INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") is being filed by
Regency Energy Partners LP (the "Partnership," or the "Registrant") pursuant to General Instruction
E to Form S-8 to register an additional 700,000 common units of the Partnership, issuable pursuant
to the Regency GP LLC Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The contents of the earlier
registration statement on Form S-8 previously filed by the Partnership with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and relating to the registration of common units for issuance under
the Plan (Form S-8 filed on January 19, 2007, File No. 333-140088), is hereby incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement in accordance with General Instruction E to Form S-8.
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
In accordance with Rule 428 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") and the instructional note to Part I of Form S-8, the information specified in Part I of Form
S-8 has been omitted from the filing of this registration statement. The documents containing the
information specified in Part I of Form S-8 will be sent or given to participating employees as
specified by Rule 428(b)(1) of the Securities Act. Such documents and the documents incorporated by
reference herein pursuant to Item 3 of Part II hereof, taken together, constitute a prospectus that
meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.

and
•
The description of our common units contained in our Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed
with the SEC on January 24, 2006, and including any other amendments or reports filed for the
purpose of updating such description.
In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) (other than information furnished under Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 of any current
report on Form 8-K) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement that indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or that
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
extent that a statement contained herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
-1-
Table of Contents
Under our partnership agreement, in most circumstances, we will indemnify the following
persons, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against all losses, claims, damages or
similar events:
•
our general partner;
•
any departing general partner;
•
any person who is or was an affiliate of a general partner or any departing general
partner;
•
any person who is or was a director, officer, member, partner, fiduciary or trustee of
any entity set forth in the preceding three bullet points;
•
any person who is or was serving as director, officer, member, partner, fiduciary or
trustee of another person at the request of our general partner or any departing general
partner; and
•
any person designated by our general partner.
Any indemnification under these provisions will only be out of our assets. We also have
indemnification agreements with our executive officers and directors. Pursuant to such
indemnification agreements, we have agreed to indemnify our executive officers and directors
against certain liabilities. Unless it otherwise agrees, our general partner will not be personally
liable for, or have any obligation to contribute or loan funds or assets to us to enable us to
effectuate, indemnification. We may purchase insurance against liabilities asserted against and
expenses incurred by persons for our activities, regardless of whether we would have the power to
indemnify the person against liabilities under our partnership agreement. Subject to any terms,
conditions or restrictions set forth in the partnership agreement, Section 17-108 of the Delaware
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and
hold harmless any partner or other persons from and against all claims and demands whatsoever.
To the extent that the indemnification provisions of our partnership agreement purport to
include indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, in the opinion of the
SEC, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply because the
registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is,
-3-
Table of Contents
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
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 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
