specified on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, which will be the tenth business day following the date of this prospectus supplement. This settlement cycle is referred to as &#147;T+10.&#148; Under Rule
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">15c6-1</FONT> under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;), trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such
trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes prior to the date that is one business day preceding the settlement date, will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle T+10, to specify
an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of notes who wish to trade notes prior to the date that is one business day preceding the settlement date should consult their own advisors. </P>

offering, the concurrent offering (if consummated), the Recent Redemption Transactions and the application of the net proceeds as set forth under &#147;<I>Use of Proceeds</I>,&#148; we would have had total senior debt of $52.5 billion, total junior
subordinated debt of $1.8 billion, and we would have been able to incur an additional $5.0 billion of debt under our revolving credit facility. In addition, as of March&nbsp;31, 2024, our subsidiaries had an aggregate of approximately

the extent of the value of the assets securing that debt. The indenture will permit us to incur secured debt provided certain conditions are met. If we are declared bankrupt or insolvent, or are liquidated, the holders of our secured debt will be
entitled to be paid from our assets securing their debt before any payment may be made with respect to the notes. If any of the preceding events occur, we may not have sufficient assets to pay amounts due on our secured debt and the notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">None of our subsidiaries will guarantee the notes initially, and as a result, each series of notes will be structurally subordinated to the
claims of all creditors, including unsecured indebtedness, trade creditors and tort claimants, of those subsidiaries. In the event of the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or winding up of the business of any of our
subsidiaries, creditors of such subsidiaries would generally have the right to be paid in full before any distribution is made to us or the holders of the notes. As of March&nbsp;31, 2024, our subsidiaries had an aggregate of approximately

including in some cases secured indebtedness, that could effectively rank senior to the notes, and to engage in sale-leaseback arrangements, in each case, subject to certain limitations. Any of these actions could adversely affect our ability to

fluctuating into the future, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the notes. In general, as market interest rates rise, debt securities bearing interest at fixed rates of interest decline in value. Consequently, if you purchase
notes bearing interest at fixed rates of interest and market interest rates increase, the market value of those notes may decline. We cannot predict the future level of market interest rates. </P>

Redemption</I>.&#148; Any such redemption may occur when prevailing interest rates are lower than the rates borne by the notes. These redemption rights may, depending on prevailing market conditions at the time, create reinvestment risk for the
noteholders in that they may be unable to find a suitable replacement investment with a comparable return to those notes. If prevailing rates are lower at the time of redemption, noteholders may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a
comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the notes being redeemed. The redemption of the notes also may adversely affect noteholders&#146; ability to sell the notes if and at any time after the notes are
called for partial or full redemption. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Changes in our credit rating or outlook or in the rating assigned by a rating agency to the notes could

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect that the notes will be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating agencies. We cannot assure you that any rating assigned
will remain for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if, in that rating agency&#146;s judgment, circumstances relating to the basis of the rating, such as adverse changes in our
business, so warrant. Any lowering or withdrawal of a rating by a rating agency could reduce the liquidity or market value of the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks Related

participant in DTC. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests, in each case, on behalf of their participants through customers&#146; securities accounts in the names of Euroclear and Clearstream on the books of their respective depositaries,
which in turn will hold such interests in customers&#146; securities in the depositaries&#146; names on DTC&#146;s books. Payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other matters relating to the debt securities made through Euroclear or
Clearstream must comply with the rules and procedures of those systems. Those systems could change their rules and procedures at any time. We have no control over those systems or their participants, and we take no responsibility for their
activities. Transactions between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on one hand, and other participants in DTC, on the other hand, would also be subject to DTC&#146;s rules and procedures. Investors will be able to make and receive through
Euroclear and Clearstream payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other transactions involving any securities held through those systems only on days when those systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for
business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States. In addition, because of time-zone differences, U.S. investors who hold their interests in the debt securities through these systems and wish on a
particular day, to transfer their interests, or to receive or make a payment or delivery or exercise any other right with respect to their interests, may find that the transaction will not be effected until the next business day in Luxembourg or
Brussels, as applicable. Thus, investors who wish to exercise rights that expire on a particular day may need to act before the expiration date. In addition, investors who hold their interests through both DTC and Euroclear or Clearstream may need
to make special arrangements to finance any purchase or sales of their interests between the U.S. and European clearing systems, and those transactions may settle later than transactions within one clearing system. We have obtained the foregoing

applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of the notes. We cannot assure you that the IRS will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described herein, and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a

or more offerings as described in this prospectus. Each time that we offer and sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the securities being offered and sold and the
specific terms of that offering. We may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses to be provided to you that may contain material information relating to these offerings. The prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may also add,
update or change information contained in this prospectus with respect to that offering. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, you should rely on
the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, as applicable. Before purchasing any securities, you should carefully read both this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement (and any applicable free writing prospectuses), together

supplement to this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on its respective cover, that the information appearing in any applicable free writing prospectus is accurate only as of the date of that free writing prospectus, and that any information
incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference, unless we indicate otherwise. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. This

partnership agreement is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to our Current Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-K</FONT> filed with the SEC on November&nbsp;6, 2023, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. We urge you to read our

partner and that lawfully may be conducted by a limited partnership organized under Delaware law, provided that our general partner may not cause us to engage, directly or indirectly, in any business activity that our general partner determines

contributions of our general partner will be offset to the extent contributions received by us in exchange for the issuance of additional partnership securities are used by us concurrently with such contributions to redeem or repurchase from any
person outstanding partnership securities of the same class as the partnership securities that were issued. Moreover, our general partner will have the right, which it may from time to time assign in whole or in part to any of its affiliates, to
purchase common units or other partnership securities whenever, and on the same terms that, we issue those securities to persons other than our general partner and its affiliates, to the extent necessary to maintain its percentage interest,
including its interest represented by common units, that existed immediately prior to each issuance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The holders of our common units do

units are entitled to vote, except as required by law. Additionally, for so long as Kelcy Warren is an officer or a director of our general partner, upon the issuance by us of additional common units or any securities that have voting rights that
are pari passu with our common units, we will issue to the holder of Class&nbsp;A units a number of additional Class&nbsp;A units such that the holder maintains a voting interest in us that is identical to its voting interest in us prior to such
issuance. The Class&nbsp;A units are not entitled to distributions and otherwise have no economic attributes, except that the Class&nbsp;A units in the aggregate will be entitled to an aggregate $100 distribution prior and in preference to any
distribution of assets to the holders of any other classes or series of our securities upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Class&nbsp;A units are not convertible into, or exchangeable for, common units. In addition to the other
voting rights of the Class&nbsp;A units, without the approval of 66 2/3% of the Class&nbsp;A units, we may not take any action that disproportionately or materially adversely affects the rights, preferences or privileges of the Class&nbsp;A units or
amend the terms of the Class&nbsp;A units. Without the prior approval of a conflicts committee of the board of directors of our general partner, the Class&nbsp;A units may not be transferred to any person or entity, other than to Kelcy Warren, Ray
Davis or to any trust, family partnership or family limited liability company the sole beneficiaries, partners or members of which are Kelcy Warren, Ray Davis or their respective relatives. </P>

of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants&#146; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates.
&#147;Direct participants&#148; in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp;
Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated
subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules
applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through
direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a beneficial owner, is in turn recorded on the direct and
indirect participants&#146; records. Beneficial owners of securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of their transactions,
as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which they purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities 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 interests in the global securities, except under the limited circumstances described below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To facilitate subsequent transfers, all global securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the name of
DTC&#146;s partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other nominee
will not change the beneficial ownership of the securities. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are
credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </P>

in respect of the securities and the indenture may be delivered to us and where certificated securities may be surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the securities of a particular series are being redeemed, DTC&#146;s practice is

owner of such securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If securities are issued in definitive certificated form under the limited circumstances described below and unless if otherwise provided in the description of the applicable
securities herein or in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will have the option of making payments by check mailed to the addresses of the persons entitled to payment or by wire transfer to bank accounts in the United States designated in
writing to the applicable trustee or other designated party at least 15 days before the applicable payment date by the persons entitled to payment, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the applicable trustee or other designated party. </P>

be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit direct participants&#146; accounts upon DTC&#146;s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us on the payment date in accordance with their
respective holdings shown on DTC records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered
in &#147;street name.&#148; Those payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend
payments to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility, disbursement of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to
the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except under the limited circumstances described below,
purchasers of securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names and will not receive physical delivery of securities. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants to exercise
any rights under the securities and the indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take

respect to matters of U.S. federal income tax law. A description of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of preferred units and debt securities will be set forth in a prospectus supplement

corporations, estates, entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, trusts, nonresident aliens, U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States or other unitholders subject to specialized

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A partnership is not a taxable entity and incurs no federal income tax liability. Instead, each partner of a partnership is required to take
into account his share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing his federal income tax liability, regardless of whether cash distributions are made to him by the partnership. Distributions by a partnership to a
partner are generally not taxable to the partnership or the partner unless the amount of cash distributed to him is in excess of the partner&#146;s adjusted basis in his partnership interest. Section&nbsp;7704 of the Code provides that publicly
traded partnerships will, as a general rule, be taxed as corporations. However, an exception, referred to as the &#147;Qualifying Income Exception,&#148; exists with respect to publicly traded partnerships of which 90% or more of the gross income
for every taxable year consists of &#147;qualifying income.&#148; Qualifying income includes income and gains derived from the transportation and processing of certain minerals and natural resources, including crude oil, natural gas and other
products of a type that are produced in a petroleum refinery or natural gas processing plant, the retail and wholesale marketing of propane, the transportation of propane and natural gas liquids, certain related hedging activities, certain
activities that are intrinsic to other qualifying activities, and our allocable share of our subsidiaries&#146; income from these sources. Other types of qualifying income include interest (other than from a financial business), dividends, real
property rents, gains from the sale of real property and gains from the sale or other disposition of capital assets held for the production of income that otherwise constitutes qualifying income. We estimate that less than 3% of our current gross
income is not qualifying income; however, this estimate could change from time to time. Based upon and subject to this estimate, the factual representations made by us and our general partner and a review of the applicable legal authorities,
Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP is of the opinion that at least 90% of our current gross income constitutes qualifying income. The portion of our income that is qualifying income may change from time to time. </P>

for stock in that corporation, and then distributed that stock to the unitholders in liquidation of their interests in us. This deemed contribution and liquidation should be <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> to unitholders and us so

Income Exception or otherwise, our items of income, gain, loss and deduction would be reflected only on our tax return rather than being passed through to our unitholders, and our net income would be taxed to us at corporate rates. In addition, any
distribution made to a unitholder would be treated as taxable dividend income, to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, or, in the absence of earnings and profits, a nontaxable return of capital, to the extent of the
unitholder&#146;s tax basis in his common units, or taxable capital gain, after the unitholder&#146;s tax basis in his common units is reduced to zero. Accordingly, taxation as a corporation would result in a material reduction in a

losses from passive activities, which are generally trade or business activities in which the taxpayer does not materially participate, only to the extent of the taxpayer&#146;s income from those passive activities. The passive loss limitations are
applied separately with respect to each publicly traded partnership. Consequently, any passive losses we generate will only be available to offset our passive income generated in the future and will not be available to offset income from other
passive activities or investments, including our investments or a unitholder&#146;s investments in other publicly traded partnerships, or the unitholder&#146;s salary, active business or other income. Passive losses that are not deductible because

qualified business income or capital losses) over the aggregate gross income or gain of such taxpayer for the taxable year that is attributable to such trades or businesses (subject to certain limitations in the case of capital gains) plus a
threshold amount. The current threshold amount is equal to $305,000, or $610,000 for taxpayers filing a joint return, and the threshold amount is adjusted annually. Any losses disallowed in a taxable year due to the excess business loss limitation
may be used by the applicable unitholder in the following taxable year if certain conditions are met. Unitholders to which this excess business loss limitation applies will take their allocable share of our items of income, gain, loss and deduction
into account in determining this limitation. This excess business loss limitation will be applied to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> unitholder after the passive loss limitations and may limit such unitholders&#146; ability
to utilize any losses we generate allocable to such unitholder that are not otherwise limited by the basis, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">at-risk</FONT> and passive loss limitations described above. </P>

aggregate approach as described above, as there is no direct or indirect controlling authority addressing the validity of these positions. Moreover, the IRS may challenge our position with respect to depreciating or amortizing the
Section&nbsp;743(b) adjustment we take to preserve the uniformity of the units. If such a challenge were sustained, the gain from the sale of units might be increased without the benefit of additional deductions. </P>

depreciation under Section&nbsp;168(k) to the extent the adjustment is attributable to depreciable property and not to goodwill or real property. However, because we may not be able to determine whether transfers of our units satisfy all of the
eligibility requirements and due to other limitations regarding administrability, we may elect out of the bonus depreciation provisions of Section&nbsp;168(k) with respect to basis adjustments under Section&nbsp;743(b). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A Section&nbsp;754 election is advantageous if the transferee&#146;s tax basis in his units is higher than the units&#146; share of the
aggregate tax basis of our assets immediately prior to the transfer. Conversely, a Section&nbsp;754 election is disadvantageous if the transferee&#146;s tax basis in his units is lower than those units&#146; share of the aggregate tax basis of our
assets immediately prior to the transfer. Thus, the fair market value of the units may be affected either favorably or unfavorably by the election. A basis adjustment is required regardless of whether a Section&nbsp;754 election is made in the case
of a transfer of an interest in us if we have a substantial <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">built-in</FONT> loss immediately after the transfer. Generally, a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">built-in</FONT> loss is substantial if (i)&nbsp;it
exceeds $250,000 or (ii)&nbsp;the transferee would be allocated a net loss in excess of $250,000 on a hypothetical sale of our assets for their fair market value immediately after a transfer of the interests at issue. In addition, a basis adjustment
is required regardless of whether a Section&nbsp;754 election is made if we distribute property and have a substantial basis reduction. A substantial basis reduction exists if, on a liquidating distribution of property to a unitholder, there would
be a negative basis adjustment to our assets in excess of $250,000 if a Section&nbsp;754 election were in place. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The calculations
involved in the Section&nbsp;754 election are complex and will be made on the basis of assumptions as to the value of our assets and other matters. For example, the allocation of the Section&nbsp;743(b) adjustment among our assets must be made in
accordance with the Code. The IRS could seek to reallocate some or all of any Section&nbsp;743(b) adjustment allocated by us to our tangible assets to goodwill instead. Goodwill, as an intangible asset, is generally nonamortizable or amortizable
over a longer period of time or under a less accelerated method than our tangible assets. We cannot assure you that the determinations we make will not be successfully challenged by the IRS and that the deductions resulting from them will not be
reduced or disallowed altogether. Should the IRS require a different basis adjustment to be made, and should, in our opinion, the expense of compliance exceed the benefit of the election, we may seek permission from the IRS to revoke our
Section&nbsp;754 election. If permission is granted, a subsequent purchaser of units may be allocated more income than he would have been allocated had the election not been revoked. </P>

attributable to unrealized receivables and inventory items may exceed net taxable gain realized upon the sale of a unit and may be recognized even if there is a net taxable loss realized on the sale of a unit. Thus, a unitholder may recognize both

Ordinary income recognized by a unitholder on disposition of our common units may be reduced by such unitholder&#146;s deduction for qualified business income. Both ordinary income and capital gain recognized on a sale of units may be subject to the

of that tax basis must be allocated to the interests sold using an &#147;equitable apportionment&#148; method, which generally means that the tax basis allocated to the interest sold equals an amount that bears the same relation to the
partner&#146;s tax basis in his entire interest in the partnership as the value of the interest sold bears to the value of the partner&#146;s entire interest in the partnership. Treasury Regulations under Section&nbsp;1223 of the Code allow a
selling unitholder who can identify common units transferred with an ascertainable holding period to elect to use the actual holding period of the common units transferred. Thus, according to the ruling discussed above, a unitholder will be unable
to select high or low basis common units to sell as would be the case with corporate stock, but, according to the Treasury Regulations, he may designate specific common units sold for purposes of determining the holding period of units transferred.
A unitholder electing to use the actual holding period of common units transferred must consistently use that identification method for all subsequent sales or exchanges of units. A unitholder considering the purchase of additional common units or a
sale of common units purchased in separate transactions is urged to consult his tax advisor as to the possible consequences of this ruling and application of the Treasury Regulations. </P>

corporation&#146;s &#147;U.S. net equity,&#148; that is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business. That tax may be reduced or eliminated by an income tax treaty between the United States and the country in which the foreign

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A foreign unitholder who sells or otherwise disposes of a common unit will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized from the
sale or disposition of that unit to the extent the gain is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the foreign unitholder. Gain on the sale or disposition of a common unit will be treated as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or
business to the extent that a foreign unitholder would recognize gain effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business upon the hypothetical sale of our assets at fair market value on the date of the sale or exchange of that unit. Such gain shall

benefits to employees, do not have a single participant or beneficiary that is entitled to more than 5% of the assets or income of the entity or arrangement and are subject to certain preferential tax treatment under the laws of the applicable

during the five-year period ending on the date of such disposition and (ii) 50% or more of the fair market value of all of our assets consisted of U.S. real property interests at any time during the shorter of the period during which such unitholder
held the common units or the five-year period ending on the date of disposition. Currently, more than 50% of our assets consist of U.S. real property interests and we do not expect that to change in the foreseeable future. </P>

the IRS have issued final regulations providing guidance on the application of these rules for transfers of certain publicly traded partnership interests, including transfers of our common units. Under these regulations, the &#147;amount
realized&#148; on a transfer of our common units will generally be the amount of gross proceeds paid to the broker effecting the applicable transfer on behalf of the transferor, and such broker will generally be responsible for the relevant
withholding obligations. Distributions made to our unitholders may also be subject to withholding under these rules to the extent a portion of a distribution is attributable to an amount in excess of our cumulative net income that has not previously

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We intend to furnish to each unitholder, within 90 days after the close of each calendar year, specific tax information, including a Schedule <FONT

reporting positions, some of which have been mentioned earlier, to determine each unitholder&#146;s share of income, gain, loss and deduction. We cannot assure you that those positions will yield a result that conforms to the requirements of the
Code, Treasury Regulations or administrative interpretations of the IRS. Neither we nor Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP can assure prospective common unitholders that the IRS will not successfully contend in court that those positions are

information returns. Adjustments resulting from an IRS audit may require each unitholder to adjust a prior year&#146;s tax liability, and possibly may result in an audit of his return. Any audit of a unitholder&#146;s return could result in
adjustments not related to our returns as well as those related to our returns. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Partnerships generally are treated as separate entities
for purposes of federal tax audits, judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS and tax settlement proceedings. The tax treatment of partnership items of income, gain, loss and deduction are determined in a partnership proceeding rather
than in separate proceedings with the partners. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A unitholder must file a statement with the IRS identifying the treatment of any item on

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, if the IRS makes audit adjustments to our income tax returns, it may assess and collect any
taxes (including any applicable penalties and interest) resulting from such audit adjustment directly from us. Similarly, for such taxable years, if the IRS makes audit adjustments to income tax returns filed by an entity in which we are a member or
a partner, it may assess and collect any taxes (including penalties and interest) resulting from such audit adjustment directly from such entity. Generally, we expect to elect to have our general partner and our unitholders take any such audit
adjustment into account in accordance with their interests in us during the taxable year under audit, but there can be no assurance that such election will be effective in all circumstances. If we are unable to have our general partner and our
unitholders take such audit adjustment into account in accordance with their interests in us during the tax year under audit, our current unitholders may bear some or all of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustment, even if such
unitholders did not own our units during the tax year under audit. If, as a result of any such audit adjustment, we are required to make payments of taxes, penalties and interest, our cash available for distribution to our common unitholders might
be substantially reduced. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additionally, pursuant to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, we are required to designate a partner, or other

federal income tax audits and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS. If we do not make such a designation, the IRS can select any person as the Partnership Representative. We have designated our general partner as our Partnership
Representative. Further, any actions taken by us or by the Partnership Representative on our behalf with respect to, among other things, U.S. federal income tax audits and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, will be binding on
