Common units purchased under the DRIP will come from the Company’s authorized but unissued common units or from common units purchased on the open market. As of August 1, 2013, the Company had not yet issued any units under this registration statement. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for significant events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
