&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Units &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;On September&amp;nbsp;2, 2009, the Partnership issued 4,371,586 Series A Preferred Units. As of March&amp;nbsp;31, 2010, the Series A Preferred Units were convertible to 4,584,192 common units, and if outstanding, are mandatorily redeemable on September&amp;nbsp;2, 2029 for $80,000,000 plus all accrued but unpaid distributions thereon. The Series A Preferred Units receive fixed quarterly cash distributions of $0.445 per unit beginning with the quarter ending March&amp;nbsp;31, 2010, if outstanding on the record dates of the Partnership's common units distributions. Effective as of March&amp;nbsp;2, 2010, holders can elect to convert Series A Preferred Units to common units at any time in accordance with the partnership agreement. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;Upon a change in control, each unitholder may, at its option, require the Partnership to purchase the Series&amp;nbsp;A Preferred Units for an amount equal to 101 percent of the total of the face value of the Series A Preferred Units plus all accrued but unpaid distribution thereon. Subsequent to the ETE Acquisition, no unitholder has exercised this option. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;As disclosed in Note 1, the Partnership's Series A Preferred Units were adjusted to fair value of $70,793,000 on May&amp;nbsp;26, 2010. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Series A Preferred Units for the six months ended June&amp;nbsp;30, 2010. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
