&#147;Merger Agreement&#148;). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the &#147;Merger&#148;). The Merger Agreement provides that,
at the effective time of the Merger (the &#147;Effective Time&#148;), each issued and outstanding common unit representing a limited partner interest in the Partnership (each, a &#147;Common Unit&#148;) other than Common Units owned by Parent and
its subsidiaries, including the General Partner (each, a &#147;Public Common Unit&#148;), will be converted into the right to receive $4.02 in cash without any interest (the &#147;Merger Consideration&#148;). The General Partner Interest (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement (as defined below)) of the Partnership and the Common Units held by Parent or its subsidiaries, as applicable, in each case that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be unaffected by
the Merger and will remain issued and outstanding, and no consideration will be delivered in respect thereof. If the Merger is completed, the Common Units will no longer be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select market and the registration of the Common
Units with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;) will be terminated. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The

aggregate of 10,149,785 Common Units, representing approximately 26.0% of the outstanding Common Units. Mr.&nbsp;Martin is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Partner and the President and Chief Executive Officer and a Director of
Parent, and Mr.&nbsp;Bondurant is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the General Partner and a Director of Parent. Each of the other Buyer Filing Parties may be deemed an affiliate of the Partnership as described in the Proxy Statement (as
defined below). Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Partnership entered into Support Agreements with each of (i)&nbsp;Parent, Cross, Resource and Martin Product, (ii)&nbsp;Senterfitt, (iii) Mr.&nbsp;Bondurant and
(iv)&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Martin (collectively, the &#147;Support Parties&#148;), pursuant to which the Support Parties have agreed to vote or cause the 10,149,906 Common Units held by the Support Parties in the aggregate, representing approximately 26.0%
of the total issued and outstanding Common Units as of November&nbsp;21, 2024, to be voted in favor of the Merger and the approval of the Merger Agreement (collectively, the &#147;Support Agreements&#148;). The Support Agreements will not be
