        <footnote id="F1">This amendment on Form 4/A is being filed to clarify which phantom units the reporting person has elected to defer upon vesting and to correct the number of derivative securities acquired and beneficially owned by the reporting person as of May 27, 2010.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The phantom units represent cash distribution equivalents pursuant to the compensation plan for outside directors. These phantom units vest and are settled in cash on January 15th of each year, unless deferred at the reporting person's option and subject to the reporting person's continued service as a director at the time of vesting. Vested deferred phantom units are settled in cash after the reporting person ceases to be a director of the issuer. The reporting person has elected to defer 100% of these phantom units upon vesting.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The phantom units represent cash distribution equivalents pursuant to the compensation plan for outside directors.  These phantom units vest immediately and are settled in cash after the reporting person ceases to be a director of the issuer.</footnote>
