In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Partnership, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (A) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (B) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership Parties on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Units or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Partnership Parties on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Partnership Parties on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Units shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Units (before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership Parties and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Units set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Partnership Parties on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Partnership Parties or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective number of Units they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

(e) The Partnership Parties and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Units underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Partnership Parties contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Partnership Parties, each of their officers or directors or any person controlling the Partnership Parties and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Units.

9. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by the Managers identified in Schedule I to the Partnership, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of the Partnership shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Units that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Units which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Units to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Units set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate number of Firm Units set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Units which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Units that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Units without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Units and the aggregate number of Firm Units with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Units to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Partnership for the purchase of such Firm Units are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Partnership. In any such case, either you or the Partnership shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Units and the aggregate number of Additional Units with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Units to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Units to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Units that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If the Partnership shall fail to tender the Units for delivery to the Underwriters by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of any of the Partnership Entities to perform any agreement on its part to be performed, or because any other condition to the Underwriters’ obligations hereunder required to be fulfilled by the Partnership Entities is not fulfilled for any reason or (b) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Units for any reason permitted under this Agreement, then, except as specified in the following sentence, the Partnership Entities will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Units, and upon demand the Partnership Entities shall pay the full amount thereof to the Managers. If this Agreement is terminated (i) pursuant to Section 9 because of the occurrence of any event specified in Section 9 (other than as specified in Sections 9(ii)), the Partnership Entities shall not be obligated to reimburse the Underwriters for any expenses specified in the immediately preceding sentence or (ii) pursuant to this Section 10 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Partnership Entities shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of those expenses.

11. Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Units, represents the entire agreement between the Partnership and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Units.

(b) The Partnership acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Units: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Partnership or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Partnership only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Partnership. The Partnership waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims each of them may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Xxxxx.

00. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

13. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

14. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

15. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to you at the address set forth in Schedule I hereto; and if to the Partnership shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the address of the Partnership set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Xxxxxx X.

B-2

10. Each of the General Partner and the Partnership has all requisite limited liability company or limited partnership, as the case may be, power and authority under the laws of the State of Delaware (i) to execute and deliver and incur and perform its obligations under, the Underwriting Agreement, including to issue, sell and deliver the Firm Units, in accordance with and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Partnership Agreement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and, in the case of the General Partner, to act as the general partner of the Partnership in all material respects as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and (ii) to execute and deliver the Contribution Agreement (together with the Underwriting Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”) and to perform its obligations thereunder.

16. The statements under the captions “Conflicts of Interest and Fiduciary Duties,” “Material Provisions of Our Partnership Agreement,” “Provisions of Our Partnership Agreement Relating to Cash Distributions” and “Description of the Common Units” in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, insofar as such statements purport to summarize the terms of statutes, rules or regulations, legal and governmental proceedings or contracts and other documents reviewed by us as described above, fairly summarize the terms of such statutes, rules and regulations, legal and governmental proceedings and contracts and other documents in all material respects, subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated therein.

17. The statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Material Tax Considerations,” insofar as they refer to statements of law or legal conclusions, fairly summarize the matters referred to therein in all material respects, subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated therein.

B-4

18. The opinion of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP that is filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the Partnership’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC as of the date hereof is confirmed and the Underwriters may rely upon such opinion as if it were addressed to them.

19. The Partnership is not, and immediately after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Firm Units occurring today and the application of proceeds therefrom as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus will not be, an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

In addition, such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Partnership and the General Partner, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Partnership and the General Partner, your counsel and your representatives at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents) and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel has not independently verified and is not passing upon, and does not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (except as and to the extent set forth in paragraphs 15, 16 and 17 above), on the basis of the foregoing (relying with respect to factual matters to the extent such counsel deems appropriate upon statements by officers and other representatives of the Partnership and the General Partner),

(a) such counsel confirms to you that, in such counsel’s opinion, each of the Registration Statement, as of its effective date, the preliminary prospectus, as of its date, and the Prospectus, as of its date, and each of the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”) when filed with the Commission, appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations; provided, however, that such counsel need not express an opinion, statement or belief as to Regulation S-T,

(b) such counsel has not become aware of any documents that are required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or any of the Incorporated Documents and are not so filed or of any documents that are required to be summarized in the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or any of the Incorporated Documents, and are not so summarized, and furthermore

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that the Managers propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) on behalf of the several Underwriters named in Schedule II thereto (the “Underwriters”) with El Paso Pipeline Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters, including Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (“BofA Xxxxxxx Xxxxx”), of common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units”).

To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of BofA Xxxxxxx Xxxxx on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 45 days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Units or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Units, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Units or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transactions relating to Common Units or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Common Units or other securities acquired in such open market transactions, (b) transfers of Common Units or any security convertible into Common Units as a bona fide gift, or (c) distributions of Common Units or any security convertible into Common Units to limited partners or stockholders of the undersigned; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (b) or (c), (i) each donee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter and (ii) no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Common Units, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the restricted period referred to in the foregoing sentence, or (d) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Common Units, provided that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Units during the restricted period. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of BofA Xxxxxxx Xxxxx on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 45 days after the date of the Prospectus, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Common Units or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Units. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Partnership’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Units except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned understands that the Partnership and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Partnership and the Underwriters.

It is understood that, if the Partnership notifies BofA Xxxxxxx Xxxxx that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, if the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective, or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Common Units, the undersigned will be released from its obligations under this lock-up letter agreement.

Facsimile transmission of any signed original agreement shall be the same as delivery of an original signed agreement.
