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 34,720,190 Common Units representing approximately 15.6% 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 34,720,190 Units consisting of (i)
the 34,526,090 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 34,526,090 Common Units beneficially owned by DD LLC,
representing approximately 15.5% 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 34,526,090 Common
Units.
Enterprise ETE holds directly 34,526,090 Common Units. EPO is the sole member of Enterprise
ETE. EPO is owed 99.999% by EPD and 0.001% by OLPGP, which is EPOs 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 34,526,090 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 May
26, 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 below, none of the Reporting Persons
has effected any transactions in Common Units in the past 60 days.
14
(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.
(e) Not applicable.

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.1 Indemnification by the Enterprise Parties. Each of the Enterprise
Parties, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify each Purchaser and its officers, directors,
managers, general partners, employees and agents (collectively, Purchaser Related
Parties) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings
(including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in
connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs,
losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that
may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of,
or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the
Enterprise Parties contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a
11
breach of the representations or warranties is made prior to the expiration of such representations
or warranties; and provided further, that no Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover
special, consequential (including lost profits or diminution in value) or punitive damages.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, consequential damages shall not be deemed to include
diminution in value of the Purchased Units, which is specifically included in damages covered by
Purchaser Related Parties indemnification.
Section 6.2 Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify the Enterprise Parties and their respective officers, directors, managers,
general partners, employees and agents (collectively, Enterprise Related Parties) from,
and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any
investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection
therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse
each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature
whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all
other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to
defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a
result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations,
warranties or covenants of such Purchaser contained herein, provided that such claim for
indemnification relating to a breach of the representations and warranties is made prior to the
expiration of such representations and warranties; and provided further, that no Enterprise Related
Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost profits or diminution in
value) or punitive damages.
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. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall
promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall
cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in
the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. 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 Partys 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
12
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.
