Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     The information set forth under Item 2.03 hereof is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
     On November 19, 2007, Enterprise Products Operating LLC (the “Borrower”), a Texas limited liability company and the operating subsidiary of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (the “Company”), executed an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement totaling $1.75 billion (the “Restated Credit Agreement”). The Restated Credit Agreement replaces the existing $1.25 billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of August 25, 2004 (the “Existing Credit Facility”) entered into by the Borrower’s predecessor in interest, Enterprise Products Operating L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. The Restated Credit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. The description of the Restated Credit Agreement is qualified by reference to the text of Exhibit 10.1.
     The Borrower’s obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement are not secured by any collateral; however, they are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to an Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2. Amounts borrowed under the Restated Credit Agreement mature on November 19, 2012, although the Borrower is permitted, on the maturity date, to convert the principal balance of the revolving loans then outstanding into a non-revolving one-year term loan (referred to herein as the “term-out option”).
     On a quarterly basis, the Borrower is required to pay a facility fee on each lender’s commitment irrespective of commitment usage.
     The applicable rate spread for Eurodollar loans and the applicable rate for the facility fee is a rate per annum as follows:
         
Index Debt Ratings:        
(Moody’s/S&P/Fitch)   Eurodollar Spread   Facility Fee Rate
Category 1 ³ A3/A-/A-
  0.210%   0.065%
Category 2 Baa1/BBB+/BBB+
  0.270%   0.080%
Category 3 Baa2/BBB/BBB
  0.350%   0.100%
Category 4 Baa3/BBB-/BBB-
  0.500%   0.125%
Category 5 < Baa3/BBB-/BBB-
  0.575%   0.175%
     The applicable Eurodollar spread will be increased by 0.100% per annum for each day that the total outstanding loans and letter of credit obligations under the facility exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the total lender commitments. Also, upon the conversion of the revolving loans to term loans pursuant to the term-out option described above, the applicable Eurodollar spread will increase by 0.125% per annum and, if immediately prior to such conversion, the total amount of outstanding loans and letter of credit obligations under the facility exceeds fifty

percent (50%) of the total lender commitments, the applicable Eurodollar spread with respect to the term loans will increase by an additional 0.10% per annum.
     The Borrower may increase the amount that may be borrowed under the facility, without the consent of the lenders, by an amount not exceeding $500 million by adding to the facility one or more new lenders and/or requesting that the commitments of existing lenders be increased, although none of the existing lenders has agreed to or is obligated to increase its existing commitment. The Borrower may request unlimited one-year extensions of the maturity date by delivering a written request to the administrative agent, but any such extension shall be effective only if consented to by the required lenders in their sole discretion.
     The Restated Credit Agreement contains customary representation, warranties, covenants and events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lenders to accelerate the maturity date of amounts borrowed under the Restated Credit Agreement.
