Explanation of Responses:
(1) Each Series A Preferred Unit ("Preferred Unit") is convertible into one common unit representing a limited partnership unit of the Issuer ("Common Unit") (i) at the option of the holder thereof beginning on the 10th day following the completion of the Rights Offering (as defined in the Issuer's Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of June 27, 2019 (the "LPA")) and (ii) automatically upon the consummation of the merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined in footnote 2 herein). The Preferred Units do not have an expiration date.
(2) Pursuant to the Merger and Reorganization Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 27, 2018 (as amended to date, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, StoneMor GP LLC (now StoneMor Inc. ("StoneMor Inc.")) and certain of their affiliates, at the effective time of the merger on December 31, 2019 (the "Effective Time"), each Preferred Unit held by the Reporting Persons and each Common Unit underlying swaps held by Master Fund converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of StoneMor Inc. ("Common Stock"). At the Effective Time, the shares of Common Stock received in exchange for the Preferred Units are held directly by Master Fund.

(5) The swaps provide Master Fund with economic exposure to the Common Units referenced in the swap (the "Subject Securities"), benefiting Master Fund if the price of the Common Units increases, and benefitting counterparty if the price of the Common Units decreases. The swap does not provide Master Fund with the power to vote or direct the voting or dispose of, or to dispose or direct the disposition of, the Subject Securities, nor the right to acquire such power over the Subject Securities. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the Subject Securities.
