The Partnership agrees that whenever it determines to sell the Units directly to any Manager as principal, it will enter into a separate agreement (each, a “Terms Agreement”), in form and substance satisfactory to the Partnership and such Manager, relating to such sale in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement.

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties of the Partnership. The Partnership represents and warrants to and agrees with each Manager that:

(a)The Partnership meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act and has prepared and filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-199130), including a form of prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of the Units, and such registration statement has become effective. The Registration Statement (as defined below) contains certain information concerning the offering and sale of the Common Units, including the Units, and contains additional information concerning the Partnership and its business; the Commission has not issued an order preventing or suspending the use of the Basic Prospectus (as defined below), the Prospectus Supplement (as defined below) or the Prospectus (as defined below) or the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Act has been instituted or, to the Partnership’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission. Except where the context otherwise requires, “Registration Statement,” as used herein, means the registration statement, as amended at the time of such registration statement’s effectiveness for purposes of Section 11 of the Act, as such section applies to the Managers, as well as any new registration statement or post-effective amendment as may have been filed pursuant to Sections 4(g) or (h) of this Agreement, including (1) all documents filed as a part thereof or incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, (2) any information contained or incorporated by reference in a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, to the extent such information is deemed, pursuant to Rule 430B or Rule 430C under the Act, to be part of the registration statement at the time of such registration statement’s effectiveness for purposes of Section 11 of the Act, as such section applies to the Managers, and (3) any registration statement filed to register the offer and sale of Units pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act.

Except where the context otherwise requires, “Prospectus,” as used herein, means the Prospectus Supplement together with the Basic Prospectus attached to or used with the Prospectus Supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any revised basic prospectus, prospectus supplement or prospectus shall be provided to the Managers by the Partnership for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Units which differs from the Basic Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus, as the case may be (whether or not such revised basic prospectus, prospectus supplement or prospectus is required to be filed by the Partnership pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act), the terms “Basic Prospectus,” “Prospectus Supplement” and “Prospectus” shall refer to such revised basic prospectus, prospectus supplement or prospectus, as the case may be, from and after the time it is first provided to the Managers for such use.

SECTION 3. Sale and Delivery of Securities.

(a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Partnership agrees to issue and sell through the Managers, as sales agents, and each Manager agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell, as sales agents for the Partnership, the Units on the following terms.

(i)The Units are to be sold on a daily basis or otherwise as shall be agreed to by the Partnership and such Manager on any day that (A) is a trading day for the NYSE (a “Trading Day”) (other than a Trading Day on which the NYSE is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time), (B) the Partnership has instructed such Manager by telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic mail) from any of the individuals listed as authorized representatives of the Partnership on Schedule D hereto (the “Authorized Partnership Representatives”) to make such sales and (C) the Partnership has satisfied its obligations under Section 6 of this Agreement. The Partnership will designate the maximum number of Units to be sold and the minimum price per Unit at which such Units may be sold by such Manager daily as agreed to by such Manager and in any event not in excess of the amount of Units available for issuance under the currently effective Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in excess of the amount of Units authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by ETP LLC’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to such Manager in writing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to offer and sell all of the Units designated on any day; provided, however, that such Manager shall have no obligation to offer or sell any Units, and the Partnership acknowledges and agrees that such Manager shall have no such obligation, in the event an offer or sale of the Units on behalf of the Partnership may in the judgment of such Manager constitute the sale of a “block” under Rule 10b-18(a)(5) under the Exchange Act or a “distribution” within the meaning of Rule 100 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act or such Manager reasonably believes it may be deemed an “underwriter” under the Act in a transaction that is other than by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions between members of the NYSE that qualify for delivery of a Prospectus to the NYSE in accordance with Rule 153 under the Act.

(ii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership, through any of the Authorized Partnership Representatives, may instruct such Manager by telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic mail) not to sell the Units if such sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by the Partnership in any such instruction. In addition, the Partnership or such Manager may, upon notice to the other party hereto by

telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic mail), suspend the offering of the Units for any reason and at any time (a “Suspension”); provided, however, that such Suspension shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Units sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice.

(iii)Each Manager hereby covenants and agrees not to make any sales of the Units on behalf of the Partnership, pursuant to this Section 3(a), other than (A) by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Act, including, without limitation, sales made directly on the NYSE, on any other existing trading market for the Common Units or to or through a market maker, (B) by any other method permitted by law, including, without limitation, in privately negotiated transactions, and (C) such other sales of the Units on behalf of the Partnership in its capacity as agent of the Partnership as shall be agreed by the Partnership and such Manager.

(iv)The compensation to each Manager, as an agent of the Partnership, for sales of the Units shall be up to 2% of the gross sales price of the Units sold as mutually agreed to in writing by such Manager(s) and the Partnership. The remaining proceeds, after further deduction for any transaction fees imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in connection with such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Partnership for such Units (the “Net Proceeds”).

(v)Each Manager shall provide written confirmation to the Partnership following the close of trading on the NYSE each day in which the Units are sold under this Section 3(a), setting forth the aggregate amount of the Units sold on such day, the aggregate Net Proceeds to the Partnership, and the aggregate compensation payable by the Partnership to such Manager with respect to such sales.

(vi)Settlement for sales of the Units pursuant to this Section 3(a) will occur on the third Trading Day following the date on which such sales are made (provided that, if such third trading day is not a business day (as defined below), then settlement will occur on the next succeeding trading day that is also a business day), unless another date shall be agreed upon by the Partnership and such Manager (each such date, a “Settlement Date”). As used in the preceding sentence and in Section 7 below, the term “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in The City of New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close. On each Settlement Date, the Units sold through such Manager for settlement on such date shall be issued and delivered by the Partnership to such Manager against payment of the Net Proceeds for the sale of such Units. Settlement for all such Units shall be effected by free delivery of the Units by the Partnership or its transfer agent to such Manager’s account, or to the account of such Manager’s designee, at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System (“DWAC”) or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered units eligible for delivery through DTC, in return for payments in same day

funds delivered to the account designated by the Partnership. If the Partnership, or its transfer agent (if applicable), shall default on its obligation to deliver the Units on any Settlement Date, the Partnership shall (A) indemnify and hold such Manager harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Partnership and (B) pay such Manager any commission to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default. The Authorized Partnership Representatives shall be the contact persons for the Partnership for all matters related to the settlement of the transfer of the Units through DWAC for purposes of this Section 3(a)(vi).

(vii)At each Time of Sale, Settlement Date and Representation Date (as defined in Section 4(q)), the Partnership shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement. Any obligation of any Manager to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Units on behalf of the Partnership shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Partnership herein, to the performance by the Partnership of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 6 of this Agreement.

(b) If the Partnership wishes to issue and sell the Units other than as set forth in Section 3(a) of this Agreement (each, a “Placement”), it will notify a Manager of the proposed terms of such Placement. If such Manager, acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which it may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussions with the Partnership, wishes to accept amended terms, such Manager and the Partnership will enter into a Terms Agreement setting forth the terms of such Placement, and such Terms Agreement will not be binding on the Partnership or such Manager unless and until the Partnership and such Manager have executed such Terms Agreement, accepting all of the terms of such Terms Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement will control.

(c) (i) Under no circumstances shall the Partnership cause or request the offer or sale of any Units if, after giving effect to the sale of such Units, the aggregate gross sales proceeds pursuant to this Agreement would exceed the lesser of (A) the amount set forth in Section 1, (B) the amount available for offer and sale under the currently effective Registration Statement and the Prospectus and (C) the amount authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by ETP LLC’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to the Managers in writing. Under no circumstances shall the Partnership cause or request the offer or sale of any Units at a price lower than the minimum price authorized from time to time by ETP LLC’s board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to the Managers in writing.

(ii) If either party has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied with respect to the Units, it shall promptly notify the other party and sales of the Units under

this Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party.

(d) Each sale of the Units to or through any Manager shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or, if applicable, a Terms Agreement.

(e) Subject to such further limitations on offers and sales of Units or delivery of instructions to offer and sell Units as are set forth herein and as may be mutually agreed upon by the Partnership and any Manager, the Partnership shall not request the sale of any Units that would be sold, and no Manager shall be obligated to sell, (i) during the 14 calendar days prior to the date (each, an “Announcement Date”) on which the Partnership shall issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other results of operations (each, an “Earnings Announcement”), (ii) at any time from and including an Announcement Date through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Partnership files (a “Filing Time”) a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement, or (iii) during any other period in which the Partnership is, or could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information; provided that, unless otherwise agreed between the Partnership and any Manager, for purposes of (i) and (ii) above, such period shall be deemed to end 24 hours after the next subsequent Filing Time.

(f) The Partnership acknowledges and agrees that (A) there can be no assurance that any Manager will be successful in selling the Units, (B) no Manager will incur any liability or obligation to the Partnership or any other person or entity if such Manager does not sell Units for any reason other than a failure by such Manager to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Units in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (C) each Manager shall be under no obligation to purchase Units on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically agreed in writing by such Manager and the Partnership.

(b) Each Manager, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partnership, its directors and officers, and any person who controls the Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Partnership or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense,

(c) If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against a person (an “indemnified party”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Partnership or any Manager (as applicable, the “indemnifying party”) pursuant to subsection (a) or (b), respectively, of this Section, such indemnified party shall promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and such indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which such indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party or otherwise. The indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or the indemnifying party shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party (in which case such indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such indemnifying party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such

Proceeding). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with its written consent, such indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party or parties from and against any loss or liability, as incurred, by reason of such settlement. 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 sentence of this Section 7(c), then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have fully reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. 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 includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 7 or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Managers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Units or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (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 (i) above but also the relative fault of the Partnership, on the one hand, and of the relevant Manager, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Partnership, on the one hand, and the relevant Manager, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership, and the total discounts and commissions received by the relevant Manager, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Units. The relative fault of the Partnership, on the one hand, and of the relevant Manager, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Partnership or by the relevant Manager and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of

the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

(e) The Partnership and each of the Managers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (d) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Manager shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of commissions received by it under this Agreement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) The Partnership and each of the Managers agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Partnership, against any of ETP LLC’s officers or directors in connection with the issuance and sale of the Units, or in connection with the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus or the Prospectus.

SECTION 8. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 7 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Partnership contained in this Agreement or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Manager or any of its affiliates or its or their directors, officers, employees or agents or any person (including each director, officer, employee or agent of such person) who controls such Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Partnership, its directors or officers or any person who controls the Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Units.

No other person, partnership, association or corporation (including a purchaser, as such purchaser, from any Manager) shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.

SECTION 12. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Partnership hereby acknowledges that each Manager is acting solely as sales agent and/or principal in connection with the purchase and sale of the Partnership’s securities. The Partnership further acknowledges that each Manager is acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis, and in no event do the parties intend that any Manager act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Partnership, its management, securityholders or creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that any Manager may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Partnership’s securities, either before or after the date hereof. Each Manager hereby expressly disclaims any fiduciary or similar obligations to the Partnership, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the Partnership hereby confirms its understanding and agreement to that effect. The Partnership and each of the Managers agree that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views expressed by any Manager to the Partnership regarding such transactions, including, but not limited to, any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the Partnership’s securities, do not constitute advice or recommendations to the Partnership. The Partnership hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Partnership may have against any Manager with respect to any breach or

alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty to the Partnership in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.

SECTION 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed by the parties in one or more counterparts which together shall constitute one and the same agreement among the parties.

SECTION 17. Law; Construction. This Agreement and any claim, counterclaim or dispute of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement (“Claim”), directly or indirectly, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 18. Headings. The Section headings in this Agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference and are not a part of this Agreement.

SECTION 19. Submission to Jurisdiction. Except as set forth below, no Claim may be commenced, prosecuted or continued in any court other than the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which courts shall have jurisdiction over the adjudication of such matters, and the Partnership consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with respect thereto. The Partnership hereby consents to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any court in which any Claim arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement is brought by any third party against any Manager or any indemnified party. Each of the Managers and the Partnership (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its securityholders and affiliates) waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Partnership agrees that a final judgment in any such action, proceeding or counterclaim brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the

Partnership and may be enforced in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Partnership is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.

SECTION 20. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon each Manager and the Partnership and their successors and assigns and any successor or assign of any substantial portion of the Partnership’s and such Manager’s respective businesses and/or assets.

Exhibit A

FORM OF OPINION OF XXXXXX & XXXXXX, L.L.P.

Each of the entities listed in Annex I hereto (the “ETP Entities”) has been duly formed and is validly existing and in good standing as a limited partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, with all partnership or limited liability company power and authority necessary to own or lease, as the case may be, and operate its properties and conduct its business in each case as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and (i) in the case of the General Partner, to act as the general partner of the Partnership, (ii) in the case of ETP LLC, to act as the general partner of the General Partner and (iii) in the case of the Partnership, to execute and deliver the Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder, including, without limitation, to issue, sell and deliver the Units as contemplated by the Agreement.

The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership and the General Partner owns an approximate 1.0% general partner interest in the Partnership (the “GP Interest”) and all of the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership (“Incentive Distribution Rights”); such GP Interest and Incentive Distribution Rights have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the Partnership Agreement and the General Partner owns such GP Interest and Incentive Distribution Rights free and clear of all liens, claims, charges and encumbrances (“Liens”) (a) in respect of which a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware naming the General Partner as debtor is on file in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or (b) otherwise known to us without independent investigation, other than those created by or arising under Sections 17-303(a) and 17-607 of the Delaware LP Act.

The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Partnership. The Partnership has all requisite right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder. All partnership action required to be taken by the Partnership or any of its security holders, partners or members for (a) the due and proper authorization, execution and delivery of the Agreement and (b) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement have been duly and validly taken.

Upon due action by the Authorized Partnership Representatives pursuant to Section 3(a)(i)(B) of the Agreement, the Units will have been duly and validly authorized and when issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid (to the extent required under the Partnership Agreement) and non-assessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 17-303(a), 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware LP Act).


5.	Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by each party thereto (other than the General Partner), the Partnership Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the General Partner, enforceable against the General Partner in accordance with its terms.

The Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except for the financial statements and the notes and schedules thereto and the other financial information included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as to which we express no opinion), each appear on its face to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act (including, in the case of the Prospectus, Section 10(a) of the Act) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.


7.	The Registration Statement was declared effective under the Act on November 19, 2014; to our knowledge, no stop order proceedings with respect thereto are pending or threatened under the Act; and any required filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act has been made in the manner and within the time period required by such Rule and in compliance with Rule 430B under the Act.

No approval, authorization, consent or order under any federal law, the laws of the State of New York, the Delaware LP Act or the Delaware LLC Act, or approval, authorization, consent of or filing with any New York governmental or regulatory commission, board, body, authority or agency, in each case as applicable to any of the ETP Entities or with any Delaware governmental or regulatory commission, board, body, authority or agency pursuant to the Delaware LP Act or the Delaware LLC Act, is required in connection with the issuance and sale of the Units pursuant to the Agreement or with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement other than registration of the Units under the Act, which has been effected (except that we express no opinion with respect to state or federal securities laws).

The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by the Partnership, the issuance and sale of the Units and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement do not and will not result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default under (nor constitute any event which, with notice, lapse of time or both, would result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default under or give the holder of any indebtedness (or a person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a part of such indebtedness under) (or result in the creation or imposition of a Lien on any property or assets of the ETP Entities pursuant to) (i) the certificate of limited partnership or agreement of limited partnership, certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents of the ETP Entities, or (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan or credit agreement or other evidence of indebtedness, or any license, lease, contract or other agreement or instrument (collectively, “Agreements and Instruments”) which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Incorporated Document, or (iii) federal laws, the laws of the State of New York or the Delaware LP Act, or (iv) any governmental decree, judgment or order applicable to the ETP Entities or

Exhibit A

any of their respective properties, which decree, judgment or order is identified to us by any of the ETP Entities as being material to the ETP Entities as a whole, excluding those breaches, violations, defaults or liens, in the case of clause (ii), that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or could not materially impair the ability of any of the ETP Entities to perform its obligations under the Agreement; provided, however, that no opinion is expressed pursuant to this paragraph with respect to federal or state securities laws, tax laws or antifraud laws.


10.	The Partnership is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Units, will not be an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act.

11.

The statements in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus under the headings “Description of Units”, “Cash Distribution Policy” and “Material U.S. Income Tax Considerations”, insofar as such statements constitute summaries of documents or legal proceedings or refer to matters of law or legal conclusions, are accurate summaries in all material respects; and the Units conform as to legal matters in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.


12.	Our opinion that is filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration Statement is confirmed, and the Managers may rely upon such opinion as if it were addressed to them.

We have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the ETP Entities, representatives of the independent public accountants of the ETP Entities and representatives of the Managers at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus and the Prospectus were discussed and, although we are not passing upon and do not assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus or the Prospectus (except as and to the extent stated in subparagraphs 6 and 11 above), on the basis of the foregoing, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, as of its most recent Effective Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) the Prospectus, as of its date and the date hereof [Note: initial opinion to be dated as of the date of program commencement; subsequent opinions to be dated as of the applicable Representation Date], includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that we make no statement with respect to the financial statements and schedules, and other financial data derived therefrom, included in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus or the Prospectus.

In the event that such opinion shall define the terms “Prospectus” or “Registration Statement” (rather than indicating that those terms have the respective meanings set forth in the Equity Distribution Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached), then such opinion shall state that (i) the term “Prospectus,” as used in such opinion, includes the documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 (the “Incorporated Documents”) and (ii) the term “Registration Statement,” as used in such opinion, includes the documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated by reference therein

Exhibit A

pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 and also includes all information contained or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus to the extent such information is deemed, pursuant to Rule 430B or, if applicable, Rule 430C under the Act, to be part of the Registration Statement at any time of the Registration Statement’s effectiveness for purposes of Section 11 of the Act, as such section applies to the Managers.

Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Equity Distribution Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached.
