CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation*		Amount of Filing Fee
$35,616,800		$3,885.79

*

Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee. The transaction valuation upon which the filing fee was based was calculated as follows: the product of $445.21, average of the bid and asked price of the Partnership’s 9.50% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units, (the “Series A Preferred Units”) as of March 4, 2021, and 80,000, the maximum amount of issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Units offered to be exchanged. The amount of the filing fee assumes that 80,000 of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units will be exchanged and is calculated pursuant to Rule 0-11(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The registration fee was paid on March 8, 2021 in connection with the filing by the Partnership of the original Schedule TO-I.
