Apart from those items discussed below and routine fluctuations in the balance of our revolving credit facility, there have been no significant changes in the terms or amounts of our consolidated debt obligations since those reported in our 2011 Form 10-K.

Parent-Subsidiary Guarantor Relationships

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. acts as guarantor of the consolidated debt obligations of EPO with the exception of 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 and unconditional repayment of that obligation.

Issuance of Senior Notes in February and August 2012

In February 2012, EPO issued $750.0 million in principal amount of 30-year unsecured Senior Notes EE at 99.542% of their principal amount.  Senior Notes EE have a fixed interest rate of 4.85% and mature on August 15, 2042.  Net proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes EE were used to repay amounts due upon the maturity of $490.5 million principal amount of EPO Senior Notes S due February 2012 and $9.5 million principal amount of TEPPCO Senior Notes due February 2012 and for general company purposes.

In August 2012, EPO issued $650.0 million in principal amount of 3-year unsecured Senior Notes FF at 99.941% of their principal amount and $1.1 billion in principal amount of 30-year unsecured Senior Notes GG at 99.470% of their principal amount.  Senior Notes FF have a fixed interest rate of 1.25% and mature on August 13, 2015, and Senior Notes GG have a fixed interest rate of 4.45% and mature on February 15, 2043.  Net proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes FF and GG were used to temporarily reduce borrowings under EPO's $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility and for general company purposes.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. has unconditionally guaranteed Senior Notes EE, FF and GG on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis.  These senior notes rank equal with EPO's existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and are senior to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness of EPO.  These senior notes 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.

Commercial Paper Program

In August 2012, EPO established a commercial paper program under which it may issue (and have outstanding at any time) up to $2.0 billion in the aggregate of short-term commercial paper notes.  As of September 30, 2012, no notes had been issued under this program.  We intend to maintain a minimum available borrowing capacity under EPO's existing $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility equal to any amount outstanding under commercial paper notes as a back-stop to the program.  To the extent such commercial paper notes are issued in the future, they will be senior unsecured obligations of EPO that are unconditionally guaranteed by Enterprise Products Partners L.P.   Proceeds generated from the issuance of these notes are expected to be used for general company purposes.

Letters of Credit

At September 30, 2012, EPO had $37.5 million in letters of credit outstanding related to its commodity derivative instruments.  These letters of credit do not reduce the amount available for borrowing under EPO's $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility.

Lender Financial Covenants

We were in compliance with the financial covenants of our consolidated debt agreements at September 30, 2012.
