W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, TE Products, TCTM, TEPPCO Midstream and Jonah Gas Gathering Company, a Wyoming general partnership (“Jonah”), or their predecessors, and the Partnership have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture dated as of February 20, 2002 (the “Original Indenture” and, as amended and supplemented by this Seventh Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance from time to time of one or more series of the Partnership’s Debt Securities, and the Guarantee by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined therein) of the Debt Securities;

     WHEREAS, Sections 2.01 and 2.03 of the Indenture provide that, without the approval of any Holder, the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors may enter into supplemental indentures to establish the form, terms and provisions of a series of Debt Securities issued pursuant to the Indenture;

     WHEREAS, Section 9.01(k) of the Indenture provides that the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may from time to time enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto, without the consent of any Holders, to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of a new series;

     WHEREAS, Section 9.01(b) of the Indenture permits the execution of supplemental indentures without the consent of any Holders to add to the covenants of the Partnership or the Subsidiary Guarantors for the benefit of, and to add any additional Events of Default with respect to, all or any series of Debt Securities;

     WHEREAS, Section 9.01(i) of the Indenture permits the execution of supplemental indentures without the consent of any Holders to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture with respect to all or any series of Debt Securities, provided that, among other things, such addition, change or elimination does not apply to any outstanding Debt Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture;

     WHEREAS, Section 9.01(i) of the Indenture permits the execution of supplemental indentures without the consent of any Holders to add Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to any or all of the Debt Securities;

     WHEREAS, the Partnership desires to issue a series of its Debt Securities under the Indenture, such series to be known as its 7.55% Senior Notes due 2038 (the “2038 Notes”), the

issuance of which series was authorized by or pursuant to resolution of the Board of Directors, and the Subsidiary Guarantors desire to Guarantee the 2038 Notes as provided in Article XIV of the Indenture;

     WHEREAS, the Partnership, pursuant to the foregoing authority, proposes in and by this Seventh Supplemental Indenture to supplement and amend the Original Indenture insofar as it will apply only to the 2038 Notes;

     WHEREAS, each of Val Verde, TE Products and TEPPCO Midstream is executing and delivering this Seventh Supplemental Indenture for the purpose of providing a Guarantee of the 2038 Notes, in accordance with the provisions of the Original Indenture;

     WHEREAS, all things necessary have been done to make the 2038 Notes, when duly issued by the Partnership and when executed on behalf of the Partnership and authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Indenture, the valid obligations of the Partnership, to make the Guarantee of the 2038 Notes the valid obligation of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and to make this Seventh Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors, in accordance with their and its terms;

     NOW, THEREFORE:

     In consideration of the premises provided for herein, the Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the 2038 Notes as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE 2038 NOTES

     SECTION 1.1 Designation of the 2038 Notes; Establishment of Form.

     There shall be a series of Debt Securities designated “7.55% Senior Notes due 2038” of the Partnership (the “2038 Notes”), and the form thereof (including the notation of Guarantee thereof) shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which is incorporated into and shall be deemed a part of this Seventh Supplemental Indenture, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the Partnership may deem appropriate or as may be required or appropriate to comply with any laws or with any rules made pursuant thereto or with the rules of any securities exchange on which the 2038 Notes may be listed, or to conform to general usage, or as may, consistently with the Indenture, be determined by the officers executing such 2038 Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the 2038 Notes.

     The 2038 Notes will initially be issued in permanent global form, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, as a Global Security.

     The Partnership initially appoints the Trustee to act as paying agent and Registrar with respect to the 2038 Notes.

     SECTION 1.2 Amount.

     The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver 2038 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000,000 upon Partnership Order for the authentication and delivery of 2038 Notes. The authorized aggregate principal amount of 2038 Notes may be increased at any time hereafter and the series may be reopened for issuances of additional 2038 Notes, upon Partnership Order without the consent of any Holder. The 2038 Notes issued on the date hereof and any such additional 2038 Notes that may be issued hereafter shall be part of the same series of Debt Securities.

     SECTION 1.3 Redemption.

     (a) There shall be no sinking fund for the retirement of the 2038 Notes or other mandatory redemption obligation.

     (b) The Partnership, at its option, may redeem the 2038 Notes in accordance with the provisions of the 2038 Notes and the Indenture.

     SECTION 1.4 Conversion.

     The 2038 Notes shall not be convertible into any other securities.

     SECTION 1.5 Maturity.

     The Stated Maturity of the 2038 Notes shall be April 15, 2038.

     SECTION 1.6 Place of Payment.

     As long as any 2038 Notes are Outstanding, the Partnership shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where the 2038 Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, an office or agency where the 2038 Notes may be presented for payment, and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Partnership in respect of the 2038 Notes and the Indenture may be served. All of such offices or agencies shall initially be the corporate trust office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which on the date of this Seventh Supplemental Indenture, is located at U.S. Bank National Association, 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, EX-NY-WALL, New York, NY 10005, Attn: David Massa. The Partnership may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the 2038 Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Partnership of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purposes.

     SECTION 1.7 Subsidiary Guarantors.

     The 2038 Notes shall be entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors as provided in Article XIV of the Indenture.

     SECTION 1.8 Other Terms of 2038 Notes.

     Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Article 1, the terms of the 2038 Notes shall be as provided in the form of 2038 Notes set forth in Exhibit A hereto and as provided in the Indenture.

ARTICLE 2

AMENDMENTS TO THE INDENTURE

     The amendments and supplements contained herein shall apply to 2038 Notes only and not to any other series of Debt Securities issued under the Original Indenture and any covenants provided herein are expressly being included solely for the benefit of the 2038 Notes. These amendments and supplements shall be effective for so long as there remain any 2038 Notes outstanding.

     SECTION 2.1 Definitions.

     Section 1.01 of the Original Indenture is amended and supplemented by inserting or restating, as the case may be, in their appropriate alphabetical position, the following definitions:

     “Attributable Indebtedness” means with respect to a Sale-Leaseback Transaction, at the time of determination, the lesser of:

     (a) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the assets involved in the Sale-Leaseback Transaction;

     (b) the present value of the total net amount of rent required to be paid under the lease involved in such Sale-Leaseback Transaction during the remaining term thereof (including any renewal term exercisable at the lessee’s option or period for which such lease has been extended), discounted at the rate of interest set forth or implicit in the terms of such lease or, if not practicable to determine such rate, the weighted average interest rate per annum borne by the 2038 Notes compounded semiannually; and

     (c) if the obligation with respect to the Sale-Leaseback Transaction constitutes an obligation that is required to be classified and accounted for as a Capital Lease Obligation for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP, the amount equal to the capitalized amount of such obligation determined in accordance with GAAP and included in the financial statements of the lessee.

For purposes of the foregoing definition, rent will not include amounts required to be paid by the lessee, whether or not designated as rent or additional rent, on account of or contingent upon maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, utilities, water rates, operating charges, labor costs and similar charges. In the case of any lease that is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall be the lesser of the net amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the net amount shall also include the amount of the penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or the net amount determined assuming no such termination.

     “Capital Lease Obligation” means, at the time any determination thereof is to be made, the amount of the liability in respect of a capital lease that would at such time be required to be capitalized on a balance sheet in accordance with GAAP.

     “Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means, at any date of determination, the aggregate amount of total assets included in the most recent consolidated quarterly or annual balance sheet of the Partnership prepared in accordance with GAAP, less applicable reserves reflected in such balance sheet, after deducting the following amounts:

     (a) all current liabilities reflected in such balance sheet (excluding any current maturities of long-term debt or any current liabilities that by their terms are extendable or renewable at the option of the obligor to a time more than 12 months after the time as of which the amount is being computed); and

     (b) all goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, unamortized debt discount and expense and other like intangibles reflected in such balance sheet.

     “Funded Debt” means all Debt maturing one year or more from the date of the incurrence, creation, assumption or guarantee thereof, all Debt directly or indirectly renewable or extendable, at the option of the debtor, by its terms or by the terms of the instrument or agreement relating thereto, to a date one year or more from the date of the incurrence, creation, assumption or guarantee thereof, and all Debt under a revolving credit or similar agreement obligating the lender or lenders to extend credit over a period of one year or more.

     “Permitted Liens” include:

     (a) Liens existing at, or provided for under the terms of an “after-acquired property” clause or similar term of any agreement existing on the date of, the initial issuance of the 2038 Notes or the terms of any mortgage, pledge agreement or similar agreement existing on such date of initial issuance;

     (b) Liens on property, shares of stock, indebtedness or other assets of any Person (which is not a Subsidiary of the Partnership) existing at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Partnership or is merged into or consolidated with or into the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries (whether or not the obligations secured thereby are assumed by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries), provided that such Liens are not incurred in anticipation of such Person becoming a Subsidiary of the Partnership, or Liens existing at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a Person as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries;

     (d) any Lien on property, shares of capital stock, indebtedness or other assets created at the time of the acquisition of same by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or within 12 months after such acquisition to secure all or a portion of the purchase price of such property, capital stock, indebtedness or other assets or indebtedness incurred to

finance such purchase price, whether such indebtedness is incurred prior to, at the time of or within one year after the date of such acquisition;

     (e) Liens on property, shares of stock, indebtedness or other assets to secure any Debt incurred to pay the costs of construction, development, repair or improvements thereon, or incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 12 months after, the latest of the completion of construction, the completion of development, repair or improvements or the commencement of full commercial operation of such property for the purpose of financing all or any part of, such construction or the making of such development, repair or improvements;

     (m) Liens on any property to secure bonds for the construction, installation or financing of pollution control or abatement facilities, or other forms of industrial revenue bond financing, or indebtedness issued or guaranteed by the United States, any state or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof;

The actual redemption price, calculated as provided in the 2038 Notes, will be calculated and certified to the Trustee and the Partnership by the Independent Investment Banker.”

     SECTION 2.3 Covenants.

     Article IV of the Original Indenture shall be amended and supplemented by inserting the following new sections in their entirety:

     “Section 4.12. Limitation on Sale-Leaseback Transactions. The Partnership shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale-Leaseback Transaction unless:

     (a) such Sale-Leaseback Transaction occurs within 12 months from the date of completion of the acquisition of the Principal Property subject thereto or the date of the completion of construction, or development of, or substantial repair or improvement on, or commencement of full operations of, such Principal Property, whichever is later;

     (b) the Partnership or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, would be permitted, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, to incur Debt, in a principal amount at least equal to the Attributable Indebtedness with respect to such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, secured by a Lien on the Principal Property subject to such Sale-Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.13 without equally and ratably securing the 2038 Notes pursuant to such Section; or

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Partnership may, and may permit any Subsidiary to, effect any Sale-Leaseback Transaction that is not excepted by clauses

(a) through (c), inclusive, of this Section, provided that the Attributable Indebtedness from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, together with the aggregate principal amount of (i) all other Attributable Indebtedness deemed to be outstanding in respect of all Sale-Leaseback Transactions (exclusive of any such Sale-Leaseback Transactions otherwise permitted under clauses (a) and (c) of this Section) and (ii) all outstanding Debt secured by Liens, other than Permitted Liens, on any Principal Property or upon any shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary owning or leasing any Principal Property, does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership may, and may permit any Subsidiary to, incur, create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on any Principal Property or upon any shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary owning or leasing any Principal Property to secure Debt of the Partnership or any other Person, without securing the 2038 Notes as provided in this Section, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Debt then outstanding secured by any such Lien together with the aggregate amount of Attributable Indebtedness deemed to be outstanding in respect of all Sale-Leaseback Transactions (exclusive of any such Sale-Leaseback Transactions otherwise permitted under clauses (a) and (c) of Section 4.12), does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

     Section 4.14. Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. If at any time after the original issuance of the 2038 Notes, including following any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee under this Indenture, any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including any future Subsidiary of the Partnership) guarantees any Funded Debt of the Partnership, then the Partnership shall cause such Subsidiary to guarantee the 2038 Notes and in connection with such guarantee, to execute and deliver an Indenture supplemental hereto pursuant to Section 9.01(g) simultaneously therewith. In order to further evidence its Guarantee, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a notation relating to such Guarantee in accordance with Section 14.02.”

Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding 2038 Notes a written notice specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, and the receipt by the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors of such written notice.”

     SECTION 2.5 Administration of Trust.

     Article VII of the Original Indenture shall be amended and supplemented by inserting the following new section in its entirety:

     “Section 7.13. Administration of Trust.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (other than at maturity) will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the April 1 or October 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. Interest on the Securities of this series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Payments in respect of Securities in definitive form (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, which on the date hereof is located at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, EX-NY-WALL, New York, NY 10005, Attn: David Massa, or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be maintained for such purpose, 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.

TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Debt Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Dated:		U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, As Trustee
		By
				Authorized Signatory

[FORM OF REVERSE OF 2038 NOTE]

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of the series of Debt Securities of the Company designated as its 7.55% Senior Notes due 2038 (such series being herein called the “Securities”), which is issued under, with securities of one or more additional series that may be issued under, an indenture dated as of February 20, 2002, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, successor to Wachovia Bank, National Association and First Union National Bank, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 27, 2008 (such Indenture, as so amended and supplemented, being called the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all future indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

     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; and (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 Make-Whole Price) on the Securities to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption (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 50 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:

     “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.

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining terms of the Securities to be redeemed; provided, however, that if no maturity is within three months before or after the maturity date for the Securities, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such United States Treasury security will be determined and the treasury rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis rounding to the nearest month.

     “Independent Investment Banker” means any of UBS Securities LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (and their respective successors) or, if no such firm is willing and able to select the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue or perform the other functions of the Independent Investment Banker provided in the Indenture, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee and reasonably acceptable to the Company.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (a) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (a) each of UBS Securities LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (or its relevant affiliate) and their respective successors; and (b) one other primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States selected by the Company (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”); provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall resign as a Reference Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date for the Securities, an average, as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for the Securities (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to an Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

     Securities called for optional redemption become due on the Redemption Date. Notices of optional redemption will be mailed at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of optional redemption for the Securities will state, among other things, the amount of Securities to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the method of calculating such Make-Whole Price and the place(s) that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of Securities to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Make-Whole Price, interest will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date with respect to any Securities that have been called for optional redemption. If less than all the Securities are redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select the Securities to be redeemed on a pro rata basis or by any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.

     The Securities may be redeemed in part in multiplies of $1,000 only. Any such redemption will also comply with Article III of the Indenture.

     Except as set forth above, the Securities will not be redeemable prior to their Stated Maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

     As set forth in the Indenture, an Event of Default with respect to the Securities is generally: (a) failure to pay principal upon Stated Maturity, redemption or otherwise; (b) default for 30 days in payment of interest on any of the Securities; (c) failure for 60 days after notice to comply with any other covenants in the Indenture or the Securities; (d) certain payment defaults under, or the acceleration prior to the Stated Maturity of, Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $50,000,000, unless such acceleration is rescinded within 60 days after notice to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors as provided in the Indenture; (e) the Guarantee of the Securities by any of the Subsidiary Guarantors ceases to be in full force and effect (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture); and (f) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

     If an Event of Default described in clause (f) in the preceding paragraph occurs, then the principal amount of all Outstanding Securities, premium, if any, and interest thereon shall ipso facto be due and payable immediately. If any other Event of Default with respect to the Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the principal amount of all the Securities, premium, if any, and accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately. The Indenture provides that such declaration may be rescinded in certain events by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities.

     No Holder of the Securities may pursue any remedy under the Indenture unless the Trustee shall have failed to act within 60 days after notice of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities and written request by Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, and the offer to the Trustee of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; however, such provision does not affect the right to sue for enforcement of any overdue payment on a Security by the Holder thereof. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except default in payment of principal, premium or interest) if it determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders. The Company is required to file a report with the Trustee each year as to the absence or existence of defaults.

     The Company’s payment obligations under the Securities are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors. Any Subsidiary Guarantor may be released from its Guarantee of the Securities under the circumstances described in the Indenture.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness of the Company and Subsidiary Guarantors on this Security and (ii) certain Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to make other changes that do not adversely affect the rights of any Holder and to make certain other specified changes.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on this Security at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registerable in the Debt Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee, assessment or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     The General Partner and its directors, officers, employees, incorporators and stockholders, as such, shall have no liability for any obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Company under the Securities, the Indenture or the Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting this Security, waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of this Security.

     Prior to the time of due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to TEPPCO Partners, L.P., 1100 Louisiana Street, Suite 1800, Houston, Texas 77002, Attn: Investor Relations.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the Holders thereof. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other identifying information printed hereon.

     This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
