In connection with a distribution of Common Units by an independent partnership, of whom Mr. Duncan was a limited partner, on a pro rata basis to its partners, Mr. Duncan received 206 Common Units as a result of such pro rata distribution.  Other than the redemption of his partnership interest, no cash consideration was paid by Mr. Duncan in connection with the receipt of such Common Units.”
