automatically convert into one of our common units and (b)&nbsp;the issuance of additional common units upon such conversion (together, the &#147;Conversion Proposal&#148;). Upon approval of this proposal, all 83,148,900 outstanding class C units

in Energy Transfer Partners GP, L.P. (&#147;ETP GP&#148;) to us in exchange for our issuance to ETI of 83,148,900 of our class C units and our assumption of approximately $70.5 million of ETI&#146;s indebtedness. The class C units are not
convertible into common units until such conversion is approved by our common unitholders. We are now asking you to approve this conversion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

common units personally if you attend the special meeting. For the Conversion Proposal to be approved, it must have the support of a majority of the common units voted at the special meeting. The class C units are not eligible to vote for the
Conversion Proposal. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We urge you to review carefully the attached proxy statement, which contains a detailed description of the proposals

that date if approved pursuant to a proxy statement filed with the SEC prior to that date), the class C units will be entitled to receive 115% of the amount of distributions paid to the common units, with the class C units having the same order of
priority as that of common units. This increased distribution on the class C units will reduce the amount of cash available to be distributed to the common unitholders. At the current distribution level, this amount is approximately $17 million per
year. The class C units will not convert into common units unless the conversion is approved by the common unitholders or there is a change in the rules of the New York Stock Exchange allowing such conversion without the approval of the common

SIZE="2">Our primary business objective is to increase our cash distributions to our unitholders by actively assisting ETP in executing its business strategy by assisting in identifying, evaluating, and pursuing acquisitions and growth
opportunities. We expect that we will allow ETP the first opportunity to pursue any acquisition or internal growth project that may be presented to us which is within the scope of ETP&#146;s operations or business strategy. In the future, we may
also support the growth of ETP through the use of our capital resources, which could involve loans, capital contributions or other forms of credit support to ETP. This funding could be used for the acquisition by ETP of a business or asset or for an
internal growth project. In addition, the availability of this capital could assist ETP in arranging financing for a project, reducing its financing costs or otherwise supporting a merger or acquisition transaction. </FONT></P>  <P

units and ETI&#146;s rights under the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of the class C units. In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of our general partner to approve the Conversion
Proposal, you should be aware that two directors who are recommending the proposal are former limited partners of ETI and hold class C units as a result of ETI&#146;s dissolution. In addition, four directors (including John W. McReynolds, President
and Chief Financial Officer of our general partner) hold interests in FIM Group, L.P., Natural Gas Partners VI, L.P. or FHM Investments, LLC, each of which is a holder of class C units. The decision to enter into the November 2006 transaction with
ETI and issue the class C units was evaluated and approved by a committee of independent directors. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If the Conversion Proposal is
approved, the class C unitholders will receive common units and the class C units will be cancelled. The common units will be listed on the NYSE and will therefore be a more liquid security than the class C units, but will be entitled to no greater
distributions than those paid on our other common units. Neither the class C unitholders nor our other unitholders will receive any additional securities or other consideration if the Conversion Proposal is approved. </FONT></P> <P
