Explanation of Responses:

1. The reporting person elected to convert 91,823 Waiver Units - Class 1 on February 27, 2012, which comprised all of the Waiver Units of that class owned by the reporting person. The Waiver Units - Class 1 are convertible into Common Units - Class A on a one-for-one basis, resulting in the reporting person's acquisition of a number of Common Units - Class A equal to the number of Waiver Units - Class 1 converted.

2. These units are beneficially owned by the James Ellis Davison, Jr. Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (the "Trust"). As the beneficiary of the Trust, the reporting person could be deemed to have an indirect pecuniary interest in such units. All units owned by the Trust are reported on this line. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the units except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

3. The Waiver Units, among other rights, preferences and privileges, are entitled to quarterly distributions of $0.001786 per Waiver Unit and are convertible on a one-for-one basis at the option of the holder upon, among other things, payment of a quarterly cash distribution on the Common Units - Class A that has a coverage ratio of at least 1.10 and equals or exceeds the applicable distribution level: (i) Class 1 - $0.43 per Common Unit; (ii) Class 2 - $0.46 per Common Unit; (iii) Class 3 - $0.49 per Common Unit; and (iv) Class 4 - $0.52 per Common Unit. The Waiver Units will also automatically convert to Common Units - Class A upon the six-month anniversary of the occurrence of the circumstances that give rise to the right of the holder to convert. The Waiver Units - Class 1 became convertible on February 16, 2012.

4. Waiver Units that have not become convertible by January 1, 2021 shall, as of the close of business on such date, automatically be cancelled.

Remarks:

The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported on this Form 4 except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these securities in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of these securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
