Item 3.01.    Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
 
John P. DesBarres, an independent director of the Partnership's general partner's board of directors, passed away on December 29, 2008. Mr. DesBarres also was chairman of the compensation committee and one of three independent directors serving on the audit committee. Section 303A.07(a) of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") corporate governance listing standards requires all publicly-traded companies to have at least three independent directors serving on the audit committee. On December 30, 2008, the NYSE notified the Partnership of its non-compliance with Section 303A.07(a). The Partnership intends to immediately begin a search for a third independent director to serve on its general partner's board and audit committee.
