        <footnote id="F1">The reporting person elected to convert 7,652 Waiver Units  Class 3 on May 23, 2013, which comprised all of the Waiver Units of that class owned by the reporting person.  The Waiver Units  Class 3 are convertible into Common Units  Class A on a one-for-one basis, resulting in the reporting person's acquisition of a number of Common Units  Class A equal to the number of Waiver Units  Class 3 converted.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The Waiver Units, among other rights, preferences and privileges, are entitled to quarterly distributions of $0.001786 per Waiver Unit and are convertible on a one-for-one basis at the option of the holder upon, among other things, payment of a quarterly cash distribution on the Common Units  Class A that has a coverage ratio of at least 1.10 and equals or exceeds the applicable distribution level: (i) Class 1 - $0.43 per Common Unit; (ii) Class 2 - $0.46 per Common Unit; (iii) Class 3 - $0.49 per Common Unit; and (iv) Class 4 - $0.52 per Common Unit. The Waiver Units will also automatically convert to Common Units - Class A upon the six-month anniversary of the occurrence of the circumstances that give rise to the right of the holder to convert.  The Waiver Units  Class 1 and Waiver Units  Class 2 have previously converted to Common Units  Class A. The Waiver Units  Class 3 became convertible on May 15, 2013.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Waiver Units that have not become convertible by January 1, 2021 shall, as of the close of business on such date, automatically be cancelled.</footnote>
