DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW ETO NOTES

The New ETO Notes will be issued under the Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2018 (the “New ETO Notes Base Indenture”), among ETO, as issuer, SXL Opco, as subsidiary guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as the trustee (the “trustee”), as supplemented by a third supplemental indenture to be dated as of the Settlement Date (the New ETO Notes Base Indenture, as so supplemented, the “New ETO Indenture”).

The terms of the New ETO Notes will include those stated in the New ETO Notes Indenture, as well as those made part of the New ETO Notes Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The New ETO Notes will constitute senior debt securities to be issued under the New ETO Indenture.

Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the New ETO Indenture or the New ETO Notes. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to all of the provisions of the New ETO Indenture, including definitions of certain terms used in the New ETO Indenture, and the New ETO Notes. You should read the New ETO Indenture and the New ETO Notes because they contain additional information and they, and not this description, define your rights as a holder of the New ETO Notes. Additionally, copies of the New ETO Indenture and forms of the New ETO Notes are available without charge upon request in writing to the Information Agent at the address provided on back of this prospectus or to us at the address provided under “Information We Incorporate by Reference.” For purposes of this section, references to “ETO” “we,” “us” or “our” include only ETO and not any of its subsidiaries.

General

We will initially issue up to $1.187 billion aggregate principal amount of the New ETO 2020 Notes, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the New ETO 2023 Notes, $1.15 billion aggregate principal amount of the New ETO 2024 Notes and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the New ETO 2027 Notes.

The New ETO 2020 Notes will mature on October 15, 2020. The New ETO 2023 Notes will mature on March 15, 2023. The New ETO 2024 Notes will mature on January 15, 2024. The New ETO 2027 Notes will mature on June 1, 2027.

The New ETO 2020 Notes will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 7.500% payable semi-annual in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2019, to the persons in whose names the New ETO 2020 Notes are registered at the close of business on April 1 and October 1, respectively, preceding the interest payment date. Interest on the New ETO 2020 Notes will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

The New ETO 2023 Notes will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 4.250% payable semi-annual in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2019, to the persons in whose names the New ETO 2023 Notes are registered at the close of business on March 1 and September 1, respectively, preceding the interest payment date.

Interest on each series of New ETO Notes will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid or duly provided for with respect to the applicable series of Existing ET Notes.

If any interest payment date, stated maturity date or redemption date falls on a day that is not a business day, the payment will be made on the next business day and no interest will accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date, stated maturity date or redemption date.

The New ETO Notes will be issued in fully registered form only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

We may without notice to or the consent of the holders of any New ETO Notes, increase the principal amount of any series of New ETO Notes in the future, on the same terms and conditions, other than the public offering price, original interest accrual date and initial interest payment date, and with the same CUSIP number as such series of New ETO Notes being offered by this prospectus. The New ETO Notes and any additional New ETO Notes of any series subsequently issued under a New ETO Indenture will be treated as a single series or class for all purposes under such New ETO Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments and redemptions.

The New ETO Indenture will not limit the amount of debt that we may issue, nor the amount of other unsecured debt or securities that we or any of our subsidiaries may issue. We may issue additional debt securities under the New ETO Notes Base Indenture from time to time in one or more series, each in an amount authorized prior to issuance. Other than the restrictions contained in the New ETO Indenture on liens and sale-leaseback transactions described below under “—Certain Covenants,” the New ETO Indenture will not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to protect holders of the debt securities in the event we participate in a highly leveraged transaction. In addition, the New ETO Indenture will not limit our ability to guarantee any indebtedness of our subsidiaries or any other person.

Optional Redemption

The New ETO Notes of the following series will be redeemable, at our option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, (i) in the case of the New ETO 2020 Notes, at any time, (ii) in the case of the New ETO 2023 Notes, prior to December 15, 2022 (three months prior to their maturity date) (the “New ETO 2023 Notes Early Call Date”), (iii) in the case of the New ETO 2024 Notes, prior to October 15, 2023 (three months prior to their maturity date) (the “New ETO 2024 Notes Early Call Date”) and (iv) in the case of the New ETO 2027 Notes, prior to March 1, 2027 (three months prior to their maturity date) (the “New ETO 2027 Notes Early Call Date” and, together with the New ETO 2023 Notes Early Call Date and the New ETO 2024 Notes Early Call Date, the “Early Call Dates”), at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

62

At any time on or after the New ETO 2023 Notes Early Call Date with respect to the New ETO 2023 Notes, the New ETO 2024 Notes Early Call Date with respect to the New ETO 2024 Notes and the New ETO 2027 Notes Early Call Date with respect to the New ETO 2027 Notes, the respective notes will be redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the applicable series of New ETO Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The actual redemption price, calculated as provided below, will be calculated and certified to the trustee and us by the Independent Investment Banker.

New ETO Notes called for redemption become due on the redemption date. Notices of redemption will be delivered at least 15 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for any series of New ETO Notes will state, among other things, the amount of New ETO Notes to be redeemed, the redemption date, the method of calculating the redemption price and each place that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such New ETO Notes to be redeemed. Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on any notes that have been called for redemption on the redemption date. If less than all of the New ETO Notes of a series are redeemed at any time, the trustee will select the notes or any portions thereof in integral multiples of $1,000 to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method the trustee deems fair and appropriate and, when the New ETO Notes are in the form of global securities, in accordance with the applicable procedures of the DTC.

For purposes of determining the redemption price, the following definitions are applicable:

“ Comparable Treasury Issue ” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the applicable series of Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the applicable series of Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that if no maturity is within three months before or after the maturity date for such Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such United States Treasury security will be determined and the treasury rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis rounding to the nearest month.

“ Comparable Treasury Price ” means, with respect to any redemption date, (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“ Independent Investment Banker ” means any of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC or TD Securities (USA) LLC (and their respective successors) or, if any such firm is not willing and able to select the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by ETO.

“ Reference Treasury Dealer ” means a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States selected by each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and TD Securities (USA) LLC or an affiliate or successor of the foregoing, and, at our option, one or more additional primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall resign as a Reference Treasury Dealer or cease to be a U.S. government securities dealer, ETO will substitute therefor another primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States.

“ Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations ” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date for such New ETO Notes, an average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of

63

the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for the applicable series of New ETO Notes to be redeemed (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

“ Treasury Yield ” means, with respect to any redemption date applicable to the New ETO Notes to be redeemed, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third business day immediately preceding such redemption date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

Subsidiary Guarantees

The New ETO Notes initially will be guaranteed by SXL Opco. None of ETO’s other Subsidiaries will guarantee the New ETO Notes upon their issuance; however, if at any time following the issuance of the New ETO Notes, any ETO Subsidiary guarantees, becomes a co-obligor with respect to or otherwise provides direct credit support for any obligations of ETO or any of its other Subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement, then ETO will cause such Subsidiary to promptly execute and deliver to the trustee a supplemental indenture in a form satisfactory to the trustee pursuant to which such Subsidiary guarantees ETO’s obligations with respect to the New ETO Notes on the terms provided for in the New ETO Indenture.

The guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor may be released under certain circumstances. If ETO exercises its legal or covenant defeasance option with respect to the New ETO Notes as described below under “—Defeasance and Discharge,” then any Subsidiary Guarantor will be released. Further, if no default has occurred and is continuing under the New ETO Indenture, and to the extent not otherwise prohibited by the New ETO Indenture, a Subsidiary Guarantor will be unconditionally released and discharged from its guarantee:

If at any time following any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee of the New ETO Notes pursuant to the third bullet point in the preceding paragraph, the Subsidiary Guarantor again guarantees, becomes a co-obligor with respect to or otherwise provides direct credit support for any of ETO’s obligations or those of any of its Subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement, then ETO will cause the Subsidiary Guarantor to again guarantee the New ETO Notes in accordance with the New ETO Indenture.

Ranking

The New ETO Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of ETO and will rank equally in right of payment with all of ETO’s existing and future senior unsecured debt, including debt under ETO’s revolving credit facility, its existing senior notes and the senior notes of SXL Opco. The New ETO Notes will rank senior in right of payment with all of ETO’s existing and future subordinated debt of ETO, including its junior subordinated notes, and structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other obligations, including trade payables, of ETO’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the New ETO Notes. The New ETO Notes and each guarantee, if any, will effectively rank junior to any future indebtedness of ETO and SXL Opco or any applicable Subsidiary Guarantor that is both secured and unsubordinated to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

64

The New ETO Notes will initially be guaranteed by SXL Opco on a senior unsecured basis so long as it guarantees any of ETO’s other long-term debt. Any of ETO’s other subsidiaries that in the future become guarantors or co-issuers of ETO’s long-term debt must guarantee the New ETO Notes on the same basis. SXL Opco’s guarantee of each series of the New ETO Notes will rank equally in right of payment with SXL Opco’s existing and future senior unsecured debt, including its senior notes and its guarantees of debt under ETO’s revolving credit facility and existing senior notes, and senior in right of payment to any subordinated debt SXL Opco may incur.

As of December 31, 2018, after giving effect to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations (assuming the exchange of all of the Existing ET Notes for New ETO Notes) and the Senior Notes Offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, ETO would have had total senior debt of $37.6 billion, including the New ETO Notes, and ETO would have been able to incur an additional $4.0 billion of debt under its revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2018, SXL Opco had $7.6 billion of indebtedness outstanding, all of which was senior unsecured notes, and SXL Opco guaranteed all of ETO’s obligations under its senior unsecured indebtedness. As of December 31, 2018, after giving effect to the Senior Notes Offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, ETO’s subsidiaries (other than SXL Opco) would have had an aggregate of $8.1 billion of indebtedness outstanding.

No Sinking Fund

ETO is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the New ETO Notes.

Certain Covenants

Except as set forth below, neither ETO nor any of its Subsidiaries is restricted by the New ETO Indenture from incurring any type of indebtedness or other obligation, from paying dividends or making distributions on its partnership or other equity interests or from purchasing or redeeming its partnership or other equity interests. The New ETO Indenture will not require the maintenance of any financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity. In addition, the New ETO Indenture will not contain any provisions that would require ETO to repurchase or redeem or otherwise modify the terms of the New ETO Notes upon a change in control or other events involving ETO that could adversely affect the creditworthiness of ETO.

Limitations on Liens.

ETO will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, security interest, pledge, charge or other encumbrance (“liens”) upon any Principal Property or upon any capital stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned on the date of the New ETO Indenture or thereafter acquired, to secure any Indebtedness of ETO or any other Person (other than the New ETO Notes), without in any such case making effective provisions whereby all of the outstanding notes are secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, such Indebtedness so long as such Indebtedness is so secured.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, under the New ETO Indenture, ETO may, and may permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, assume, incur, or suffer to exist without securing the New ETO Notes (a) any Permitted Lien, (b) any lien upon any Principal Property or capital stock of a Restricted Subsidiary to secure Indebtedness of ETO or any other Person, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness then outstanding secured by such lien and all similar liens under this clause (b), together with all Attributable Indebtedness from Sale-Leaseback Transactions (excluding Sale-Leaseback Transactions permitted by clauses (1) through (4), inclusive, of the first paragraph of the restriction on sale-leasebacks covenant described below), does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets or (c) any lien upon (i) any Principal Property that was not owned by ETO or any of its Subsidiaries on the date of the supplemental indenture creating the New ETO Notes or (ii) the capital stock of any Restricted Subsidiary that owns no Principal Property that was owned by ETO or any of its Subsidiaries on the date of the supplemental indenture creating the New ETO Notes, in each case owned by a

65

Subsidiary of ETO (an “Excluded Subsidiary”) that (A) is not, and is not required to be, a Subsidiary Guarantor and (B) has not granted any liens on any of its property securing Indebtedness with recourse to ETO or any Subsidiary of ETO other than such Excluded Subsidiary or any other Excluded Subsidiary.

Restriction on Sale-Leasebacks.

ETO will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in the sale or transfer by ETO or any of its Subsidiaries of any Principal Property to a Person (other than ETO or a Subsidiary) and the taking back by ETO or its Subsidiary, as the case may be, of a lease of such Principal Property (a “Sale-Leaseback Transaction”), unless:

(1)    such Sale-Leaseback Transaction occurs within one year from the date of completion of the acquisition of the Principal Property subject thereto or the date of the completion of construction, development or substantial repair or improvement, or commencement of full operations on such Principal Property, whichever is later;

(2)    the Sale-Leaseback Transaction involves a lease for a period, including renewals, of not more than three years;

(3)    ETO or such Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a lien on the Principal Property subject thereto in a principal amount equal to or exceeding the Attributable Indebtedness from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the New ETO Notes; or

(4)    ETO or such Subsidiary, within a one-year period after such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, applies or causes to be applied an amount not less than the Attributable Indebtedness from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction to (a) the prepayment, repayment, redemption, reduction or retirement of any Indebtedness of ETO or any of its Subsidiaries that is not subordinated to the New ETO Notes or any guarantee, or (b) the expenditure or expenditures for Principal Property used or to be used in the ordinary course of business of ETO or its Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, ETO may, and may permit any Subsidiary to, effect any Sale-Leaseback Transaction that is not excepted by clauses (1) through (4), inclusive, of the preceding paragraph provided that the Attributable Indebtedness from such Sale- Leaseback Transaction, together with the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Indebtedness (other than the New ETO Notes) secured by liens other than Permitted Liens upon Principal Properties, does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

Reports.

So long as any New ETO Notes are outstanding, ETO will:

66

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.

ETO shall not, in a transaction or series of transactions, consolidate with or merge into any Person or sell, lease, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person unless:

(1)    the Person formed by or resulting from any such consolidation or merger or to which such assets have been sold, leased, conveyed, transferred or otherwise disposed of (the “successor”) is ETO or expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of ETO’s obligations and liabilities under the New ETO Indenture and the New ETO Notes;

(2)    the successor is organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

(3)    immediately after giving effect to the transaction or series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(4)    ETO has delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with the New ETO Indenture.

The successor will be substituted for ETO in the New ETO Indenture with the same effect as if it had been an original party to the New ETO Indenture. Thereafter, the successor may exercise the rights and powers of ETO under the New ETO Indenture. If ETO conveys or transfers all or substantially all of its assets, it will be released from all liabilities and obligations under the New ETO Indenture and under the New ETO Notes except that no such release will occur in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of its assets.

Events of Default

Each of the following is an “Event of Default” under the New ETO Indenture with respect to New ETO Notes of each series:

(1)    a default in any payment of interest on such series of New ETO Notes when due that continues for 30 days;

(2)    a default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on such notes when due at their stated maturity, upon redemption, by declaration, upon required repurchase or otherwise;

(3)    a failure by ETO or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with its other covenants or agreements in the New ETO Indenture continuing for 60 days after written notice of default given by the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding New ETO Notes;

(4)    certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of ETO or any Subsidiary Guarantor as more fully described in the New ETO Indenture (the “bankruptcy provisions”);

(5)    any guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect, is declared null and void or is found to be invalid in a judicial proceeding or any Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under the New ETO Indenture or its guarantee; or

(6)    any Indebtedness of ETO or any Subsidiary Guarantor is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or is accelerated by the holders thereof because of a default and the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $25,000,000.

An Event of Default for a series of the New ETO Notes will not necessarily constitute an Event of Default for any other series of debt securities issued under the New ETO Indenture, and an Event of Default for any such

67

other series of debt securities will not necessarily constitute an Event of Default for any series of the New ETO Notes. Further, an event of default under other indebtedness of ETO or its Subsidiaries will not necessarily constitute a Default or an Event of Default for the New ETO Notes. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (4) above) with respect to the New ETO Notes of any series occurs and is continuing, the trustee by notice to ETO, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding New ETO Notes of such series by notice to ETO and the trustee, may, and the trustee at the request of such holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the New ETO Notes of such series to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable immediately. The New ETO Indenture provides that if an Event of Default described in clause (4) above occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the New ETO Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration of acceleration, notice or other act on the part of the trustee or any holders. However, the effect of such provision may be limited by applicable law.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding applicable series of New ETO Notes may, by written notice to the trustee, rescind any acceleration with respect to such series and annul its consequences if rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and all existing Events of Default with respect to such series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the New ETO Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived.

Subject to the provisions of the New ETO Indenture relating to the duties of the trustee if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the New ETO Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of New ETO Notes, unless such holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any cost, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no holder of New ETO Notes may pursue any remedy with respect to the New ETO Indenture or the New ETO Notes, unless:

(1)    such holder has previously given the trustee notice that an Event of Default with respect to the New ETO Notes is continuing;

(2)    holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding New ETO Notes of the applicable series have requested in writing that the trustee pursue the remedy;

(3)    such holders have offered the trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any cost, liability or expense;

(4)    the trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5)    the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding New ETO Notes of the applicable series have not given the trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding New ETO Notes of the applicable series have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the New ETO Notes of such series. The trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the New ETO Indenture or that the trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder of New ETO Notes or that would involve the trustee in personal liability.

The New ETO Indenture provides that if a Default (that is, an event that is, or after notice or the passage of time would be, an Event of Default) with respect to the New ETO Notes occurs and is continuing and is known to

68

the trustee, the trustee must send to each holder of New ETO Notes notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on the New ETO Notes, the trustee may withhold such notice, but only if and so long as the trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the holders of New ETO Notes. In addition, ETO is required to deliver to the trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an officers’ certificate as to compliance with all covenants under the New ETO Indenture and indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during the previous year. ETO also is required to deliver to the trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, an officers’ certificate specifying any Default or Event of Default, its status and what action ETO is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

Amendments and Waivers

Amendments of the New ETO Indenture may be made by ETO, the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, and the trustee with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding New ETO Notes of the affected series (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for debt securities). However, without the consent of each holder of an affected note, no amendment may, among other things:

(1)    reduce the percentage in principal amount of New ETO Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment;

(2)    reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any note;

(3)    reduce the principal of or extend the stated maturity of any note;

(4)    reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any note as described above under “—Optional Redemption;”

(5)    change any obligation of ETO or any Subsidiary Guarantor to pay additional amounts with respect to any note;

(6)    make any New ETO Notes payable in money other than U.S. dollars;

(7)    impair the right of any holder to receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such holder’s note or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s note;

(8)    waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest with respect to such holder’s note;

(9)    make any change in the amendment provisions which require each holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions;

(10)    release any security that may have been granted in respect of the New ETO Notes other than in accordance with the New ETO Indenture; or

(11)    release the guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor other than in accordance with the New ETO Indenture or modify its guarantee in any manner adverse to the holders.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding New ETO Notes of any series may waive compliance by ETO with certain restrictive covenants on behalf of all holders of New ETO Notes of such series, including those described under “—Certain Covenants—Limitations on Liens” and “—Certain Covenants—

69

Restriction on Sale-Leasebacks.” The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding New ETO Notes of any series, on behalf of all such holders, may waive any past or existing default or Event of Default with respect to the New ETO Notes of such series (including any such waiver obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the notes), except a default or Event of Default in the payment of principal, premium or interest or in respect of a provision that under the New ETO Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected. A waiver by the holders of New ETO Notes of any series of compliance with a covenant, a default or an Event of Default will not constitute a waiver of compliance with such covenant or such default or Event of Default with respect to any other series of debt securities issued under the New ETO Indenture to which such covenant, default or Event of Default applies.

Without the consent of any holder, ETO, the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, and the trustee may amend the New ETO Indenture to:

(1)    cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

(2)    provide for the assumption by a successor of the obligations of ETO under the New ETO Indenture;

(3)    provide for uncertificated New ETO Notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes;

(4)    provide for the addition of any Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Guarantor, or to reflect the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor, in either case as provided in the New ETO Indenture;

(5)    secure the New ETO Notes or a guarantee;

(6)    comply with any requirement in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the New ETO Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

(7)    add to the covenants of ETO or any Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of the holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon ETO or any Subsidiary Guarantor;

(8)    add any additional Events of Default;

(9)    make any change that does not adversely affect the rights under the New ETO Indenture of any holder;

(10)    supplement any of the provisions of the New ETO Indenture to facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the New ETO Notes pursuant to the terms of the New ETO Indenture;

(11)    comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the New ETO Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

(12)    conform the text of the New ETO Indenture or a guarantee to any provision of this “Description of the New ETO Notes” to the extent that such text of the New ETO Indenture or the guarantee was intended to reflect such provision of this “Description of the New ETO Notes;” and

(13)    provide for a successor trustee.

The consent of the holders is not necessary under the New ETO Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. After an amendment with the consent of the holders under the New ETO Indenture becomes effective, ETO is required to mail to all holders of New ETO Notes a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all such holders, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

70

Defeasance and Discharge

ETO at any time may terminate all its obligations under the New ETO Indenture as they relate to the New ETO Notes of any series (“legal defeasance”), except for certain obligations, including those respecting the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer of or exchange the New ETO Notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen New ETO Notes and to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the New ETO Notes.

ETO at any time may terminate its obligations under the covenants described under “—Certain Covenants” (other than “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets”) and the bankruptcy provisions with respect to each Subsidiary Guarantor, the guarantee provision and the cross-acceleration provision described under “—Events of Default” above with respect to the New ETO Notes of any series (“covenant defeasance”).

ETO may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. If ETO exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the New ETO Notes of the applicable series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If ETO exercises its covenant defeasance option for the a series of the New ETO Notes, payment of the New ETO Notes of the applicable series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (3), (4) (with respect only to a Subsidiary Guarantor), (5) or (6) under “—Events of Default” above. If ETO exercises either its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, each guarantee will terminate with respect to the New ETO Notes of the applicable series and any security that may have been granted with respect to the New ETO Notes of the applicable series will be released.

In order to exercise either defeasance option, ETO must irrevocably deposit in trust (the “defeasance trust”) with the trustee money, U.S. Government Obligations (as defined in the New ETO Indenture) or a combination thereof for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the New ETO Notes of the applicable series to redemption or stated maturity, as the case may be, and must comply with certain other conditions, including delivery to the trustee of an opinion of counsel (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) to the effect that holders of the New ETO Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred. In the case of legal defeasance only, such opinion of counsel must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or other change in applicable federal income tax law.

In the event of any legal defeasance, holders of the New ETO Notes of the applicable series would be entitled to look only to the trust fund for payment of principal of and any premium and interest on their New ETO Notes until maturity.

Although the amount of money and U.S. Government Obligations on deposit with the trustee would be intended to be sufficient to pay amounts due on the New ETO Notes at the time of their stated maturity, if ETO exercises its covenant defeasance option for the New ETO Notes and the New ETO Notes are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the New ETO Notes at the time of the acceleration resulting from such Event of Default. ETO would remain liable for such payments, however.

In addition, ETO may discharge all its obligations under the New ETO Indenture with respect to the New ETO Notes of any series, other than its obligation to register the transfer of and exchange notes, provided that either:

71

Book-Entry; Delivery and Form

Except as set forth below, the New ETO Notes will be issued in registered global form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of that amount. The New ETO Notes will initially be represented by one or more fully registered global notes, which we refer to collectively as the “global notes.” Each such global note will be deposited upon issuance with the trustee as custodian for the DTC in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below. Transfers of beneficial interests in the global notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants (including, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream), which may change from time to time.

The following are summaries of certain rules and operating procedures of DTC that affect the payment of principal and interest and the transfers of interests in the global notes. The New ETO Notes will be issued only in the form of definitive global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Unless and until they are exchanged in whole or in part for notes in definitive form under the limited circumstances described below, a global note may not be transferred except as a whole (1) by DTC to a nominee, (2) by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or (3) by DTC or any such nominee to a successor of DTC or a nominee of such successor. Accountholders in the Euroclear or Clearstream Banking clearance systems may hold beneficial interests in the New ETO Notes through the accounts that each of these systems maintain as participants in DTC.

Ownership of beneficial interests in the global notes will be limited to persons that have accounts with DTC for such global notes, who we refer to as participants, or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of the global notes, DTC will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal amounts of the New ETO Notes represented by such global notes beneficially owned by such participants.

Ownership of beneficial interests in the global notes will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to interests of participants). Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the global notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interest in the global notes, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the global notes is discontinued. The laws of some states may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such laws may limit or impair the ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the global notes.

So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the global notes, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the New ETO Notes represented by such global notes for all purposes under the New ETO Indenture. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in the global notes will not be entitled to have notes represented by such global notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such New ETO Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or holders thereof under the New ETO Indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in the global notes must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the New ETO Indenture.

72

We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in any of the global notes desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the New ETO Indenture, DTC would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take such action, and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial owners may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the global notes, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the New ETO Notes. Beneficial owners may ascertain that the nominee holding the global notes for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to beneficial owners or beneficial owners may provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.

Principal and interest payments on interests represented by the global notes will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of such global notes. None of ETO, the Trustee any other agent of ETO or agent of the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any facet of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership of interests. We expect that DTC, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of the global notes, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in such global notes as shown on the records of DTC. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global notes held through such participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practice, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such participants.

If DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the global notes of any series, and we fail to appoint a successor depository registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days, we will issue New ETO Notes of that series in definitive form in exchange for the global notes. Any New ETO Notes issued in definitive form in exchange for such global notes will be registered in such name or names, and will be issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof as DTC shall instruct the Trustee. It is expected that such instructions will be based upon directions received by DTC from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the global notes.

DTC

DTC has advised us that DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the Banking Law of the State of New York, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold the securities of its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC’s participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of which (and/or their representatives) directly or indirectly own DTC. Access to the DTC book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers and dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly.

Clearstream

We understand that Clearstream is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations (‘‘Clearstream Participants’’) and facilitates the

73

clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream provides to Clearstream Participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic securities markets in several countries. As a professional depositary, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Sector ( Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier ). Clearstream Participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Clearstream’s U.S. participants are limited to securities brokers and dealers and banks. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant either directly or indirectly.

Euroclear

We understand that Euroclear was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear (‘‘Euroclear Participants’’) and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear performs various other services, including securities lending and borrowing, and interacts with domestic markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A/N.V. (the ‘‘Euroclear Operator’’), under contract with Euroclear plc, a U.K. corporation. All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator, not Euroclear plc. Euroclear plc establishes policy for Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear Participants. Euroclear Participants include banks, including central banks, securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly.

The Euroclear Operator is a Belgian bank. As such it is regulated by the Belgian Banking and Finance Commission.

Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System (the ‘‘Euroclear Terms and Conditions’’), and applicable Belgian law. The Euroclear Terms and Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within Euroclear, withdrawals of securities and cash from Euroclear, and receipts of payments with respect to securities in Euroclear. All securities in Euroclear are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear Participants, and has no record of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear Participants.

Same Day Settlement and Payment

All payments of principal and interest on the New ETO Notes will be made by ETO in immediately available funds. The New ETO Notes will trade in DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System until maturity, and secondary market trading activity in the New ETO Notes will therefore be required by DTC to settle in immediately available funds.

Concerning the Trustee

The New ETO Indenture contains certain limitations on the right of the trustee, should it become our creditor, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize for its own account on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee is permitted to engage in certain other

74

transactions. However, if it acquires any conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act after a default has occurred and is continuing, it must eliminate the conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign.

If an Event of Default occurs and is not cured or waived, the trustee is required to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the New ETO Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will not be under any obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the New ETO Indenture at the request of any of the holders of New ETO Notes unless they have offered to the trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities it may incur.

U.S. Bank National Association is the trustee under the New ETO Indenture and has been appointed by ETO as registrar and paying agent with regard to the New ETO Notes. The trustee’s address is 8 Greenway Plaza, Suite 1100, Houston, Texas 77046. The trustee and its affiliates maintain commercial banking and other relationships with ETO.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Limited Partners and Members

The directors, officers, employees, limited partners and members of ETO, the General Partner and Energy Transfer Partners, L.L.C. will not have any personal liability for our obligations under the New ETO Indenture or the New ETO Notes. Each holder of New ETO Notes, by accepting a note, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the New ETO Notes.
