Explanation of Responses:
1. Following the death of Dan L. Duncan on March 29, 2010, beneficial ownership was acquired by the reporting person due to the reporting person becoming a voting trustee pursuant to the Dan Duncan LLC Voting Trust Agreement and the EPCO, Inc. Voting Trust Agreement, the voting trustees' control of Dan Duncan LLC ("Duncan LLC") and Enterprise Products Company (formerly named EPCO, Inc., "EPCO"), and the reporting person's pecuniary interest in the estate of Dan L. Duncan (the "Estate"). The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Units other than to the extent of her pecuniary interest.
2. These Common Units are owned directly by Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. ("EPE"). EPE Holdings, LLC ("EPE Holdings") is the general partner of EPE. Duncan LLC owns 100% of the membership interests of EPE Holdings. The voting trustees under the Dan Duncan LLC Voting Trust Agreement collectively are the sole member of record of Duncan LLC. The Estate is the beneficial owner of the member interests in Duncan LLC, as well as a beneficial owner of 50.427% of the voting stock of EPCO held of record collectively by the voting trustees under the EPCO, Inc. Voting Trust Agreement. Ms. Williams has an interest in the Estate. No executor has been appointed to the Estate as of the date of this report.
