Schedule of Distributions Made To General and Limited Partners [Table Text Block]

As the holder of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P.’s IDRs, the Parent Company has historically been entitled to an increasing share of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P.’s total distributions above certain target levels. Following the Sunoco Logistics Merger, the Parent Company will continue to be entitled to such incentive distributions; however, the amount of the incentive distributions to be paid by ETP will be determined based on the historical incentive distribution schedule of Sunoco Logistics. The following table summarizes the target levels related to ETP’s distributions (as a percentage of total distributions on common units, IDRs and the general partner interest). The percentage reflected in the table includes only the percentage related to the IDRs and excludes distributions to which the Parent Company would also be entitled through its direct or indirect ownership of ETP’s general partner interest, Class I units and a portion of the outstanding ETP common units.



		Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions
	Total Quarterly Distribution Target Amount	IDRs	Partners ⁽¹⁾
Minimum Quarterly Distribution	$0.0750	—%	100%
First Target Distribution	up to $0.0833	—%	100%
Second Target Distribution	above $0.0833 up to $0.0958	13%	87%
Third Target Distribution	above $0.0958 up to $0.2638	35%	65%
Thereafter	above $0.2638	48%	52%

⁽¹⁾ Includes general partner and limited partner interests, based on the proportionate ownership of each.

Sunoco LP Quarterly Distributions of Available Cash

The following table illustrates the percentage allocations of available cash from operating surplus between Sunoco LP’s common unitholders and the holder of its IDRs based on the specified target distribution levels, after the payment of distributions to Class C unitholders. The amounts set forth under “marginal percentage interest in distributions” are the percentage interests of the IDR holder and the common unitholders in any available cash from operating surplus which Sunoco LP distributes up to and including the corresponding amount in the column “total quarterly distribution per unit target amount.” The percentage interests shown for common unitholders and IDR holder for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution. Effective July 1, 2015, ETE exchanged 21 million ETP common units, owned by ETE, the owner of ETP’s general partner interest, for 100% of the general partner interest and all of the IDRs of Sunoco LP. ETP had previously owned our IDRs since September 2014, prior to that date the IDRs were owned by Susser.
