[REVERSE OF SECURITY]
ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS OPERATING LLC
3.20% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2016
     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (the “Debt Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company, the Parent Guarantor and the Holders of the Debt Securities. The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Security is one of a series designated as the 3.20% Senior Notes due 2016 of the Company, in initial aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000 (the “Securities”).
1. Interest.
     The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate of 3.20% per annum.
     The Company will pay interest semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing August 1, 2011. Interest on the Securities will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on the Securities, from and including January 13, 2011. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy laws) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) and on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the same rate per annum, in each case to the extent lawful.
2. Method of Payment.
     The Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except Defaulted Interest) to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for (“Defaulted Interest”) may be paid to the persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, or in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may then be listed if such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee, as more fully provided in the Indenture. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. Payments in respect of Securities in definitive form (including principal, premium, if any, and

A-4


 

interest) will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within The City of New York, which initially will be the corporate trust office of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association at 45 Broadway, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10006, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders on the relevant record date at their addresses set forth in the Debt Security Register of Holders or at the option of the Holder, payment of interest on Securities in definitive form will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to any account maintained in the United States, provided such Holder has requested such method of payment and provided timely wire transfer instructions to the paying agent. The Holder must surrender this Security to a paying agent to collect payment of principal.
3. Paying Agent and Registrar.
     Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as paying agent and Registrar. The Company may change any paying agent or Registrar at any time upon notice to the Trustee and the Holders. The Company may act as paying agent.
4. Indenture.
     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Debt Securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more series under the Indenture.
     Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Original Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA, as in effect on the date of the Original Indenture, and those terms stated in the Twentieth Supplemental Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Securities are referred to the Original Indenture, the Twentieth Supplemental Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The Securities of this series are general unsecured obligations of the Company limited to an initial aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000; provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of such series may be increased from time to time as provided in the Twentieth Supplemental Indenture.
5. Optional Redemption.
     The Securities are redeemable, at the option of the Company, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price (the “Make-Whole Price”) equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (at the rate in effect on the date of calculation of the redemption price) on the Securities to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Yield plus 20 basis points; plus, in either case, accrued interest to the Redemption Date.
     The actual Make-Whole Price, calculated as provided above, shall be calculated and certified to the Trustee and the Company by the Independent Investment Banker. For purposes of determining the Make-Whole Price, the following definitions are applicable:

A-5


 

     “Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any Redemption Date applicable to the Securities, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding such Redemption Date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date.

The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Security is one of a series designated as the 5.95% Senior Notes due 2041 of the Company, in initial aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000 (the “Securities”).

     The Company will pay interest semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing August 1, 2011. Interest on the Securities will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on the Securities, from and including January 13, 2011. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy laws) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) and on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the same rate per annum, in each case to the extent lawful.
2. Method of Payment.
     The Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except Defaulted Interest) to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for (“Defaulted Interest”) may be paid to the persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, or in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may then be listed if such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee, as more fully provided in the Indenture. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. Payments in respect of Securities in definitive form (including principal, premium, if any, and

B-4


 

interest) will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within The City of New York, which initially will be the corporate trust office of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association at 45 Broadway, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10006, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders on the relevant record date at their addresses set forth in the Debt Security Register of Holders or at the option of the Holder, payment of interest on Securities in definitive form will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to any account maintained in the United States, provided such Holder has requested such method of payment and provided timely wire transfer instructions to the paying agent. The Holder must surrender this Security to a paying agent to collect payment of principal.
3. Paying Agent and Registrar.
     Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as paying agent and Registrar. The Company may change any paying agent or Registrar at any time upon notice to the Trustee and the Holders. The Company may act as paying agent.

The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Securities are referred to the Original Indenture, the Twentieth Supplemental Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The Securities of this series are general unsecured obligations of the Company limited to an initial aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000; provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of such series may be increased from time to time as provided in the Twentieth Supplemental Indenture.
5. Optional Redemption.
     The Securities are redeemable, at the option of the Company, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price (the “Make-Whole Price”) equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (at the rate in effect on the date of calculation of the redemption price) on the Securities to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Yield plus 25 basis points; plus, in either case, accrued interest to the Redemption Date.
