[3] Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect, if any, to priority income allocations in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions fully allocated to the general partner and any special allocations. The adjustment reflects the special allocation to common units held by TLGP for the interest incurred in connection with borrowings on the Dropdown Credit Facility in lieu of using all cash on hand to fund the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets acquisition.
[4] istributions of earnings for limited partners’ common units is net of a $12.5 million waiver from Andeavor in connection with the WNRL Merger for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
[5] IDRs entitled the general partner to receive increasing percentages, up to 50%, of quarterly distributions in excess of $0.3881 per unit per quarter. The amount above reflects earnings distributed to our general partner net of $38 million of IDRs waived by TLGP for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. See Note 11 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and Note 1 for further discussion related to IDRs.
