- 7 -

3.03    Restrictions on the Disposition of an Interest. (a) No Class B Limited Partner may Dispose of all or part of its interest in the Partnership without the prior written consent (which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion) of the General Partner, and then only after Sections 3.03(c), (d) and (e) have been complied with, except that a Class B Limited Partner may Dispose of all of its interest upon the death of such Class B Limited Partner or upon becoming a Bankrupt Partner, but in each case only after compliance with Sections 3.03(c), (d) and (e). Neither the General Partner nor the Class A Limited Partner may Dispose of all or a part of its interest in the Partnership to a Person who is not an Affiliate of Duncan without the prior written consent of a Required Interest, and then only after Sections 3.03(c), (d) and (e) have been complied with.

(b)    Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.03(c), (d) and (e), a permitted transferee of all or a part of a Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall be admitted to the Partnership as a General Partner or a Limited Partner (as applicable) with, in the case of Class B Limited Partners, such Sharing Points (no greater than the Sharing Points of the Class B Limited Partners effecting such Disposition immediately prior thereto) as the Partner effecting such Disposition and such permitted transferee may agree.

(c)    The Partnership shall not recognize for any purpose any purported Disposition of an interest in the Partnership or distributions therefrom unless and until the provisions of this Section 3.03 shall have been satisfied and there shall have been delivered to the General Partner a document (i) executed by both the Partner effecting such Disposition and the Person to which such interest or interest in distributions are to be Disposed, (ii) including the written acceptance by any Person to be admitted to the Partnership of all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, such Person’s notice address, and an agreement by such Person to perform and discharge timely all of the obligations and liabilities in respect of the interest being obtained, (iii) setting forth, in the case of the Class B Limited Partners, the Sharing Points of the Class B Limited Partners effecting such Disposition and the Person to which such interest is Disposed after such Disposition (which together shall total the Sharing Points of the Class B Limited Partners effecting such Disposition prior thereto), (iv) containing a representation and warranty that such Disposition complied with all applicable laws and regulations (including securities laws) and a representation and warranty by such Person that the representations and warranties in Section 3.02 are true and correct with respect to such Person. Each such Disposition and, if applicable, admission shall be effective as of the first day of the calendar month immediately succeeding the month in which the General Partner shall receive such notification of Disposition and the other requirements of this Section 3.03 shall have been met unless the General Partner and the Partner affecting such Disposition agree to a different effective date; provided, however, that if there shall be only one General Partner and such Disposition or admission and, as a result of such Disposition such General Partner would cease to be a General Partner, such permitted transferee shall be deemed admitted as a General Partner immediately prior to such cessation.

(d)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the right of any Partner to Dispose of an interest in the Partnership or distributions therefrom or of any Person to be admitted to the Partnership in connection therewith shall not exist or be exercised (i) unless and until the Partnership shall have received a favorable opinion of the Partnership’s legal counsel or of other legal counsel acceptable to the General Partner to the effect that such Disposition or admission is not required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable

- 8 -

securities laws, and such Disposition or admission would not cause the Partnership to become an “investment company” required to register under the Investment Company Act, and (ii) unless such Disposition or admission would not result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or as a publicly traded partnership as defined in Section 7704 of the Code. The General Partner, however, may waive the requirements of Section 3.03(d)(i).

(e)    All costs (including, without limitation, the legal fees incurred in connection with the obtaining of the legal opinions referred to in Section 3.03(d)) incurred by the Partnership in connection with any Disposition or admission of a Person to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be borne and paid by the Partner effecting such Disposition within 10 days after the receipt by such Person of the Partnership’s invoice for the amount due.

(f)    In the event of a Disposition of an interest in the Partnership pursuant to the death of a Limited Partner that would, in the opinion of the Partnership’s legal counsel, result in the Partnership becoming an “investment company” required to register under the Investment Company Act, the General Partner shall have the right to purchase such interest from the estate (or beneficiaries) of such deceased Partner for a price equal to the amount that the deceased Partner’s estate (or beneficiaries) would receive if all of the EPD Units held by the Partnership were sold at a price equal to the closing sale price per EPD Unit as reported by the New York Stock Exchange (or such other applicable trading market) on the day prior to the exercise of such right by the General Partner and the proceeds from such sale were distributed to the Partners in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.04. The determination by the General Partner of the foregoing purchase price of such deceased Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall be conclusive and binding on the deceased Partner’s estate and beneficiaries.

(g)    Any attempted Disposition by a Person of an interest or right, or any part thereof, in or in respect of the Partnership other than in accordance with this Section 3.03 shall be, and is hereby declared, null and void ab initio.

3.04    Additional Partners. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.05 and 3.03, additional Persons may be admitted to the Partnership as General Partners or Limited Partners, only to the extent that, and on such terms and conditions as, the General Partner shall consent at the time of such admission or issuance. Such admission or issuance shall, in the case of a Class B Limited Partners, specify the Sharing Points applicable thereto. Any such admission must comply with the provisions of Section 3.03(d) and shall not be effective until such new Partner shall have executed and delivered to the General Partner a document including such new Partner’s notice address, acceptance of all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, an agreement to perform and discharge timely all of its obligations and liabilities hereunder, and a representation and warranty that the representations and warranties in Section 3.02 are true and correct with respect to such new Partner.

3.05    Interests in a Partner. No Partner that is not a natural person shall cause or permit an interest, direct or indirect, in itself to be Disposed of such that, on account of such Disposition, the Partnership would become an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

- 9 -

3.06    Spouses of Partners. A spouse of a Partner does not become a Partner as a result of such marital relationship or by reason of a divorce, legal separation or other dissolution of marriage. If, in the event of a divorce, legal separation or other dissolution of marriage of a Partner, a former spouse of a Partner is awarded ownership of, or an interest in, all or part of a Partner’s interest in the Partnership (the “Awarded Interest”), the Awarded Interest shall automatically and immediately be forfeited and cancelled without payment on such date.

3.07    Vesting of Limited Partners. One hundred percent (100%) of each Class B Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall vest on the Vesting Date, but only if (i) on such date such Class B Limited Partner continues to be an active, full-time employee of the General Partner or any of its Affiliates or (ii) prior to the Vesting Date a Qualifying Termination has occurred with respect to such Class B Limited Partner. At such time as a Class B Limited Partner ceases, for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination, to be an active, full-time employee of the General Partner or any of its Affiliates prior to the Vesting Date (as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, without regard as to how his status is treated by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates for any of its other compensation or benefit plans or programs), his unvested interest in the Partnership shall be forfeited. The Capital Account attributable to any Class B Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership that is forfeited pursuant to Section 3.06, this Section 3.07 or otherwise hereunder shall be allocated to the remaining Class B Limited Partners in accordance with their respective Class B Percentage Interests.

3.08    Services Provided by the Partners. The interests in the Partnership held by the Partners are for the benefit of certain employees in connection with services rendered or to be rendered by the Partners. EPCO shall be an express third party beneficiary of the services provided by the Partners.

3.09    Investment Company Act Matters. The Partnership is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Investment Company Act. In addition to the rights, powers and authority of the General Partner set forth in Section 3.03, if any event would, in the opinion of the Partnership’s legal counsel, result in the Partnership becoming an “investment company” required to register under the Investment Company Act, then (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) the General Partner shall have the right, power and authority (exercisable in its sole discretion) to take any and all actions (on behalf of itself and/or the Partnership) as the General Partner may deem necessary, appropriate or advisable to avoid such registration requirement and/or to reduce or mitigate the effects thereof, including without limitation taking unilateral action (without the consent of any Limited Partner) to (i) amend this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.05 and/or (ii) cause the Partnership to be dissolved in accordance with Section 11.01.

No Class B Limited Partner is obligated to make a contribution to the Partnership.

- 10 -

to make an additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership, whether for the purpose of enabling the Partnership to meet its obligations under Section 6.03 or for any other purpose.

No Partner shall be required to contribute, advance or lend any cash or property to the Partnership to enable the Partnership to return any Partner’s Capital Contributions to the Partnership. To the extent, however, any Partner (by mistake, overpayment or otherwise) advances funds to the Partnership in excess of the Capital Contributions called for under Section 4.01, such excess amounts shall not be Capital Contributions and (other than advances made by the General Partner pursuant to Section 4.03 below) shall be promptly returned by the Partnership to the Partner so advancing such funds.

4.03    Advances by General Partner. At any time that the Partnership shall not have sufficient cash to pay its obligations, the General Partner may, but shall not be obligated to, advance such funds for or on behalf of the Partnership. Each such advance shall constitute a loan from the General Partner to the Partnership and shall bear interest from the date of the advance until the date of repayment at the General Interest Rate. Any advances made by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be considered to be Capital Contributions. All advances shall be repaid out of the next available funds of the Partnership, including Capital Contributions received.

Each Partner’s Capital Account (a) shall be increased by (i) the amount of money contributed by that Partner to the Partnership, (ii) the fair market value of property, if any, contributed by that Partner to the Partnership (net of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), and (iii) allocations to that Partner of Partnership income and gain (or items thereof), including income and gain exempt from tax and income and gain described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), but excluding income and gain described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i), and (b) shall be decreased by (i) the amount of money distributed to that Partner by the Partnership, (ii) the fair market value of property distributed to that Partner by the Partnership (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Partner is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), (iii) allocations to that Partner of expenditures of the Partnership described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, and (iv) allocations of Partnership loss and deduction (or items thereof), including loss and deduction described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), but excluding items described in clause (b)(iii) above and loss or deduction described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i). The Partners’ Capital Accounts also shall be maintained and adjusted as permitted by the provisions of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and as required by the other provisions of Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and 1.704-1(b)(4), including adjustments to reflect the allocations to the Partners of depreciation, amortization, and gain or loss as computed for book purposes rather than the allocation of the corresponding items as computed for tax purposes, as required by

- 11 -

Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g). A Partner that has more than one interest in the Partnership shall have a single Capital Account that reflects all such interests, regardless of the class of interests owned by such Partner and regardless of the time or manner in which such interests were acquired; provided, that Partners that are Affiliates but nevertheless separate legal entities shall have separate Capital Accounts. Upon the transfer of all or part of an interest in the Partnership, the Capital Account of the transferor that is attributable to the transferred interest in the Partnership shall carry over to the transferee Partner in accordance with the provisions of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(l).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.01, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, each Partner shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6), 1.704-2(g)(2) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provision.

This Section 5.01(b)(i) is intended to comply with the Partnership Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

- 12 -

(ii)    Chargeback of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5.01 (other than Section 5.01(b)(i)), except as provided in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, any Partner with a share of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such taxable period shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or any successor provisions. For purposes of this Section 5.01(b), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 5.01(b), other than Section 5.01(b)(i) and other than an allocation pursuant to Sections 5.01(b)(vi) and 5.01(b)(vii), with respect to such taxable period. This Section 5.01(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the chargeback of items of income and gain requirement in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii)    Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible unless such deficit balance is otherwise eliminated pursuant to Section 5.01(b)(i) or (ii).

(iv)    Gross Income Allocations. In the event any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Partnership taxable period in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Partner is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (B) the amount such Partner is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.01(b)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in this Section 5.01 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.01(b)(iv) were not in this Agreement.

(v)    Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If the General Partner determines that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions should be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is authorized, upon notice to the other Partners, to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio that does satisfy such requirements.

- 13 -

(vi)    Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated 100% to the Partner that bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Partner bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt, such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Partners in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss.

(vii)    Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Partners agree that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the sum of (A) the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain and (B) the total amount of Nonrecourse Built-in Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(viii)    Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.

(c)    Allocations Caused by Transfer of Interest. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit allocable to any interest in the Partnership that may have been transferred shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee based upon that portion of the calendar year during which each was recognized as owning such interest, without regard to the results of Partnership operations during any particular portion of such calendar year and without regard to distributions made to the transferor and the transferee during such calendar year; provided, however, that such allocation shall be made in accordance with a method permissible under Section 706 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

5.02    Income Tax Allocations.

(a)    Except as provided in this Section 5.02, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as such items are allocated for purposes of maintaining Capital Account under Section 5.01.

(b)    For federal and state income tax purposes, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to property contributed to the Partnership by a Partner or revalued pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner that takes into account the variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property and its book value, as required by Section 704(c) of the Code and Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i), using any allocation method permitted by Regulation Section 1.704-3.

(a)    For all tax years beginning before December 31, 2017, the General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. The General Partner shall take such action as may be necessary to cause each other Partner to become a “notice partner” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code. The General Partner shall inform each other Partner of all significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as tax matters partner by giving notice thereof within ten Business Days after becoming aware thereof and, within such time, shall forward to each other Partner copies of all significant written communications it may receive in such capacity.

No Partner shall have any claim against the General Partner for any actions taken (or any failures to take action) in good faith pursuant to this Section 8.03(b).

(c)    To the extent that any tax (including any Partnership Level Tax) is paid by the Partnership and the General Partner, in good faith, determines that such tax relates to one or more specific Partners, the General Partner may either (i) offset such tax against any distributions to which such Partner is otherwise entitled, or (ii) require such Partner to promptly reimburse the Partnership for such tax.

All financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally employed for cash-basis records consistently applied (except as therein noted).

- 20 -

10.01    Withdrawal, Bankruptcy, Etc. of General Partner.

(a)    The General Partner covenants and agrees that it will not withdraw from the Partnership as the general partner within the meaning of Section 17-602 of the Act. If the General Partner shall so withdraw from the Partnership in violation of such covenant and agreement, such withdrawal shall be effective only upon 90 days’ prior notice to all other Partners.

(b)    The General Partner shall not cease to be a general partner on the occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 17-402(a)(4) through (10) of the Act, but shall cease to be a general partner 90 days thereafter. The General Partner shall notify each other Partner that an event of the type described in Section 17-402(a)(4) through (10) of the Act has occurred (without regard to the lapse of any time periods therein) with respect to it within five Business Days after such occurrence.

(c)    Following any notice pursuant to Section 10.01(a) that the General Partner shall be withdrawing, or following the occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 17-402(a)(4) through (10) of the Act with respect to the General Partner (without regard to the lapse of any time periods therein), and unless there shall be one other General Partner remaining, the greater of the Class A Limited Partner plus a Required Interest of the Class B Limited Partners or a majority in interest as defined in Internal Revenue Service Procedure 94-46 (or any successor thereof) by written consent may select a new General Partner, which shall be admitted to the Partnership as a general partner effective immediately prior to the existing General Partner’s ceasing to be a general partner with such general partner interest as the Limited Partners making such selection may specify, but only if such new General Partner shall have made such Capital Contribution as such Limited Partners may specify and shall have executed and delivered to the Partnership a document including such new General Partner’s notice address, acceptance of all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, an agreement to perform and discharge timely all of its obligations and liabilities hereunder, and a representation and warranty that the representation and warranties in Section 3.02 are true and correct with respect to such new General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.01(c), the right to select such new General Partner shall not exist or be exercised unless the Partnership shall have received the favorable opinion of the Partnership’s legal counsel or of other legal counsel acceptable to the Limited Partners making such selection to the effect that such selection and admission will not result in (i) the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner (except to the extent a Limited Partner has consented to become the General Partner) or (ii) in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.01(c), no such

- 21 -

new General Partner shall be admitted (and the existing General Partner shall continue as such) if the event that permitted the selection of a new General Partner shall have been an event of the type described in Section 17-402(a)(5) of the Act that with the passage of time would cause the existing General Partner to become a Bankrupt Partner but, due to the failure of such situation to continue, such General Partner does not become a Bankrupt Partner.

10.02    Conversion of Interest. Immediately upon the General Partner’s ceasing to be General Partner following the admission of a new General Partner pursuant to Section 10.01(c), the former General Partner’s interest in the Partnership as a General Partner shall be converted into the interest of a Limited Partner in the Partnership having the same economic rights as specified for the General Partner herein immediately prior to its ceasing to be a General Partner, and such General Partner shall automatically and without further action be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner.

ARTICLE XI

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, AND TERMINATION

11.01    Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of any of the following:

(a)    the written consent of the General Partner, the Class A Limited Partner and a Required Interest;

(b)    the written consent of the General Partner acting pursuant to Section 3.09;

(c)    unless otherwise agreed to by the General Partner, the Class A Limited Partner and a Required Interest, a date selected by the General Partner (in its sole discretion) that is within 30 days following the occurrence of the Vesting Date;

(d)    the end of the term of the Partnership as set forth in Section 2.06;

(e)    the General Partner’s ceasing to be the General Partner as described in Section 10.01(b) with no new General Partner having been selected and admitted as provided in Section 10.01(c); or

(f)    any other event causing dissolution as described in Section 17-801 of the Act (other than an event described in Section 17-402(a)(4) through (10) of the Act, except as provided in Sections 10.01(b) and 11.01(d));

it being understood that if an “event of withdrawal of a general partner” (as defined in Section 17-101(3) of the Act) shall occur with respect to the General Partner and at least one other General Partner shall have been or is about to be admitted pursuant to Section 3.03(b), 10.01(c), or 10.02, the Partnership shall not dissolve but shall continue and the remaining General Partner shall, and hereby agrees to, carry on the business of the Partnership.

11.02    Liquidation and Termination. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, unless it is continued as provided in Section 11.01, the General Partner shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more other Persons as liquidator; provided, however, that if the Partnership shall be

- 22 -

dissolved on account of an event of the type described in Section 17-402(a)(4) through (10) of Act with respect to the General Partner, the liquidator shall be one or more Persons selected in writing by the Class A Limited Partner and a Required Interest. The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and make final distributions as provided herein, and shall file any amendments to the Certificate as may be required by applicable law. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Partnership expense. Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to manage the Partnership assets with all of the power and authority of the General Partner. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

(a)    as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Partnership’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution shall have occurred or the final liquidation shall be completed, as applicable;

(b)    the liquidator shall pay all of the debts and liabilities of the Partnership (including, without limitation, all expenses incurred in liquidation and any advances made by the General Partner pursuant to Section 4.03) or otherwise make adequate provision therefor (including, without limitation, the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine); and

(c)    all remaining assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners as follows:

(i)    the fair market value of the property shall be determined and the capital accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss, and deduction inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the capital accounts previously) would be allocated among the Partners if there were a taxable disposition of such property for the fair market value of such property on the Vesting Date; and

(ii)    the Partnership property shall be distributed among the Partners in accordance with the positive capital account balances of the Partners, as determined after taking into account all capital account adjustments for the taxable year of the Partnership during which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs (other than those made by reason of this clause); and such distributions shall be made by the end of the taxable year of the Partnership during which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation). While the General Partner has the right to sell EPD Units as noted in Section 5.04, and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 5.05, it is the intent of the General Partner upon liquidation and termination of the Partnership to distribute EPD Units to the Partners rather than sell the EPD Units and distribute the cash proceeds of such sale to the Partners.

For purposes of this Section 11.02(c), the “fair market value” of each EPD Unit held by the Partnership on the Vesting Date shall be equal to the average of the closing sale prices per EPD Unit for the 20 trading days ending on the Vesting Date (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and asked prices) as reported in the composite transactions for the principal United States securities exchange on which the EPD Units are traded or if the EPD Units are not

12.12    Dispute Resolution. (a) If the General Partner and one or more Limited Partners are unable to resolve any controversy, dispute, claim or other matter in question arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, any provision hereof, the alleged breach hereof, or in any way relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, or the relationship between the parties created by this Agreement, including questions concerning the scope and applicability of this Section 12.12, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, at law or in equity, under state or federal law, whether provided by statute or common law, for damages or any other relief (any such controversy, dispute, claim or other matter in question, a “Dispute”), on or before the 30th day following the receipt by the General Partner or such Limited Partners of written notice of such Dispute from the other party, which notice describes in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute and the facts and circumstances relating thereto, the General Partner or such Limited Partners may, by delivery of written notice to the other party, require that a representative of the General Partner and of such Limited Partners meet at a mutually agreeable time and place in an attempt to resolve such Dispute. Such meeting shall take place on or before the 15th day following the date of the notice requiring such meeting, and if the Dispute has not been resolved within 15 days following such meeting, the General Partner or such Limited Partners may cause such Dispute to be resolved by binding arbitration in Houston, Texas, by submitting such Dispute for arbitration within 30 days following the expiration of such 15-day period. This agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable against the parties.

(b)    It is the intention of the parties that the arbitration shall be governed by and conducted pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, as such Act is modified by this Section 12.12. If it is determined the Federal Arbitration Act is not applicable to this Agreement (e.g., this Agreement does not evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce), this agreement to arbitrate shall nevertheless be enforceable pursuant to applicable State law. While the arbitrators may refer to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”) for guidance with respect to procedural matters, the arbitration proceeding shall not be administered by the American Arbitration Association but instead shall be self-administered by the parties until the arbitrators are selected and then the proceeding shall be administered by the arbitrators.

(c)    The validity, construction, and interpretation of this agreement to arbitrate, and all procedural aspects of the arbitration conducted pursuant to this agreement to arbitrate, including but not limited to, the determination of the issues that are subject to arbitration (i.e., arbitrability), the scope of the arbitrable issues, allegations of “fraud in the inducement” to enter into this Agreement or this arbitration provision, allegations of waiver, laches, delay or other defenses to arbitrability, and the rules governing the conduct of the arbitration (including the time for filing an answer, the time for the filing of counterclaims, the times for amending the pleadings, the specificity of the pleadings, the extent and scope of discovery, the issuance of subpoenas, the times for the designation of experts, whether the arbitration is to be stayed pending resolution of related litigation involving third parties not bound by this arbitration agreement, the receipt of evidence, and the like), shall be decided by the arbitrators.

- 26 -

(d)    The rules of arbitration of the Federal Arbitration Act, as modified by this Agreement, shall govern procedural aspects of the arbitration; to the extent the Federal Arbitration Act as modified by this Agreement does not address a procedural issue, the arbitrators may refer for guidance to the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect with the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrators may refer for guidance to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Federal Rules of Civil Evidence, and the federal law with respect to the discovery process, applicable legal privileges, and admissible evidence. In deciding the substance of the parties’ Dispute, the arbitrators shall refer to the substantive laws of the State of Delaware for guidance (excluding Delaware’s conflict-of-law rules or principles that might call for the application of the law of another jurisdiction); provided, however, IT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS SECTION 12.12 TO THE CONTRARY, THE ARBITRATORS SHALL HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO AUTHORITY TO AWARD CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (SUCH AS LOSS OF PROFIT), TREBLE, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES MAY BE AVAILABLE UNDER DELAWARE LAW, THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE, OR FEDERAL LAW, OR UNDER THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, OR UNDER THE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION. The arbitrators shall have the authority to assess the costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding (including the arbitrators’ fees and expenses) against either or both parties. However, each party shall bear its own attorneys fees and the arbitrators shall have no authority to award attorneys fees.

(e)    When a Dispute has been submitted for arbitration, within 30 days of such submission, the General Partner will choose an arbitrator, and such Limited Partners will choose an arbitrator. The two arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator, failing agreement on which within 90 days of the original notice, the General Partner and such Limited Partners (or either of them) shall apply to any United States District Judge for the Southern District of Texas, who shall appoint the third arbitrator. While the third arbitrator shall be neutral, the two party-appointed arbitrators are not required to be neutral and it shall not be grounds for removal of either of the two party-appointed arbitrators or for vacating the arbitrators’ award that either of such arbitrators has past or present minimal relationships with the party that appointed such arbitrator. Evident partiality on the part of an arbitrator exists only where the circumstances are such that a reasonable person would have to conclude there in fact existed actual bias and a mere appearance or impression of bias will not constitute evident partiality or otherwise disqualify an arbitrator. Minimal or trivial past or present relationships between the neutral arbitrator and the party selecting such arbitrator or any of the other arbitrators, or the failure to disclose such minimal or trivial past or present relationships, will not by themselves constitute evident partiality or otherwise disqualify any arbitrator. Upon selection of the third arbitrator, each of the three arbitrators shall agree in writing to abide faithfully by the terms of this agreement to arbitrate. The three arbitrators shall make all of their decisions by majority vote. If one of the party-appointed arbitrators refuses to participate in the proceedings or refuses to vote, the decision of the other two arbitrators shall be binding. If an arbitrator dies or becomes physically incapacitated and is unable to fulfill his or her duties as an arbitrator, the arbitration proceeding shall continue with a substitute arbitrator selected as follows: if the incapacitated arbitrator is a party-appointed arbitrator, the party shall promptly select a new arbitrator, and if the incapacitated arbitrator is the neutral arbitrator, the two-party appointed arbitrators shall select a substitute neutral arbitrator, failing agreement on which the General Partner and such Limited Partners (or either of them) shall apply to any United States District Judge for the Southern District of Texas, who shall appoint the substitute neutral arbitrator.

- 27 -

(f)    The final hearing shall be conducted within 120 days of the selection of the third arbitrator. The final hearing shall not exceed ten working days, with each party to be granted one-half of the allocated time to present its case to the arbitrators. There shall be a transcript of the hearing before the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall render their ultimate decision within 20 days of the completion of the final hearing completely resolving all of the Disputes between the parties that are the subject of the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrators’ ultimate decision after final hearing shall be in writing, but shall be as brief as possible, and the arbitrators shall assign their reasons for their ultimate decision. In the case the arbitrators award any monetary damages in favor of either party, the arbitrators shall certify in their award that they have not included any treble, exemplary or punitive damages.

(g)    The arbitrators’ award shall, as between the parties to this Agreement and those in privity with them, be final and entitled to all of the protections and benefits of a final judgment, e.g., res judicata (claim preclusion) and collateral estoppel (issue preclusion), as to all Disputes, including compulsory counterclaims, that were or could have been presented to the arbitrators. The arbitrators’ award shall not be reviewable by or appealable to any court, except to the extent permitted by the Federal Arbitration Act.

(h)    It is the intent of the parties that the arbitration proceeding shall be conducted expeditiously, without initial recourse to the courts and without interlocutory appeals of the arbitrators’ decisions to the courts. However, if a party refuses to honor its obligations under this agreement to arbitrate, the other party may obtain appropriate relief compelling arbitration in any court having jurisdiction over the parties; the order compelling arbitration shall require that the arbitration proceedings take place in Houston, Texas, as specified above. The parties may apply to any court for orders requiring witnesses to obey subpoenas issued by the arbitrators. Moreover, any and all of the arbitrators’ orders and decisions may be enforced if necessary by any court. The arbitrators’ award may be confirmed in, and judgment upon the award entered by, any federal or State court having jurisdiction over the parties.

(i)    To the fullest extent permitted by law, this arbitration proceeding and the arbitrators award shall be maintained in confidence by the parties. However, a violation of this covenant shall not affect the enforceability of this arbitration agreement or of the arbitrators’ award.

(j)    A party’s breach of this Agreement shall not affect this agreement to arbitrate. Moreover, the parties’ obligations under this arbitration provision are enforceable even after this Agreement has terminated. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this arbitration agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the parties’ obligation to submit their Disputes to binding arbitration or the other provisions of this agreement to arbitrate.

12.13    No Effect on Employment Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any employee of the General Partner or any Affiliate thereof any right to continued employment nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the General Partner or any of its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any employee at any time.

- 28 -

12.14    Legal Representation. This Agreement and related documents have been prepared by Vinson & Elkins LLP and Sidley Austin LLP, as counsel for the General Partner, and not as counsel for any other Partner or the Partnership. Each party other than the General Partner has been advised to seek independent counsel in connection with this Agreement and the related documents.
