4.Not An Employment Agreement. This Agreement is not, and nothing herein shall be deemed to create, a contract of employment between the Employee and the Partnership.

5.Confidentiality of Agreement. Employee agrees not to discuss, disclose or otherwise communicate any of the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation the amounts of the payments or other consideration provided, to anyone except to Employee’s attorney, tax advisor and Employee’s spouse, if any, or as required by law. Employee understands and agrees that, as a result of this binding promise of strict confidentiality, Employee may not hereafter discuss or otherwise communicate with, among other persons, any of the Partnership’s current or former employees regarding the terms, including the payments or other consideration, included in this Agreement.

6.Non-Disparagement. Employee agrees to refrain from making any oral or written statements to a third party about any of the Released Parties that are derogatory, disparaging, malicious, obscene, threating, harassing, intimidating, discriminatory, slanderous, libelous or defamatory with the effect of damaging the business or reputation of the Partnership or Energy Transfer LP, or any of their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, directors, officers or employees. In the event of the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Non-Disparagement provision by Employee that has or will result in actual demonstrable harm, the Partnership and Energy Transfer LP, shall each be entitled to obtain injunctive relief to enjoin such breach or threatened breach, in addition to all other remedies and alternatives which may be available at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee acknowledges and understands that while the Partnership shall advise its officers and directors of the existence of this obligation, it cannot control their actions, but if made aware of such oral or written statements will take reasonable efforts to cause such statements to be discontinued. A violation or threatened violation by the Partnership of this paragraph that has or will result in actual demonstrable harm to Employee may be enjoined by the courts, in addition to any all rights and remedies otherwise afforded by law.

7.Confidential and Proprietary Information. Employee acknowledges that they have agreed to certain confidentiality provisions contained in the Nondisclosure and Assignment of Inventions Agreement executed at the time of Employee’s initial hiring.

Employee further acknowledges that if Employee were to use or disclose, directly or indirectly, the Confidential Information, that such use and/or disclosure would cause the Partnership irreparable harm and injury for which no adequate remedy at law exists. Therefore, in the event of the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Confidentiality Provisions by Employee, the Partnership shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief to enjoin such breach or threatened breach, in addition to all other remedies and alternatives which may be available at law or in equity. Employee acknowledges that the remedies contained in the Agreement for violation of this Agreement of the Confidentiality Provisions are not the exclusive remedies which the Partnership may pursue.

8.Non-Admission. This Agreement, and the payment of money and other consideration provided by the Partnership under this Agreement, is not an admission or indication of any wrongdoing by the Partnership or the Employee.

9.Entire Agreement. Employee agrees that, with the exception of the provisions of the Nondisclosure and Assignment of Inventions Agreement and the Confidentiality Provisions, this Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between the parties regarding the matters addressed herein, and that no other representations have been made by the Partnership and that the terms hereof may not be modified except by a written instrument signed by the Partnership and the Employee.

10.Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement should be held to be void, voidable, or unenforceable, the remaining portions hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

11.Interpretation Under State Law. This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State of Texas without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereunder.
