Actual cash distributions on our LP Units totaled $204.2 million and $188.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  We also paid distributions in-kind to our Class B unitholders by issuing 349,242 Class B Units during the six months ended June 30, 2013.   On August 2, 2013, we announced a quarterly distribution of $1.0625 per LP Unit that will be paid on August 20, 2013, to LP unitholders of record on August 12, 2013.  Based on the LP Units outstanding as of June 30, 2013, cash distributed to LP unitholders on August 20, 2013 will total approximately $104.3 million.  Based on Class B Units outstanding as of June 30, 2013, we also expect to issue approximately 146,000 Class B Units in lieu of cash distributions on August 20, 2013, to Class B unitholders of record on August 12, 2013.  The Class B Units will convert into LP Units on a one-for-one basis on the date on which at least 4 million barrels of incremental storage capacity are placed in service at our BORCO facility, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2013. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for the formation, structure, control and ownership of the partnership.
