[1] The aggregate grant date fair value of phantom unit awards issued during 2014 was $117.0 million based on a grant date market price of our common units ranging from $33.04 to $37.59 per unit. An estimated annual forfeiture rate of 3.4% was applied to these awards.
[2] Determined by dividing the aggregate grant date fair value of awards (before an allowance for forfeitures) by the number of awards issued.
