Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	This Form 4 is being filed jointly by Valero Energy Corporation ("Valero"), Valero Terminaling and Distribution Company ("VTDC") and Valero Energy Partners GP LLC (the "General Partner"). The common stock of VTDC is owned by various indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Valero. The General Partner is a wholly owned subsidiary of VTDC. Accordingly, Valero may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own securities of Valero Energy Partners LP (the "Partnership") owned directly by VTDC and the General Partner.
(2)	On September 1, 2016, the Partnership and VTDC entered into a Contribution Agreement, pursuant to which VTDC contributed, and caused the General Partner to contribute, interests in certain subsidiaries of Valero to the Partnership in exchange for a cash distribution of $276,000,000 to VTDC and the issuance of 1,149,905 Common Units to VTDC and 23,467 general partner units to the General Partner.
(3)	In certain circumstances, if the General Partner is removed as the general partner of the Partnership, the General Partner will have the right to convert its general partner interest and its incentive distribution rights into common units as set forth in the Partnership's partnership agreement.
