Explanation of Responses:
1. This Form 4 is filed jointly by WGL Capital Corp. ("WGL"), Steel Partners, Ltd. ("SPL"), SPH SPV-I LLC ("SPH SPV") and Warren G. Lichtenstein (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). Each of SPL, SPH SPV and Mr. Lichtenstein may be deemed to be 10% owners of the Issuer and WGL is a 10% owner of the Issuer. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Units reported herein, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.
2. Consists of Common Units issued to SPH SPV by the Issuer. Such units were issuable to SPH SPV in the form of Class C Common Units with respect to the Incentive Units received pursuant to that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Management Agreement effective as of May 11, 2012, by and among the Issuer, SPH Group LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and SP General Services LLC. The right to receive Class C Common Units was assigned to SPH SPV by SP General Services LLC, the manager of the Issuer. As a result of the alignment of capital accounts of the Common Units and the Class C Common Units, the Class C Common Units converted to Common Units. Mr. Lichtenstein, as the managing member of SPH SPV has an indirect interest in 1,542,073 Common Units, of which 1,202,182 of such units have been allocated to Mr. Lichtenstein's sub-account within SPH SPV.
3. The Class C Common Units had the same rights as the Common Units, except that net losses were not allocated to a holder of Class C Common Units, liquidating distributions made by the Issuer to such holder could not exceed the amount of its capital account allocable to its Class C Common Units, and they could not be sold in the public market until the capital account allocable to a Class C Common Unit equaled the capital account allocable to a regular Common Unit, upon which the Class C Common Units were converted automatically into regular Common Units.
4. Mr. Lichtenstein, as the Chief Executive Officer and sole director of SPL, may be deemed to beneficially own the units owned directly by SPL.
5. SPL, as the sole shareholder of WGL, and Mr. Lichtenstein, as the Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and sole director of WGL, may be deemed to beneficially own the units owned directly by WGL.
