"Our declared fourth quarter 2010 distribution rate represents an impressive 6% increase over the distribution rate for fourth quarter of 2009, an accomplishment largely a result of having purchased all of the remaining assets from TRC during the year at attractive prices and also a result of the strong performance of our businesses.

"We believe that with our scale and diversity in key producing oil and gas basins and in Mont Belvieu, Texas, a key hub for natural gas liquids logistics services, and with strong pro forma year end liquidity of approximately $900 million, the Partnership is well positioned to continue to capitalize on attractive growth opportunities. Looking forward to 2011, we are focused on successful execution of growth projects under construction in both divisions, completing new commercial and acquisition negotiations that are in process, and developing additional growth projects and acquisition opportunities."
