As a result, Mr. Taylor will no longer serve on the Board. Mr. Taylor’s replacement on the Board was not the result of any disagreement with the Board, the General Partner or the Partnership.

Mr. Heim is not expected to serve on any committees of the Board. Additionally, Mr. Heim has waived his right to receive any compensation in connection with his service on the Board, other than reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Heim and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed as a director and no family relationship among any of the General Partner’s directors or executive officers and Mr. Heim.
