Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer.
     Item 5 of each of the Original Schedule 13D, Duncan Trustee 13D, the Estate 13D and the Enterprise Products 13D is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
     (a) and (b) As set forth herein, Randa Duncan Williams may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the 34,020,190 Common Units representing approximately 15.3% of the outstanding Common Units, including Common Units deemed beneficially owned through her indirect influence as one of three voting trustees controlling DD LLC or as one of three independent co-executors of the Estate. Ms. Williams has shared voting and dispositive power over the 34,020,190 Units consisting of (i) the 33,826,090 Common Units beneficially owned by DD LLC, by virtue of her status as one of the DD LLC Trustees and (ii) the 194,100 Common Units beneficially owned by the Estate, by virtue of her status as one of the independent co-executors of the Estate. Ms. Williams disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Units beneficially owned by the DD LLC Trustees and the Estate except to the extent of her voting and dispositive interests in such Common Units.
     As set forth herein, pursuant to the DD LLC Trust Agreement, the DD LLC Trustees have shared voting and dispositive power over the 33,826,090 Common Units beneficially owned by DD LLC, representing approximately 15.2% of the outstanding Common Units. Except as set forth in the DD LLC Trust Agreement, voting with respect to membership interests of DD LLC by the DD LLC Trustees is by majority vote.
     As set forth herein, the Estate and the Executors collectively have beneficial ownership over 194,100 Common Units beneficially owned by the Estate, representing less than 1% of the outstanding Common Units. The Common Units beneficially owned and voting and dispositive power related to these Common Units consists of (i) sole voting and dispositive power over the 14,000 Common Units owned directly by the Estate and (ii) shared voting and dispositive power over the 180,100 Common Units owned directly by DD Securities LLC, of which the Estate is the sole member.
     The Estate is also the beneficial owner of 50.427% of the voting stock of EPCO held of record collectively by the voting trustees (the “EPCO Trustees”) of the EPCO, Inc. Voting Trust (the “EPCO Voting Trust”) pursuant to the EPCO, Inc. Voting Trust Agreement, by and among EPCO, Inc., Dan L. Duncan as the shareholder and Dan L. Duncan as the initial voting trustee (the “EPCO Trust Agreement”). The EPCO Trustees are voting trustees that collectively hold record ownership of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, the only class of capital stock with voting rights (the “Class A Common Stock”), in EPCO, on behalf of the Estate as the economic owner succeeding Dan L. Duncan. The voting trustees under the EPCO Trust Agreement consist of up to three voting trustees. The current EPCO Trustees are: (1) Ms. Williams; (2) Dr. Cunningham; and (3) Mr. Bachmann. The EPCO Trustees collectively obtained record ownership of the Class A Common Stock of EPCO on March 29, 2010 as a result of the passing of Dan L. Duncan. The EPCO Trustees serve in such capacity without compensation, but they are entitled to incur reasonable charges and expense deemed necessary and proper for administering the EPCO Trust Agreement and to reimbursement and indemnification. The EPCO Trust Agreement is governed by Texas law. EPCO Holdings, Inc. (“EPCO Holdings”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of EPCO. Duncan Family Interests, Inc. (“DFI”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of EPCO Holdings. DFI owns 30.9% of the limited partner interests in EPD. EPD currently beneficially owns 33,826,090 Common Units.
     Enterprise ETE holds directly 33,826,090 Common Units. EPO is the sole member of Enterprise ETE. EPO is owed 99.999% by EPD and 0.001% by OLPGP, which is EPO’s sole manager. EPD owns all of the equity interests in OLPGP. EPD GP is the general partner of EPD. DD LLC owns 100% of the membership interests in, and is the sole member of EPD GP. DD LLC also owns 100% of the membership interests in, and is a 4% limited partner of DFI GP Holdings. The Estate is the economic owner of the member interests in DD LLC. Enterprise ETE currently owns 33,826,090 Common Units. Enterprise ETE has no independent operations, and its current principal functions are to directly hold equity interests in the Issuer.

     The aforementioned ownership amounts of Common Units by the Reporting Persons are as of July 11, 2011, our most recent practicable date for this filing on Schedule 13D. The percentage ownership amounts are based on the 222,972,708 Common Units reported by the Issuer as outstanding as of May 2, 2011.
     (c) Except as otherwise set forth herein or as otherwise reported by the Reporting Persons on Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in Common Units in the past 60 days.
     (d) No person other than as set forth in the response to this Item 5 has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of distributions or dividends from, or the proceeds from the transfer of, the Common Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
