Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents a fully vested award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") that may be settled only for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. Pursuant to the reporting person's election under the Kinetik Holdings Inc. 2019 Omnibus Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), settlement of such vested RSUs has been deferred until the earliest to occur of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) or the reporting person's termination from service with Kinetik Holdings Inc. (the "Company").

2. While the RSUs remain outstanding, an amount equal to the dividends that would have been paid on the RSUs had they been in the form of common stock will be reinvested into additional RSUs based on the same amount at which dividends are reinvested pursuant to the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan, as amended from time to time (the "DRIP"). The additional RSUs will be immediately vested in full and, pursuant to the reporting person's election under the Plan, will be settled at the same time as the initial RSUs subject to the award, as described in Note 1 above.

3. The reporting person received a grant of deferred stock units ("DSUs") in lieu of director cash compensation. Once vested, each DSU represents a contingent right to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of one share of the Company's Class A common stock. 756 DSUs will vest on October 1, 2022 and 967 DSUs will vest on January 1, 2023, so long as the reporting person continuously provides services to the Company from the date of grant through each vesting date. Pursuant to the reporting person's election under the Plan, settlement of vested DSUs has been deferred until the earliest to occur of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) or the reporting person's termination from service with the Company. While the DSUs remain outstanding, an amount equal to the dividends that would have been paid on the DSUs had they been in the form of common stock will be reinvested into additional DSUs based on the same amount at which dividends are reinvested pursuant to the DRIP.

4. (continued from footnote 3) The additional DSUs will be subject to the same vesting schedule described above for the initial DSUs and, pursuant to the reporting person's election under the Plan, any additional DSUs that become vested will be settled at the same time as the initial DSUs subject to the award.
