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

WHEREAS, acting pursuant to the power and authority granted to it under Section 13.1(d)(i) of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner has determined that this Amendment does not adversely affect the Limited Partners (including any particular class of Partnership Interests as compared to other classes of Partnership Interests) in any material respect other than the Series A Preferred Unitholders and the Record Holders of the Series A Required Voting Percentage have consented in writing to the adoption of this Amendment in accordance with Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B) of the Partnership Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the General Partner hereby amends the Partnership Agreement as follows:
