(1) Includes the impact of waived distributions to the holders of the IDRs with respect to the Second Amendment as described above.

(2) Includes the impact of waived distributions to SPLC with respect to the April 2020 Transaction as described above.

(3) This amount represents the Final IDR Payment (as defined in the Partnership Interests Restructuring Agreement) to which the general partner (or its assignee) was entitled pursuant to the Partnership Interests Restructuring Agreement. Also pursuant to the Partnership Interests Restructuring Agreement, the general partner agreed (on its own behalf and on behalf of its assignees) to waive any distributions that it would otherwise be entitled to receive with respect to the newly-issued 160 million common units that it received in the April 2020 Transaction for the quarter in which it receives the Final IDR Payment. The general partner will not be entitled to any payments with respect to the IDRs going forward, as they have been cancelled as a part of the April 2020 Transaction.

(4) This amount represents the final distribution payment on the 2% economic general partner interest. The general partner will not be entitled to any payments with respect to the economic general partner interest going forward, as it was converted into a non-economic general partner interest as a part of the April 2020 Transaction.
