Explanation of Responses:

1. Each Convertible Phantom Unit ("CPU") is a phantom equity award which includes a performance distribution right ("PDR") that entitles the holder to distributions at the same rate payable to common unitholders based upon the number of CPUs.

2. Represents additional CPUs received by the Reporting Person pursuant to the terms of previously granted PDRs. Each PDR entitles the Reporting Person to additional CPUs with a value equal to the amount of distributions paid on each common unit. On October 16, 2015, BBEP paid a cash distribution to holders of its common units in an amount equal to 4.166 cents per common unit. Pursuant to the terms of the PDRs, the Reporting Person received a number of additional CPUs in respect of each PDR with a value (based on the closing price of BBEP's common units on the distribution date ($2.50)) equal to the per unit amount of the distribution.

3. Common Units representing limited partner interests ("common units").
