Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The information set forth, or incorporated by reference, in Item 3 of this statement is hereby incorporated by reference.

The transfer of the 1,500,000 Common Units to KCM was registered by the Issuer under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Issuer with the Commission on August 22, 2012 (the “Registration Statement”). On October 2, 2012, the Issuer also filed with the Commission a prospectus supplement, which is a part of the Registration Statement, relating to such transfer.

The foregoing acquisition of Common Units was made for investment purposes in connection with the Settlement Agreement. KCM and MRMC have entered into a Lock-Up Agreement dated October 2, 2012 (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) whereby (i) until April 2, 2013, KCM agreed not to offer or sell any of the Common Units without MRMC’s prior written consent, and (ii) for a period commencing on April 3, 2013 and ending on October 2, 2013, KCM has agreed not to sell more than 50,000 Common Units per week except for block trades. For purposes of the Lock-Up Agreement, the term “block trade” means any sale of 100,000 or more Common Units in a single transaction to a third party in a transaction not executed over a stock exchange so long as neither party makes any public announcement, filing or report unless required by law. The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Lock-Up Agreement filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.

Except for potential additional dispositions of Common Units by KCM, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any other persons, has any current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any transaction, event or action enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Each of the Reporting Persons expects to evaluate on an ongoing basis the Issuer’s financial condition, business, operations and prospects, the market price of the Common Units, conditions in the securities markets generally, general economic and industry conditions and other factors. Accordingly, each Reporting Person reserves the right to change its plans and intentions at any time, as it deems appropriate. In particular, while the Reporting Persons do not presently intend to purchase any additional Common Units or other securities of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons (and their respective affiliates) may purchase additional Common Units or other securities of the Issuer. Additionally, except to the extent proscribed by the Lock-Up Agreement, the Reporting Persons may continue to sell or transfer Common Units beneficially owned by them from time to time in public or private transactions. Any such transactions may be effected at any time or from time to time subject to any applicable limitations imposed on the sale of Issuer securities by the Lock-Up Agreement, the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or other applicable law.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The information set forth, or incorporated by reference, in Items 3, 4 and 6 of this statement is hereby incorporated by reference.

(a) Based on information reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on May 6, 2013, there were 26,624,276 Common Units outstanding as of May 6, 2013. As of the date of this report, the Reporting Persons own 1,323,300 Common Units of the Issuer, representing approximately 4.97% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common U nits.

Mr. Tabor is the sole member of Keeneland, and Keeneland is the managing member of KCM and owns an interest in KCM. As a result, Mr. Tabor and Keeneland may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Common Units owned by KCM.

(b) The Reporting Persons have the power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 1,323,300 Common Units beneficially owned by them.
