        <footnote id="F1">This form is jointly filed by Wexford Capital LP (&quot;Wexford Capital&quot;), Charles E. Davidson, Joseph M. Jacobs and Wexford GP LLC (&quot;Wexford GP&quot;).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Common units and subordinated units shown as beneficially owned by Charles E. Davidson, Joseph M. Jacobs, Wexford GP and Wexford Capital, reflect common units and subordinated units owned of record by Rhino Energy Holdings LLC (&quot;Rhino Holdings&quot;). Wexford Capital serves as manager for Rhino Holdings and as such may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the units beneficially owned by Rhino Holdings, but disclaims such beneficial ownership. Wexford GP, as the general partner of Wexford Capital, may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the units beneficially owned by Rhino Holdings. Messrs. Davidson and Jacobs, as the controlling persons of Wexford GP, may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of any units beneficially owned by Rhino Holdings for which Wexford Capital serves as manager, but disclaim such beneficial ownership.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Pursuant to the Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement with the Rhino Resource Partners LP (the &quot;Partnership&quot;), Rhino Holdings will own 8,647,000 common units and 12,397,000 subordinated units, upon the closing of the Partnership's initial public offering. If the Partnership increases or decreases the number of common units to be sold to the public through the underwriters, the Partnership will correspondingly decrease or increase the number of common units to be issued to Rhino Holdings, respectively.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">In connection with the offering, the Partnership has granted the underwriters a 30 day over allotment option. In the event that some or all of the option is not exercised, the Partnership shall issue common units to Rhino Holdings in an amount equal to the portion of the option not exercised by the underwriters.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">The subordinated units will convert into common units on a one-for-one basis at the end of the subordination period described in the Partnership's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (333-166550).</footnote>
