At Closing, SXL GP shall cause the SXL Class I Units to be issued to the Persons who held Class I Units immediately prior to the Effective Time in book-entry form.

(vi) Conversion of Class J Units. Subject to Section 2.4, each Class J Unit (as defined herein) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into a unit representing a limited partner interest in SXL (an “SXL Class J Unit”), which constitutes a share of a new class of units in SXL containing provisions substantially equivalent to the provisions set forth in Section 5.15 of the ETP Partnership Agreement, all as set forth in the Amended SXL Partnership Agreement. At Closing, SXL GP shall cause the SXL Class J Units to be issued to the Persons who held Class J Units immediately prior to the Effective Time in book-entry form.

Subject to Section 2.4, each Class K Unit (as defined herein) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into a unit representing a limited partner interest in SXL (an “SXL Class K Unit”), which constitutes a share of a new class of units in SXL containing provisions substantially equivalent to the provisions set forth in a form of amendment to the ETP Partnership Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B, all as set forth in the Amended SXL Partnership Agreement. At Closing, SXL GP shall cause the SXL Class K Units to be issued to the Persons who held Class K Units immediately prior to the Effective Time in book-entry form.

(d) SXL Securities.

(i) Any SXL Securities that are owned immediately prior to the Effective Time by ETP or any Subsidiary of ETP shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange for such canceled SXL Securities; provided, however, that the SXL Incentive Distribution Rights and the SXL GP Interest that had been issued and are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be unchanged and remain outstanding.

(ii) By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of SXL, the limited liability company interests in SXL Merger Sub that had been issued and are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall convert into, in the aggregate, the number of Common Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) ETP GP Interest. The ETP GP Interest that has been issued and is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the Pre-Closing Transactions) shall be unchanged and remain outstanding.

(f) Certificates. As of the Effective Time, all Common Units converted into the Merger Consideration and all Series A Units converted into the Series A Unit Consideration, as applicable, pursuant to this Article II shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (or evidence of units in book-entry form (“Book-Entry Units”)) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any

such Common Units or Series A Units (a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration or Series A Unit Consideration, as applicable, and any distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(g), in each case to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(c), without interest, and the right to be admitted as an SXL Limited Partner. SXL GP hereby consents to the admission (as an SXL Limited Partner) of each ETP Unitholder who is issued SXL Units or SXL Preferred Units in accordance with this Article II, upon the proper surrender of the Certificate representing Common Units or Series A Units as applicable. Upon such surrender of the Certificate (or upon a waiver of the requirement to surrender a Certificate granted by SXL GP in its sole discretion) and the recording of the name of such Person as a limited partner of SXL on the books and records of SXL, such Person shall automatically and effective as of the Effective Time be admitted as a SXL Limited Partner and be bound by the Amended SXL Partnership Agreement as such. By its surrender of a Certificate, or by its acceptance of SXL Units or SXL Preferred Units, as applicable, an ETP Unitholder confirms its agreement to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Amended SXL Partnership Agreement.

Section 2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Closing Date, SXL shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to ETP (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging Certificates and Book-Entry Units with respect to Common Units or Series A Units for the Merger Consideration and Series A Unit Consideration, as applicable. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event more than three business days following the Effective Time, SXL will send, or will cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of record of Common Units and Series A Units as of the Effective Time (and, to the extent commercially practicable, to make available for collection by hand, during customary business hours commencing immediately after the Effective Time, if so elected by such holder of record), whose Common Units and Series A Units, as applicable, were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration or Series A Unit Consideration, as applicable, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates and Book-Entry Units (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent) in such forms as ETP and SXL may reasonably agree, including, as applicable, instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates and Book-Entry Units (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent in exchange for the Merger Consideration or Series A Unit Consideration, as applicable.

(b) Deposit. At or prior to the Closing, SXL shall cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of Common Units and Series A Units, an amount of (x) SXL Units (which shall be in non-certificated book-entry form), and (y) SXL Preferred Units (which shall be in certificated form as set forth in the Amended SXL Partnership Agreement), issuable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Units (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Following the Effective Time, SXL agrees to make available to the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay any distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(g), any SXL Units sufficient to pay any Merger Consideration and any SXL Preferred Units sufficient to pay any Series A Unit Consideration, in each case, that may be payable from time to time

following the Effective Time. All book-entry units representing SXL Units and SXL Preferred Units deposited with the Exchange Agent (including pursuant to Section 2.2(h)) shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration and Series A Unit Consideration contemplated to be issued or paid pursuant to this Article II out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by SXL; provided, that (i) no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to holders of Common Units or Series A Units and SXL shall promptly cause to be provided additional funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of holders of Common Units or Series A Units in the amount of any such losses; and (ii) such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than 30 days.

(c) Exchange. Each holder of Common Units and Series A Units that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration or Series A Unit Consideration, as applicable, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, a Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof), or Book-Entry Unit (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) in the case of a Common Unitholder the number of SXL Units representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of SXL Units that such holder has the right to receive in accordance with the provisions of this Article II and (ii) in the case of a Series A Unitholder, the number of SXL Preferred Units representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of SXL Preferred Units that such holder has the right to receive in accordance with the provisions of this Article II. The Merger Consideration and Series A Unit Consideration shall be paid as promptly as practicable by mail after receipt by the Exchange Agent of the Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Units and letter of transmittal in accordance with the foregoing. No interest shall be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration, Series A Unit Consideration or on any unpaid distributions payable to holders of Certificates. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate shall, after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration or Series A Unit Consideration, as applicable. The Merger Consideration and Series A Unit Consideration paid upon surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Units (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Common Units, Series A Units or Book-Entry Units (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof), as the case may be, formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Units (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof).

(d) Other Payees. If any cash payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Unit (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) is registered, it shall be a condition of such payment that the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the making of such cash payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Unit (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. If any portion of the Merger Consideration or Series A Unit Consideration is to be registered in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate or

Book-Entry Unit (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) is registered, it shall be a condition to the registration thereof that the surrendered Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such delivery of the Merger Consideration or Series A Unit Consideration, as applicable, shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other similar Taxes required as a result of such registration in the name of a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Unit (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) No Further Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration on the books of ETP of transfers of Common Units or Series A Units. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Units (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) representing Common Units or Series A Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Common Units or Series A Units, as applicable, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Units (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) are presented to the Exchange Agent or SXL, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article II.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Common Unitholders or Series A Unitholders 12 months after the Effective Time shall be returned to SXL, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged such holder’s Common Units or Series A Units for the Merger Consideration or Series A Unit Consideration, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.2 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to SXL for delivery of the Merger Consideration or Series A Unit Consideration, as applicable, in respect of such holder’s Common Units or Series A Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SXL, ETP and the Surviving Entity shall not be liable to any Common Unitholder or Series A Unitholder for any Merger Consideration or Series A Unit Consideration, as applicable, duly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property Laws. Any Merger Consideration or Series A Unit Consideration remaining unclaimed by Common Unitholders or Series A Unitholders immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of SXL free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Distributions. No distributions with respect to SXL Units or SXL Preferred Units issued in the Merger shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates, or Book-Entry Units (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) until such Certificates or Book-Entry Units (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) are surrendered as provided in this Section 2.2. Following such surrender, subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, there shall be paid, without interest, to the record holder of the SXL Units or SXL Preferred Units, if any, issued in exchange therefor (i) at the time of such surrender, all distributions payable in respect of any such SXL Units or SXL Preferred Units with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the date of such surrender and not previously paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the distributions payable with respect to such SXL Units or SXL Preferred Units with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to such surrender. For purposes of distributions in respect of SXL Units or SXL

Preferred Units, all SXL Units or SXL Preferred Units to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be entitled to distributions pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as if issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time.

(h) No Fractional Units. No certificates or scrip representing fractional SXL Units or SXL Preferred Units shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Units (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all fractional SXL Units that a holder of Common Units converted pursuant to the Merger would otherwise be entitled to receive as Consideration in the Merger (after taking into account all Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof), Book-Entry Units (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof)) will be aggregated and then, if a fractional SXL Unit results from that aggregation, be rounded up to the nearest whole SXL Unit.

(i) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by SXL, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as SXL may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration or Series A Unit Consideration to be paid in respect of the Common Units or Series A Units, as applicable, represented by such Certificate as contemplated by this Article II.

(j) Withholding Taxes. SXL and the Exchange Agent may deduct and withhold as necessary from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, or under any provision of applicable state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law (and to the extent deduction and withholding is required, such deduction and withholding may be taken in SXL Units). To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such withholding was made. If withholding is taken in SXL Units, SXL and the Exchange Agent shall be treated as having sold such SXL Units for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such SXL Units at the time of such deemed sale and paid such cash proceeds to the appropriate Tax authority.

(k) Tax Characterization of Merger and Cash Received. ETP and SXL each acknowledges and agrees that, for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local tax purposes, (i) the Merger is intended to be treated as an “assets-over” partnership merger transaction under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.708-1(c)(1) and 1.708-1(c)(3)(i), whereby SXL is intended to be the terminating partnership and ETP is intended to be the resulting partnership, and as a result, the Merger is intended to be treated for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local tax purposes as (A) a contribution of all of the assets and liabilities of SXL to ETP in exchange for partnership interests in ETP, immediately followed by (B) a liquidating distribution by SXL of such partnership interests in ETP to the partners of SXL, and (ii) none of ETP, SXL, nor any partner of ETP or SXL is intended to recognize taxable gain (other than any gain resulting from (A) any decrease in partnership liabilities pursuant to Section 752 of the Code and (B) a disguised sale attributable to contributions of cash or other

property to SXL after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time) (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Unless required to do so as a result of a “determination” as defined in Section 1313 of the Code, each of ETP and SXL agrees not to make any tax filings or otherwise take any position inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and to cooperate with the other party to make any filings, statements, or reports required to effect, disclose or report the Intended Tax Treatment.

Section 2.3 Treatment of ETP Restricted Units, ETP Cash Units and ETP Equity Plans. Effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, the ETP Managing GP Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering any ETP Equity Plans) and the SXL GP Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) will adopt resolutions, and will take all other actions as may be necessary or required in accordance with applicable Law and each ETP Equity Plan (including, the award agreements in respect of awards granted thereunder) and this Section 2.3, including (i) the SXL GP Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall take all limited liability company action necessary or advisable to assume and continue the ETP Equity Plans (including for purposes of employing such plans to make grants of equity-based awards on SXL Units following the Closing); (ii) the SXL GP Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall take all limited liability company action necessary or advisable to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of SXL Units for delivery upon vesting of a Converted ETP Restricted Unit Award or with respect to future awards granted under the ETP Equity Plans; and (iii) the ETP Managing GP Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall take all corporate action necessary or advisable to ensure that after the Effective Time, neither ETP nor the Surviving Entity will be required to deliver its common units or any other securities to any person pursuant to or in settlement of ETP Restricted Units, in each case, to give effect to this Section 2.3 and provide that:

(a) Treatment of ETP Restricted Units. Each award of restricted units to acquire Common Units, on defined vesting dates, granted under any ETP Equity Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “ETP Restricted Units”) shall, as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any such ETP Restricted Units, cease to relate to or represent a right to receive Common Units and shall be converted into a right to receive an award of SXL Units (a “Converted ETP Restricted Unit Award”), on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding award of ETP Restricted Units (including the right to receive distribution equivalents with respect to such award), except that the number of ETP Restricted Units covered by each such Converted ETP Restricted Unit Award shall be equal to the number of Common Units subject to the corresponding award of ETP Restricted Units multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole unit. With respect to each ETP Restricted Unit, any distribution equivalent amounts accrued but unpaid as of the Closing will carry over and be paid to the holder as soon as practicable following the Closing.

(b) Treatment of ETP Cash Units. Each award of cash units to receive an amount of cash, on defined vesting dates, granted under the Energy Transfer Partners L.P. Long-Term Incentive Cash Restricted Unit Plan (the “ETP Cash Unit Plan”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “ETP Cash Units”) shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to relate to or represent a right to receive an amount of cash based on the fair market value of the

Common Units and shall be converted, at the Effective Time, into the right to receive an award of restricted cash units relating to SXL Units (a “Converted ETP Cash Unit Award”) on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding award of ETP Cash Units, except that the number of notional units that upon vesting entitles the holder to receive an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of an SXL Unit shall be equal to the number of notional Common Units related to the corresponding award of ETP Cash Units multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole notional unit. The ETP Managing GP Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the ETP Cash Unit Plan) will adopt, prior to the Effective Time, an amendment to the ETP Cash Unit Plan to permit the treatment of ETP Cash Units as provided herein.

(c) As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, SXL shall file a Form S-8 registration statement (or such other appropriate form) with respect to the SXL Units available for grant and delivery under the ETP Equity Plans from and after the Effective Time and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement (and maintain the current status of the prospectus contained therein) for so long as such SXL Units are available for grant and delivery under the ETP Equity Plans. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, ETP shall file a post-effective amendment to the Form S-8 registration statements filed by ETP on September 26, 2007, June 10, 2009, December 11, 2014 and May 4, 2015, in each case, deregistering all shares of Common Units thereunder.

Section 2.4 Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article II to the contrary (but without in any way limiting the covenants in Section 5.2), if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the number of outstanding Common Units, Series A Units, Class E Units, Class G Units, Class I Units, Class J Units, Class K Units or SXL Units shall have been changed into a different number of units or a different class by reason of the occurrence or record date of any unit dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, split-up, unit distribution, combination, exchange of units or similar transaction, each of the Exchange Ratio, the Series A Unit Consideration, the SXL Class E Units, the SXL Class G Units, the SXL Class I Units, the SXL Class J Units and the SXL Class K Units shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect fully the effect of such unit dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, split-up, unit distribution, combination, exchange of units or similar transaction and to provide the holders of Common Units, Series A Units, Class E Units, Class G Units, Class I Units, Class J Units and Class K Units the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

Section 2.5 No Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger, the GP Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.5 SXL SEC Documents; Undisclosed Liabilities.

(a) SXL and its Subsidiaries have filed and furnished all reports, schedules, forms, certifications, prospectuses, and registration, proxy and other statements required to be filed by them with the SEC since December 31, 2014 (collectively and together with all documents filed on a voluntary basis on Form 8-K, and in each case including all exhibits and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, the “SXL SEC Documents”). The SXL SEC Documents, as of their respective effective dates (in the case of the SXL SEC Documents that are registration statements filed pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act) and as of their respective SEC filing dates (in the case of all other SXL SEC Documents), or, if amended, as finally amended prior to the date of this Agreement, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, the Securities Act and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as the case may be, applicable to such SXL SEC Documents, and none of the SXL SEC Documents as of such respective dates contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) SXL has established and maintains internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act); such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to SXL, including its consolidated Subsidiaries, required to be disclosed by SXL in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to SXL’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by SXL in the reports

that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. SXL’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer have disclosed, based on their most recent evaluation, to SXL’s auditors and the audit and risk committee of the SXL GP Board (i) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect SXL’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and have identified for SXL’s auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in SXL’s internal controls.

To the Knowledge of SXL, as of the date of this Agreement, there are no facts or circumstances that would prevent its principal executive officer and principal financial officer from giving the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, without qualification, when next due.

All SXL Permits are in full force and effect, except where the failure to be in full force and effect would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a SXL Material Adverse Effect. No suspension or cancellation of any of SXL Permits is pending or, to the Knowledge of SXL, threatened, except where such suspension or cancellation would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a SXL Material Adverse Effect.

(x) agree, in writing or otherwise, to take any of the foregoing actions.

Section 5.3 No Solicitation by ETP.

(a) ETP shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause ETP’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, agents and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to an ETP Alternative Proposal, request the return or destruction of all confidential information previously provided to such parties by or on behalf of ETP or its Subsidiaries and immediately prohibit any access by any Person (other than SXL and its Representatives) to any physical or electronic data room relating to a possible ETP Alternative Proposal. Except as permitted by this Section 5.3, (x) without the prior written consent of SXL, ETP shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate, knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing confidential information) or knowingly induce or take any other action intended to lead to any inquiries or any proposals that constitute or could reasonably be expected to lead to an ETP Alternative Proposal, (ii) grant any waiver or release of any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any units of ETP or of any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) enter into any confidentiality agreement, merger agreement, letter of intent, agreement in principle, unit purchase agreement, asset purchase agreement or unit exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement relating to an ETP Alternative Proposal (an “ETP Acquisition Agreement”), or (iv) withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to SXL, the ETP Board Recommendation or publicly recommend the approval or adoption of, or publicly approve or adopt, or propose to publicly recommend, approve or adopt, any ETP Alternative Proposal, or fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for ETP Units within ten (10) business days after commencement of such offer, or resolving or agreeing to take any of the foregoing actions, and (y) subject to Section 5.3(b), within five business days of receipt of a written request of SXL following the receipt by ETP of any ETP Alternative Proposal, ETP shall publicly reconfirm the ETP Board Recommendation; provided, that, in the event that SXL requests such public reconfirmation of the ETP Board Recommendation, then ETP may not unreasonably withhold, delay (beyond the five business day period) or condition the public reconfirmation of the ETP Board Recommendation and provided, further, that SXL shall not be permitted to make such request on more than one occasion in respect of each ETP Alternative Proposal and each material modification to an ETP Alternative Proposal, if any (the taking of any action described in clause (x)(iii) or the failure to take the action described in clause (y) being referred to as an “ETP Adverse Recommendation Change”). Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by ETP’s Subsidiaries or Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.3 by ETP unless such violation is committed without the Knowledge of ETP and ETP uses its reasonable best efforts to promptly cure such violation once ETP is made aware of such violation.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the ETP Unitholder Approval, (i) ETP has received a written ETP Alternative Proposal that the ETP Managing GP Board (upon the recommendation of the ETP Conflicts Committee) believes is bona fide, (ii) the ETP Managing GP Board (upon the recommendation of the ETP Conflicts Committee), after

consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, determines in good faith that (A) such ETP Alternative Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in an ETP Superior Proposal and (B) failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its duties under the ETP Partnership Agreement or applicable Law and (iii) such ETP Alternative Proposal did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.3, then ETP may, subject to clauses (x) and (y) below, (A) furnish information, including confidential information, with respect to ETP and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such ETP Alternative Proposal and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such ETP Alternative Proposal; provided that (x) ETP will not, and will use reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives not to, disclose any non-public information to such Person unless ETP has, or first enters into, a confidentiality agreement with such Person with confidentiality provisions that are not less restrictive to such Person than the provisions of the SXL Confidentiality Agreement are to SXL and (y) ETP will provide to SXL non-public information about ETP or its Subsidiaries that was not previously provided or made available to SXL prior to or substantially concurrently with providing or making available such non-public information to such other Person.

(c) In addition to the other obligations of ETP set forth in this Section 5.3, ETP shall promptly advise SXL, orally and in writing, and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt, if any proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact is received by, any information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, ETP in respect of any ETP Alternative Proposal, and shall, in any such notice to SXL, indicate the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact and the terms and conditions of any proposals or offers or the nature of any inquiries or contacts (and shall include with such notice copies of any written materials received from or on behalf of such Person relating to such proposal, offer, inquiry or request), and thereafter shall promptly keep SXL reasonably informed of all material developments affecting the status and terms of any such proposals, offers, inquiries or requests (and ETP shall promptly provide SXL with copies of any additional written materials received by ETP or that ETP has delivered to any third party making an ETP Alternative Proposal that relate to such proposals, offers, inquiries or requests) and of the status of any such discussions or negotiations.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the ETP Unitholder Approval, the ETP Managing GP Board and the ETP Conflicts Committee may effect an ETP Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an ETP Alternative Proposal or an ETP Changed Circumstance if the ETP Managing GP Board (upon the recommendation of the ETP Conflicts Committee), after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its duties under the ETP Partnership Agreement or applicable Law and:

(i) if the ETP Managing GP Board (upon the recommendation of the ETP Conflicts Committee) intends to effect such ETP Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an ETP Alternative Proposal:

A. such ETP Alternative Proposal is bona fide, in writing and has not been withdrawn or abandoned;

B. the ETP Managing GP Board (upon the recommendation of the ETP Conflicts Committee) has determined, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such ETP Alternative Proposal constitutes an ETP Superior Proposal after giving effect to all of the adjustments offered by SXL pursuant to clause (E) below;

C. ETP has provided prior written notice to SXL in accordance with Section 8.9 (the “ETP Superior Proposal Notice”) of the ETP Managing GP Board’s intention to effect an ETP Adverse Recommendation Change, and such ETP Superior Proposal Notice has specified the identity of the Person making such ETP Alternative Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such ETP Alternative Proposal, and complete copies of any written proposal or offers (including proposed agreements) received by ETP in connection with such ETP Alternative Proposal;

D. during the period that commences on the date of delivery of the ETP Superior Proposal Notice as determined in accordance with Section 8.9 and ends at 11:59 p.m. Central time on the date that is the fifth calendar day following the date of such delivery (the “ETP Superior Proposal Notice Period”), ETP shall (1) negotiate with SXL in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would permit the ETP Managing GP Board not to effect an ETP Adverse Recommendation Change; and (2) keep SXL reasonably informed with respect to the status and changes in the material terms and conditions of such ETP Alternative Proposal or other change in circumstances related thereto; provided, however, that any material revisions to such ETP Alternative Proposal (it being agreed that any change in the purchase price in such ETP Alternative Proposal shall be deemed a material revision) shall require delivery of a subsequent ETP Superior Proposal Notice and a subsequent ETP Superior Proposal Notice Period in respect of such revised ETP Alternative Proposal, except that such subsequent ETP Superior Proposal Notice Period shall expire upon the later of (x) the end of the initial ETP Superior Proposal Notice Period and (y) 11:59 p.m. Central time on the date that is the third calendar day following the date of the delivery of such subsequent ETP Superior Proposal Notice; and

E. the ETP Managing GP Board shall have considered all revisions to the terms of this Agreement irrevocably offered in writing by SXL and, at the end of the ETP Superior Proposal Notice Period, shall have determined in good faith that (i) such ETP Alternative Proposal continues to constitute an ETP Superior Proposal even if such revisions were to be given effect and (ii) failure to effect an ETP Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its duties under the ETP Partnership Agreement or applicable Law even if such revisions were to be given effect; or

(ii) if the ETP Managing GP Board intends to effect such ETP Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an ETP Changed Circumstance:

A. ETP shall provide prior written notice to SXL in accordance with Section 8.9 (the “ETP Recommendation Change Notice”) of the ETP Managing GP Board’s intention to effect an ETP Adverse Recommendation Change, and such ETP Recommendation Change Notice shall specify the details of such ETP Changed Circumstance and the reasons for the ETP Adverse Recommendation Change;

B. during the period that commences on the date of delivery of the ETP Recommendation Change Notice as determined in accordance with Section 8.9 and ends at 11:59 p.m. Central time on the date that is the fifth calendar day following the date of such delivery (the “ETP Recommendation Change Notice Period”), ETP shall (i) negotiate with SXL in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would permit the ETP Managing GP Board, not to effect an ETP Adverse Recommendation Change; and (ii) keep SXL reasonably informed of any change in circumstances related thereto; and

C. the ETP Managing GP Board shall have considered all revisions to the terms of this Agreement irrevocably offered in writing by SXL and, at the end of the ETP Adverse Recommendation Change Notice Period, shall have determined (upon the recommendation of the ETP Conflicts Committee) in good faith that the failure to effect an ETP Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its duties under the ETP Partnership Agreement or applicable Law even if such revisions were to be given effect.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent ETP or the ETP Managing GP Board from issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an ETP Alternative Proposal if the ETP Managing GP Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that its failure to do so would be reasonably likely to constitute a violation of applicable Law; provided that any ETP Adverse Recommendation Change may only be made in accordance with Section 5.3(d). For the avoidance of doubt, a public statement that describes ETP’s receipt of an ETP Alternative Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed an ETP Adverse Recommendation Change.

Section 5.4 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 5.4(d)), each of the SXL Entities, on the one hand, and the ETP Entities, on the other hand, shall cooperate with the other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) its reasonable best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, necessary, proper or advisable to cause the conditions to the Closing to be satisfied as promptly as practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date) and to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated hereby, including preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notifications, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of

information, applications and other documents (including any required or recommended filings under applicable Antitrust Laws), (ii) obtain promptly (and in any event no later than the Outside Date) all approvals, consents, clearances, expirations or terminations of waiting periods, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or third party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) defend any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or seek to have lifted or rescinded any injunction or restraining order or other order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) obtain all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties. The parties agree to cooperate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to pursue and facilitate possible alternative transaction structures to those contemplated by this Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable in connection with obtaining third party consents in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but no party shall have any obligation to undertake any alternative transaction structure that is materially adverse to any party or such party’s unitholders or members, as the case may be.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, (i) each party hereto (including by their respective Subsidiaries) agrees to make an appropriate filing (if required) of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable and in any event within 15 business days after the date of this Agreement or any later date on which the parties agree that there is an HSR filing requirement (unless a later date is mutually agreed to by the parties hereto) and to supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by any Governmental Authority pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken (including by their respective Subsidiaries), all other actions consistent with this Section 5.4 necessary to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and to obtain approvals or consents under any other applicable Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date); and (ii) ETP and SXL shall each use its reasonable best efforts to (A) take all action necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar Law is or becomes applicable to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and (B) if any state takeover statute or similar Law becomes applicable to any of the transactions contemplated hereby, take all action necessary to ensure that such transaction may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise minimize the effect of such Law on the transaction.

(c) Each of the parties hereto shall use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including by providing the other parties a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, including any proceeding initiated by a private Person, (ii) promptly inform the other party of (and supply to the other party) any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, or any other Governmental Authority and any material communication received or given in connection with

any proceeding by a private Person, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) permit the other party to review in advance and incorporate the other party’s reasonable comments in any communication to be given by it to any Governmental Authority with respect to obtaining any clearances required under any Antitrust Law in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) consult with the other party in advance of any meeting or teleconference with any Governmental Authority or, in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, with any other Person, and, to the extent not prohibited by the Governmental Authority or other Person, give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and teleconferences. Subject to Section 5.6(b), the parties shall take reasonable efforts to share information protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this Section 5.4 in a manner so as to preserve the applicable privilege.

(d) SXL and ETP (including by causing their respective Subsidiaries) agree to use their reasonable best efforts to (i) resolve any objections that a Governmental Authority or other Person may assert under any Antitrust Law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case, so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than the Outside Date, and including offering, accepting and agreeing to (A) dispose or hold separate any part of ETP’s, SXL’s or their respective Subsidiaries’ businesses, operations or assets (or a combination thereof) or (B) restrict the manner in which SXL, ETP or any of their respective Subsidiaries may carry on business in any part of the world. Neither SXL nor ETP shall, without the other party’s prior written consent, commit to any disposal, hold separate, or other restriction related to its or its Subsidiaries’ businesses, operations or assets.

Section 5.5 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by SXL and ETP. Thereafter, neither ETP nor SXL shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by Law or by any applicable listing agreement with the NYSE or other national securities exchange as determined in the good faith judgment of the party proposing to make such release (in which case such party shall not issue or cause the publication of such press release or other public announcement without prior consultation with the other party); provided, however, that ETP shall not be required by this Section 5.5 to consult with any other party with respect to a public announcement in connection with the receipt and existence of an ETP Alternative Proposal that the ETP Managing GP Board (upon the recommendation of the ETP Conflicts Committee) believes is bona fide and matters related thereto or an ETP Adverse Recommendation Change but nothing in this proviso shall limit any obligation of ETP under Section 5.3(d) to negotiate with SXL in good faith; provided, further, that each party and their respective controlled affiliates may make statements that are consistent with statements made in previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by SXL or ETP in compliance with this Section 5.5.

Section 5.6 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, each party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to afford to the other party and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours (and, with respect to books and records, the right to copy) to all of its and its Subsidiaries’ properties, commitments, books, Contracts, records and correspondence (in each case, whether in physical or electronic form), officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other Representatives. Each party shall furnish promptly to the other party (i) a copy of each report, schedule and other document filed or submitted by it pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws and a copy of any communication (including “comment letters”) received by such party from the SEC concerning compliance with securities Laws and (ii) all other information concerning its and its Subsidiaries’ business, properties and personnel as the other party may reasonably request (including information necessary to prepare the Proxy Statement). Except for disclosure permitted by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2016, between SXL and ETP (as it may be amended from time to time, the “SXL Confidentiality Agreement”), each party and its Representatives shall hold information received from the other party pursuant to this Section 5.6 in confidence in accordance with the terms of the SXL Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) This Section 5.6 shall not require either party to permit any access, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable, good faith judgment (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel) of such party would reasonably be expected to result in (i) any violation of any contract or Law to which such party or its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject or cause any privilege (including attorney-client privilege) that such party or any of its Subsidiaries would be entitled to assert to be undermined with respect to such information and such undermining of such privilege could in such party’s good faith judgment (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel) adversely affect in any material respect such party’s position in any pending or, what such party believes in good faith (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel) could be, future litigation or (ii) if such party or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the other party or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, are adverse parties in a litigation, such information being reasonably pertinent thereto; provided that, in the case of clause (i), the parties hereto shall cooperate in seeking to find a way to allow disclosure of such information (including by entering into a joint-defense or similar agreement) to the extent doing so (A) would not (in the good faith belief of the party being requested to disclose the information (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel)) reasonably be likely to result in the violation of any such contract or Law or reasonably be likely to cause such privilege to be undermined with respect to such information or (B) could reasonably (in the good faith belief of the party being requested to disclose the information (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel)) be managed through the use of customary “clean-room” arrangements pursuant to which appropriately designated Representatives of the other party shall be provided access to such information; provided, further, that the party being requested to disclose the information shall (1) notify the other party that such disclosures are reasonably likely to violate its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under any such contract or Law or are reasonably likely to cause such privilege to be undermined, (2) communicate to the other party in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such notification and the subject matter of such information (to the extent it is able to do so in accordance with the

first proviso in this Section 5.6(b)) and (3) in the case where such disclosures are reasonably likely to violate its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under any contract, use reasonable commercial efforts to seek consent from the applicable third party to any such contract with respect to the disclosures prohibited thereby (to the extent not otherwise expressly prohibited by the terms of such contract).

(c) No investigation, or information received, pursuant to this Section 5.6 will modify any of the representations and warranties of the parties hereto.

Section 5.7 Notification of Certain Matters. ETP shall give prompt notice to SXL, and SXL shall give prompt notice to ETP, of (i) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent is reasonably likely to be material to ETP or SXL, (ii) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to such party’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries and that relate to the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would result in the failure to be satisfied of any of the conditions to the Closing in Article VI and (iv) any material failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereby which would result in the failure to be satisfied of any of the conditions to the Closing in Article VI; provided that, in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv), the failure to comply with this Section 5.7 shall not result in the failure to be satisfied of any of the conditions to the Closing in Article VI, or give rise to any right to terminate this Agreement under Article VII, if the underlying fact, circumstance, event or failure would not in and of itself give rise to such failure or right.

Section 5.8 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For purposes of this Section 5.8, (i) “Indemnified Person” shall mean any person who is now, or has been or becomes at any time prior to the Effective Time, an officer or director of ETP, ETP Managing GP, SXL, SXL GP or any of their respective Subsidiaries and also with respect to any such Person, in their capacity as a director, officer, employee, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, foundation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (whether or not such other entity or enterprise is affiliated with ETP) serving at the request of or on behalf of ETP, ETP Managing GP, SXL, SXL GP or any of their respective Subsidiaries and together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators and (ii) “Proceeding” shall mean any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise and whether or not such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation results in a formal civil or criminal litigation or regulatory action.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that ETP, ETP GP or any applicable Subsidiary thereof would be permitted to indemnify an Indemnified Person, SXL and SXL GP agree to (i) indemnify and hold harmless against any cost or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities and amounts paid in

settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any thereof) in connection with any Proceeding, and provide advancement promptly, and in any event within 10 days after any written request, of expenses to, all Indemnified Persons to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and (ii) honor the provisions regarding elimination of liability of directors, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses contained in the ETP Charter Documents and comparable governing instruments of ETP GP and any Subsidiary of ETP or ETP GP immediately prior to the Effective Time and ensure that the organizational documents of the Surviving Entity and SXL GP shall, for a period of six years following the Effective Time, contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors, officers and agents of ETP, ETP GP and their respective Subsidiaries than are presently set forth in the ETP Charter Documents and comparable governing instruments of ETP GP (it being acknowledged and agreed that the provisions of the SXL Charter Documents and comparable governing instruments of ETP GP currently in effect are no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of such Persons than are presently in the ETP Charter Documents and comparable governing instruments of ETP GP). Any right of indemnification of an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 5.8(b) shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified at any time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of such Indemnified Person as provided herein.

(c) The Surviving Entity and the GP Surviving Entity shall maintain in effect for six years from the Effective Time ETP’s and ETP Managing GP’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time with respect to Indemnified Persons (provided that the Surviving Entity or the GP Surviving Entity may substitute therefor policies with reputable carriers of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the Indemnified Persons); provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Entity or the GP Surviving Entity be required to expend pursuant to this Section 5.8(c) more than an amount per year equal to 300% of current annual premiums paid by ETP or ETP Managing GP for such insurance (the “Maximum Amount”). In the event that, but for the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the Surviving Entity or the GP Surviving Entity would be required to expend more than the Maximum Amount, the Surviving Entity or the GP Surviving Entity shall obtain the maximum amount of such insurance as is available for the Maximum Amount. If ETP or ETP Managing GP in its sole discretion elects, then, in lieu of the obligations of SXL and the GP Surviving Entity under this Section 5.8(c), ETP or ETP Managing GP may, prior to the Effective Time, purchase a “tail policy” with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Time that were committed or alleged to have been committed by such Indemnified Persons in their capacity as such; provided that in no event shall the cost of such policy exceed six times the Maximum Amount.

(d) The rights of any Indemnified Person under this Section 5.8 shall be in addition to any other rights such Indemnified Person may have under the organizational documents of ETP, ETP GP, ETP Managing GP, the Surviving Entity, SXL GP, the GP Surviving Entity, the DRULPA, the PLLCL or the DLLCA. The provisions of this Section 5.8 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby for a period of six years and are expressly intended to benefit each of the Indemnified Persons and their respective heirs and

representatives; provided, however, that in the event that any claim or claims for indemnification or advancement set forth in this Section 5.8 are asserted or made within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification and advancement in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until disposition of all such claims. If the Surviving Entity, the GP Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of their businesses or assets to any other Person, then, in each such case, to the extent necessary, a proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Entity or the GP Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations of the Surviving Entity and the GP Surviving Entity set forth in this Section 5.8.

Section 5.9 Securityholder Litigation. ETP shall give SXL the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any securityholder litigation against ETP and/or its officers and directors relating to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that ETP shall in any event control such defense and/or settlement (subject to Section 5.2(a)(xii)) and shall not be required to provide information if doing so would be reasonably expected to threaten the loss of any attorney-client privilege or other applicable legal privilege.

Section 5.10 Financing Matters.

(a) ETP hereby consents to SXL’s use of and reliance on any audited or unaudited financial statements relating to ETP and its consolidated Subsidiaries, any ETP Joint Ventures or entities or businesses acquired by ETP reasonably requested by SXL to be used in any financing or other activities of SXL, including any filings that SXL desires to make with the SEC. In addition, ETP will use commercially reasonable efforts, at SXL’s sole cost and expense, to obtain the consents of any auditor to the inclusion of the financial statements referenced above in appropriate filings with the SEC. Prior to the Closing, ETP will provide such assistance (and will cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective personnel and advisors to provide such assistance), as SXL may reasonably request in order to assist SXL in connection with financing activities, including any public offerings to be registered under the Securities Act or private offerings. Such assistance shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (i) providing such information, and making available such personnel as SXL may reasonably request; (ii) participation in, and assistance with, any marketing activities related to such financing; (iii) participation by senior management of ETP in, and their assistance with, the preparation of rating agency presentations and meetings with rating agencies; (iv) taking such actions as are reasonably requested by SXL or its financing sources to facilitate the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to obtaining such financing; and (v) taking such actions as may be required to permit any cash and marketable securities of ETP or SXL to be made available to finance the transactions contemplated hereby at the Effective Time.

Section 5.11 Fees and Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby including all legal, accounting, financial advisory, consulting and all other fees and expenses of third parties incurred by a party in connection with the negotiation and effectuation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be the obligation of the respective party incurring such fees and expenses (other than the filing fee payable to the SEC in connection with the Registration Statement, which shall be borne one half by ETP and one half by SXL).

Section 5.12 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, SXL and ETP shall take all such steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) to cause any dispositions of Common Units (including derivative securities with respect to Common Units) or acquisitions of SXL Units (including derivative securities with respect to SXL Units) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to ETP, or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to SXL, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.13 Listing. SXL shall cause the SXL Units to be issued pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement to be approved for listing (subject, if applicable, to notice of issuance) for trading on the NYSE prior to the Closing.

Section 5.14 Distributions. After the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, each of SXL and ETP shall coordinate with the other regarding the declaration of any distributions in respect of SXL Units, Common Units and Series A Units and the record dates and payment dates relating thereto, it being the intention of the parties that holders of Common Units or Series A Units shall not receive, for any quarter, distributions both in respect of Common Units or Series A Units and also distributions in respect of SXL Units or SXL Preferred Units, as the case may be, that they receive in exchange therefor in the Merger, but that they shall receive for any such quarter either: (a) only distributions in respect of Common Units or Series A Units or (b) only distributions in respect of SXL Units or SXL Preferred Units, as the case may be, that they receive in exchange therefor in the Merger.

Section 5.15 Conflicts Committees.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.15(b) shall not apply to the filling of any vacancies caused by the death, incapacity or resignation of any director in accordance with the provisions of the SXL GP Agreement.

Section 5.16 Voting and Consent.

(a) ETE covenants and agrees that, until the Effective Time or the earlier of a termination of this Agreement, at the ETP Unitholders Meeting or any other meeting of ETP Limited Partners or any vote of ETP Limited Partner Interests in connection with a vote of the ETP Limited Partners, however called, ETE will vote, or cause to be voted, all ETP Limited Partner Interests then owned beneficially or of record by it or any of its Subsidiaries, as of the record date for such meeting, in favor of the approval of this Agreement (as it may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time) and the Merger and the approval of any actions required in furtherance thereof. ETE consents to, and has caused or shall cause, to the extent necessary and to the extent permitted by the organizational documents thereof, each of its Subsidiaries to consent to, this Agreement, the Amended SXL Partnership Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(i) if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before May 20, 2017 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b)(i) shall not be available (A) to a party if the inability to satisfy such condition was due to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or (B) to a party if the other party has filed (and is then pursuing) an action seeking specific performance as permitted by Section 8.8;

(a) In the event that (A) an ETP Alternative Proposal shall have been publicly proposed or publicly disclosed prior to, and not withdrawn at the time of, the date of the ETP Unitholders Meeting (or, if the ETP Unitholders Meeting shall not have occurred, prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) [Outside Date]), (B) this Agreement is terminated by ETP or SXL pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) [Outside Date] or Section 7.1(b)(iii) [Failed ETP Unitholder Vote], and (C) ETP enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, any ETP Alternative Proposal within 12 months after the date this Agreement is terminated (whether or not such ETP Alternative Proposal is the same ETP Alternative Proposal referred to in clause (A)), then ETP shall pay to SXL a termination fee equal to $630,000,000, less any SXL Expenses previously paid by ETP pursuant to Section 7.3(e) (the “ETP Termination Fee”), upon the earlier of the public announcement that ETP has entered into such definitive agreement or the consummation of any such transaction. For purposes of this Section 7.3(a), the term “ETP Alternative Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 8.13, except that the references to “15% or more” shall be deemed to be references to “50% or more.”

(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated by ETP or SXL pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) [Failed ETP Unitholder Vote] in a case where an ETP Adverse Recommendation Change has occurred by ETP pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) [ETP Superior Proposal], or by SXL pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i) [ETP Adverse Recommendation Change] or Section 7.1(c)(ii) [ETP Willful Breach] (without limiting SXL’s remedies described in Section 8.8), then ETP shall pay to SXL, within two business days after the date of termination, the ETP Termination Fee.

In addition, if ETP shall fail to pay the ETP Termination Fee when due, ETP shall also pay all of SXL’s reasonable costs and expenses

(including attorneys’ fees) in connection with efforts to collect such fee. The ETP Entities and the SXL Entities acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and that, without these agreements, neither the ETP Entities nor the SXL Entities would enter into this Agreement. The parties agree that in the event that ETP pays the ETP Termination Fee to SXL, no ETP Entity shall have any further liability to any SXL Entity of any kind in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and that in no event shall ETP be required to pay the ETP Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of termination of this Agreement by (i) either party pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) [Failed ETP Unitholder Vote] (or a termination by ETP pursuant to a different provision of Section 7.1 at a time when this Agreement was terminable pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) [Failed ETP Unitholder Vote]) or (ii) SXL pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(ii) [ETP Willful Breach], then ETP shall promptly, but in no event later than three business days after receipt of an invoice (with supporting documentation) therefor from SXL, pay SXL’s designee all of the reasonably documented out-of-pocket expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financing sources, hedging counterparties, experts and consultants) incurred by SXL and its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby up to a maximum amount of $30.0 million (the “SXL Expenses”); provided, however, that in no event shall ETP have any obligation to make any such payment if, at the time of such termination, this Agreement was terminable by ETP pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(i) [SXL Uncured Breach].

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any ETP Entity or any SXL Entity in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

Section 8.4 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties except that (a) SXL may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any wholly owned Subsidiary of SXL, but no such assignment shall relieve SXL of any of its obligations hereunder, (b) SXL Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any wholly owned Subsidiary of SXL, but no such assignment shall relieve SXL or SXL Merger Sub of any of its obligations hereunder, (c) ETP may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all its rights and interests under this Agreement to any wholly owned Subsidiary of ETP, but not such assignment shall relieve ETP of any of its obligations hereunder, and (d) ETP Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any wholly owned Subsidiary of ETP Managing GP, but no such assignment shall relieve ETP Managing GP or ETP Merger Sub of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 8.4 shall be null and void.

Section 8.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement) and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

Section 8.6 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the ETP Disclosure Schedule, the SXL Disclosure Schedule and the SXL Confidentiality Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and thereof and (b) shall not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights (including third-party beneficiary rights or otherwise) or remedies hereunder, except for, in the case of clause (b), (i) the provisions of Section 5.8 and Section 8.12 and (ii) the right of the ETP Unitholders to receive the Merger Consideration and the Series A Unit Consideration, as applicable, after the Closing (a claim by the Unitholders with respect to which may not be made unless and until the Closing shall have occurred) and the right of holders of ETP Restricted Units or Converted ETP Restricted Unit Awards and other equity awards to receive the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled pursuant to this Agreement after the Closing (a claim by such holders with respect to which may not be made unless and until the Closing shall have occurred).

Section 8.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that State.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and

obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 8.7, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (A) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

(c) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 8.8 Specific Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and it is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, in accordance with this Section 8.8 in the Delaware Court of Chancery or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (a) either party has an adequate remedy at law or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Each party further agrees that no party shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.8, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. The parties agree that in the event that SXL receives the ETP Termination Fee, SXL may not seek any award of specific performance under this Section 8.8.
