In addition to the Bosland Disposition and the Pertin Disposition (described in Item 5(c) below), the Reporting Persons may make additional dispositions of Common Units in the ordinary course of business.
Notwithstanding the items described in the prior paragraph, depending on various factors including, without limitation, the price levels of the Common Units and other securities of the Issuer, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons and their affiliates may in the future take such actions with respect to the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional Common Units of the Issuer or other securities of the Issuer, transferring, selling or otherwise disposing some or all of their Common Units, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Common Units or other securities of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with management, the board of directors of the Issuer, other unitholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties, or changing their intention partially or entirely with respect to any or all of the matters described in this Item 4 including taking all or some of the actions specified in the previous paragraph .

(e) Not applicable
(1) | RRJ Master is the sole shareholder of Novolink and RRJ Capital is the general partner of RRJ Master.

Therefore each of RRJ Capital, RRJ Master and Novolink are deemed to have shared voting or dispositive power |
8 of 11
over the 9,638,554 Common Units directly held by Novolink. In addition, as Mr. Ong is the sole shareholder of RRJ Capital and one of 6 directors of RRJ Capital, Mr. Ong may also be deemed to have shared voting or dispositive power over the 9,638,554 Common Units directly held by Novolink. Mr. Ong specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Units directly held by Novolink, because the board of directors of RRJ Capital which exercises investment discretion for RRJ Master (and indirectly for Novolink), consists of Mr. Ongs brother and 4 additional directors, as set forth on Schedule A. |
(2) | As discussed in Item (1), Mr. Ong may be deemed to have shared voting or dispositive power with respect to the 9,638,554 Common Units directly held by Novolink. Mr. Ong specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of all such Common Units. Currently Mr. Ong shares voting and dispositive power over 9,638,554 Common Units, 16.9% of the Common Units. |
Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Act, the Reporting Persons expressly declare that the filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement held by any other person.
