Explanation of Responses:
( 1)	Converted into common units of American Midstream Partners, LP ("AMID") in connection with the merger of the issuer into a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMID effective on March 8, 2017 (the "Merger"). On March 7, 2017, the last trading day of the issuer's common units, the closing price of issuer common units was $9.44 per unit and the closing price of AMID's common units was $16.45 per unit. Each issuer common unit outstanding held by the reporting person was converted into 0.5775 AMID common units at the effective time of the Merger.
( 2)	Each phantom unit is the economic equivalent of one common unit and is accompanied by a distribution equivalent right, entitling the holder to an amount equal to any cash distributions paid on each of the issuer's common units payable in cash. The phantom units and associated dividend equivalent held by the reporting person were converted into the right to receive 0.5775 AMID phantom units and cash, respectively at the effective time of the Merger and are subject to the same terms and conditions as the issuer phantom units.
( 3)	The phantom units will vest in three equal annual installments commencing on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date.
( 4)	Each subordinated unit is the economic equivalent of one common unit. Each subordinated unit outstanding held by the reporting person was converted into the right to receive 0.5775 AMID common units at the effective time of the Merger.

Remarks: The Reporting Person was Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and director of JP Energy GP II LLC, the former general partner of the issuer (the "Former General Partner"). The Issuer was managed by the directors and executive officers of the Former General Partner until effectiveness of the Merger.
