Initially, the Notes will not be guaranteed by any of the subsidiaries of the Partnership.
The Indenture contains customary events of default (each an Event of Default). Under the Indenture, Events of Default include, but are not limited to, the following:

(7) | except in limited circumstances specified in the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, the failure of Magellan GP, LLC to comply with certain separateness and bankruptcy provisions of its limited liability company agreement or the amendment or modification of such provisions in a manner materially adverse to the interests of the holders of the Notes. |

unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and interest will be due and payable immediately.

(b) At any time on or after April 3, 2047 (the date that is six months prior to the Stated Maturity), at its option, the Issuer may choose to redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at once or from time to time, at a redemption price determined by the Issuer equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to such Redemption Date.
For purposes of determining the redemption price, the following definitions shall apply:

Comparable Treasury Price means, for any Redemption Date, (1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of all of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
Independent Investment Banker means Barclays Capital Inc., SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., or Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as specified by the Partnership, or any of their respective successor firms, or if each such firm is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Partnership.

Reference Treasury Dealer means each of (1) Barclays Capital Inc. or any of its successors; (2) a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. or any of its successors; (3) Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or any of its successors; and (4) one other Primary Treasury Dealer (or its affiliates and successors) that the Issuer specifies from time to time, provided that if any of the Reference Treasury Dealers specifically named above resigns, its successor dealer shall be a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee.
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations means, for each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and ask prices
Exhibit A-4
for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.
Treasury Rate means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated H.15(519) or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption Treasury Constant Maturities, for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week in which the calculation date falls (or in the immediately preceding week if the calculation date falls on any day prior to the usual publication date for such release) or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. Any weekly average yields calculated by interpolation or extrapolation will be rounded to the nearest 1/100th of 1%, with any figure of 1/200th of 1% or above being rounded upward.

This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related Prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issuance of the Notes.
As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the general partner of the Partnership and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the internal laws of the State of New York and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or

the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state.
Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, when the Notes have been duly executed, issued, and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered against payment therefor in the circumstances contemplated by the underwriting agreement dated September 26, 2017 among the Partnership and Barclays Capital Inc., SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Inc., and Wells Fargo Securities Inc., as managers of the several underwriters named therein, the Notes will have been duly authorized by all necessary limited partnership action of the Partnership and will be legally valid and binding obligations of the Partnership, enforceable against the Partnership in accordance with their terms.
Our opinion is subject to:
(a) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors;
(b) the effects of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith, fair dealing and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought;
(c) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; and
(d) we express no opinion with respect to (i) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, service of process, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief; (ii) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights; (iii) waivers of rights or defenses contained in Section 6.05 of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture and waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights; (iv) covenants not to compete; (v) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies; (vi) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations; (vii) grants of setoff rights; (viii) provisions to the effect that a guarantor is liable as a primary obligor, and not as a surety and provisions purporting to waive modifications of any guaranteed obligation to the extent such modification constitutes a novation; (ix) provisions for the payment of attorneys fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy; (x) proxies, powers and trusts; (xi) provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any right or property; (xii) provisions for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty; (xiii) provisions permitting, upon acceleration of any indebtedness (including the Notes) collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon; and (xiv) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect.
