(e) On February 23, 2010, the Audit, Conflicts and Governance Committee (the Committee) of
the board of directors (the Board) of Enterprise Products GP, LLC, the general partner (the
General Partner) of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (the Partnership), approved new forms of
(i) Option Grant (Exhibit 10.3 hereto), (ii) Employee Restricted Unit Grant (Exhibit 10.5 hereto)
and (iii) Non-Employee Director Unit Grant (Exhibit 10.6 hereto) under the 1998 Restated Plan (as
defined below).
In addition, the Committee approved new forms of (i) Option Grant (Exhibit 10.9 hereto), (ii)
Employee Restricted Unit Grant (Exhibit 10.10 hereto) and (iii) Non-Employee Director Unit Grant
(Exhibit 10.11 hereto) under the 2008 Restated Plan (as defined below).
Further, the Committee approved certain amendments to existing grant agreements for options
and restricted units under the 1998 Restated Plan (Exhibits 10.2 and 10.4, respectively) and to
existing grant agreements for options under the 2008 Restated Plan (Exhibit 10.8). These
amendments provide for, among other things, conforming changes regarding a qualifying termination
(as defined in the amendments).
In addition, the Committee approved awards of restricted common units and options to purchase common units to the principal
executive officer, principal financial officer and certain other named executive officers under the

the 2008 Plan and prior grant agreements.

2008 Restated Plan, and together with the 1998 Restated Plan, the Restated Plans). The
Restated Plans were amended and restated to clarify that the Committee shall have the discretion to
establish forfeiture provisions and restrictions on transferability, if any, of restricted unit
grants. Copies of the Restated Plans reflecting these changes are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.7,
respectively.

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS
1998 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
(Amended and Restated as of February 23, 2010)
SECTION 1 Purpose of the Plan. The Enterprise Products 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan,
as amended and restated hereby (the Plan), is intended to promote the interests of Enterprise
Products Company, a Texas corporation (the Company), and Enterprise Products Partners L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the Partnership), by encouraging employees and directors of the
Company and its Affiliates who perform services for the Company and/or the Partnership to acquire
or increase their equity interests in the Partnership and to provide a means whereby they may
develop a sense of proprietorship and personal involvement in the development and financial success
of the Partnership, and to encourage them to remain with the Company and its Affiliates and to
devote their best efforts to the business of Company and/or the Partnership, thereby advancing the
interests of Company, the Partnership and their respective stockholders or partners. The Plan is
also contemplated to enhance the ability of the Company and its Affiliates to attract and retain
the services of key individuals who are essential for the growth and profitability of the Company
and/or the Partnership.
SECTION 2 Definitions.
As used in the Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

Partnership has a direct or indirect significant business interest, in each case, as determined by
the Committee in its discretion.
Award means an Option, a Restricted Unit or a Phantom Unit granted under the Plan.
Board means the Board of Directors of the Company.
Committee means the Audit and Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of the General

Employee means any employee of the Company or an Affiliate.
Exchange Act means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

or the date of exercise (in whole or in part) of an Option, as applicable (or if there is no
trading in the Units on such date, on the next preceding date on which there was trading) as
reported in The Wall Street Journal (or other reporting service approved by the Committee). In the
event Units are not publicly traded at the time a determination of fair market value is required to
be made hereunder, the determination of fair market value shall be made in good faith by the
Committee.
General Partner means Enterprise Products GP, LLC, the general partner of the Partnership.
Option means an option to purchase Units granted under the Plan.

1
Person means any individual, corporation, partnership, association, joint-stock company,

Phantom Unit means a notional or phantom unit granted under the Plan which upon vesting
entitles the holder to receive one Unit.

and restrictions on its transferability, if any, established by the Committee under the Plan.
Rule 16b-3 means Rule 16b-3 promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, or any successor
rule or regulation thereto as in effect from time to time.
SEC means the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any successor thereto.

SECTION 3 Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. A majority
of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the acts of the members of the Committee who are
present at any meeting thereof at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved by the
members of the Committee in writing, shall be the acts of the Committee. Subject to the terms of
the Plan and applicable law, and in addition to other express powers and authorizations conferred
on the Committee by the Plan, the Committee shall have full power and authority to: (i) designate
Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to a Participant; (iii)
determine the number of Units to be covered by Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of
any Award; (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances Awards may be
settled, exercised, canceled, or forfeited; (vi) interpret and administer the Plan and any
instrument or agreement relating to an Award made under the Plan; (vii) establish, amend, suspend,
or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the
proper administration of the Plan; and (viii) make any other determination and take any other
action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. Unless
otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and
other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within the sole discretion
of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all
Persons, including the Company, the Partnership, any Affiliate, any Participant, and any
beneficiary thereof.
SECTION 4 Units Available for Awards.
(a) Units Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c),
the number of Units with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan is 7,000,000. If any
Award is forfeited or otherwise terminates or is canceled without the delivery of Units, then the
Units covered by such Award, to the extent of such forfeiture, termination or cancellation, shall
again be Units with respect to which Awards may be granted. If any Award is exercised and less than
all of the Units covered by such Award are delivered in connection with such exercise, then the
Units covered by such Award which were not delivered upon such exercise shall again be Units with
respect to which Awards may be granted.
(b) Sources of Units Deliverable Under Awards. Any Units delivered
pursuant to an Award shall consist, in whole or in part, of Units acquired in the open market, from
any Affiliate (including, without limitation, the Partnership) or other Person, or any combination
of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. If, at the time of exercise by
a Participant of all or a portion of such Participants Award, the Company determines to acquire
Units in the open market and the Company is prohibited, under applicable law, or the rules and/or
regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Committee or the New York Stock Exchange or
the policies of the Company or an Affiliate, from acquiring Units in the open market, delivery of
any Units to the Participant in connection with such Participants exercise of an Award may be
delayed until such reasonable time as the Company is entitled to acquire, and does acquire, Units
in the open market.
2
(c) Adjustments. In the event the Committee determines that any
distribution (whether in the form of cash, Units, other securities, or other property),
recapitalization, split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off,
combination, repurchase, or exchange of Units or other securities of the Partnership, issuance of
warrants or other rights to purchase Units or other securities of the Partnership, or other similar
transaction or event affects the Units such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be
appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may
deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Units (or other securities or
property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, (ii) the number and type of Units (or other
securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant or exercise price with
respect to any Award; provided, that the number of Units subject to any Award shall always be a
whole number.
SECTION 5 Eligibility. Any Employee and Director shall be eligible to be designated a Participant.
SECTION 6 Awards.
(a) Options. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the
Employees and Directors to whom Options shall be granted, the number of Units to be covered by each
Option, the exercise price therefor and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise
of the Option, including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and
conditions, as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions or
intent of the Plan.
(i) Exercise Price. The purchase price per Unit purchasable under an
Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted and may be equal to
or greater than its Fair Market Value as of the date of grant, as determined by the Committee, in
its discretion.
(ii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or
times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, and the method or methods by which
any payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made,
which may include, without limitation, cash, check acceptable to the Company, a cashless-broker
exercise (through procedures approved by the Company), other property, a note from the Participant
(in a form and on terms acceptable to the Company, which may include such security arrangements as
the Company deems appropriate), or any combination thereof, having a value on the exercise date
equal to the relevant exercise price.
(iii) Term. Each Option shall expire as provided in the grant agreement
for such Option.
(b) Restricted Units. The Committee shall have the authority to determine
the Employees and Directors to whom Restricted Units shall be granted, the number of Restricted
Units to be granted to each such Participant, the period and the conditions (if any) under which
the Restricted Units may become vested or forfeited, which may include, without limitation, the
accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals, and such other terms and
conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such Award, including whether
distributions made by the Partnership with respect to the Restricted Units shall be subject to the
same forfeiture and other restrictions as the Restricted Unit. If distributions are so restricted,
such distributions shall be held by the Company, without interest, until the Restricted Unit vests
or is forfeited with the retained distributions then being paid or forfeited at the same time, as
the case may be. Absent such a restriction on distributions in the grant agreement, Partnership
distributions shall be paid currently to the holder of the Restricted Unit without restriction.
(c) Phantom Units. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the
Employees and Directors to whom Phantom Units shall be granted, the number of Phantom Units to be
granted to each such Participant, the period during which the Award remains subject to forfeiture,
the conditions under which the Phantom Units may become vested or forfeited, and such other terms
and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such Award, including whether DERs
are granted with respect to such Phantom Units. Upon or as soon as reasonably practical following
the vesting of each Phantom Unit, the Participant shall be entitled to
3
receive payment thereof in a single lump sum no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the
third (3rd) month following the date on which vesting occurs and the restrictions lapse. Should the
Participant die before receiving all amounts payable hereunder, the balance shall be paid to the
Participants estate by this date.
(d) DERs. To the extent provided by the Committee in its discretion, a
grant of Phantom Units may include a tandem DER grant, which shall provide that such DERs shall be
paid currently to the Participant, be credited to a Company bookkeeping account (with or without
interest) and be subject to the same restrictions as the tandem Award, or be subject to such other
provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion and provided in such
grant agreement. To the extent DERs are subject to any payment restrictions, any amounts not
previously paid shall be paid to the Participant at the time the payment restrictions lapse. Such
amounts shall be distributed in a single lump sum no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the
third (3rd) month following the date on which the payment restrictions lapse. Should the
Participant die before receiving all amounts payable hereunder, the balance shall be paid to the
Participants estate by this date.
(e) General.
(i) Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the
discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in
substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan
of the Company or any Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or
awards granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate may be granted either at the
same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.
(ii) Limits on Transfer of Awards.
(A) Each Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the
Participants lifetime, or by the person to whom the Participants rights shall pass by will or the
laws of descent and distribution.
(B) No Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated,
pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant otherwise than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation,
pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the
Company or any Affiliate.
(iii) Unit Certificates. All certificates for Units or other securities of
the Partnership delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be
subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable
under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange
upon which such Units or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal or state
laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make
appropriate reference to such restrictions.
(iv) Consideration for Grants. Awards may be granted for no cash
consideration payable by a Participant or for such consideration payable by a Participant as the
Committee determines including, without limitation, such minimal cash consideration as may be
required by applicable law.
(v) Delivery of Units or other Securities and Payment by Participant of
Consideration. No Units or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until
payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award
grant agreement (including, without limitation, any exercise price or tax withholding) is received
by the Company. Such payment may be made by such method or methods and in such form or forms as the
Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, withholding of Units,
cashless-broker exercises with simultaneous sale, or any combination thereof; provided that the
combined value, as determined by the Committee, of all cash and cash equivalents and the fair
market value of any such property so tendered to, or withheld by, the Company, as of the date of
such tender, is at least
equal to the full amount required to be paid to the Company pursuant to the Plan or the
applicable Award agreement.
4
SECTION 7 Amendment and Termination. Except to the extent prohibited by
applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award agreement or in the Plan:
(i) Amendments to the Plan. Except as required by applicable law or the
rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Units are traded and subject to Section
7(ii) below, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the
Plan without the consent of any partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or
other Person.
(ii) Amendments to Awards. The Committee may waive any conditions or
rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided no change, other
than pursuant to Section 7(iii), in any Award shall materially reduce the benefit to Participant
without the consent of such Participant.
(iii) Adjustment or Termination of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain
Events. The Committee is hereby authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of,
and the criteria (if any) included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or significant events
(including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4(c) of the Plan) affecting the
Partnership or the financial statements of the Partnership, of changes in applicable laws,
regulations, or accounting principles, or a change in control of the Company (as determined by its
Board) or the Partnership (as determined by the Committee), whenever the Committee determines that
such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. Such adjustments may include,
without limitation, accelerating the exercisability of an Award, accelerating the date on which the
Award will terminate and/or canceling Awards by the issuance or transfer of Units having a value
equal to the Options positive spread.
SECTION 8 General Provisions.
(a) No Rights to Awards. No Person shall have any claim to be granted any
Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants. The terms and
conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.
(b) Termination of Employment. For purposes of the Plan, unless the Award
agreement provides to the contrary, a Participant shall not be deemed to have terminated employment
with the Company and its Affiliates or membership from the Board until such date as the Participant
is no longer either an Employee or a Director, i.e., a change in status from Employee to Director
or Director to Employee shall not be a termination.
(c) No Right to Employment. The grant of an Award shall not be construed
as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate or
to remain on the Board, as applicable. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss
a Participant from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless
otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award agreement. Nothing in the Plan
or any Award agreement shall operate or be construed as constituting an employment agreement with
any Participant and each Participant shall be an at will employee, unless such Participant has
entered into a separate written employment agreement with the Company or an Affiliate.
(d) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and
any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware and applicable federal law, without giving effect to principles of conflicts
of law.
(e) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes
or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or
Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee,
such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it
cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the
5
determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such
provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan
and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.
(f) Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or
other consideration under an Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or
transfer or such Units or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation,
the rules of any securities exchange, or entitle the Partnership or an Affiliate to recover the
same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a
Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be
promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary.
(g) Unsecured Creditors. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be
construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant
or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the
Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any
general unsecured creditor of the Company or the Affiliate.
(h) No Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered
pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and any such fractional Units or any rights thereto shall be
canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated, without the payment of any consideration therefor.
(i) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the
Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way
material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.
SECTION 9 Term of the Plan; Unitholder Approval. The Plan, as hereby amended and
restated, shall be effective on the date of its approval by the Unitholders of the Partnership and
shall continue until the earliest of (i) all available Units under the Plan have been paid to
Participants, (ii) the termination of the Plan by action of the Board or the Committee or (iii) the
10th anniversary of the date of the approval by the Unitholders of this amendment and restatement.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, prior to the approval of this amendment and
restatement by the Unitholders of the Partnership, (i) no Restricted Units or Phantom Units may be
granted under the Plan and (ii) Options may not be granted under the Plan with respect to more
Units than the number available prior to the increase in available Units made by this amendment and
restatement.
SECTION 10. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if
any Plan provision or Award under the Plan would result in the imposition of an additional tax
under Code Section 409A and related regulations and United States Department of the Treasury
pronouncements (Section 409A), that Plan provision or Award will be reformed to the extent
practicable to avoid imposition of the applicable tax and no action taken to comply with Section
409A shall be deemed to adversely affect the Participants rights to an Award or require the
consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding any provisions in the Plan to the contrary, to the
extent that the Participant is a specified employee (as defined in Section 409A of the Code and
applicable regulatory guidance) subject to the six month delay under Section 409A in distributions
under the Plan, no distribution or payment that is subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be
made hereunder on account of such Participants separation from service (as defined in Section
409A of the Code and applicable regulatory guidance) before the date that is the first day of the
month that occurs six months after the date of the Participants separation from service (or, if
earlier, the date of death of the Participant or any other date permitted under Section 409A of the
Code and applicable regulatory guidance). Any such amount that is otherwise payable within the
six-month period following the Participants separation from service will be paid in a lump sum
without interest.

Exhibit 10.2
Amendment to Option Grant
(for option awards issued before February 23, 2010)
under the
Enterprise Products 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan
The undersigned participant (hereinafter, you or the Participant) hereby
agrees and acknowledges that the Committees current policy is that options that are not vested
will be forfeited and cancelled upon the Participants termination of employment except where the

expire at the end of such year if it is not so exercised). In the event your employment with the
Company and its Affiliates is terminated prior to the Vesting Date for any reason other than a
Qualifying Termination, the Options shall automatically and immediately be forfeited and cancelled

the term year shall mean a period comprised of 365 (or 366, as appropriate) days beginning on a
day of a calendar year and ending on the day immediately preceding the corresponding day of the

year after the Date of Grant would be May 20, 2011, the Vesting Date would be May 20, 2014
(assuming no earlier Qualifying Termination) and the calendar year in which the Options could be
exercised (except as described in Sections 7 and 8 hereof) would be 2015.
4. To the extent vested and subject to the procedures set forth in Addendum No. 2, the
Options may be exercised by submitting the Options Transaction Clearance Request and Tax
Withholding Election (Transaction Request) with respect to such exercise which references the
Option Grant Number set forth above and the number of Options (or Common Units relating thereto)
which are being exercised. Such Transaction Request shall be delivered or mailed to the Company at
its corporate offices in Houston, Texas, as follows:
2
Mailing Address: Enterprise Products Company, P.O. Box 4324, Houston, Texas
77210-4324, Attention: Sr. Vice President, Human Resources.
Delivery Address: Enterprise Products Company, 1100 Louisiana, 10th Floor, Houston,
Texas 77002, Attention: Sr. Vice President, Human Resources
An election to exercise shall be made in accordance with Addendum No. 2 and shall be
irrevocable. If you are an employee of the Company or an Affiliate and such exercise occurs other
than in a Qualified Month, it shall be deemed exercised in the next Qualified Month.
5. No exercise shall be effective until you have made arrangements acceptable to the Company
and in accordance with the Plan to satisfy the aggregate Exercise Price and all applicable tax
withholding requirements of the Company, if any, with respect to such exercise.
6. None of the Options are transferable (by operation of law or otherwise) by you, other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If, in the event of your divorce, legal separation
or other dissolution of your marriage, your former spouse is awarded ownership of, or an interest
in, all or part of the Options granted hereby to you (the Awarded Options), (i) to the extent the
Awarded Options are not fully vested, the Awarded Options shall automatically and immediately be
forfeited and cancelled unexercised as of the original date of the award thereof and (ii) to the
extent the Awarded Options are fully vested, the Company, in its sole discretion, may at any time
thereafter, during the period in which the Awarded Options are exercisable under the terms of the
domestic relations order providing for the assignment, cancel the Awarded Options by delivering to
such former spouse Common Units having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the payment date equal to
the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Units subject to the Awarded Options
over their aggregate Exercise Price.
7. In the event you terminate employment with the Company and its Affiliates for any reason
(which termination is a separation from service under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code)
other than a Qualifying Termination, the Options, if fully vested, may be exercised by you (or, in
the event of your death, by the person to whom your rights shall pass by will or the laws of the
descent and distribution (Beneficiary)) only during the Qualified Month next following your
employment termination date. If you cease to be an active, full-time employee, as determined by
the Company in its sole discretion, without regard as to how your status is treated by the Company
for any of its other compensation or benefit plans or programs, you will be deemed to have
terminated employment with the Company and its Affiliates for purposes of this Agreement.
8. In the event of a Qualifying Termination or an unforeseeable emergency (as defined in
Section 409A) which is approved by the Company, the vested portion of the Options may be exercised
by you only during the Qualified Month next following such event. Notwithstanding the above, in the
event such Qualifying Termination is due to your death, the vested portion of the Options may be
exercised by your Beneficiary only during the second Qualified Month next following such event.
9. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer any right on you to continue
employment with any member of the Affiliated Group or restrict the Company or its Affiliates from
terminating your employment at any time. Unless you have a separate written employment agreement
with an Affiliated Group member, you are, and shall continue to be, an at will employee.
10. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Options shall not be
exercisable, and neither the Company nor the Partnership shall be obligated to deliver to you any
Common Units, if counsel to the Company determines such exercise or delivery, as the case may be,
would violate any law or regulation of any governmental authority or agreement between the Company
or the Partnership and any national securities exchange upon which the Common Units are listed or
any policy of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.
11. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if you give notice of exercise
within a quiet period, as provided in Addendum No. 1 hereto, the timing of the delivery
of Common Units pursuant to your exercise shall be governed by the terms of Addendum No. 1.
Further, neither the Company nor the Partnership shall
3
have any liability to you for any loss you may suffer (whether by a decrease in the value of the
Common Units, failure or inability to receive Partnership distributions or otherwise) from any
delay by the Company or the Partnership in delivering to you Common Units in connection with the
whole or partial exercise by you of the Options.
12. These Options are subject to the terms of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated by
reference as if set forth in its entirety herein, including, without limitation, the ability of the
Company, in its discretion, to accelerate the termination of the Option and to amend your Option
grant award without your approval. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement
and the Plan, the Plan shall be the controlling document. Capitalized terms that are used, but are
not defined, in this Option grant award have the respective meanings provided for in the Plan. The
Plan, as in effect on the Date of Grant, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Restricted Unit Grant Number:
Enterprise Products Company (formerly EPCO, Inc.) (the Company) is pleased to inform you
that you have been granted the number of Restricted Units set forth above under the Enterprise
Products 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan). A Restricted Unit is a Common Unit of
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (the Partnership) that is subject to the forfeiture and
non-transferability provisions set forth below in this Agreement (the Restrictions). The terms of
the grant are as follows:
1. The Restricted Units granted by this Restricted Unit Grant (such granted Restricted Units
being herein referred to, individually, as a Restricted Unit and, collectively or in any
combination, as the Restricted Units) shall become fully vested, i.e., not restricted, in
accordance with the schedule set forth in the table below (the dates in such table being referred
to as Vesting Dates); provided however, that (notwithstanding the foregoing) one hundred percent
(100%) of any Restricted Units that have not previously vested shall vest on the first day of the

Termination (as defined in Section 4 below).

Restricted Units Originally Granted
Under this Grant Being Vested: |
In the event your status as an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates (collectively,
the Affiliated Group) is terminated prior to a particular Vesting Date for any reason other than
a Qualifying Termination, the Restricted Units that have not yet vested as of such Vesting Date
shall automatically and immediately be forfeited and cancelled without payment on the date of such
termination.
2. The Restricted Units will be evidenced, at the sole option and in the sole discretion of
the Partnership, either (i) in book-entry form in your name in the Common Unit register of the
Partnership maintained by the Partnerships transfer agent or (ii) a unit certificate issued in
your name. You shall have voting rights and shall be entitled to receive all distributions made by
the Partnership on such Restricted Units free and clear of any Restrictions. If the Restricted
Units are evidenced by a certificate, the certificate shall bear the following legend:
The Units evidenced by this certificate have been issued pursuant to an agreement made as of
___, 20___, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein, between the Company and
the registered holder of the Units, and are subject to forfeiture to the Company under certain
circumstances described in such agreement. The sale, assignment, pledge or other transfer of the
shares of Units evidenced by this certificate is prohibited under the terms and conditions of such
agreement, and such Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred except as
provided in such agreement.
1
The Company may cause the certificate to be delivered upon issuance to the Secretary of the
Company as a depository for safekeeping until the forfeiture occurs or the Restrictions lapse
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon request of the Company, you shall deliver to the
Company a unit power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Units then subject to the
Restrictions. Upon any lapse of the Restrictions without forfeiture, the Company shall, upon your
request, cause a certificate or certificates to be issued without legend in your name evidencing
the Restricted Units that have vested.
3. None of the Restricted Units are transferable (by operation of law or otherwise) by you,
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If, in the event of your divorce, legal
separation or other dissolution of your marriage, your former spouse is awarded ownership of, or an
interest in, all or part of any Restricted Units granted hereby to you that have not yet vested
(the Awarded Restricted Units), the Awarded Restricted Units shall automatically and immediately

or after (1) reaching age 62, (2) having 10 or more years of credited service as an employee of one

employment was initiated by you, is upon or after the occurrence of a Termination for Good Reason;
provided, however, that you terminate your employment with any Affiliated Group member (or any
successor) and its Affiliates within 120 days following the date on which you have actual notice of
the event that gives rise to the Termination for Good Reason.

law, rule or regulation relating to a minor traffic violation or similar offense), or an act which
constitutes a breach by you of a fiduciary duty owed to any Affiliated Group member (or its
successor); or
(b) the commission by you of an act of dishonesty relating to the performance of your duties,
habitual unexcused absence(s) from work, willful failure to perform duties in any material respect
(other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness or
disability), or gross negligence in the performance of duties resulting in material damage or
injury to any Affiliated Group member (or its successor), its reputation or goodwill (provided,
however, that in the event of your willful failure to perform duties in any material respect, you
shall be provided with written notice of such event and shall be provided with a reasonable
opportunity, in no event more than 30 days, to cure such failure to perform your duties); or
(c) any felony conviction of you or any conviction of you involving dishonesty, fraud or
breach of trust (other than for a minor traffic violation or similar offense), whether or not in
the line of duty.
Termination for Good Reason means any nonconsensual (a) material reduction in your
authority, duties or responsibilities; (b) reduction in your compensation by more than 20 percent
from the compensation (excluding Awards pursuant to the Plan or other equity-based compensation)
paid by any Affiliated Group member (or its successor) during the completed fiscal year prior to
the Change of Control; or (c) change caused by any Affiliated Group member (or its successor) in
your office location of more than 50 miles from its location on the date of the Change of Control.
5. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer any right on you to continue
employment with any member of the Affiliated Group or restrict the Company or its Affiliates from
terminating your employment at any time. Employment with an Affiliate shall be deemed to be
employment with the Company for purposes of the Plan. Unless you have a separate written employment
agreement with an Affiliated Group member, you are, and shall continue to be, an at will
employee.
6. To the extent that the grant or vesting of a Restricted Unit results in the receipt of
compensation by you with respect to which the Company or an Affiliate has a tax withholding
obligation pursuant to applicable law, unless you make other arrangements that are acceptable to
the Company or such Affiliate, you must deliver to the Company or the Affiliate such amount of
money as the Company or the Affiliate may require to meet its tax withholding obligations under
such applicable law. No issuance of an unrestricted Common Unit shall be made pursuant to this
Agreement until you have paid or made arrangements approved by the applicable member of the
Affiliated Group to satisfy in full any applicable tax withholding obligations pursuant to
applicable law. For purposes of this paragraph, unless you make other arrangements or are
subsequently notified to the contrary, applicable member of the Affiliated Group will satisfy your
obligations with respect to any applicable tax withholding by withholding from the issuance under
this Agreement a number of vested Common Units having a then-fair-market value equal to such tax
withholding obligations, based on the closing price per Common Unit as reported on the New York
Stock Exchange (or other principal stock exchange on which the Common Units are then listed) on the
date of vesting. The Committee has determined that it intends that the Plan meet the requirements
of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and that the transactions of the type specified in Rule 16b-3
by non-employee directors and by officers of the Company (whether or not they are directors)
pursuant to the Plan, including the foregoing net settlement procedure, will be exempt from the
operation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
7. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Company nor the
Partnership shall be obligated to deliver to you any unrestricted Common Units if counsel to the
Company
3
determines such delivery would violate any law or regulation of any governmental authority or
agreement between the Company or the Partnership and any national securities exchange upon which
the Common Units are listed or any policy of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.
8. These Restricted Units are subject to the terms of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated
by reference as if set forth in its entirety herein, including, without limitation, the ability of
the Company, in its discretion, to amend your Restricted Unit award without your approval. In the
event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall be the
controlling document. Capitalized terms that are used, but are not defined, in this Option grant
award have the respective meanings provided for in the Plan. The Plan, as in effect on the Date of
Grant, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

2
Section 4. Common Units Available for Awards.
(a) Common Units Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c),
the number of Common Units with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan is
10,000,000. To the extent an Award is forfeited or otherwise terminates or is canceled without the
delivery of Common Units, then the Common Units covered by such Award, to the extent of such
forfeiture, termination or cancellation, shall again be Common Units with respect to which Awards
may be granted. If any Award is exercised and less than all of the Common Units covered by such
Award are delivered in connection with such exercise, then the Common Units covered by such Award
which were not delivered upon such exercise shall again be Common Units with respect to which
Awards may be granted. Common Units withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations of the Company
or an Affiliate shall not be considered to have been delivered under the Plan for this purpose.
(b) Sources of Common Units Deliverable Under Awards. Any Common Units delivered
pursuant to an Award shall consist, in whole or in part, of Common Units acquired in the open
market, from any Affiliate (including, without limitation, the Partnership) or other Person, or any
combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. If, at the time of
exercise by a Participant of all or a portion of such Participants Award, the Company determines
to acquire Common Units in the open market and the Company is prohibited, under applicable law, or
the rules and/or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Committee or the New York
Stock Exchange or the policies of the Company or an Affiliate, from acquiring Common Units in the
open market, delivery of any Common Units to the Participant in connection with such Participants
exercise of an Award may be delayed until such reasonable time as the Company is entitled to
acquire, and does acquire, Common Units in the open market.
(c) Adjustments. In the event the Committee determines that any distribution
(whether in the form of cash, Common Units, other securities, or other property), recapitalization,
split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
repurchase, or exchange of Common Units or other securities of the Partnership, issuance of
warrants or other rights to purchase Common Units or other securities of the Partnership, or other
similar transaction or event affects the Common Units such that an adjustment is determined by the
Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such
manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Common Units (or
other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, (ii) the number and type
of Common Units (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the
grant or exercise price with respect to any Award; provided, that the number of Common Units
subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.
Section 5. Eligibility. Any Employee, Director or Consultant shall be
eligible to be designated a Participant.
Section 6. Awards.
(a) Options. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees,
Directors and Consultants to whom Options shall be granted, the number of Common Units to be
covered by each Option, the exercise price therefor and the conditions and limitations applicable
to the exercise of the Option, including the following terms and conditions and such additional
terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the
provisions or intent of the Plan.
(i) Exercise Price. The purchase price per Common Unit purchasable under an
Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted, but may not be less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Common Unit as of the date of grant.
(ii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or
times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, and the method or methods by which
any payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made,
which may include, without limitation: cash; check acceptable to the Company; a cashless-broker
exercise (through procedures
3
approved by the Company); other property (including, with the consent of the Committee, the
withholding of Common Units that may otherwise be delivered to the optionee upon the exercise of
the Option); or any combination thereof, in each case having a value on the exercise date equal to
the relevant exercise price.
(iii) Term. Each Option shall expire as provided in the grant agreement for such
Option.
(b) Restricted Units. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the
Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Restricted Units shall be granted, the number of
Restricted Units to be granted to each such Participant, the period and the conditions (if any)
under which the Restricted Units may become vested or forfeited, which may include, without
limitation, the accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals or other
criteria, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such
Award, including whether any distributions made by the Partnership with respect to the Restricted
Units shall be payable with respect to, and/or accrue on, such Restricted Units and, if payable
and/or accrued, whether such distributions shall be subject to forfeiture and/or other
restrictions. If distributions are to be forfeited and/or otherwise restricted, such restrictions
(including forfeitures, if any) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.
(c) Phantom Units. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees,
Directors and Consultants to whom Phantom Units shall be granted, the number of Phantom Units to be
granted to each such Participant, the period during which the Award remains subject to forfeiture,
the conditions under which the Phantom Units may become vested or forfeited, and such other terms
and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such Award. Upon or as soon as
reasonably practical following the vesting of each Phantom Unit, the Participant shall be entitled
to receive payment thereof in a single lump sum no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third
(3rd) month following the date on which vesting occurs and the restrictions lapse. Should the
Participant die before receiving all amounts payable hereunder, the balance shall be paid to the
Participants estate by this date.
(d) DERs. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees,
Directors and Consultants to whom DERs shall be granted, the number of DERs to be granted to each
such Participant, the period during which the Award remains subject to forfeiture, the limits, if
any, or portion of a DER that is payable, the conditions under which the DERs may become vested or
forfeited, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such
Award. To the extent DERs are subject to any payment restrictions, any amounts not previously paid
shall be paid to the Participant at the time the payment restrictions lapse. Such amounts shall be
distributed in a single lump sum no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month
following the date on which the payment restrictions lapse. Should the Participant die before
receiving all amounts payable hereunder, the balance shall be paid to the Participants estate by
this date.
(e) CUARs. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees,
Directors and Consultants to whom CUARs shall be granted, the number of Common Units to be covered

exercise of the CUAR, and such additional terms and conditions as the Committee may establish with
respect to such Award.
(f) General.
(i) Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion
of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for
any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or
any Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or awards granted under
any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or at a
different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.
4
(ii) Limits on Transfer of Awards.
(A) Each Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the Participants
lifetime, or by the person to whom the Participants rights shall pass by will or the laws of
descent and distribution.
(B) No Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged,
attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant otherwise than by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge,
attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or
any Affiliate.
(iii) Common Unit Certificates. All certificates for Common Units or other
securities of the Partnership delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise
thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may
deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any
stock exchange upon which such Common Units or other securities are then listed, and any applicable
federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
(iv) Consideration for Grants. Awards may be granted for no cash consideration
payable by a Participant or for such consideration payable by a Participant as the Committee
determines including, without limitation, services or such minimal cash consideration as may be
required by applicable law.
(v) Delivery of Common Units or other Securities and Payment by Participant of
Consideration. No Common Units or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award
until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable
Award grant agreement (including, without limitation, any exercise price or required tax
withholding) is received by the Company. Such payment may be made by such method or methods and in
such form or forms as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash,
withholding of Common Units, cashless-broker exercises with simultaneous sale, or any combination
thereof; provided that the combined value, as determined by the Committee, of all cash and cash
equivalents and the fair market value of any such property so tendered to, or withheld by, the
Company, as of the date of such tender, is at least equal to the full amount required to be paid to
the Company pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award agreement.
Section 7. Amendment and Termination. Except to the extent prohibited
by applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award agreement or in the Plan:
(i) Amendments to the Plan. Except as required by applicable law or the rules of
the principal securities exchange on which the Common Units are traded and subject to Section 7(ii)
below, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan
without the consent of any partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or other
Person.
(ii) Amendments to Awards. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights
under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided no change, other than
pursuant to Section 7(iii), in any Award shall materially reduce the benefit to Participant without
the consent of such Participant.
(iii) Adjustment or Termination of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Events.
The Committee is hereby authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the
criteria (if any) included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or significant events (including,
without limitation, the events described in Section 4(c) of the Plan) affecting the Partnership or
the financial statements of the Partnership, of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or
accounting principles, or a change in control of the Company (as determined by its Board) or the
Partnership (as determined by the Committee), whenever the Committee determines that such
adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. Such adjustments may include,
without limitation, accelerating the exercisability of an Award, accelerating the date on which the
Award will terminate and/or canceling Awards by the issuance or transfer of Common Units having a
value equal to the Options positive spread.
5
Section 8. General Provisions.
(a) No Rights to Awards. No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award,
and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants. The terms and conditions of
Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.
(b) Termination of Employment. For purposes of the Plan, unless the Award
agreement provides to the contrary, a Participant shall not be deemed to have terminated employment
with the Company and its Affiliates or membership from the Board until such date as the Participant
is no longer either an Employee of the Company or an Affiliate or a Director, i.e., a change in
status from Employee to Director or Director to Employee shall not be a termination.
(c) No Right to Employment or Services. The grant of an Award shall not be
construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any
Affiliate, to continue services as a Consultant or to remain a Director, as applicable. Further,
the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or terminate a
consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise
expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award agreement. Nothing in the Plan or any Award
agreement shall operate or be construed as constituting an employment agreement with any
Participant and each Participant shall be an at will employee, unless such Participant has
entered into a separate written employment or other agreement with the Company or an Affiliate.
(d) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any
rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware and applicable federal law, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of
law.
(e) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is
deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award,
or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such
provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot
be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering
the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction,
Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and
effect.
(f) Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Common Units
or other consideration under an Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance
or transfer or such Common Units or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or
regulation, the rules of any securities exchange, or entitle the Partnership or an Affiliate to
recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company
by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall
be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary.
(g) No Trust Fund Created; Unsecured Creditors. Neither the Plan nor any Award
shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary
relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the
extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate
pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured
creditor of the Company or the Affiliate.
(h) No Fractional Common Units. No fractional Common Units shall be issued or
delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and any such fractional Common Units or any rights
thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated, without the payment of any
consideration therefor.
(i) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan
solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way
material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.
6
(j) Tax Withholding. The Company or any Affiliate is authorized to withhold from
any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or from any compensation or other
amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Common Units or other property) of any
applicable taxes payable in respect of the grant of an Award, its exercise, the lapse of
restrictions thereon, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such
other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or the Affiliate to satisfy its
withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes.
(k) Facility Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any person under legal
disability or who, in the judgment of the Committee, is unable to properly manage his financial
affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such person, or may be applied for the benefit
of such person in any manner which the Committee may select, and the Company and its Affiliates
shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts.
(l) Participation by Affiliates. In making Awards to Employees employed by an
Affiliate of the Company, the Committee shall be acting on behalf of the Affiliate, and to the
extent the Partnership has an obligation to reimburse the Affiliate for compensation paid to
Employees for services rendered for the benefit of the Partnership, such payments or reimbursement
payments may be made by the Partnership directly to the Affiliate, and, if made to the Company,
shall be received by the Company as agent for the Affiliate.
Section 9. Term of the Plan; Unitholder Approval. The Plan shall be
effective on the date of its approval by the Unitholders of the Partnership and shall continue
until the earliest of (i) all available Common Units under the Plan have been paid to Participants,
(ii) the termination of the Plan by action of the Board or the Committee or (iii) the 10th
anniversary of the date of the approval by the Unitholders of this Plan. However, unless otherwise
expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award agreement, any Award granted prior to such
termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend,
discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award,
shall extend beyond such termination date.
Section 10. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the
contrary, if any Plan provision or Award under the Plan would result in the imposition of an
additional tax under Code Section 409A and related regulations and United States Department of the
Treasury pronouncements (Section 409A), that Plan provision or Award will be reformed to the
extent practicable to avoid imposition of the applicable tax and no action taken to comply with
Section 409A shall be deemed to adversely affect the Participants rights to an Award or require
the consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding any provisions in the Plan to the contrary, to the
extent that the Participant is a specified employee (as defined in Section 409A of the Code and
applicable regulatory guidance) subject to the six month delay under Section 409A in distributions
under the Plan, no distribution or payment that is subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be
made hereunder on account of such Participants separation from service (as defined in Section
409A of the Code and applicable regulatory guidance) before the date that is the first day of the
month that occurs six months after the date of the Participants separation from service (or, if
earlier, the date of death of the Participant or any other date permitted under Section 409A of the
Code and applicable regulatory guidance). Any such amount that is otherwise payable within the
six-month period following the Participants separation from service will be paid in a lump sum
without interest.

year after the Date of Grant would be May 20, 2011, the Vesting Date would be May 20, 2014
(assuming no earlier Qualifying Termination) and the calendar year in which the Options could be
exercised (except as described in Sections 7 and 8 hereof) would be 2015.
4. To the extent vested and subject to the procedures set forth in Addendum No. 2, the
Options may be exercised by submitting the Options Transaction Clearance Request and Tax
Withholding Election (Transaction Request) with respect to such exercise which references the
Option Grant Number set forth above and the number of Options (or Common Units relating thereto)
which are being exercised. Such Transaction Request shall be delivered or mailed to the Company at
its corporate offices in Houston, Texas, as follows:
2
Mailing Address: Enterprise Products Company, P.O. Box 4324, Houston, Texas
77210-4324, Attention: Sr. Vice President, Human Resources.
Delivery Address: Enterprise Products Company, 1100 Louisiana, 10th Floor, Houston,
Texas 77002, Attention: Sr. Vice President, Human Resources
An election to exercise shall be made in accordance with Addendum No. 2 and shall be
irrevocable. If you are an employee of the Company or an Affiliate and such exercise occurs other
than in a Qualified Month, it shall be deemed exercised in the next Qualified Month.
5. No exercise shall be effective until you have made arrangements acceptable to the Company
and in accordance with the Plan to satisfy the aggregate Exercise Price and all applicable tax
withholding requirements of the Company, if any, with respect to such exercise.
6. None of the Options are transferable (by operation of law or otherwise) by you, other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If, in the event of your divorce, legal separation
or other dissolution of your marriage, your former spouse is awarded ownership of, or an interest
in, all or part of the Options granted hereby to you (the Awarded Options), (i) to the extent the
Awarded Options are not fully vested, the Awarded Options shall automatically and immediately be
forfeited and cancelled unexercised as of the original date of the award thereof and (ii) to the
extent the Awarded Options are fully vested, the Company, in its sole discretion, may at any time
thereafter, during the period in which the Awarded Options are exercisable under the terms of the
domestic relations order providing for the assignment, cancel the Awarded Options by delivering to
such former spouse Common Units having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the payment date equal to
the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Units subject to the Awarded Options
over their aggregate Exercise Price.
7. In the event you terminate employment with the Company and its Affiliates for any reason
(which termination is a separation from service under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code)
other than a Qualifying Termination, the Options, if fully vested, may be exercised by you (or, in
the event of your death, by the person to whom your rights shall pass by will or the laws of the
descent and distribution (Beneficiary)) only during the Qualified Month next following your
employment termination date. If you cease to be an active, full-time employee, as determined by
the Company in its sole discretion, without regard as to how your status is treated by the Company
for any of its other compensation or benefit plans or programs, you will be deemed to have
terminated employment with the Company and its Affiliates for purposes of this Agreement.
8. In the event of a Qualifying Termination or an unforeseeable emergency (as defined in
Section 409A) which is approved by the Company, the vested portion of the Options may be exercised
by you only during the Qualified Month next following such event. Notwithstanding the above, in the
event such Qualifying Termination is due to your death, the vested portion of the Options may be
exercised by your Beneficiary only during the second Qualified Month next following such event.
9. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer any right on you to continue
employment with any member of the Affiliated Group or restrict the Company or its Affiliates from
terminating your employment at any time. Unless you have a separate written employment agreement
with an Affiliated Group member, you are, and shall continue to be, an at will employee.
10. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Options shall not be
exercisable, and neither the Company nor the Partnership shall be obligated to deliver to you any
Common Units, if counsel to the Company determines such exercise or delivery, as the case may be,
would violate any law or regulation of any governmental authority or agreement between the Company
or the Partnership and any national securities exchange upon which the Common Units are listed or
any policy of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.
11. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if you give notice of exercise
within a quiet period, as provided in Addendum No. 1 hereto, the timing of the delivery
of Common Units pursuant to your exercise shall be governed by the terms of Addendum No. 1.
Further, neither the Company nor the Partnership shall
3
have any liability to you for any loss you may suffer (whether by a decrease in the value of the
Common Units, failure or inability to receive Partnership distributions or otherwise) from any
delay by the Company or the Partnership in delivering to you Common Units in connection with the
whole or partial exercise by you of the Options.
12. These Options are subject to the terms of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated by
reference as if set forth in its entirety herein, including, without limitation, the ability of the
Company, in its discretion, to accelerate the termination of the Option and to amend your Option
grant award without your approval. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement
and the Plan, the Plan shall be the controlling document. Capitalized terms that are used, but are
not defined, in this Option grant award have the respective meanings provided for in the Plan. The
Plan, as in effect on the Date of Grant, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

employment was initiated by you, is upon or after the occurrence of a Termination for Good Reason;
provided, however, that you terminate your employment with any Affiliated Group member (or any
successor) and its Affiliates within 120 days following the date on which you have actual notice of
the event that gives rise to the Termination for Good Reason.

deemed to exist based on (i) the facts that cause Duncans deemed control of the General Partner to
exist as of the date of this Agreement (which existing control is hereby recognized and agreed) or
(ii) Duncans direct or indirect power to exercise a controlling influence over either the
management or policies of the General Partner (as control and power are construed and used under

law, rule or regulation relating to a minor traffic violation or similar offense), or an act which
constitutes a breach by you of a fiduciary duty owed to any Affiliated Group member (or its
successor); or
(b) the commission by you of an act of dishonesty relating to the performance of your duties,
habitual unexcused absence(s) from work, willful failure to perform duties in any material respect
(other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness or
disability), or gross negligence in the performance of duties resulting in material damage or
injury to any Affiliated Group member (or its successor), its reputation or goodwill (provided,
however, that in the event of your willful failure to perform duties in any material respect, you

employment with the Company for purposes of the Plan. Unless you have a separate written employment
agreement with an Affiliated Group member, you are, and shall continue to be, an at will
employee.
6. To the extent that the grant or vesting of a Restricted Unit results in the receipt of
compensation by you with respect to which the Company or an Affiliate has a tax withholding
obligation pursuant to applicable law, unless you make other arrangements that are acceptable to
the Company or such Affiliate, you must deliver to the Company or the Affiliate such amount of
money as the Company or the Affiliate may require to meet its tax withholding obligations under
such applicable law. No issuance of an unrestricted Common Unit shall be made pursuant to this
Agreement until you have paid or made arrangements approved by the applicable member of the
Affiliated Group to satisfy in full any applicable tax withholding obligations pursuant to
applicable law. For purposes of this paragraph, unless you make other arrangements or are
subsequently notified to the contrary, applicable member of the Affiliated Group will satisfy your
obligations with respect to any applicable tax withholding by withholding from the issuance under
this Agreement a number of vested Common Units having a then-fair-market value equal to such tax
withholding obligations, based on the closing price per Common Unit as reported on the New York
Stock Exchange (or other principal stock exchange on which the Common Units are then listed) on the
date of vesting. The Committee has determined that it intends that the Plan meet the requirements
of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and that the transactions of the type specified in Rule 16b-3
by non-employee directors and by officers of the Company (whether or not they are directors)
pursuant to the Plan, including the foregoing net settlement procedure, will be exempt from the
operation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
7. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Company nor the
Partnership shall be obligated to deliver to you any unrestricted Common Units if counsel to the
Company
3
determines such delivery would violate any law or regulation of any governmental authority or
agreement between the Company or the Partnership and any national securities exchange upon which
the Common Units are listed or any policy of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.
8. These Restricted Units are subject to the terms of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated
by reference as if set forth in its entirety herein, including, without limitation, the ability of
the Company, in its discretion, to amend your Restricted Unit award without your approval. In the
event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall be the
controlling document. Capitalized terms that are used, but are not defined, in this Option grant
award have the respective meanings provided for in the Plan. The Plan, as in effect on the Date of

2. The Restricted Units will be evidenced, at the sole option and in the sole discretion of
the Partnership, either (i) in book-entry form in your name in the Common Unit register of the
Partnership maintained by the Partnerships transfer agent or (ii) a unit certificate issued in
your name. You shall have voting rights and shall be entitled to receive all distributions made by
the Partnership on such Restricted Units free and clear of any Restrictions.
3. To the extent that the grant or vesting of a Restricted Unit results in the receipt of
compensation by you with respect to which the Company or an Affiliate has a tax withholding
obligation pursuant to applicable law, unless you make other arrangements that are acceptable to
the Company or such Affiliate, you must deliver to the Company or the Affiliate such amount of
money as the Company or the Affiliate may require to meet its tax withholding obligations under
such applicable law. No issuance of an unrestricted Common Unit shall be made pursuant to this
Agreement until you have paid or made arrangements approved by the applicable member of the Company
or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the Affiliated Group) to satisfy in full any applicable
tax withholding obligations pursuant to applicable law. For purposes of this paragraph, unless you
make other arrangements or are subsequently notified to the contrary, applicable member of the
Affiliated Group will satisfy your obligations with respect to any applicable tax withholding by
withholding from the issuance under this Agreement a number of vested Common Units having a
then-fair-market value equal to such tax withholding obligations, based on the closing price per
Common Unit as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or other principal stock exchange on which
the Common Units are then listed) on the date of vesting. The Committee has determined that it
intends that the Plan meet the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and that the
transactions of the type specified in Rule 16b-3 by non-employee directors and by officers of the
Company (whether or not they are directors) pursuant to the Plan, including the foregoing net
settlement procedure, will be exempt from the operation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Company nor the
Partnership shall be obligated to deliver to you any unrestricted Common Units if counsel to the
Company determines such delivery would violate any law or regulation of any governmental authority
or agreement
1
between the Company or the Partnership and any national securities exchange upon which the
Common Units are listed or any policy of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.
5. These Restricted Units are subject to the terms of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated
by reference as if set forth in its entirety herein, including, without limitation, the ability of
the Company, in its discretion, to amend your Restricted Unit award without your approval. In the
event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall be the
controlling document. Capitalized terms that are used, but are not defined, in this Option grant
award have the respective meanings provided for in the Plan. The Plan, as in effect on the Date of
Grant, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
