Pursuant to the indentures described below, the Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by the Partnership (the “Guarantee,” and together with the Notes, the “Securities”).

     The Securities were issued under the Indenture, dated as of October 4, 2004 (the “Indenture”), among EPO (as successor to Enterprise Products Operating L.P.), as issuer, the Partnership, as guarantor, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, (collectively, as amended and supplemented by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 30, 2007, providing for EPO as successor issuer, the “Base Indenture”) as amended and supplemented by the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 5, 2009 (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).

     The Notes provide that interest will accrue from October 5, 2009 at a rate of 5.25% per annum for the 2020 Notes and 6.125% for the 2039 Notes. Interest will be payable on January 31 and July 31 of each year, commencing January 31, 2010 for the 2020 Notes, and on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2010 for the 2039 Notes. The 2020 Notes mature on January 31, 2020, and the 2039 Notes mature on October 15, 2039. The Notes also provide that EPO may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time at the applicable redemption price that includes accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole premium.
