The Series B-2 Preferred Return shall be payable monthly in arrears, on or before the 12th day of each month (or, if not a Business Day, the next succeeding business day, each a “Series B-2 Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date”) for the period ending on such Series B-2 Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date, commencing on February 6, 2025.

(c)
No distributions on the Series B-2 Preferred Units shall be authorized by the General Partner or paid or declared and set apart for payment by the Partnership at such time as the terms and conditions of any agreement of the General Partner or the Partnership, including any agreement relating to the indebtedness of any of
them, prohibits such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof, or a default thereunder, or if such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Series B-2 Preferred Return will accrue whether or not distributions are authorized by the General Partner or declared by the Partnership. No interest or additional distributions shall be payable in respect of any accrued and unpaid Series B-2 Preferred Return.
(e)
Except as provided in Section 5(f) below, no distributions shall be declared and paid or set apart for payment, and no other distribution of cash or other property may be declared and made, directly or indirectly, on or with respect to any Common Units, LTIP Units, Parity Preferred Units or Junior Preferred Units of the Partnership (other than a distribution paid in units of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase units of, Common Units or Junior Preferred Units) for any period, nor shall units of any class or series of Common Units, LTIP Units, Parity Preferred Units or Junior Preferred Units be redeemed (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such units of the Partnership), purchased or otherwise acquired (except (i) by conversion into or exchange for Common Units or Junior Preferred Units, (ii) for the acquisition of units corresponding with the acquisition of shares pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.05(b)(ii) and Section 4.05(c)(v) of Article IV of the Articles, and (iii) for purchases or acquisitions pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of Series B-2 Preferred Units and all holders of Parity Preferred Units), unless full cumulative distributions on the Series B-2 Preferred Units for all past distribution periods shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for such payment.
(f)
When cumulative distributions are not paid in full (or declared and a sum sufficient for such full payment is not set apart) on the Series B-2 Preferred Units and any Parity Preferred Units, all distributions (other than (i) any acquisition of units corresponding with the acquisition of shares pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.05(b)(ii) and Section 4.05(c)(v) of Article IV of the Articles or (ii) a purchase or exchange pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of Series B-2 Preferred Units and all holders of Parity Preferred Units) declared on the Series B-2 Preferred Units and any Parity Preferred Units shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of distributions declared per Series B-2 Preferred Unit and such Parity Preferred Units shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued distributions per Series B-2 Preferred Unit and such Parity Preferred Units (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid distributions on any Parity Preferred Units for prior distribution periods if such Parity Preferred Units do not have a cumulative distribution) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment or payments on Series B-2 Preferred Units which may be in arrears.
(g)
Holders of Series B-2 Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any distribution, whether payable in cash, property or units of the Partnership, in excess of the Series B-2 Preferred Return on the Series B-2 Preferred Units as provided above. Any distribution made on the Series B-2 Preferred Units shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid Series B-2 Preferred Return which remains payable.
