The Elected Directors are divided into three classes and are elected to serve staggered three-year terms and until such director's successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. The term of the Partnership's Class I Director expires at the Meeting. Accordingly, the Board has nominated Evangelos Vlahoulis, the current Class I Director, for election as Class I Director whose term would expire at the Partnership's 2018 Annual General Meeting of Limited Partners.
Unless the proxy is marked to indicate that such authorization is expressly withheld, the persons named in the enclosed proxy intend to vote the units authorized thereby FOR the election of the following nominee.  It is expected that the nominee will be able to serve, but if before the election it develops that the nominee is unavailable, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote for the election of such substitute nominee as the current Board may recommend.
