Partnership to the Purchaser of 12,000,000 SeriesA Preferred
Units (the Preferred Units)
representing limited partner interests in the Partnership at a
price per Preferred Unit of $25.00 (the
Offering). The distribution rate for
the Preferred Units will be 10.00%, per annum, of the $25.00

warranties and agreements of the Partnership and the Purchaser,
as well as indemnification obligations of each of the Partnership

Preferred Units have no stated maturity and are not subject to
mandatory redemption or any sinking fund and will remain
outstanding indefinitely unless repurchased or redeemed by the

and thereafter to a floating rate of 8.00% plus three-month LIBOR
of the Liquidation Preference. Holders of the Preferred Units
will generally have no voting rights except in certain limited
circumstances or as required by law. Distributions on Preferred
Units will be cumulative from March30, 2017, and payable
quarterly, in arrears, within sixty (60)days after the end of
each quarter, commencing with the quarter ending June30, 2017.

The Preferred Units are redeemable at any time, and from time to
time, in whole or in part, at the Partnerships option at a price
per Preferred Unit equal to the Liquidation Preference plus all
accrued and unpaid distributions; provided that, if the
Partnership redeems the Preferred Units prior to March30, 2022,
then the Partnership will redeem the Preferred Units at 101% of
the Liquidation Preference, plus all accrued and unpaid
distributions. The Preferred Units are not entitled to any
redemption rights or conversion rights.

Holders of Preferred Units will generally have no voting rights
except in certain limited circumstances or as required by law.
The terms of the Preferred Units are more fully set forth in the
Partnership Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is filed hereto
as Exhibit3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
