Explanation of Responses:
1. The 3,750,000 Class B Units (the "Class B Units") converted into common units representing limited partner interests in Hi-Crush Partners LP (the "Partnership") on a one-for-one basis on August 15, 2014, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, dated January 31, 2013, and then were immediately sold as described in note (3) below. The Class B Units had no expiration date.

ACP II, ACP Off II-A and ACP Off II own 58% of the membership interests of Proppants through HIP Splitter and HIP Splitter Off. Each of ACP II, ACP Off II-A and ACP Off II is controlled by ACP II GP, its general partner.
