Explanation of Responses:
1. This Form 4 is filed jointly by Jack L. Howard and EMH Howard, LLC ("EMH") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a member of a Section 13(d) group that collectively owns more than 10% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Units (the "Common Units"). Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein. Mr. Howard's direct ownership includes Common Units and 6% Series A Preferred Units of the Issuer (the "Series A Preferred") held by an entity that is 100% owned by him.
2. Mr. Howard is a trustee of the Article V Trust. Mr. Howard does not have a pecuniary interest in the securities held by the Article V Trust.
3. Mr. Howard, as the Managing Member of EMH, may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Units and Series A Preferred held by EMH.
4. Mr. Howard is a trustee of the II Trust. Mr. Howard does not have a pecuniary interest in the securities held by the II Trust.
5. Mr. Howard is a trustee of the III Trust. Mr. Howard does not have a pecuniary interest in the securities held by the III Trust.
6. The Issuer declared a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.375 per unit, payable June 15, 2020, to unitholders of record as of June 1, 2020, on its Series A Preferred. Such distributions were made in kind, such that holders of Series A Preferred received additional units equal to the product of units held and the $0.375 per unit quarterly dividend divided by the Series A Preferred liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit. No fraction of a Series A Preferred was issued by virtue of the quarterly dividend, but in lieu thereof each preferred unitholder was paid an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of (i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the $25.00 Series A liquidation preference. The distribution of Series A Preferred to the Reporting Person is exempt from Section 16(a) under Rule 16a-9(a) and exempt from Section 16(b) under Rule 16a-10 and is reported herein on a voluntary basis.
