*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	As of September 27, 2005, Global Petroleum Corp. ("GPC") owns a 98% limited partner interest in Issuer. At the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering of common units ("Common Units") representing limited partner interests (the "Offering"), GPC's 98% limited partner interest will be reduced to 16.9% as a result of the dilutive effect of the Offering. Global GP LLC ("GP LLC") is sole general partner of and holds a 2% general partner interest in the Issuer. As of September 27, 2005, GPC is the sole member of GP LLC. At the closing of the Offering, GPC's 100% membership interest in GP LLC will be reduced to 36%. At the closing of the Offering, GPC will contribute certain assets to the Issuer and in exchange therefor GPC will receive (a) 226,736 Common Units, (b) 1,723,196 subordinated units ("Subordinated Units") representing limited partner interests in the Issuer and (c) a 36% membership interest in GP LLC.
(2)	Each Subordinated Unit will convert into one Common Unit at the end of the subordination period, which will end once the Issuer meets certain financial tests set forth in the agreement of limited partnership of the Issuer, but not before September 30, 2008. These financial tests require the Issuer to have earned and paid the minimum quarterly distributions and arrearages (if any) on all of its outstanding units for any three consecutive four quarter periods.
