F1 Each phantom unit is the economic equivalent of one common unit.
F2 One-third of the phantom units (rounded down to the nearest whole number of units, except in the case of the final vesting date) shall vest on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the January 18, 2024 Reference Date, subject to continued employment and accelerated vesting as provided in the applicable award agreement. The Reporting Person will receive distribution equivalent rights ("DERs") for each phantom unit, providing for payment on the vesting date of a lump sum of cash equal to the accrued distributions from and after the grant date of the phantom units.

F4 The phantom units shall vest if and to the extent that the phantom units are earned during the performance period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026, which will depend on whether the performance criteria are achieved as determined by the committee as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than Friday, March 6, 2027. The vesting of the phantom units is subject to continued employment and accelerated vesting as provided in the applicable award agreement. The Reporting Person will receive DERs for each phantom unit, providing for payment on the vesting date of a lump sum of cash equal to the accrued distributions from and after the grant date of the phantom units.
