     (a) and (b) As set forth herein, Randa Duncan Williams may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the 30,606,054 Common Units representing approximately 13.7% 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.

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 30,411,954 Common Units.

Enterprise ETE currently owns 30,411,954 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 25, 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.

          Section 6.3 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after any Enterprise Related Party or Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith.

Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its

intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (B) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.

     2. As of the date hereof immediately prior to the sale of ETE Common Units pursuant to this Agreement, Enterprise ETE is the holder of record of the Purchased Units.

     3. Upon the payment for the Purchased Units to be sold by Enterprise ETE in accordance with this Agreement and the credit of the Purchased Units to the securities account of a “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of Section 8.102(a)(14) of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) maintained with The Depository Trust Company for credit for the Purchaser’s account, assuming neither the Purchaser nor such securities intermediary has any “notice of an adverse claim” (within the meaning of Section 8.105 of the UCC) to such Purchased Units and the Purchaser is identified in the records of such securities intermediary as the person having a security entitlement against such securities intermediary with respect to the Purchased Units, the Purchaser will have a “security entitlement” (as defined in Section 8.102(a)(17) of the UCC) with respect to the Purchased Units purchased by the Purchaser, and no action based on an adverse claim to such Purchased Units credited to such securities account, whether framed in conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien, or other theory, may be asserted against the Purchaser.

     4. This Agreement has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by each of the Enterprise Parties.

     5. None of (i) the offering and sale by the Enterprise Parties of the Purchased Units, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Transaction Documents by the Enterprise Parties, or (iii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (A) conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes or will constitute a violation of the certificate of limited partnership or agreement of limited partnership, certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement, certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents of any of the Enterprise Parties, (B) conflicts with or will conflict with or constitutes or will constitute a breach or violation of, or a default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, the Rights Agreement, (C) conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes or will constitute a breach or violation of, or a default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default) under, (1) any agreement filed as an exhibit to the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 or any subsequent report filed by the Partnership under the Exchange Act and (2) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which Enterprise ETE is a party or by which it or its properties or assets may be bound, or (D) violates or will violate any statute, law or regulation or any order, judgment, decree or injunction of any court, arbitrator or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over any of the Enterprise Parties or any of their respective properties or assets, which conflicts, breaches, violations, defaults or liens, in the case of clause (C), would, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the ability of any of the Enterprise Parties to perform their obligations under the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that for purposes of this paragraph, such counsel expresses no opinion with respect to federal or state securities laws or other antifraud laws.
