Investors are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.

SECTION 1 – SECURITIES AND TRADING MARKETS

ITEM 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On October 30, 2008, the New York Stock Exchange issued a press release announcing that the Partnership’s common units would be suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) effective immediately prior to the market opening on November 6, 2008 because the Partnership has fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard regarding average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of not less than $25 million, which is the minimum threshold for listing. The Partnership is in discussions with market makers to arrange for its units to be tradeable on the OTC bulletin board beginning November 6, 2008. The full text of the NYSE’s press release is set forth in Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
