The Partnership is advised by you that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Firm Units and initially to offer the Firm Units upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus. You may from time to time increase or decrease the public offering price after the initial public offering to such extent as you may determine.

     In addition, the Partnership hereby grants to the several Underwriters the option to purchase, and upon the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase from the Partnership ratably in accordance with the number of Firm Units to be purchased by each of them, all or a portion of the Additional Units as may be necessary to cover over-allotments made in connection with the offering of the Firm Units, at the same purchase price per Unit to be paid by the Underwriters to the Partnership for the Firm Units. This option may be exercised by the Representatives on behalf of the several Underwriters at any time and from time to time on or before the 30^th day following the date of the Prospectus Supplement, by written notice to the Partnership.

     2. Payment and Delivery. Payment of the purchase price for the Firm Units shall be made to the Partnership by Federal Funds wire transfer, against electronic delivery of the certificates for the Firm Units in book-entry form to you through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for the respective accounts of the Underwriters. Such payment and delivery shall be made at 9:00 A.M., Houston, Texas time, on December 7, 2009 (unless another time shall be agreed to by you and the Partnership or unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 hereof).

     8. Effective Date of Agreement; Termination. This Agreement shall become effective (i) if Rule 430A under the Act is not used, when you shall have received notification of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or (ii) if Rule 430A under the Act is used, when the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Agreement.

     The obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives if (x) since the time of execution of this Agreement or the earlier respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, there has been any material adverse change or any development involving a prospective material adverse change in the business, properties, management, financial condition or results of operations of the Partnership Entities taken as a whole that would, in the Representatives’ judgment, make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or (y) since the time of execution of this Agreement, there shall have occurred: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the NYSE or NASDAQ; (ii) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Partnership’s securities on NASDAQ; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (iv) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or a declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war; or (v) any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (iv) or (v) in the Representatives’ judgment makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or (z) since the time of execution of this Agreement, there shall have occurred any further downgrading, or any further notice or announcement shall have been given or made of (i) any intended or potential downgrading or (ii) any watch, review or possible change that does not indicate an affirmation or improvement in the rating accorded any securities of or guaranteed by any Regency Party by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as that term is defined in Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act.

     If the Representatives elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 8, the Partnership and each other Underwriter shall be notified promptly in writing.

     If the sale to the Underwriters of the Units, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement or if such sale is not carried out because the Partnership shall be unable to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, the Partnership shall not be under any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 6 and 10 hereof), and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to the Partnership under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 10 hereof) or to one another hereunder.

     9. Increase in Underwriters’ Commitments. Subject to Sections 7 and 8 hereof, if any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to take up and pay for the Firm Units to be purchased by it hereunder (otherwise than for a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7 hereof or a reason sufficient to justify the termination of this Agreement under the provisions of Section 8 hereof) and if the number of Firm Units that all Underwriters so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for does not exceed 10% of the total number of Firm Units, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall take up and pay for (in addition to the aggregate number of Firm Units they are obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 1 hereof) the number of Firm Units agreed to be purchased by all such defaulting Underwriters, as hereinafter provided. Such Units shall be taken up and paid for by such non-defaulting Underwriters in such amount or amounts as you may designate with the consent of each Underwriter so designated or, in the event no such designation is made, such Units shall be taken up and paid for by all non-defaulting Underwriters pro rata in proportion to the aggregate number of Firm Units set opposite the names of such non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule A.

     Without relieving any defaulting Underwriter from its obligations hereunder, the Partnership agrees with the non-defaulting Underwriters that they will not sell any Firm Units hereunder unless all of the Firm Units are purchased by the Underwriters (or by substituted Underwriters selected by you with the approval of the Partnership or selected by the Partnership with your approval).

     If a new Underwriter or Underwriters are substituted by the Underwriters or by the Partnership for a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters in accordance with the foregoing provision, the Partnership or you shall have the right to postpone the time of purchase for a period not exceeding 5 business days in order that any necessary changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and other documents may be effected.

     The term Underwriter as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include any Underwriter substituted under this Section 9 with like effect as if such substituted Underwriter had originally been named in Schedule A.

     If the aggregate number of Firm Units that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase exceeds 10% of the total number of Firm Units that all Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, and if neither the non-defaulting Underwriters nor the Partnership shall make arrangements within the 5 business day period stated above for the purchase of all the Firm Units that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate without further act or deed and without any liability on the part of the Partnership to any Underwriter, whether defaulting or non-defaulting, and without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter to the Partnership. Nothing in this paragraph, and no action taken hereunder, shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

     10. Indemnity and Contribution.

     (a) The Regency Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, directors and officers, and affiliates, and any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) that, jointly or severally, any such Underwriter or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Partnership), or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you to the Partnership expressly for use in the Registration Statement or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was required to be stated in such Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Prospectus (the term Prospectus for the purpose of this Section 10 being deemed to include

any Basic Prospectus, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to the foregoing), in any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Act) of the Partnership or in any Prospectus together with any combination of one or more of the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you to the Partnership expressly for use in such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information not misleading.

     If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against an Underwriter or any such person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Regency Parties pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, such Underwriter or such person shall promptly notify the Partnership in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and the Regency Parties shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify the Partnership shall not relieve the Regency Parties from any liability that the Regency Parties may have to any Underwriter or any such person or otherwise, unless the Regency Parties are materially prejudiced in their defense by reason of such delay. Such Underwriter or such person shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter or of such person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Partnership, in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or the Regency Parties shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them that are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to the Regency Parties (in which case the Regency Parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such Regency Parties and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that the Regency Parties shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). The Regency Parties shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without their written consent but if settled with the written consent of the Regency Parties, the Regency Parties agree to indemnify and hold harmless any Underwriter and any such person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this paragraph, then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have fully reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

     (b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Regency Parties, their directors and officers and any person who controls the Regency Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) that, jointly or severally, the Regency Parties or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact

contained in and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you to the Regency Parties expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Partnership) or in a Prospectus or a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in connection with such information required to be stated in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus necessary to make such information not misleading.

     If any Proceeding is brought against the Regency Parties or any such person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any Underwriter pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Regency Parties or such person shall promptly notify such Underwriter in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and such Underwriter shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such Underwriter shall not relieve such Underwriter from any liability which such Underwriter may have to the Regency Parties or any such person or otherwise, unless such Underwriter is materially prejudiced in its defense by reason of such delay. The Regency Parties or such person shall have the right to employ their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Regency Parties or such person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by such Underwriter in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or such Underwriter shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them that are different from or additional to or in conflict with those available to such Underwriter (in which case such Underwriter shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such Underwriter and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such Underwriter shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). No Underwriter shall be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without the written consent of such Underwriter but, if such Proceeding is settled with the written consent of such Underwriter, such Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Regency Parties and any such person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this paragraph, then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have fully reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

     (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 10 or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Regency Parties, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Units or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Regency Parties, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Regency Parties, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts

and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Regency Parties and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, each bears to the aggregate public offering price of the Units. The relative fault of the Regency Parties, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Regency Parties or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

     (d) The Regency Parties and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (c) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Units underwritten by such Underwriter and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damage that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.

     (e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 10 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Regency Parties contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, its partners, directors or officers or any person (including each partner, officer or director of such person) who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Regency Parties, their directors or officers, or any person who controls the Regency Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Units to be sold by the Partnership pursuant hereto.

     11. Information Furnished by the Underwriters. The statements set forth in the “Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids” paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus, only insofar as such statements relate to the amount of selling concession and reallowance or to stabilization activities that may be undertaken by the Underwriters, constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of the Underwriters, as such information is referred to in Sections 3 and 10 hereof.

     13. Governing Law; Construction. This Agreement and any claim, counterclaim or dispute of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement (“Claim”), directly or indirectly, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The Section headings in this Agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference and are not a part of this Agreement.

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

     15. Parties at Interest. The Agreement herein set forth has been and is made solely for the benefit of the Underwriters, the Regency Parties party hereto and, to the extent provided in Section 10 hereof, the controlling persons, partners, directors and officers referred to in such section, and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, personal representatives and executors and administrators. No other person, partnership, association or corporation (including a purchaser, as such purchaser, from any of the Underwriters) shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.

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

     17. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Underwriters, the Regency Parties party hereto and their successors and assigns and any successor or assign of any substantial portion of the Regency Parties’ (taken as a whole) and any of the Underwriters’ respective businesses and/or assets.

     18. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Regency Parties party hereto each hereby acknowledge that each of the Underwriters is acting solely as underwriter in connection with the purchase and sale of the Partnership’s securities. The Regency Parties party hereto further acknowledge that the Underwriters are acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis and in no event do the parties intend that the Underwriters act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Regency Parties, their respective management, owners, creditors, or any other person in connection with any activity that the Underwriters may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Partnership’s securities, either before or after the date hereof. The Underwriters hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary or similar obligations to the Regency Parties, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters relating to such transactions, and the Regency Parties party hereto each hereby confirm their understanding and agreement to that effect. The Regency Parties party hereto and the Underwriters agree that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions, and that any opinions or views expressed by the Underwriters to the Regency Parties regarding such transactions, including but not limited to any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the Partnership’s securities, do not constitute advice or recommendations to any Regency Party. The Regency Parties party hereto each hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Regency Parties party hereto may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty to the Regency Parties party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters relating to such transaction.

     19. Miscellaneous. UBS, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG, is not a bank and is separate from any affiliated bank, including any U.S. branch or agency of UBS AG. Because UBS is a separately incorporated entity, it is solely responsible for its own contractual obligations and commitments, including obligations with respect to sales and purchases of securities. Securities sold, offered or recommended by UBS are not deposits, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, are not guaranteed by a branch or agency, and are not otherwise an obligation or responsibility of a branch or agency.

     If the foregoing correctly sets forth the understanding among the Regency Parties and the several Underwriters, please so indicate in the space provided below for that purpose, whereupon this agreement and your acceptance shall constitute a binding agreement among the Regency Parties and the Underwriters, severally.

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This Lock-Up Agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into by Regency Energy Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), Regency GP LP, a Delaware limited partnership and the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”), Regency GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the General Partner (“GP LLC”), Regency Gas Services LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. Incorporated, and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives (the “Representatives”) for the several underwriters named in Schedule A to the Underwriting Agreement with respect to the public offering (the “Offering”) of an aggregate of 10,500,000 common units (the “Firm Units”) representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units”).

     In order to induce you to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned agrees that, for a period (the “Lock-Up Period”) beginning on the date hereof and ending on, and including, the date that is 60 days after the date of the final prospectus supplement relating to the Offering, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of UBS, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to, any Common Units or any other securities of the Partnership that are substantially similar to Common Units, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, or any warrants or other rights to purchase, the foregoing, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Units or any other securities of the Partnership that are substantially similar to Common Units, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, or any warrants or other rights to purchase, the foregoing, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Units or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) the registration of the offer and sale of Common Units as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the sale of the Common Units to the Underwriters (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) in the Offering, (b) bona fide gifts, provided the recipient thereof agrees in writing with the Underwriters to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, or (c) dispositions to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned and/or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that such trust agrees in writing with the Underwriters to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean the undersigned and the spouse, any lineal descendent, father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the preceding paragraph shall not apply to the sale of Common Units by the Partnership to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

     In addition, the undersigned hereby waives any rights the undersigned may have to require registration of Common Units in connection with the filing of a registration statement relating to the Offering. The undersigned further agrees that, for the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of UBS, make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of Common Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Units, or warrants or other rights to purchase Common Units or any such securities.

     Notwithstanding the above, if (a) during the period that begins on the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days plus three (3) business days before the last day of the Lock-Up Period and ends on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Partnership occurs; or (b) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership announces that it will release earnings results during the sixteen (16) day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, then the restrictions imposed by this Lock-Up Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days plus three (3) business days after the date on which the issuance of the earnings release or the material news or material event occurs; provided, however, that this paragraph shall not apply if (i) the safe harbor provided by Rule 139 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is available in the manner contemplated by Rule 2711(f)(4) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, formerly known as the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“FINRA”); and (ii) within the 3 business days preceding the 15th calendar day before the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership delivers (in accordance with the notice provisions of the Underwriting Agreement) to UBS a certificate, signed by the Chief Financial Officer or Chief Executive Officer of GP LLC, certifying on behalf of the Partnership that the Partnership’s units of Common Units are “actively traded securities,” within the meaning of Rule 2711(f)(4) of FINRA.

     In addition, the undersigned hereby waives any and all preemptive rights, participation rights, resale rights, rights of first refusal and similar rights that the undersigned may have in connection with the Offering or with any issuance or sale by the Partnership of any equity or other securities before the Offering.

     The undersigned hereby confirms that the undersigned has not, directly or indirectly, taken, and hereby covenants that the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, take, any action designed, or which has constituted or will constitute or might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Partnership to facilitate the sale or resale of units of Common Units.

*     *     *     *

     If (i) the Partnership notifies you in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, (ii) the registration statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Offering is withdrawn or (iii) for any reason the Underwriting Agreement is terminated prior to the “time of purchase” (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), this Lock-Up Agreement shall terminate and the undersigned shall be released from its obligations hereunder.

9.

The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Regency Parties party thereto.

10.

The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act and, to such counsel’s knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and no proceedings for that purpose are pending or threatened under the Act, and any required filing of the Prospectus and any supplement thereto pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act has been made in the manner and within the time period required by such Rule 424 and in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 430A under the Act; and the Common Units are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

11.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Regency Parties, the sale of the Units to be sold by the Partnership and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement do not and will not (i) conflict with, result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default under (nor constitute any event which with notice, lapse of time or both would result in

any breach or violation of or constitute a default under) the organizational documents of any of the Partnership Entities, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, (ii) result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default under (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a breach or violation of or default under), any agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or as an exhibit to the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 or any subsequent reports filed under the Exchange Act by the Partnership or (iii) violate any applicable law of the United States of America, the Delaware LP Act or the Delaware LLC Act that is applicable to the Partnership Entities, excluding in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) any such breaches, violations and defaults that would not have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that no opinion is expressed pursuant to this clause (iii) with respect to anti-fraud provisions of federal or state securities laws and tax laws.

12.

No approval, authorization, consent or order of or filing with any federal, state, local or foreign governmental or regulatory commission, board, body, authority or agency applicable to the Partnership Entities is required in connection with the (i) execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Regency Parties, or (ii) sale of the Units to be sold by the Partnership pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, other than registration of the Units under the Act, which has been or will be effected, and any necessary qualification under the securities or blue sky laws of the various jurisdictions in which the Units are being offered by the Underwriters or under the rules and regulations of FINRA.

13.

The Units, the Sponsor Units and Incentive Distribution Rights conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any.

14.

The statements in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, under the captions “How We Make Cash Distributions,” “Description of Our Common Units,” “The Partnership Agreement,” “Underwriting,” and “Material Income Tax Consequences,” insofar as they constitute a description of contracts or legal proceedings or refer to statements of law or legal conclusions, are accurate and complete in all material respects.

15.

The opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP that is filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration Statement is confirmed and the Underwriters may rely upon such opinion as if it were addressed to them.

16.

The Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, and any further amendments or supplements thereto made by the Partnership prior to the date hereof (except for the financial statements and the notes and financial schedules thereto, and other financial and other related accounting data included therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) appear on their face to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including, in the case of the Prospectus, Section 10(a) of the Act).

17.

None of the Partnership Entities is an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act.

18.
