Each director nominee is currently serving on the Board. Certain individual qualifications and skills of our directors that contribute to the Board’s effectiveness as a whole are described below in each director’s biographical information under the heading “Executive Officers and Directors.”

The election of directors in this Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the unitholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each unitholder entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is entitled to cumulate his or her votes in the election of directors and give one candidate, or divide among any number of candidates, a number of votes equal to the product of (x) the number of common units and preferred units (on an as-converted basis) held by the unitholder, multiplied by (y) the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors. In addition, as described below under “Majority Voting Policy,” each of the incumbent director nominees is required to tender his or her resignation as a director if he or she fails to receive at least a majority vote election to the Board.

Unless otherwise indicated on the proxy, the persons named as proxies will vote “FOR ALL” of the nominees listed above. We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve if elected; however, should any of the nominees become unable to serve prior to the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for the election of such other persons as may be nominated by the Board.

<div align='center'>**THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR ALL” OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES.
