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. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.
2. Represents sale of Common Units effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan adopted by Mr. Howard.
3. Consists of Class C Common Units ("Class C Units") allocated by SPH SPV-I LLC to Mr. Howard's sub-account within SPH SPV-I LLC. The Class C Units have the same rights as the Common Units, except that a Class C Unit will not be saleable in the public market until the capital account allocable to such Class C Unit is equal to the capital account allocable to a Common Unit ("Capital Account Alignment"), determined as if a Class C Unit and a Common Unit were separate partnership interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. At such time that Capital Account Alignment is achieved, a Class C Unit will convert automatically into a Common Unit. Class C Units (including Class C Units received in respect of a year) will be allocated their share of taxable income based on their percentage interests, except as otherwise determined by the Issuer.
4. Mr. Howard, as the trustee of The II Trust, may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Units held by The II Trust.
5. Mr. Howard, as the trustee of The III Trust, may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Units held by The III Trust.
6. Mr. Howard, as the Managing Member of EMH, may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Units and 6% Series A Preferred Units held by EMH.
