Explanation of Responses:

1. Pursuant to a previous arrangement, the Reporting Person elected to receive common units in lieu of a cash retainer for service on the Board of Directors of the Partnership's General Partner.

2. Prior to the date of this report, the Reporting Person contributed 701,392 common units representing limited partnership interests to a grantor retained annuity trust ("GRAT"), of which the Reporting Person is the trustee. Because the contribution to the GRAT is not a reportable transaction, the amount of securities beneficially owned with respect to the direct holdings reported by the Reporting Person has been reduced to reflect the contribution to the GRAT, which has been added as a new indirect holding.

3. Prior to the date of this report, 180,775 units previously held by the R D Stuart Jr 1996 Trust were transferred to the Robert D. Stuart Jr. 1996 Marital Trust, of which the Reporting Person serves as a co-trustee, as part of an estate settlement. Because the change in form of ownership of the units was not a reportable transaction, the transferring trust no longer holds any common units and is no longer reflected on the report, and the transferee trust has been added as a new indirect holding.
