The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Partnership Parties may otherwise have to any Underwriter or to any director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of that Underwriter.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership Parties, their respective employees, the officers and directors of the General Partner, and each person, if any, who controls the Partnership Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Partnership Parties or any such officer, director, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, the

Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of all of the foregoing, other than the Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Underwriter furnished to the Partnership Parties through the Representatives by or on behalf of that Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information is limited to the information set forth in Section 8(e) hereof. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Partnership Parties or any such officer, director, employee or controlling person.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Representatives shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the Representatives and those other Underwriters and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Underwriters against the Partnership Parties under this Section 8 if, (i) the Partnership Parties and the Underwriters shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the Partnership Parties have failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters; (iii) the Underwriters and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the Partnership Parties; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Underwriters or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the Partnership Parties, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Partnership Parties. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise

or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include any findings of fact or admissions of fault or culpability as to the indemnified party, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or 8(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership Parties, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, from the offering of the Securities 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 Parties, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, 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, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Operating Partnership, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Securities purchased under this Agreement, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Partnership Parties or the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Partnership Parties and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d) were to be 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 into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8(d), 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(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities underwritten by it exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has

otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any 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 Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The Underwriters severally confirm and the Partnership Parties acknowledge and agree that the statements regarding delivery of the Securities by the Underwriters set forth on the cover page of, and the concession and reallowance figures and the paragraphs relating to stabilization by the Underwriters appearing under the caption “Underwriting” in, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information concerning such Underwriters furnished in writing to the Partnership Parties by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto.

Section 9. Defaulting Underwriters.

If, on any Delivery Date, any Underwriter defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase the Securities that the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase on such Delivery Date in the respective proportions which the principal amount of the Securities set forth opposite the name of each remaining non-defaulting Underwriter in Schedule 1 hereto bears to the total principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule 1 hereto; provided, however, that the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Securities on such Delivery Date if the total principal amount of Securities that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 9.09% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such Delivery Date and any remaining non-defaulting Underwriter shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the principal amount of Securities that it agreed to purchase on such Delivery Date pursuant to the terms of Section 2. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters, or those other underwriters satisfactory to the Representatives who so agree, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, the total aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such Delivery Date. If the remaining Underwriters or other underwriters satisfactory to the Representatives do not elect to purchase the Securities that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Delivery Date, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Partnership Parties, except that the Partnership Parties will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Sections 6 and 11. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Securities that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Partnership Parties for damages caused by its default. If other Underwriters are obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting or withdrawing Underwriter, either the Representatives or the Issuers may postpone the Delivery Date for up to seven (7) full

business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel to the Issuers or counsel to the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement.

Section 10. Termination.

The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to and received by the Issuers prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment, (i) trading in any securities of the Issuers shall have been suspended on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market by the Commission or the NYSE, (ii) trading in securities generally on the NYSE, NYSE Alternext US, or in the over-the-counter market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or market by the Commission, by such exchange, or by any other regulatory body or governmental authority, (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities, or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis, the effect of which on financial markets in the United States is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

Section 11. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses.

If the Issuers shall fail to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of any of the Partnership Parties 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 any of the Partnership Parties is not fulfilled for any reason the Partnership Parties will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Securities, and upon demand the Partnership Parties shall pay the full amount thereof to the Representatives. If this Agreement is terminated (i) pursuant to Section 10(ii), (iii) or (iv) or (ii) pursuant to Section 9 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Partnership Parties shall not be obligated to reimburse any Underwriter, in the case of clause (i) of this sentence, or any defaulting Underwriter, in the case of clause (ii) of this sentence, on account of the expenses described in the first sentence of this section.

Section 12. Research Independence.

The Partnership Parties acknowledge that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Partnership Parties and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Partnership Parties hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Partnership Parties may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments

may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Partnership Parties by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. The Partnership Parties acknowledge that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 13. No Fiduciary Duty.

The Partnership Parties acknowledge and agree that in connection with this offering, sale of the Securities or any other services the Underwriters may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Underwriters: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Partnership Entities and any other person, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, exists; (ii) the Underwriters are not acting as advisors, expert or otherwise, to any of the Partnership Entities, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the public offering price of the Securities, and such relationship between the Partnership Entities, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the Partnership Entities shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Partnership Entities. The Partnership Parties hereby waive any claims that they may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with this offering of the Securities.

Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect at the time of receipt thereof. The Partnership Parties shall be entitled to act and rely upon any request, consent, notice or agreement given or made on behalf of the Underwriters by the Representatives.

The Notes shall be issued upon original issuance in whole in the form of one or more Global Securities (the “Book-Entry Notes”). Each Book-Entry Note shall represent such of the Outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.

Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, and the name or names of the initial Holder or Holders.

The principal amount of each Note shall be payable on February 15, 2022. Each Note shall bear interest from the date of original issuance, or the most recent date to which interest has

been paid, at the fixed rate of 4.650% per annum. The dates on which interest on the Notes shall be payable shall be February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2012 in the case of the Original Notes (the “Interest Payment Dates”). The regular record date for interest payable on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date shall be February 1 or August 1 (the “Regular Record Date”), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.

(5) any Lien upon any property or asset of an entity existing thereon at the time that entity becomes a Subsidiary by acquisition, merger or otherwise; provided, however, that the Lien only encumbers the property or asset of that entity at the time it becomes a Subsidiary;

4.650% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2022

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Partnership (the “Debt Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Partnership, the Guarantor and the Holders of the Debt Securities. The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Security is one of a series designated as the 4.650% Senior Notes due 2022 of the Partnership, in initial aggregate principal amount of $300 million (the “Securities”).

1.	Interest.

The Partnership promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate of 4.650% per annum.

The Partnership will pay interest semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing February 15, 2012. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on the Securities, from August 2, 2011. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Partnership shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy laws) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) and on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the same rate per annum, in each case to the extent lawful.

2.	Method of Payment.

The Partnership shall pay interest on the Securities (except Defaulted Interest) to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for (“Defaulted Interest”) may be paid to the persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, or in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may then be listed if such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee, as more fully provided in the Indenture. The Partnership shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. Payments in respect of Securities in definitive form (including principal, premium, if any, and

A-4

interest) will be made at the office or agency of the Partnership maintained for such purpose within The City of New York, which initially will be U.S. Bank National Association, 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005 Attention: Corporate Trust Department, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders on the relevant record date at their addresses set forth in the Debt Security register of Holders or at the option of the Holder, payment of interest on Securities in definitive form will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to any account maintained in the United States, provided such Holder has requested such method of payment and provided timely wire transfer instructions to the paying agent. The Holder must surrender this Security to a paying agent to collect payment of principal.

3.	Paying Agent and Registrar.

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association will act as paying agent and Registrar. The Partnership may change any paying agent or Registrar at any time upon notice to the Trustee and the Holders. The Partnership may act as paying agent.

4.	Indenture.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Debt Securities of the Partnership issued and to be issued in one or more series under the Indenture.

Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Original Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA, as in effect on the date of the Original Indenture, and those terms stated in the Fifth Supplemental Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Securities are referred to the Original Indenture, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The Securities of this series are general unsecured obligations of the Company limited to an initial aggregate principal amount of $300 million; provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of such series may be increased from time to time as provided in the Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

5.	Optional Redemption.

The Securities are redeemable, at the option of the Partnership, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price (the “Make-Whole Price”) equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (at the rate in effect on the date of calculation of the redemption price) on the Securities (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points; plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.

A-5

The actual Make-Whole Price, calculated as provided above, shall be calculated and certified to the Trustee and the Partnership by the Independent Investment Banker. For purposes of determining the Make-Whole Price, the following definitions are applicable:

“Treasury Rate” means the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means with respect to any Redemption Date (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means either of Barclays Capital Inc. or Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as specified by the Partnership, and any successor firm or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Partnership.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and three other primary U.S. government securities dealers (each a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), as specified by the Partnership; provided, that (1) if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Partnership will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) if the Partnership fails to select a substitute within a reasonable period of time, then the substitute will be a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Independent Investment Banker.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed, in each case, as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.

Except as set forth above, the Securities will not be redeemable prior to their Stated Maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

Securities called for optional redemption become due on the Redemption Date. Notices of optional redemption will be mailed at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the

A-6

Redemption Date to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of optional redemption for the Securities will state, among other things, the amount of Securities to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the method of calculating such redemption price and the place(s) that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of Securities to be redeemed. Unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date with respect to any Securities that have been called for optional redemption. If less than all the Securities are redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select the Securities to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided, however, that if at the time of redemption such Securities are represented by a Global Security, the Depositary shall determine, in accordance with its procedures, the principal amount of such Securities held by each beneficial owner to be redeemed.

The Securities may be redeemed in part in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any such redemption will also comply with Article III of the Indenture.

6.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

The Securities are to be issued in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer of, or exchange, Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.

7.	Person Deemed Owners.

The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

8.	Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture may be amended or supplemented, and any existing Event of Default or compliance with any provision may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected. Without consent of any Holder of a Security, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture to, among other things, cure any ambiguity or omission, to correct any defect or inconsistency, or to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Security. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Security and any Securities which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Security or such other Securities.

9.	Defaults and Remedies.

Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default that will result in the principal amount of the Securities, together with premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, becoming due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of

A-7

Default. If any other Event of Default with respect to the Securities occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding may declare the principal amount of all the Securities, together with premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, if at any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Trustee, may rescind such declaration and annul its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court already rendered and if all Events of Default with respect to the Securities, other than the nonpayment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest which has become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or shall have been waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require reasonable indemnity or security before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

10.	Trustee Dealings with Partnership.

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Partnership or its Affiliates or any subsidiary of the Partnership’s Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

11.	Authentication.

This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

12.	Abbreviations and Defined Terms.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Security or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (tenant in common), TEN ENT (tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (Custodian), and U/G/M/A (Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

13.	CUSIP Numbers.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Note Identification Procedures, the Partnership has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such number as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

A-8

14.	Absolute Obligation.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Partnership, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

15.	No Recourse.

The General Partner and its directors, officers, employees and members, as such, shall have no liability for any obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Guarantor or the Partnership under the Securities, the Indenture or any Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting the Securities waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

16.	Governing Law.

This Security shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

17.	Guarantee.

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Partnership has duly authorized and desires to issue pursuant to the Original Indenture, as supplemented and amended by this Sixth Supplemental Indenture (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), a new series of Debt Securities designated the “6.100% Senior Notes due 2042” (the “Notes”), all of such Notes to be guaranteed by the Guarantor as provided in Article XIV of the Original Indenture;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Original Indenture, the Partnership and the Guarantor have requested that the Trustee join in the execution of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture to establish the form and terms of the Notes;

WHEREAS, all things necessary have been done to make the Notes, when executed by the Partnership and authenticated and delivered under the Indenture and duly issued by the Partnership, and the Guarantee of the Guarantor, when the Notes are duly issued by the Partnership, the valid obligations of the Partnership and the Guarantor, respectively, and to make this Sixth Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Partnership and the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Partnership, the Guarantor and the Trustee hereby agree that the following provisions shall supplement the Original Indenture:

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture and to the extent applicable, the Partnership, the Guarantor and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

The Partnership initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Book-Entry Notes.

SECTION 1.2

Title, Amount and Payment of Principal and Interest.

The Notes shall be entitled the “6.100% Senior Notes due 2042.” The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (i) Notes for original issue on the date hereof (the “Original Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $300 million and (ii) additional Notes for original issue from time to time after the date hereof in such principal amounts as may be specified in the Partnership Order described in this sentence, provided that no such additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Notes to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in each case upon a Partnership Order for the authentication and delivery thereof and satisfaction of the other provisions of Section 2.05 of the Original Indenture. Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, and the name or names of the initial Holder or Holders. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be outstanding at any time may not exceed $300 million plus such additional principal amounts as may be issued and authenticated pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph (except as provided in Section 2.09 of the Original Indenture). Any such additional Notes issued in this manner will be consolidated with, and will form a single series with, the Original Notes.

The principal amount of each Note shall be payable on February 15, 2042. Each Note shall bear interest from the date of original issuance, or the most recent date to which interest has

been paid, at the fixed rate of 6.100% per annum.

We have participated in the preparation of a Prospectus Supplement dated July 28, 2011 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and the Prospectus dated February 1, 2010 (the “Prospectus”) forming part of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-155644) (the “Registration Statement”), as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto. The Prospectus Supplement has been filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) promulgated under the Securities Act.

We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus; (ii) the Certificate of Limited Partnership and Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, dated as of January 26, 2010, each as amended to the date hereof; (iii) the Certificate of Limited Partnership and First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, dated as of February 8, 2002; (iv) the Underwriting Agreement, dated July 28, 2011, relating to the offer and sale of the Securities (the “Underwriting Agreement”); (v) resolutions adopted by the sole director and the pricing committee of Sunoco Logistics Partners GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; (vi) resolutions adopted by the board of directors of Sunoco Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; (vii) the Senior Indenture, dated as of December 16, 2005, between the Operating Partnership, the Partnership, Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“Sunoco M&T”), Sunoco Pipeline L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“Sunoco Pipeline”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor

Trustee (the “Indenture”); (viii) the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 2, 2011, among the Operating Partnership, the Partnership and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor Trustee (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”); (ix) the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 2, 2011, among the Operating Partnership, the Partnership and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor Trustee (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture”); and (x) such other certificates, statutes and other instruments and documents as we considered appropriate for purposes of the opinions hereafter expressed.

As to any facts material to the opinions contained herein, we have made no independent investigation of such facts and have relied, to the extent that we deem such reliance proper, upon certificates of public officials and officers or other representatives of the Operating Partnership.

In connection with rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed that (i) all information contained in all documents reviewed by us is true and correct; (ii) all signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine; (iii) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and all documents submitted to us as copies conform to the originals of those documents; (iv) each natural person signing any document reviewed by us had the legal capacity to do so; (v) each person signing in a representative capacity (other than on behalf of the Operating Partnership, the Partnership, Sunoco M&T or Sunoco Pipeline) any document reviewed by us had authority to sign in such capacity; (vi) all Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Prospectus and the Registration Statement; and (vii) the Indenture, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture each were duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto in substantially the form reviewed by us or with changes that do not affect the opinions given hereunder.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Securities have been duly authorized, executed and issued by the Operating Partnership and, assuming that the Securities have been duly authenticated by U.S. Bank National Association, as successor trustee under the Indenture, constitute valid and binding obligations of the Operating Partnership and the Partnership enforceable against the Operating Partnership and the Partnership in accordance with their terms and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture and Sixth Supplemental Indenture.

The foregoing opinion is qualified to the extent that the enforceability of any document, instrument or security may be limited by or subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer or conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and general equitable or public policy principles.

The foregoing opinions are limited in all respects to the laws of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and the reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws) and the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America, and we do not express any opinions as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.
