        <footnote id="F1">Each phantom unit is the economic equivalent of one common unit of the Issuer.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The phantom units shall vest in three equal annual installments, with the first installment vesting on February 15, 2019. The phantom units shall also vest immediately prior to a change in control regarding the Issuer.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">In the event of cessation of the Reporting Person's services for any reason, all phantom units that have not vested prior to or in connection with such cessation of service shall automatically be forfeited.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">The number of phantom units that vest on February 15, 2021 will range between 0% and 200% of the reported number of phantom units generally depending on the Issuer's achievement of certain objective, performance-based criteria during the three years prior to the vesting date. If none or only a portion of phantom units vest as a result of specified performance levels not being met, such number of phantom units that fail to vest will be forfeited. The phantom units shall also vest immediately prior to a change in control regarding the Issuer.</footnote>
