The Underwriters were also granted an over allotment option for a period of 30 days to purchase up to an additional 690,000 common units, which over allotment option was exercised on September 10, 2009. The material terms of the offering of the Common Units are described in the prospectus supplement, dated September 9, 2009, as filed by the Partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Partnership and certain affiliates, and customary conditions to closing, indemnification rights, obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
Some of the Underwriters and their affiliates have performed investment and commercial banking and advisory services for the Partnership and its affiliates from time to time for which they have received customary fees and expenses.

Affiliates of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, J.P.
