Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Representing common limited partnership Units withheld pursuant to mandatory tax withholding obligation.
( 2)  6,676,912 common units and 1,060,339 of the subordinated units shown as beneficially owned by William Tuorto reflect common units and subordinated units owned of record by Royal Energy Resource, Inc. ("Royal"). Mr. Tuorto serves as a director of Royal and as such may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the units beneficially owned by Royal, but disclaims such beneficial ownership to the extent such beneficial ownership exceeds its pecuniary interests. The subordinated units will convert into common units on a one-for-one basis at the times set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the issuer's Partnership Agreement.
