**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

 

Global Partners LP (the “***Partnership***”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (“***Amendment No. 1***”) to amend Part II, Item 6 of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2010 (the “***Original Quarterly Report***”). The Partnership is filing this Amendment No. 1 for the sole purpose of filing portions of Exhibit 10.6 to the Original Quarterly Report, which were not included in Exhibit 10.6 filed with the Original Quarterly Report.

 

In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits hereto.

 

Except as described above, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify or update the disclosures presented in, or exhibits to, the Original Quarterly Report in any way. Those sections of the Original Quarterly Report that are unaffected by this Amendment No. 1 are not included herein. This Amendment No. 1 continues to speak as of the date of the Original Quarterly Report. Furthermore, this Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Quarterly Report. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Quarterly Report, as well as with the Partnership’s other filings made with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the filing of the Original Quarterly Report.
