GENERAL TERMS OF THE NOTES

SECTION 2.1 Form.

The Notes and the Trustee’s certificates of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this First Supplemental Indenture, which is hereby incorporated into this First Supplemental Indenture. The terms and provisions contained in the Note shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this First Supplemental Indenture and to the extent applicable, the Partnership and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

The Notes shall be issued upon original issuance in whole in the form of one or more Global Notes substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.3 hereof.

The Notes are designated as Rule 144A Securities under the Indenture and the provisions of Section 403(b) of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

Partnership initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

SECTION 2.2 Title, Amount and Payment of Principal and Interest.

The Notes shall be entitled the “Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2066”. The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes for original issue on the date hereof (the “Original Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $545,531,000, and (ii) additional Notes for original issue from time to time after the date hereof in such principal amounts as may be specified in a Partnership Order described in this sentence, in each case upon a Partnership Order for the authentication and delivery thereof and satisfaction of the other provisions of Section 204 of the Base Indenture. Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, and the name or names of the initial Holder or Holders. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be outstanding at any time may not exceed $600,000,000 plus such additional principal amounts as may be issued and authenticated pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph (except as provided in Section 209 of the Base Indenture). The Original Notes and any additional Notes issued and authenticated pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph shall constitute a single series of Debt Securities for all purposes under the Indenture.

The principal amount of each Note shall be payable on November 1, 2066. The Notes shall bear interest from the date of original issuance, or the most recent date to which interest has been paid, at the Three-Month LIBOR Rate plus 3.0175% per annum, reset quarterly on the LIBOR Determination Dates (the “Coupon Rate”) and will bear interest on any overdue principal at the then prevailing Coupon Rate and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the then prevailing Coupon Rate (“Additional Interest”), compounded quarterly, payable (subject to the provisions of Article IV) quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2013 (the “Interest Payment Dates”) to the Person in whose name such Note is registered, subject to certain exceptions, at the close of business on the January 15, April 15, July 15 or October 15, as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date). If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment will be made on the next

Business Day and no interest will accrue on the amount of interest due on that Interest Payment Date for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date to the date of payment, except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, interest will be payable on the immediately preceding Business Day. The interest rate in effect on any LIBOR Determination Date will be the applicable rate as reset on that date and the interest rate applicable to any other day will be the interest rate as reset on the immediately preceding LIBOR Determination Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

“Three-month LIBOR” means, with respect to any interest period, the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period commencing on the first day of that interest period that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Determination Date for that interest period. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Page LIBOR01, three- month LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period commencing on the first day of that interest period and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with us, at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Determination Date for that interest period. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of these banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, three- month LIBOR with respect to that floating-rate interest period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 0.00001%) of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, three-month LIBOR with respect to that interest period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 0.00001%) of the rates quoted by three major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with us, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first day of that interest period for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a three-month period commencing on the first day of that interest period and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000. However, if fewer than three banks selected by the Calculation Agent to provide quotations are quoting as described above, three-month LIBOR for that interest period will be the same as three-month LIBOR as determined for the previous interest period or, in the case of the interest period beginning on June 24, 2013, 3.29%. The establishment of three-month LIBOR for each interest period by the Calculation Agent will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding.

“LIBOR Determination Date” means the second London banking day (as defined below) immediately preceding the first day of the relevant interest period.

“Reuters Page LIBOR01” means the display so designated on the Reuters 3000 Xtra (or such other page as may replace that page on that service, or such other service as may be nominated by us as the information vendor, for the purpose of displaying rates or prices comparable to the London Interbank Offered Rate for U.S. dollar deposits ).

The “Calculation Agent” shall be the agent appointed by the Partnership to calculate the Coupon Rate and will initially be U.S. Bank National Association. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the Coupon Rate in accordance with the foregoing. On or before each Calculation Date (as defined below), the Calculation Agent will determine the interest rate and notify the Paying Agent. The “Calculation Date” pertaining to any LIBOR Determination Date will be the earlier

of (i) the tenth calendar day after such LIBOR Determination Date, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Absent manifest error, all determinations of the Calculation Agent shall be conclusive for all purposes and final and binding on the Partnership and the Holders of the Notes, without any liability on the part of the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent shall, in its reasonable discretion, make all calculations and determinations regarding the Coupon Rate applicable to the Notes and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have the duty to verify determinations of the Coupon Rates made by the Calculation Agent. The Holder of this Note will not be entitled to any compensation from the Partnership for any loss suffered as a result of any determination of the Coupon Rate by the Calculation Agent.

SECTION 2.3 Transfer and Exchange.

(a)Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes shall be exchanged by the Partnership for Definitive Notes, in minimum denominations of $1,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, if:

(i) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Partnership shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of a Partnership Order in accordance with Section 204 of the Base Indenture or at the Registrar’s request.

(2) No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Partnership may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 212, 307, 309 and 905 of the Base Indenture).

(3) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Partnership, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(5) Neither the Registrar nor the Partnership shall be required:

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.1 Optional Redemption.

(a) The Notes are redeemable, at the option of the Partnership, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided that if the Notes are not redeemed in whole, at least $25 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, excluding any Notes held by the Partnership or any of its affiliates, must remain outstanding after giving effect to such redemption.

(b) The actual Redemption Price, determined as provided in Section 3.1(a), shall be calculated and certified to the Trustee and the Partnership by the Independent Investment Banker.

(c) The Partnership shall have no obligation to redeem, purchase or repay the Notes pursuant to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a Holder thereof.

ARTICLE IV

OPTION TO DEFER INTEREST PAYMENTS

SECTION 4.1 Option to Defer Interest Payments.

So long as there is no Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the Notes that is continuing, the Partnership may defer interest payments on the Notes for a period of up to 10 consecutive years (each period, commencing on the date that the first such interest payment would otherwise have been made, an “Optional Deferral Period”), except that no such Optional Deferral Period may extend beyond the Stated Maturity or redemption date, if earlier, of the Notes and the Partnership may not begin a new Optional Deferral Period until it has paid all accrued interest on the Notes from the previous Optional Deferral Period. A deferral of interest payments may not extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the Notes, and the Company may not begin a new Optional Deferral Period until it has paid all accrued interest on the Notes from the previous Optional Deferral Period. During the Optional Deferral Period, the interest on the Notes will continue to accrue at the Three-Month LIBOR Rate plus 301.75 basis points (3.0175%) reset quarterly. In addition, Additional Interest on any deferred interest will accrue at a rate equal to the Coupon Rate then applicable to the Notes, compounded quarterly, to the extent permitted by law.

Before the end of any Optional Deferral Period that is shorter than 10 consecutive years, the Partnership may extend the Optional Deferral Period, so long as the entire Optional Deferral Period does not exceed 10 consecutive years or extend beyond the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, if earlier, of the Notes. The Partnership may also elect to shorten the length of any Optional Deferral Period. No Optional Deferral Period (including as extended or shortened) may end on a day other than the last day of a scheduled quarterly Interest Payment Period. At the end of any Optional Deferral Period, if all amounts then due on the Notes, including any Additional Interest, have been paid, the Partnership may elect to begin a new Optional Deferral Period.

SECTION 4.2 Notice of Deferral.

The Partnership will give the holders of the Notes and the Trustee notice of any optional deferral of interest no more than 15 business days prior to the earlier of (1) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (2) the date upon which the Partnership is required to give notice to the NYSE or any applicable self-regulatory organization or to Holders of the Notes of such next succeeding Interest Payment Date or the record date therefor. The special record date established under the Indenture for the payment of deferred interest will be the regular record date with respect to the interest payment date at the end of the respective deferral period.

ARTICLE V

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS; AMENDMENTS

SECTION 5.1 Dividend and Other Payment Stoppages.

So long as any Notes remain outstanding, if the Partnership shall have given notice of its election to defer interest payments on the Notes but the related Optional Deferral Period has not yet commenced, or an Optional Deferral Period is continuing; then it will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary of the Partnership to

(a) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any units representing its partnership securities;

(b) make any payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, or repay, purchase or redeem any of its debt securities that rank upon the Partnership’s liquidation on a parity with or junior to the Notes ; or

(c) make any guarantee payments regarding any guarantee issued by the Partnership of securities of any of its Subsidiaries if the guarantee ranks upon the Partnership’s liquidation on a parity with or junior to the Notes.

The restrictions listed above do not apply to:

(a) any purchase, redemption or other acquisition of units representing the Partnership’s partnership securities in connection with:

(1) any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors, consultants or independent contractors;

(2) the satisfaction of the Partnership’s obligations pursuant to any contract entered into prior to the beginning of the applicable Optional Deferral Period;

(3) a dividend reinvestment or shareholder purchase plan; or

(4) the issuance of the Partnership’s partnership securities, or securities convertible into or exercisable for such partnership securities, as consideration in an acquisition transaction, the definitive agreement for which is entered into prior to the applicable deferral period;

(b) any exchange, redemption or conversion of any class or series of the Partnership’s partnership securities, or the capital stock, partnership securities or membership interests of one of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries, for any other class or series of the Partnership’s partnership securities, or of any class or series of the Partnership’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Partnership’s partnership securities;

(c) any purchase of fractional interests in units of the Partnership’s partnership securities pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such partnership securities or the securities being converted or exchanged;

(d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any shareholder rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any unitholder rights plan, or the redemption or purchase of rights pursuant thereto;

(e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks equally with or junior to such stock; or

(f) (i) any payment of current or deferred interest on the Partnership’s debt securities that rank upon the Partnership’s liquidation on a parity with the Notes (“parity securities”) that is made pro rata to the amounts due on such parity securities (including the Notes ) and (ii) any payment of principal or current or deferred interest on parity securities that, if not made, would cause the Partnership to breach the terms of the instrument governing such parity securities.

For the avoidance of doubt, no terms of the Notes will restrict in any manner the ability of any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries to pay dividends or make any distributions to the Partnership or to any of the Partnership’s other Subsidiaries.

SECTION 5.2 Special Interest.

The Partnership will pay to the Holder of any Notes Special Interest as expressly required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any

Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Special Interest provided for in this Section 5.2 to the extent that, in such context, Special Interest is, was or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.2 and express mention of the payment of Special Interest (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Special Interest in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

SECTION 5.3 Conforming Amendments.

In addition to those supplemental indentures permitted under Section 901 of the Base Indenture, without the consent of any Holders, the Partnership, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, as requested in a Partnership Order, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental to the Base Indenture, each in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to modify and amend this First Supplemental Indenture, and any instruments evidencing the Notes, if such modification or amendment only conforms the terms of the First Supplemental Indenture or such instruments to the terms thereof as contained in the offering memorandum of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., with respect to the offering of the Notes dated May 16, 2013.

ARTICLE VI

EVENT OF DEFAULT

SECTION 6.1 Events of Default.

(1) failure to pay interest on the Notes within 30 days after such interest is due (provided, however, that a failure to pay interest during a valid Optional Deferral Period, pursuant to Section 4.1 will not constitute an Event of Default);

(2) failure to pay principal of or any premium on the Notes when due; or

(3) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Partnership in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Partnership bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Partnership under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Partnership or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

(4) the commencement by the Partnership of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Partnership in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Partnership or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the authorization of any such action by the Board of Directors.

The Trustee shall have no right or obligation under this Indenture or otherwise to exercise any remedies on behalf of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture in connection with any failure by the Partnership to comply with any covenant hereunder, which failure does not constitute, or with the giving of notice or passage of time would not constitute, an Event of Default hereunder.

The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Security is one of a series designated as the Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2066 of the Partnership, in an initial aggregate principal amount of $545,531,000 (the “Securities”).

1.	Interest.

The Partnership promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the Three-Month LIBOR Rate plus 3.0175% per annum, reset quarterly on the LIBOR Rate Reset Dates (the “Coupon Rate”) and will bear interest on any overdue principal at the then prevailing Coupon Rate and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the then prevailing Coupon Rate (“Additional Interest”), compounded quarterly, and shall pay Special Interest, if any, payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below.

The Partnership will pay interest (subject to the provisions of Article IV) and Special Interest, if any, quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing August 1, 2013. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on the Securities, from June 24, 2013. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. The Partnership shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy laws) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) and on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the same rate per annum, in each case to the extent lawful.

Any such interest and Special Interest, if any, not so punctually paid or duly provided for (“Defaulted Interest”) may be paid to the persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, or in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may then be listed if such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee, as more fully provided in the

A-4

Indenture. The Partnership shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. Payments in respect of Securities in definitive form (including principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any) will be made at the office or agency of the Partnership maintained for such purpose within The City of New York, which initially will be at the corporate trust office of the Trustee located at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005, Mail Station: EX-NY-WALL, or, at the option of the Partnership, payment of interest and Special Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders on the relevant record date at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders maintained by the Registrar or at the option of the Holder, payment of interest and Special Interest, if any, on Securities in definitive form will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to any account maintained in the United States, provided such Holder has requested such method of payment and provided timely wire transfer instructions to the Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, if at any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Trustee, may rescind such declaration and annul its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court already rendered and if all Events of Default with respect to the Securities, other than the nonpayment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest and Special Interest, if any, which has become due solely by such declaration acceleration, shall have been cured or

A-6

shall have been waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity or security satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

10.	Subordination

Payment of principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes is subordinated to the prior payment of Senior Debt on the terms provided in the Indenture.
