Qualified Notice for Non-U.S. Unitholder Income Tax Withholding
This release is intended to serve as qualified notice under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b)(4) and (d). Brokers and nominees should treat one hundred percent of Enterprise’s distributions to non-U.S. investors as being attributable to income that is effectively connected with a United States trade or business.

For purposes of Treasury Regulation section 1.1446(f)-4(c)(2)(iii), brokers and nominees should treat one hundred percent of the distributions as being in excess of cumulative net income for purposes of determining the amount to withhold. Nominees, and not Enterprise Products Partners L.P., are treated as withholding agents responsible for any necessary withholding on amounts received by them on behalf of foreign investors.
