Enterprise Products Operating LLC, a Texas limited liability
company (the “Issuer”), Enterprise Products Partners
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Parent
Guarantor”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a
national banking association, as trustee (the
“Trustee”). Each capitalized term used but not defined
in this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture shall have the meaning
assigned to such term in the Original Indenture (as defined
below).
WHEREAS,
Enterprise Products Operating L.P. and the Parent Guarantor have
executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture, dated as of
October 4, 2004 (the “Original Indenture”),
providing for the issuance by Enterprise Products Operating L.P.
from time to time of its debentures, notes, bonds or other
evidences of indebtedness, issued and to be issued in one or more
series unlimited as to principal amount (the “Debt
Securities”), and the guarantee by each Guarantor of the Debt
Securities (the “Guarantee”);
WHEREAS, the
Issuer and the Parent Guarantor have executed and delivered to the
Trustee a Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 30,
2007, providing for the Issuer as the successor issuer (the
Original Indenture together with the Tenth Supplemental Indenture,
the “Base Indenture”);
WHEREAS, on or
before the date hereof the Issuer has issued several series of Debt
Securities pursuant to previous supplements to the Base
Indenture;
WHEREAS, the
Issuer has duly authorized and desires to cause to be issued
pursuant to the Base Indenture and this Fourteenth Supplemental
Indenture a new series of Debt Securities designated the
“9.75% Senior Notes due 2014” (the
“Notes”), all of such Notes to be guaranteed by the
Parent Guarantor as provided in Article XIV of the Original
Indenture;
WHEREAS, the
Issuer desires to cause the issuance of the Notes pursuant to
Sections 2.01 and 2.03 of the Original Indenture, which
sections permit the execution of indentures supplemental thereto to
establish the form and terms of Debt Securities of any
series;
WHEREAS, pursuant
to Section 9.01 of the Original Indenture, the Issuer and the
Parent Guarantor have requested that the Trustee join in the
execution of this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture to establish
the form and terms of the Notes;
WHEREAS, all
things necessary have been done to make the Notes, when executed by
the Issuer and authenticated and delivered hereunder and under the
Base Indenture and duly issued by the Issuer, and the Guarantee of
the Parent Guarantor, when the Notes are duly issued by the Issuer,
the valid obligations of the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor,
respectively, and to make this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture a
valid agreement of the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor enforceable
in accordance with its terms.
NOW, THEREFORE,
the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee hereby agree that
the following provisions shall supplement the Base
Indenture:
The Notes and the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this
Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, which is hereby incorporated
into this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture. The terms and
provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby
expressly made, a part of this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture
and to the extent applicable, the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and
the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Fourteenth
Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and
provisions and to be bound thereby.
The Notes shall be
issued only as Registered Securities. The Notes shall be issued
upon original issuance in whole in the form of one or more Global
Securities (the “Book-Entry Notes”). Each Book-Entry
Note shall represent such of the Outstanding Notes as shall be
specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the
aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed
thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes
represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased,
as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any
endorsement of a Book-Entry Note to reflect the amount, or any
increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Notes
represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with
written instructions or such other written form of instructions as
is customary for the Depositary, from the Depositary or its nominee
on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in the
Book-Entry Note.
The Issuer
initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
to act as Depositary with respect to the Book-Entry
Notes.
SECTION 1.2
Title, Amount and Payment of Principal and Interest
.
The Notes shall be
entitled the “9.75% Senior Notes due 2014.” The Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver (i) the Notes for original
issue on the date hereof (the “Original Notes”) in the
aggregate principal amount of $500 million and
(ii) additional Notes for original issue from time to time
after the date hereof in such principal amounts as may be specified
in the Company Order described in this sentence, provided that no
such additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause
such Notes to have “original issue discount” within the
meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in each
case upon a Company Order for the authentication and delivery
thereof and satisfaction of the other provisions of
Section 2.05 of the Original Indenture. Such order shall
specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on
which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, and the
name or names of the initial Holder or Holders. The aggregate
principal amount of Notes that may be outstanding at any time may
not exceed $500 million plus such additional principal amounts
as may be issued and authenticated pursuant to clause (ii) of
this paragraph (except as provided in Section 2.09 of the Original
Indenture).
The principal
amount of each Note shall be payable on January 31, 2014. Each
Note shall bear interest from the date of original issuance, or the
most recent date to which interest has
2
been paid, at
the fixed rate of 9.75% per annum. The dates on which interest on
the Notes shall be payable shall be January 31 and
July 31 of each year, commencing January 31, 2009 in the
case of the Original Notes (the “Interest Payment
Dates”). The regular record date for interest payable on the
Notes on any Interest Payment Date shall be January 15 or
July 15 (the “Regular Record Date”), as the case
may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.
Payments of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes
representing Book-Entry Notes on any Interest Payment Date or at
maturity will be made available to the Trustee by 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on such date, unless such date falls on a day
which is not a Business Day, in which case such payments will be

time, on the next Business Day. As soon as possible thereafter, the
Trustee will make such payments to the Depositary.

Transaction that is not excepted by clauses (a) through (d),
inclusive, of this Section, provided that the Attributable
Indebtedness from such Sale/Leaseback Transaction, together with
the aggregate principal amount of all other such Attributable
Indebtedness deemed to be outstanding and all outstanding
Indebtedness (other

Principal Properties or upon any capital stock of any Restricted
Subsidiary, do not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible
Assets.”

other than a Permitted Lien, upon any Principal Property or upon
any capital stock of any Restricted Subsidiary to secure
Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor, the Company or any other
Person (other than the Debt Securities), without in any such case
making effective provision whereby all the Debt Securities
Outstanding under this Indenture are secured equally and ratably

is secured; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all
Indebtedness then outstanding secured by such lien and all similar
liens, together with the aggregate amount of Attributable
Indebtedness deemed to be outstanding in respect of all
Sale/Leaseback Transactions (exclusive of any such Sale/Leaseback

Net Tangible Assets.”
