The filing of this Schedule 13G shall not be

is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act

13G. In addition, the filing of this
Schedule 13G shall not be construed as an admission that the reporting person

*****
Ownership is
calculated on the basis of the currently exercisable portion of a warrant
issued by the Issuer to TCW Energy Funds X Holdings, L.P. (Holdings), a
member company of the TCW Business Unit.
The warrant provides that Holdings may, until a demand loan (Demand
Loan) advanced by a member company of the TCW Business Unit is repaid in
full, purchase Common Units in the Issuer in an amount determined by dividing
the outstanding principal amount then owed on the Demand Loan by an exercise
price equal to the lower of: (A) $13.33
per Common Unit and (B) 90% multiplied by the average of the closing prices
for a Common Unit for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of
Holdings election to exercise. In
addition, Holdings has the right (commencing November 19, 2008) to convert debt
owed by the Issuer under a senior credit facility (Credit Facility), net of
the Demand Loan, but including accrued interest and expenses on the remaining
principal amount, into additional Common Units of the Issuer at a price equal
to 90% of the 20-day average trading price of such units preceding the
election to convert. As at November
30, 2008, Holdings had the right to convert $2.25 million under the terms of
the Demand Loan and $23.52 million under the terms of the Credit
Facility. Holdings has not elected to
convert any portion of either the Demand Loan or the Credit Facility as of
the date of this filing. Assuming that Holdings had made an election to convert
all of the outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility and the Demand Note,
as at the end of December, 2008, it would have been entitled to receive
17,854,851 Common Units or 86.60% of the total, as calculated in accordance
with the rules under Section 13(d).

This Schedule 13G is being filed by the TCW
Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (TCW), on behalf of itself and its direct
and indirect subsidiaries, which collectively constitute The TCW Group, Inc.
business unit (the TCW Business Unit or the Reporting Person). The TCW Business Unit is primarily engaged in
the provision of investment management services. As of July 6, 2001, the ultimate parent
company of TCW is Société Générale, S.A., a corporation formed under the laws
of France (SG). The principal business
of SG is acting as a holding company for a global financial services group,
which includes certain distinct specialized business units that are
independently operated, including the TCW Business Unit.
SG, for purpose of the federal securities
laws, may be deemed ultimately to control TCW and the TCW Business Unit. SG, its executive officers and directors, and
its direct and indirect subsidiaries (including all business units except the
TCW Business Unit), may beneficially own shares of the securities of the issuer
to which this schedule relates (the Common Units) and such Common Units are
not reported in this statement. In
accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Release No. 34-39538
(January 12, 1998), and due to the separate management and independent
operation of its business units, SG disclaims beneficial ownership of Common
Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Person. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial
ownership of Common Units beneficially owned by SG and any of SGs other
business units.
