Amendment No. 4 to Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Enterprise
On October 26, 2009, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (Enterprise) entered into Amendment
No. 4 (the Fourth Amendment) to the Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
of Enterprise dated as of November 6, 2008. The Fourth Amendment authorizes a series of Class B
units of Enterprise issued in connection with the MLP Merger (as defined below). The Class B units
will not be entitled to regular quarterly cash distributions for the first sixteen quarters
following the closing of the MLP Merger. The Class B units will convert automatically into the
same number of Enterprise common units on the date immediately following the payment date of the
sixteenth quarterly distribution following October 26, 2009 (the closing of the merger) and holders
of such converted units will thereafter be entitled to receive distributions of available cash.
Prior to the payment date of the sixteenth quarterly distribution following October 26, 2009,
the Class B units will be entitled to vote with the Enterprise common unitholders as a single class
on all matters that Enterprise common unitholders are entitled to vote on. Holders of the Class B
units will be entitled to vote as a separate class on any matter that adversely affects the rights
or preference of such class in relation to other classes of partnership interests. The approval of
a majority of the Class B units will be required to approve any matter for which the Class B
unitholders are entitled to vote as a separate class.
A copy of the Fourth Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated
herein by reference.

The foregoing description of the Enterprise Senior Supplemental Indenture does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Enterprise Senior
Supplemental Indenture. A copy of the Enterprise Senior Supplemental Indenture is attached as
Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Enterprise Subordinated Supplemental Indenture
In connection with Enterprises acquisition of TEPPCO, on October 27, 2009, EPO consummated
the settlement of the Exchange Offers by also issuing one new series of Enterprise junior
subordinated notes (the Enterprise Subordinated Notes) under the Original Indenture, as
supplemented by the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 27, 2009 (the Enterprise
Subordinated Supplemental Indenture and, together with the Enterprise Original Indenture, the
Enterprise Subordinated Indenture) among EPO, as issuer, Enterprise, as parent guarantor and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The terms of the Enterprise Subordinated Notes
include those expressly set forth in the Enterprise Subordinated Indenture and those made part of
the Enterprise Subordinated Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.
As of the expiration deadline for the Exchange Offers of 9:00 a.m.. New York City time, on
October 26, 2009, $285,759,000 in aggregate principal amount of 7.000% Fixed/Floating Rate Junior
Subordinated Notes due 2067 issued by TEPPCO, representing in total approximately 95.25% of the
outstanding junior subordinated notes of TEPPCO, had been validly tendered (and not withdrawn) in
the Exchange Offers. In connection with the consummation of the Exchange Offers, EPO accepted such
tendered notes and issued $285,759,000 in aggregate principal amount of 7.000% Fixed/Floating Rate
Junior Subordinated Notes due 2067.
-4-
General
Under the Enterprise Subordinated Indenture, the Enterprise Subordinated Notes:
|
|
|
are general unsecured junior subordinated obligations of EPO; |
|
|
|
|
are issued in denominations of $1,000 in principal amount and integral multiples thereof; |
|
|
|
|
will bear interest from June 1, 2009 (the most recent date to which interest will have
been paid on the TEPPCO Subordinated Notes) to June 1, 2017, at the annual rate of
7.000% of their principal amount, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and
December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2009, and thereafter, at an annual rate
equal to the sum of the Three-Month LIBOR Rate for the related interest period plus a
spread of 277.75 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears on
March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2017; |
|
|
|
|
provide that EPO may elect to defer payment of all or part of the current and accrued
interest otherwise due on the Enterprise Subordinated Notes for multiple periods of up to ten consecutive years; |
|
|
|
|
will mature on June 1, 2067 and are not redeemable by EPO prior to June 1, 2017 without payment of a make-whole redemption price or a special event make-whole redemption price; |
|
|
|
|
are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent set forth in the Enterprise Subordinated Indenture, to all of EPOs existing and future senior indebtedness; and |
|
|
|
|
are guaranteed on an unsecured and junior subordinated basis by Enterprise. |
EPO may, without the consent of the holders of the Enterprise Subordinated Notes, increase the
principal amount of the series and issue additional notes of such series having the same ranking,
interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Enterprise Subordinated Notes except for issue date,
issue price and, if applicable, first interest payment date. The Enterprise Subordinated Notes and
any additional notes of the same series having the same terms as the Enterprise Subordinated Notes
offered hereby subsequently issued under the Enterprise Subordinated Indenture may be treated as a
single class for all purposes under the Enterprise Subordinated Indenture, including, without
limitation, voting waivers and amendments. In addition, the Enterprise Subordinated Indenture does
not limit EPOs incurrence or issuance of other senior, pari passu or subordinated debt, whether
under the Enterprise Subordinated Indenture relating to the Enterprise Subordinated Notes or any
existing or other indenture or agreement that EPO may enter into in the future. As of June 30,
2009, the direct indebtedness of Enterprise that is senior to the Enterprise Subordinated Notes
totaled approximately $7.6 billion, and the direct indebtedness of Enterprise that is pari passu
with the Enterprise Subordinated Notes totaled approximately $1.2 billion.
The Enterprise Subordinated Notes are non-amortizing and do not have the benefit of a sinking
fund. This means that EPO and Enterprise are not required to make any principal payments prior to
maturity or otherwise set aside amounts in respect of the repayment of the Enterprise Subordinated
Notes prior to their maturity.
Interest Rate and Interest Payment Dates
The Enterprise Subordinated Notes will bear interest from June 1, 2009 (the most recent date
to which interest has been paid on the subordinated notes issued by TEPPCO) to but not including
June 1, 2017 (the Fixed Rate Period) at an annual rate of 7.000% of their principal amount,
payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1,
2009, and thereafter (the Floating Rate Period) at an annual rate equal to the Three-Month LIBOR
Rate (as defined below) for the related interest period plus a spread of 277.75 basis points,
payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year,
commencing September 1, 2017.
Interest payments not paid when due will accrue interest at the then applicable rate of
interest on the amount of unpaid interest, to the extent permitted by law, compounded semi-annually
during the Fixed Rate Period and quarterly during the Floating Rate Period. The amount of interest
payable during the Fixed Rate Period will be
-5-
computed based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and the amount of interest
payable during the Floating Rate Period will be computed based on a 360-day year and the number of
days actually elapsed. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full quarterly
period will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month.
The foregoing description of the Enterprise Subordinated Supplemental Indenture does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
Enterprise Subordinated Supplemental Indenture. A copy of the Enterprise Subordinated Supplemental
Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Consents to Amendment of TEPPCO Indentures
In connection with the Exchange Offers, EPO also completed a solicitation of consents (the
Consent Solicitations) to certain proposed amendments, as described in EPOs Prospectus dated
October 7, 2009, to, as applicable:
|
|
|
the Indenture, dated as of February 20, 2002, as amended (the 2002
TEPPCO Indenture) among TEPPCO as issuer, TE Products Pipeline
Company, LLC (TE Products), TCTM L.P. (TCTM), TEPPCO Midstream
Companies, LLC (TEPPCO Midstream) and Val Verde Gas Gathering
Company, L.P. (Val Verde and together with TE Products, TCTM and
TEPPCO Midstream, the TEPPCO Subsidiary Guarantors) as subsidiary
guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee, which
governs the five series of senior notes issued by TEPPCO described
under the heading Enterprise Senior Supplemental Indenture (the
TEPPCO Senior Notes); and |
|
|
|
|
the Indenture, dated as of May 14, 2007, as amended (the 2007 TEPPCO
Indenture and together with the 2002 TEPPCO Indenture, the TEPPCO
Indentures) among TEPPCO as issuer, the TEPPCO Subsidiary Guarantors
as subsidiary guarantors, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, N.A. as trustee, which governs the one series of subordinated
notes issued by TEPPCO: described under the heading Enterprise
Subordinated Supplemental Indenture (the TEPPCO Subordinated Notes and together with the TEPPCO Senior Notes, the TEPPCO Notes). |
EPO accepted the consents of each eligible holder of TEPPCO Notes who had validly tendered (and not
validly revoked) their consent prior to 9:00 a.m.. New York City time, on October 26, 2009, the
expiration date for the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. The amendments to the TEPPCO
Indentures became operative upon the acceptance of the TEPPCO Notes in the Exchange Offers. The
amendments eliminate various restrictive covenants and certain events of default. The TEPPCO Notes
remaining after the settlement of the Exchange Offers continue to be governed by the TEPPCO
Indentures.
Replacement Capital Covenant
Concurrent with the issuance of the Enterprise Subordinated Notes, EPO and Enterprise entered
into a replacement capital covenant dated October 27, 2009 (the Replacement Capital Covenant)
whereby EPO and Enterprise agreed for the benefit of persons that buy, hold or sell a specified
series of EPOs long-term indebtedness that ranks senior to the Enterprise Subordinated Notes
designated from time to time by EPO in accordance with the terms of the Replacement Capital
Covenant (Covered Debt), that EPO and Enterprise will not redeem or repurchase and will cause
subsidiaries of each not to purchase or otherwise satisfy, discharge or defease any of the
Enterprise Subordinated Notes on or before the termination of the Replacement Capital Covenant on
January 15, 2038 (subject to extension), unless EPO, Enterprise or one of the subsidiaries of each
has received a specified amount of proceeds from the sale during the 180 days prior to the date of
such redemption, repurchase, defeasance or purchase of qualifying securities that have equity-like
characteristics that are the same as, or more equity-like than, the applicable characteristics of
the Enterprise Subordinated Notes at such time. The initial Covered Debt benefiting from the
Replacement Capital Covenant is EPOs 6.875% Series B Senior Notes due March 1, 2033. The
Replacement Covenant includes provisions requiring EPO to redesignate a new series of indebtedness
if the covered series of indebtedness approaches maturity or is to be redeemed or purchased such
that the outstanding principal amount is less than $100,000,000, unless no eligible series of
covered indebtedness exists. The covenants in the Replacement Capital Covenant will run only to
the benefit of holders of the designated series of EPOs or
-6-
Enterprises long-term indebtedness, as applicable; these covenants are not intended for the
benefit of holders of the Enterprise Subordinated notes and cannot be enforced by them. The
Replacement Capital Covenant is not a term of the Enterprise Subordinated Indenture, the Enterprise
Subordinated Notes or the guarantee of the Enterprise Subordinated Notes.
The foregoing description of the Replacement Capital Covenant does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Replacement Capital Covenant,
which is attached as Exhibit 4.9 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

4,520,431 Enterprise Class B Units (the Class B Units). The Class B Units are not entitled to
regular quarterly cash distributions of Enterprise for sixteen quarters following the closing of
the MLP Merger. The Class B Units will convert automatically into Enterprise common units on the
