Explanation of Responses:

1. On November 3, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 16, 2023 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, Energy Transfer LP ("Energy Transfer"), Pachyderm Merger Sub LLC, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer ("Merger Sub"), and, solely for the purposes set forth therein, LE GP, LLC, the Issuer merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer (the "Merger").

2. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each outstanding performance unit of the Issuer, which do not constitute derivative securities at the time of grant, granted prior to January 1, 2023, or that was otherwise vested at the Effective Time (each, a "Pre-2023 Issuer Performance Unit") was cancelled in exchange for the payment of (i) the common unit merger consideration (as defined below) with respect to the number of common units of the Issuer (each, an "Issuer common unit") issuable pursuant to such Pre-2023 Issuer Performance Unit based upon a performance multiplier of 100% and (ii) an amount in cash equal to any accrued but unpaid cash distribution equivalents with respect to such Pre-2023 Issuer Performance Unit.

3. (Continued from footnote 2) The average closing price of a common unit representing limited partnership interests in Energy Transfer (each, an "Energy Transfer common unit") for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date was $13.45.

4. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted unit of the Issuer granted prior to January 1, 2023 (each, a "Pre-2023 Issuer Restricted Unit") vested in full and converted into the right to receive the common unit merger consideration. The average closing price of an Energy Transfer common unit for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date was $13.45.

5.

The average closing price of an Energy Transfer common unit for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date was $13.45.
