2 James M. Jampel disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities.
3 The number of common units reported herein does not include additional common units in an aggregate amount of at least 210,621 that HITE believes the Reporting Persons are entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of August 3, 2015.  The Reporting Persons are in discussions with the Issuer about their entitlement to these common units.
4 In addition to the common units reported herein, two other funds for which HITE serves as investment adviser have economic exposure to 169,000 common units through cash-settled equity swaps (the “Equity Swaps”) under which its profit will be based upon any increase in value in the common units and its loss will be based upon any decrease in the value of the common units over the term of the transactions.  At the end of each calendar month, each such fund is obligated to pay to the dealer any net decrease in the market price of a portfolio of securities (which includes the notional Common Units noted above), and (ii) the dealer will be obligated to pay to each such fund any net increase in the market price of such portfolio of securities.  In addition, each fund will pay to the dealer certain agreed upon periodic financing charges.  The dealer will pay to each fund the equivalent of any dividends paid to the beneficial owners of the referenced securities during the term of the swap agreements.  The Equity Swaps may be settled only in cash and do not give the Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any Common Units, and do not require the counterparty thereto to acquire, hold, vote or dispose of any securities of the Issuer.  Accordingly, the Reporting Persons disclaim any beneficial ownership of any Common Units that may be referenced in the Equity Swaps or other securities or financial instruments that may be held from time to time by any counterparty to the Equity Swaps.
