    <TD>The amounts in this column reflect the amount of compensation
expense recognized in our consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2009, determined in accordance with SFAS
123(R). Compensation expense is recognized based on the grant-date fair value of the award, which is measured as the market price of the number of ETP common units expected to be issued upon
vesting. For awards that do not receive distribution equivalents prior to vesting, the market price is reduced by the present value of the expected distributions on our common units during the
vesting period. The compensation expense for calendar year 2008 is net of the impact of the cumulative adjustment of prior period compensation expense resulting from the unit forfeiture in 2008 due
to the failure to achieve specified performance conditions. The negative compensation expense reflected above for Mr.&nbsp;Jennings is due to the reversal of previously recorded compensation expense
resulting from the forfeiture of units upon his resignation.</TD>

Former Chief Financial Officer
(1)
The bonus amounts for the executive officers of ETP shown in this table represent the discretionary bonus paid in March 2009 relating to ETP's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
(2)
The amounts in this column reflect the amount of compensation
expense recognized in our consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2008 included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2009, determined in accordance with SFAS
123(R). Compensation expense is recognized based on the grant-date fair value of the award, which is measured as the market price of the number of ETP common units expected to be issued upon
vesting. For awards that do not receive distribution equivalents prior to vesting, the market price is reduced by the present value of the expected distributions on our common units during the
vesting period. The compensation expense for calendar year 2008 is net of the impact of the cumulative adjustment of prior period compensation expense resulting from the unit forfeiture in 2008 due
to the failure to achieve specified performance conditions. The negative compensation expense reflected above for Mr. Jennings is due to the reversal of previously recorded compensation expense
resulting from the forfeiture of units upon his resignation.
(3)
The amounts in this column include (a) the amount of
compensation expense recognized in our consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2009, related to equity-based awards of
units in Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. owned by an affiliate, to certain of our named executive officers, as discussed in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements, and (b) contributions to the
401(k) plan made by ETP on behalf of the named executive officers.
(4)
Mr. Salinas was promoted to Chief Financial Officer effective June 16, 2008. The 2008 amounts reflect his compensation for the entire year.
(5)
Mr. Jennings resigned on June 16, 2008.
