Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, the General Partner paid Mr. Campbell $628,750, accelerated the vesting of certain of Mr. Campbell’s unvested phantom units granted to him under the General Partner’s long-term incentive plan and paid Mr. Campbell an additional $28,701 in relation to the cessation of the availability of the General Partner’s benefit welfare plans. Under the Severance Agreement, Mr. Campbell has agreed to make himself available for further assistance for a period of 6 months from the Termination Date at a rate of $300 per hour for each hour in excess of four hours per week.
