(1)	The phantom unit is the economic equivalent of 1% of the Company's total outstanding units on January 1, 2009, which was 121,459 units. The phantom unit entitles the reporting person to participate in the appreciation of the price of the Company's common units ("VNR units") to the extent that the December 31, 2009 VNR unit price exceeded 108% of the VNR unit price at January 1, 2009 (which was $5.90). Distributions paid on the VNR units during 2009 are considered in reaching the 108% hurdle rate. The reporting person settled the phantom unit for 19,480 common units and $1,719,661 in cash.
