Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

On April 11, 2012, as a result of the termination of that certain Investor Services Agreement by and between the Issuer and WGL, and pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Deferred Fee Agreement by and between the Issuer and WGL (the “Deferred Fee Agreement”), 6,403,002 Class B Units were issued to WGL by the Issuer, subject to adjustment as of March 31, 2012. On May 11, 2012, an additional 536,645 Class B Units were issued to WGL by the Issuer reflecting an adjustment based on the deferred fee liability as of March 31, 2012. On May 1, 2014, the capital account allocable to a Class B Unit equaled the capital account allocable to a regular Common Unit and, therefore, all then outstanding Class B Units converted automatically into regular Common Units. Subsequent to the May 1, 2014 conversion, 706,991 Common Units were sold in a private transaction on November 4, 2015.

On January 7, 2015, pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Fee Agreement, 130,264 Class B Units were issued to WGL by the Issuer. On May 16, 2016, the capital account allocable to a Class B Unit equaled the capital account allocable to a regular Common Unit and, therefore, all then outstanding Class B Units converted automatically into regular Common Units.

On May 1, 2014, SPH SPV was issued 1,542,073 Class C Units with respect to the Incentive Units received pursuant to that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Management Agreement effective as of May 11, 2012 (the “Management Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, SPH Group LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and SP General Services, LLC, the manager of the Issuer (“SP General Services”). The right to receive such Class C Units was previously assigned to SPH SPV by SP General Services. On May 1, 2014, the capital account allocable to a Class C Unit equaled the capital account allocable to a regular Common Unit and, therefore, all then outstanding Class C Units converted automatically into regular Common Units. Subsequent to the May 1, 2014 conversion, 340,926 Common Units were withdrawn from SPH SPV.

On January 7, 2015, the Issuer and SPH SPV entered into that certain Incentive Unit Agreement (the “Incentive Unit Agreement”), effective as of May 11, 2012, to restate the provisions related to the Incentive Units from the Management Agreement without substantive change.

On February 13, 2018, SPH SPV was issued 461,442 Class C Units with respect to the Incentive Units received pursuant to the Incentive Unit Agreement. The right to receive such Class C Units was previously assigned to SPH SPV by SP General Services. In June 2018, the capital account allocable to a Class C Unit equaled the capital account allocable to a regular Common Unit and, therefore, all then outstanding Class C Units converted automatically into regular Common Units. Subsequent to the June 2018 conversion, 121,883 Common Units were withdrawn from SPH SPV.

Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Common Units at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Common Units desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their respective positions in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Common Units on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable to the extent permitted by the limited partnership agreement of the Issuer or applicable law.

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein or in Mr. Lichtenstein’s or Mr. Howard’s capacities as executive officers and directors of the general partner of the Issuer.

Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Units reported herein that he or it does not directly own.
