| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. Common units were issued upon conversion of phantom units previously awarded under the issuer's long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") as further described in notes (2), (3) and (4) below. |
| 2. Phantom units representing the right to receive common units on a one-for-one basis, together with tandem distribution equivalent rights, were awarded in February 2021 under the issuer's LTIP. One-third of the phantom units vested on the third anniversary of the grant date and converted into common units on the reporting date. Accrued quarterly distributions made during the vesting period were paid in cash to the reporting person on the reporting date. |
| 3. Phantom units representing the right to receive common units on a one-for-one basis, together with tandem distribution equivalent rights, were awarded in February 2022 under the issuer's LTIP. One-third of the phantom units vested on the second anniversary of the grant date and converted into common units on the reporting date. Accrued quarterly distributions made during the vesting period were paid in cash to the reporting person on the reporting date. The remaining phantom units under the 2022 award will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. |
| 4. Phantom units representing the right to receive common units on a one-for-one basis, together with tandem distribution equivalent rights, were awarded in February 2023 under the issuer's LTIP.
