Schedule A
The components outlined in the schedule below represent the total award.
The Service Tranche will vest and become payable on the Vesting Date. The Service Tranche Payout Value at the Vesting Date will be equal to the Cash Award of the Service Tranche.
The Performance Tranche will vest and become payable on the Vesting Date. The Performance Tranche Payout Value on Vesting Date will be calculated according to the following formula: Performance Tranche Payout Value = Performance Tranche x Weighted Achievement x Unit Appreciation Multiplier (UAM).

Achievements between 50% and 100% and between 100% and 200% shall be linearly interpolated. 2 Available Cash per Unit shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis by counting all outstanding convertible preferred units as if converted. 3 Leverage shall be calculated as presented in the partnerships quarterly earnings release. 4 Safety is Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR). 5 AGR equals the percentage determined by dividing (i) the difference between the Fair Market Value on Vesting Date and the Fair Market Value on Grant Date by (ii) the Fair Market Value on Grant Date. Fair Market Value on Grant Date is $19.8515. 6 The UAM shall be linearly interpolated for AGR percentages between those shown above.
