Letters of Credit

At June 30, 2011, EPO had a $50.0 million letter of credit outstanding related to its commodity derivative instruments and a $58.3 million letter of credit outstanding related to its Petal GO Zone Bonds.  These letter of credit facilities do not reduce the amount available for borrowing under EPO's Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility.

Parent-Subsidiary Guarantor Relationships

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. acts as guarantor of the consolidated debt obligations of EPO with the exception of Duncan Energy Partners' debt obligations and the remaining debt obligations of TEPPCO.  If EPO were to default on any of its guaranteed debt, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. would be responsible for full repayment of that obligation.

The borrowings of Duncan Energy Partners are presented as part of our consolidated debt obligations.  However, neither Enterprise Products Partners L.P. nor EPO have any obligation for the payment of interest or repayment of borrowings incurred by Duncan Energy Partners.

Debt Obligations

Apart from that discussed below and routine fluctuations in the balance of our consolidated revolving credit facilities, there have been no significant changes in the terms or amounts of our consolidated debt obligations since those reported in our 2010 Form 10-K.

At June 30, 2011, EPO's Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility had no borrowings outstanding.  Available borrowing capacity under this revolving credit facility is $1.75 billion.

Issuance of Senior Notes AA and BB. In January 2011, EPO issued $750.0 million in principal amount of 5-year unsecured Senior Notes AA and $750.0 million in principal amount of 30-year unsecured Senior Notes BB.  Senior Notes AA were issued at 99.901% of their principal amount, have a fixed interest rate of 3.20%, and mature on February 1, 2016.  Senior Notes BB were issued at 99.317% of their principal amount, have a fixed interest rate of 5.95%, and mature on February 1, 2041.  Net proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes AA and BB were used (i) to repay $450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes B that matured in February 2011, (ii) to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under EPO's Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility and (iii) for general company purposes.

Senior Notes AA and BB rank equal with EPO's existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.  They are senior to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness of EPO.  Senior Notes AA and BB are subject to make-whole redemption rights and were issued under indentures containing certain covenants, which generally restrict EPO's ability, with certain exceptions, to incur debt secured by liens and engage in sale and leaseback transactions.

Cancellation of Canadian Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2010, there were no debt obligations outstanding under this $30 million revolving credit facility.  This facility was cancelled in January 2011.

Covenants

After giving effect to the limited waivers described below, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of our consolidated debt agreements at June 30, 2011.

Duncan Energy Partners' revolving credit and term loan agreements include various operating and financial covenants, including provisions for maintaining a leverage ratio (i.e., a debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA ratio (as such terms are defined in the underlying lending agreements)) of less than 5.00x as of the last day of any fiscal quarter.   Principally as a result of increased capital spending on the Haynesville Extension project and working capital needs, Duncan Energy Partners leverage ratio at June 30, 2011 was determined to be 5.04x, which (but for the waivers described below) would have exceeded the maximum leverage ratio allowed under its lending agreements.   Duncan Energy Partners expects that its leverage ratio as of September 30, 2011 will also exceed 5.00x.  However, after the Haynesville Extension enters full commercial operations (expected in the fourth quarter of 2011), Duncan Energy Partners anticipates that the ratio will be less than 5.00x as of December 31, 2011.

As a result of the foregoing, Duncan Energy Partners and its lenders entered into limited waiver agreements on June 30, 2011 with respect to the quarterly leverage ratio covenant.  The leverage ratio covenant is waived for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011.  The limited waiver agreements will provide Duncan Energy Partners additional financial flexibility in light of its capital spending requirements for the Haynesville Extension natural gas pipeline project.

Debt Obligations of Unconsolidated Affiliates

At June 30, 2011, we had two privately held unconsolidated affiliates – Poseidon and Centennial – with long-term debt obligations.  The following table shows (i) our ownership interest in each entity at June 30, 2011, (ii) the total debt of each entity at June 30, 2011 (on a 100% basis to the unconsolidated affiliate) and (iii) the corresponding scheduled maturities of such debt.

The credit agreements of Poseidon and Centennial include customary financial and other covenants.  These businesses were in compliance with such financial covenants at June 30, 2011.  The credit agreements of these unconsolidated affiliates restrict their ability to pay cash dividends or distributions if a default or an event of default (as defined in each credit agreement) has occurred and is continuing at the time such dividend or distribution is scheduled to be paid.

In March 2011, Evangeline made the final scheduled payment of $3.2 million on its subordinated note payable.  Following this payment, Evangeline no longer has any debt obligations.

We refinanced the Poseidon revolving credit facility in April 2011.  The new replacement facility matures in April 2015 and has a borrowing capacity of $125 million.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Energy Transfer Equity had approximately $11.1 billion and $9.4 billion, respectively, of consolidated debt obligations outstanding.  Since we own only limited partner interests in Energy Transfer Equity, we are not liable for its standalone or consolidated indebtedness.
