Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Closing"), each issued and outstanding common unit of the Partnership (the "Common Units"), other than those held by SCW and its permitted transferees (the "Parent Units"), will be converted into the right to receive $25.00 per Common Unit in cash without any interest thereon (the "Merger Consideration"). Each issued and outstanding Parent Unit, each issued and outstanding Incentive Distribution Right (as defined in the (as defined in the Partnership's First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of September 18, 2013 (as amended, the "Partnership Agreement") in the Partnership, and the Partnership GP's general partner interest in the Partnership will be unaffected by the Merger and will remain outstanding.

The Conflicts Committee (the "Conflicts Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Partnership GP has (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are in the best interests of the Partnership and the Partnership's subsidiaries (including its unaffiliated unitholders), (ii) approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, such approval constituting the "Special Approval" as defined in the Partnership Agreement, and (iii) recommended that the Board of Directors of the Partnership GP approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from the parties and each party thereto has agreed to customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to the conduct of the business by the Partnership and the Partnership GP during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Closing. The Partnership GP has also agreed to declare, and to cause the Partnership to pay, regular quarterly cash distributions to the Partnership's unitholders during the pendency of the Merger in the amount of available cash for each quarterly period, and to cause such available cash amount to be sufficient to distribute to unitholders an amount equal to or greater than $0.50 per Common Unit (subject to proration for any shorter period in which the closing occurs).

The obligation of the Partnership Parties, on the one hand, and the Parent Parties, on the other hand, to consummate the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others: (1) there being no law, injunction, judgment or ruling prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement or making the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby illegal; (2) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of certain representations and warranties of the other parties set forth in the Merger Agreement as of the date of execution of the Merger Agreement and as of the closing date; (3) compliance by the other parties in all material respects with their covenants and obligations under the Merger Agreement; and (4) the Partnership's information statement having been cleared by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and at least 20 days having elapsed from the date the Partnership's information statement was mailed to the Partnership's limited partners.
