Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Transaction Agreement

On June 15, 2012, Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (“ETE”), ETE Sigma Holdco, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ETE (“ETE Sigma”), and ETE Holdco Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ETE Sigma (“ETE Holdco”), entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”), Energy Transfer Partners GP, L.P., the general partner of ETP (“ETP GP”), and Heritage Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ETP (“HHI”).

As previously announced, on April 29, 2012, Sunoco, Inc. (“Sunoco”), ETP, ETP GP, Sam Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ETP (“Merger Sub”), and, for certain limited purposes set forth therein, ETE, entered into an Agreement of Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Sunoco (the “Merger”), with Sunoco continuing as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of ETP. The Transaction Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement and through a series of transactions prior to and immediately following the Merger, (i) ETP will contribute all of the outstanding equity interests in Sunoco to ETP Holdco Corporation (“ETP Holdco”), a newly formed subsidiary of ETP, and (ii) ETE Sigma will contribute all of the outstanding equity interests in ETE Holdco, which is the sole stockholder of Southern Union Company (“Southern Union”), to ETP Holdco, in exchange for a 60% equity interest in ETP Holdco (together, the “Holdco Contributions”). ETP will retain a 40% equity interest in ETP Holdco and control the entity through a Stockholders Agreement as described below.

Prior to ETP’s contribution of Sunoco to ETP Holdco, Sunoco will contribute its interests in Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (“SXL”), including its ownership of SXL’s general partner, Sunoco Partners LLC (“SXL GP”), to ETP in exchange for 50,706,000 Class F Units representing limited partner interests in ETP (“Class F Units”) plus an additional number of Class F Units determined based upon the amount of cash contributed to ETP by Sunoco at the closing of the Merger, as calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the “SXL GP Contribution Transactions”). SXL GP owns approximately 32.4% of the outstanding limited partner interest, all of the outstanding incentive distribution rights and the general partner interest in SXL. The Class F Units will have an issue price of $50 per Class F Unit and will be entitled to 35% of the quarterly cash distributions generated by ETP and its subsidiaries other than ETP Holdco, subject to a maximum cash distribution of $3.75 per Class F Unit per year.

In addition to its interests in SXL, Sunoco has a network of approximately 4,900 retail locations in 23 states. Southern Union owns and operates assets in the regulated and unregulated natural gas industry and is primarily engaged in the gathering, treating, processing, transportation, storage and distribution of natural gas in the United States.

The Holdco Contributions are subject to the closing of the Merger, as well as other customary closing conditions. Completion of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, approval by Sunoco shareholders and receipt of required regulatory approvals. The Transaction Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, interim covenants and indemnification provisions.

Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, ETE Sigma and ETP have also agreed to enter into a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) upon the closing of the Holdco Contributions, which will provide that ETP will appoint three of the five members of ETP Holdco’s board of directors, while ETE Sigma will appoint the remaining two members. Each of ETE Sigma and ETP will have consent rights to certain significant actions by ETP Holdco. The Stockholders Agreement will also contain customary governance provisions and transfer restrictions (including drag-along rights and tag-along rights that are triggered in certain circumstances).

Sunoco Merger Agreement Amendment

In connection with entering into the Transaction Agreement, on June 15, 2012, ETE, ETP, ETP GP and Merger Sub also entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement (“Merger Agreement Amendment”) with Sunoco. The Merger Agreement Amendment provides for the SXL GP Contribution Transactions to occur prior to the Merger on the terms described above.

The special committee of the board of directors of LE GP, LLC, the general partner of ETE (“LE GP”), the conflicts committee of the board of directors of LE GP, and the board of directors of LE GP have each approved the Transaction Agreement and the Merger Agreement Amendment. RBS Securities Inc. acted as financial advisor to each of the committees of the board of directors of LE GP and issued a fairness opinion in connection with the transaction.

ETE owns all of the outstanding equity interests in ETP GP, as well as approximately 52.4 million common units representing limited partner interests in ETP and all of the outstanding incentive distribution rights in ETP.

The foregoing summary of the Transaction Agreement and the Merger Agreement Amendment and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and the Merger Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Transaction Agreement and the Merger Agreement Amendment, which are filed as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 2.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. For additional information about the Merger and the Merger Agreement, please see ETP’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 1, 2012 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Transaction Agreement, the Merger Agreement Amendment and the above description have been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of the Transaction Agreement and the Merger Agreement Amendment. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about ETE, ETP, Sunoco, Southern Union or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or equityholders. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Transaction Agreement and the Merger Agreement Amendment were made only for purposes of those agreements and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Transaction Agreement or Merger Agreement Amendment, as applicable; and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made by each contracting party to the other for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between them that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should be aware that the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof may not reflect the actual state of facts or condition of ETE, ETP, Sunoco, Southern Union, Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, businesses, or equityholders. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Transaction Agreement or Merger Agreement Amendment, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by ETE, ETP, Southern Union or Sunoco. Accordingly, investors should read the representations and warranties in the Transaction Agreement or the Merger Agreement Amendment not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about ETE, ETP, or Sunoco and their respective subsidiaries that the respective companies include in reports, statements and other filings they make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

(E) Calculation of Losses. In calculating amounts payable to any ETP Indemnitee or ETE Indemnitee (each such Person, an “Indemnified Party”) for a claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be determined without duplication of any other Loss for which an indemnification claim has been made or could be made under any other representation, warranty, covenant or agreement and shall be computed net of (i) payments actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses, net of any associated costs of expenses of recovery, and (ii) any prior or subsequent actual recovery by the Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses.

(F) Waiver of Certain Damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall any Party be liable to any other Party for punitive, remote, speculative or lost profits damages of any kind or nature, regardless of the form of action through which such damages are sought, except (i) for any such damages recovered by any third party against an Indemnified Party in respect of which such Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the terms hereof and (ii) in the case of consequential damages, (x) to the extent an Indemnified Party is required to pay consequential damages to an unrelated third party and (y) to the extent of consequential damages to an Indemnified Party arising from fraud or willful conduct.

(G) Sole and Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Subsequent Closing Date, except for assertions of any claim based on fraud or willful misconduct, the remedies provided in this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive legal remedies of the Parties with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(A) Each Indemnified Party agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim by it for indemnification pursuant to this Article 8, such Indemnified Party must assert its claim for indemnification under this Article 8 (each, a “Claim”) by providing written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party allegedly required to provide indemnification protection under this Article 8 specifying, in reasonable detail, the nature and basis for such Claim (e.g., the underlying representation, warranty, covenant or agreement alleged to have been breached) and the amount (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Claim is known or reasonably ascertainable at such time; provided, however, that such amount or estimated amount shall not be conclusive of the final amount, if any, of such Claim). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party’s failure to send or delay in sending a Claim Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder with respect to such Claim except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure or delay.

(B) In the event of the assertion of any Claim for which, by the terms hereof, an Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will have the right, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, to assume the defense of same including the appointment and selection of counsel on behalf of the Indemnified Party so long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such Claim, it shall within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the Claim Notice, notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intent to do so. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to settle or compromise or take any corrective or remediation action with respect to any such Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will be entitled, at its own cost, to participate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of

any such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Claim but fails to diligently prosecute such Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume control of such defense and in the event it is determined pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article 9 that the Claim was a matter for which the Indemnifying Party is required to provide indemnification under the terms of this Article 8, the Indemnifying Party will bear the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party may not assume the defense of the Claim (but will be entitled at its own cost to participate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Claim) if the potential Losses under the Claim could reasonably and in good faith be expected to exceed, in the aggregate when combined with all claims previously made by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party under this Article 8, the maximum amount for which the Indemnifying Party may be liable pursuant to Section 8.3(C); provided, however, that to the extent the Parties are not in agreement with respect to the calculation of potential Losses the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of the Claim in accordance herewith until the Parties have agreed or a final non-appealable judgment has been entered into, with respect to the determination of the potential Losses.

(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will not be permitted to settle, compromise, take any corrective or remedial action or enter into an agreed judgment or consent decree, in each case, that subjects the Indemnified Party to any injunctive or other non-monetary relief or any criminal liability, requires an admission of guilt or wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party or imposes any continuing obligation on or requires any payment from the Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent.

8.5 No Reliance.

THE REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ETE PARTIES CONTAINED IN ARTICLE 4 CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ETE PARTIES TO THE ETP PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT). EXCEPT FOR SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, PROJECTION, FORECAST, STATEMENT OR INFORMATION MADE, COMMUNICATED OR FURNISHED (ORALLY OR IN WRITING) TO ANY OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES (INCLUDING OPINION, INFORMATION, PROJECTION OR ADVICE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN OR MAY BE PROVIDED TO ANY PARTY OR ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, AGENT OR REPRESENTATIVE OF SUCH PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES).

(B) Except as provided in Sections 7.2, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3(F), no Party nor any Affiliate of a Party shall assert or threaten, and each Party hereby waives and shall cause such Affiliates to waive, any claim or other method of recovery, in contract, in tort or under applicable Law, against any Person that is not a Party (or a successor to a Party) relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

If (a) any payment of interest or principal herein provided for is not paid when due, (b) Borrower shall commence a proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect or any successor thereto, or any other proceeding under any reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction whether now or hereafter in effect relating to Borrower, (c) there is commenced against Borrower any such bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding that remains undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days, (d) Borrower is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt, or any order of relief or other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered, (e) Borrower suffers any appointment of any custodian, private or court appointed receiver or the like for it or any substantial part of its property which continues undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days, (f) Borrower makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (g) Borrower shall fail to pay, or shall state that it is unable to pay, or shall be unable to pay, its debts generally as they become due, (h) Borrower shall call a meeting of its creditors with a view to arranging a composition, adjustment or restructuring of its debts, (i) Borrower shall by any act or failure to act expressly indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any of the foregoing, or (j) any action is taken by Borrower for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing, then immediately and without expiration of any grace period, other than with respect to clause (a) above which shall be at the Lender’s option, (i) the unpaid, principal balance of this Note, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Note shall become and be forthwith due and payable in full, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of actual acceleration or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower and (ii) the Lender shall be entitled to enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law.

If any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday on which the Lender is not open for business, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

In addition to all principal and accrued interest on this Note, the Borrower agrees to pay (a) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in collecting this Note through any probate, reorganization bankruptcy or any other proceeding and (b) reasonable attorneys’ fees when and if this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection after default.

The loan evidenced by this Note is not for personal, family or household purposes. This Note is intended to represent indebtedness for borrowed money which is non-recourse to persons other than the Borrower. Lender agrees that liability for any claim based on or in respect of this Note shall be enforced only against Borrower and shall not be enforced against any partner, equityholder or affiliate of the Borrower or any of their respective heirs, successors or assigns. No partner, equityholder or affiliate of the Borrower or any of their respective heirs, successors or assigns shall be liable for the repayment to the Lender of the principal amount this Note or any interest accruing thereon.

B-2

All agreements between the Borrower and the Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand being made on this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money to be loaned under and evidenced by this Note or otherwise or for the payment or performance of any obligation contained in this Note be subject to a rate of interest exceeding the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If as a result of any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable usury law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance, the Lender shall ever receive interest or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law which would exceed the amount permissible hereunder, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of this Note or the amounts owing on other obligations of the Borrower to the Lender under this Note and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of this Note and the amounts owing on other obligations of the Borrower to the Lender under this Note, as the case may be, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the applicable usury ceiling. In the event applicable law provides for an interest ceiling under Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, that ceiling shall be the weekly ceiling and shall be used when appropriate in determining the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged.

The Borrower and any and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties severally waive grace, demand, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor or default, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and bringing of suit and diligence in collecting this Note, and agree to all renewals, extensions or partial payments hereon and to any release or substitution of security hereof, in whole or in part, with or without notice, before or after maturity.

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Note, or provided by law and no course of dealing between any such person or entity and the Borrower, shall imply or otherwise operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Note preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this Note are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

This Note and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and executors, administrators and heirs; provided that, neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by the Borrower without the prior written consent of the Lender.

B-3

This Note may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single agreement. THIS NOTE CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE CONTRACT AMONG THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDES ANY AND ALL PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Note by telecopy or other electronic transmission (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Note.

WHENEVER POSSIBLE, EACH PROVISION OF THIS NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH MANNER AS TO BE EFFECTIVE AND VALID UNDER SUCH APPLICABLE LAW, HOWEVER, ANY PROVISION OF THIS NOTE HELD TO BE INVALID, ILLEGAL OR UNENFORCEABLE IN ANY JURISDICTION SHALL, AS TO SUCH JURISDICTION, BE INEFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH INVALIDITY, ILLEGALITY OR UNENFORCEABILITY WITHOUT AFFECTING THE VALIDITY, LEGALITY AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THE REMAINING PROVISIONS HEREOF; AND THE INVALIDITY OF A PARTICULAR PROVISION IN A PARTICULAR JURISDICTION SHALL NOT INVALIDATE SUCH PROVISION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW.

Modifications and waivers of this note may be made solely with the approval in writing of each of the Borrower and the Lender.

ARTICLE II.

CERTAIN AGREEMENTS

Section 2.01. Restrictions on Transfers; Compliance with Securities Laws.

(a) Generally. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Party shall Transfer (or grant a Lien on) any Common Shares or interests therein without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Transfer (or grant of a Lien) is made in accordance with applicable terms of this Agreement. Any purported Transfer of (or grant of a Lien on) any portion of a Party’s Common Shares in breach of the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall not recognize any such prohibited Transfer (or grant of a Lien). The Parties acknowledge and agree that a breach of any of the terms of this Section 2.01 by a Party will likely cause irreparable injury to the Company and to the other Party for which monetary damages and other remedies at law are inadequate in view of (a) the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damages that would be sustained by reason of the failure of such Party to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.01 and (b) the uniqueness of the Company and the relationship among the Parties. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Article II may be enforced by specific performance.

E-6

(b) Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.01, each Party shall have the right, without the consent of the other Party, to (i) Transfer all (but not less than all) of its Common Shares to a Subsidiary of such Party’s Ultimate Parent (and upon any such Transfer, such Subsidiary shall immediately become a Party hereto), (ii) make a bona fide pledge of its Common Shares under a credit facility with third party financial institutions or (iii) Transfer all or any portion of its Common Shares in compliance with Sections 2.01(d), 2.01(e) and/or 2.01(f) hereto.

(c) Bankruptcy Event; Change of Control. If (i) a Bankruptcy Event occurs with respect to a Party or (ii) a Party undergoes a Change of Control, such Party (the “Triggering Party”) shall provide written notice of such Bankruptcy Event or Change of Control to the other Party (the “Option Party”) within one day of such occurrence, and the Option Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all of the Triggering Party’s Common Shares, such right to be exercised within thirty (30) days after the Option Party’s receipt of such written notice. The purchase price to be paid by the Option Party shall be the fair market value of the Triggering Party’s Common Shares as determined by agreement between the Parties. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a purchase price, such purchase price will be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 2.08.

(d) Right of First Refusal.

(i) If a Party (such Party, a “Selling Party”) receives a bona fide offer from a third party for a Transfer of all or a portion of the Selling Party’s Common Shares (the “Subject Interest”), and the Selling Party wishes to accept such offer, the Selling Party must notify the other Party (the “Non-Selling Party”) in writing within twenty (20) days after receiving such offer (the “Sale Notice”). The Sale Notice must include a complete description of the purchase price and other terms and conditions of the transaction in which the Selling Party proposes to Transfer the Subject Interest, including the name of the proposed Transferee and other consideration specified in the offer. The Non-Selling Party shall have twenty (20) days (the “ROFR Option Period”) after receiving the Sale Notice in which to advise the Selling Party in writing (the “ROFR Acceptance Notice”) whether or not it will acquire all of the Subject Interest upon the terms and conditions contained in the Sale Notice. A failure to advise the Selling Party in writing before the expiration of the ROFR Option Period as to whether or not it will acquire all of the Subject Interest pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be deemed to constitute an election not to acquire the Subject Interest.

(ii) If, during the ROFR Option Period, the Non-Selling Party elects to acquire the Subject Interest at the price and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice (upon such election, the “ROFR Accepting Party”), then such ROFR Accepting Party shall close such transaction no later than the later to occur of (A) the closing date set forth in the Sale Notice and (B) ninety (90) days after the Selling Party receives the ROFR Acceptance Notice.

E-7

(iii) The right of first refusal created in this Section 2.01(d) is an option to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Subject Interest offered for sale by the Selling Party. If the Non-Selling Party elects not to acquire the Subject Interest or the Non-Selling Party fails to make an election before the expiration of the ROFR Option Period, and the Selling Party has complied with Section 2.01(e), the Selling Party may Transfer the Subject Interest to the proposed Transferee named in the Sale Notice upon the terms described in the Sale Notice. If such Transfer does not occur on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice, or if such Transfer is not consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Non-Selling Party’s election not to acquire the Subject Interest, then such Transfer shall be null and void ab initio and the Selling Party must again satisfy all of the requirements of this Section 2.01(d).

(iv) Upon consummation of any Transfer of Common Shares in accordance with this Section 2.01(d) (whether to a Party or any other Person), such Transferee and all of its Common Shares shall automatically become a Party to and be bound by this Agreement and shall thereafter have all of the rights and obligations of a Party hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Transfers pursuant to this Section 2.01(d) must comply with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Tag-Along Right.

(i) If (a) a Selling Party has complied with Section 2.01(d), (b) the Non-Selling Party has elected not to acquire the Subject Interest or has failed to make an election before the expiration of the ROFR Offer Period, (c) such Selling Party is proceeding with the Transfer of the Subject Interest pursuant to Section 2.01(d)(iii) and (d) the Subject Interest which the Selling Party proposes to Transfer represents more than twenty percent (20%) of the Selling Party’s Common Shares, then such Selling Party shall make an offer (a “Tag-Along Offer”) to the Non-Selling Party to include in the proposed Transfer (the “Tag-Along Transfer”), on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice, all or a portion (as the case may be) of the Non-Selling Party’s Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.01(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 2.01(e) shall not apply to any Transfer that the Selling Party has properly elected to treat as a Drag-Along Transfer subject to Section 2.01(f).

(ii) Each of the Selling Party and the Non-Selling Party shall have the right to Transfer in a Tag-Along Transfer a Percentage Interest equal to the product of (a) the total Percentage Interest of the Selling Party or Non-Selling Party (as the case may be) (expressed as a decimal) multiplied by (b) the Subject Interest the proposed Transferee proposes to buy as stated in the Sale Notice (expressed as a decimal).

(iii) The Tag-Along Offer may be accepted by the Non-Selling Party at any time within twenty (20) days after the Non-Selling Party’s receipt of the Tag-Along Offer, which acceptance must be made by delivery of a written notice indicating such acceptance to the Selling Party (a “Tag-Along Acceptance Notice”).

E-8

(iv) The Selling Party may elect in its discretion to terminate the proposed sale of any of its Common Shares in the Tag-Along Transfer (and shall not otherwise be deemed to owe any duty or responsibility to the Non-Selling Party to proceed), in which case, the obligations under this Section 2.01(e) in respect of such Tag-Along Transfer shall cease.

(v) If for any reason the Selling Party elects to terminate or otherwise not to sell any of the Subject Interest in the Tag-Along Transfer or such Tag-Along Transfer should fail to close, the Selling Party must comply with the provisions set forth in Sections 2.01(d) and 2.01(e), to the extent applicable, prior to making any subsequent Transfer of all or any portion of its Common Shares.

(f) Drag-Along Right.

(i) If (a) a Selling Party has complied with Sections 2.01(d), (b) the Non-Selling Party has elected not to acquire the Subject Interest or has failed to make an election before the expiration of the ROFR Offer Period (c) such Selling Party is proceeding with the Transfer of the Subject Interest pursuant to Section 2.01(d)(iii) and (d) the Subject Interest which the Selling Party proposes to Transfer represents more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding Common Shares, then the Selling Party may require the Non-Selling Party to sell in such Transfer (a “Drag-Along Transfer”), on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice, the same proportion of its Common Shares as is proposed to be sold by the Selling Party in lieu of the Tag-Along Right pursuant to Section 2.01(e).

(ii) The Selling Party shall give the Non-Selling Party written notice at least twenty five (25) days prior to the anticipated closing date of the Drag-Along Transfer (a “Drag-Along Notice”). Upon delivery of the Drag-Along Notice, the Non-Selling Party shall be required to sell to the Transferee the same proportion of its Common Shares as the Selling Party actually sells pursuant to the Drag-Along Transfer.

(iii) The Selling Party may elect in its discretion to terminate or otherwise not to sell any of its Common Shares in the Drag-Along Transfer (and shall not otherwise be deemed to owe any duty or responsibility to the Non-Selling Party to proceed), in which case, the obligations under this Section 2.01(f) in respect of such Drag-Along Transfer shall cease.

(iv) If for any reason the Selling Party elects to terminate or otherwise not to sell any of its Common Shares in the Drag-Along Transfer, or such Transfer would no longer qualify as a Drag-Along Transfer, or such Drag-Along Transfer should fail to close, the Selling Party must comply with the provisions set forth in Sections 2.01(d) and 2.01(e), to the extent applicable, prior to making any subsequent Transfer of all or any portion of its Common Shares.

(g) Asset Right of First Refusal.

(i) If the Company receives (a) a bona fide written offer from a third party for a purchase of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or properties (the “Subject

E-9

Assets”) which includes a complete description of the purchase price and other terms and conditions of the transaction in which the Subject Assets would be sold, including the name of the third party purchaser and the other consideration specified in such offer (a “Subject Assets Bona Fide Offer”), (b) the Company Board (including the approval of at least one ETE Sigma Designee and one ETP Designee) determines that the Company would be willing to sell such Subject Assets at the price and on the other terms set forth in such Subject Assets Bona Fide Offer, (c) if required pursuant to Section 2.04, the written consent of each of ETP and ETE Sigma has been obtained to sell such Subject Assets at the price and on the terms set forth in the Subject Assets Bona Fide Offer and (d) either Party wishes to purchase such Subject Assets at the price and on the other terms set forth in such Subject Assets Bona Fide Offer, such Party (the “Potential Purchasing Party”) must notify the other Party in writing within ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of such Subject Assets Bona Fide Offer (the “Asset Purchase Notice”). The Potential Purchasing Party shall have ten (10) days (the “Asset ROFR Option Period”‘) after delivering the Asset Purchase Notice in which to advise the other Party in writing (the “Asset ROFR Exercise Notice”) whether or not it will acquire all of the Subject Assets on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Subject Assets Bona Fide Offer. A failure to deliver the Asset ROFR Exercise Notice as provided in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to constitute an election not to acquire the Subject Assets.

(ii) If, during the Asset ROFR Option Period, the Potential Purchasing Party delivers the Asset ROFR Exercise Notice, then the Potential Purchasing Party shall close such transaction no later than the later to occur of (A) the closing date set forth in the Subject Assets Bona Fide Offer and (B) ninety (90) days after the delivery of the Asset ROFR Exercise Notice.

(iii) The right of first refusal created in this Section 2.01(g) is an option to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Subject Assets offered to be purchased by the third party. If the Potential Purchasing Party elects not to acquire the Subject Assets or the Potential Purchasing Party fails to make an election before the expiration of the Asset ROFR Option Period, and the sale of the assets has received approval of the Company Board (including the approval of at least one ETE Sigma Designee and one ETP Designee) and the approval of each of ETE Sigma and ETP pursuant to Section 2.04(g) (if required), the Company may sell the Subject Assets to the proposed purchaser named in the Subject Assets Bona Fide Offer upon the terms described therein. If such sale does not occur on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Subject Assets Bona Fide Offer, or if such sale is not consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Potential Purchasing Party’s election not to acquire the Subject Assets, then such sale shall be null and void ab initio and the Company must again satisfy all of the requirements of this Section 2.01(g).

Section 2.02. Management of the Company.

(a) Board of Directors.

(i) The Company shall establish a Board of Directors (the “Company Board”) which shall consist of not more than five members. The Company Board shall

E-10

consist of (a) two Persons designated by ETE Sigma (the “ETE Sigma Designees”) and (b) three Persons designated by ETP (the “ETP Designees” and, together with the ETE Sigma Designees, the “Designees”). The Company Board shall, by a majority vote of all directors, have the power and authority to take all actions it deems necessary for the management and conduct of the business of the Company, except as described in Sections 2.04 and 2.06.

(ii) The Company shall cause the Designees to be nominated for election at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02.

(iii) Each Party shall vote all Common Shares held by it for the election to the Company Board of all Designees nominated in accordance with this Section 2.02. Any Designee appointed or elected to the Company Board may be removed by the Party that originally designated such Designee, except that any such Designee may also be removed for cause in accordance with applicable Law or the Company’s Certificate and bylaws. If a Designee (or any successor Designee appointed pursuant to this Section 2.02) ceases for any reason to serve as a director of the Company after having been duly appointed or elected, then, the Party that designated such Designee shall have the right to designate a replacement for such Designee to hold office for the remaining unexpired term of such Designee.

(iv) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company Board to convene meetings at least once every three months. Upon any failure by the Company to convene a meeting at least once every three months, a Director nominated under this Section 2.02 shall be empowered to cause the Company to convene such meeting.

(v) The Company shall reimburse each Director who is not an employee of the Company for his or her reasonable out of pocket expenses including travel incurred in connection with the attendance of meetings of the Company Board or any committee thereof.

(b) The Company Board may appoint officers of the Company (the “Officers”), having title, power, authority and duties described in this Section 2.02 or as otherwise granted by the Company Board.

(i) Term; Removal; Resignation; Vacancies; Compensation. Each Officer will hold office until such Officer’s resignation, removal or death. Any Officer of the Company is subject to removal, with or without cause, by the Company Board. Any vacancy in the position of an Officer of the Company resulting from a removal, resignation or other event may be filled by Company Board. The removal of an Officer is without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person removed. Designation of an Officer does not, in and of itself, create contract rights. The compensation, if any, to be paid to the Officers of the Company will be determined by Company Board.

E-11

(ii) Authority. The authority of any Officers of the Company shall be restricted to the carrying on of day-to-day business and affairs of the Company, which will include the general and administrative affairs of the Company and the operation and maintenance of the Company’s assets, all in accordance with this Section 2.02(b), and any such authority will be subject to the supervisory control of the Company Board. Unless the Company Board shall determine otherwise, the title assigned to an Officer shall constitute the delegation to such officer of the authority and duties set forth in this Section 2.02(b) and that are normally associated with that title.

(iii) Titles and Number. The Officers may include a Chief Executive Officer, a Chief Operating Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, one or more Vice Presidents, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and one or more Assistant Secretaries and Assistant Treasurers, and any other officer position or title as the Company Board may approve.

(v) Chief Financial Officer. The Chief Financial Officer shall keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, adequate and correct books and records of account of the Company.

He shall render to the Company Board and the Chief Executive Officer, whenever any of them request it, an account of all his transactions as Chief Financial Officer and of the financial condition of the Company, and shall perform such further duties as the Company Board or the Chief Executive Officer may require. The Chief Financial Officer shall have (A) the same power as the Chief Executive Officer to execute documents on behalf of the Company and (B) the power and authority to delegate the Chief Financial Officer’s powers and authority to any proper officer.

(vi) Chief Operating Officer. If appointed, the Chief Operating Officer shall be responsible for the management of the business operations of the Company. The Chief Operating Officer shall perform such other duties and may exercise such other powers as may from time to time by assigned to him by the Chief Executive Officer.

The Assistant Treasurers shall exercise the power of the Treasurer during that officer’s absence or inability or refusal to act. Each of the Assistant Treasurers shall possess the

E-12

same power as the Treasurer to sign all certificates, contracts, obligations and other instruments of the Company. If no Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer is appointed and serving or in the absence of the appointed Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer, any Vice President, or such other officer as the Company Board shall select, shall have the powers and duties conferred upon the Treasurer.

(viii) Vice Presidents. In the absence of the Chief Executive Officer, each Vice President appointed by the Company Board shall have all of the powers and duties conferred upon the Chief Executive Officer, including the same power as the Chief Executive Officer to execute documents on behalf of the Company. Each such Vice President shall perform such other duties and may exercise such other powers as may from time to time be assigned to him by the Company Board. Vice Presidents may be designated Executive Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents, or any other title determined by the Company Board.

(ix) Secretary and Assistant Secretaries. The Secretary shall record or cause to be recorded in books provided for that purpose the minutes of the meetings or actions of the Company Board, shall see that all notices are duly given in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and as required by Law, shall be custodian of all records (other than financial), shall see that the books, reports, statements, certificates and all other documents and records required by Law are properly kept and filed, and, in general, shall perform all duties incident to the office of Secretary and such other duties as may, from time to time, be assigned to him by the Company Board or the Chief Executive Officer. The Assistant Secretaries shall exercise the powers of the Secretary during that officer’s absence or inability or refusal to act.

(x) Powers of Attorney. The Company may grant powers of attorney or other authority as appropriate to establish and evidence the authority of the officers and other persons.

(xi) Delegation of Authority. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or by the Company Board, no officer shall have the power or authority to delegate to any person such officer’s rights and powers as an officer to manage the business and affairs of the Company.

If (a) the Company Board is unable to reach agreement regarding any action requiring approval by at least one ETE Sigma Designee and one ETP Designee or (ii) the Parties are unable to agree on a Major Decision (each, a “Business Dispute”), then the Directors or the Parties, as the case may be, will consult and negotiate with each other in good faith to find a solution. If the Directors or the Parties, as the case may be, do not reach such a solution within thirty (30) days from the date the disagreement occurred, then either Party may give written notice to the other Party that the failure to approve such action will, in such Party’s judgment, adversely affect the Company (a “Dispute Notice”). Within five Business Days after the delivery of the Dispute Notice, either Party may submit such Business Dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section 2.08.

With respect to each Arbitrable Dispute submitted to it, the Arbitrator shall render its decision in writing within fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of the hearing with respect to such Arbitrable Dispute (which shall be fixed by the Arbitrator at a reasonable time and place). The Arbitrator shall have jurisdiction and authority to interpret and apply the provisions of this Agreement only insofar as shall be necessary in the determination of the Arbitrable Dispute before it, but shall not have jurisdiction or authority to add to or alter in any way the provisions of this Agreement. The Arbitrator shall act as a limited expert for the specific purpose of determining the Arbitrable Dispute in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 2.08, and the Arbitrator may not award Damages, interest or penalties to either Party with respect to any Arbitrable Dispute.

E-16

jurisdiction. The responsibility for paying the costs and expenses of the arbitration, including compensation to the Arbitrator, shall be allocated equally among the Parties and each Party shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of its respective counsel, consultants and witnesses. Any decision of the Arbitrator will be implemented by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement.

Continuing Liability for Assumed Company Debt. The Company shall continue to be liable for any public indebtedness assumed by the Partnership as a result of the contribution of assets to the Partnership by the Company or its subsidiaries in exchange for Class F Units.

Section 2. Except as hereby amended, the Partnership Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
