Item 2.01.    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

        On September 30, 2004, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“Enterprise”) and GulfTerra Energy Partners, L.P. (“GulfTerra”) completed the merger of GulfTerra into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enterprise (the “Merger”). Additionally, Enterprise and its subsidiaries completed certain other transactions related to the Merger, including the acquisition of the 50% interest in GulfTerra’s general partner held by El Paso Corporation (“El Paso”) and the purchase from El Paso of certain midstream assets located in South Texas (the “South Texas Assets”).

        A description of the Merger and the related transactions and all agreements executed in connection therewith are contained in Enterprise’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 15, 2003, April 19, 2004 and September 7, 2004 and are incorporated by reference herein.

        Immediately prior to closing the Merger, a subsidiary of El Paso conveyed the GulfTerra General Partner Interest to Enterprise Products GP, LLC, the general partner of Enterprise (“Enterprise GP”), in exchange for $370 million in cash and a 9.9% membership interest in Enterprise GP, and Enterprise GP thereupon made a capital contribution of the GulfTerra General Partner Interest to Enterprise (without increasing its interest in the earnings on cash distributions of Enterprise). Enterprise GP borrowed the foregoing $370 million purchase price from Dan Duncan LLC (which owns a 4.505% membership interest in Enterprise GP), which obtained the funds from a loan from EPCO, Inc. (which indirectly owns an 85.595% membership interest in Enterprise GP).

        In connection with the Merger, Enterprise paid $500 million cash to El Paso in exchange for 10,937,500 Series C Units of GulfTerra and 2,876,620 Series A Common Units of GulfTerra (“GulfTerra Common Units”), and the remaining 57,762,369 outstanding GulfTerra Common units (7,433,425 of which were owned by El Paso) were converted into 104,549,889 Common Units of Enterprise (13,454,499 of which are held by El Paso).

        The purchase price paid by Enterprise to El Paso for the South Texas Assets was cash in the amount of approximately $156 million, subject to adjustment.

        The El Paso subsidiary that owns the 9.9% interest in Enterprise GP, GulfTerra GP Holding Company (“El Paso Holdco”), entered into an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement with Enterprise and Enterprise GP, dated September 30, 2004 (the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which it has the right to deliver its 9.9% interest to Enterprise GP at any time after the six-month anniversary of the date of completion of the Merger in exchange for a number of Enterprise Common Units that would provide the same cash flow as its 9.9% interest in Enterprise GP. Enterprise GP may elect to pay El Paso Holdco cash in lieu of such Enterprise Common Units equal to the market value of such Enterprise Common Units or a combination of cash and Enterprise Common Units. If El Paso Holdco has not exercised the foregoing right by the 180^th day following the third anniversary of the completion of the Merger, Enterprise GP can force the exercise of such right. Enterprise has agreed in the Exchange Agreement to file a shelf registration statement covering the resale of any Enterprise Common Units that may be delivered to El Paso Holdco upon the exercise of the foregoing exchange right. DFI Delaware Holdings L.P., an entity controlled by Dan L. Duncan that owns over 100 million

2

Enterprise Common Units, has guaranteed the performance of Enterprise GP under the Exchange Agreement pursuant to a Performance Guaranty dated September 30, 2004. The Exchange Agreement and the Performance Guaranty are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

        Enterprise and El Paso entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated September 30, 2004, pursuant to which Enterprise granted to El Paso one demand registration statement and unlimited piggyback registration rights with respect to the 13,454,499 Enterprise Common Units received by El Paso pursuant to the Merger. The piggyback rights so granted to El Paso are subordinated to the piggyback rights of an affiliate of Shell Oil Co. set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 17, 1999, between Tejas Energy, LLC and Enterprise, a copy of which is listed as Exhibit 4.20 to Enterprise’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 13, 2003. The Registration Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 4.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 2.03.     Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-
                       Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

        In connection with closing the Merger, on September 30, 2004, Enterprise’s operating subsidiary, Enterprise Products Operating L.P. (“Operating”), borrowed an aggregate of $2.795 billion under its revolving credit facilities in order to fund the purchase price of the Merger and the related transactions.

        Operating borrowed $2.25 billion under its $2.25 Billion 364-day Revolving Credit Agreement to refinance indebtedness of GulfTerra under GulfTerra’s revolving credit facility and its two senior secured term loans, which aggregated approximately $962 million, to fund an escrow account for the future payment of the approximately $1.1 billion aggregate purchase price pursuant to Operating’s tender offers for GulfTerra’s outstanding senior and senior subordinated notes, to fund a portion of the purchase price at the closing of the Merger and the related transactions and to pay the outstanding balance under its former multi-year credit facility and 364-day credit facility, which credit facilities were terminated. Enterprise has guaranteed repayments of amounts due under this facility through an unsecured guarantee.

        Operating borrowed $545 million under its $750 Million Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement to fund a portion of the purchase price at the closing of the Merger and the related transactions. Enterprise has guaranteed repayments of amounts due under this facility through an unsecured guarantee.

        The terms of payment and other terms and conditions of Operating’s revolving credit facilities are contained in Enterprise’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 1, 2004 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Mr. Andras will serve as Enterprise’s Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer until the earlier of the date on which his successor is elected or designated or the date on which his term is terminated as a result of death, resignation, removal or otherwise.

Item 5.03    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws.

        Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger and in connection with the transactions related to the Merger, on September 30, 2004, Duncan Family Interests, Inc. (formerly, EPC Partners II, Inc.) and Dan Duncan LLC (each an affiliate of EPCO, Inc.) and El Paso Holdco executed the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Enterprise GP, dated as of September 30, 2004 (the “New Agreement”). The New Agreement amended and restated Enterprise GP’s First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of September 17, 1999, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of September 19, 2002 (the “Prior Agreement”), and replaced the Prior Agreement in its entirety.

        Under the Prior Agreement, Duncan Family Interests, Inc. held a 95% membership interest in Enterprise GP, and Dan Duncan LLC held a 5% membership interest in Enterprise GP. Pursuant to the New Agreement, El Paso Holdco was admitted as a member of Enterprise GP with a 9.9% membership interest in Enterprise GP, and Duncan Family Interests, Inc. and Dan Duncan LLC now hold 85.595% and 4.505% membership interests in Enterprise GP, respectively.

        Under the New Agreement, Dan Duncan LLC has the right to elect all of the directors of Enterprise GP; provided, however, that a majority of the directors must meet the independence, qualification and experience requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (“Independent Directors”). In addition, at least three Independent Directors must also meet the independence, qualification and experience requirements of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Act of 1934 (“Special Independent Directors”). Under the Prior Agreement, the Board of Directors of Enterprise GP had the right to elect directors. Under the New Agreement, El Paso Holdco, through its 9.9% membership interest in Enterprise GP, has protective veto rights on certain significant transactions such as a merger of Enterprise GP, certain mergers of Enterprise, a disposition of substantially all the assets of Enterprise GP or Enterprise, amendment to Enterprise’s Partnership Agreement or the New Agreement that would have a material adverse affect on El Paso Holdco, certain voluntary events of bankruptcy, and payments on Enterprise GP’s indebtedness to any of its other member or their affiliates that would reduce distributions

5

that would otherwise be made to El Paso Holdco. Under the New Agreement El Paso Holdco is entitled to receive quarterly distributions from Enterprise GP equal to 9.9% of available cash, determined without regard to any payments or reserves established by Enterprise GP with respect to its indebtedness to any of its other members or their affiliates.

        Certain provisions were added to the New Agreement to evidence the separateness of Enterprise GP from all other entities and to reduce the likelihood that a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding would be filed by or against Enterprise GP. Special approval of the Audit and Conflicts Committee (composed of at least three Special Independent Directors) is required for certain significant decisions with respect to either Enterprise GP or Enterprise, including (i) filing any voluntary petition, or acquiescing in any involuntary petition, in bankruptcy, (ii) seeking any other form of insolvency relief, (iii) dissolving or liquidating, or (iv) amending the separateness provisions of the New Agreement.

        The New Agreement is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Enterprise Completes Merger with GulfTerra;
Creates $14 Billion Midstream Energy Partnership

        Houston, Texas – (September 30, 2004) — Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD) announced the completion of its merger with GulfTerra Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: GTM) effective today. The combined partnership, which will retain the name Enterprise Products Partners L.P., is the second largest publicly traded energy partnership with an enterprise value of approximately $14 billion.

        In transactions related to the merger, Enterprise purchased approximately 13.8 million GulfTerra limited partner units for $500 million from El Paso Corporation. GulfTerra’s remaining 57.8 million common units were converted into approximately 104.5 million Enterprise common units based on an exchange rate of 1.81 Enterprise units for each GulfTerra unit. After the completion of the merger, Enterprise has approximately 360.2 million common units outstanding. Enterprise also acquired nine natural gas processing plants and related facilities located in South Texas from El Paso Corporation for $156 million.

        Robert G. Phillips, formerly Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of GulfTerra’s general partner, was elected President and Chief Operating Officer and a director of Enterprise’s general partner. W. Matt Ralls, formerly an independent director on the board of GulfTerra’s general partner, was elected as an independent director to the board of Enterprise’s general partner.

        The combined partnership serves the largest producing basins of natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) in the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, Rocky Mountains, San Juan Basin, Permian Basin, the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast region, East Texas and the Mid-Continent. Through connections with third-party pipelines, Enterprise serves production from Canada’s western sedimentary basin. The partnership also provides midstream services to the largest consuming region of natural gas, crude oil and NGLs in the U.S.

        “We are excited to complete this transaction to create one of the leading midstream energy companies in North America,” said O.S. “Dub” Andras, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise. “We believe this combination will provide us with many opportunities to deliver incremental value for both our partners and our customers. We have already begun the work to capitalize on some of these opportunities. The merger also results in a more balanced business mix across the midstream value chain, and together with the natural hedge to natural gas prices that exists between Enterprise and GulfTerra, should provide greater cash flow stability for our partnership.”

        “Our current estimate of annual cash savings from the combination is approximately $140 million. The largest component, which results in immediate savings of approximately $55 million per year, is a decrease in the amount of incentive distributions paid to the general partner of the combined partnership compared to the aggregate amount paid to the general partners of Enterprise and GulfTerra on a stand alone basis. This savings is a result of retaining Enterprise’s incentive distribution structure, which is capped at 25%, compared to GulfTerra’s structure, which was at the highest incentive distribution level of 50%. As a result of work done by transition teams from Enterprise and GulfTerra over the past few months, we have increased our expectations for general and administrative and public company cost savings to approximately $40 million per year. Finally, we anticipate initial interest expense savings of approximately $45 million per year from refinancing GulfTerra’s debt. This excludes the net proceeds from interest rate hedging activities associated with our recent offering of $2.0 billion of long-term notes,” stated Andras.

        “As a result of the expected initial annual cash savings, the board of directors of our general partner approved an increase in the quarterly cash distribution rate to at least $0.395 per unit (or $1.58 per unit on an annual basis) effective with the distribution scheduled to be paid in November 2004,” stated Andras.

        “This merger is truly a compelling event for the investors of both Enterprise and GulfTerra,” said Robert G. Phillips. “We are creating a world class midstream company that will benefit from a great footprint of assets, tremendous growth opportunities in the most prolific producing basins and a strong balance sheet with a low cost capital structure. This will allow the combined partnership to be very competitive in the development of new infrastructure projects to meet the needs of our customers.”

        “Enterprise’s fully integrated value chain offers us a broad set of revenue enhancements and commercial synergies that should create incremental cash flow from our unique group of midstream assets which extend from the wellhead to the consuming customer. Additionally, we expect to further increase the cash flow accretion associated with this merger through a range of operating efficiencies that are available to the combined partnership. A significant operating initiative, identified during the integration transition process and already under way, is to lower operating and capital costs by improving our strategic sourcing and materials purchasing practices to take advantage of the partnership’s larger size and purchasing power. The long-term value generated by these revenue enhancements and operating efficiency strategies would be in addition to the $140 million of identified savings,” stated Phillips.

        Enterprise borrowed approximately $2.7 billion on its $2.25 billion 364-day revolving credit facility and its $750 million multi-year credit facility to purchase approximately 13.8 million of GulfTerra units from El Paso Corporation for $500 million, retire $961 million of debt under Gulfterra’s secured credit facility and term loans, fund an escrow account for $1.1 billion to fund the tender offers for GulfTerra’s outstanding senior and senior subordinated notes and purchase the South Texas natural gas processing plants from El Paso Corporation for $156 million. Enterprise will use the net proceeds from its recent $2.0 billion private placement of senior unsecured notes to refinance a portion of the amounts outstanding under the $2.25 billion 364-day revolving credit facility.

        In connection with the merger, Enterprise and Dan Duncan entered into a consent agreement with the Federal Trade Commission. Under the terms of this agreement, Enterprise agreed to sell its 50% member interest in Starfish Pipeline Company, LLC and its 50% interest in an NGL storage facility in Mississippi. Starfish owns the Stingray natural gas pipeline system in the Gulf of Mexico and the associated Triton natural gas gathering system and West Cameron dehydration facility.

4

conditions, or the occurrence of an event outside the reasonable control of the relevant Requesting Unitholders; or (D) if the request for withdrawal made by the Requesting Unitholders pursuant to clause (iii) above shall have been caused by, or made in response to, the material adverse change in the business properties, condition, financial or otherwise, or operations of Enterprise Partners.

                (c)       If a registration effected pursuant to this Section 2 is for an underwritten Public Offering, Enterprise Partners may include in such registration the number of securities (for its own account or the account of any securityholder) which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the proposed offering or the offering price, provided the number of Registrable securities requested by the Requesting Unitholders to be included in such registration shall not be reduced.

        Section 3.     Piggyback Registration.

                (a)        If at any time with respect to any Registrable Securities, Enterprise Partners proposes for any reason to register any Common Units or Equity Equivalents (other than in connection with a business acquisition or otherwise on Form S-4 under the Securities Act (or any successor form), a distribution reinvestment plan on Form S-3 or an employee benefit plan or otherwise on Form S-8 under the Securities Act (or any successor form)) then it shall promptly give written notice at least 15 Business Days before the anticipated filing date to each of the holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to so register such Common Units or Equity Equivalents and, upon the written request, delivered to Enterprise Partners within 10 Business Days after receipt of any such notice by Enterprise Partners, of the Unitholders to include in such registration Registrable Securities (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration), Enterprise Partners shall use its Best Efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as the Common Units or Equity Equivalents otherwise being sold in such registration, subject to the limitations set forth herein.

                (b)        If a registration referred to in paragraph 3(a) relates to an underwritten Public Offering on behalf of Enterprise Partners, and the managing underwriters advise Enterprise Partners in writing that the inclusion of all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration would materially and adversely affect the proposed offering or the offering price, Enterprise Partners will include in such registration: (i) first, all securities Enterprise Partners proposes to sell, (ii) second, all securities, if any, requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the Tejas Registration Rights Agreement, (iii) third, all Registrable Securities which the Requesting Unitholders ask to be included in such registration and (iv) fourth, such other securities (provided such securities are of the same class as the securities being sold by Enterprise Partners) as are requested to be included in such registration equal to the balance, if any, allocated pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the dollar amount or number of securities requested to be included therein by each such holder. If a registration referred to in paragraph 3(a) relates to an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of Enterprise Partners’ securities (other than holders of Registrable Securities in their capacity as such), and the managing underwriters advise Enterprise Partners in writing that in their opinion the securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the offering or the

5

offering price, Enterprise Partners will include in such registration, (i) first, the securities which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the offering or the offering price of the securities intended to be included therein on behalf of the other holders of Enterprise Partners’ securities, allocated among the holders of such securities in such proportions as Enterprise Partners and such holders may agree, (ii) second, to the extent of the balance, if any, all securities, if any, requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the Tejas Registration Rights Agreement, allocated pro rata among the holders of securities requesting that their securities be included in such registration pursuant to such agreement on the basis of the securities requested to be included therein by each such holder, and (iii) third, to the extent of the balance, if any, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, allocated pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the securities requested to be included therein by each such holder.

                (c)        If the registration referred to in paragraph 3(a) involves an underwritten offering, the right of any Unitholder to include any Registrable Securities in such registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon such Unitholders’ participation in such underwriting. The Unitholders proposing to include their Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by Enterprise Partners.

                (d)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, if a registration referred to in paragraph 3(a) relates to an underwritten offering of a class of securities of Enterprise Partners different from the Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such offering and the managing underwriters advise that in their opinion Registrable Securities of a different class cannot be included in such offering without adversely affecting the offering or the offering price, then the holders of the Registrable Securities shall not be entitled to include Registrable Securities in such registration.

                (e)       Enterprise Partners shall have the right to terminate any proposed registration under this Section 3 at any time without any obligation to the Requesting Holders requesting inclusion in such registration under this Section 3.

        Section 4.     Holdback Agreement.

                (a)        If Enterprise Partners at any time shall register Common Units or Equity Equivalents under the Securities Act (including any registration pursuant to Section 3) for sale in an underwritten Public Offering, then to the extent requested by the underwriters for such offering, the Unitholders shall not sell, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Registrable Securities (other than those Registrable Securities included in such registration) without the prior written consent of Enterprise Partners, for a period designated by the managing underwriter in writing to the Unitholders, which period shall begin not more than seven days prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement pursuant to which such Public Offering shall be made (or within seven days prior to the execution of the applicable underwriting agreement in the case of an offering pursuant to Rule 415) and shall not last more than 90 days after the closing of such Public Offering or such shorter holdback period to which Enterprise Partners or other unitholders of Enterprise Partners holding at least 10% of the Common Units of Enterprise Partners (on a fully

6

diluted basis) are subject. The Requesting Unitholders will enter into agreements with the underwriters to the foregoing effect.

                (b)        If, at any time, Enterprise Partners is requested by the Requesting Unitholders to register Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof under the Securities Act for sale in an underwritten Public Offering, then to the extent requested by the underwriters for such offering Enterprise Partners shall not sell, make any short sale of, grant any option (other than under compensatory option or benefit plans of Enterprise Partners or its Affiliates) for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities similar to those being registered or any Equity Equivalents, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, for a period designated by the managing underwriter in writing to Enterprise Partners, which period shall begin not more than seven days prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement pursuant to which such public offering shall be made (or within seven days prior to the execution of the applicable underwriting agreement in the case of an offering pursuant to Rule 415) and shall not last more than 90 days after the closing of the sale of units pursuant to such registration statement or such shorter holdback period to which the Unitholders are then subject. Enterprise Partners shall use its Best Efforts to cause each holder of at least 10% (on a fully diluted basis) of Common Units other than Unitholders to agree not to sell publicly, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose publicly of, any Common Units or Equity Equivalents (except as part of the underwritten offering pursuant to such registration statement), without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, for a period designated by the managing underwriter in writing to such holders, which period shall begin not more than seven days prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement pursuant to which such public offering shall be made (or within seven days prior to the execution of the applicable underwriting agreement in the case of an offering pursuant to Rule 415) and shall not last more than 90 days after the closing of the sale of units pursuant to such registration statement or such shorter holdback period to which the Unitholders are then subject.

        Section 5.     Preparation and Filing.

                (a)       If and whenever Enterprise Partners is under an obligation pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to use its Best Efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, Enterprise Partners shall, as expeditiously as practicable:

                (i)       use its Best Efforts to cause a registration statement that registers such Registrable Securities to be filed within 45 days following the request delivered pursuant to Section 2 and to become and remain effective for a period (the “Registration Period”) of 180 days (or such extended period pursuant to clause (viii) below) or until all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of (if earlier);

                (ii)       furnish, at least five Business Days before filing a registration statement that registers such Registrable Securities, a prospectus relating thereto or any amendments or supplements relating to such a registration statement or prospectus, to Unitholders’ Counsel, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (it being understood that such five-Business-Day period need not apply to successive drafts of the same document proposed to be filed so long as such successive drafts are supplied to

                (iii)       prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective at all times during the Registration Period and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities;

                (c)       In the case of an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Requesting Unitholders shall choose the managing underwriter, provided that the managing underwriter is reasonably acceptable to Enterprise Partners.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7, Enterprise Partners shall not be liable to any such indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or threatened action (including any reasonable legal or other fees, disbursements and expenses incurred) arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in said registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, amendment, supplement or document incident to registration or qualification of any Registrable Securities in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Enterprise Partners by or on behalf of a holder of Registrable Securities specifically for use in the preparation thereof. The foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any untrue statement, allegedly untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the final prospectus (filed pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any underwriter who participates in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities or any other Person, if any, who controls such underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) from whom a Person asserting any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense purchased the Registrable Securities which are the subject thereof, if a copy of such final prospectus had been made available to such underwriter and such controlling Person and such final prospectus was not delivered to such Person asserting any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense with or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities to such Person.

                (b)        In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each holder of Registrable Securities shall severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless, in the same manner and to the same extent as set

11

forth in the preceding paragraph (a) of this Section 7, Enterprise Partners, each director of Enterprise Partners, each officer of Enterprise Partners who shall sign such registration statement and each Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (or actions or threatened actions in respect thereof), to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or threatened actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any statement or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or otherwise filed with the Commission, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incident to registration or qualification of any Registrable Securities, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Enterprise Partners by such holder with respect to such holder specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, amendment, supplement or document; provided, however, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such indemnification shall be limited, in the case of each seller of Registrable securities, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration.

                (c)        Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 7, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, (i) the indemnified party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party and its counsel in the defense of such claim, and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other fees, disbursements and expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are additional to or conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Person controlling such indemnified party for that portion of the fees, disbursements and expenses of not more than one counsel retained by the indemnified party in connection with the matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 7 provided that no indemnifying party shall, in connection with any such suit, be liable under this subsection for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all indemnified parties. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any compromise or settlement of any such action effected without its consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or suit, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party which shall not be unreasonably withheld, consent to any compromise or settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or suit.

12

                (d)        If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability, action or threatened action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or threatened action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or threatened action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any statement or omission, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of each seller of Registrable Securities, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The amount paid or payable by a party under this Section 7(d) as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, action or threatened action referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees, disbursements and expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first and second sentences of this Section 7(d). No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 (f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

                (e)        The provisions of this Section 7 shall be in addition to any other liability which any indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

        Section 8.     Underwriting Agreement. To the extent that the holders of Registrable Securities participating in any underwritten registration shall enter into an underwriting or similar agreement that contains provisions which conflict with any provision of Section 7 hereof, as between Enterprise Partners and such holders of Registrable Securities, the provisions contained in Section 7 hereof shall control.

        Section 9.     Information by Holder. The Unitholders shall furnish to Enterprise Partners such written information regarding the Unitholders and the distribution proposed by the Unitholders as Enterprise Partners may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.

        Section 10.     Exchange Act Compliance. Enterprise Partners agrees to and shall comply with all of the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to it. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, Enterprise Partners shall deliver to such holder a written

13

statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Enterprise Partners shall cooperate with the Unitholders in supplying such information as may be necessary for the Unitholders to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of Rule 144.

        Section 11.     No Conflict of Rights. Enterprise Partners shall not, after the date hereof, grant any registration rights which conflict with or impair the registration rights granted hereby.

        Section 12.     Termination. Except as provided in Section 7(e) hereof, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when there shall no longer be any Registrable Securities outstanding.

        Section 13.     Miscellaneous.

                (e)        Assignment.

        A.        EPCO, Inc. (formerly Enterprise Products Company, a Texas corporation) (“EPCO”), and Enterprise Parent 2 formed the Company on April 9, 1998 with EPCO as a 95% member and Enterprise Parent 2 as a 5% member. EPCO assigned its 95% membership interest in the Company to Enterprise Parent 1 effective as of July 30, 1998.

Enterprise Parent 1 reacquired such 30% membership interest from Shell effective as of September 12, 2003, and Shell thereupon ceased to be a member of the Company. El Paso GP Holdco acquired a 9.9% membership interest in the Company as of the Effective Date.

AGREEMENTS

        For and in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the parties, Enterprise Parent and El Paso GP Holdco hereby agree to amend and restate the Existing Agreement in its entirety as follows:

ARTICLE 2
ORGANIZATION

        2.01    Formation.    The Company was organized as a Delaware limited liability company by the filing of a Certificate of Formation (“Organizational Certificate”) on April 9, 1998 with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware under and pursuant to the Act.

        2.02    Name.    The name of the Company is “Enterprise Products GP, LLC” and all Company business must be conducted in that name or such other names that comply with Law as the Board of Directors may select.

        2.03    Registered Office; Registered Agent; Principal Office; Other Offices.    The registered office of the Company required by the Act to be maintained in the State of Delaware shall be the office of the initial registered agent for service of process named in the Organizational Certificate or such other office (which need not be a place of business of the Company) as the Board of Directors may designate in the manner provided by Law. The registered agent for service of process of the Company in the State of Delaware shall be the initial registered agent for service of process named in the Organizational Certificate or such other Person or Persons as the Board of Directors may designate in the manner provided by Law. The principal office of the Company in the United States shall be at such a place as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate, which need not be in the State of Delaware, and the Company shall maintain records there and shall keep the street address of such principal office at the registered office of the Company in the State of Delaware. The Company may have such other offices as the Board of Directors may designate.

        2.04    Purpose.    The purposes of the Company are the transaction of any or all lawful business for which limited liability companies may be organized under the Act; provided,

2

however, that for so long as it is the general partner of the MLP, the Company’s sole business will be (a) to act as the general partner or managing member of the MLP and any other partnership or limited liability company of which the MLP is, directly or indirectly, a partner or managing member and to undertake activities that are ancillary or related thereto and (b) to acquire, own or Dispose of debt or equity securities in the MLP. The Company shall, and shall cause the MLP to, maintain at all times a sufficient number of employees in light of its then current business operations if adequate personnel and services are not provided to the Company and the MLP under the Administrative Services Agreement.

        2.06    No State-Law Partnership; Withdrawal.     The Members intend that the Company shall be a limited liability company formed under the Laws of the State of Delaware and shall not be a partnership (including a limited partnership) or joint venture, and that no Member be a partner or joint venturer of any other Member, for any purposes other than federal and state tax purposes, and this Agreement may not be construed to suggest otherwise. A Member does not have the right to Withdraw from the Company; provided, however, that a Member shall have the power to Withdraw at any time in violation of this Agreement. If a Member exercises such power in violation of this Agreement, (a) such Withdrawing Member shall be liable to the Company and the other Members and their Affiliates for all monetary damages suffered by them as a result of such Withdrawal; (b) such other Members shall, in addition thereto, have the rights set forth in Article 11; and (c) such Withdrawing Member shall not have any rights under Section 18.604 of the Act. In no event shall the Company or any Member have the right, through specific performance or otherwise, to prevent a Member from Withdrawing in violation of this Agreement.

        2.07     Certain Undertakings Relating to the Separateness of the MLP.

                (a)        Separateness Generally. The Company shall, and shall cause the MLP to, conduct their respective businesses and operations separate and apart from those of any other Person (including EPCO and its Subsidiaries, other than the Company and/or the MLP Group), except the Company and/or one or more members of the MLP Group, in accordance with this Section 2.07.

                (b)        Separate Records. The Company shall, and shall cause the MLP to, (i) maintain their respective books and records and their respective accounts separate from those of any other Person, (ii) maintain their respective financial records, which will be used by them in their ordinary course of business, showing their respective assets and liabilities separate and apart from those of any other Person, except their consolidated Subsidiaries, (iii) not have their respective assets and/or liabilities included in a consolidated financial statement of any Affiliate of the Company unless appropriate notation shall be made on such Affiliate’s consolidated financial statements to indicate the separateness of the Company and the MLP and their assets and liabilities from such Affiliate and the assets and liabilities of such Affiliate, and to indicate

3

that the assets and liabilities of the Company and the MLP are not available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of such Affiliate, and (iv) file their respective own tax returns separate from those of any other Person, except (A) to the extent that the MLP or the Company (x) is treated as a “disregarded entity” for tax purposes or (y) is not otherwise required to file tax returns under applicable law or (B) as may otherwise be required by applicable law.

                (c)        Separate Assets. The Company shall not, and shall cause the MLP to not, commingle or pool their respective funds or other assets with those of any other Person, except their respective consolidated Subsidiaries, and shall maintain their respective assets in a manner that is not costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or otherwise identify as separate from those of any other Person.

                (d)        Separate Name. The Company shall, and shall cause the MLP to, (i) conduct their respective businesses in their respective own names or in the names of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) use separate stationery, invoices, and checks, (iii) correct any known misunderstanding regarding their respective separate identities from that of any other Person (including EPCO and its Subsidiaries, other than the Company and/or one or more members of the MLP Group), and (iv) generally hold itself out as an entity separate from any other Person (including EPCO and its Subsidiaries, other than the Company and/or the MLP Group).

Each material contract between the MLP or another member of the MLP Group, on the one hand, and EPCO or Affiliates of EPCO (other than the Company or a member of the MLP Group), on the other hand, shall be in writing.

                (g)        No Effect. Failure by the Company to comply with any of the obligations set forth above shall not affect the status of the Company as a separate legal entity, with its separate assets and separate liabilities.

ARTICLE 3
MATTERS RELATING TO MEMBERS

        3.01    Members.    Enterprise Parent 1 and Enterprise Parent 2 have previously been admitted as Members of the Company, and El Paso GP Holdco is hereby admitted as a Member of the Company effective as of the Effective Date.

        3.02    Creation of Additional Membership Interest.    Subject to Member approval requirements of Section 6.01(b), the Company may issue additional Membership Interests in the Company pursuant to this Section 3.02. The terms of admission or issuance must specify the Sharing Ratios applicable to such Membership Interests, and may provide for the creation of different classes or groups of Members having different rights, powers, and duties. The creation of any new class or group of Members approved as required herein may be reflected in an amendment to this Agreement executed in accordance with Section 13.04 indicating the different rights, powers, and duties thereof. Any such admission is effective only after the new Member has executed and delivered to the Members an instrument containing the notice address of the new Member and the new Member’s ratification of this Agreement and agreement to be bound by it. The provisions of this Section 3.02 shall not apply to a Disposition of a Membership Interest or Change of Member Control, such matters being governed by Article 9.

        3.03     Liability to Third Parties.    No Member or beneficial owner of any Membership Interest shall be liable for the Liabilities of the Company.

ARTICLE 4
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

        4.01    Capital Contributions.

                (a)        In exchange for its Membership Interest in the Company and payment by the Company to El Paso GP Holdco of cash consideration in the amount of $370 million, El Paso GP Holdco has contributed to the Company its Class B Membership Interest in GulfTerra Energy Company, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, and Enterprise Parent 2 has made certain Capital Contributions. Enterprise Parent 1 is the assignee of its predecessor’s

5

Membership Interest. The parties hereto agree that, except as provided in Section 4.01(c), in no event shall El Paso GP Holdco be required to make any Capital Contribution to the Company (i) in respect of the transactions to be effected by the MLP on the Effective Date, including any Capital Contributions that may be required pursuant to the MLP Agreement in respect of any of those transactions, or (ii) to fund any capital contribution required to be made by the Company pursuant to the MLP Agreement in respect of any issuances of Common Units to El Paso GP Holdco (or its Transferees admitted as Substituted Members pursuant to Section 9.02) upon exercise of its Exchange Right under the Exchange Agreement.

                (b)        The amount of money and the fair market value (as of the date of contribution) of any property (other than money) contributed to the Company by a Member in respect of the issuance of a Membership Interest to such Member shall constitute a “Capital Contribution,” and the amount of such Capital Contribution shall be credited to such Member’s Capital Account. Any reference in this Agreement to the Capital Contribution of a Member shall include a Capital Contribution of its predecessors in interest.

                (c)        Pursuant to Section 5.2(d) of the MLP Agreement, upon the issuance of any additional Limited Partner Interests (as defined in the MLP Agreement) by the MLP, the Company, as general partner of the MLP, is required to make an additional capital contribution to the MLP in an amount equal to 2/98 of the amount contributed to the MLP in exchange for the Limited Partner Interests. Concurrently with the capital contribution required to be made by the Company to the MLP pursuant to Section 5.2(d) of the MLP Agreement (the “GP Contribution”), each of the Members shall contribute to the Company its pro rata share of the GP Contribution based on its respective Sharing Ratio; provided, however, that the Members shall not be required to make any such contribution to the Company in connection with the transactions to be effected by the MLP on the Effective Date. In the event any Member fails to contribute to the Company its pro rata share of the GP Contribution in accordance with this Section 4.01(c) (the “Failing Member”), the other Member(s) may elect to additionally contribute to the Company (the “Contributing Member”) such Failing Member’s pro rata share of the GP Contribution. If such contribution is made by a Contributing Member, as a penalty for Default, the Failing Member shall forfeit all future distributions of Available Cash from the Company pursuant to Section 5.01 and such Failing Member’s distributions shall instead be distributed to the Contributing Member until such time as an amount equal to 300% of the amount so contributed by the Contributing Member on behalf of the Failing Member shall be distributed to the Contributing Member (the amount to be distributed in excess of the amount contributed by a Contributing Member is referred to as the “Excess Amount”).

        4.02    Loans.    If the Company does not have sufficient cash to pay its obligations, any Member that may agree to do so may, with the consent of the Audit and Conflicts Committee, advance all or part of the needed funds for such obligation to or on behalf of the Company. An advance described in this Section 4.02 constitutes a loan from the Member to the Company, may bear interest at a rate determined by the Board of Directors from the date of the advance until the date of repayment, and is not a Capital Contribution.

        4.03    Return of Contributions.    A Member is not entitled to the return of any part of its Capital Contributions or to be paid interest in respect of either its Capital Account or its Capital Contributions. An unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or of any

6

Member. No Member will be required to contribute or to lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member’s Capital Contributions.

        4.04    Capital Accounts.

                (a)        The Company shall maintain for each Member a separate Capital Account in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Each Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made by that Member to the Company and (ii) all items of Company income and gain (including, without limitation, income and gain exempt from tax) computed in accordance with Section 4.04(b) and allocated to that Member pursuant to Section 5.02, and decreased by (A) the amount of cash or Net Agreed Value of all actual and deemed distributions of cash or property to that Member pursuant to this Agreement and (B) all items of Company deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 4.04(b) and allocated to that Member pursuant to Section 5.02. As of immediately after the Effective Date, each Member’s Capital Account is as set forth on Exhibit A.

                (b)        For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction which is to be allocated pursuant to Article 5 and is to be reflected in the Members’ Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes (including, without limitation, any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for that purpose), provided, that:

                        (i)        Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Company property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Company’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.

                        (ii)        In accordance with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code, any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to any Contributed Property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property on the date it was acquired by the Company were equal to the Agreed Value of such property. Upon an adjustment to the Carrying Value of any Company property subject to depreciation, cost recovery or amortization, any further deductions for such depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to such property shall be determined (A) as if the adjusted basis of such property were equal to the Carrying Value of such property immediately following such adjustment and (B) using a rate of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization derived from the same method and useful life (or, if applicable, the remaining useful life) as is applied for federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that, if the asset has a zero adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, depreciation, cost recovery or amortization deductions shall be determined using any reasonable method that the Board of Directors may adopt.

                (c)        A Transferee of a Membership Interest shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor relating to the Membership Interest so transferred.

7

                (d)     (i) In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), on an issuance of additional Membership Interests for cash or Contributed Property, the Capital Account of all Members and the Carrying Value of each Company property immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Company property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property immediately prior to such issuance and had been allocated to the Members at such time pursuant to Section 5.02 in the same manner as any item of gain or loss actually recognized during such period would have been allocated.

                        (ii)        In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to any actual or deemed distribution to a Member of any Company property (other than a distribution of cash that is not in redemption or retirement of a Membership Interest), the Capital Accounts of all Members and the Carrying Value of all Company property shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Company property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized in a sale of such property immediately prior to such distribution for an amount equal to its fair market value, and had been allocated to the Members, at such time, pursuant to Section 5.02 in the same manner as any item of gain or loss actually recognized during such period would have been allocated.

ARTICLE 5
DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

        5.01    Distributions.    Subject to Section 11.02, within 45 days following each Quarter other than any Quarter in which the dissolution of the Company has commenced (the “Distribution Date”), the Company shall distribute to the Members the Company’s Available Cash on such Distribution Date. Distributions made pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall made among the Members as follows:

                (a)        First, to El Paso GP Holdco in amount equal to 9.9% of Pre-Debt Service Available Cash; and

                (b)        The remainder, if any, to each of the Members other than El Paso GP Holdco in proportion that each such Member’s (other than El Paso Holdco) Sharing Ratio bears to the aggregate Sharing Ratios of all such other Members.

Each distribution in respect of a Membership Interest shall be paid only to the record holder thereof as of the Distribution Date, unless otherwise directed by the record holder.

8

        5.02    Allocations for Capital Account Purposes.    For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the Members among themselves, the Company’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction (computed in accordance with Section 4.04(b)) shall be allocated among the Members in each taxable year (or portion thereof) as provided herein below.

                (a)        Except as otherwise required by Section 5.02(b), all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their Sharing Ratios.

                (b)        Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made for each taxable period:

                        (i)        Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any taxable period, each Member shall be allocated items of income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6), 1.704-2(g)(2) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provision. For purposes of this Section 5.02(b)(i), each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 5.02(b) with respect to such taxable period (other than an allocation pursuant to Sections 5.02(b)(v) and 5.02(b)(vi)). This Section 5.02(b)(i) is intended to comply with the Member Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

                        (ii)        Chargeback of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Except as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any taxable period, any Member with a share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such taxable period shall be allocated items of income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or any successor provisions. For purposes of this Section 5.02(b)(ii), each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 5.02(b), other than Section 5.02(b)(i) and other than an allocation pursuant to Sections 5.02(b)(v) and 5.02(b)(vi), with respect to such taxable period. This Section 5.02(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the chargeback of items of income and gain requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

                        (iii)        Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible unless such deficit balance is otherwise eliminated pursuant to Section 5.02(b)(i) or (ii).

9

                        (iv)        Gross Income Allocations. In the event any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any taxable period in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Member is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (B) the amount such Member is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Member shall be specially allocated items of gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.02(b)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in this Section 5.02 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.02(b)(iv) were not in this Agreement.

                        (v)        Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios. If the Board of Directors determines in its good faith discretion that the Company’s Nonrecourse Deductions must be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the Board of Directors is authorized, upon notice to the other Members, to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio that does satisfy such requirements.

                        (vi)        Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated 100% to the Member that bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Member bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, such Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Members in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss.

                        (vii)        Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members agree that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Company in excess of the sum of (A) the amount of Company Minimum Gain and (B) the total amount of Nonrecourse Built-in Gain shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios.

                        (viii)        Interest on Enterprise Parent Debt. All interest deductions relating to indebtedness owed by the Company to Enterprise Parent or any Affiliate of Enterprise Parent shall be allocated to each of the Members other than El Paso GP Holdco in proportion that each such Member’s (other than El Paso Holdco) Sharing Ratio bears to the aggregate Sharing Ratios of all such other Members.

        5.03    Allocations for Tax Purposes.

                (a)        Except as otherwise provided herein, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 5.02.

10

                (b)        To eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Members as follows:

                        (i)        (A) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Members in the manner provided under Section 704(c) of the Code that takes into account the variation between the Agreed Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution; and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to a Contributed Property shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 5.02.

                        (ii)        (A) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall (1) first, be allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 4.04(d)(i) or 4.04(d)(ii), and (2) second, in the event such property was originally a Contributed Property, be allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with Section 5.03(b)(i)(A); and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 5.02.

                        (iii)        The Board of Directors shall apply the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d) to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities.

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.01(b), the approval of El Paso GP Holdco or its Transferees admitted as Substituted Members pursuant to Section 9.02 shall not be required for the Company to take (1) any of the actions set forth in this

19

Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful or in violation of the terms of this Agreement. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified above. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company.

                (b)        To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to Section 6.06(a) in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 6.06.

                (c)        The indemnification provided by this Section 6.06 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as (i) a present or former member of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, (ii) a present or former Member, (iii) a present or former Officer of the Company, or (iv) a Person serving at the request of the Company in another entity in a similar capacity as that referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (iii), and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.

                (d)        The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the members of the Board of Directors, the Officers and such other persons as the Board of Directors shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by such person in connection with the Company’s activities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

                (e)        For purposes of this Section 6.06, the Company shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by the Indemnitee of such Indemnitee’s duties to the Company also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, the Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 6.06(a); and action taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of such Indemnitee’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such Indemnitee to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

                (f)        An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.06 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

20

                (g)        The provisions of this Section 6.06 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

                (h)        No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.06 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair either the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company or the obligation of the Company to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.06 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may be asserted.

                (i)        THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 6.06 ARE INTENDED BY THE PARTIES TO APPLY EVEN IF SUCH PROVISIONS HAVE THE EFFECT OF EXCULPATING THE INDEMNITEE FROM LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH PERSON’S NEGLIGENCE, FAULT OR OTHER CONDUCT.

        6.07    Liability of Indemnitees.

                (a)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the Company, the Members or any other Person for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission constituting a breach of such Indemnitee’s fiduciary duty if such Indemnitee acted in good faith.

                (b)        Subject to its obligations and duties as set forth in this Article 6, the Board of Directors and any committee thereof may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through the Company’s Officers or agents, and neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such Officer or agent appointed by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof in good faith.

                (c)        Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.07 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on liability under this Section 6.07 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may be asserted.

DISPOSITIONS

        9.01    Dispositions of Membership Interests.    Except to the extent expressly permitted by this Article 9, no Member may Dispose of all or any part of a Membership Interest. Unless otherwise provided herein, references in this Section 9.01 to Dispositions of a “Membership Interest” shall also refer to Dispositions of a portion of a Membership Interest. Any attempted transfer, sale or other Disposition of all or any part of a Membership Interest, other than in strict accordance with this Article 9, shall be, and is hereby declared, null and void ab initio. The Members agree that a breach of the provisions of this Article 9 may cause irreparable injury to the Company and to the other Members for which monetary damages (or other remedies at law) are inadequate in view of (a) the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damages that would be sustained by reason of the failure of a Member to comply with such provisions and (b) the uniqueness of the Company’s business and the relationship among the Members. Accordingly, the Members agree that the provisions of this Article 9 may be enforced by specific performance. If, subject to its compliance with Article 9, El Paso GP Holdco elects to Dispose of all (but not less than all) of its Membership Interests in the Company to any Transferee, such Transferee shall succeed to all of El Paso GP Holdco’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, including (i) the Member approval rights pursuant to Section 6.01(b), (ii) the drag-along and tag-along rights pursuant to Section 9.05 and (iii) its consent rights in respect of amendments of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04.

“Permitted Transferee”), and such Permitted Transferee will, subject to Section 9.02(b), be admitted as a Substituted Member and be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The restrictions in (i) this Section 9.02 shall not apply in the case of a merger or consolidation involving the entire Company, which requires approval pursuant to Section 6.01(b), (ii) Sections 9.03, 9.04 and 9.05 shall not apply to Dispositions to Permitted Transferees and (iii) Sections 9.03 and 9.04 (other than Section 9.04(c)) shall not apply to any Dispositions by Enterprise Parent or its Permitted Transferees admitted as Substituted Members pursuant to this Section 9.02.

                (b)        Admission of Transferee as a Member. Upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) and the other provisions of Article 9, a Transferee has the right to be admitted to the Company as a Member (in such capacity, a “Substituted Member”), with the Disposed Membership Interest so transferred to such Transferee.

                        (i)        Any Disposition of a Membership Interest and any admission of a Transferee as a Member shall be subject to the following requirements, and such Disposition shall not be effective unless such requirements are complied with; provided, however, that the Board of Directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, may waive any of the following requirements:

                (A)        The following documents must be delivered to the Board of Directors and must be reasonably satisfactory, in form and substance, to the Board of Directors:

                (I)        A copy of the instrument pursuant to which the Disposition is effected.

                (II)        An instrument, executed by the Disposing Member and its Transferee, containing the following information and agreements, to the extent they are not contained in the instrument described in Section 9.02(b)(i)(A)(I): (a) the notice address of the Transferee; (b) the Transferee’s ratification of this Agreement and agreement to be bound by it and assumption of all of the transferor Member’s liabilities under this Agreement; (c) representations and warranties by the Disposing Member and its Transferee that the Disposition is being made in accordance with all applicable Laws; and (d) representations and warranties of the Transferee similar to those contained in Section 10.01 hereof.

                (B)        The Disposition must be made pursuant to a valid exemption from registration under those Laws and in accordance with those Laws.

                (C)        The Disposing Member and its Transferee shall pay, or reimburse the Company for, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Disposition, on or before the tenth Business Day after the receipt by that Person of the Company’s invoice for the amount due.

25

                        (ii)        No Disposition of a Membership Interest shall effect a release of the Disposing Member from any liabilities to the Company or the other Members arising from events occurring prior to the Disposition.

                (c)        Clarification Regarding Transfer of Equity Interests in Members. The Disposition by the equity owner(s) of a Member of all or any portion of the equity interests in such Member shall not constitute a Disposition of a Membership Interest for purposes of this Agreement.

                (d)        Special Restrictions applicable to El Paso GP Holdco. El Paso GP Holdco (and any Transferee thereof admitted as a Substituted Member pursuant to this Section 9.02) may (i) only Dispose of its Membership Interest in its entirety and not in part (by operation of Law or otherwise), and the Transferee thereof must be and remain a single Person, (ii) not Dispose of its Membership Interest (other than to a Permitted Transferee or pursuant to Section 9.05) prior to the 180^th day following the Effective Date unless Enterprise Parent has given its prior written consent to such Disposition, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Enterprise Parent and (iii) Dispose of its Membership Interest to a Competitor only if Enterprise Parent has given its prior written consent to such Disposition, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that from and after such Disposition to a Competitor (A) any rights granted to El Paso GP Holdco (or such Transferee) pursuant to Section 6.01(b) shall terminate in full, and any action set forth in Section 6.01(b) shall thereafter only require the consent of Enterprise Parent, (B) any rights granted to El Paso GP Holdco (or such Transferee) in Section 9.05(a) shall terminate in full and El Paso GP Holdco (or such Transferee) shall have no further rights thereunder, and (C) the right of the Company to compel El Paso GP Holdco to exchange its Membership Interest pursuant to Article II of the Exchange Agreement in accordance with Section 2.5(b) of the Exchange Agreement shall be accelerated and shall be exercisable at any time from and after Enterprise Parent’s consent is given. The restriction set forth in Section 9.02(d)(ii) shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 2.5(c) of the Exchange Agreement.

                (e)        If any Exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement is treated as a redemption of the Membership Interest of El Paso GP Holdco (and any Transferee thereof admitted as a Substituted Member pursuant to this Section 9.02), upon such Exchange, the Sharing Ratio of El Paso GP Holdco (or such Transferee) shall be reduced, and the Sharing Ratios of Enterprise Parent (and any Transferee thereof admitted as a Substituted Member pursuant to this Section 9.02) shall be increased (proportionately among all such Members), by the amount of the Membership Interest so Exchanged.

        9.03    Preferential Purchase Right.

        (a)        Procedure. If at any time El Paso GP Holdco or any of its Transferees admitted as Substituted Members pursuant to Section 9.02 proposes to Dispose of its Membership Interest to anyone other than a Permitted Transferee, it shall promptly give notice thereof (“Disposition Notice”) to the other Members. Such Disposition Notice shall constitute an offer to sell such Membership Interest in accordance with this Section 9.03. The Disposition Notice shall include as an attachment the purchase and sale agreement entered into by the Disposing Member, which shall set forth all relevant information with respect to the bona fide

26

third party offer received by the Member (which offer shall be a legal, valid and binding obligation of the potential Transferee) and the proposed Disposition, including the name and address of the prospective Transferee, the price to be paid for such Membership Interest, any other terms and conditions of the offer and proposed Disposition and, if any portion of the purchase price is to be paid in Non-Cash Consideration, the information required by Section 9.03(d). The non-Disposing Members shall have the preferential right (“Preferential Right”) but not the obligation to acquire in proportion to their ownership of the Company, or as otherwise agreed among such non-Disposing Members, all, but not less than all, of the Membership Interest that is subject to Disposition for 103% of the purchase price proposed to be paid by the potential Transferee pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (the “Preferential Purchase Price”) (which, in the case of Non-Cash Consideration, shall be deemed to be 103% of the fair market value of such Non-Cash Consideration as determined in accordance with Section 9.03(d)), and on the same terms and conditions (other than the purchase price, which shall instead be the Preferential Purchase Price), as are set forth in the Disposition Notice. Each non-Disposing Member shall have 15 Business Days following the receipt of the Disposition Notice in which to notify the Disposing Member and the Company whether it desires to exercise its Preferential Right, and if it fails to so exercise within such 15 Business Day period, such Member shall be deemed to have waived its Preferential Right (but not any future Preferential Right).

        (b)        Closing. If the Preferential Right is exercised in accordance with Section 9.03(a), the closing of the purchase of the Membership Interest shall occur at the principal place of business of the Company on the terms set forth in the Disposition Notice, unless the Disposing Member and the purchasing Member agree upon a different place or date. At the closing, the Disposing Member shall execute and deliver to the purchasing Member an assignment of the Membership Interest that is subject to Disposition, free and clear of Encumbrances other than those created pursuant to this Agreement or the purchasing Member and any other instruments reasonably requested by the purchasing Member to give effect to the purchase. The purchasing Member shall deliver to the Disposing Member in immediately available funds the purchase price provided for in Section 9.03(a). Upon the completion of the closing of the purchase, the Membership Interests, Sharing Ratios and Capital Accounts of the Members shall be deemed adjusted to reflect the effect of the purchase.

        (c)        Waiver of Preferential Right. If the Non-Disposing Members waive or are deemed to have waived the Preferential Right, the Disposing Member shall have the right to Dispose of the Membership Interest described in the Disposition Notice to the proposed Transferee strictly in accordance with the Disposition Notice for a period of 15 Business Days after the expiration of the last applicable period referred to in such Section 9.03(a). If, however, the Disposing Member fails so to Dispose of its Membership Interest within such 15-Business Day period, the proposed Disposition shall again become subject to the Preferential Right in accordance with Section 9.03(a).

        (d)        Non-Cash Consideration. If any portion of the purchase price is to be paid in a form other than cash or cash equivalents (including real or personal property, promissory notes, securities, contractual benefits, assumption of liabilities or anything else of value) (“Non-Cash Consideration”), the Disposing Member shall state in its Disposition Notice its determination of the aggregate fair market value of such Non-Cash Consideration. If any non-

27

Disposing Member disagrees with such determination, it shall notify the Disposing Member of such disagreement within ten Business Days of receiving the Disposition Notice. If a dispute as to the aggregate fair market value of the Non-Cash Consideration is not resolved within five Business Days after such notice, the Disposing Member or any non-Disposing Member may require an appraisal by delivering a written notice (“Appraisal Notice”) requesting an independent appraisal. In such event, the value of the Non-Cash Consideration shall be determined by one investment banking firm of nationally-recognized standing, agreed upon by the Disposing Member and the non-Disposing Members objecting to the fair market value of the Non-Cash Consideration stated in the Disposition Notice, or, failing such agreement, appointed by the Presiding Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, pursuant to a petition to compel appraisal. The fair market value of the Non-Cash Consideration shall be the amount determined by the investment banking firm selected in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. The Disposing Member, on the one hand, and the non-Disposing Members who have disagreed with the Disposing Member’s determination of the aggregate fair market value of the Non-Cash Consideration, on the other hand, shall bear the expenses associated with any such appraisal equally.

        9.04    Change of Member Control.

        (a)        Procedure. In the event of a Change of Member Control, the Member with respect to which the Change of Member Control has occurred (the “Changing Member”) shall promptly (and in all events within five Business Days after the Change of Member Control) give notice thereof (“Control Notice”) to the Company and the other Members. If the Control Notice is not given by the Changing Member as provided above and any other Member becomes aware of such Change of Member Control, such other Member shall have the right to give the Control Notice to the Changing Member, the Company and the other Members.

        (b)        Buy-out Right. If a Control Notice is given in accordance with Section 9.04(a) that involves or relates to a Change of Member Control of El Paso GP Holdco (or any Transferee thereof admitted as a Substituted Member pursuant to Section 9.02), then the Company, first, and the other Members, second, shall have the right (“Buy-out Right”) but not the obligation to acquire the Membership Interest of the Changing Member for the fair market value thereof. For purposes of this Section 9.04, fair market value means the cash value for which a third-party buyer and third-party seller under no compulsion would be willing to buy or sell the Membership Interest of the Changing Member. The Changing Member shall deliver its proposed fair market value (“FMV Notice”) of its Membership Interest to the Company and the other Members within five Business Days after the delivery of the Control Notice. The Company and each Member shall have 15 Business Days after receipt of the FMV Notice to dispute the fair market value set forth therein by notice to the Changing Member. If the Company or any other Member disputes the fair market value set forth in the FMV Notice, then the parties shall attempt to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within 15 Business Days after delivery of the dispute notice, then the fair market value of the Changing Member’s Membership Interest shall be determined by one investment banking firm of nationally-recognized standing, agreed upon by the Company, the Changing Member and the other Members or failing such agreement, appointed by the Presiding Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, pursuant to a petition to compel appraisal. If such dispute is submitted to the investment banking firm selected in

28

accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the fair market value of the Changing Member’s Membership Interest shall be the amount determined by such investment banking firm. The fair market value of the Changing Member’s Membership Interest determined as set forth in this Section 9.04(a) shall be the “Fair Market Value.”The Changing Member shall pay the expenses associated with any such appraisal. The following procedures shall govern the exercise and closing of the Buy-out Right:

                        (i)        Company Right. The Company shall have the right but not the obligation to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Changing Member’s Membership Interest at the Fair Market Value. The Company shall have 15 Business Days following the determination of the Fair Market Value in which to notify the Members whether the Company desires to exercise its Buy-out Right. If the Company fails to exercise its Buy-out Right during such 15 Business Day period, then the Company’s Buy-out Right shall be deemed to have been waived for the subject Change of Member Control, but not for any future Change of Member Control.

                        (ii)        Non-Changing Members Right. If the Company fails to exercise its Buy-out Right within 15 Business Days following the determination of the Fair Market Value, each Member (excluding the Changing Member) shall have the right (but not the obligation) to acquire a portion of the applicable Membership Interest that is equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the Sharing Ratio attributable to the Membership Interest held by such non-Changing Member as of the date of the Control Notice and the denominator of which is the aggregate Sharing Ratios for all Membership Interests held by the non-Changing Members as of the date of the Control Notice. Each Member (other than the Changing Member) shall have 15 Business Days following the determination of the Fair Market Value of such Membership Interest in which to notify the other Members (including the Changing Member) whether such Member desires to exercise its Buy-out Right. A notice in which a Member exercises such Buy-out Right is referred to herein as a “Change Exercise Notice,” and a Member that delivers a Change Exercise Notice is referred to herein as a “Change Purchasing Member.” A Member that fails to exercise its Buy-out Right during such 15 Business Day period shall be deemed to have waived such right for the subject Change of Member Control, but not any right for any future Change of Member Control. If the Change Purchasing Members constitute less than all of the Members (other than the Changing Member), and consequently, there is a portion of the Changing Member’s Membership Interest for which such Buy-out Right has not been exercised (“Change Unexercised Portion”), then each Change Purchasing Member shall have three Business Days following the end of such 15 Business Day period in which to notify the other Change Purchasing Members and the Changing Member whether it desires to acquire the portion of the Change Unexercised Portion that is equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the Sharing Ratio attributable to the Membership Interest held by such Change Purchasing Member and the denominator of which is the aggregate Sharing Ratios for the Membership Interests held by all Change Purchasing Members. If, at the end of such three Business Day period, there remains a Change Unexercised Portion, then the Change Purchasing Members shall have an additional three Business Day period in which to negotiate among themselves for a mutually-agreeable method of sharing the acquisition of the remaining Change Unexercised Portion. If the Change Purchasing Members are able to reach such agreement during such three Business Day period or if there is no longer a Change Unexercised Portion, then the Buy-out Right shall be deemed exercised by the Change Purchasing Members, and the Changing Member and the Change Purchasing Members shall close the acquisition of the Membership Interest in

29

accordance with Section 9.04(b)(iii). If, however, the Change Purchasing Members are unable to reach such agreement during such three Business Day period, then the Buy-out Right shall be deemed to have been waived by the Change Purchasing Members. A Member that fails to exercise a right during any applicable period set forth in this Section 9.04(b)(ii) shall be deemed to have waived such right for the subject Change of Member Control, but not any right for any future Change of Member Control.

                        (iii)        Closing. If the Buy-out Right is exercised in accordance with Section 9.04(b)(i) or (ii), the closing of the purchase of the Membership Interest shall occur at the principal place of business of the Company on the ^30th Day after the expiration of the last applicable period referred to in such Section 9.04(b)(i) or (ii) (or such longer period as may be necessary to comply with any waiting periods imposed by Governmental Authorities or to receive any approvals required by Law, such period not to exceed 180 days after the last applicable period referred to in Section 9.04(b)(i) or (ii), unless the Changing Member and the Company or the Change Purchasing Members, as applicable, agree upon a different place or date. At the closing, the Changing Member shall execute and deliver to the Company or the Change Purchasing Members, as applicable, an assignment of the Membership Interest that is subject to such Change of Member Control free and clear of Encumbrances, other than those created by this Agreement or by the Change Purchasing Members, and any other instruments reasonably requested by the Company or the Change Purchasing Members, as applicable, to give effect to the purchase. The Company or the Change Purchasing Members, as applicable, shall deliver to the Changing Member in immediately available funds the purchase price provided for in Section 9.04(b), and the Membership Interests, Sharing Ratios and Capital Accounts of the Members shall be deemed adjusted to reflect the effect of the purchase.

                (c)        Exchange Right. If a Control Notice is given in accordance with Section 9.04(a) that involves or relates to a Change of Member Control of Enterprise Parent (or Permitted Transferees thereof admitted as Substituted Members pursuant to Section 9.02) such that following such Change of Member Control, Enterprise Parent Controls 50% or less of the total Membership Interests outstanding after such Change of Member Control, El Paso GP Holdco (or a Transferee thereof admitted as a Substituted Member pursuant to Section 9.02) shall have the right to elect to exercise its Exchange Right under Article II of the Exchange Agreement to exchange all of its Membership Interest for Common Units (without regard to the Section 16 Cap), which Exchange Right shall be exercisable whether or not otherwise then exercisable under the terms and provisions of the Exchange Agreement.

        9.05    Tag-Along and Drag-Along Rights.

                (a)        El Paso GP Holdco Tag-Along Rights. If either or both of Enterprise Parent 1 or Enterprise Parent 2 (or a Transferee thereof admitted as a Substituted Member pursuant to Section 9.02) (singly or collectively, the “Tag-Initiating Member”) proposes to Dispose of any of their Membership Interests, other than to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to Section 9.02 or in a transaction subject to Section 9.05(b) (such proposed Disposal is referred to herein as a “Proposed Tag-Along Disposition”), the Tag-Initiating Member shall offer (the “Tag-Along Offer”) to El Paso GP Holdco (or its Transferees admitted as Substituted Members pursuant to Section 9.02) (the “Tag-Along Member”) to include in the Proposed Tag-Along Disposition a pro rata portion of the Membership Interests owned by the Tag-Along Member (the

30

“Pro Rata Tag-Along Membership Interest”). The mechanics for a Tag-Along Offer are as follows:

                        (i)        The Tag-Along Offer shall be made in writing and shall specify the name of the proposed Transferee, the Membership Interest to be Disposed of by the Tag-Initiating Member to such proposed Transferee, the material terms of such Proposed Tag-Along Disposition, including the amount and type of consideration to be received therefor and the anticipated place and date on which the Proposed Tag-Along Disposition is to be consummated;

                        (ii)        For the avoidance of doubt, the Pro Rata Tag-Along Membership Interest to be included in Proposed Tag-Along Transaction shall be calculated by multiplying the total Membership Interests held by the Tag-Along Member by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Membership Interest to be Disposed of by the Tag-Initiating Member and the denominator of which is the Tag-Initiating Member’s total Membership Interest;

                        (iii)        If the Tag-Along Member wishes to include its Pro Rata Tag Along Membership Interest in the Proposed Tag-Along Disposition in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.05(a) (the “Tag-Along Electing Member”), such Tag-Along Electing Member shall so notify the Tag-Initiating Member not more than fifteen (15) days after its receipt of the Tag-Along Offer (“Tag-Along Acceptance Notice”). The Tag-Along Offer shall be conditioned upon the Tag-Initiating Member’s Disposition of its Pro Rata Tag Along Membership Interest pursuant to the transaction(s) contemplated therein with the proposed Transferee named therein. If any Tag-Along Member timely accepts the Tag-Along Offer in accordance with this Section 9.05(a), then the Tag-Initiating Member shall permit the Tag-Along Electing Member to sell its Pro Rata Tag Along Membership Interest under this Section 9.05(a), and the Tag-Initiating Member and the Tag-Along Electing Member (collectively, the “Selling Members”) shall sell the Membership Interests specified in the Tag-Along Offer to the proposed Transferee in accordance with the terms set forth therein; provided, however, that the Tag-Initiating Member may elect in its sole discretion (and shall not otherwise be deemed to owe any duty or responsibility to the Tag-Along Electing Member to proceed) to terminate or otherwise not to sell its Membership Interest in the Proposed Tag-Along Disposition, in which case, the obligations under this Section 9.05(a) in respect of such Proposed Tag-Along Disposition shall cease;

                        (iv)        If the proposed consideration to be paid to the Selling Members by the non-Affiliate purchaser in the Proposed Tag-Along Disposition does not consist entirely of cash and/or marketable securities, then a Tag-Along Electing Member may elect to receive, in lieu of such other consideration, cash equal to the fair market value of such consideration. If the Tag-Initiating Member and the Tag-Along Electing Member do not agree on the fair market value of such consideration within ten (10) days following the date of receipt of the Tag-Along Acceptance Notice by the Tag-Along Electing Member, the fair market value of such consideration shall be determined by one investment banking firm of nationally recognized standing, agreed upon by the Selling Members or, failing such agreement, appointed by the Presiding Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, pursuant to a petition to compel appraisal. The determination of fair market value of the consideration by the selected firm, however such firm was selected, shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties. The aggregate fees and expenses of any such firms shall be borne

31

one-half by the Tag-Initiating Member and one-half by the Tag-Along Electing Member. Such cash election shall be made in the Tag-Along Acceptance Notice provided by the Tag-Along Electing Member to the Tag-Initiating Member. Upon receipt of such an election, the Tag-Initiating Member shall be obligated to pay such consideration or to cause such consideration to be paid to the Tag-Along Electing Member in cash; and

                        (v)        If for any reason an agreement for such Proposed Tag-Along Disposition is not executed by the Selling Members and the prospective Transferee within one-hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the Tag-Along Offer or, if so executed, the transaction with such prospective Transferee thereafter should fail to close, the Tag-Initiating Member must comply with the provisions set forth in this Section 9.05(a), to the extent applicable, prior to making any subsequent Disposition of its Membership Interest.

                (b)        Enterprise Parent Drag-Along Rights. If either or both of Enterprise Parent 1 or Enterprise Parent 2 (or a Transferee thereof admitted as a Substituted Member pursuant to Section 9.02) (singly or collectively, the “Drag-Initiating Member”) proposes to Dispose of any of its Membership Interest, other than to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to Section 9.02, such that, immediately following such Disposition, Enterprise Parent would retain 50% or less of the total Membership Interests outstanding immediately after such Disposition (a “Proposed Drag-Along Disposition”), the Drag-Initiating Member shall give El Paso GP Holdco (or any Transferee thereof admitted as a Substituted Member pursuant to Section 9.02) (the “Drag-Along Member”) written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expected consummation of the Proposed Drag-Along Transaction. The Drag-Initiating Member shall have the right (the “Drag-Along Right”), but not the obligation, to require the Drag-Along Member to sell all, but not less than all, of its Membership Interest pursuant to this Section 9.05(b). The mechanics of the Proposed-Drag Along Disposition are as follows:

                        (i)        The Drag-Along Notice shall indicate whether or not the Drag-Initiating Member is exercising its Drag-Along Right and shall specify the name of the proposed Transferee, the Membership Interest to be Disposed of by the Drag-Initiating Member to such proposed Transferee, the material terms of such Proposed Drag-Along Disposition, including the amount and type of consideration to be received therefor and the anticipated place and date on which the Proposed Drag-Along Disposition is to be consummated;

                        (ii)        if the Drag-Along Notice indicates that the Drag-Initiating Member is exercising its Drag-Along Right, the Drag-Along Member will then have 10 days during which to deliver written notice to the Drag-Initiating Member indicating whether the Drag-Along Member elects to (A) include all of its Membership Interest in the Proposed Drag-Along Disposition for the same consideration, on a pro rata basis, as is to be received by the Drag-Initiating Member for the Disposition of its Membership Interest or (B) exercise its Exchange Right under Article II of the Exchange Agreement to exchange all of its Membership Interest for Common Units (without regard to the Section 16 Cap);

                        (iii)        if the Drag-Along Notice indicates that the Drag-Initiating Member is not exercising its Drag-Along Right, the Drag-Along Member will then have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Drag-Initiating Member on or before the 10^th day after

32

delivery of the Drag-Along Notice, to exercise its Exchange Right under Article II of the Exchange Agreement to exchange all of its Membership Interest for Common Units (without regard to the Section 16 Cap);

                        (iv)        if the Drag-Along Member exercises its Exchange Right under Section 9.05(b)(ii)(B) or 9.05(b)(iii), such Exchange shall be consummated and Exchange Units shall be issued to the Drag-Along Member (A) pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement and (B) at the Drag-Initiating Member’s option, prior to or concurrently with the closing of the Proposed Drag-Along Transaction.

                (c)        Representations and Warranties; Additional Actions. If El Paso GP Holdco (or its Transferee admitted as a Substituted Member pursuant to Section 9.02) shall Dispose of its Membership Interest under Section 9.05(a) or (b), it shall represent and warrant to the Transferee (i) as to its ownership of such Membership Interests to be Disposed of, (ii) that such Membership Interests are to be Disposed of free and clear of any Encumbrance and (iii) as to its power and authority to effect such Disposition. If either the Tag-Along Electing Member or Drag-Initiating Member elects to exercise its rights under Section 9.05(a) or (b), respectively, the Tag-Along Electing Member or Drag-Along Member, as applicable, shall take such actions as may be reasonably required, and otherwise cooperate in good faith, in connection with consummating the Proposed Tag-Along Disposition or Proposed Drag-Along Disposition.

                (d)        Type of Consideration. The provisions of Section 9.05(a) or (b) shall apply regardless of the type of consideration to be received in the Proposed Tag-Along Disposition or Proposed Drag-Along Disposition.

                (e)        Disposition of Membership Interests. If, after compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.05, any Membership Interests are Disposed of by a Member to any Person not a party to this Agreement, such Disposition shall be consummated pursuant to and in compliance with Section 9.02(b). Following such Disposition, the terms “Member” and “Members” shall be deemed to mean and include such permitted Transferee for all purposes of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 10
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF MEMBERS

        10.01    Representations and Warranties.    Each Member represents and warrants as of the date hereof that (a) such Member is duly organized or formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the Law of the state of such Member’s incorporation, organization or formation and is duly qualified and in good standing under the Law of any states that require such Member to be so qualified and in good standing in order for the Company to be qualified to do business therein, (b) such Member has full corporate, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other applicable power and authority to execute, agree to and perform such Member’s obligations under this Agreement, (c) all necessary actions by the board of directors, shareholders, managers, members, partners, trustees, beneficiaries, or other Persons necessary for the due authorization, execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by such Member have been duly taken, (d) such Member has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement is enforceable against such Member in accordance with its terms, subject to Bankruptcy,

33

moratorium, insolvency and principles of equity, and (e) such Member’s authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not conflict with any other material agreement or arrangement to which such Member is a party or by which such Member is bound.

        10.02    Subject Business Activities.    Nothing in this Agreement, nor any fiduciary duties, shall prevent Affiliates of the Members from pursuing or engaging in business opportunities, transactions, ventures or other arrangements of any nature or description, without the consent of the other Members of the Company, in which the Company or the MLP or their Controlled Affiliates are engaged or participating, even if the Member Affiliate’s pursuit of or engagement in such activity places it in direct competition with the Company, the MLP or their Controlled Affiliates within a relevant market or geographic location; and no Member, nor any Affiliate of a Member, shall have any obligation to present any business opportunity to the Company or the other Members before pursuing or engaging in such opportunity.

        10.03    Bankrupt Members.    If any Member becomes Bankrupt (a “Bankrupt Member”), the Company, by approval of Members holding a majority of the outstanding Membership Interests (excluding any Bankrupt Member) or, if the Company does not exercise the relevant option, the non-Bankrupt Members which desire to participate, will have the option, exercisable by notice from the Company or the Members, as the case may be, to the Bankrupt Member (or its representative) at any time prior to the 180^th day after receipt of notice of the occurrence of the event causing it to become a Bankrupt Member, to buy, and, on the exercise of this option, the Bankrupt Member or its representative will sell, its Membership Interest. The purchase price will be an amount equal to the fair market value thereof determined by agreement by the Bankrupt Member (or its representative) and the potential purchaser; however, if those Persons do not agree on the fair market value on or before the 90^th day following the date of receipt by such potential purchaser of notice of the occurrence of the event causing the Member to become a Bankrupt Member, either such Person, by written notice to the other, may require the determination of fair market value to be made by an independent appraiser specified in such notice. If the Person receiving that notice objects on or before the tenth day following receipt to the independent appraiser designated in that notice, and those Persons otherwise fail to agree on an independent appraiser, either such Person may petition the United States District Judge for the Southern District of Texas then senior in active service to designate an independent appraiser, whose determination of the independent appraiser, however designated, is final and binding on all parties. The Bankrupt Member and the potential purchaser each will pay one-half of the costs of the appraisal and court costs in appointing an appraiser (if any). If the potential purchaser then elects, within ten Days after the fair market value has been decided by agreement or by an independent appraiser, to exercise the purchase option, the purchasing Person will pay the fair market value as so determined in cash on closing. The payment to be made to the Bankrupt Member or its representative pursuant to this Section 10.03 is in complete liquidation and satisfaction of all the rights and interest of the Bankrupt Member and its representative (and of all Persons claiming by, through, or under the Bankrupt Member and its representative) in and in respect of the Company, including, without limitation, any Membership Interest, any rights in specific Company property, and any rights against the Company or its Subsidiaries and its Officers, agents, and representatives and (insofar as the affairs of the Company are concerned) against the Members.

DISSOLUTION, WINDING-UP AND TERMINATION

        11.01    Dissolution.

                (a)        The Company shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up on the first to occur of the following events (each a “Dissolution Event”):

                        (i)        the unanimous consent of the Board of Directors;

                        (ii)        the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 18-802 of the Act;

                        (iii)        at any time there are no Members of the Company, unless the Company is continued in accordance with the Act or this Agreement.

                (b)        No other event shall cause a dissolution of the Company.

                (c)        Upon the occurrence of any event that causes there to be no Members of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of the last remaining Member is hereby authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such Member in the Company, agree in writing (i) to continue the Company and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute Member of the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such Member in the Company.

                (d)        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of a Member shall not cause such Member to cease to be a member of the Company and, upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company shall continue without dissolution.

        11.02    Winding-Up and Termination.

                (a)        On the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the Board of Directors shall select one or more Persons to act as liquidator. The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The costs of winding up shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Board of Directors. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

                        (i)        as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final winding up, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last calendar day of the month in which the dissolution occurs or the final winding up is completed, as applicable;

                        (ii)        the liquidator shall discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company or otherwise make adequate provision for

35

payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine); and

                        (iii)        all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members as follows:

                (A)        the liquidator may sell any or all Company property, including to Members, and any resulting gain or loss from each sale shall be computed and allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Member in accordance with the provisions of Articles 4 and 5;

                (B)        with respect to all Company property that has not been sold, the fair market value of that property shall be determined and the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss, and deduction inherent in property that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously would be allocated among the Members if there were a taxable Disposition of that property for the fair market value of that property on the date of distribution; and

                (C)        after adjusting the Capital Accounts for all distributions made under Section 5.01 and all allocations under Article 5, Company property (including cash) shall be distributed to all of the Members in amounts equal to the Members’ positive Capital Account balances; and those distributions shall be made by the end of the taxable year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, 90 Days after the date of the liquidation).

                (b)        The distribution of cash or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.02 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its share of all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act. No Member shall be required to make any Capital Contribution to the Company to enable the Company to make the distributions described in this Section 11.02.

                (c)        On completion of such final distribution, the liquidator shall file a Certificate of Cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the existence of the Company.

        11.03    Deficit Capital Accounts.    No Member will be required to pay to the Company, to any other Member or to any third party any deficit balance that may exist from time to time in the Member’s Capital Account.

ARTICLE 13
GENERAL PROVISIONS

        13.01    Notices.    Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests or consents provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered to the recipient in person, by courier or mail or by facsimile or other electronic transmission and a notice, request or consent given under this Agreement is effective on receipt by the Person to receive it; provided, however, that a facsimile or other electronic transmission that is transmitted after the normal business hours of the recipient shall be deemed effective on the next Business Day. All notices, requests and consents to be sent to a Member must be sent to or made at the addresses given for that Member on Exhibit A or in the instrument specified in Section 9.02(b)(i)(A)(I) or (II), or such other address as that Member may specify by notice to the other Members. Any notice, request or consent to the Company must be given to all of the Members. Whenever any notice is required to be given by applicable Law, the Organizational Certificate or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given by Law, the Organizational Certificate or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

        13.02    Entire Agreement; Supersedure.    This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Members and their respective Affiliates relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the Company, whether oral or written.

        13.03    Effect of Waiver or Consent.    Except as provided in this Agreement, a waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company. Except as provided in this Agreement, failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

        13.04    Amendment or Restatement.    This Agreement may be amended or restated only by a written instrument executed by all Members; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Member agrees that the Board of Directors, without the approval of any Member, may amend any provision of the Organizational Certificate and this Agreement, and may authorize any Officer to execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record any such amendment and whatever documents may be required in connection therewith, to reflect (a) any changes resulting from the consummation of any Exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, including any adjustments to the Sharing Ratios, or (b) any change that does not require consent or approval (or for which such consent or approval has been obtained) under this Agreement or does not materially adversely affect the

39

rights of the Members; provided, further, that any amendment to Section 2.04 of this Agreement shall be deemed to materially affect the Members.

        13.05    Binding Effect.    This Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Members and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

        13.06    Governing Law; Severability.    THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and (a) any provision of the Organizational Certificate, or (b) any mandatory, non-waivable provision of the Act, such provision of the Organizational Certificate or the Act shall control. If any provision of the Act provides that it may be varied or superseded in the limited liability company agreement (or otherwise by agreement of the members or managers of a limited liability company), such provision shall be deemed superseded and waived in its entirety if this Agreement contains a provision addressing the same issue or subject matter. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, (a) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances is not affected thereby and that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by Law, and (b) the Members or Directors (as the case may be) shall negotiate in good faith to replace that provision with a new provision that is valid and enforceable and that puts the Members in substantially the same economic, business and legal position as they would have been in if the original provision had been valid and enforceable.

        13.07    Confidentiality.

                (a)        Except as permitted by Section 13.07(b), (i) each Member shall keep confidential all Confidential Information and shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, (ii) each Member shall cause its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers and employees to keep confidential all Confidential Information and to not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person, and (iii) each Member shall use the Confidential Information only in connection with the Company.

                (b)        Notwithstanding Section 13.07(a), but subject to the other provisions of this Section 13.07, a Member may make the following disclosures and uses of Confidential Information:

                        (i)        disclosures to another Member in connection with the Company;

                        (ii)        disclosures and uses that are approved by the Board of Directors;

                        (iii)        disclosures to an Affiliate of such Member (A) necessary for obtaining board approvals or as reasonably required for reporting purposes, and (B) on a “need to

40

know” basis in furtherance of the business of the Company, if such Affiliate has agreed to abide by the terms of this Section 13.07;

                        (iv)        disclosures to a Person that is not a Member or an Affiliate of a Member, if such Person has been retained by the Company or a Member to provide services in connection with the Company and has agreed to abide by the terms of this Section 13.07;

                        (v)        disclosures to a bona fide potential direct or indirect purchaser of such Member’s Membership Interest, if such potential purchaser has agreed to abide by the terms of this Section 13.07;

                        (vi)        disclosures to recognized financial institutions that are lenders or bona fide potential lenders to such Member, if such financial institution has agreed to abide by the terms of this Section 13.07;

                        (vii)        disclosures that a Member is legally compelled to make by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or similar process, or otherwise by Law or securities exchange requirements; provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure, such Member shall, to the extent legally permissible:

                (A)        provide the Board of Directors with prompt notice of such requirements so that one or more of the Members may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the terms of this Section 13.07(b)(vii);

                (B)        consult with the Board of Directors on the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow such disclosure; and

                (C)        cooperate with the Board of Directors and with the other Members in any attempt one or more of them may make to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy or assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the Confidential Information; and in the event such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the other Members waive compliance with the provisions hereof, such Member agrees (I) to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that, in the opinion of such Member’s counsel, such Member is legally required to disclose, and (II) to exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.

                (c)        Each Member shall take such precautionary measures as may be required to ensure (and such Member shall be responsible for) compliance with this Section 13.07 by any of its Affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, employees and agents, and other Persons to which it may disclose Confidential Information in accordance with this Section 13.07.

                (d)        Promptly after its withdrawal, a Withdrawing Member shall destroy (and provide a certificate of destruction to the Company with respect to), or return to the Company, all Confidential Information in its possession. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding

41

sentence, but subject to the other provisions of this Section 13.07, a Withdrawing Member may retain for a stated period, but not disclose to any other Person, Confidential Information for the limited purposes of preparing such Member’s tax returns and defending audits, investigations and proceedings relating thereto; provided, however, that the Withdrawing Member must notify the Board of Directors in advance of such retention and specify in such notice the stated period of such retention.

                (e)        The Members agree that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 13.07, the continuation of which unremedied will cause the Company and the other Members to suffer irreparable harm. Accordingly, the Members agree that the Company and the other Members shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that may be available to them, to immediate injunctive relief from any breach of any of the provisions of this Section 13.07 and to specific performance of their rights hereunder, as well as to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

                (f)        The obligations of the Members under this Section 13.07 (including the obligations of any Withdrawing Member) shall terminate on the second anniversary of the filing of a Certification of Cancellation pursuant to Section 11.02(c) of this Agreement following dissolution and winding up of the Company.

        13.08    Further Assurances.    In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and those transactions.

        13.09    Waiver of Certain Rights.    To the extent permitted by the Act and other Law, each Member irrevocably waives any right it may have to maintain any action for dissolution of the Company or for partition of the property of the Company.

        13.10    Offset.    Whenever the Company is to pay any sum to any Member, any amounts that a Member owes the Company may be deducted from that sum before payment.

        13.11    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.

        Section 2.4    Section 16 Cap.    Notwithstanding anything in this Article II to the contrary, if the Holder determines that the number of Exchange Units that would otherwise be delivered to the Holder in any single Exchange would result in the Holder and/or any of its affiliates directly or indirectly beneficially owning more than 9.9% of any class of equity security of Enterprise MLP which is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (calculated pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act) (a “9.9% Interest”), the number of Exchange Units delivered to the Holder shall be limited to the maximum amount of Exchange Units as would not result in the Holder and/or any of its affiliates directly or indirectly beneficially owning more than a 9.9% Interest (the “Section 16 Cap”); provided, however, that the parties hereto hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that at all times during the term of this Agreement (a) the Holder shall have the sole duty and responsibility to determine that the number of Exchange Units delivered in any Exchange does not exceed the Section 16 Cap and (b) neither Enterprise MLP nor Enterprise GP shall have any obligation to make any independent calculation or otherwise confirm that the number of Exchange Units delivered in any such Exchange does not exceed the Section 16 Cap limitation.

        Section 2.5     Timing of Exercise of Exchange Right.

        (a)        The Holder may exercise the Exchange Right at any time after the 180^th day following of the Step Two Closing Date, subject to earlier exercise upon the occurrence of the events described in Section 2.5(c) below.

6

        (b)        If the Holder has not elected to exercise the Exchange Right prior to the date that is 180 days after the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Step Two Closing Date, at any time thereafter, either of the Enterprise Members may elect to require the Holder to exercise the Exchange Right by delivering written notice to the Holder. The Exchange Formula applicable in the case of an election by either of the Enterprise Members under this Section 2.5(b) shall be calculated in the same manner as specified in Section 2.1 above (and in accordance with Sections 2.2, 2.9 and other applicable provisions of this Article II).

        (c)        Notwithstanding the limitations on the Holder’s right to exercise the Exchange Right in Section 2.5(a), the Holder may exercise the Exchange Right (i) upon the public announcement of execution of definitive transaction documents relating to (and in no event later than 10 days prior to the consummation of such transaction) the (A) completion of a merger of Enterprise MLP with another entity or (B) completion of the sale or other disposition by Enterprise MLP or Enterprise GP of all or substantially all of its assets, or (ii) at any time during the 10 days prior to the completion of a direct or indirect Change of Member Control of the Enterprise Members described in Section 9.04(e) of the Enterprise GP LLC Agreement and an election by the Holder to exercise the Exchange Right (as provided under Section 9.04(c) of the Enterprise GP LLC Agreement), (iii) upon the initiation of a Proposed Drag-Along Transaction (as defined in the Enterprise GP LLC Agreement) and an election by the Holder to exercise the Exchange Right (as provided under Section 9.05(b)(ii) of the Enterprise GP LLC Agreement), (iv) at any time during the 10 days prior to the completion of a liquidation of Enterprise MLP, (v) at any time during the 10 days after the declaration by Enterprise MLP of a distribution of Available Cash from Capital Surplus (as such term is defined in the Enterprise Partnership Agreement) or (vi) at any time after the commencement of a voluntary or an involuntary bankruptcy or similar proceeding against Enterprise Products Company or any of its material subsidiaries (including Enterprise GP), if at the time of such exercise there is then pending a proceeding seeking payment pursuant to ERISA from Enterprise GP of any amounts due relating to the termination of a benefit plan subject to ERISA.

        Section 2.6    Exchange Procedures and Settlement.

        (a)        Within five business days after the execution of the Acknowledgement, the Holder shall deliver written notice to Enterprise GP which notice must include a determination, made in good faith, that either (i) the total number of Exchange Units set forth in the Acknowledgement can be issued to the Holder in compliance with the Section 16 Cap limitation or (ii) a lesser number of Exchange Units must be delivered to the Holder in order to maintain compliance with the limitations of the Section 16 Cap (a “Confirmation Notice”). The Holder shall have sole responsibility and liability for determining the number of Exchange Units so included in the Confirmation Notice. Enterprise GP shall be entitled to rely, without independent investigation, entirely upon the number of Exchange Units set forth in the Confirmation Notice by the Holder as to the number of Exchange Units that may be delivered to the Holder in compliance with the Section 16 Cap limitation, and the parties hereto hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that Enterprise GP shall not have any obligation to make any independent calculation or otherwise confirm that the number of Exchange Units delivered complies with the Section 16 Cap limitation. Within five business days after receipt by Enterprise GP of a valid Confirmation Notice conforming to the requirements of this Section 2.6(a), Enterprise GP shall deliver to the Holder, at Enterprise GP’s sole election, one of the

7

following: (x) such number of Exchange Units set forth in such Confirmation Notice in fully certificated form, (y) cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Holder at least two business days beforehand in an amount equal to the fair market value (based on the average closing price of Common Units on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days next preceding the date of receipt by Enterprise GP of such Confirmation Notice) of the aggregate number of Exchange Units set forth in such Confirmation Notice or (z) a combination of (1) a number of Exchange Units in fully certificated form that is at least 10,000 Exchange Units but is less than the number set forth in the Confirmation Notice (the shortfall in Exchange Units below the number set forth in the Confirmation Notice being referred to as the “Exchange Unit Shortfall”) and (2) cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Holder at least two business days beforehand in an amount equal to the fair market value (based on the average closing price of Common Units on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days next preceding the date of receipt by Enterprise GP of such Confirmation Notice) of the Exchange Unit Shortfall.

        (b)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Exchange is effected hereunder following the record date established by Enterprise MLP for its Common Unit Quarterly Distribution for a particular calendar quarter but prior to the record date to be established by Enterprise GP for its distribution of GP Available Cash for such quarter, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon the date of distribution by Enterprise GP, the Holder Quarterly Distribution as if it were still an owner of its Membership Interest on the record date of Enterprise GP for its distribution of GP Available Cash for such quarter. For the sake of clarity and to assure that no negative inference is drawn from the language immediately above, in all other circumstances, the Holder will be entitled to any distribution from Enterprise GP and/or Enterprise MLP if it is the owner of a membership interest of Enterprise GP (including any unexchanged Membership Interest) or partnership interest of Enterprise MLP, respectively, on the applicable record date established for such distribution subject to the provisions of the Enterprise GP LLC Agreement and the Enterprise Partnership Agreement.

        (c)        Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Holder shall not be required to make any capital contribution to Enterprise GP in connection with the delivery of Exchange Units by Enterprise GP to the Holder upon exercise by the Holder of the Exchange Right hereunder.

        (d)        If the Holder, pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(ii), includes in the Confirmation Notice less than the Total Number of Exchange Units set forth in the Acknowledgement, then with respect to the Exchange Units not included in the Confirmation Notice (the “Section 16 Exchange Units”), Enterprise GP shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase all (but not less than all) of Holder’s remaining Membership Interest in consideration of the payment to the Holder of cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Holder at least two business days beforehand in an amount equal to the fair market value (based on the average closing price of Common Units on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days next preceding the date of receipt by Enterprise GP of such Confirmation Notice) of the Section 16 Exchange Units. Enterprise GP may exercise this right by notice to the Holder on or before the delivery by Enterprise GP to the Holder, pursuant to

8

Section 2.6(a), of Exchange Units, cash, or a combination thereof, and Enterprise GP shall make the payment to the Holder contemplated by this Section 2.6(d) concurrently with such delivery.

        Section 2.7    Additional Exchanges.

        (a)        If the effect of the application of the Section 16 Cap is to cause Enterprise GP to deliver less than the Total Number of Exchange Units to the Holder in the initial Exchange pursuant to this Article II (the “Initial Exchange”), provided that Enterprise GP has not purchased Holder’s remaining Membership Interest pursuant to Section 2.6(d), then on the first business day of each fiscal quarter of Enterprise MLP commencing thereafter the Holder shall provide written notice (an “Update Notice”) to Enterprise GP which must include a determination, made in good faith, whether the Holder may receive additional Exchange Units in compliance with the limitations of the Section 16 Cap and, if so, the requested number of additional Exchange Units to be delivered to the Holder (“Additional Exchange Units”) in exchange for the contribution of a corresponding portion (calculated in accordance with the Exchange Formula) of the Holder’s remaining Membership Interests; provided, however, that the maximum number of Additional Exchange Units that the Holder may request to be delivered pursuant to any Update Notice, and that Enterprise GP shall be obligated to deliver in response thereto, may not exceed the lesser of (i) the excess of the Total Number of Exchange Units over the sum of all Exchange Units delivered to the Holder prior to the date of such Update Notice (including Exchange Units issued in the Initial Exchange and all Additional Exchange Units issued in any subsequent Exchanges) and (ii) the maximum number of Additional Exchange Units that may be delivered to the Holder in compliance with the limitation of the Section 16 Cap; provided, further, Enterprise GP shall be entitled to rely, without independent investigation, entirely upon the number of Additional Exchange Units set forth by the Holder in the Update Notice as to the number of Exchange Units that may be delivered to the Holder in compliance with the limitation set forth in clause (ii) above, and the parties hereto hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that Enterprise GP shall have no obligation to make any independent calculation or otherwise confirm that such number of Additional Exchange Units issued complies with the limitation set forth in clause (ii) above.

        (b)        Within five business days of receipt of such Update Notice conforming to the requirements of Sections 2.7(a), Enterprise GP shall deliver to the Holder one of the following: (i) such number of Additional Exchange Units requested in the Update Notice in fully certificated form, (ii) cash in an amount equal to fair market value (based on the average closing price of Common Units on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days next preceding the date of receipt by Enterprise GP of such Update Notice) of the aggregate number of Additional Exchange Units set forth in such Update Notice by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Holder at least two business days beforehand or (iii) a combination of (A) a number of Additional Exchange Units in fully certificated form that is at least 10,000 Additional Exchange Units but is less than the number requested in the Update Notice (the shortfall in Additional Exchange Units below the number requested in the Update Notice being referred to as the “Additional Exchange Unit Shortfall”) and (B) cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Holder at least two business days beforehand in an amount equal to the fair market value (based on the average closing price of Common Units on the New York Stock

9

Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days next preceding the date of receipt by Enterprise GP of such Update Notice) of the Additional Exchange Unit Shortfall.

        Section 2.8    Reflection of Reduced Sharing Ratio.    Promptly following each Exchange pursuant to this Article II, Enterprise GP shall amend Exhibit A to the Enterprise GP LLC Agreement, in compliance with the procedures set forth therein, to reflect the reduced Sharing Ratio (as defined in the Enterprise GP LLC Agreement) attributable to Holder’s Membership Interest as a result of such Exchange.

        Section 2.9    Anti-Dilution Provisions.    During the period that commences upon the date of the initial election to exercise the Exchange Right and continues for so long as less than the Total Number of Exchange Units have been delivered to the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Article II, the excess of the Total Number of Exchange Units over the aggregate number of Exchange Units delivered in all prior Exchanges (such excess, the “Unissued Exchange Units”) shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows (provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be made to the extent the Holder has received a distribution attributable to such event on account of its remaining Membership Interest representing the Unissued Exchange Units):

        (a)        Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation. If Enterprise MLP reorganizes, merges, consolidates or otherwise combines with another Person in a transaction whereby all of the holders of Common Units will receive securities, property or assets of Enterprise MLP or its successor payable with respect to or in exchange for each Common Unit held, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall have the right to receive (in lieu of the Unissued Exchange Units), upon each subsequent Exchange following the consummation of such transaction, the number of securities, property or assets of Enterprise MLP or its successor resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation or other transaction as would have been issued or payable to the Holder if the Holder had held a number of Common Units equal to (and in lieu of) the total number of Unissued Exchange Units immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9(a) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, mergers, consolidations or other applicable transactions and to the stock or securities of any other Person that are at the time receivable upon exercise of the Exchange Right.

        (b)        Reclassification, etc. If Enterprise MLP, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, changes the Common Units or any other securities as to which the Exchange Right may apply hereunder into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, each subsequent Exchange in respect of Unissued Exchange Units shall thereafter represent the right to acquire upon each such Exchange such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable, as the result of such change, with respect to or in exchange for a number of Common Units equal to the total number of Unissued Exchange Units.

        (c)        Subdivision or Combination; Unit Dividends. If Enterprise MLP shall split, divide or combine its outstanding Common Units or declare and pay a dividend on its outstanding Common Units which consists of additional Common Units (including a split effected in the form of a dividend), then the total number of Unissued Exchange Units shall be adjusted, as of the opening of business on the effective date of such split, subdivision or

10

combination or the day after the day upon which such dividend or other distribution is paid to unitholders, as the case may be, to a new total number of Unissued Exchange Units determined by multiplying the total number of Unissued Exchange Units immediately prior to such payment or other distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of outstanding Common Units immediately after such split, dividend, combination or distribution and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of outstanding Common Units immediately prior to such split, dividend, combination or distribution.

        (d)        Other Distributions on Common Units. If Enterprise MLP shall make a distribution on its Common Units which consists of (i) limited partner interests of Enterprise MLP other than additional Common Units, evidences of its indebtedness, or assets (including distributions of Available Cash from Capital Surplus (as such term is defined in the Enterprise Partnership Agreement) or securities (other than Common Units), but excluding distributions of Available Cash from Operating Surplus (as such term is defined in the Enterprise Partnership Agreement)), then the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon each Exchange for Unissued Exchange Units, that portion of any such distribution which the Holder would have been entitled to receive, had such Exchange occurred immediately prior to the record date of such distribution; provided, however, that if any such distribution consists of property which has a limited life or expiration date (including but not limited to options, warrants or similar instruments), the Holder shall be entitled to receive such property on the date of such distribution. At the time of the record date established for any such distribution, Enterprise GP shall allocate sufficient reserves to ensure the timely and full performance of the provisions of this Section 2.9(d).

        (e)        Self Tender. If (i) Enterprise MLP shall engage in a tender offer for more than 10% of the Common Units issued and outstanding at such time and (ii) such tender offer is closed and payment is made for the Common Units purchased therein for a purchase price per unit that is at least 5% greater than the closing sales price per Common Unit on the trading day immediately preceding the announcement of such tender offer (the “Pre-Tender Value”), then the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon each Exchange for Unissued Exchange Units (in addition to such Exchange Units), the excess of the purchase price per Common Unit paid upon closing of the tender offer over the Pre-Tender Value per Common Unit multiplied by the total number of Unissued Exchange Units which would have been sold by the Holder if it tendered all of the Unissued Exchange Units to Enterprise MLP in such tender offer. Upon the closing of any such tender offer, Enterprise GP shall allocate sufficient reserves to ensure the timely and full performance of the provisions of this Section 2.9(e).

        (f)        No Other Adjustments. Other than specifically as set forth above in this Section 2.9, no adjustment shall be made to the total number Unissued Exchange Units as a result of or pursuant to the granting or issuance by Enterprise MLP of additional Common Units, or any security convertible thereinto or exercisable or exchangeable therefore, including without limitation (i) the issuance of Common Units or any other security of Enterprise MLP or any Affiliate thereof (including securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Units) pursuant to an underwritten public offering or a private placement, (ii) the issuance of Common Units or any other security of Enterprise MLP or any affiliate thereof (including securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Units) as consideration in an acquisition transaction, (iii) the issuance of Common Units or any other security of Enterprise MLP or any affiliate thereof (including securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Units)

11

pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan or in payment or satisfaction of any dividend upon or distribution to any class of unit or equity security of Enterprise MLP other than Common Units and (iv) the issuance of options, restricted Common Units or “phantom” units exercisable for or that upon vesting become Common Units, or the issuance of Common Units upon the exercise or vesting or such options or rights, to officers, employees or directors of, or consultants to, Enterprise MLP, Enterprise GP or any of their Affiliates.

        (g)        No Multiple Adjustments. In the event of any one circumstance which may give rise to an adjustment of the total number of Unissued Exchange Units under one or more of Sections 2.9(a) through 2.9(e) above, Enterprise GP may only apply the provisions of one of such paragraphs if necessary in order to avoid unreasonable results given the circumstances, such determination to be made in Enterprise GP’s good faith and reasonable discretion; provided, however, that a series of steps in a transaction or action shall not be considered one circumstance for the purposes of this Section 2.9(g).

        (h)        Calculation of Adjustments. Upon each occurrence of an event causing an adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.9, Enterprise GP will promptly (i) calculate such adjustment and retain a record of such calculation at its principal office and (ii) deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by an appropriate officer on behalf of Enterprise GP, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment, the method of calculation of the adjustment, and the number of Unissued Exchange Units and/or other securities, property or assets after giving effect to such adjustment (an “Adjustment Certificate”). If the Holder does not agree with such calculation, the Holder shall give written notice (an “Adjustment Dispute Notice”) to Enterprise GP within ten business days of the receipt of such Adjustment Certificate. If the parties are unable to mutually agree on the calculation of such adjustment within five business days of receipt by Enterprise GP of such Adjustment Dispute Notice, the parties shall each select a firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing within five business days, which firms shall then mutually agree upon a third firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing and refer the matter to such third firm for resolution within five additional business days. Such third firm shall determine the amount of such adjustment to the Total Number of Exchange Units within 15 business days of such referral. The aggregate fees and expense of such firms shall be borne in the following manner: one-half by the Holder and one-half by Enterprise GP. The determination by such firm of the calculation of the adjustment described in the Adjustment Notice shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties.

        Section 2.10    Nonseparability.    The Exchange Right is not separable from Holder’s Membership Interests. If El Paso GP Holdco or any subsequent Holder transfers such Membership Interests (which transfer may only be made in compliance with applicable provisions of the Enterprise GP LLC Agreement), the Exchange Right shall be transferred to such transferee who shall then constitute the Holder hereunder.

        Section 2.11   Listing.    Prior to the delivery of any Exchange Units pursuant to this Article II, Enterprise GP shall cause such Exchange Units to be approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange or such other exchange or quotation system on which the Common Units are then listed (to the extent such Exchange Units are not then so listed).

ARTICLE IV
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

        Section 4.1    Shelf Registration Statement.    Within 120 days after the Step Two Closing Date or, if earlier, within 30 days after the exercise of the Exchange Right by the Holder pursuant to Section 2.5(c) (the “Initial Shelf Filing Deadline”), Enterprise MLP shall file with the Commission a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Initial Shelf Registration Statement”) providing for the resale of an aggregate of (i) such number of Exchange Units that may be issued to the Holder pursuant to Article II based on the number of Common Units outstanding on the Step Two Closing Date and (ii) the aggregate number of Merger Units received by El Paso Sub 1 and El Paso Sub 2 upon closing of the Merger.

        Section 4.2    Additional Common Units.    If the Initial Shelf Registration Statement, even if supplemented or amended, does not have sufficient availability to provide for the resale of Exchange Units issued to the Holder, the Holder may request that Enterprise MLP file with the Commission one additional “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act to accommodate any resale of Exchange Units in such amounts as are requested at such time by the Holder in writing (a “Shelf Notice”). Enterprise MLP shall file such additional “shelf” registration statement (with the Initial Shelf Registration Statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”), if any, within 30 days after receipt by Enterprise MLP of a written request from the Holder (with the Initial Shelf Filing Deadline, a “Shelf Filing Deadline”).

        Section 4.3    Effectiveness.    Subject to the provisions of this Article IV, Enterprise MLP shall use its best efforts to cause (i) the Initial Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective within 60 days after the Initial Shelf Filing Deadline (the “Initial Effectiveness Target Date”) and (ii) any subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective no later than 90 days after delivery to Enterprise MLP by the Holder of a Shelf Notice (with the Initial Effectiveness Target Date, an “Effectiveness Target Date”) and in either case shall use best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to assure that it is available for resale of the Common Units by the Holder and that it conforms in all material respects with the requirements the Securities Act, in each case during the entire period (the “Effectiveness Period”) beginning on the date such Shelf Registration Statement shall first be declared effective under the Securities Act and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the sale pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement of all of the Registrable Securities registered under such Shelf Registration Statement and (ii) the date on which all of the Common Units registered under such Shelf Registration Statement are no longer Registrable Securities.

        Section 4.4    Information Furnished by Holder.    The Holder shall furnish to Enterprise MLP in writing, as soon as practicable after the earlier of (a) the exercise of the Exchange Right by the Holder pursuant to Section 2.5(c) and (b) 90 days after the Step Two Closing Date (in the case of the Initial Shelf Registration Statement) or after requesting the filing of an additional Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4.2, the information specified

13

in Items 507 and 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and any other information reasonably requested by Enterprise MLP for inclusion in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to the Securities Act. Notwithstanding Sections 4.1 and 4.2, Enterprise MLP shall not be required to file any such Shelf Registration Statement until the Holder has complied with the immediately preceding sentence. In addition, the Holder shall promptly furnish to Enterprise MLP (i) any additional information required to be disclosed in such Shelf Registration Statement in order to make the information previously furnished to Enterprise MLP by the Holder not materially misleading and (ii) any additional information as may be reasonably requested by Enterprise MLP for inclusion in any new prospectus or prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment. For purposes of this Section 4.4 and Sections 4.5 through 4.11, any reference to “Holder” shall also include El Paso Sub 1 and El Paso Sub 2.

        Section 4.5    Registration Procedures.

        (a)        In connection with each Shelf Registration Statement, Enterprise MLP shall comply with all the provisions of Section 4.5(b) hereof and shall, in accordance with Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 hereof, prepare and file with the Commission each Shelf Registration Statement relating to the registration on Form S-3 under the Securities Act.

        (b)        In connection with each Shelf Registration Statement and any related prospectus or prospectus supplement required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of Common Units, Enterprise MLP shall:

        (i)               Subject to any notice by Enterprise MLP in accordance with this Section 4.5(b) of the existence of any fact or event of the kind described in Section 4.5(b)(iii)(D), use its best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective during the Effectiveness Period; upon the occurrence of any event that would cause such Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus or prospectus supplement (A) to contain a material misstatement or omission or (B) not be effective and usable for resale of Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period, Enterprise MLP shall file promptly an appropriate amendment or supplement to or a document to be incorporated by reference into such Shelf Registration Statement or a report filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), use its best efforts to cause any such amendment to be declared effective and such Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus or prospectus supplement to become usable for their intended purposes as soon as practicable thereafter. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Enterprise MLP may suspend the effectiveness or use of and elect not to keep current such Shelf Registration Statement by written notice to the Holder for a period not to exceed an aggregate of 30 days in any 90-day period (each such period a “Suspension Period”) if:

        (x)        an event occurs and is continuing as a result of which such Shelf Registration Statement would, in Enterprise MLP’s reasonable judgment, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and

14

        (y)        Enterprise MLP reasonably determines that the disclosure of such event at such time would or could reasonably be expected to either (i) have a material adverse effect on the business or prospects of Enterprise MLP and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) adversely affect a material financing, acquisition or other transaction (existing or planned);

provided, that (A) in the event the disclosure relates to a previously undisclosed proposed or pending material business transaction, the disclosure of which would impede the Enterprise MLP’s ability to consummate such transaction, Enterprise MLP may extend a Suspension Period from 30 days to 45 days and (B) the Suspension Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any 365-day period. The Holder, by its acceptance of a Registrable Security, agrees to hold in confidence any communication by Enterprise MLP relating to an event described in Section 4.5(b)(i)(x) and (y) or Section 4.5(b)(iii)(D).

                (ii)       Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to such Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Effectiveness Period; cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement or supplement to the prospectus.

                (iii)       Advise the underwriter(s), if any, and, in the case of (A), (C) and (D) below, the Holder promptly and, if requested by such Persons, to confirm such advice in writing:

                (A)       when the prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective;

                (B)       of any request by the Commission for amendments to such Shelf Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the prospectus or for additional information relating thereto;

                (C)       of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes; or

                (D)       of the existence (but not the nature) of any fact or the happening of any event, during the Effectiveness Period, that makes any statement of a material fact made in such Shelf Registration Statement, the related prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in such Shelf Registration Statement,

15

the related prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in order to make the statements therein not misleading.

        If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Registrable Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, Enterprise MLP shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time.

                (iv)       Furnish to counsel for the Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, before filing with the Commission, a copy of such Shelf Registration Statement and copies of any prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to either of such Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus (other than documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Shelf Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel and underwriter(s), if any, for a period of three business days, and Enterprise MLP will not file such Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus (other than documents incorporated by reference) to which such counsel or the underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object within three business days after the receipt thereof.

                (v)       Make available pursuant to a confidentiality and non-use agreement at reasonable times for inspection by one or more representatives of the Holder any underwriter, if any, participating in any distribution pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, and any attorney or accountant retained by the Holder or any of the underwriter(s), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of Enterprise MLP as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise any applicable due diligence responsibilities and to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative or representatives of the Holder, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement after the filing thereof and before its effectiveness; provided, however, that the Holder shall be responsible for ensuring that any such information shall be kept confidential and not used for any purpose other than as contemplated hereby.

                (vi)       If requested by the Holder or the underwriter(s), if any, incorporate in such Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus, pursuant to a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such non-confidential information as the Holder and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation: (1) information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Registrable Securities, (2) information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, (3) the purchase price being paid therefor and (4) any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after Enterprise MLP is notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.

                (vii)       Furnish to the Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, at least one copy of such Shelf Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto (and any documents incorporated by reference

16

therein or exhibits thereto (or exhibits incorporated in such exhibits by reference) as such Person may request in writing).

                (viii)       Deliver to the Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request.

                (ix)       In the event of an Underwritten Offering, Enterprise MLP shall enter into a standard underwriting agreement with the underwriters and shall:

                (A)       upon request, furnish to the Holder and each underwriter, if any, in such substance and scope as they may reasonably request and as are customarily made by Enterprise MLP to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings, upon the date of closing of any sale of Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering:

        (1)       an officer’s certificate, dated the date of such closing, confirming, as of the date thereof, such matters as such parties may reasonably request;

        (2)       opinions, each dated the date of such closing, of counsel (inside and outside) to Enterprise MLP covering such matters as are customarily covered in legal opinions to underwriters in connection with primary underwritten offerings of securities by Enterprise MLP; and

        (3)       customary comfort letters, dated the date of such closing, from Enterprise MLP’s independent accountants (and from any other accountants whose report is contained or incorporated by reference in such Shelf Registration Statement), in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters to underwriters in connection with primary underwritten offerings of securities; provided, that if Enterprise MLP has used its best efforts to obtain such letters, Enterprise MLP shall not be responsible if the accountants do not agree to deliver same;

                (B)       set forth in full in the underwriting agreement, if any, indemnification provisions and procedures which provide rights no less protective than those set forth in Section 4.10 hereof with respect to all parties indemnified; and

                (C)       deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by such parties to evidence compliance with clause (A) above and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Holder pursuant to this clause (ix).

                (x)       Before any public offering of Registrable Securities, cooperate with the Holder, the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the Registrable Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Holder or underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or reasonably advisable to enable the disposition in such

17

jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that Enterprise MLP shall not be required (A) to register or qualify as a foreign limited partnership or a dealer of securities where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject or (B) to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not now so subject.

                (xi)       Cooperate with the Holder and the underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends (unless required by applicable securities laws); and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holder or the underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request within a reasonable time before any sale of Registrable Securities made by such underwriter(s).

                (xii)       Use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other U.S. governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, subject to the proviso in clause (x) above.

                (xiii)       Subject to Section 4.5(b)(i) hereof, if any fact or event contemplated by Section 4.5(b)(iii)(D) hereof shall exist or have occurred, use its best efforts to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Registrable Securities, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

                (xiv)       Provide CUSIP numbers for all Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement and provide the transfer agent with certificates for the Common Units that are in a form eligible for transfer in accordance with applicable requirements.

                (xv)       Cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the NASD and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD.

                (xvi)       Otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and all reporting requirements under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act.

        (c)        The Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from Enterprise MLP of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 4.5(b)(iii)(D) hereof, the Holder will, and will use its best efforts to cause any underwriter(s) in an Underwritten Offering to, forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement until:

                (i)        the Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4.5(b)(xiii) hereof; or

18

                (ii)        the Holder is advised in writing by Enterprise MLP that the use of the prospectus may be resumed.

If so directed by Enterprise MLP, the Holder will deliver to Enterprise MLP (at Enterprise GP’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice of suspension.

        Section 4.6    Stop Transfer Instructions.    Enterprise MLP may give such stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent as it shall deem reasonably necessary to prevent any sale of shares of Common Units under a Shelf Registration Statement at any time when the Holder is not permitted to make such a sale pursuant to this Article IV.

        Section 4.7    No Piggyback or Other Registration Rights.    Other than as set forth in this Article IV, the Holder shall have no registration rights with respect to Common Units beneficially owned by the Holder (including any “piggyback” registration rights). In addition, Enterprise MLP shall not be required to include any Common Units acquired by the Holder for resale under a Shelf Registration Statement other than the Common Units that constitute Registrable Securities under this Agreement.

        Section 4.8    Registration Expenses.    Enterprise GP shall bear all expenses incident to the filing of any Shelf Registration Statement, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses; (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii) all fees and disbursements of counsel for Enterprise MLP; (v) all application and filing fees in connection with listing or quoting, as the case may be, the Common Units on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Units are then listed or quoted; and (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of Enterprise MLP (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance); provided, however, the Holder shall bear the all the cost of (x) any discount or selling commission incurred in connection with the sale of any of such Common Units and (y) any fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holder or any other professional advisors engaged by the Holder.

        Section 4.9    Rule 144.    Enterprise MLP covenants that it will file at times chosen by Enterprise MLP any reports required to be filed by it under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time (or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission). Upon the reasonable request of the Holder, Enterprise MLP will deliver to the Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Enterprise MLP further covenants that, upon the request of the Holder, it will take any further actions reasonably necessary to permit the Holder to transfer the Common Units under Rule 144, including, without limitation, causing any restrictive legends to be removed from any certificates representing Common Units in accordance with the terms of such legends.

19

        Section 4.10    Indemnification.

        (a)        For purposes of this Section 4.10, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

                (i)        “Preliminary Prospectus” means any preliminary prospectus supplement to the base prospectus included in a Shelf Registration Statement, together with such base prospectus, that describes the Common Units and the offering thereof, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and used prior to the filing of the Prospectus.

                (ii)        “Prospectus” means the final prospectus supplement, in the form first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, together with the base prospectus included in a Shelf Registration Statement; and any reference herein to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference to any amendment or supplement to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be, under the Exchange Act.

                (iii)        “Registration Statement” means the various parts of any Shelf Registration Statement, including all exhibits thereto and including (i) the information contained in the form of final prospectus supplement to the base prospectus included in such Shelf Registration Statement, filed with the Commission after the date hereof pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act in accordance with this Article IV and deemed by virtue of Rule 430A under the Securities Act to be part of such Shelf Registration Statement at the time it was declared effective and (ii) the documents incorporated by reference in such final prospectus supplement.

        (b)        Enterprise GP will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Holder may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Holder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that Enterprise GP shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Enterprise MLP by the Holder expressly for use therein. To the extent Enterprise GP cannot perform its obligations under this Section  4.10(b), it will exercise its indemnification rights under the Enterprise Partnership Agreement.

20

        (c)        The Holder will indemnify and hold harmless Enterprise MLP and Enterprise GP against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which either Enterprise MLP, Enterprise GP or both may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Prospectus, Registration Statement or Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Enterprise MLP by the Holder expressly for use therein; and will reimburse Enterprise MLP and Enterprise GP for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Enterprise MLP and Enterprise GP in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

        (d)        Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Sections 4.10(b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

        (e)        If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Sections 4.10 (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Enterprise MLP and Enterprise GP, on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or

21

omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by Enterprise MLP and Enterprise GP, on the one hand, or Holder, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Enterprise MLP, Enterprise GP and the Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 4.10(e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 4.10(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 4.10(e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.10(e), the Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the aggregate consideration received by the Holder from the sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the relevant Shelf Registration Statement exceeds the amount of any damages which the Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

        (f)        The obligations of Enterprise GP under this Section 4.10 shall be in addition to any liability which Enterprise GP may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the Holder under this Section 4.10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Holder may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of Enterprise GP and to each person, if any, who controls Enterprise MLP and Enterprise GP within the meaning of the Securities Act.

22

        Section 4.11    Lockup.    Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if Enterprise MLP at any time shall register Common Units or securities that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into or for Common Units under the Securities Act for sale in an Underwritten Offering, then to the extent requested by the underwriters for such offering, the Holder shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, sell, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Units without the prior written consent of the underwriters, for a period designated by the managing underwriter in writing to the Holder prior to the beginning of such period, which period shall (i) begin not more than three business days prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement pursuant to which such Underwritten Offering shall be made (or within three business days prior to the execution of the applicable underwriting agreement in the case of an offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) and (ii) end not last more than 90 days after the closing of such Underwritten Offering or such shorter lockup period to which Enterprise MLP or any other unitholders of Enterprise MLP holding at least 5% of the Common Units of Enterprise MLP (on a fully diluted basis) are subject. If requested, the Holder will enter into an agreement with the underwriters to the foregoing effect.

EXHIBIT 4.2

PERFORMANCE GUARANTY

        This Performance Guaranty (this “Guaranty”) dated as of September 30, 2004 is made by DFI Delaware Holdings L.P. (formerly Enterprise Products Delaware Holdings L.P.), a Delaware limited partnership (the “Guarantor”) in favor of GulfTerra GP Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (“GulfTerra”). The Guarantor and GulfTerra are sometimes referred to together herein as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”

RECITALS

        A.        This Guaranty is being executed and delivered in connection with that certain Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Subject Agreement”), dated as of September 30, 2004, by and between GulfTerra, Enterprise Products GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Obligor”), and Enterprise Products Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.

        B.        The Guarantor acknowledges that (a) it shall substantially benefit from the Subject Agreement to which the Obligor is a party and (b) this Guaranty is necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business of the Obligor.

        C.        To induce GulfTerra to enter into, and to close the transaction contemplated by the Subject Agreement, GulfTerra desires that the Guarantor guarantees the Obligor’s performance under the Subject Agreement.

        D.        The Guarantor desires to guarantee the Obligor’s performance under the Subject Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

        For and in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the Guarantor does hereby agree as follows:

        1.       Definitions. Any capitalized term used, but not defined, herein shall have the meaning given to such term in the Subject Agreement.

        2.       The Guaranty. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to GulfTerra the full and timely performance and discharge (including the payment of money) by the Obligor of all obligations and liabilities of the Obligor now existing or hereafter arising under Article II of the Subject Agreement (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) and hereby agrees that if the Obligor shall fail (i) to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall be due and payable by the Obligor to GulfTerra or (ii) timely to perform and discharge in full any other Guaranteed Obligation in accordance with the terms of the Subject Agreement, the Guarantor shall be liable to GulfTerra for such Guaranteed Obligation, and, as such, the Guarantor shall forthwith pay to GulfTerra or perform and discharge any such Guaranteed Obligation, as the case may be, as such payment or performance and discharge is required to be made or done by the Obligor pursuant to the terms of the Subject Agreement. The guarantee in the preceding sentence is an absolute, present and continuing guarantee of payment and of performance of obligations and not of collectibility and

is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the Obligor or upon any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. It shall not be necessary for GulfTerra, in order to enforce such payment or performance by the Guarantor, first to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against the Obligor, the Guarantor or any other Person liable with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2 or elsewhere in this Guaranty, GulfTerra acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Guarantor shall have the benefit of and the right to assert any defenses against the claims of GulfTerra which are available to the Obligor and which would have also been available to the Guarantor if the Guarantor had been in the same contractual position as the Obligor under the Subject Agreement, other than defenses arising from an event or circumstance referred to in clause (e) of Section 3 hereof, or, to the extent related to a proceeding described in such clause (e), clause (h) of Section 3 hereof, or related to the financial condition of the Obligor, and (b) with respect to any and all of the guarantees made by the Guarantor in this Guaranty, the Guarantor hereby guarantees, and shall be responsible for, each performance and/or discharge obligation or liability (including the payment of money) of the Obligor now existing or hereafter arising under Article II of the Subject Agreement.

        3.       Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Guarantor to GulfTerra hereunder shall be absolute, continuing and unconditional and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by (except to the extent the Obligor is so released or discharged from the Guaranteed Obligations other than any such release or discharge of the Obligor occurring as a result of an event or circumstance referred to in any of clause (e), clause (g), or clause (h) (as such clause pertains to laws that relate to the proceedings referred to in clause (e) below), any of the following:

        (a)        any amendment to, modification of, or supplement to the Subject Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein or any assignment or transfer of any rights or obligations thereunder;

        (b)        any release, consent or waiver, by operation of law or otherwise, of the performance or observance by the Obligor or any other Person of any express or implied agreement, covenant, term, obligation or condition under the Subject Agreement;

        (c)        any extension of the time for the payment of all or any portion of any sums payable under the Subject Agreement or the extension of time for the performance of any obligations under, arising out of or in connection with the Subject Agreement;

        (d)        any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of GulfTerra or any other Person to enforce, assert or exercise, or any waiver of, any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred on GulfTerra or any other Person by the Subject Agreement, or any action on the part of GulfTerra or such other Person granting indulgence or extension of any kind;
