Schedule of Incentive Distributions Made to Managing Members or General Partners by Distribution [Table Text Block]

The following table illustrates the percentage allocations of available cash from operating surplus between the unitholders and our general partner (as the holder of our incentive distribution rights) based on the specified target distribution levels. The amounts set forth under the column heading "Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions" are the percentage interests of our general partner and the unitholders in any available cash from operating surplus we distribute up to and including the corresponding amount in the column "Total Quarterly Distribution per Unit Target Amount". The percentage interests shown for our unitholders and our general partner for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution. The percentage interests set forth below assume our general partner has not transferred its incentive distribution rights and there are no arrearages on common units.



	Total Quarterly Distribution per Unit Target Amount	Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions
	Total Quarterly Distribution per Unit Target Amount	Unitholders		General Partner
Minimum Quarterly Distribution	$0.2875	100.0	%	—
