Explanation of Responses:

1. The reporting person elected to convert 198,459 Waiver Units - Class 2 on August 14, 2012, which comprised all of the Waiver Units of that class owned by the reporting person. The Waiver Units - Class 2 are convertible into Common Units - Class A on a one-for-one basis, resulting in the reporting person's acquisition of a number of Common Units - Class A equal to the number of Waiver Units - Class 2 converted.

2. 1,000 of these Common Units - Class A are held by the reporting person's father. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these units.

3. The Waiver Units, among other rights, preferences and privileges, are entitled to quarterly distributions of $0.001786 per Waiver Unit and are convertible into Common Units - Class A on a one-for-one basis at the option of the holder upon, among other things, payment of a quarterly cash distribution on the Common Units that has a coverage ratio of at least 1.10 and equals or exceeds the applicable distribution level: (i) Class 1 - $0.43 per Common Unit; (ii) Class 2 - $0.46 per Common Unit; (iii) Class 3 - $0.49 per Common Unit; and (iv) Class 4 - $0.52 per Common Unit. The Waiver Units will also automatically convert to Common Units - Class A upon the six-month anniversary of the occurrence of the circumstances that give rise to the right of the holder to convert. The Waiver Units - Class 2 became convertible on August 14, 2012.

4. Waiver Units that have not become convertible by January 1, 2021 shall, as of the close of business on such date, automatically be cancelled.
