Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The phantom units were issued to the Reporting Person pursuant to the Issuer's Non-Employee Director Compensation Arrangement and Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan. Under such arrangement, the Reporting Person was eligible to receive cash compensation, equity compensation, and distribution equivalent rights that the Reporting Person deferred. Each phantom unit is the economic equivalent of one common unit. For phantom units credited to the Reporting Person for cash compensation and distribution equivalent rights, the phantom units become payable in cash equal to the fair market value of the phantom units on the Reporting Person's date of termination of service. For phantom units credited to the Reporting Person for equity compensation, the phantom units become payable in common units equal to the number of phantom units. The cash and common units shall be paid to the Reporting Person within 30 days following his termination of service.
(2) The number of phantom units credited to the Reporting Person for cash compensation equals the amount of cash compensation deferred divided by the fair market value of a common unit on the date immediately prior to payment of the cash compensation. The reported phantom units are reported to the nearest whole number for fractional units distributed.
(3) The number of phantom units credited to the Reporting Person for distribution equivalent rights equals the number of whole and fractional common units that could have been purchased with such award at fair market value on the date of distribution. The reported phantom units are reported to the nearest whole number for fractional units distributed.
(4) The total number of phantom units includes the 15,057 phantom units as reported on a Form 5 filed by the Reporting Person on March 6, 2015.
(5) The number of phantom units credited to the Reporting Person for equity compensation equals $75,000 divided by the average of the closing daily sales price of the Issuer's common units for the ten trading days immediately prior to the grant. The reported phantom units are reported to the nearest whole number for fractional units distributed.
