NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Except unit-related amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnotes are stated in millions of dollars.

SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS REFERENCED IN THESE
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Enterprise Products Partners” are intended to mean the business and operations of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

References to “EPO” mean Enterprise Products Operating LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprise Products Partners through which Enterprise Products Partners conducts substantially all of its business, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

References to “EPGP” mean Enterprise Products GP, LLC, which is our general partner.

References to “Duncan Energy Partners” mean Duncan Energy Partners L.P., which is a consolidated subsidiary of EPO.  Duncan Energy Partners is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “DEP.”  References to “DEP GP” mean DEP Holdings, LLC, which is the general partner of Duncan Energy Partners and is wholly owned by EPO.

References to “Enterprise GP Holdings” mean Enterprise GP Holdings L.P., a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the units of which are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “EPE.”  Enterprise GP Holdings owns EPGP.  The general partner of Enterprise GP Holdings is EPE Holdings, LLC (“EPE Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dan Duncan LLC.  The membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC are owned of record by a voting trust formed on April 26, 2006, pursuant to the Dan Duncan LLC Voting Trust Agreement dated April 26, 2006 (the “DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement”), among Dan Duncan LLC, Dan L. Duncan, as the record owner of all of the membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC immediately prior to the entering into of the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement, and Dan L. Duncan, as the initial sole voting trustee.  Immediately upon Mr. Duncan’s death on March 29, 2010, voting and dispositive control of all of the membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC was transferred pursuant to the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement to three voting trustees. 

The current voting trustees under the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement (the “DD LLC Trustees”) are: (1) Randa Duncan Williams, Mr. Duncan’s oldest daughter, who is also an existing director on the board of EPE Holdings; (2) Dr. Ralph S. Cunningham, who is currently the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of EPE Holdings; and (3) Richard H. Bachmann, who is currently the Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of EPGP and one of three managers of Dan Duncan LLC.  Dr. Cunningham and Mr. Bachmann are also currently directors of EPGP, EPE Holdings and DEP GP. 

The DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement requires that there always be two “Independent Voting Trustees” serving.  If Mr. Bachmann or Dr. Cunningham fail to qualify or cease to serve, then the substitute or successor Independent Voting Trustee(s) will be appointed by the then-serving Independent Voting Trustee, provided that if no Independent Voting Trustee is then serving or if a vacancy in a trusteeship of an Independent Voting Trustee is not filled within ninety days of the vacancy’s occurrence, the CEO of EPGP will appoint the successor Independent Voting Trustee(s). 

The DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement also provides for a “Duncan Voting Trustee.”  The Duncan Voting Trustee is appointed by the children of Mr. Duncan acting by a majority or, if less than three children of Mr. Duncan are then living, unanimously.  If for any reason no descendent of Mr. Duncan is appointed as the Duncan Voting Trustee, then such trusteeship will remain vacant until such time as a Duncan Voting Trustee is appointed in the manner provided above.  If a Duncan Voting Trustee for any reason ceases to serve, his or her successor shall be appointed by the children of Mr. Duncan acting by majority or, if less than three children of Mr. Duncan are then living, unanimously.  Ms. Williams is currently the Duncan Voting Trustee.

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The DD LLC Trustees are required to treat the member party to the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement as the beneficial owner for all purposes whatsoever of the membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC.  The estate of Dan L. Duncan became the sole member party to the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement upon the death of Mr. Duncan on March 29, 2010.  However, the DD LLC Trustees collectively are the record owners of the Dan Duncan LLC membership interests and possess and are entitled to exercise all rights and powers of absolute ownership thereof and to vote, assent or consent with respect thereto and to take party in and consent to any corporate or members’ actions (except those actions, if any, to which the DD LLC Trustees may not legally consent) and subject to the provisions of the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement, to receive dividends and distributions on the Dan Duncan LLC membership interests.  Except as otherwise provided in the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement, all actions taken by the DD LLC Trustees are by majority vote.

The DD LLC Trustees serve in such capacity without compensation, but they are entitled to incur reasonable charges and expenses deemed necessary and proper for administering the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement and to reimbursement and indemnification. 

The DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement will terminate when (1) the descendants of Dan L. Duncan, and entities directly or indirectly controlled by or held for the benefit of any such descendant, no longer own any capital stock of EPCO (as defined below); or (2) upon such earlier date designated by the DD LLC Trustees by an instrument in writing delivered to the member party to the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement.

On April 27, 2010, the independent co-executors for the estate of Dan L. Duncan were appointed by the probate court.  The independent co-executors are Mr. Bachmann, Dr. Cunningham and Ms. Williams, who are the same persons as the current DD LLC Trustees and voting trustees under a separate voting trust agreement relating to a majority of EPCO’s outstanding shares with voting rights (as more fully described below).

References to “TEPPCO” and “TEPPCO GP” mean TEPPCO Partners, L.P. and Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC (which is the general partner of TEPPCO), respectively, prior to their mergers with our subsidiaries.  On October 26, 2009, we completed the mergers with TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP (such related mergers referred to herein individually and together as the “TEPPCO Merger”). 
   
References to “Energy Transfer Equity” mean the business and operations of Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries, which include Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”).  Energy Transfer Equity is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “ETE.”  ETP is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “ETP.”  The general partner of Energy Transfer Equity is LE GP, LLC. 

References to “EPCO” mean Enterprise Products Company (formerly EPCO, Inc.) and its privately held affiliates.  Prior to Mr. Duncan’s death on March 29, 2010, we, EPO, Duncan Energy Partners, DEP GP, EPGP, Enterprise GP Holdings and EPE Holdings were affiliates under the common control of Dan L. Duncan, the controlling shareholder of EPCO.  A majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of EPCO is owned of record by a voting trust formed on April 26, 2006, pursuant to the EPCO Inc.

Duncan, as the record owner of a majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of EPCO immediately prior to the entering into of the EPCO Voting Trust Agreement, and Dan L. Duncan, as the initial sole voting trustee.  Immediately upon Mr. Duncan’s death, voting and dispositive control of such majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of EPCO included under the EPCO Voting Trust Agreement was transferred pursuant to the EPCO Voting Trust Agreement to three voting trustees (the “EPCO Trustees”).  The current EPCO Trustees are: (1) Ms. Williams, who serves as Chairman of EPCO; (2) Dr..Cunningham, who serves as a Vice Chairman of EPCO; and (3) Mr. Bachmann, who serves as the President, CEO and Chief Legal Officer of EPCO.  Ms. Williams, Dr. Cunningham and Mr. Bachmann are also currently directors of EPCO.  The current EPCO Trustees are the same as the current DD LLC Trustees for the DD LLC Voting Trust, which controls Dan Duncan LLC.  The current EPCO Trustees are

Duncan.  Dan Duncan LLC and EPCO also beneficially own approximately 18% and 57%, respectively, of the outstanding units representing limited partner interests of Enterprise GP Holdings.

References to the “Employee Partnerships” mean EPE Unit L.P. (“EPE Unit I”), EPE Unit II, L.P. (“EPE Unit II”), EPE Unit III, L.P. (“EPE Unit III”), Enterprise Unit L.P. (“Enterprise Unit”) and EPCO Unit L.P. (“EPCO Unit”), collectively, all of which are privately held affiliates of EPCO.
 
 
Note 1.  Partnership Organization and Basis of Presentation

We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “EPD.”  We were formed in April 1998 to own and operate certain natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) related businesses of EPCO.  We conduct substantially all of our business through our wholly owned subsidiary, EPO.  We are owned 98% by our limited partners and 2% by our general partner, EPGP.  Enterprise GP Holdings owns 100% of EPGP.  The general partner of Enterprise GP Holdings is EPE Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dan Duncan LLC.  Mr. Dan L. Duncan owned all of the membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC prior to his death on March 29, 2010.  All of the membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC are currently owned of record collectively by the DD LLC Trustees.  We, EPGP, Enterprise GP Holdings, EPE Holdings and Dan Duncan LLC are affiliates and under the collective common control of the DD LLC Trustees and the EPCO Trustees.  The EPCO Trustees are collectively the controlling record shareholders of EPCO.

For financial reporting purposes, we consolidate the financial statements of Duncan Energy Partners with those of our own and reflect its operations in our business segments.  We control Duncan Energy Partners through our ownership of its general partner.  Also, due to common control of the entities by Dan L. Duncan during his lifetime, and thereafter by the DD LLC Trustees and the EPCO Trustees, collectively, the initial consolidated balance sheet of Duncan Energy Partners reflects our historical carrying basis in each of the subsidiaries contributed to Duncan Energy Partners.  Public ownership of Duncan Energy Partners’ net assets and earnings are presented as a component of noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements.  The borrowings of Duncan Energy Partners are presented as part of our consolidated debt.  However, neither Enterprise Products Partners nor EPO have any obligation for the payment of interest or repayment of borrowings incurred by Duncan Energy Partners.

TEPPCO Merger and Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements and business segments were recast in connection with the TEPPCO Merger. On October 26, 2009, the related mergers of our wholly owned subsidiaries with TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP were completed.  Under terms of the merger agreements, TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP became wholly owned subsidiaries of ours, and each of TEPPCO’s unitholders, except for a privately held affiliate of EPCO, were entitled to receive 1.24 of our common units for each TEPPCO unit.  In total, we issued an aggregate of 126,932,318 common units and 4,520,431 Class B units (described below) as consideration in the TEPPCO Merger for both TEPPCO units and the TEPPCO GP membership interests.  TEPPCO’s units, which had been trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “TPP,” have been delisted and are no longer publicly traded.  On October 27, 2009, our TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP equity interests were contributed to EPO, and TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP became wholly owned subsidiaries of EPO.

A privately held affiliate of EPCO exchanged a portion of its TEPPCO units, based on the 1.24 exchange rate, for 4,520,431 of our Class B units in lieu of common units.  The Class B units are not entitled to regular quarterly cash distributions for the first 16 quarters following the closing date of the merger.  The Class B units automatically convert into the same number of common units on the date immediately following the payment date for the 16th quarterly distribution following the closing date of the merger.  The Class B units are entitled to vote together with the common units as a single class on partnership matters and, except for the payment of distributions, have the same rights and privileges as our common units.

 Under the terms of the TEPPCO Merger agreements, Enterprise GP Holdings received 1,331,681 of our common units and an increase in the capital account of EPGP to maintain its 2% general partner interest in us as consideration for 100% of the membership interests of TEPPCO GP.

Since Enterprise Products Partners, TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP were under common control of EPCO and its affiliates, the TEPPCO Merger was accounted for at historical costs as a reorganization of entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.  The inclusion of TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP in our consolidated financial statements was effective January 1, 2005 since an affiliate of EPCO under common control with Enterprise Products Partners originally acquired ownership interests in TEPPCO GP in February 2005.

Our consolidated financial statements prior to the TEPPCO Merger reflect the combined financial information of Enterprise Products Partners, TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP on a 100% basis.  Third-party and related party ownership interests in TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP are reflected as “Former owners of TEPPCO,” a component of noncontrolling interest.  The financial statements of TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP were prepared from the separate accounting records maintained by TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We revised our business segments and related disclosures to reflect the TEPPCO Merger.  Our reorganized business segments reflect the manner in which these businesses are managed and reviewed by the CEO of our general partner.  Under our new business segment structure, we have five reportable business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services; (ii) Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services; (iii) Onshore Crude Oil Pipelines & Services; (iv) Offshore Pipelines & Services and (v) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.

There was no change in net income attributable to Enterprise Products Partners L.P. for periods prior to the merger since net income attributable to TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP was allocated to noncontrolling interests.  Additionally, there was no change in our reported earnings per unit for such periods.  See Note 11 for a reconciliation of our consolidated revenues and total segment gross operating margin, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measure of segment performance, to our pre-merger amounts.

Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year.  In our opinion, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for fair presentation.  Although we believe the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (our “2009 Form 10-K”).


Note 2.  General Accounting Matters

Estimates

Preparing our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts presented in the financial statements (i.e. assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses) and disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities.  Our actual results could differ from these estimates.  On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information.  Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

At March 31, 2010, the active long-term incentive plans were the Enterprise Products 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Amended and Restated 2008 Enterprise Products Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 2010 Duncan Energy Partners L.P. Long-Term Incentive Plan.  In addition, we had unvested awards issued, but are not issuing further awards, under the Enterprise Products 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”).

An allocated portion of the fair value of these long-term incentive plan equity-based awards is charged to us under the administrative services agreement (“ASA”).  See Note 12 for a general description of the ASA with EPCO.  With the exception of certain amounts recorded in connection with EPCO Unit, we are not responsible for reimbursing EPCO for any expenses associated with such awards.  We recognize an expense for our allocated share of the grant date fair value of such awards, with an offsetting amount recorded in equity.  Beginning in February 2009, the ASA was amended to provide that we and other affiliates of EPCO will reimburse EPCO for our allocated share of distributions of cash or securities made to the Class B limited partners of EPCO Unit.  Our reimbursements to EPCO in connection with EPCO Unit were $0.1 million during each of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Restricted Unit Awards

Restricted unit awards allow recipients to acquire our common units or common units of Duncan Energy Partners (at no cost to the recipient) once a defined vesting period expires, subject to customary forfeiture provisions.  The majority of these awards are subject to cliff vesting, the restrictions on such awards generally lapse four years from the date of grant.  There are also awards that are subject to graded vesting provisions by which one-fourth of each award vests on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant.  The fair value of restricted units is based on the market price per unit of the underlying security on the date of grant.  Compensation expense is recognized based on the grant date fair value, net of an allowance for estimated forfeitures.  Compensation expense for awards with graded vesting provisions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite period of each separately vesting portion of the award.  As used in the context of our long-term incentive plans, the term “restricted unit” represents a time-vested unit.  Such awards are non-vested until the required service period expires.

Unit Option Awards

Certain long-term incentive plans provide for the issuance of non-qualified incentive options to purchase a fixed number of our common units or common units of Duncan Energy Partners.  When issued, the exercise price of each option award may be no less than the market price of the underlying security on the date of grant.  In general, options granted under the EPCO plans have a vesting period of four years and remain exercisable for five to ten years, as applicable, from the date of grant.

At March 31, 2010, 131,941 UARs had been granted under the 2006 Plan to certain employees of EPCO who work on our behalf.  These awards are subject to five year cliff vesting requirements and are expected to settle in 2012.  The grant date fair value with respect to these UARs is based on a unit price of $37.00 for our common units.  If the employee resigns prior to vesting, these UAR awards are forfeited.

The non-employee directors of DEP GP, the general partner of Duncan Energy Partners, have been granted UARs in the form of letter agreements.  These liability awards are not part of any established long-term incentive plan of EPCO, Enterprise GP Holdings, Duncan Energy Partners or us.  The compensation expense associated with these awards is recognized by DEP GP, which is our consolidated subsidiary.  At March 31, 2010, there were a total of 90,000 outstanding UARs granted to non-employee directors of DEP GP that cliff vest in 2012.  If a director resigns prior to vesting, his UAR awards are forfeited.  The grant date fair value with respect to these UARs is based on an Enterprise GP Holdings’ unit price of $36.68.

Phantom Units

Certain of our long-term incentive plans provide for the issuance of phantom unit awards.  These awards are automatically redeemed for cash based on the fair value of the vested portion of phantom units at redemption dates in each award.  The fair value of each phantom unit award is equal to the closing market price of the underlying security on the redemption date.  Each participant is required to redeem their phantom units as they vest, which is typically three to four years from the date the award is granted.  Our phantom units are accounted for as liability awards.

Profits Interests Awards

As long-term incentive arrangements, EPCO has granted its key employees who perform services on behalf of us, EPCO and other affiliated companies, “profits interests” in the Employee Partnerships, all of which are private company affiliates of EPCO.

Profits interests awards entitle each holder to participate in the expected long-term appreciation in value of the equity securities owned by each Employee Partnership.  The Employee Partnerships own either units of Enterprise GP Holdings or Enterprise Products Partners or a combination of both.  The profits interests awards are subject to customary forfeiture provisions.

The total unrecognized compensation cost of the profits interests awards was $52.7 million at March 31, 2010, of which our share is currently estimated to be $43.0 million.  We expect to recognize our share of the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of 5.9 years.


Note 4.  Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements

In the course of our normal business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates, commodity prices and, to a limited extent, foreign exchange rates.  In order to manage risks associated with certain identifiable and anticipated transactions, we use derivative instruments.  Derivatives are instruments whose fair value is determined by changes in a specified benchmark such as interest rates, commodity prices or currency values.  Fair value is generally defined as the amount at which a derivative instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, not in a forced sale.  Typical derivative instruments include futures, forward contracts, swaps, options and other instruments with similar characteristics.  Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities.

We are required to recognize derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet.  While all derivatives are required to be reported at fair value on the balance sheet, changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are reported in different ways depending on the nature and effectiveness of the hedging activities to which they are related.  After meeting specified conditions, a qualified derivative may be specifically designated as a total or partial hedge of:

§  
Changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability, or an unrecognized firm commitment - In a fair value hedge, gains and losses for both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recognized in income during the period of change.

§  
Variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction - In a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the hedge is reported in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and is reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings.

§  
Foreign currency exposure - A foreign currency hedge can be treated as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge depending on the risk being hedged.

An effective hedge relationship is one in which the change in fair value of a derivative instrument can be expected to offset 80% to 125% of changes in the fair value of a hedged item at inception and throughout the life of the hedging relationship.  The effective portion of a hedge relationship is the amount by which the derivative instrument exactly offsets the change in fair value of the hedged item during the reporting period.  Conversely, ineffectiveness represents the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument that does not exactly offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item.  Any ineffectiveness associated with a hedge relationship is recognized in earnings immediately.  Ineffectiveness can be caused

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
by, among other things, changes in the timing of forecasted transactions or a mismatch of terms between the derivative instrument and the hedged item.

A contract designated as a cash flow hedge of an anticipated transaction that is probable of not occurring is immediately recognized in earnings.

Interest Rate Derivative Instruments

We utilize interest rate swaps, treasury locks and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in the interest rates of certain consolidated debt agreements.  This strategy is a component in controlling our cost of capital associated with such borrowings.

The following table summarizes our interest rate derivative instruments outstanding at March 31, 2010, all of which were designated as hedging instruments under the derivative and hedging guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”):

Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and the related hedged items in a fair value hedge were recorded on the balance sheet with the offset recorded as interest expense.  Cash flow hedges fix the interest rate paid on floating rate debt with the difference between the floating rate and fixed rate being recorded as an increase or decrease to interest expense.  This combined activity resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and an increase in interest expense of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and certain petrochemical products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control.  In order to manage the price risk associated with certain exposures, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as forwards, basis swaps, futures and options contracts.  The following table summarizes our commodity derivative instruments outstanding at March 31, 2010:

(1)  Volume for derivatives designated as hedging instruments reflects the total amount of volumes hedged whereas volume for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments reflects the absolute value of derivative notional volumes.
(2)  The maximum term for derivatives included in the long-term column is December 2012.
(3)  PTR represents the British thermal unit equivalent of the NGLs extracted from natural gas by a processing plant, and includes the natural gas used as plant fuel to extract those liquids, plant flare and other shortages.  See the discussion below for the primary objective of this strategy.
(4)  Excludes 6.1 million barrels (“MMBbls”) of additional hedges executed under contracts that have been designated as normal sales agreements under the FASB’s derivative and hedging guidance.  The combination of these volumes with the 6.3 MMBbls reflected as derivatives in the table above results in a total of 12.4 MMBbls of hedged forecasted NGL sales volumes, which corresponds to the 26.5 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”) of forecasted natural gas purchase volumes for PTR.
(5)  Current and long-term volumes include approximately 134.9 and 9.9 Bcf, respectively, of physical derivative instruments that are predominantly priced at an index plus a premium or minus a discount.
(6)  Reflects the use of derivative instruments to manage risks associated with transportation, processing and storage assets.

Certain of our derivative instruments do not meet hedge accounting requirements; therefore, they are accounted for using mark-to-market accounting.

Our three predominant hedging strategies are hedging natural gas processing margins, hedging anticipated future sales of NGLs, refined products and crude oil associated with volumes held in inventory and hedging the fair value of natural gas in inventory.  The objective of our natural gas processing strategy is to hedge an amount of gross margin associated with the gas processing activities. We achieve this by using physical and financial instruments to lock in the prices of natural gas purchases used for PTR and related NGL sales.  This program consists of (i) the forward sale of a portion of our expected equity NGL

production at fixed prices through December 2010, achieved through the use of forward physical sales and commodity derivative instruments and (ii) the purchase of commodity derivative instruments with a notional amount determined by the amount of natural gas expected to be consumed as PTR in the production of such equity NGL production.  The objective of our NGL, refined products and crude oil sales hedging program is to hedge anticipated future sales of inventory by locking in the sales price through the use of forward physical sales and commodity derivative instruments.  The objective of our natural gas inventory hedging program is to hedge the fair value of natural gas currently held in inventory by locking in the sales price of the inventory through the use of commodity derivative instruments.
 
Foreign Currency Derivative Instruments

We are exposed to a nominal amount of foreign currency exchange risk in connection with our NGL and natural gas marketing activities in Canada.  As a result, we could be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency rates between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar.  In order to manage this risk, we may enter into foreign exchange purchase contracts to lock in the exchange rate.  Long-term transactions (more than two months) are accounted for as cash flow hedges.  Shorter term transactions are accounted for using mark-to-market accounting.  At March 31, 2010, we did not have any foreign currency derivative instruments outstanding.
 
Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features in Derivative Instruments

A limited number of our commodity derivative instruments include provisions related to credit ratings and/or adequate assurance clauses.  A credit rating provision provides for a counterparty to demand immediate full or partial payment to cover a net liability position upon the loss of a stipulated credit rating.  An adequate assurance clause provides for a counterparty to demand immediate full or partial payment to cover a net liability position should reasonable grounds for insecurity arise with respect to contractual performance by either party.  At March 31, 2010, the aggregate fair value of our over-the-counter derivative instruments in a net liability position was $5.8 million, all of which was subject to a credit rating contingent feature.  If our credit ratings were downgraded to Ba2/BB, approximately $0.8 million would be payable as a margin deposit to the counterparties, and if our credit ratings were downgraded to Ba3/BB- or below, approximately $5.8 million would be payable as a margin deposit to the counterparties.  Currently, no margin is required to be deposited.  The potential for derivatives with contingent features to enter a net liability position may change in the future as positions and prices fluctuate.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a specified measurement date.  Our fair value estimates are based on either (i) actual market data or (ii) assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including estimates of risk.  Recognized valuation techniques employ inputs such as product prices, operating costs, discount factors and business growth rates.  These inputs may be either readily observable, corroborated by market data or generally unobservable.  In developing our estimates of fair value, we endeavor to utilize the best information available and apply market-based data to the extent possible.  Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques (such as the market approach) that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

A three-tier hierarchy has been established that classifies fair value amounts recognized or disclosed in the financial statements based on the observability of inputs used to estimate such fair values.  The hierarchy considers fair value amounts based on observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) to be more reliable and predictable than those based primarily on unobservable inputs (Level 3).  At each balance sheet reporting date, we categorize our financial assets and liabilities using this hierarchy.

The characteristics of fair value amounts classified within each level of the hierarchy are described as follows:

§  
Level 1 fair values are based on quoted prices, which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date.  Active markets are defined as those in which transactions for identical assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency so as to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis (e.g., the New York Mercantile Exchange).  Our Level 1 fair values primarily consist of financial assets and liabilities such as exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments.

§  
Level 2 fair values are based on pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets (as reflected in Level 1 fair values) and are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date.  Level 2 fair values include instruments that are valued using financial models or other appropriate valuation methodologies.  Such financial models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, the time value of money, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments and other relevant economic measures.  Substantially all of these assumptions are: (i) observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, (ii) can be derived from observable data or (iii) are validated by inputs other than quoted prices (e.g., interest rate and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals).  Our Level 2 fair values consist of commodity derivative instruments such as forwards, swaps and other instruments transacted on an exchange or over the counter and interest rate derivative instruments.  The fair values of these derivatives are based on observable price quotes for similar products and locations.  The value of our interest rate derivatives are valued by using appropriate financial models with the implied forward London Interbank Offered Rate yield curve for the same period as the future interest swap settlements.

§  
Level 3 fair values are based on unobservable inputs.  Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.  Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own ideas about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).  Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the reporting entity’s internally developed data.  The reporting entity must not ignore information about market participant assumptions that is reasonably available without undue cost and effort.  Level 3 inputs are typically used in connection with internally developed valuation methodologies where management makes its best estimate of an instrument’s fair value.  Our Level 3 fair values largely consist of ethane, normal butane and natural gasoline-based contracts

with a range of two to 12 months in term.  We rely on price quotes from reputable brokers in the marketplace who publish price quotes on certain products.  Whenever possible, we compare these prices to other reputable brokers for the same product in the same market.  These prices, combined with our forward transactions, are used in our model to determine the fair value of such instruments.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at March 31, 2010.  These financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value assets and liabilities, in addition to their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.  There were no significant transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities

Certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment).  The following table presents the estimated fair value of certain assets carried on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet by caption for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2010:

Asset Retirement Obligations

We have recorded asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) related to legal requirements to perform retirement activities as specified in contractual arrangements and/or governmental regulations.  In general, our AROs primarily result from (i) right-of-way agreements associated with our pipeline operations, (ii) leases of plant sites and (iii) regulatory requirements triggered by the abandonment or retirement of certain underground storage assets and offshore facilities.  In addition, our AROs may result from the renovation or demolition of certain assets containing hazardous substances such as asbestos.

The following table presents information regarding our AROs since December 31, 2009:
