Explanation of Responses:
1. The Filing of this Form 5 shall not be construed as an admission that Swank Capital, L.L.C. ("Swank Capital"), Swank Energy Income Advisors, L.P. ("Income Advisors"), The Cushing Fund, L.P. ("Cushing Fund") or Jerry V. Swank is or was for the purposes of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any of the common units of Rio Vista Energy Partners LP ("Common Units") held by Cushing Fund, or any of the equity based swap agreements held by The Cushing Fund (Offshore) Ltd. ("Cushing Offshore"). Pursuant to Rule 16a-1, Swank Capital, Income Advisors, Cushing Fund and Mr. Swank disclaim such beneficial ownership.
2. The transactions reported on this Form 5 were inadvertently omitted from previous Form 4 filings. Accordingly, each Form 4 on which such transactions should have appeared, and each Form 4 filed thereafter, contained errors.
3. Cushing Offshore is party to a total return equity swap agreement ("Swap") with respect to a basket of equities (the "Basket") which includes the Issuer's Common Units set forth above (the "Shares"). Under the terms of the Swap, Cushing Offshore receives any appreciation in the Shares above the price of the Shares on the date such Shares were added to the swap. Cushing Offshore pays the Swap counterparty any depreciation in the Shares and a monthly LIBOR-based fee. The Swap terminates automatically pursuant to its terms on October 31, 2006. Cushing Offshore may add or remove Shares from the Basket on any business day during the term of the Swap.
4. At the end of the 2005 fiscal year, the number of Common Units held beneficially owned through the Swap equaled 26,659. As of the filing date of this Form 5, the number of Common Units beneficially owned through the Swap equals 49,748.
5. Cushing Offshore is a party to the Swap relating to an aggregate of 49,748 shares of Common Units. Income Advisors is the investment manager of Cushing Offshore and receives an allocation of net profits and an asset based fee from Cushing Offshore. Swank Capital is the general partner of Income Advisors and owns a limited partner interest in Income Advisors. Mr. Swank is the manager of Swank Capital, and, in addition, owns shares of Cushing Offshore.
6. As of the filing date of this Form 5, the number of Common Units, both non-derivative and derivative through the Swap, beneficially owned by the reporting persons is 346,565.
7. As of the filing date of this Form 5, the reporting persons hold an aggregate of 346,565 shares of Common Units, in the form of 266,049 Common Units through the account of Cushing Fund, 49,748 Common Units through Cushing Offshore's Swap, and 30,768 Common Units through Swank MLP Convergence Fund, L.P. ("Covergence Fund"). Income Advisors is the investment manager of Cushing Fund, Cushing Offshore, and Convergence Fund and receives an allocation of net profits and an asset based fee from each account. Swank Capital is the general partner of Income Advisors and owns a limited partner interest in Income Advisors. Mr. Swank as the manager of Swank Capital, controlled the disposition and voting of the Common Units, and, in addition, holds a limited partner interest in Cushing Fund and Convergence Fund, and owns shares of Cushing Offshore.
Remarks:
This Form 5 is being filed on October 12, 2006 to reflect Form 4 transactions that have not been filed up to this date. October 12, 2006 is not the Issuer's fiscal year end. Shares of the issuer held by the reporting persons through swap agreements were inadvertently omitted from the original Form 3 filed on March 1, 2006, and subsequent Form 4 filings. Swap agreements entered into prior to November 11, 2005, the date which required the filing of the original Form 3, have been reported on an amendment to Form 3. Subsequent swap agreements are being reported on this Form 5. All future swap agreements will be reported on a Form 4.
