Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons, including the Company, any Affiliate, any Participant, and any beneficiary of any Award.  Subject to the Plan and any applicable law, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may delegate any or all of its powers and duties under the Plan, subject to such limitations on such delegated powers and duties as the Committee may impose.  Members of the Board and the Committee and any Employee acting at the direction or on behalf of the Board or the Committee shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the Company with respect to any such action or determination.

Section 4:  Eligibility

Any Employee or Director shall be eligible to be designated a Participant and receive an Award under the Plan.  Awards may be given in accordance with the provisions of this Plan (a) as supplemental compensation to acknowledge a promotion and/or extraordinary performance by an Employee, and (b) as part of the compensation package for a new hire.

Section 5:  Awards

(a)   Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together .    Except as provided below, Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate.  Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

(b)   Limits on Transfer of Awards .

(i)  Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, each Award shall be payable only to the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime.

(ii)  Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, no Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate.

(iii)  To the extent specifically provided or approved by the Committee with respect to an Award, an Award may be transferred by a Participant without consideration to immediate

3

family members or related family trusts, limited partnerships or similar entities on such terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish.

(c)   Term of Awards .    The period from the date of grant until payment applicable to each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee, but shall not exceed 10 years.

(d)   Consideration for Grants .    Awards may be granted for such consideration, including services, as the Committee determines.

(e)   Change of Control, Similar Events .    In the event of a Change of Control, all Awards then outstanding shall vest in full and shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable on or following the Change of Control, but not later than 2½ months following the Change of Control. In the event the Company or Global GP LLC shall become a party to any corporate or partnership merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, reorganization, or liquidation that does not constitute a Change of Control (a “Similar Event”), the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the complete or partial acceleration of any time periods relating to the vesting of any outstanding Award so that such Award may be paid in full on or before the date such Award would otherwise have been payable. In addition, in the event of a Similar Event the Committee may, without the approval of any Person, including any Participant, in its sole discretion cause any Award then outstanding to be assumed by the surviving entity in such transaction.  Any such determinations by the Committee may be made generally with respect to all Participants, or may be made on a case-by-case basis with respect to particular Participant(s). However, no action shall be taken by the Committee that would cause an Award to be subject to the additional 20% income tax provided by Section 409A.

Section 6:  Amendment and Termination

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law:

(a)     Amendments to the Plan.     Subject to Board approval, the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, in any manner, without the consent of any member, Participant, holder or beneficiary of an Award, or other Person.

(b)     Amendments to Awards.     The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided no change, other than as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, as being necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, in any Award shall materially reduce the benefit of a Participant without the consent of such Participant.

Section 7:  General Provisions

(a)     No Rights to Award.     No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

(b)     Tax Withholding.     The Company or any Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount of any applicable taxes payable in respect of an Award, and to take such other

4

action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes.

(c)     No Right to Employment or Services.     The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate or to remain on the Board, as applicable. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or terminate a consulting relationship for any or no reason, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement.

(d)     Governing Law.     The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

(e)     Severability.     If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(f)     No Trust or Fund Created.     Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any participating Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any participating Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Company or any participating Affiliate.

(g)     Headings.     Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

(h)     Facility Payment.     Any amounts payable hereunder to any person under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the Committee, is unable to properly manage his financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such person, or may be applied for the benefit of such person in any manner which the Committee may select, and the Company shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts.

(i)     Gender and Number.     Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

Section 8:  Effective Date of the Plan

The Plan shall become effective on October 8, 2018 and shall continue until the date terminated by the Board or the Committee. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award, shall extend beyond such termination date.

Upon any attempt by you to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of such rights contrary to the provisions in this Agreement or the Plan, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon such rights, such rights shall immediately become null and void.

6.                                       Taxes and Withholding .  The Company or any Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or from any compensation or other amount owing to you the amount of any applicable taxes payable in respect of an Award, and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes.

9.                                       Modifications .  Except as provided below, any modification of this Agreement shall be effective only if it is in writing and signed by both you and an authorized officer of GPLLC.

10.                                Conflicts and Governing Law .  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan, unless the context requires otherwise. This grant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.
