Consolidated Financial Statements

Consolidated Balance Sheets, page F-3

1. We note that you are required to redeem the Class 1 and Class 2 Units by June 2007 and June 2012, respectively, provided the unit holder has timely exercised the unit holder`s put right. We also note that your recently issued Series B Preferred Units are redeemable upon a change in control. Considering that the redemption of these Units appears to be outside of your control, tell us how you considered Rule 5-02.28 of Regulation S-X and EITF D-98 in your classification and measurement of the redeemable units within permanent equity.

Consolidated Statements of Operations, page F-4

2. Please explain to us how you considered paragraph 60 of SFAS and EITF 03-6 in calculating net income per unit as it appears the various classes participate in dividends differently.

In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that:

* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
