the issuance of injunctive relief under this Agreement.

(b) If any court determines that any provision of this Article III is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such provisions shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid provision. If any court construes any provision of this Article III, or any part thereof, to be unreasonable because of the duration of such provision or the geographic scope thereof, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or restrict the geographic scope of such provision and to enforce such provision as so reduced or restricted.

(a) The Indemnified Party agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IV, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not submit claims more frequently than once a calendar quarter (or twice, in the case of the last calendar quarter prior to the expiration of the applicable indemnity coverage under this Agreement).

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article IV, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Indemnified Party unless it includes a full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues, as the case may be, and does not include the admission of fault, culpability or failure to act, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 4.05. In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article IV; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Party reasonably informed as to the status of any such defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense.

(d) In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Party, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such claim and (ii) all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third Persons.

(e) The date on which notification of a claim for indemnification is received by the Indemnifying Party shall determine whether such claim is timely made.

Section 6.03 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties relating to the matters contained herein, superseding all prior contracts or agreements, whether oral or written, relating to the matters contained herein.

Section 6.04 Effect of Waiver or Consent. No waiver or consent, express or implied, by any Party to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by such Person of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such Person of the same or any other obligations of such Person hereunder. Failure on the part of a Party to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its rights hereunder until the applicable statute of limitations period has run.

Section 6.05 Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the General Partner is removed as general partner of the Partnership under circumstances where Cause does not exist and Common Units held by the General Partner and its Affiliates are not voted in favor of such removal or if there is a Change of Control of the Partnership or of the General Partner (excluding any such Change of Control which occurs solely as a result of a Change of Control of QRC), this Agreement, other than the provisions set forth in Article IV hereof (together with any corresponding definition contained in Article I hereof), may immediately thereupon be terminated by QRC or the Partnership.

Section 6.06 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may be amended, restated or modified from time to time only by the written agreement of all the Parties; provided, however, that no member of the Partnership Group may, without the prior approval of the Conflicts Committee, agree to any amendment or modification of this Agreement that will adversely affect the holders of Common Units. Each such instrument shall be reduced to writing and shall be designated on its face an “Amendment,” “Addendum” or a “Restatement” to this Agreement.

Section 6.07 Assignment. Except as provided in section 5.11, no Party shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all of the other Parties. This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and to their respective successors and assigns.

Section 6.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signatory Parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 6.09 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid or unenforceable to any extent by a court or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.

Section 6.10 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Party agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all such transactions.

Section 6.11 Third Party Beneficiaries. Each of the Parties hereto specifically intends that QRC and each member comprising the Partnership Group, as applicable, whether or not a Party to this Agreement, will be entitled to assert rights and remedies hereunder as third party beneficiaries hereto with respect to those provisions of this Agreement affording a right, benefit or privilege to any such entity. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the provisions of this Agreement are enforceable solely by the Parties to it, and no Common Unit holder or its assignee or any other Person will have the right, separate and apart from the Partnership, to

enforce any provision of this Agreement or to compel any Party to this Agreement to comply with its terms.

Section 6.12 Withholding or Granting of Consent. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party may, with respect to any consent or approval that it is entitled to grant pursuant to this Agreement, grant or withhold such consent or approval in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, with or without cause, and subject to such conditions as it shall deem appropriate.

Section 6.13 Laws and Regulations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Party shall be required to take any act, or fail to take any act, under this Agreement if the effect thereof would be to cause such Party to be in violation of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation.

Section 6.14 No Recourse Against Officers or Directors. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Agreement shall not give rise to any right of recourse against any officer or director of any QRC Entity or any of the Partnership Group.
