<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20&nbsp;percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148;
table in the effective registration statement; and
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%"><I>provided, however, </I>that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
Except to the extent that information is deemed furnished and not filed pursuant to securities
laws and regulations, the following documents, which previously have been filed by the Registrant
with the Commission, are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof:
(a) The Registrant's prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act filed
with the Commission on December 17, 2010, relating to the Registrant's Registration Statement on
Form S-1 (File No. 333-169664), originally filed with the Commission on September 30, 2010.
(b) The description of the Registrant's Common Units representing limited partner interests
contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, originally filed with the
Commission on December 14, 2010 pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, including any
amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
Except to the extent that information is deemed furnished and not filed pursuant to securities
laws and regulations, all documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement and prior to
the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered have been sold
or that deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall also be deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein and to be a part hereof from the dates of filing of such documents. Any statement
contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that
a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed
to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so
modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a
part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The partnership agreement of the Registrant provides that the partnership will, to the fullest
extent permitted by law but subject to the limitations expressly provided therein, indemnify and
hold harmless any person who is or was an officer, director, or manager of the General Partner, a
departing general partner or an affiliate of either the General Partner or a departing general
partner (each a "Partnership Indemnitee") from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities (joint or several), expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines,
penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands,
actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which
any Partnership Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise, by reason of its status as a Partnership Indemnitee, provided that the Partnership
Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final and non-appealable
judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter
for which the Partnership Indemnitee is seeking indemnification, the Partnership Indemnitee acted
in bad faith, engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence
or, a breach of its obligations under the partnership agreement of the Registrant or a breach
of its fiduciary duty in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Partnership
Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful. To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including
legal fees and expenses) incurred by a Partnership Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to the
partnership agreement in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time
to time, be advanced by the partnership prior to a final and non-appealable judgment that the
Partnership Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the partnership of any
undertaking by or on behalf of the Partnership Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be
determined that the Partnership Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under the partnership
agreement. Any indemnification shall be made only out of the assets of the Registrant; the General
Partner will not be personally liable for such indemnification and will have no obligation to
contribute or loan any money to enable such indemnification.
The Registrant is authorized to purchase (or to reimburse its general partner for the costs
of) insurance against liabilities asserted against and expenses incurred by its general partners,
its affiliates and such other persons as the respective general partners may determine and
described in the paragraph above in connection with their activities, whether or not they would
have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under the provisions described in
the paragraphs above. The General Partner has purchased insurance covering its officers and
directors against liabilities asserted and expenses incurred in connection with their activities as
officers and directors of our general partner or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.
The underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the sale of the securities offered
pursuant to the Registrant's registration statement filed on Form S-1 (File No. 333-169664)
provides for indemnification of officers and directors of the General Partner with regard to untrue
statements or omissions or alleged untrue statements or omissions made in the registration
statement filed Form S-1 and the associated prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.
Subject to any terms, conditions, or restrictions set forth in the Partnership Agreement,
Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act empowers a Delaware limited
partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other persons from and against all claims
and demands whatsoever.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has
reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has
duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
