&#147;well-known seasoned issuer&#148; as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, using a &#147;shelf&#148; registration process. By using a shelf registration statement, we may sell securities from time to time and in one
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
with the additional information described under the heading &#147;Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference.&#148; </P>

prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectuses prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other
information that others may give you. We will not make an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus
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
prospectus incorporates by reference, and any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may contain and incorporate by reference, market data and industry statistics and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications and other
publicly available information. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information and we have not independently verified this information. In addition, the market and industry data
and forecasts that may be included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any applicable free writing prospectus may involve estimates, assumptions and other risks and uncertainties and are subject to change
based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; contained in this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in other
documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on this information. </P>

contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of our Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated November&nbsp;3, 2023, as amended. A copy of our
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
partnership agreement, as our partnership agreement, and not this description, governs our partnership interests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Purpose </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under our partnership agreement, we are permitted to engage, directly or indirectly, in any business activity that is approved by our general
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
would cause us to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise taxable as an entity for federal income tax purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Power of

general partner and, if appointed, a liquidator, a power of attorney to, among other things, execute and file documents required for our qualification, continuance or dissolution. The power of attorney also grants the authority to amend, and to make
consents and waivers under, our partnership agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Distributions </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to our partnership agreement, we make quarterly distributions of available cash to all unitholders and our general partner. Please see
&#147;Distribution Policy.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Reimbursement of Expenses </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our partnership agreement requires us to reimburse our general partner for all direct and indirect expenses it incurs or payments it makes on
our behalf and all other expenses allocable to us or otherwise incurred by our general partner in connection with operating our business. These expenses include salary, bonus, incentive compensation and other amounts paid to persons who perform
services for us or on our behalf and expenses allocated to our general partner by its affiliates. Our general partner is entitled to determine in good faith the expenses that are allocable to us. </P>

approval of any limited partners. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is possible that we will fund acquisitions through the issuance of additional common units or other

additional partnership securities, our general partner will have the right to make additional capital contributions to the extent necessary to maintain its then-current general partner interest in us; provided, however, that the capital
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
not have preemptive rights to acquire additional common units or other partnership securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of June&nbsp;3, 2024, we had
834,434,002 Class&nbsp;A units representing limited partner interests (the &#147;Class&nbsp;A units&#148;) outstanding. The Class&nbsp;A units vote together with our common units, as a single class, on any matter for which the holders of common
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>

distributions in liquidation made in accordance with capital account balances. The rights of holders of the existing preferred units to receive the liquidation preference will be subject to the rights of the holders of any senior securities and the
proportional rights of holders of the parity securities. A consolidation or merger of ET with or into any other entity, individually or in a series of transactions, will not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of ET&#146;s

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

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>

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

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

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This section is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to prospective common unitholders who are
individual citizens or residents of the United States and, unless otherwise noted in the following discussion, is the opinion of Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP, counsel to our general partner and us, insofar as it relates to legal conclusions with
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
relating to the offering of such units or securities. This section is based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), existing and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code (the
&#147;Treasury Regulations&#148;) and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change. Later changes in these authorities may cause the tax consequences to vary substantially from the consequences described
below. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this section to &#147;we&#148;, &#147;us&#148; or &#147;our&#148; are references to Energy Transfer LP and our operating subsidiaries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following discussion does not comment on all federal income tax matters affecting us or our common unitholders and does not describe the
application of the alternative minimum tax that may be applicable to certain Common unitholders. Moreover, the discussion focuses on common unitholders who are individual citizens or residents of the United States and has only limited application to
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
tax treatment, such as banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> institutions, foreign persons (including, without limitation, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign
investment companies and foreign persons eligible for the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty with the United States), individual retirement accounts (IRAs), real estate investment trusts (REITs) or mutual funds, dealers in securities or
currencies, traders in securities, U.S. persons whose &#147;functional currency&#148; is not the U.S. dollar, persons holding their units as part of a &#147;straddle,&#148; &#147;hedge,&#148; &#147;conversion transaction&#148; or other risk
reduction transaction, persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to our common units being taken into account in an applicable financial statement and persons deemed to sell their units
under the constructive sale provisions of the Code. In addition, the discussion only comments, to a limited extent, on state, local and foreign tax consequences. Accordingly, we encourage each prospective common unitholder to consult his own tax
advisor in analyzing the state, local and foreign tax consequences particular to him of the ownership or disposition of our common units and potential changes in applicable laws. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No ruling has been requested from the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) regarding our characterization as a partnership for tax
purposes. Instead, we will rely on opinions of Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP. Unlike a ruling, an opinion of counsel represents only that counsel&#146;s best legal judgment and does not bind the IRS or the courts. Accordingly, the opinions and
statements made herein may not be sustained by a court if contested by the IRS. Any contest of this sort with the IRS may materially and adversely impact the market for our common units, including the prices at which our common units trade. In
addition, the costs of any contest with the IRS, principally legal, accounting and related fees, will result in a reduction in cash available for distribution to our unitholders and our general partner and thus will be borne indirectly by our
unitholders and our general partner. Furthermore, the tax treatment of us, or of an investment in us, may be significantly modified by future legislative or administrative changes or court decisions. Any modifications may or may not be retroactively
applied. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All statements as to matters of U.S. federal income tax law and legal conclusions with respect thereto, but not as to factual
matters, contained in this section, unless otherwise noted, are the opinion of Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP and are based on the accuracy of the representations made by us and our general partner. </P>

&#147;&#151;Tax Consequences of Unit Ownership&#151;Treatment of Short Sales&#148;); (ii) whether all aspects of our monthly method for allocating taxable income and losses is permitted by existing Treasury Regulations (please read

Consequences of Unit Ownership&#151;Section&nbsp;754 Election&#148; and &#147;&#151;Uniformity of Units&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Partnership Status </B></P>
<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>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The IRS has made no determination as to our status or the status of our operating subsidiaries for federal income tax purposes. Instead, we
will rely on the opinion of Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP on such matters. It is the opinion of Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP that, based upon the Code, the Treasury Regulations, published revenue rulings and court decisions and the representations

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

or Loss.&#148; Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP is unable to opine as to whether our method for taking into account Section&nbsp;743 adjustments is sustainable for property subject to depreciation under Section&nbsp;167 of the Code or if we use an
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>

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>

transaction lacking economic substance or failing to meet the requirements of any similar rule of law. Except with respect to the disallowance of claimed tax benefits by reason of a transaction lacking economic substance or failing to meet the
requirements of any similar rule of law, however, no penalty will be imposed for any portion of any such underpayment if it is shown that there was a reasonable cause for the underpayment of that portion and that the taxpayer acted in good faith

business taxes, and estate, inheritance or intangible taxes that may be imposed by the various jurisdictions in which we do business or own property or in which you are a resident. Although an analysis of those various taxes is not presented here,
each prospective common unitholder should consider their potential impact on his investment in us. We currently own property or does business in many states. Several of these states impose a personal income tax on individuals; certain of these
states also impose an income tax on corporations and other entities. We may also own property or do business in other jurisdictions in the future. Although you may not be required to file a return and pay taxes in some jurisdictions because your
income from that jurisdiction falls below the filing and payment requirement, you will be required to file income tax returns and to pay income taxes in many of these jurisdictions in which we do business or own property and may be subject to
penalties for failure to comply with those requirements. In some jurisdictions, tax losses may not produce a tax benefit in the year incurred and may not be available to offset income in subsequent taxable years. Some of the jurisdictions may

Agreement&#148; beginning on page&nbsp;12 of this registration statement, we will generally indemnify our general partner, officers, directors and affiliates of our general partner to the fullest extent permitted by the law against all losses,
claims, damages or similar events; provided, that the indemnitee will not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-appealable</FONT> judgement entered by a court of competent jurisdiction
determining that, in respect of the matter for which the indemnitee is seeking indemnification, the indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, or in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the
indemnitee&#146;s conduct was unlawful. Subject to any terms, conditions or restrictions set forth in our partnership agreement, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;17-108</FONT> of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act
empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against all claims and demands whatsoever subject to such standards and restrictions as are set forth in our partnership agreement. </P>
