<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We were formed by The Williams Companies,&nbsp;Inc. (or The Williams Companies) in August&nbsp;2000 to own, operate and acquire a diversified portfolio of
complementary energy assets. We are principally engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products and ammonia. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
June&nbsp;17, 2003, Magellan Midstream Holdings, L.P. formerly WEG Acquisitions, L.P., a new entity recently formed by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC and Carlyle/Riverstone Global
Energy and Power Fund II, L.P., purchased from The Williams Companies all of the membership interests in our general partner and all of the Class&nbsp;B common units, common units and subordinated
units held by The Williams Companies and its affiliates. Effective September&nbsp;1, 2003, we changed our name to Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
principal executive offices are located in One Williams Center, P. O. Box 22186, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74121-2186 and our phone number is (877)&nbsp;934-6571. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Limited partner interests are inherently different from capital stock of a corporation, although many of the business risks to which we
are subject are similar to those that would be faced by a corporation engaged in a similar business. You should carefully consider the following risk factors together with all of the other information
included in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents we have incorporated by reference into this document in evaluating an investment in the common units.</I></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><I>If any of the following risks were actually to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that
case, the trading price of our common units could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.</I></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Risks Related to Our Business  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>We may not be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to allow us to pay the minimum quarterly distribution following establishment of cash
reserves and payment of fees and expenses, including payments to our general partner.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The amount of cash we can distribute on our common units principally depends upon the cash we generate from our operations. Because the cash we generate from
operations will fluctuate from quarter to quarter, we may not be able to pay the minimum quarterly distribution for each quarter. Our ability to pay the minimum quarterly distribution each quarter
depends primarily on cash flow, including cash flow from financial reserves and working capital borrowings, and not solely on profitability, which is affected by non-cash items. As a
result, we may make cash distributions during periods when we record losses and may not make cash distributions during periods when we record net income. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Potential future acquisitions and expansions, if any, may affect our business by substantially increasing the level of our indebtedness and contingent
liabilities and increasing our risk of being unable to effectively integrate these new operations.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From time to time, we evaluate and acquire assets and businesses that we believe complement our existing assets and businesses. Acquisitions may require
substantial capital or the incurrence of substantial indebtedness. If we consummate any future acquisitions, our capitalization and results of operations may change significantly, and you will not
have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial and other relevant information that we will consider in determining the application of these funds and other resources. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acquisitions
and business expansions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the assets and operations of the acquired businesses, inefficiencies and
difficulties that arise because of unfamiliarity with new assets and the businesses associated with them and new geographic areas and the diversion of management's attention from other business
concerns. Further, unexpected costs and challenges may arise whenever businesses with different operations or management are combined, and we may experience unanticipated delays in realizing the
benefits of an acquisition. Following an acquisition, we may discover previously unknown liabilities associated with the acquired business for which we have no recourse under applicable
indemnification provisions. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Our financial results depend on the demand for the refined petroleum products that we transport, store and distribute.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any sustained decrease in demand for refined petroleum products in the markets served by our pipeline and terminals could result in a significant reduction in the
volume of products that we transport in our pipeline, store at our marine terminal facilities and distribute through our inland </FONT></P>

<DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>an
increase in the market price of crude oil that leads to higher refined product prices, which may reduce demand for gasoline and other petroleum products. Market prices

<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>a

<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>higher
fuel taxes or other governmental or regulatory actions that increase the cost of gasoline;
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>an
increase in fuel economy, whether as a result of a shift by consumers to more fuel-efficient vehicles or technological advances by manufacturers; and
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>the
increased use of alternative fuel sources, such as fuel cells and solar, electric and battery-powered engines. Several state and federal initiatives mandate this
increased use. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>
<BR>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>When prices for the future delivery of petroleum products that we transport through our pipeline system or store in our marine terminals fall below
current prices, customers are less likely to store these products, thereby reducing our storage revenues.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This market condition is commonly referred to as "backwardation." When the petroleum product market is in backwardation, the demand for storage capacity at our
facilities may decrease. If the market becomes strongly backwardated for an extended period of time, it may affect our ability to pay cash distributions. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>We depend on petroleum product pipelines owned and operated by others to supply our terminals.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Most of our inland and marine terminal facilities that are not connected to the Magellan Pipeline, formerly known as the Williams Pipe Line, depend on connections
with petroleum product pipelines owned and operated by third parties. Reduced throughput on these pipelines because of testing, line repair, damage to pipelines, reduced operating pressures or other
causes could result in our being unable to deliver products to our customers from our terminals or receive products for storage and could adversely affect our ability to meet our financial obligations
and pay cash distributions. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Terrorist attacks aimed at our facilities could adversely affect our business.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;11, 2001, the United States was the target of terrorist attacks of unprecedented scale. Since the September&nbsp;11 attacks, the U.S.
government has issued warnings that energy assets, specifically our nation's pipeline infrastructure, may be future targets of terrorist organizations. These developments have subjected our operations
to increased risks. Any future terrorist attack on our facilities, those of our customers and, in some cases, those of other pipelines, could have a material adverse effect on our business. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Our business involves many hazards and operational risks, some of which may not be covered by insurance.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our operations are subject to many hazards inherent in the transportation of refined petroleum products and ammonia, including ruptures, leaks and fires. These
risks could result in substantial losses due to personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment and pollution or other environmental damage and may result
in curtailment or suspension of our related operations. We are not fully insured against all risks incident to our business. In addition, as a result of market conditions, premiums for our insurance
policies have increased substantially and could escalate further. In some instances, insurance could become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts </FONT></P>

coverage. For example, insurance carriers are now requiring broad exclusions for losses due to war risk and terrorist and sabotage acts. If a significant accident or event occurs that is not fully
insured, it could adversely affect our financial position or results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Rate regulation or a successful challenge to the rates we charge on the Magellan Pipeline system may reduce the amount of cash we generate.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or the FERC, regulates the tariff rates for the Magellan Pipeline system. Shippers may protest the pipeline system's
tariffs, and the FERC may investigate the lawfulness of new or changed tariff rates and order refunds of amounts collected under rates ultimately found to be unlawful. The FERC may also investigate
tariff rates that have become final and effective. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
FERC's ratemaking methodologies may limit our ability to set rates based on our true costs or may delay the use of rates that reflect increased costs. The FERC's primary ratemaking
methodology is price indexing. We use this methodology to establish our rates in approximately one-third of our interstate markets. The indexing method allows a pipeline to increase its
rates by a percentage equal to the change in the producer price index, or PPI. If the PPI falls, we could be required to reduce our rates that are based on the FERC's price indexing methodology if
they exceed the new maximum allowable rate. In addition, changes in the PPI might not be large enough to fully reflect actual increases in the costs associated with the pipeline. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
recent decisions involving unrelated pipeline limited partnerships, the FERC has ruled that these partnerships may not claim an income tax allowance for income attributable to
non-corporate limited partners. A shipper could rely on these decisions to challenge our indexed rates and claim that, because we now own the Magellan Pipeline system, the Magellan
Pipeline system's income tax allowance should be reduced. If the FERC were to disallow all or part of our income tax allowance, it may be more difficult to justify our rates. If a challenge were

would order a reduction in the indexed rates and could require reparations for a period of up to two years prior to the filing of a complaint. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
establish rates in approximately two-thirds of our markets using the FERC's market-based ratemaking regulations. These regulations allow us to establish rates based on
conditions in individual markets without regard to the index or our cost of service. If successfully challenged, the FERC could take away our ability to establish market-based rates. Any reduction in
the indexed rates, removal of our ability to establish market-based rates, or payment of reparations could have a material adverse effect on our operations and reduce the amount of cash we generate. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Mergers among our customers and competitors could result in lower volumes being shipped on our pipeline and/or products stored in our terminals, thereby
reducing the amount of cash we generate.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mergers between existing customers could provide strong economic incentives for the combined entities to utilize their existing systems instead of ours in those
markets where the systems compete. As a result, we could lose some or all of the volumes and associated revenues from these customers and we could experience difficulty in replacing those lost volumes
and revenues. Because most of our operating costs are fixed, a reduction in volumes would result in not only a reduction of revenues, but also a decline in net income and cash flow of a similar
magnitude, which would reduce our ability to meet our financial obligations and pay cash distributions. </FONT></P>

implemented through 2010. If refinery owners that use the Magellan Pipeline system determine that compliance with these new requirements is too costly, they may close some of these refineries, which

arising from our operations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, imposition of cleanup and site restoration

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You should read "Material Tax Consequences" for a more complete discussion of the expected federal income tax consequences related to owning and disposing of
common units. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Our tax treatment depends on our status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, as well as our not being subject to entity-level taxation by
states. If the IRS treats us as a corporation or we become subject to entity-level taxation for state tax purposes, it would reduce the amount of cash we could distribute.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The after-tax economic benefit of an investment in the common units depends largely on our being treated as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes. If we were classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, we would pay federal income tax on our income at the corporate rate. Some or all of the distributions made to
unitholders would be treated as dividend income, and no income, gains, losses or deductions would flow through to unitholders. Treatment of us as a corporation would cause a material reduction in our
cash flow, which would reduce our ability to meet our financial obligations and pay cash distributions. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, because of widespread state budget deficits, several states are evaluating ways to subject partnerships to entity-level taxation through the imposition of state income,
franchise or other forms of taxation. If any state were to impose a tax upon us as an entity, the cash available to pay distributions would be reduced. The partnership agreement provides that, if a
law is enacted or existing law is modified or interpreted in a manner that subjects us to taxation as a corporation or otherwise subjects us to entity-level taxation for federal, state or local income
tax purposes, then the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels will be decreased to reflect that impact on us. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Recent changes in federal income tax law could affect the value of our common units.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May&nbsp;28, 2003, the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 was signed into law, which generally reduces the maximum tax rate applicable to
corporate dividends to 15%. This reduction could materially affect the value of our common units in relation to alternative investments in corporate stock, as investments in corporate stock may be
more attractive to individual investors thereby exerting downward pressure on the market price of our common units. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>A successful IRS contest of the federal income tax positions we take may adversely impact the market for common units, and the costs of any contests
will be borne by our unitholders and our general partner.  </I></B></FONT></P>

taxable income. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you sell your common units, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and your tax basis in those common units. Prior
distributions in excess of the total net taxable income you were allocated for a common unit, which decreased your tax basis in that common unit, will, in effect, become taxable income to you if the
common unit is sold at a price greater than your tax basis in that common unit, even if the price you receive is less than your original cost. A substantial portion of the amount realized, whether or
not representing gain, may be ordinary income to you. Should the IRS successfully contest some positions we take, you could recognize more gain on the sale of units than would be the case under those
positions, without the benefit of decreased income in prior years. Also, if you sell your units, you may incur a tax liability in excess of the amount of cash you receive from the sale. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Tax-exempt entities, regulated investment companies and foreign persons face unique tax issues from owning common units that may result in
adverse tax consequences to them.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investment in common units by tax-exempt entities, such as individual retirement accounts (known as IRAs), regulated investment companies (known as
mutual funds) and foreign persons, raises issues unique to them. For example, virtually all of our income allocated to organizations exempt from federal income tax, including individual retirement
accounts and other retirement plans, will be unrelated business taxable income and will be taxable to them. Very little of our income will be qualifying income to a regulated investment company or
mutual fund. Distributions to foreign persons will be reduced by withholding taxes at the highest effective U.S. federal income tax rate for individuals, and foreign persons will be required to file
federal income tax returns and pay tax on their share of our taxable income. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>We are registered as a tax shelter. This may increase the risk of an IRS audit of us or a unitholder.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are registered with the IRS as a "tax shelter." Our tax shelter registration number is 01036000014. The IRS requires that some types of entities, including
some partnerships, register as "tax shelters" in response to the perception that they claim tax benefits that the IRS may believe to be unwarranted. As a result, we may be audited by the IRS and tax
adjustments could be made. Any unitholder owning less than a 1% profits interest in us has very limited rights to participate in the income tax audit process. Further, any adjustments in our tax
returns will lead to adjustments in our unitholders' tax returns and may lead to audits of unitholders' tax returns and adjustments of items unrelated to us. You will bear the cost of any expense
incurred in connection with an examination of your personal tax return. </FONT></P>

treatment, which could adversely affect the value of our common units.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because we cannot match transferors and transferees of common units, we adopt depreciation and amortization positions that do not conform with all aspects of
final Treasury regulations. A successful IRS challenge to those positions could adversely affect the amount of tax benefits available to you. It also could affect the timing of these tax benefits or
the amount of gain from your sale of common units and could have a negative impact on the value of the common units or result in audit adjustments to your tax returns. Please read "Material Tax

inheritance or intangible taxes that are imposed by the various jurisdictions in which we do business or own property, even if you do not reside in any of those jurisdictions. You will likely be
required to file state and local income tax returns and pay state and local income taxes in many or all of the jurisdictions. Further, you may be subject to penalties for failure to comply with those
requirements. It is your responsibility to file all United States federal, state and local tax returns. Our counsel has not rendered an opinion on the state or local tax consequences of an investment

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>General  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The common units represent limited partner interests that entitle the holders to participate in our cash distributions and to exercise the rights and privileges
available to limited partners under our partnership agreement. For a description of the relative rights and preferences of holders of common units, holders of subordinated units, holders of
Class&nbsp;B common units and our general partner in and to cash distributions, see "Cash Distribution Policy" in this prospectus. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
outstanding common units are listed in the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol "MMP." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
transfer agent and registrar for our common units is Bank of New York. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Status as Limited Partner or Assignee  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as described below under "&#151;Limited Liability," the common units will be fully paid, and unitholders will not be required to make additional
capital contributions to us. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Transfer of Common Units  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each purchaser of common units offered by this prospectus must execute a transfer application whereby the purchaser requests admission as a substituted limited
partner and makes representations and agrees to provisions stated in the transfer application. If this action is not taken, a purchaser will
not be registered as a record holder of common units on the books of our transfer agent or issued a common unit certificate. Purchasers may hold common units in nominee accounts. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An
assignee, pending its admission as a substituted limited partner, is entitled to an interest in us equivalent to that of a limited partner with respect to the right to share in
allocations and distributions, including liquidating distributions. Our general partner will vote and exercise other powers attributable to common units owned by an assignee who has not become a
substituted limited partner at the written direction of the assignee. Transferees who do not execute and deliver transfer applications will be treated neither as assignees nor as record holders of
common units and will not receive distributions, federal income tax allocations or reports furnished to record holders of common units. The only right the transferees will have is the right to
admission as a substituted limited partner in respect of the transferred common units upon execution of a transfer application in respect of the common units. A nominee or broker who has executed a
transfer application with respect to common units held in street name or nominee accounts will receive distributions and reports pertaining to its common units. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Limited Liability  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Assuming that a limited partner does not participate in the control of our business within the meaning of the Delaware Act and that he otherwise acts in
conformity with the provisions of our partnership agreement, his liability under the Delaware Act will be limited, subject to some possible exceptions, generally to the amount of capital he is
obligated to contribute to us in respect of his common units plus his share of any undistributed profits and assets. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the Delaware Act, a limited partnership may not make a distribution to a partner to the extent that at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, all
liabilities of the limited partnership, other than liabilities to partners on account of their partnership interests and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific property
of the partnership, exceed the fair value of the assets of the limited partnership. </FONT></P>

third parties to the extent necessary to maintain the percentage interests of our general partner and its affiliates equal to that which existed immediately prior to our issuance of such class of

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS B COMMON UNITS    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with our acquisition of Magellan Pipeline Company, formerly Williams Pipe Line Company, our general partner amended our partnership agreement to
create a new series of units designated as Class&nbsp;B common units. The Class&nbsp;B common units, together with our common units and subordinated units, represent limited partner interests in
us. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Distributions  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Magellan Midstream Holdings, as the holder of the Class&nbsp;B common units, has the same rights as the holders of our common units with respect to
distributions and allocations of income, gain, loss and deductions. However, during the period from April&nbsp;11, 2002 to November&nbsp;15, 2002, during which the short-term loan we
used to finance the acquisition of Magellan Pipeline Company was outstanding, the holder of the Class&nbsp;B common units did not receive distributions of any kind with respect to the Class&nbsp;B
common units. Upon our repayment in full of the short-term loan,
The Williams Companies, as the holder of the Class&nbsp;B common units at that time, received a distribution of available cash with respect to its Class&nbsp;B common units of $1.38 for each
Class&nbsp;B common unit, which was equal to the distributions of available cash that were paid or declared payable to the common units during the term of the short-term loan. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
by November&nbsp;12, 2003 the Class&nbsp;B common units have not converted into common units and remain outstanding, distributions are required to be made as though each
Class&nbsp;B common unit were 1.15 common units. The increase in distributions would be effective for the entire quarter in which this step-up period begins, and it would reduce the
amount of cash available to be distributed to the common unitholders. The purpose of the step-up in distributions is to compensate the holder of the Class&nbsp;B common units for
continuing to hold Class&nbsp;B common units for which there is no public market. The increase in distributions terminates upon the approval of our common unitholders to convert the Class&nbsp;B
common units into common units. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Dissolution and Liquidation  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Class&nbsp;B common units have the same rights as the common units upon our dissolution and liquidation, including the right to share in any liquidating
distributions. Accordingly, the amount of any liquidating distribution on each Class&nbsp;B common unit will equal 100% of the amount of such distribution on each common unit. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Voting Rights  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Class&nbsp;B common units have no voting rights, except with respect to amendments to our partnership agreement that would have a material adverse effect on
the rights or preferences of the Class&nbsp;B common unit in relation to other classes of partnership interests (including the common units, the subordinated units and the general partnership
interest). No Class&nbsp;B common unit is deemed outstanding for the purpose of determining any vote or quorum. However, if our general partner or any of its affiliates (including Magellan Midstream
Holdings) pledge any of the Class&nbsp;B common units as collateral to secure indebtedness and such collateral is transferred to the holders of such indebtedness as a result of a default with
respect to such indebtedness, each Class&nbsp;B common unit will have voting rights that are identical to the voting rights of the common units and will vote with the common units as a single class
on each matter with respect to which the common units are entitled to vote. In addition, the Class&nbsp;B common units are not entitled to vote and are not deemed outstanding for purposes of
determining a quorum with respect to matters in which the requisite vote is determined by NYSE listing rules. Each Class&nbsp;B common unit is entitled to one vote on each matter with respect to
which the Class&nbsp;B common units are entitled to vote. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The subordinated units represent a separate class of limited partner interests in us, and the rights of holders of subordinated units to participate in

available cash from operating surplus we distribute up to and including the corresponding amount in the column "Total Quarterly Distribution Target Amount," until available cash from operating surplus
we distribute reaches the next target distribution level, if any. The percentage interests shown for the unitholders and the general partner for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable
to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution. </FONT></P>

<DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2><I>Thereafter</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, we will make all distributions of available cash from capital surplus as if they were from operating surplus. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effect of a Distribution from Capital Surplus.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The partnership agreement treats a distribution of capital surplus as the
repayment of the unit price from our initial public offering, which is a return of capital. The initial public offering price less any distributions of capital surplus per unit is referred to as the
unrecovered initial unit price. Each time a distribution of capital surplus is made, the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels will be reduced in the same proportion as the
corresponding reduction in the unrecovered initial unit price. Because distributions of capital surplus will reduce the minimum quarterly distribution, after any of these distributions are made, it
may be easier for the general partner to receive incentive distributions and for the subordinated units to convert into common units. However, any distribution of capital surplus before the
unrecovered initial unit price is reduced to zero cannot be applied to the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution or any arrearages. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Once
we distribute capital surplus on a unit issued in this offering in an amount equal to the initial unit price, we will reduce the minimum quarterly distribution and the target
distribution levels to zero and we will make all future distributions from operating surplus, with 50% being paid to the holders of units, 48% to the holders of the incentive distribution rights and
2% to the general partner. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Adjustment to the Minimum Quarterly Distribution and Target Distribution Levels  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to adjusting the minimum quarterly distribution and target distribution levels to reflect a distribution of capital surplus, if we combine our units
into fewer units or subdivide our units into a greater number of units, we will proportionately adjust: </FONT></P>

<UL>
<DL compact>
<DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>the
minimum quarterly distribution;
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>target
distribution levels;
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>unrecovered
initial unit price;
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>the
number of common units issuable during the subordination period without a unitholder vote; and
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>the
number of common units into which a subordinated unit is convertible. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
example, if a two-for-one split of the common units should occur, the minimum quarterly distribution, the target distribution levels and the unrecovered
initial unit price would each be reduced to 50% of its initial level. We will not make any adjustment by reason of the issuance of additional units for cash or property. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, if legislation is enacted or if existing law is modified or interpreted in a manner that causes us to become taxable as a corporation or otherwise subject to taxation as an
entity for federal, state or local income tax purposes, we will reduce the minimum quarterly distribution and the target
distribution levels by multiplying the same by one minus the sum of the highest marginal federal corporate income tax rate that could apply and any increase in the effective overall state and local
income tax rates. For example, if we became subject to a maximum marginal federal, and effective state and local income tax rate of 38%, then the minimum quarterly distribution and the target
distributions levels would each be reduced to 62% of their previous levels. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Distributions of Cash Upon Liquidation  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If we dissolve in accordance with the partnership agreement, we will sell or otherwise dispose of our assets in a process called a liquidation. We will first
apply the proceeds of liquidation to the payment of our creditors. We will distribute any remaining proceeds to the unitholders and the general </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
allocations of gain and loss upon liquidation are intended, to the extent possible, to entitle the holders of outstanding common units and Class&nbsp;B common units to a preference
over the holders of outstanding subordinated units upon our liquidation, to the extent required to permit common unitholders and Class&nbsp;B common unitholders to receive their unrecovered initial
unit price plus the minimum quarterly distribution for the quarter during which liquidation occurs plus any unpaid arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution on the common units and
Class&nbsp;B common units. However, there may not be sufficient gain upon our liquidation to enable the holder of common units or Class&nbsp;B common units to fully recover all of these amounts,
even though there may be cash available for distribution to the holders of subordinated units. Any further net gain recognized upon liquidation will be allocated in a manner that takes into account
the incentive distribution rights of the general partner. </FONT></P>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This section does not comment on all federal income tax matters affecting us or the unitholders. Moreover, the discussion focuses on unitholders who are individual citizens or residents
of the United States and has only limited application to corporations, estates, trusts, nonresident aliens or other unitholders subject to specialized tax treatment, such as tax-exempt
institutions, foreign persons, individual retirement accounts (IRAs), real estate investment trusts (REITs) or mutual funds. Accordingly, we recommend that each prospective unitholder consult, and
depend on, his own tax advisor in analyzing the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences particular to him of the ownership or disposition of common units. </FONT></P>

opinions and statements made here 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 the common units and
the prices at which common units trade. In addition, the costs of any contest with the IRS will be borne directly or indirectly by the unitholders and the 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. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 unless the amount of cash distributed is in excess of the partner's adjusted basis in his partnership interest. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;7704
of the Internal Revenue Code provides that publicly-traded partnerships will, as a general rule, be taxed as corporations. However, an exception, referred to as the
"Qualifying Income Exception," exists with respect to publicly-traded partnerships of which 90% or more of the gross income for every taxable year consists of "qualifying income." Qualifying income
includes income and gains derived from the transportation, storage and processing of crude oil, natural gas and products thereof and fertilizer. Other types of qualifying income include interest
(other than from a financial business), dividends, gains from the sale of real property and gains from the sale or other disposition of assets held for the production of income that otherwise
constitutes qualifying income. We estimate that less than 8% of our current income is not qualifying income; however, this estimate could change from time to time. Based upon and subject to this

the Internal Revenue Code, its regulations, published revenue rulings and court decisions and the representations described below, Magellan Midstream Partners will be classified as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we fail to meet the Qualifying Income Exception, other than a failure which is determined by the IRS to be inadvertent and which is cured within a reasonable time after discovery, we
will be treated as if we had transferred all of our assets, subject to liabilities, to a newly formed corporation, on the first day of the year in which we fail to meet the Qualifying Income
Exception, in return for stock in that corporation, and then distributed that stock to the unitholders in liquidation of their interests in us. This contribution and liquidation should be
tax-free to unitholders and us so long as we, at that time, do not have liabilities in excess of the tax basis of our assets. Thereafter, we would be treated as a corporation for federal
income tax purposes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we were taxable as a corporation in any taxable year, either as a result of a failure to meet the Qualifying 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 the 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 either taxable dividend income, to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, or, in the absence of earnings and profits, a nontaxable return of
capital, to the extent of the unitholder's tax basis in his common units, or taxable capital gain, after the unitholder's tax basis in his common units is reduced to zero. Accordingly, taxation as a
corporation would result in a material reduction in a unitholder's cash flow and after-tax return and thus would likely result in a substantial reduction of the value of the units. </FONT></P>

there is no direct authority addressing assignees of common units who are entitled to execute and deliver transfer applications and become entitled to direct the exercise of attendant

units who does not execute and deliver a transfer application may not receive some federal income tax information or reports furnished to record holders of common units unless the common units are

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Flow-through of Taxable Income.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We will not pay any federal income tax. Instead, each unitholder will be required
to report on his income tax return his share of our income, gains, losses and deductions without regard to whether corresponding cash distributions are received by him. Consequently, we may allocate
income to a unitholder even if he has not received a cash distribution. Each unitholder will be required to include in income his allocable share of our income, gains, losses and deductions for our

be gain from the sale or exchange of the common units, taxable in accordance with the rules described under "&#151;Disposition of Common Units" below. Any reduction in a unitholder's share of
our liabilities for which no partner, including the general partner, bears the economic risk of loss, known as "nonrecourse liabilities," will be treated as a distribution of cash to that unitholder.
To the extent our distributions cause a unitholder's "at risk" amount to be less than zero at the end of any taxable year, he must recapture any losses deducted in previous years. Please read

decrease in a unitholder's percentage interest in us because of our issuance of additional common units will decrease his share of our nonrecourse liabilities, and thus will result in
a corresponding deemed distribution of cash. A non-pro rata distribution of money or property may result in ordinary income to a unitholder, regardless of his tax basis in his common
units, if the distribution reduces the unitholder's share of our "unrealized receivables," including depreciation recapture, and/or substantially appreciated "inventory items," both as defined in the
Internal Revenue Code, and collectively, "Section&nbsp;751 Assets." To that extent, he will be treated as having been distributed his proportionate share of the Section&nbsp;751 Assets and having
exchanged those assets with us in return for the non-pro rata portion of the actual distribution made to him. This latter deemed exchange will generally result in the unitholder's
realization of ordinary income. That income will equal the excess of (1)&nbsp;the non-pro rata portion of that distribution over (2)&nbsp;the unitholder's tax basis for the share of
Section&nbsp;751 Assets deemed relinquished in the exchange. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basis of Common Units.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A unitholder's initial tax basis for his common units will be the amount he paid for the common units
plus his share of our nonrecourse liabilities. That basis will be increased by his share of our income and by any increases in his share of our nonrecourse liabilities. That basis will be decreased,
but not below zero, by distributions from us, by the unitholder's share of our losses, by any decreases in his share of our nonrecourse liabilities and by his share of our expenditures that are not
deductible in computing taxable income and are not required to be capitalized. A unitholder will have no share of our debt which is recourse to the general partner, but will have a share, generally
based on his share of profits, of our nonrecourse liabilities. Please read "&#151;Disposition of Common Units&#151;Recognition of Gain or Loss." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Limitations on Deductibility of Losses.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The deduction by a unitholder of his share of our losses will be limited to the tax
basis in his units and, in the case of an individual unitholder or a corporate unitholder, if more than 50% of the value of the corporate unitholder's stock is owned directly or indirectly by five or
fewer individuals or some tax-exempt organizations, to the amount for which the unitholder is considered to be "at risk" with respect to our activities, if that is less than his tax basis.
A unitholder must recapture losses deducted in previous years to the extent that distributions cause his at risk amount to be less than zero at the end of any taxable year. Losses disallowed to a
unitholder or recaptured as a result of these limitations will carry forward and will be allowable to the extent that his tax basis or at risk amount, whichever is the limiting factor, is
subsequently increased. Upon the taxable disposition of a unit, any gain recognized by a unitholder can be offset by losses that were previously suspended by the at risk limitation but may not be
offset by losses suspended by the basis limitation. Any excess loss above that gain previously suspended by the at risk or basis limitations is no longer utilizable. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
general, a unitholder will be at risk to the extent of the tax basis of his units, excluding any portion of that basis attributable to his share of our nonrecourse liabilities,
reduced by any amount of money he borrows to acquire or hold his units, if the lender of those borrowed funds owns an interest in us, is related to the unitholder or can look only to the units for
repayment. A unitholder's at risk amount will increase or decrease as the tax basis of the unitholder's units increases or decreases, other than tax basis increases or decreases attributable to
increases or decreases in his share of our nonrecourse liabilities. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
passive loss limitations generally provide that individuals, estates, trusts and some closely-held corporations and personal service corporations can deduct losses from
passive activities, which are generally activities in which the taxpayer does not materially participate, only to the extent of the taxpayer's income from those passive activities. The passive loss
limitations are applied separately with respect to each publicly-traded partnership. Consequently, any 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 investments in other publicly-traded partnerships, or salary or active business
income. Passive losses that are not deductible because they exceed a unitholder's share of income we generate may be deducted in full when he disposes of his entire investment in us in a fully taxable
transaction with an unrelated party. The passive activity loss rules are applied after other applicable limitations on deductions, including the at risk rules and the basis limitation. </FONT></P>

connected with the production of investment income, but generally does not include gains attributable to the disposition of property held for investment. The IRS has indicated that net passive income
from a publicly-traded partnership constitutes investment income for purposes of the limitations on the deductibility of investment interest. In addition, the unitholder's share of our portfolio
income will be treated as investment income. </FONT></P>

behalf of any unitholder or the general partner or any former unitholder, we are authorized to pay those taxes from our funds. That payment, if made, will be treated as a distribution of cash to the
partner on whose behalf the payment was made. If the payment is made on behalf of a person whose identity cannot be determined, we are authorized to treat the payment as a distribution to all current
unitholders. We are authorized to amend the partnership agreement in the manner necessary to maintain uniformity of intrinsic tax characteristics of units and to adjust later distributions, so that
after giving effect to these distributions, the priority and characterization of distributions otherwise applicable under the partnership agreement is maintained as nearly as is practicable. Payments
by us as described above could give rise to an overpayment of tax on behalf of an individual partner in which event the partner would be required to file&nbsp;a claim in order to obtain a credit or

distributions to the subordinated units, or incentive distributions are made to the general partner, gross income will be allocated to the recipients to the extent of these distributions. If we have a
net loss for the entire year, that loss will be allocated first to the general partner and the unitholders in accordance with their percentage interests in us to the extent of their positive capital
accounts and, second, to the general partner. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Specified
items of our income, gain, loss and deduction will be allocated to account for the difference between the tax basis and fair market value of our assets at the time of an
offering, referred to in this discussion as "Contributed Property." The effect of these allocations to a unitholder purchasing common units in our offering will be essentially the same as if the tax
basis of our assets were equal to
their fair market value at the time of the offering. In addition, items of recapture income will be allocated to the extent possible to the partner who was allocated the deduction giving rise to the
treatment of that gain as recapture income in order to minimize the recognition of ordinary income by some unitholders. Finally, although we do not expect that our operations will result in the
creation of negative capital accounts, if negative capital accounts nevertheless result, items of our income and gain will be allocated in an amount and manner to eliminate the negative balance as
quickly as possible. </FONT></P>

position cannot reasonably be taken, we may take a depreciation or amortization position under which all purchasers acquiring units in the same month would receive depreciation or amortization,
whether attributable to common basis or a Section&nbsp;743(b) adjustment, based upon the same applicable rate as if they had purchased a direct interest in our assets. This kind of aggregate
approach may result in lower annual depreciation or amortization deductions than would otherwise be allowable to some unitholders. Please read "&#151;Tax Treatment of

Section&nbsp;754 election is advantageous if the transferee's tax basis in his units is higher than the units' share of the aggregate tax basis of our assets immediately prior to the
transfer. In that case, as a result of the election, the transferee would have, among other items, a greater amount of depreciation and depletion deductions and his share of any gain on a sale of our
assets would be less. Conversely, a Section&nbsp;754 election is disadvantageous if the transferee's tax basis in his units is lower than those units' 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. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 Internal Revenue Code. The IRS could seek to reallocate some or all of any Section&nbsp;743(b)
adjustment we allocated to
our tangible assets to goodwill instead. Goodwill, as an intangible asset, is generally 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. </FONT></P>

as noted below, gain or loss recognized by a unitholder, other than a "dealer" in units, on the sale or exchange of a unit held for more than one year will generally be taxable as
capital gain or loss. Capital gain recognized by an individual on the sale of units held more than 12&nbsp;months will generally be taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. A portion of this gain or loss,
which will likely be substantial, however, will be separately computed and taxed as ordinary income or loss under Section&nbsp;751 of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent attributable to assets
giving rise to depreciation recapture or other "unrealized receivables" or to "inventory items" we own. The term "unrealized receivables" includes potential recapture items, including depreciation
recapture. Ordinary income attributable to unrealized receivables, inventory items and depreciation recapture 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 and a capital loss upon a sale of units. Net capital loss may offset capital gains and
no more than $3,000 of ordinary income, in the case of individuals, and may only be used to offset capital gain in the case of corporations. </FONT></P>

IRS has ruled that a partner who acquires interests in a partnership in separate transactions must combine those interests and maintain a single adjusted tax basis for all those
interests. Upon a sale or other disposition of less than all of those interests, a portion of that tax basis must be allocated to the interests sold using an "equitable apportionment" method. Treasury
regulations 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, a common 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 regulations, 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 common units. A unitholder considering the purchase of additional 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. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

case of a unitholder reporting on a taxable year other than a fiscal year ending December&nbsp;31, the closing of our taxable year may result in more than 12&nbsp;months of our taxable income or
loss being includable in his taxable income for the year of termination. We would be required to make new tax elections after a termination, including a new election under Section&nbsp;754 of the
Internal Revenue Code, and a termination would result in a deferral of our deductions for depreciation. A termination could also result in penalties if we were unable to determine that the termination

depreciation and amortization deductions than would otherwise be allowable to some unitholders and risk the loss of depreciation and amortization deductions not taken in the year that these deductions
are otherwise allowable. This position will not be adopted if we determine that the loss of depreciation and amortization deductions will have a material adverse effect on the unitholders. If we

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employee
benefit plans and most other organizations exempt from federal income tax, including individual retirement accounts and other retirement plans, are subject to federal income tax
on unrelated business taxable income. Virtually all of our income allocated to a unitholder which is a tax-exempt organization will be unrelated business taxable income and will be taxable
to them. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
regulated investment company or "mutual fund" is required to derive 90% or more of its gross income from interest, dividends and gains from the sale of stocks or securities or foreign
currency or specified related sources. It is not anticipated that any significant amount of our gross income will include that type of income. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-resident
aliens and foreign corporations, trusts or estates that own units will be considered to be engaged in business in the United States because of the ownership of
units. As a consequence they will be required to file federal tax returns to report their share of our income, gain, loss or deduction and pay federal income tax at regular rates on their share of our
net income or gain. Under rules applicable to publicly traded partnerships, we will withhold tax, at the highest effective rate applicable to individuals, from cash distributions made quarterly to
foreign unitholders. Each foreign unitholder must obtain a taxpayer identification number from the IRS and submit that number to our transfer agent on a Form&nbsp;W-8BEN or applicable
substitute form in order to obtain credit for these withholding taxes. A change in applicable law may require us to change these procedures. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, because a foreign corporation that owns units will be treated as engaged in a United States trade or business, that corporation may be subject to the United States branch
profits tax at a rate of 30%, in addition to regular federal income tax, on its share of our income and gain, as adjusted for changes in the foreign corporation's "U.S. net equity," which are
effectively connected with the conduct of a United States 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 corporate unitholder is a "qualified resident." In addition, this type of unitholder is subject to special information reporting requirements under Section&nbsp;6038C of the Internal Revenue
Code. </FONT></P>

each calendar year, specific tax information, including a Schedule&nbsp;K-1, which
describes his share of our income, gain, loss and deduction for our preceding taxable year. In preparing this information, which will not be reviewed by counsel, we will take various accounting and
reporting positions, some of which have been mentioned earlier, to determine his 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 Internal Revenue Code, regulations or administrative interpretations of the IRS. Neither we nor counsel can assure prospective unitholders that the IRS will not successfully
contend in court that those positions are impermissible. Any challenge by the IRS could negatively affect the value of the units. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
IRS may audit our federal income tax information returns. Adjustments resulting from an IRS audit may require each unitholder to adjust a prior year's tax liability and possibly may
result in an audit of his own return. Any audit of a unitholder's return could result in adjustments not related to our returns as well as those related to our returns. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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. The Internal Revenue Code
requires that one partner be designated as the "Tax Matters Partner" for these purposes. The partnership agreement names Magellan GP, LLC as our Tax Matters Partner. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Tax Matters Partner will make some elections on our behalf and on behalf of unitholders. In addition, the Tax Matters Partner can extend the statute of limitations for assessment of
tax deficiencies against unitholders for items in our returns. The Tax Matters Partner may bind a unitholder with less than a 1% profits interest in us to a settlement with the IRS unless that
unitholder elects, by filing a statement with the IRS, not to give that authority to the Tax Matters Partner. The Tax Matters Partner may seek judicial review, by which all the unitholders are bound,
of a final partnership administrative adjustment and, if the Tax Matters Partner fails to seek judicial review, judicial review may be sought by any unitholder having at least a 1% interest in profits
or by any group of unitholders having in the aggregate at least a 5% interest in profits. However, only one action for judicial review will go forward, and each unitholder with an interest in the
outcome may participate. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
unitholder must file&nbsp;a statement with the IRS identifying the treatment of any item on his federal income tax return that is not consistent with the treatment of the item on our
return. Intentional or negligent disregard of this consistency requirement may subject a unitholder to substantial penalties. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Registration as a Tax Shelter.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Internal Revenue Code requires that "tax shelters" be registered with the Secretary of the
Treasury. It is arguable that we are not subject to the registration requirement on the basis that we will not constitute a tax shelter. However, we have registered as a tax shelter with the Secretary
of Treasury in the absence of assurance that we will not be subject to tax shelter registration and in light of the substantial penalties which might be imposed if registration is required and not
undertaken. Our tax shelter registration number is 01036000014. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Issuance
of this registration number does not indicate that investment in us or the claimed tax benefits have been reviewed, examined or approved by the IRS. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
unitholder who sells or otherwise transfers a unit in a later transaction must furnish the registration number to the transferee. The penalty for failure of the transferor of a unit to
furnish the registration number to the transferee is $100 for each failure. The unitholders must disclose our tax shelter registration number on Form&nbsp;8271 to be attached to the tax return on
which any deduction, loss or other benefit we generate is claimed or on which any of our income is included. A unitholder who fails to disclose the tax shelter registration number on his return,
without reasonable cause for that failure, will be subject to a $250 penalty for each failure. Any penalties discussed are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accuracy-related Penalties.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An additional tax equal to 20% of the amount of any portion of an underpayment of tax that is
attributable to one or more specified causes, including negligence or disregard of rules or regulations, substantial understatements of income tax and substantial valuation misstatements, is imposed
by the Internal Revenue Code. No penalty will be imposed, however, for any portion of an underpayment if it is shown that there was a reasonable cause for that portion and that the taxpayer acted in
good faith regarding that portion. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
substantial understatement of income tax in any taxable year exists if the amount of the understatement exceeds the greater of 10% of the tax required to be shown on the return for the
taxable year or $5,000 ($10,000 for most corporations). The amount of any understatement subject to penalty generally is reduced if any portion is attributable to a position adopted on the return: </FONT></P>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;More stringent rules apply to "tax shelters," a term that in this context does not appear to include us. If any item of income, gain, loss or deduction included in the distributive
shares of unitholders might result in that kind of an "understatement" of income for which no "substantial authority" exists, we must disclose the pertinent facts on our return. In addition, we will
make a reasonable effort to furnish sufficient information for unitholders to make adequate disclosure on their returns to avoid liability for this penalty. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
substantial valuation misstatement exists if the value of any property, or the adjusted basis of any property, claimed on a tax return is 200% or more of the amount determined to be
the correct amount of the valuation or adjusted basis. No penalty is imposed unless the portion of the underpayment attributable to a substantial valuation misstatement exceeds $5,000 ($10,000 for
most corporations). If the valuation claimed on a return is 400% or more than the correct valuation, the penalty imposed increases to 40%. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>State, Local and Other Tax Considerations  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to federal income taxes, you will be subject to other taxes, including state and local income taxes, unincorporated 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. We currently do business or own property in 26
states, most of which impose income taxes. We may also own property or do business in other states in the future. Although an analysis of those various taxes is not presented here, each prospective
unitholder is urged to consider their potential impact on his investment in us. You may not be required to file&nbsp;a return and pay taxes in some states because your income from that state falls
below the filing and payment requirement. You will be required, however, to file state income tax returns and to pay state income taxes in many of the states in which we do business or own property,
and you may be subject to penalties for failure to comply with those requirements. In some states, tax losses may not produce a tax benefit in the year incurred and also may not be available to offset
income in subsequent taxable years. Some of the states may require us, or we may elect, to withhold a percentage of income from amounts to be distributed to a unitholder who is not a resident of the
state. Withholding, the amount of which may be greater or less than a particular unitholder's income tax liability to the state, generally does not relieve a nonresident unitholder from the obligation
to file an income tax return. Amounts withheld may be treated as if distributed to unitholders for purposes of determining the amounts distributed by us. Please read "&#151;Tax Consequences of
Unit Ownership&#151;Entity-Level Collections." Based on current law and our estimate of our future operations, the general partner anticipates that any amounts required to be withheld will not
be material. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It
is the responsibility of each unitholder to investigate the legal and tax consequences, under the laws of pertinent states and localities, of his investment in us. Accordingly, we
strongly recommend that each prospective unitholder consult, and depend upon, his own tax counsel or other advisor with regard to those matters. Further, it is the responsibility of each unitholder to
file all state and local, as well as United States federal tax returns, that may be required of him. Vinson&nbsp;&amp; Elkins L.L.P. has not rendered an opinion on the state or local tax consequences of
an investment in us. </FONT></P>

offerings, creating a short position in the securities for their own accounts. For the purpose of covering a syndicate short position or stabilizing the price of the securities, the underwriters,
brokers or dealers may place bids for the securities or effect purchases of the securities in the open market. Finally, the underwriters may impose a penalty whereby selling concessions allowed to
syndicate members or other brokers or dealers for distribution of the securities in offerings may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in
transactions to cover short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities, which may be higher
than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market, and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;17-108 of the Delaware Revised 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. The partnership agreement of Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. provides that we will, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, indemnify and advance expenses to our general partner, any Departing Partner (as defined therein), any person who is or was an affiliate of our general partner, or any Departing Partner, any
person who is or was an officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of our general partner or any Departing Partner or any affiliate of our general partner, or any Departing Partner, or any
person who is or was serving at the request of our general partner, or any affiliate of our general partner or any Departing Partner or any affiliate of any Departing Partner as an officer, director,
employee, partner, agent or trustee of another person ("Indemnities") from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint or several), expenses (including legal fees and
expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any
Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as our general partner, Departing Partner or an affiliate of either, an officer, director,
employee, partner, agent or trustee of our general partner, any Departing Partner or affiliate of either or a person serving at the request of the partnership in another entity in a similar capacity,
provided that in each case the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the partnership. This
indemnification would under certain circumstances include indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, each Indemnitee would automatically be entitled to the advancement of
expenses in connection with the foregoing indemnification. Any indemnification under these provisions will be only out of the assets of the partnership. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Magellan
Midstream Partners, L.P. is authorized to purchase (or to reimburse our general partner for the costs of) insurance against liabilities asserted against and expenses incurred by
the persons described in the paragraph above in connection with their activities, whether or not they would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under the provisions
described in the paragraph above. The general partner of Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. has purchased insurance, the cost of which is reimbursed by Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P., subject to
certain limitations, covering its officers and directors against liabilities asserted and expenses incurred in connection with their activities as officers and directors of the general partner or any

controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Ladies

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have acted as counsel to Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "<U>Partnership</U>"), with respect to certain legal matters in
connection with the preparation of a registration
statement on Form&nbsp;S-3 (the "<U>Registration Statement</U>") to which this opinion is an exhibit. The Registration Statement relates to the offering from time
to time, as set forth in the form of prospectus contained therein (the "<U>Prospectus</U>"), of common units, Class&nbsp;B common units and subordinated units, each
representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (collectively, the "<U>Units</U>"), to be offered by the selling unitholder named in the Prospectus (the
"<U>Selling Unitholder</U>") on the terms to be determined at the time of the offering. The Units include 7,830,924 Class&nbsp;B common units (the "<U>Class&nbsp;B
Units</U>"), 5,679,694 subordinated units (the "<U>Subordinated Units</U>") and 14,590,312 common units (the "Common Units"), which includes 13,510,618 Common Units
issuable upon conversion of the Class&nbsp;B Units and the Subordinated Units. We have also participated in the preparation of the Prospectus. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined and relied upon (i)&nbsp;the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus; (ii)&nbsp;the Second Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, as amended by Amendment No.&nbsp;1 to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership and Amendment No.&nbsp;2 to the Second
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (as amended, the "Partnership Agreement") and (iii)&nbsp;such certificates, statutes and other instruments and documents as we consider
appropriate for purposes of the opinions hereafter expressed. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with this opinion, we have assumed that (i)&nbsp;the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments) will have become
effective; (ii)&nbsp;a Prospectus Supplement will have been prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission describing the Units offered thereby; (iii)&nbsp;all Units will be issued
and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the appropriate Prospectus Supplement; (iv)&nbsp;a definitive
purchase, underwriting or similar agreement with respect to any Units offered will have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Partnership, the Selling Unitholder and the other
parties thereto; and (v)&nbsp;any Units issuable upon conversion of any Unit being offered will be duly authorized, created and, if appropriate, reserved for issuance upon such conversion. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have acted as counsel for Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), with respect to certain legal matters in connection with the
registration by the Partnership under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of the offer and sale by the Partnership from time to time, pursuant to Rule&nbsp;415 under the
Securities Act, of common units, Class&nbsp;B common units and subordinated units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the "Units"). We have also participated in the
preparation of the Prospectus (the "Prospectus") contained in the Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-3 (the "Registration Statement") to which this opinion is an exhibit. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection therewith, we prepared the discussion set forth under the caption "Material Tax Consequences" in the Prospectus (the "Discussion"). Capitalized terms not defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All
statements of legal conclusions contained in the Discussion, unless otherwise noted, are our opinion with respect to the matters set forth therein as of the effective date of the
Registration Statement. In addition, we are of the opinion that the federal income tax discussion in the Registration Statement with respect to those matters as to which no legal conclusions are
provided is an accurate discussion of such federal income tax matters (except for the representations and statements of fact of the Partnership and its general partner, included in such discussion, as
to which we express no opinion). </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name in the Registration Statement. This consent does not constitute an
admission that we are "experts" within the meaning of such term as used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. </FONT></P>
