Morgan and Raymond James, which acted as joint book-running managers and as the representatives of the several underwriters named therein, and Stifel Nicolaus Weisel, which acted as co-manager of the offering (collectively, the "Underwriters"), providing for the offer and sale in a firm commitment offering of 6,300,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the "Common Units") at a price to the public of $37.61 per Common Unit. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 945,000 additional Common Units at the same public offering price.

The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering are expected to be approximately $236.9 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us, or gross proceeds of approximately $272.5 million if the Underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional common units pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. The Offering is expected to close on or about August 14, 2012, subject to conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. All of the Common Units in the Offering are to be sold by the Company.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
