Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

In connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering (“IPO”) on September 29, 2005, the Issuer issued the following securities to the following parties pursuant to a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement:  (i) the General Partner received 226,736 Common Units and 1,723,196 subordinated units (“Subordinated Units”) representing limited partner interests in the Issuer; (ii) Montello received 308,552 Common Units and 2,344,992 Subordinated Units ; (iii) Larea Holdings II LLC (“Larea II”) received 37,121 Common Units and 282,121 Subordinated Units ; (iv) Chelsea Terminal Limited Partnership (“Chelsea”) received 94,659 Common Units and 719,409 Subordinated Units; and (v) Sandwich Terminal, L.L.C. (“Sandwich”) received 1,114 Common Units and 8,464 Subordinated Units.  On October 4, 2005, in connection with the IPO, the net proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Common Units were used to redeem (a) 224,469 Common Units from GPC, (b) 305,466 Common Units from Montello, (c) 1,103 Common Units from Sandwich and (d) 93,712 Common Units from Chelsea.  On October 29, 2005, Alfred A. Slifka purchased 100 Common Units.

On February 16, 2011, the Subordinated Units converted into Common Units on a one-for-one basis upon the satisfaction of certain operational and financial tests set forth in the Issuer’s Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”).

On March 1, 2012, the Issuer issued 5,850,000 Common Units to AEHC (the “AEHC Units”) as partial consideration for AEHC’s 100% membership interest in Alliance Energy LLC.

On March 9, 2014, Alfred A. Slifka died. The Common Units beneficially owned by the Estate were acquired by the Estate by operation of law upon Alfred A. Slifka’s death.

AEHC distributed all of the AEHC Units to its stockholders (the “AEHC Stockholders”) pursuant to a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution (the “AEHC Liquidation”) of AEHC dated March 23, 2015, which was entered into by the directors and stockholders of AEHC.  No consideration was paid by the AEHC Stockholders in connection with the AEHC Liquidation.

As a result of the AEHC Liquidation, the Estate and Richard Slifka each received a distribution of 975,000 Common Units.  Upon the AEHC Liquidation, AEHC ceased to hold any Common Units, and accordingly, the Estate and Richard Slifka are no longer deemed to have indirect ownership of any of the Common Units that were distributed to the other AEHC Stockholders in the transaction.

On March 27, 2014, pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated March 23, 2015 made by and among the Partnership, Global Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the General Partner, Barclays Capital Inc. and the AEHC Stockholders (the “Underwriting Agreement”), the AEHC Stockholders offered and sold, in an underwritten public offering (the “2015 Secondary Offering”), an aggregate of 1,956,234 of the AEHC Units that they received in

7

the AEHC Liquidation.  The Estate and Richard Slifka sold 95,627 and 361,895 Common Units, respectively, in the 2015 Secondary Offering.  The AEHC Stockholders received $35.75 per Common Unit sold in the 2015 Secondary Offering.

From time to time, the General Partner repurchases Common Units on the open market for the purpose of meeting its anticipated obligations to deliver Common Units under the Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) and meeting the General Partner’s obligations under existing employment agreements and other employment related obligations of the General Partner.  The General Partner is currently authorized to acquire up to 1,242,427 of its common units in the aggregate over an extended period of time.  Common units of the Partnership may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, including block purchases, or in privately negotiated transactions. Such authorized unit repurchases may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time, and are subject to price, economic and market conditions, applicable legal requirements and available liquidity.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Units reported herein solely for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may make additional purchases of Common Units either in the open market or in private transactions depending on each of their respective businesses, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Common Units, general economic conditions, stock market conditions and other future developments.

(a)                                 Pursuant to Alfred A. Slifka’s estate plan, all Common Units and all interests in the General Partner, GPC, Montello, Chelsea and Sandwich that are owned by the estate will be distributed to a trust, the beneficiaries of which are members of Mr. Slifka’s family.

(b)                                 None.

(c)                                  None.

(d)                                 None.

(e)                                  The Estate and Richard Slifka, as the direct and indirect owners of the General Partner, may cause the Issuer to change its dividend policy or its capitalization, through the issuance of debt or equity securities, from time to time in the future. The Estate and Richard Slifka, however, have no current intention of changing the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer.

(f)                                   None.

(g)                                  The Estate and Richard Slifka, as the direct and indirect owners of the General Partner, may cause changes to the Issuer’s Certificate of Limited Partnership and Partnership Agreement.  The Estate and Richard Slifka, however, have no current intention of changing the Issuer’s Certificate of Limited Partnership, Partnership Agreement or any other instrument relating thereto to impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person.

(h)                                 None.

(i)                                     None.

(j)                                    Except as described in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons have, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, any other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (i) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Estate and Richard Slifka may change their plans or proposals in the future. In determining from time to time whether to sell the Common Units reported as beneficially owned in this Schedule 13D (and in what amounts) or to retain such securities, the Reporting Persons will take into consideration such factors as they deem relevant, including the business and prospects of the Issuer, anticipated future developments concerning the Issuer, existing and anticipated market conditions from time to time, general economic conditions, regulatory matters and other opportunities available to them.  The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire additional securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (which may be with the Issuer or with third parties) or otherwise, to dispose of all or a portion of their respective holdings of securities of the Issuer or to change their intentions with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.
