TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION
Partnership Organization
TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (the Partnership), is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership
and our limited partner units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker
symbol TPP. As used in this Report, we, us, our, the Partnership and TEPPCO mean
TEPPCO Partners, L.P. and, where the context requires, include our subsidiaries. At formation in
March 1990, we completed an initial public offering of 26,500,000 units representing limited
partner interests (Limited Partner Units) at $10.00 per Limited Partner Unit (Unit).
Through June 29, 2007, we operated through TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership,
TCTM, L.P. (TCTM) and TEPPCO Midstream Companies, L.P. On June 30, 2007, TE Products Pipeline
Company, Limited Partnership and TEPPCO Midstream Companies, L.P. converted into Texas limited
partnerships and immediately thereafter merged into newly-formed Texas limited liability companies
that had no business operations prior to the merger. The resulting limited liability companies are
called TE Products Pipeline Company, LLC (TE Products) and TEPPCO Midstream Companies, LLC
(TEPPCO Midstream). As of June 30, 2007, we operate through TE Products, TCTM and TEPPCO
Midstream. Collectively, TE Products, TCTM and TEPPCO Midstream are referred to as the Operating
Companies. Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC (the General Partner), a Delaware
limited liability company, serves as our general partner and owns a 2% general partner interest in
us. We hold a 99.999% limited partner interest in TCTM and TEPPCO GP, Inc. (TEPPCO GP), a wholly
owned subsidiary, holds a 0.001% general partner interest in TCTM. We and TEPPCO GP hold 99.999%
and 0.001% membership interests, respectively, in TE Products and TEPPCO Midstream.
Through May 6, 2007, our General Partner was owned by DFI GP Holdings L.P. (DFI), an
affiliate of EPCO, Inc. (EPCO), a privately held company controlled by Dan L. Duncan. On May 7,
2007, DFI sold all of the membership interests in our General Partner to Enterprise GP Holdings
L.P. (Enterprise GP Holdings), a publicly traded partnership, also controlled indirectly by EPCO.
Mr. Duncan and certain of his affiliates, including EPCO, Enterprise GP Holdings and Dan Duncan
LLC, a privately held company controlled by him, control us, our General Partner and Enterprise
Products Partners L.P. (Enterprise) and its affiliates, including Duncan Energy Partners L.P. As
of May 7, 2007, Enterprise GP Holdings owns and controls the 2% general partner interest in us and
has the right to receive the incentive distribution rights associated with the general partner
interest. Enterprise GP Holdings, DFI and other entities controlled by Mr. Duncan own 16,691,550
of our Units. Under an amended and restated administrative services agreement (ASA), EPCO
performs all management, administrative and operating functions required for us, and we reimburse
EPCO for all direct and indirect expenses that have been incurred in managing us.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are,
in the opinion of our management, of a normal and recurring nature and necessary for a fair
statement of our financial position as of June 30, 2007, and the results of our operations and cash
flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of results of our operations for the full year
2007. You should read these interim financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto presented in the TEPPCO Partners, L.P. Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Except per Unit amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the
dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in
thousands of dollars.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 2. GENERAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED MATTERS
Business Segments
We operate and report in three business segments: transportation, marketing and storage of
refined products, liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs) and petrochemicals (Downstream Segment);
gathering, transportation, marketing and storage of crude oil and distribution of lubrication oils
and specialty chemicals (Upstream Segment); and gathering of natural gas, fractionation of
natural gas liquids (NGLs) and transportation of NGLs (Midstream Segment). Our reportable
segments offer different products and services and are managed separately because each requires
different business strategies.
Our interstate transportation operations, including rates charged to customers, are subject to
regulations prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). We refer to refined
products, LPGs, petrochemicals, crude oil, NGLs and natural gas in this Report, collectively, as
petroleum products or products.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes is applicable to our state tax obligations under the Texas Margin
Tax enacted in May 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded a $0.9 million
current tax liability and a $0.7 million reduction to deferred tax liability. The offsetting net
charge consisting of a reduction to deferred tax expense of $0.7 million and an increase in current
income tax expense of $0.9 million is shown on our statements of consolidated income for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 as provision for income taxes.
Net Income Per Unit
Basic net income per Unit is computed by dividing net income or loss, after deduction of the
General Partners interest, by the weighted average number of distribution-bearing Units
outstanding during a period. The General Partners percentage interest in our net income is based
on its percentage of cash distributions from Available Cash for each period (see Note 12). Diluted
net income per Unit is computed by dividing net income or loss, after deduction of the General
Partners interest, by the sum of (i) the weighted average number of distribution-bearing Units
outstanding during a period (as used in determining basic earnings per Unit); and (ii) the number
of incremental Units resulting from the assumed exercise of dilutive Unit options outstanding
during a period (the incremental option units) (see Note 15).
In a period of net operating losses, restricted Units and incremental option units are
excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per Unit due to their antidilutive effect. The
dilutive incremental option units are calculated using the treasury stock method, which assumes
that proceeds from the exercise of all in-the-money options at the end of each period are used to
repurchase Units at an average market value during the period. The amount of Units remaining after
the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.

TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
The General Partners percentage interest in our net income increases as cash distributions
paid per Unit increase above specified levels, in accordance with our Partnership Agreement. On
December 8, 2006, our Partnership Agreement was amended and restated, and our General partners
maximum percentage interest in our quarterly distributions was reduced from 50% to 25% in exchange
for 14.1 million Units. References in this Report to our Partnership Agreement are to our
partnership agreement in effect from time to time.
Recent Accounting Developments
In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus in EITF 06-3, How
Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the
Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation). The accounting guidance permits
companies to elect to present on either a gross or net basis sales and other taxes that are imposed
on and concurrent with individual revenue-producing transactions between a seller and a customer.
The gross basis includes the taxes in revenues and costs; the net basis excludes the taxes from
revenues. The accounting guidance does not apply to tax systems that are based on gross receipts or
total revenues. EITF 06-3 requires companies to disclose their policy for presenting the taxes and
disclose any amounts presented on a gross basis if those amounts are significant. The guidance in
EITF 06-3 is effective January 1, 2007. As a matter of policy, we report such taxes on a net
basis. The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No.
48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a
tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. First, an enterprise must determine
whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the
appropriate taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes,
based solely on the technical merits of the position. Second, a tax position that meets the more
likely than not recognition threshold is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to
recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of
benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provisions
of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and we were required to
adopt FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. All of our tax positions have met the more likely than not
threshold for recognition and no measurement adjustments were made to the financial statements as a
result of the adoption of FIN 48. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting
principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies only to
fair-value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is
expected to increase the consistency of those measurements. SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is
a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Companies will be required to disclose the
extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop
the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net
assets) for the period. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and we are required to adopt SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008. We believe that the adoption of SFAS
157 will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits
entities to choose
8
TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected would be
reported in net income. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements
designed to draw comparison between the different measurement attributes the company elects for
similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. We believe the adoption of SFAS 159 will not have a material effect on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
Our Downstream Segment revenues are earned from transportation, marketing and storage of
refined products and LPGs, intrastate transportation of petrochemicals, sale of product inventory
and other ancillary services. Transportation revenues are recognized as products are delivered to
customers. Storage revenues are recognized upon receipt of products into storage and upon
performance of storage services. Terminaling revenues are recognized as products are out-loaded.
Revenues from the sale of product inventory are recognized when the products are sold. Our refined
products marketing activities generate revenues by purchasing refined products from our throughput
partners and establishing a margin by selling refined products for physical delivery through spot
sales at the Aberdeen truck rack to independent wholesalers and retailers of refined products.
These purchases and sales are generally contracted to occur on the same day.
Our Upstream Segment revenues are earned from gathering, transporting, marketing and storing
crude oil, and distributing lubrication oils and specialty chemicals principally in Oklahoma,
Texas, New Mexico and the Rocky Mountain region. Revenues are also generated from trade
documentation and pumpover services, primarily at Cushing, Oklahoma, and Midland, Texas. Revenues
are accrued at the time title to the product sold transfers to the purchaser, which typically
occurs upon receipt of the product by the purchaser, and purchases are accrued at the time title to
the product purchased transfers to our crude oil marketing company, TEPPCO Crude Oil, LLC (TCO),
which typically occurs upon our receipt of the product. Revenues related to trade documentation
and pumpover fees are recognized as services are completed.
Except for crude oil purchased from time to time as inventory required for operations, our
policy is to purchase only crude oil for which we have a market to sell and to structure sales
contracts so that crude oil price fluctuations do not materially affect the margin received. As we
purchase crude oil, we establish a margin by selling crude oil for physical delivery to third party
users or by entering into a future delivery obligation. Through these transactions, we seek to
maintain a position that is balanced between crude oil purchases and sales and future delivery
obligations. However, commodity price risks cannot be completely hedged.
On April 1, 2006, we adopted EITF 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with
the Same Counterparty, which resulted in crude oil inventory purchases and sales under buy/sell
transactions, which were previously recorded as gross purchases and sales, to be treated as
inventory exchanges in our statements of consolidated income. EITF 04-13 reduced gross revenues
and purchases, but did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows. Under the consensus reached in EITF 04-13, buy/sell transactions are reported as
non-monetary exchanges and consequently not presented on a gross basis in our statements of
consolidated income. Implementation of EITF 04-13 reduced revenues and purchases of petroleum
products on our statements of consolidated income by approximately $699.7 million and $1,084.7
million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $313.7 million
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006. The revenues and purchases of petroleum
products associated with buy/sell transactions that are reported on a gross basis in our statement
of consolidated income in the six months ended June 30, 2006 are
approximately $275.4 million. Under the provisions of the consensus, retroactive restatement
of buy/sell transactions reported in prior periods was not permitted.

TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Our Midstream Segment revenues are earned from the gathering of natural gas, transportation of
NGLs and fractionation of NGLs. Gathering revenues are recognized as natural gas is received from
the customer. Transportation revenues are recognized as NGLs are delivered. Fractionation
revenues are recognized ratably over the contract year as products are delivered. We generally do
not take title to the natural gas gathered, NGLs transported or NGLs fractionated, with the
exception of inventory imbalances. Therefore, the results of our Midstream Segment are not
directly affected by changes in the prices of natural gas or NGLs.
NOTE 3. ACCOUNTING FOR UNIT-BASED AWARDS
We account for unit-based awards under the EPCO, Inc. 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan (2006
LTIP) using SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) requires us to recognize
compensation expense related to unit-based awards based on the fair value of the awards at grant date.
The fair value of a unit-based award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Under
SFAS 123(R), the fair value of an award is amortized to earnings on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service or vesting period. We account for awards under our 1999 Phantom Unit Retention
Plan, our 2000 Long Term Incentive Plan and our 2005 Phantom Unit Plan as liability awards under

1999 Phantom Unit Retention Plan
Effective January 1, 1999, the General Partner adopted the Texas Eastern Products Pipeline
Company, LLC 1999 Phantom Unit Retention Plan (1999 Plan) to provide key employees with incentive
awards whereby a participant is granted phantom units. These phantom units are automatically
redeemed for cash based on the vested portion of the fair market value of the phantom units at
stated redemption dates. The fair market value of each phantom unit is equal to the closing price
of a Unit as reported on the NYSE on the redemption date. Each participant is also entitled to
quarterly cash distributions equal to the product of the number of phantom units outstanding for
the participant and the amount of the cash distribution that we paid per Unit to our unitholders.
We accrue compensation expense annually based upon the terms of the 1999 Plan. A total of
31,600 phantom units remain outstanding at June 30, 2007, of which 13,000 vest April 11, 2008,
13,000 vest April 11, 2009 and 5,600 vest January 1, 2010. Compensation expense related to the
1999 Plan was $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had accrued liability balances of $1.0
million and $0.8 million, respectively, for compensation related to the 1999 Plan.
2000 Long Term Incentive Plan
Effective January 1, 2000, our General Partner established the Texas Eastern Products Pipeline
Company, LLC 2000 Long Term Incentive Plan (2000 LTIP) to provide key employees incentives to
achieve improvements in our financial performance. Generally, upon the close of a three-year
performance period, if the participant is then still an employee of EPCO, the participant will
receive a cash payment calculated in accordance with the terms of the 2000 LTIP, which are based
on: (i) the applicable performance percentage specified in the award, (ii) the number of phantom
units granted under the award and (iii) the average of the closing prices of a Unit over the ten
consecutive trading days immediately preceding the last day of the performance period.
In addition to the payment described above, during the performance period, the General Partner
will pay to the participant the amount of cash distributions that we would have paid to our
unitholders had the participant been the owner of the number of Units equal to the number of
phantom units granted to the participant under this award.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
We accrue compensation expense annually
based upon the terms of the 2000 LTIP. At June 30, 2007, phantom units outstanding under the 2000
LTIP were 11,300 and 8,400 for awards granted for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. Compensation expense related to the 2000 LTIP was $0.1 million for each of the three
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and $0.3 million for each of the six months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had accrued liability balances of $0.9
million and $0.6 million, respectively, for compensation related to the 2000 LTIP.
2005 Phantom Unit Plan
Effective January 1, 2005, our General Partner adopted the Texas Eastern Products Pipeline
Company, LLC 2005 Phantom Unit Plan (2005 Phantom Unit Plan) to provide key employees incentives
to achieve improvements in our financial performance. Generally, upon the close of a three-year
performance period, if the participant is then still an employee of EPCO, the participant will
receive a cash payment calculated in accordance with the terms of the 2005 Phantom Unit Plan, which
are based on: (i) the grantees vested percentage, (ii) the number of phantom units granted under
the award and (iii) the average of the closing prices of a Unit over the ten consecutive trading
days immediately preceding the last day of the performance period. At June 30, 2007, phantom units
outstanding for awards granted for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, were 38,200 and
39,000, respectively.
In addition to the payment described above, during the performance period, the General Partner
will pay to the participant the amount of cash distributions that we would have paid to our
unitholders had the participant been the owner of the number of Units equal to the number of
phantom units granted to the participant under this award. We accrue compensation expense annually
based upon the terms of the 2005 Phantom Unit Plan. Compensation expense related to the 2005
Phantom Unit Plan was $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively, and $0.5 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. At
June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had accrued liability balances of $2.2 million and $1.6
million, respectively, for compensation related to the 2005 Phantom Unit Plan.
EPCO, Inc. 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan
At a special meeting of our unitholders on December 8, 2006, our unitholders approved the 2006
LTIP, which provides for awards of our Units and other rights to our non-employee directors and to
employees of EPCO and its affiliates providing services to us. Awards under the 2006 LTIP may be
granted in the form of restricted units, phantom units, unit options, unit appreciation rights and
distribution equivalent rights. The exercise price of unit options or unit appreciation rights
awarded to participants is determined by the Audit, Conflicts and Governance Committee of the board
of directors of our General Partner (ACG Committee) (at its discretion) at the date of grant and
may be no less than the fair market value of the option award as of the date of grant. The 2006
LTIP is administered by the ACG Committee. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2006 LTIP,
awards with respect to up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 Units may be granted under the 2006 LTIP.
We reimburse EPCO for the costs allocable to 2006 LTIP awards made to employees who work in our
business. On April 30, 2007 and May 2, 2007, the non-employee directors of our General Partner
were awarded 1,647 phantom units which payout in 2011 and 66,225 unit appreciation rights, which
vest in 2012. On May 22, 2007, we granted 155,000 Unit options, 62,900 restricted Units and
338,479 unit appreciation rights to our employees, which vest in 2011, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
The 2006 LTIP may be amended or terminated at any time by the board of directors of EPCO,
which is the indirect parent company of our General Partner, or the ACG Committee; however, any
material amendment, such as a
material increase in the number of Units available under the plan or a change in the types of
awards available under the plan, would require the approval of at least 50% of our unitholders.
The ACG Committee is also
11

authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the
criteria included in awards under the 2006 LTIP in specified circumstances. The 2006 LTIP is
effective until December 8, 2016 or, if earlier, the time which all available Units under the 2006
LTIP have been delivered to participants or the time of termination of the 2006 LTIP by EPCO or the
ACG Committee. After giving effect to outstanding Unit options and restricted Units at June 30,
2007, a total of 4,782,600 additional Units could be issued under the 2006 LTIP.

The total grant date fair value of these awards was $0.4 million based on the following
assumptions: (i) expected life of option of 7 years, (ii) risk-free interest rate of
4.78%; (iii) expected distribution yield on Units of 7.92%; and (iv) expected Unit price
volatility on Units of 18.03%. |
We recognized $0.01 million of compensation expense associated with Unit options during
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, total unrecognized
compensation cost related to nonvested Unit options granted under the 2006 LTIP was an estimated

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
None of our restricted Units vested during the six months ended June 30, 2007. During
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized $0.1 million of compensation
expense in connection with restricted Units. At June 30, 2007, total unrecognized compensation
cost related to restricted Units was $2.3 million, and these costs are expected to be recognized
over a weighted-average period of 3.9 years.
Unit Appreciation Rights and Phantom Units
On April 30, 2007, the non-executive members of the board of directors were each awarded 549
phantom units under the 2006 LTIP. Each phantom unit will pay out in cash on April 30, 2011 or, if
earlier, the date the director is no longer serving on the board, whether by voluntarily
resignation or otherwise, and at such time each such phantom unit will receive the amount of cash
distributions that we would have paid to our unitholders had the participant been the owner of the
number of Units equal to the number of phantom units granted to the participant under this award.
Phantom unit awards to non-employee directors are accounted for similar to SFAS 123(R) liability
awards. We recognized a nominal amount of expense related to the phantom units during the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2007.
On May 2, 2007, the non-executive members of the board of directors were each awarded 22,075
unit appreciation rights under the 2006 LTIP. The unit appreciation rights will be subject to five
year cliff vesting and will vest earlier if the director dies or is removed from, or not re-elected
or appointed to, the board for reasons other than his voluntary resignation or unwillingness to
serve. When the unit appreciation rights become payable, the director will receive a payment in
cash (or, in the sole discretion of the ACG Committee, Units or a combination of cash and Units)
equal to the fair market value of the Units subject to the unit appreciation rights on the payment
date over the fair market value of the Units subject to the unit appreciation rights on the date of
grant.
On May 22, 2007, we awarded 338,479 unit appreciation rights to our employees. The unit
appreciation rights are subject to five year cliff vesting and are subject to forfeiture. When the
unit appreciation rights become payable, the awards will be redeemed in cash (or, in the sole
discretion of the ACG Committee, Units or a combination of cash and Units) equal to the fair market
value of the Units on the payment date over the fair market value of the Units on the date of
grant. Unit appreciation rights awarded to employees are accounted for as liability awards under
SFAS 123(R) since the current intent is to cash-settle the awards. Unit appreciation rights
awarded to non-employee directors are accounted for similar to SFAS 123(R) liability awards. We
recognized $0.02 million of compensation expense associated with the unit appreciation rights
during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007.
NOTE 4. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The TEPPCO Retirement Cash Balance Plan (TEPPCO RCBP) was a non-contributory,
trustee-administered pension plan. The benefit formula for all eligible employees was a cash
balance formula. Under a cash balance formula, a plan participant accumulated a retirement benefit
based upon pay credits and current interest credits. The pay credits were based on a participants
salary, age and service. We used a December 31 measurement date for this plan.
Effective May 31, 2005, participation in the TEPPCO RCBP was frozen, and no new participants
were eligible to be covered by the plan after that date. Effective June 1, 2005, EPCO adopted the
TEPPCO RCBP for the benefit of its employees providing services to us. Effective December 31,
2005, all plan benefits accrued were frozen,
participants received no additional pay credits after that date, and all plan participants
were 100% vested regardless of their years of service. The TEPPCO RCBP plan was terminated
effective December 31, 2005, and plan participants had the option to receive their benefits either
through a lump sum payment in 2006 or through an

annuity. In April 2006, we received a
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) providing IRS approval of the plan
termination. For those plan participants who elected to receive an annuity, we purchased an
annuity contract from an insurance company in which the plan participants own the annuity,
absolving us of any future obligation to the participants.
In the fourth quarter of 2006, we recorded settlement charges of approximately $3.5 million in
accordance with SFAS No. 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined
Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, relating to the TEPPCO RCBP for any existing
unrecognized losses upon the plan termination and final distribution of the assets to the plan
participants. At June 30, 2007, $0.3 million of the TEPPCO RCBP plan assets had not been
distributed to plan participants. We do not expect to make further contributions to the TEPPCO RCBP
in 2007.
EPCO maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of employees providing services to us, and we
reimburse EPCO for the cost of maintaining this plan in accordance with the ASA.
NOTE 5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS INTEREST RATE SWAPS
In October 2001, TE Products entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge its
exposure to changes in the fair value of its fixed rate 7.51% Senior Notes due 2028. We designated
this swap agreement as a fair value hedge. The swap agreement has a notional amount of $210.0
million and matures in January 2028 to match the principal and maturity of the TE Products Senior
Notes. Under the swap agreement, TE Products pays a floating rate of interest based on a
three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate, plus a spread of 147 basis points, and receives a fixed rate of
interest of 7.51%. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized reductions in
interest expense of $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, related to the difference between
the fixed rate and the floating rate of interest on the interest rate swap. During the quarters
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we reviewed the hedge effectiveness of this interest rate swap and
noted that no gain or loss from ineffectiveness was required to be recognized. The fair values of
this interest rate swap were liabilities of approximately $9.3 million and $2.6 million at June 30,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
During 2002, we entered into interest rate swap agreements, designated as fair value hedges,
to hedge our exposure to changes in the fair value of our fixed rate 7.625% Senior Notes due 2012.
The swap agreements had a combined notional amount of $500.0 million and matured in 2012 to match
the principal and maturity of the 7.625% Senior Notes. Under the swap agreements, we paid a
floating rate of interest based on a U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate, plus a spread, and received a fixed
rate of interest of 7.625%. These swap agreements were later terminated in 2002 resulting in gains
of $44.9 million. The gains realized from the swap terminations have been deferred as adjustments
to the carrying value of the 7.625% Senior Notes and are being amortized using the effective
interest method as reductions to future interest expense over the remaining term of the 7.625%
Senior Notes. At June 30, 2007, the unamortized balance of the deferred gains was $25.6 million.
In the event of early extinguishment of the 7.625% Senior Notes, any remaining unamortized gains
would be recognized in the consolidated statement of income at the time of extinguishment.
On January 20, 2006, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with a total notional
amount of $200.0 million to hedge our exposure to increases in the benchmark interest rate
underlying our variable rate revolving credit facility. These interest rate swaps mature in
January 2008. Under the swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate of interest
ranging from 4.67% to 4.695% and receive a floating rate based on a three-month U.S. Dollar
LIBOR rate. In the third quarter of 2006, these swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. For
the period from January 20, 2006 through the date these swaps were designated as cash flow hedges,
changes in the fair value of the swaps were recognized in earnings, which resulted in a $2.2
million reduction to interest expense. While these interest rate swaps remain in effect, future
changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges, to the extent the swaps
14
TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
are effective, will be
recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged interest costs are recognized in
earnings. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the fair values of these interest rate swaps
were assets of $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. These interest rate swaps were
de-designated as cash flow hedges on June 30, 2007.
In October 2006 and February 2007, we executed a series of treasury rate lock agreements that
extended through June 2007 for a notional amount totaling $300.0 million. These agreements, which
were derivative instruments, were designated as cash flow hedges to offset our exposure to
increases in the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate that was used to establish the fixed
interest rate for debt that we issued in May 2007. In May 2007, these treasury locks were
terminated concurrent with the issuance of junior subordinated notes (see Note 11). The termination
of the treasury locks resulted in gains of $1.4 million and was recorded in other comprehensive
income. These gains are being amortized using the effective interest method as reductions to
future interest expense over the fixed rate term of the junior subordinated notes, which is ten
years. The weighted average rate under the treasury lock agreements was approximately 4.6%. The
actual coupon rate of the debt issuance was comprised of the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark
rate, plus a credit spread premium for our debt security. In the event of early extinguishment of
the junior subordinated notes, any remaining unamortized gains would be recognized in the
consolidated statement of income at the time of extinguishment.
In June 2007, we executed a forward treasury rate lock agreement that extends through January
31, 2008 for a notional amount of $50.0 million. This agreement, which is a derivative instrument,
has been designated as a cash flow hedge to offset our exposure to increases in the underlying U.S.
Treasury benchmark rate that is expected to be used to establish the fixed interest rate for debt
that we expect to incur in 2008. The rate under the treasury lock agreement was 5.112%. The
actual coupon rate of the expected debt will be comprised of the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark
rate, plus a credit spread premium at the date of issuance. At June 30, 2007, the fair value of
the treasury lock was a liability of $0.2 million. To the extent effective, gains and losses on
the value of the treasury lock will be deferred until the forecasted debt is issued and will be
amortized to earnings over the life of the debt. No ineffectiveness was recognized as of June 30,
2007.

Seaway
Through one of our indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, we own a 50% ownership interest in
Seaway. The remaining 50% interest is owned by ConocoPhillips. We operate and commercially manage
the Seaway assets. Seaway owns pipelines that carry imported, offshore and domestic onshore crude
oil from a marine terminal at Freeport, Texas, to Cushing, Oklahoma, and from a marine terminal at
Texas City, Texas, to refineries in the Texas City and Houston, Texas, areas. The Seaway Crude
Pipeline Company Partnership Agreement provides for varying participation ratios throughout the
life of Seaway. Our sharing ratio (including the amount of distributions we receive) changed from
60% to 40% on March 12, 2006, and as such, our share of revenue and expense of Seaway was 47% for
2006. Thereafter, we receive 40% of revenue and expense (and distributions) of Seaway. During the
six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we received distributions from Seaway of $7.4 million and
$8.5 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we did not invest
any additional funds in Seaway.
Centennial
TE Products owns a 50% ownership interest in Centennial, and Marathon Petroleum Company LLC
(Marathon) owns the remaining 50% interest. Centennial owns an interstate refined petroleum
products pipeline extending from the upper Texas Gulf Coast to central Illinois. During the six
months ended June 30, 2007, TE Products contributed $11.1 million to Centennial, of which $6.1
million was for contractual obligations that were created upon formation of Centennial and $5.0
million was for debt service requirements. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, TE Products
contributed $2.5 million to Centennial. TE Products has received no cash distributions from
Centennial since its formation.
MB Storage
Through February 28, 2007, TE Products owned a 49.5% ownership interest in MB Storage and a
50% ownership interest in Mont Belvieu Venture, LLC (the general partner of MB Storage), and Louis
Dreyfus Energy Services L.P. (Louis Dreyfus) owned the remaining interests. On March 1, 2007, TE
Products sold its ownership interests in MB Storage and its general partner to Louis Dreyfus (see
Note 9). MB Storage owns storage capacity at the Mont Belvieu fractionation and storage complex
and a short haul transportation shuttle system that ties Mont Belvieu, Texas, to the upper Texas
Gulf Coast energy marketplace. MB Storage is a service-oriented, fee-based venture serving the
fractionation, refining and petrochemical industries with substantial capacity and flexibility for

the transportation, terminaling and storage of NGLs, LPGs and refined products. TE Products
operated the facilities for MB Storage through February 28, 2007.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, TE Products received the first $1.7 million per quarter
(or $6.78 million on an annual basis) of MB Storages income before depreciation expense, as
defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership of MB Storage. Any amount of MB Storages 2006
income before depreciation expense in excess of $6.78 million was allocated evenly between TE
Products and Louis Dreyfus. Depreciation expense on assets each party originally contributed to MB
Storage was allocated between TE Products and Louis Dreyfus based on the net book value of the
assets contributed. Depreciation expense on assets constructed or acquired by MB Storage
subsequent to formation was allocated evenly between TE Products and Louis Dreyfus. For the period
from January 1, 2007 through February 28, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2006, TE
Products sharing ratio in the earnings of MB Storage was approximately 56.0% and 61.4%,
respectively. During the period from January 1, 2007 through February 28, 2007, TE Products
received distributions from MB Storage of $10.4 million, and made no contributions to MB Storage.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, TE Products received distributions from MB Storage of
$7.8 million and contributed $1.7 million to MB Storage.
Jonah
On August 1, 2006, Enterprise, through its affiliate, Enterprise Gas Processing, LLC, became
our joint venture partner by acquiring an interest in Jonah, the partnership through which we have
owned our interest in the Jonah system. Prior to entering into the Jonah joint venture, Enterprise
had managed the construction of the Phase V expansion and funded the initial costs under a letter
of intent we entered into in February 2006. In connection with the joint venture arrangement, we
and Enterprise plan to continue the Phase V expansion, which is expected to increase the system
capacity of the Jonah system from 1.5 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per day to approximately 2.3 Bcf
per day and to significantly reduce system operating pressures, which is anticipated to lead to
increased production rates and ultimate reserve recoveries. The first portion of the expansion,
which is expected to increase the system gathering capacity to approximately 2.0 Bcf per day, was
completed in July 2007. The second portion of the expansion is expected to be completed during the
first quarter of 2008. We expect to reimburse Enterprise for our share of the Phase V expansion
costs. To the extent the costs exceed an agreed upon base cost estimate of $415.2 million, we and
Enterprise will each pay our respective ownership share (approximately 80% and 20%, respectively)
of the expansion costs that exceed the agreed upon base cost estimate.
Enterprise manages the Phase V construction project. From August 1, 2006, we and Enterprise
have equally shared the costs of the Phase V expansion. Through June 30, 2007, we have reimbursed
Enterprise $180.5 million for 50% of the Phase V cost incurred by it (including its cost of capital
of $1.3 million). At June 30, 2007, we had a payable to Enterprise for costs incurred of $10.9
million. During the fourth quarter of 2006, certain sections of new Phase V expansion pipe were
commissioned and placed in service. Since December 2006, Enterprise has shared in the incremental
cash flow resulting from the operation of those new facilities. After subsequent construction
milestones are achieved, we and Enterprise will share partnership cash distributions and earnings
based on a formula that takes into account the capital contributions of the parties, including
expenditures by us prior to the expansion. Based on this formula in the partnership agreement, we
will ultimately retain ownership of an approximate 80% interest in Jonah, with Enterprise owning
the remaining 20% and serving as operator, with further costs and cash distributions being
allocated based on such ownership interests. At June 30, 2007, our ownership interest in Jonah and
our sharing ratio in the earnings of Jonah was 95.3%. During the six months ended June 30, 2007,
we received distributions from Jonah of $50.4 million, which included $11.6 million of
distributions declared in 2006 and paid during the first quarter of 2007. During the six months
ended June 30, 2007, we contributed $86.2 million to Jonah. The joint venture is governed by a
management committee comprised of two representatives approved by Enterprise and two
representatives approved
by us, each with equal voting power. The formation of the joint venture was reviewed and
recommended for approval by the ACG Committee.

NOTE 9. DISPOSITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Dispositions
MB Storage
On March 1, 2007, TE Products sold its 49.5% ownership interest in MB Storage, its 50%
ownership interest in Mont Belvieu Venture, LLC (the general partner of MB Storage) and other
related assets to Louis Dreyfus for a total of approximately $156.1 million in cash, which includes
approximately $18.5 million for other TE Products assets. This sale was in compliance with the
October 2006 order and consent agreement with the Bureau of Competition of the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) and was completed in accordance with the terms and conditions approved by the
FTC in February 2007. We expect to use the proceeds from the transaction to partially fund our
2007 portion of the Jonah Phase V expansion and other recently announced organic growth projects.
We recognized gains of approximately $59.6 million and $13.2 million related to the sale of our
equity interests and other related assets of TE Products, respectively, which are included in gain
on sale of ownership interest in MB Storage and gain on the sale of assets, respectively, in our
statements of consolidated income.
In accordance with a transition services agreement between TE Products and Louis Dreyfus
effective as of March 1, 2007, TE Products will provide certain administrative services to MB
Storage for a period of up to two years after the sale, for a fee equal to 110% of the direct
costs and expenses TE Products and its affiliates incur to provide the transition services to MB
Storage. Payments for these services will be made according to the terms specified in the
transition services agreement.
Other Refined Products Assets
On January 23, 2007, we sold a 10-mile, 18-inch segment of pipeline to an affiliate of
Enterprise for approximately $8.0 million in cash. These assets were part of our Downstream
Segment and had a net book value of approximately $2.5 million. The sales proceeds were used to
fund construction of a replacement pipeline in the area, in which the new pipeline provides greater
operational capability and flexibility. We recognized a gain of approximately $5.5 million on this
transaction, which is included in gain on sale of assets in our statements of consolidated income.
Discontinued operations
Pioneer Plant
On March 31, 2006, we sold our ownership interest in the Pioneer silica gel natural gas
processing plant located near Opal, Wyoming, together with Jonahs rights to process natural gas
originating from the Jonah and Pinedale fields, located in southwest Wyoming, to an affiliate of
Enterprise for $38.0 million in cash. The Pioneer plant was not an integral part of our Midstream
Segment operations, and natural gas processing is not a core business for us. We have no
continuing involvement in the operations or results of this plant. This transaction was reviewed
and recommended for approval by the ACG Committee and a fairness opinion was rendered by an
investment banking firm. The sales proceeds were used to fund organic growth projects, retire debt
and for other general partnership purposes. The carrying value of the Pioneer plant at March 31,
2006, prior to the sale, was $19.7 million. Costs associated with the completion of the
transaction were approximately $0.4 million.

SFAS 142 requires that intangible assets with finite useful lives be amortized over their
respective estimated useful lives. If an intangible asset has a finite useful life, but the
precise length of that life is not known, that intangible asset shall be amortized over the best
estimate of its useful life. At a minimum, we will assess the useful lives and residual values of
all intangible assets on an annual basis to determine if adjustments are required. Amortization
expense on intangible assets was $5.9 million and $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively, and $11.8 million and $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense on excess investments included in equity
earnings was $1.2 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, and $2.0 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
The values assigned to our intangible assets for natural gas gathering contracts on the Val
Verde Gas Gathering Company, L.P. (Val Verde) system are amortized on a unit-of-production basis,
based upon the actual throughput of the systems compared to the expected total throughput for the
lives of the contracts. From time to time, we may obtain limited production forecasts and updated
throughput estimates from some of the producers on the system, and as a result, we evaluate the
remaining expected useful lives of the contract assets based on the best available information.
Revisions to these estimates may occur as additional production information is made available to
us.
The values assigned to our fractionation agreement and other intangible assets are generally
amortized on a straight-line basis. Our fractionation agreement is being amortized over its
contract period of 20 years. The amortization periods for our other intangible assets, which
include non-compete and other agreements, range from 3 years to 15 years. The value of $8.5
million assigned to our crude supply and transportation intangible customer contracts is being
amortized on a unit-of-production basis.
The value assigned to our excess investment in Centennial was created upon its formation.
Approximately $30.0 million is related to a contract and is being amortized on a unit-of-production
basis based upon the volumes transported under the contract compared to the guaranteed total
throughput of the contract over a 10-year life. The

remaining $3.4 million is related to a
pipeline and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the pipeline, which is 35
years. The value assigned to our excess investment in Seaway was created upon acquisition of our
50% ownership interest in 2000. We are amortizing the excess investment in Seaway on a
straight-line basis over a 39-year life related primarily to the life of the pipeline. The value
assigned to our excess investment in Jonah was created as a result of interest capitalized on the
construction of Jonahs Phase V expansion. We will continue to capitalize interest on the
construction of the expansion of the Jonah system until the construction is completed and placed
into service. As portions of the expansion are placed into service, we will amortize the excess
investment in Jonah on a straight-line basis over the life of the assets constructed.
The following table sets forth the estimated amortization expense of intangible assets and the
estimated amortization expense allocated to equity earnings for the years ending December 31:

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. We
account for goodwill under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which was issued by
the FASB in July 2001. SFAS 142 prohibits amortization of goodwill, but instead requires testing
for impairment at least annually. We test goodwill for impairment annually at December 31.
To perform an impairment test of goodwill, we have identified our reporting units and have
determined the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities,
including the existing goodwill, to those reporting units. We then determine the fair value of
each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit. We will continue
to compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value on an annual basis to
determine if an impairment loss has occurred. There have been no goodwill impairment losses
recorded since the adoption of SFAS 142.
The following table presents the carrying amount of goodwill at both June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, by business segment:

In accordance with SFAS No. 6, Classification of Short-Term Obligations Expected to be
Refinanced, long-term debt reflects the classification of short-term obligations at June 30,
2007 as long-term. With respect to the 6.45% TE Products Senior Notes due in January 2008,
we have the ability to use available credit capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility to
fund the repayment of these Senior Notes. |
Revolving Credit Facility
We have in place a $700.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, including the issuance
of letters of credit (Revolving Credit Facility), which matures on December 13, 2011. We may
request up to two one-year extensions of the maturity date, subject to lender approval and
satisfaction of certain other conditions. Commitments under the credit facility may be increased
up to a maximum of $850.0 million upon our request, subject to lender approval and the satisfaction
of certain other conditions. The interest rate is based, at our option, on either the lenders
base rate plus a spread, or LIBOR plus a spread in effect at the time of the borrowings. Financial
covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility require that we maintain a ratio of Consolidated Funded
Debt to Pro Forma EBITDA (as defined and calculated in the facility) of less than 4.75 to 1.00
(subject to adjustment for specified acquisitions) and a ratio of EBITDA to Interest Expense (as
defined and calculated in the facility) of at least 3.00 to 1.00, in each case with respect to
specified twelve month periods. Other restrictive covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility limit
our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make distributions in excess of
Available Cash (see Note 12), incur liens, engage in specified transactions with affiliates and
complete mergers, acquisitions and sales of assets. The credit agreement restricts the amount of
outstanding debt of the Jonah joint venture to debt owing to the owners of its partnership
interests and other third-party debt in the principal aggregate amount of $50.0 million and allows
for the issuance of certain hybrid securities of up to 15% of our Consolidated Total Capitalization
(as defined therein). In May 2007, we repaid approximately $295.0 million of the then outstanding
balance of the Revolving Credit Facility with proceeds received from the issuance of junior
subordinated notes. At June 30, 2007, $200.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Credit
Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 5.86%. At June 30, 2007, we were in compliance
with the covenants of the Revolving Credit Facility.

On January 27, 1998, TE Products issued $180.0 million principal amount of 6.45% Senior Notes
due 2008, and $210.0 million principal amount of 7.51% Senior Notes due 2028 (collectively the TE
Products Senior Notes). The 6.45% TE Products Senior Notes were issued at a discount of $0.3
million and are being accreted to their face value over the term of the notes. The 6.45% TE
Products Senior Notes due 2008 may not be redeemed prior to their maturity on January 15, 2008.
The 7.51% TE Products Senior Notes due 2028, issued at par, may be redeemed at any time after

The TE Products Senior Notes do not have sinking fund requirements. Interest on the TE
Products Senior Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year.
The TE Products Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of TE Products and rank pari passu with all
other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of TE Products. The indenture governing the TE
Products Senior Notes contains covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants limiting the
creation of liens securing indebtedness and sale and leaseback transactions. However, the
indenture does not limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. At June 30, 2007, TE
Products was in compliance with the covenants of the TE Products Senior Notes.
On February 20, 2002, we issued $500.0 million principal amount of 7.625% Senior Notes due
2012. The 7.625% Senior Notes were issued at a discount of $2.2 million and are being accreted to
their face value over the term of the notes. The Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time at our
option with the payment of accrued interest and a make-whole premium determined by discounting
remaining interest and principal payments using a discount rate equal to the rate of the United
States Treasury securities of comparable remaining maturity plus 35 basis points. The indenture
governing our 7.625% Senior Notes contains covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants
limiting the creation of liens securing indebtedness and sale and leaseback transactions. However,
the indenture does not limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. At June 30, 2007, we
were in compliance with the covenants of these Senior Notes.
On January 30, 2003, we issued $200.0 million principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due
2013. The 6.125% Senior Notes were issued at a discount of $1.4 million and are being accreted to
their face value over the term of the notes. The Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time at our
option with the payment of accrued interest and a make-whole premium determined by discounting
remaining interest and principal payments using a discount rate equal to the rate of the United
States Treasury securities of comparable remaining maturity plus 35 basis points. The indenture
governing our 6.125% Senior Notes contains covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants

Junior Subordinated Notes
In May 2007, we issued and sold $300.0 million in principal amount of fixed/floating,
unsecured, long-term subordinated notes due June 1, 2067 (Junior Subordinated Notes). We used
the proceeds from this subordinated debt to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under our
Revolving Credit Facility and for general partnership purposes. Our payment obligations under the
Junior Subordinated Notes are subordinated to all of our current and future senior indebtedness (as
defined in the related indenture). TE Products, TEPPCO Midstream, TCTM and Val Verde
(collectively, the Subsidiary Guarantors) have jointly and severally guaranteed, on a junior
subordinated basis, payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Junior
Subordinated Notes.
The indenture governing the Junior Subordinated Notes does not limit our ability to incur
additional debt, including debt that ranks senior to or equally with the Junior Subordinated Notes.
The indenture allows us to defer interest payments on one or more occasions for up to ten
consecutive years, subject to certain conditions. The indenture also provides that during any
period in which we defer interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes, subject to certain
exceptions, (i) we cannot declare or make any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase or
make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of our equity securities; (ii) neither we nor the
Subsidiary Guarantors will make, and we and the Subsidiary Guarantors will cause our respective
majority-owned subsidiaries not to make, any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, on
or repay, purchase or redeem any of our or the Subsidiary Guarantors debt securities (including
securities similar to the Junior Subordinated Notes) that contractually rank equally with or junior
to the Junior Subordinated Notes or the guarantees, as applicable; and (iii) neither we nor the
Subsidiary Guarantors will make, and we and the Subsidiary Guarantors will cause our respective
majority-owned subsidiaries not to make, any payments under a guarantee of debt securities
(including under a guarantee of debt securities that are similar to the Junior Subordinated Notes)
that contractually ranks equally with or junior to the Junior Subordinated Notes or the guarantees,
as applicable.
The Junior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 7.000% from May 2007 to
June 1, 2017, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing
December 1, 2007. After June 1, 2017, the Junior Subordinated Notes will bear interest at a
variable annual rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR rate for the related interest period plus 2.7775%,
payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year commencing
September 1, 2017. Interest payments may be deferred on a cumulative basis for up to ten
consecutive years, subject to certain provisions. Deferred interest will accumulate additional
interest at the then-prevailing interest rate on the Junior Subordinated Notes. The Junior
Subordinated Notes mature in June 2067. The Junior Subordinated Notes are redeemable in whole or
in part prior to June 1, 2017 for a make-whole redemption price and thereafter at a redemption
price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest. The Junior Subordinated Notes
are also redeemable prior to June 1, 2017 in whole (but not in part) upon the occurrence of certain
tax or rating agency events at specified redemption prices.
In connection with the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes, we and our Subsidiary
Guarantors entered into a replacement capital covenant in favor of holders of a designated series
of senior long-term indebtedness (as provided in the underlying documents) pursuant to which we and
our Subsidiary Guarantors agreed for the benefit of such debt holders that we would not redeem or
repurchase or otherwise satisfy, discharge or defease any of the Junior Subordinated Notes on or
before June 1, 2037, unless, subject to certain limitations, during the 180 days prior to the date
of that redemption, repurchase, defeasance or purchase, we have or one of our subsidiaries has
received a specified amount of proceeds from the sale of qualifying securities that have
characteristics that are the same as, or more equity-like than, the applicable characteristics of
the Junior Subordinated Notes. The replacement capital covenant is not a term of the indenture or
the Junior Subordinated Notes.

The 2007 amount includes $19.2 million of distributions paid to affiliates of our
General Partner in respect of the 14.1 million Units we issued in December 2006. |
On August 7, 2007, we will pay a cash distribution of $0.685 per Unit for the quarter
ended June 30, 2007. The second quarter 2007 cash distribution will total approximately $73.6
million.
EPCO, Inc. TPP Employee Unit Purchase Plan
At a special meeting of our unitholders on December 8, 2006, our unitholders approved the
EPCO, Inc. TPP Employee Unit Purchase Plan (the Unit Purchase Plan), which provides for
discounted purchases of our Units by employees of EPCO and its affiliates. Generally, any employee
who (1) has been employed by EPCO or any of its designated affiliates for three consecutive months,
(2) is a regular, active and full time employee and (3) is scheduled to work at least 30 hours per
week is eligible to participate in the Unit Purchase Plan, provided that employees covered by
collective bargaining agreements (unless otherwise specified therein) and 5% owners of us, EPCO or
any affiliate are not eligible to participate.
A maximum of 1,000,000 Units may be delivered under the Unit Purchase Plan (subject to
adjustment as provided in the plan). Units to be delivered under the plan may be acquired by the
custodian of the plan in the open market or directly from us, EPCO, any of EPCOs affiliates or any
other person; however, it is generally intended that Units are to be acquired from us. Eligible
employees may elect to have a designated whole percentage (ranging from 1% to 10%) of their
eligible compensation for each pay period withheld for the purchase of Units under the plan. EPCO
and its affiliated employers will periodically remit to the custodian the withheld amounts,
together with an additional amount by which EPCO will bear approximately 10% of the cost of the
Units for the benefit of the participants. Unit purchases will be made following three month
purchase periods over which the withheld amounts are to be accumulated. We reimburse EPCO for all
such costs allocated to employees who work in our business.
The plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of EPCO.
The Unit Purchase Plan may be amended or terminated at any time by the board of directors of EPCO,
or the Chairman of the Board or Vice Chairman of the Board of EPCO; however, any material
amendment, such as a material increase in the number of Units available under the plan or an
increase in the employee discount amount, would also require the approval of at least 50% of our
unitholders. The Unit Purchase Plan is effective until December 8, 2016, or, if earlier, at the
time that all available Units under the plan have been purchased on behalf of the participants or
the time of termination of the plan by EPCO or the Chairman or Vice Chairman of EPCO. As of June
30, 2007, no Units have been issued to employees under this plan.

General Partners Interest
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had deficit balances of $78.9 million and $85.7
million, respectively, in our General Partners equity account. These negative balances do not
represent assets to us and do not represent obligations of the General Partner to contribute cash
or other property to us. The General Partners equity account generally consists of its cumulative
share of our net income less cash distributions made to it plus capital contributions that it has
made to us (see our Statement of Consolidated Partners Capital for a detail of the General
Partners equity account). For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our General Partner was
allocated $30.5 million (representing 16.4%) of our net income and received $23.8 million in cash
distributions.
Capital Accounts, as defined under our Partnership Agreement, are maintained for our General
Partner and our limited partners. The Capital Account provisions of our Partnership Agreement
incorporate principles established for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are not comparable to
the equity accounts reflected under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
in our financial statements. In connection with the amendment of our Partnership Agreement, the
General Partners obligation to make capital contributions to maintain its 2% capital account was
eliminated.
Net income is allocated between the General Partner and the limited partners in the same
proportion as aggregate cash distributions made to the General Partner and the limited partners
during the period. This is generally consistent with the manner of allocating net income under our
Partnership Agreement. Net income determined under our Partnership Agreement, however,
incorporates principles established for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not comparable to
net income reflected under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in our
financial statements.
Cash distributions that we make during a period may exceed our net income for the period. We
make quarterly cash distributions of all of our Available Cash, generally defined as consolidated
cash receipts less consolidated cash disbursements and cash reserves established by the General
Partner in its reasonable discretion. Cash distributions in excess of net income allocations and
capital contributions during previous years, resulted in a deficit in the General Partners equity
account at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007. Future cash distributions that exceed net income
will result in an increase in the deficit balance in the General Partners equity account.
According to the Partnership Agreement, in the event of our dissolution, after satisfying our
liabilities, our remaining assets would be divided among our limited partners and the General
Partner generally in the same proportion as Available Cash but calculated on a cumulative basis
over the life of the Partnership. If a deficit balance still remains in the General Partners
equity account after all allocations are made between the partners, the General Partner would not
be required to make whole any such deficit.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income requires certain items such as foreign currency
translation adjustments, gains or losses associated with pension or other postretirement benefits,
prior service costs or credits associated with pension or other postretirement benefits, transition
assets or obligations associated with pension or other postretirement benefits and unrealized gains
and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities to be reported in a financial
statement. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2007, the components of accumulated other
comprehensive income reflected on our consolidated balance sheet was composed of crude oil hedges,
interest rate swaps and unrecognized losses associated with the TEPPCO RCBP. The series of crude
oil
hedges have forward positions throughout 2007 and 2008, the last of which ends in January
2009. While the crude oil hedges are in effect, changes in their fair values, to the extent the
hedges are effective, are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until they are
recognized in net income in future periods. The interest

rate swaps mature in January 2008, are
related to our variable rate Revolving Credit Facility and are designated as cash flow hedges
beginning in the third quarter of 2006. These interest rate swaps were de-designated as cash flow
hedges on June 30, 2007 (see Note 5).

NOTE 13. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We have three reporting segments:
|
|
|
Our Downstream Segment, which is engaged in the transportation, marketing and
storage of refined products, LPGs and petrochemicals; |
|
|
|
|
Our Upstream Segment, which is engaged in the gathering, transportation, marketing
and storage of crude oil and distribution of lubrication oils and specialty chemicals;
and |
|
|
|
|
Our Midstream Segment, which is engaged in the gathering of natural gas,
fractionation of NGLs and transportation of NGLs. |
The amounts indicated below as Partnership and Other relate primarily to intersegment
eliminations and assets that we hold that have not been allocated to any of our reporting segments.
Our Downstream Segment revenues are earned from transportation, marketing and storage of refined
products and LPGs, intrastate transportation of petrochemicals, sale of product inventory and other
ancillary services. We generally realize higher revenues in the Downstream Segment during the
first and fourth quarters of each year since these operations are somewhat seasonal. Refined
products volumes are generally higher during the second and third quarters because of greater
demand for gasolines during the spring and summer driving seasons. LPGs volumes are generally
higher from November through March due to higher demand for propane, a major fuel for residential
heating. The two largest operating expense items of the Downstream Segment are labor and electric
power. Our Downstream Segment also includes the results of operations of the northern portion of
the Dean Pipeline, which transports refinery grade propylene from Mont Belvieu to Point Comfort,
Texas. Our Downstream Segment also includes our equity investments in MB Storage, which we
sold on March 1, 2007 (see Note 9), and in Centennial (see Note 8).
Our Upstream Segment revenues are earned from gathering, transporting, marketing and storing
crude oil and distributing lubrication oils and specialty chemicals, principally in Oklahoma,
Texas, New Mexico and the Rocky Mountain region. Marketing operations consist primarily of
aggregating purchased crude oil along our pipeline systems, or from third party pipeline systems,
and arranging the necessary transportation logistics for the ultimate sale or delivery of the crude
oil to local refineries, marketers or other end users. Revenues are also generated from
trade documentation and pumpover services, primarily at Cushing, Oklahoma, and Midland, Texas.
Our Upstream Segment also includes our equity investment in Seaway (see Note 8). Seaway consists
of large diameter pipelines that transport crude oil from Seaways marine terminals on the U.S.
Gulf Coast to Cushing,

(Unaudited)
Oklahoma, a crude oil distribution point for the central United States, and
to refineries in the Texas City and Houston areas.
Our Midstream Segment revenues are earned from the gathering of coal bed methane and
conventional natural gas in the San Juan Basin in New Mexico and Colorado, through Val Verde;
transportation of NGLs from two trunkline NGL pipelines in South Texas, two NGL pipelines in East
Texas and a pipeline system (Chaparral) from West Texas and New Mexico to Mont Belvieu; and the
fractionation of NGLs in Colorado. Our Midstream Segment also includes our equity investment in
Jonah (see Note 8). Jonah, which is a joint venture between us and an affiliate of Enterprise,
owns a natural gas gathering system in the Green River Basin in southwestern Wyoming. Prior to
August 1, 2006, when Jonah was wholly-owned by us, operating results for Jonah were included in the
consolidated Midstream Segment operating results. Effective August 1, 2006, we entered into the
joint venture with Enterprises affiliate, upon which Jonah was deconsolidated, and its operating
results since August 1, 2006, have been accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Operating results of the Pioneer plant, which we sold to an Enterprise affiliate in March 2006, are
shown as discontinued operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006.
The tables below include financial information by reporting segment for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

Effective April 1, 2006, we adopted EITF 04-13, which resulted in the netting of
certain sales and purchases of petroleum products transactions. The period from January 1,
2006 through March 31, 2006 was not adjusted for the adoption of EITF 04-13, as retroactive
restatement was not permitted, which impacts comparability. |

Relationship with EPCO and Affiliates
We have an extensive and ongoing relationship with EPCO and its affiliates, which include the
following significant entities:
|
|
|
EPCO and its consolidated private company subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC, our General Partner; |
|
|
|
|
Enterprise GP Holdings, which owns and controls our General Partner; |
|
|
|
|
Enterprise Products Partners L.P., which is controlled by affiliates of EPCO,
including Enterprise GP Holdings; |
|
|
|
|
Duncan Energy Partners L.P., which is controlled by affiliates of EPCO; and |
|
|
|
|
Enterprise Gas Processing LLC, which is controlled by affiliates of EPCO and is
our joint venture partner in Jonah. |
EPCO, a private company controlled by Dan L. Duncan, is an affiliate of Enterprise GP
Holdings, which owns and controls our General Partner. Enterprise GP Holdings owns all of the
membership interests of our
35
TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
General Partner. The principal business activity of our General
Partner is to act as our managing partner. The executive officers of our General Partner are
employees of EPCO (see Note 1).
We and our General Partner are both separate legal entities apart from each other and apart
from EPCO and its other affiliates, with assets and liabilities that are separate from those of
EPCO and its other affiliates. We paid cash distributions of $23.8 million and $39.3 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, to our General Partner.
The limited partner interests in us that are owned or controlled by EPCO and its affiliates,
other than those interests owned by Dan Duncan LLC and certain trusts affiliated with Dan L.
Duncan, are pledged as security under the credit facility of an affiliate of EPCO. This credit
facility contains customary and other events of default relating to EPCO and certain affiliates,
including Enterprise GP Holdings, Enterprise and us. All of the membership interests in our
General Partner and the limited partner interests in us that are owned or controlled by Enterprise
GP Holdings are pledged as security under its credit facility.
Unless noted otherwise, our agreements with EPCO or its affiliates are not the result of arms
length transactions. As a result, we cannot provide assurance that the terms and provisions of
such agreements are at least as favorable to us as we could have obtained from unaffiliated third
parties.
We do not have any employees. We are managed by our General Partner, and all of our
management, administrative and operating functions are performed by employees of EPCO, pursuant to
the ASA. We reimburse EPCO for the allocated costs of its employees who perform operating
functions for us and for costs related to its other management and administrative employees (see
Note 1).
Sale of Pioneer plant
On March 31, 2006, we sold our ownership interest in the Pioneer silica gel natural gas
processing plant located near Opal, Wyoming, together with Jonahs rights to process natural gas
originating from the Jonah and Pinedale fields, located in southwest Wyoming, to an affiliate of
Enterprise for $38.0 million in cash. The Pioneer plant was not an integral part of our Midstream
Segment operations, and natural gas processing is not a core business for us. We have no
continuing involvement in the operations or results of this plant. This transaction was reviewed
and recommended for approval by the ACG Committee and a fairness opinion was rendered by an
investment banking firm. The sales proceeds were used to fund organic growth projects, retire debt
and for other general partnership purposes. The carrying value of the Pioneer plant at March 31,
2006, prior to the sale, was $19.7 million. Costs associated with the completion of the
transaction were approximately $0.4 million.
Jonah Joint Venture
On August 1, 2006, Enterprise (through an affiliate) became our joint venture partner by
acquiring an interest in Jonah, the partnership through which we have owned our interest in the
Jonah system. Through June 30, 2007, we have reimbursed Enterprise $180.5 million for 50% of the
Phase V cost incurred by it (including its cost of capital of $1.3 million). At June 30, 2007, we
had a payable to Enterprise for costs incurred of $10.9 million (see Note 8). At June 30, 2007,
we had a receivable from Jonah of $1.5 million for operating expenses.
In conjunction with the formation of the joint venture, we have agreed to indemnify Enterprise
from any and all losses, claims, demands, suits, liability, costs and expenses arising out of or
related to breaches of our representations, warranties, or covenants related to the formation of
the Jonah joint venture, Jonahs ownership or operation of the Jonah system prior

(Unaudited)
to the effective
date of the joint venture, and any environmental activity, or violation of or liability under
environmental laws arising from or related to the condition of the Jonah system prior to the
effective date of the joint venture. In general, a claim for indemnification cannot be filed until
the losses suffered by Enterprise exceed $1.0 million, and the maximum potential amount of future payments under the
indemnity is limited to $100.0 million. However, if certain representations or warranties are
breached, the maximum potential amount of future payments under the indemnity is capped at $207.6
million. All indemnity payments are net of insurance recoveries that Enterprise may receive from
third-party insurers. We carry insurance coverage that may offset any payments required under the
indemnity. We do not expect that these indemnities will have a material adverse effect on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Sale of General Partner to Enterprise GP Holdings
On May 7, 2007, all of the membership interests in our General Partner, together with
4,400,000 of our Units, were sold by DFI to Enterprise GP Holdings, a publicly traded partnership
also controlled indirectly by EPCO. Mr. Duncan and his affiliates, including EPCO, Enterprise GP
Holdings and Dan Duncan LLC, a privately held company controlled by him, control us, our General
Partner and Enterprise and its affiliates, including Duncan Energy Partners L.P. As of May 7,
2007, Enterprise GP Holdings owns and controls the 2% general partner interest in us and has the
right (through its 100% ownership of our General Partner) to receive the incentive distribution
rights associated with the general partner interest. Enterprise GP Holdings, DFI and other
entities controlled by Mr. Duncan own 16,691,550 of our Units.
Other Transactions
On January 23, 2007, we sold a 10-mile, 18-inch segment of pipeline to an affiliate of
Enterprise for approximately $8.0 million. These assets were part of our Downstream Segment and
had a net book value of approximately $2.5 million. The sales proceeds were used to fund
construction of a replacement pipeline in the area, in which the new pipeline provides greater
operational capability and flexibility. We recognized a gain of approximately $5.5 million on this
transaction (see Note 9).
In June
2007, we purchased 300,000 barrels of propane linefill from an
affiliate of Enterprise for approximately $14.4 million.
Relationship with Energy Transfer Equity
In May 2007, Enterprise GP Holdings acquired non-controlling ownership interests in Energy
Transfer Equity, L.P. (Energy Transfer Equity) and LE GP, LLC (ETE GP), the general partner of
Energy Transfer Equity. Following the transaction, Enterprise GP Holdings owns approximately 34.9%
of the membership interests in ETE GP and 38,976,090 common units of Energy Tranfer Equity
representing approximately 17.6% of the outstanding limited partner interests in Energy Transfer
Equity. Additionally, Enterprise GP Holdings acquired all of the membership interests in our
General Partner and 4,400,000 of our Units (see Note 1). As a result of these transactions, ETE GP
and Energy Transfer Equity have become related parties to us. For the two months ended June 30,
2007, we recorded a nominal amount (less than $0.1 million) of revenue from a monthly storage
contract with one of Energy Transfer Equitys subsidiaries and did not incur any operating costs or
expenses.
Relationship with Unconsolidated Affiliates
Our significant related party revenues and expense transactions with unconsolidated affiliates
consist of management, rental and other revenues, transportation expense related to the
transportation of crude oil on Seaway and rental expense related to the lease of pipeline capacity
on Centennial. For additional information regarding our unconsolidated affiliates, see Note 8.

NOTE 15. EARNINGS PER UNIT
Basic earnings per Unit is computed by dividing net income or loss allocated to limited
partner interest by the weighted average number of distribution-bearing Units outstanding during a
period. The amount of net income allocated to limited partner interest is derived by subtracting
our General Partners share of the net income from total net income. Diluted earnings per Unit is
computed by dividing net income or loss allocated to limited partner interests by the sum of (i)
the weighted-average number of distribution-bearing Units outstanding during a period (as used in
determining basic earnings per Unit); and (ii) the number of incremental Units resulting from the
assumed exercise of dilutive unit options outstanding during a period (the incremental option
units).
In a period of net operating losses, restricted units and incremental option units are
excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per Unit due to their antidilutive effect. The
dilutive incremental option units are calculated using the treasury stock method, which assumes
that proceeds from the exercise of all in-the-money options at the end of each period are used to
repurchase Units at an average market value during the period. The amount of Units remaining after
the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.
In May 2007, we granted 155,000 Unit options to our employees (see Note 3). These Unit
options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per Unit due to their antidilutive
effect as they represent Unit options with an exercise price greater than the average market price
of a Unit for the period.
The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per Unit for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

Our General Partners percentage interest in our net income increases as cash
distributions paid per Unit increase, in accordance with our Partnership Agreement. At June 30,
2007 and 2006, we had outstanding 89,867,229 and 69,963,554 Units, respectively.
NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
In the fall of 1999, the General Partner and TE Products were named as defendants in a lawsuit
in Jackson County Circuit Court, Jackson County, Indiana, styled Ryan E. McCleery and Marcia S.
McCleery, et al. and Michael and Linda Robson, et al. v. Texas Eastern Corporation, et al. In
the lawsuit, the plaintiffs contend, among other things, that we and other defendants stored and
disposed of toxic and hazardous substances and hazardous wastes in a manner that caused the
materials to be released into the air, soil and water. They further contend that the release
caused damages to the plaintiffs. In their complaint, the plaintiffs allege strict liability for
both personal injury and property damage together with gross negligence, continuing nuisance,
trespass, criminal mischief and loss of consortium. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory,
punitive and treble damages. On March 18, 2005, we entered into Release and Settlement Agreements
with the McCleery plaintiffs dismissing all of these plaintiffs claims on terms that did not have
a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Although
we did not settle with all plaintiffs and we therefore remain named parties in the Michael and
Linda
Robson, et al. v. Texas Eastern Corporation, et al. action, a co-defendant has agreed, by
Cooperative Defense Agreement, to fund the defense. In a trial verdict rendered April 26, 2007,
the plaintiffs in this case were awarded no damages from TE Products, and $0.2 million from the
co-defendant. Consequently, the settlement of these claims did not have a material adverse effect
on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On December 21, 2001, TE Products was named as a defendant in a lawsuit in the 10th Judicial
District, Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, styled Rebecca L. Grisham et al. v. TE Products Pipeline
Company, Limited
39
TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Partnership. In this case, the plaintiffs contend that our pipeline, which
crosses the plaintiffs property, leaked toxic products onto their property and, consequently
caused damages to them. We have filed an answer to the plaintiffs petition denying the
allegations, and we are defending ourselves vigorously against the lawsuit. The plaintiffs assert
damages attributable to the remediation of the property of approximately $1.4 million. This case
has been stayed pending the completion of remediation pursuant to the Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality (LDEQ) requirements. We do not believe that the outcome of this lawsuit
will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In 1991, we were named as a defendant in a matter styled Jimmy R. Green, et al. v. Cities
Service Refinery, et al. as filed in the 26th Judicial District Court of Bossier Parish,
Louisiana. The plaintiffs in this matter reside or formerly resided on land that was once the site
of a refinery owned by one of our co-defendants. The former refinery is located near our Bossier
City facility. Plaintiffs have claimed personal injuries and property damage arising from alleged
contamination of the refinery property. The plaintiffs have recently pursued certification as a
class and have significantly increased their demand to approximately $175.0 million. We have never
owned any interest in the refinery property made the basis of this action, and we do not believe
that we contributed to any alleged contamination of this property. While we cannot predict the
ultimate outcome, we do not believe that the outcome of this lawsuit will have a material adverse
effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On September 18, 2006, Peter Brinckerhoff, a purported unitholder of TEPPCO, filed a complaint
in the Court of Chancery of New Castle County in the State of Delaware, in his individual capacity,
as a putative class action on behalf of our other unitholders, and derivatively on our behalf,
concerning proposals made to our unitholders in our definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC
on September 11, 2006 (Proxy Statement) and other transactions involving us and Enterprise or
its affiliates. Mr. Brinckerhoff filed an amended complaint on July 12, 2007. The amended
complaint names as defendants the General Partner; the Board of Directors of the General Partner;
EPCO; Enterprise and certain of its affiliates and Dan L. Duncan. We are named as a nominal
defendant.
The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that certain of the transactions adopted at
a special meeting of our unitholders on December 8, 2006, including a reduction of the General
Partners maximum percentage interest in our distributions in exchange for Units (the Issuance
Proposal), were unfair to our unitholders and constituted a breach by the defendants of fiduciary
duties owed to our unitholders and that the Proxy Statement failed to provide our unitholders with
all material facts necessary for them to make an informed decision whether to vote in favor of or
against the proposals. The amended complaint further alleges that, since Mr. Duncan acquired
control of the General Partner in 2005, the defendants, in breach of their fiduciary duties to us
and our unitholders, have caused us to enter into certain transactions with Enterprise or its
affiliates that were unfair to us or otherwise unfairly favored Enterprise or its affiliates over
us. The amended complaint alleges that such transactions include the Jonah joint venture entered
into by us and an Enterprise affiliate in August 2006 (citing the fact that our ACG Committee did
not obtain a fairness opinion from an independent investment banking firm in approving the
transaction), and the sale by us to an Enterprise affiliate of the Pioneer plant in March 2006. As
more fully described in the Proxy Statement, the ACG Committee recommended the Issuance Proposal
for approval by the Board of Directors of the General Partner. The amended complaint also alleges
that Richard S. Snell, Michael B. Bracy and Murray H. Hutchison, constituting the three members of
the ACG Committee, cannot be considered independent
because of their alleged ownership of securities in Enterprise and its affiliates and/or their
relationships with Mr. Duncan.
The amended complaint seeks relief (i) awarding damages for profits and special benefits
allegedly obtained by defendants as a result of the alleged wrongdoings in the complaint; (ii)
rescinding all actions taken pursuant to the Proxy vote and (iii) awarding plaintiff costs of the
action, including fees and expenses of his attorneys and experts.

TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
In addition to the proceedings discussed above, we have been, in the ordinary course of
business, a defendant in various lawsuits and a party to various other legal proceedings, some of
which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. We believe that the outcome of these lawsuits
and other proceedings will not individually or in the aggregate have a future material adverse
effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Regulatory Matters
Our pipelines and other facilities are subject to multiple environmental obligations and
potential liabilities under a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations. These
include, without limitation: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; the Clean Air Act; the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act or the Clean Water Act; the Oil Pollution Act; and analogous state and local laws and
regulations. Such laws and regulations affect many aspects of our present and future operations,
and generally require us to obtain and comply with a wide variety of environmental registrations,
licenses, permits, inspections and other approvals, with respect to air emissions, water quality,
wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management. Failure to comply with these
requirements may expose us to fines, penalties and/or interruptions in our operations that could
influence our results of operations. If an accidental leak, spill or release of hazardous
substances occurs at any facilities that we own, operate or otherwise use, or where we send
materials for treatment or disposal, we could be held jointly and severally liable for all
resulting liabilities, including investigation, remedial and clean-up costs. Likewise, we could be
required to remove or remediate previously disposed wastes or property contamination, including
groundwater contamination. Any or all of this could materially affect our results of operations
and cash flows.
We believe that our operations and facilities are in substantial compliance with applicable
environmental laws and regulations, and that the cost of compliance with such laws and regulations
will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. We
cannot ensure, however, that existing environmental regulations will not be revised or that new
regulations will not be adopted or become applicable to us. The clear trend in environmental
regulation is to place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may be perceived to
affect the environment, and thus there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of future
expenditures for environmental regulation compliance or remediation, and actual future expenditures
may be different from the amounts we currently anticipate. Revised or additional regulations that
result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions, particularly if those
costs are not fully recoverable from our customers, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. At June 30, 2007 and December
31, 2006, we have an accrued liability of $2.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, related to
sites requiring environmental remediation activities.
In 1999, our Arcadia, Louisiana, facility and adjacent terminals were directed by the
Remediation Services Division of the LDEQ to pursue remediation of environmental contamination.
Effective March 2004, we executed an access agreement with an adjacent industrial landowner who is
located upgradient of the Arcadia facility. This agreement enables the landowner to proceed with
remediation activities at our Arcadia facility for which it has
accepted shared responsibility. At June 30, 2007, we have an accrued liability of $0.1
million for remediation costs at our Arcadia facility. We do not expect that the completion of the
remediation program proposed to the LDEQ will have a future material adverse effect on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On July 27, 2004, we received notice from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) of
its intent to seek a civil penalty against us related to our November 21, 2001, release of
approximately 2,575 barrels of jet fuel from our 14-inch diameter pipeline located in Orange
County, Texas. The DOJ, at the request of the Environmental Protection Agency, is seeking a civil
penalty against us for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act (CWA) arising out of this
release, as well as three smaller spills at other locations in 2004 and 2005. We have agreed with
41
TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
the DOJ on a proposed penalty of $2.9 million, along with our commitment to implement additional
spill prevention measures, and expect to finalize the settlement by the end of 2007. We do not
expect this settlement to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
One of the spills encompassed in our current settlement discussion with the DOJ involved a
37,450-gallon release from Seaway on May 13, 2005 at Colbert, Oklahoma. This release was
remediated under the supervision of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, but resulted in claims by
neighboring landowners that have been settled for approximately $0.7 million. In addition, the
release resulted in a Corrective Action Order by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Among
other requirements of this Order, we were required to reduce the operating pressure of Seaway by
20% until completion of required corrective actions. The corrective actions were completed and on
June 1, 2006, we increased the operating pressure of Seaway back to 100%. We have a 50% ownership
interest in Seaway, and any settlement should be covered by our insurance. We do not expect the
settlement of the Colbert release to have a material adverse effect on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
On September 18, 2005, a propane release and fire occurred at our Todhunter facility, near
Middletown, Ohio. The incident resulted in the death of one of our employees; there were no other
injuries. Repairs to the impacted facilities have been completed. On March 17, 2006, we received
a citation from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) arising out of this
incident, with a penalty of $0.1 million. The settlement of this citation did not have a material
adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We are also in negotiations with the U.S. Department of Transportation with respect to a
notice of probable violation that we received on April 25, 2005, for alleged violations of pipeline
safety regulations at our Todhunter facility, with a proposed $0.4 million civil penalty. We
responded on June 30, 2005, by admitting certain of the alleged violations, contesting others and
requesting a reduction in the proposed civil penalty. We do not expect any settlement, fine or
penalty to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
The FERC, pursuant to the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, as amended, the Energy Policy Act
of 1992 and rules and orders promulgated thereunder, regulates the tariff rates for our interstate
common carrier pipeline operations. To be lawful under that Act, interstate tariff rates, terms
and conditions of service must be just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory, and must be on
file with FERC. In addition, pipelines may not confer any undue preference upon any shipper.
Shippers may protest, and the FERC may investigate, the lawfulness of new or changed tariff rates.
The FERC can suspend those tariff rates for up to seven months. It can also require refunds of
amounts collected with interest pursuant to rates that are ultimately found to be unlawful. The
FERC and interested parties can also challenge tariff rates that have become final and effective.
Because of the complexity of rate making, the lawfulness of any rate is never assured. A
successful challenge of our rates could adversely affect our revenues.
The FERC uses prescribed rate methodologies for approving regulated tariff rates for
transporting crude oil and refined products. Our interstate tariff rates are either market-based
or derived in accordance with the FERCs indexing methodology, which currently allows a pipeline to
increase its rates by a percentage linked to the producer
price index for finished goods. These methodologies may limit our ability to set rates based
on our actual costs or may delay the use of rates reflecting increased costs. Changes in the
FERCs approved methodology for approving rates could adversely affect us. Adverse decisions by
the FERC in approving our regulated rates could adversely affect our cash flow.
The intrastate liquids pipeline transportation services we provide are subject to various
state laws and regulations that apply to the rates we charge and the terms and conditions of the
services we offer. Although state regulation typically is less onerous than FERC regulation, the
rates we charge and the provision of our services may be subject to challenge.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Although our natural gas gathering systems are generally exempt from FERC regulation under the
Natural Gas Act of 1938, FERC regulation still significantly affects our natural gas gathering
business. In recent years, the FERC has pursued pro-competition policies in its regulation of
interstate natural gas pipelines. If the FERC does not continue this approach, it could have an
adverse effect on the rates we are able to charge in the future. In addition, our natural gas
gathering operations could be adversely affected in the future should they become subject to the
application of federal regulation of rates and services. Additional rules and legislation
pertaining to these matters are considered and adopted from time to time. We cannot predict what
effect, if any, such regulatory changes and legislation might have on our operations, but we could
be required to incur additional capital expenditures.
Contractual Obligations
In May 2007, we issued
$300.0 million of Junior Subordinated Notes due June 2067 (see Note
11). Other than the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes, there have been no significant
changes in our schedule of maturities of long-term debt or other contractual obligations since the
year ended December 31, 2006.
The following table
summarizes our maturities of long-term debt
obligations at June 30, 2007. A description of this long-term debt follows (in millions):

Centennial entered into credit facilities totaling $150.0 million, and at June 30, 2007,
$140.0 million was outstanding under those credit facilities and expires 2024. In April 2007,
$10.0 million matured and was repaid by Centennial. TE Products and Marathon have each guaranteed
one-half of the repayment of Centennials outstanding debt balance (plus interest) under these
credit facilities. If Centennial defaults on its outstanding balance, the estimated maximum
potential amount of future payments for TE Products and Marathon is $70.0 million each at June 30,
2007. Provisions included in the $140.0 million Centennial credit facility required that certain
financial metrics be achieved and for the guarantees to be removed by May 2007. These metrics were
not achieved, and the provisions of the Centennial debt agreements were amended in May 2007 to
require the guarantees to remain throughout the life of the debt. As a result of the guarantee, TE
Products recorded an obligation of $9.9 million, which represents the present value of the
estimated amount, based on a probability estimate, we would have to pay under the guarantee.
TE Products, Marathon and Centennial have entered into a limited cash call agreement, which
allows each member to contribute cash in lieu of Centennial procuring separate insurance in the
event of a third-party liability arising from a catastrophic event. There is an indefinite term
for the agreement and each member is to contribute cash in proportion to its ownership interest, up
to a maximum of $50.0 million each. As a result of the catastrophic event guarantee, TE Products
recorded a $4.2 million obligation, which represents the present value of the estimated amount,
based on a probability estimate, we would have to pay under the guarantee. If a catastrophic event
were to occur and we were required to contribute cash to Centennial, contributions exceeding our
deductible might be covered by our insurance, depending upon the nature of the catastrophic event.
One of our subsidiaries, TCO, has entered into master equipment lease agreements with finance
companies for the use of various equipment. We have guaranteed the full and timely payment and
performance of TCOs obligations under the agreements. Generally, events of default would trigger
our performance under the guarantee. The maximum potential amount of future payments under the
guarantee is not estimable, but would include base rental payments for both current and future
equipment, stipulated loss payments in the event any equipment is stolen, damaged, or destroyed and
any future indemnity payments. We carry insurance coverage that may offset any payments required
under the guarantees. We do not believe that any performance under the guarantee would have a
material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

On February 24, 2005, the General Partner was acquired from Duke Energy Field Services, LLC by
DFI. The General Partner owns a 2% general partner interest in us and is our general partner. On
March 11, 2005, the Bureau of Competition of the FTC delivered written notice to DFIs legal
advisor that it was conducting a non-public investigation to determine whether DFIs acquisition of
our General Partner may substantially lessen competition or violate other provisions of federal
antitrust laws. We and our General Partner cooperated fully with this investigation.
On October 31, 2006, an FTC order and consent agreement ending its investigation became final.
The order required the divestiture of our equity interest in MB Storage, its general partner and
certain related assets to one or more FTC-approved buyers in a manner approved by the FTC and
subject to its final approval. The order contained no minimum price for the divestiture and
required that we provide the acquirer or acquirers the opportunity to hire employees who spend more
than 10% of their time working on the divested assets. The order also imposed specified
operational, reporting and consent requirements on us including, among other things, in the event
that we acquire interests in or operate salt dome storage facilities for NGLs in specified areas.
The FTC approved a buyer and sale terms for our equity interests and certain related assets, and we
closed on such sale on March 1, 2007 (see Note 9).
On December 19, 2006, we announced that we had signed an agreement with Motiva Enterprises,
LLC (Motiva) for us to construct and operate a new refined products storage facility to support
the proposed expansion of Motivas refinery in Port Arthur, Texas. Under the terms of the
agreement, we will construct a 5.4 million barrel refined products storage facility for gasoline
and distillates. The agreement also provides for a 15-year throughput and dedication of volume,
which will commence upon completion of the refinery expansion. The project includes the
construction of 20 storage tanks, five 3.5-mile product pipelines connecting the storage facility
to Motivas refinery, 15,000 horsepower of pumping capacity, and distribution pipeline connections
to the Colonial, Explorer and Magtex pipelines. The storage and pipeline project is expected to be
completed by January 1, 2010. As a part of a separate but complementary initiative, we will
construct an 11-mile, 20-inch pipeline to connect the new storage facility in Port Arthur to our
refined products terminal in Beaumont, Texas, which is the primary origination facility for our
mainline system. These projects will facilitate connections to additional markets through the
Colonial, Explorer and Magtex pipeline systems and provide the Motiva refinery with access to our
pipeline system. The total cost of the project is expected to be approximately $243.0 million,
including $23.0 million for the 11-mile, 20-inch pipeline. By providing access to several major
outbound refined product pipeline systems, shippers should have enhanced flexibility and new
transportation options. Under the terms of the agreement, if Motiva cancels the agreement prior to
the commencement date of the project, Motiva will reimburse us the actual reasonable expenses we
have incurred after the effective date of the agreement, including both internal and external costs
that would be capitalized as a part of the project. If the cancellation were to occur in 2007,
Motiva would also pay costs incurred to date plus a five percent cancellation fee, with the fee
increasing to ten percent after 2007.

NOTE 18. SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
TE Products, TCTM, TEPPCO Midstream and Val Verde have issued full, unconditional, and joint
and several guarantees of our Senior Notes, our Revolving Credit Facility and our Junior
Subordinated Notes (collectively the Guaranteed Debt). In addition, during the 2006 period
presented below and extending through July 31, 2006, Jonah also had provided the same guarantees of
our Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility. Effective August 1, 2006, Enterprise, through its
affiliate, Enterprise Gas Processing, LLC, became our joint venture partner by acquiring an
interest in Jonah (see Note 8). Jonah was released as a guarantor of the Senior Notes and
Revolving Credit Facility, effective upon the formation of the joint venture. For periods prior to
August 1, 2006, TE Products, TCTM, TEPPCO Midstream, Jonah and Val Verde are collectively referred
to as the Guarantor Subsidiaries and for periods after August 1, 2006, references to Guarantor
Subsidiaries exclude Jonah.
The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial information reflects our separate
accounts, the combined accounts of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the combined accounts of our other
non-guarantor subsidiaries, the combined consolidating adjustments and eliminations and our
consolidated accounts for the dates and periods indicated. For purposes of the following
consolidating information, our investments in our subsidiaries

TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Treasury Locks
In
July and August 2007, we executed forward treasury rate lock
agreements that extend through January
31, 2008 for a notional amount totaling $100.0 million. These
agreements which are a derivative instruments,
have been designated as cash flow hedges to offset our exposure to increases in the underlying U.S.
Treasury benchmark rate that is expected to be used to establish the fixed interest rate for debt
that we expect to incur in 2008. The average rate under the treasury lock
agreements was 4.88%. The actual
coupon rate of the expected debt will be comprised of the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate,
plus a credit spread premium at the date of issuance.
Acquisition of Assets
On July 31, 2007, we purchased assets from Duke Energy Ohio, Inc. and Ohio River Valley
Propane, LLC for approximately $6.0 million. The assets, which will become part of our Downstream
Segment, consist of an active 170,000 barrel LPG storage cavern, the associated piping and related
equipment and a one bay truck rack. These assets are located adjacent to our Todhunter facility
near Middleton, Ohio and are connected to our existing LPG pipeline. We funded the purchase
through borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this Report) include
forward-looking statements. All statements that express belief, expectation, estimates or
intentions, as well as those that are not statements of historical facts are forward-looking
statements. The words proposed, anticipate, potential, may, will, could, should,
expect, estimate, believe, intend, plan, seek and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Without limiting the broader description of forward-looking
statements above, we specifically note that statements included in this document that address
activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future,
including such things as future distributions, estimated future capital expenditures (including the
amount and nature thereof), business strategy and measures to implement strategy, competitive
strengths, goals, expansion and growth of our business and operations, plans, references to future
success, references to intentions as to future matters and other such matters are forward-looking
statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of
our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future
developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. While we
believe our expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, whether
actual results and developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, market or business conditions, the
opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by us, competitive actions by
other pipeline companies, changes in laws or regulations and other factors, many of which are
beyond our control. For example, the demand for refined products is dependent upon the price,
prevailing economic conditions and demographic changes in the markets served, trucking and railroad
freight, agricultural usage and military usage; the demand for propane is sensitive to the weather
and prevailing economic conditions; the demand for petrochemicals is dependent upon prices for
products produced from petrochemicals; the demand for crude oil and petroleum products is dependent
upon the price of crude oil and the products produced from the refining of crude oil; and the
demand for natural gas is dependent upon the price of natural gas and the locations in which
natural gas is drilled. We are also subject to regulatory factors such as the amounts we are
allowed to charge our customers for the services we provide on our regulated pipeline systems.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this document are qualified by these
cautionary statements, and we cannot assure you that actual results or developments that we
anticipate will be realized or, even if substantially realized, will have the expected consequences
to or effect on us or our business or operations. Also note that we provide additional cautionary
discussion of risks and uncertainties under the captions Risk Factors, Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this Report and in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Report speak only as of the date hereof.
Except as required by the federal and state securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or any other reason. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting
on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or
referred to in this Report and in our future periodic reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the
forward-looking events discussed in this Report may not occur.
Overview of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A summary of the significant accounting policies we have adopted and followed in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain of these accounting policies require the use of
estimates. As more fully described therein, the following estimates, in our opinion, are
subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and involve complex analysis: revenue and
expense accruals, including accruals for power costs, property taxes and crude oil margins;
reserves for environmental matters; depreciation methods and estimated useful lives of property,
plant and equipment; and goodwill and intangible assets. These estimates are based on our
knowledge and understanding of current conditions and actions we may take in the future. Changes
in these estimates will occur as a result of the
52
passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates
may have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Overview of Business
Certain factors are key to our operations. These include the safe, reliable and efficient
operation of the pipelines and facilities that we own or operate while meeting the regulations that
govern the operation of our assets and the costs associated with such regulations. We operate and
report in three business segments:
|
|
|
Our Downstream Segment, which is engaged in the transportation, marketing and
storage of refined products, liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs) and petrochemicals; |
|
|
|
|
Our Upstream Segment, which is engaged in the gathering, transportation,
marketing and storage of crude oil and distribution of lubrication oils and
specialty chemicals; and |
|
|
|
|
Our Midstream Segment, which is engaged in the gathering of natural gas,
transportation of natural gas liquids (NGLs) and fractionation of NGLs. |
Please refer to Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Overview of Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006 for an overview of how revenues are earned in each segment and other factors affecting the
results and financial position of our businesses.
Consistent with our business strategy, we are focused on our continued growth through
expansion of assets that we own and through the construction and acquisition of assets. We
continuously evaluate possible acquisitions of assets that would complement our current operations,
including assets which, if acquired, would have a material effect on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Recent Developments
On May 7, 2007, DFI GP Holdings L.P. sold all of the membership interests of our General
Partner to Enterprise GP Holdings, a publicly traded partnership, also controlled indirectly by
EPCO (see Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
In May 2007, we issued and sold $300.0 million in principal amount of fixed/floating,
unsecured, long-term subordinated notes due June 1, 2067 (Junior Subordinated Notes). We used
the proceeds from this subordinated debt to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under our
revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes. Our payment obligations under the
Junior Subordinated Notes are subordinated to all of our current and future senior indebtedness (as
defined in the related indenture). TE Products, TEPPCO Midstream, TCTM, and Val Verde Gas
Gathering Company, L.P. (Val Verde) (collectively, the Subsidiary Guarantors) have jointly and
severally guaranteed, on a junior subordinated basis, payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes (see Note 11 in the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements).

We generally realize higher revenues in the Downstream Segment during the first and fourth
quarters of each year since our operations are somewhat seasonal. Refined products volumes are
generally higher during the second and third quarters because of greater demand for gasolines
during the spring and summer driving seasons.
55
LPGs volumes are generally higher from November through March due to higher demand for
propane, a major fuel for residential heating. Our Downstream Segment also includes the results of
operations of the northern portion of the Dean Pipeline, which transports refinery grade propylene
from Mont Belvieu to Point Comfort, Texas.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
Effective November 1, 2006, we purchased a refined products terminal in Aberdeen, Mississippi,
from Mississippi Terminal and Marketing Inc. We conduct distribution and marketing operations
whereby we provide terminaling services for our throughput and exchange partners at this terminal.
We also purchase refined products from our throughput partners that we in turn sell through spot
sales at the Aberdeen truck rack to independent wholesalers and retailers of refined products. For
the three months ended June 30, 2007, sales related to these refined products marketing activities
were $9.4 million and purchases of refined products for these activities were $9.3 million.
Revenues from refined products transportation increased $2.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to an
increase in the refined products average rate per barrel. The average rate increased primarily due
to increases in system tariffs that went into effect in July 2006 and February 2007. The increase
in the refined products average rate was partially due to the impact of Centennial Pipeline LLC
(Centennial) on the average rates. Movements during the three months ended June 30, 2007 on
Centennial were a smaller percentage of the total deliveries when compared to the prior year period
deliveries. When the proportion of refined products deliveries from a Centennial origin decrease,
the average TEPPCO tariff increases. Conversely, if a larger proportion of the refined products
deliveries from a Centennial origin increase, TEPPCOs average tariff declines.
Revenues from LPGs transportation increased $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, due to higher deliveries of propane in
the Northeast market area as a result of colder than normal weather in April 2007 and lower
deliveries of propane in the 2006 period in the Midwest and Northeast market areas as a result of
high propane prices delaying summer fill programs and scheduled maintenance, known as a turnaround,
at a mid-continent petrochemical plant. Revenues were lower in the prior year period due to lower
isobutane deliveries as a result of a Midwest refinery turnaround in 2006. LPG transportation
volumes in the 2006 period include approximately 2.8 million barrels related to short-haul propane
movements on a pipeline that was sold on March 1, 2007 to Louis Dreyfus Energy Services L.P.
(Louis Dreyfus). The LPGs average rate per barrel increased 49% from the prior year period
primarily as a result of decreased short-haul deliveries and increased long-haul deliveries during
the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the prior year period.
Other operating revenues decreased $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to lower margins on product sales
and a decrease in refined products tender deduction revenue, partially offset by lower costs in
upsystem product exchanges.
Costs and expenses, excluding purchases of petroleum products, increased $0.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. Depreciation
and amortization expense increased $1.6 million primarily due to assets placed into service and
asset retirements in 2007. Operating fuel and power increased $1.1 million primarily due to higher
power rates as a result of the increased cost of fuel. Operating expenses decreased $1.5 million
primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in pipeline inspection and repair costs associated with
our integrity management program; a $0.7 million prior year regulatory penalty assessed for past
incidents; $0.6 million of prior year severance expense as a result of the migration to a shared
services environment with EPCO; a $0.4 million decrease in current operating costs related to the
migration to a shared services environment with EPCO, including integrating such departments as
engineering and information technology; and $0.4 million of prior year expenses relating to the
proposed reduction in the General Partners maximum percentage interest in our distributions;
partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in rental expense on the Centennial pipeline capacity
lease and a $1.5 million increase in product measurement losses. General and administrative
expenses decreased $0.5 million primarily due to $0.8 million of severance expense in the prior
year
56
period resulting from the
migration to a shared services environment with EPCO, partially offset by $0.5 million of higher
office rental expenses. Taxes other than income taxes decreased $0.3 million primarily due to
true-ups of property tax accruals.
Net losses from equity investments increased for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, as shown below (in thousands):

Equity losses in Centennial decreased $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to higher transportation revenues
and lower costs relating to pipeline inspection and repair costs associated with its integrity
management program. Equity losses in MB Storage increased $2.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the sale of MB
Storage on March 1, 2007 to Louis Dreyfus (see Note 9 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements). During the second quarter of 2007, we recorded $1.1 million of expense related to
post closing adjustments associated with the March 1, 2007 sale of TE Products interest in MB
Storage.
Other income net increased $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared
with the three months ended June 30, 2006, due to higher interest income earned on cash investments
and other investing activities.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, sales related to refined products marketing activities
were $18.8 million and purchases of refined products were $18.7 million.
Revenues from refined products transportation increased $7.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to increases in the
average rate per barrel. The average rate increased primarily due to an increase in system
tariffs, which went into effect in April and July 2006 and February 2007. The increase in the
refined products average rate was also partially due to the impact of Centennial on the average
rates. Movements during the six months ended June 30, 2007 on Centennial were a smaller percentage
of the total deliveries when compared to the prior year period deliveries.
Revenues from LPGs transportation increased $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to increased deliveries of propane in
the Midwest and Northeast market areas as a result of colder than normal weather that extended
through April 2007 and lower deliveries of propane in the 2006 period in the Midwest and Northeast
market areas as a result of warmer than normal winter weather, high propane prices and plant
turnarounds. LPG transportation volumes in the 2006 period include approximately 1.8 million
barrels of short-haul propane movements, through a pipeline that was sold on March 1, 2007 to Louis
Dreyfus. The LPGs average rate per barrel increased from the prior period primarily as a result of
decreased short-haul deliveries and increased long-haul deliveries during the six months ended June
30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Other operating revenues decreased $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007,
compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to decreased margins on product
sales, increased costs of upsystem product exchanges and lower refined product tender deduction
revenue partially offset by increased refined products rental revenue related to Texas Genco LLC
(Genco) assets.
57
Costs and expenses, excluding purchases of petroleum products, decreased $18.8 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. During
the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized a net gain of $18.7 million from the sales of
various assets in the Downstream Segment to Enterprise and Louis Dreyfus (see Note 9 in the Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Operating expense decreased $3.5 million primarily due
to a $2.6 million decrease in pipeline inspection and repair costs associated with our integrity
management program; a $2.5 million decrease in operating costs related to the migration to a shared
services environment with EPCO, including integrating such departments as engineering and
information technology; a $1.3 million decrease in pipeline operating costs primarily as a result
of the timing of projects in the current period; a $0.7 million prior year regulatory penalty
assessed for past incidents; $0.6 million of prior year severance expense as a result of the
migration to a shared services environment with EPCO; and $0.4 million of prior year expenses
relating to the proposed reduction in the General Partners maximum percentage interest in our
distributions; partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in rental expense on the Centennial
pipeline capacity lease, a $1.5 million increase in product measurement losses and $1.0 million of
higher insurance premiums. General and administrative expenses decreased $1.5 million primarily
due to $1.9 million of severance expense in the prior year period resulting from the migration to a
shared services environment with EPCO, partially offset by $0.5 million of higher office rental
expenses. Depreciation expense increased $2.4 million primarily due to assets placed into service
and asset retirements in 2006 and 2007. Operating fuel and power increased $2.2 million primarily
due to increased mainline throughput and higher power rates as a result of the increased cost of
fuel. Taxes other than income taxes increased $0.2 million primarily due to a higher property
asset base in the 2007 period and true-ups of property tax accruals.

Equity losses in Centennial decreased $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007,
compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to higher transportation revenues
and volumes primarily due to colder than normal winter weather in the Northeast and lower costs
relating to pipeline inspection and repair costs associated with its integrity management program.
Equity earnings in MB Storage decreased $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007,
compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the sale of MB Storage on March
1, 2007 to Louis Dreyfus, $1.1 million of expense in the second quarter of 2007 related to post
closing adjustments associated with the sale of TE Products interest in MB Storage and higher
system maintenance expenses, partially offset by higher revenues and higher operating fuel and
power in the 2006 period resulting from higher power rates and increased volumes. For the 2007 and
2006 periods, TE Products sharing ratios in the earnings of MB Storage were approximately 56.0%
and 61.4%, respectively.
On March 1, 2007, TE Products sold its 49.5% ownership interest in MB Storage and its 50%
ownership interest in Mont Belvieu Venture, LLC (the general partner of MB Storage) to Louis
Dreyfus for approximately $137.6 million in cash (see Note 9 in the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements). We recognized a gain of approximately $59.6 million related to the sale of
our equity interests, which is included in gain on sale of ownership interest in MB Storage in our
statements of consolidated income.
Other income net increased $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared
with the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to higher interest income earned on cash investments
and other investing activities.

On April 1, 2006, we adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 04-13. The period
from January 1, 2006 through March 31, 2006 (included in the six months ended June 30,
2006) was not adjusted for the adoption of EITF 04-13, as retroactive restatement was not
permitted, which impacts comparability. |
Information presented in the following table includes the margin of the Upstream Segment,
which may be viewed as a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measure
under the rules of the SEC. We calculate the margin of the Upstream Segment as revenues generated
from the sale of crude oil and lubrication oil, and transportation of crude oil, less the costs of
purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil, in each case, prior to the elimination of intercompany
sales, revenues and purchases between wholly-owned subsidiaries. We believe that margin is a more
meaningful measure of financial performance than sales and purchases of crude oil and lubrication
oil due to the significant fluctuations in sales and purchases caused by variations in the level of
volumes marketed and prices for products marketed. Additionally, we use margin internally to
evaluate the financial performance of the Upstream Segment because it excludes expenses that are
not directly related to the marketing and sales activities
59
being evaluated. Margin and volume
information for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is presented below (in
thousands, except per barrel and per gallon amounts):

On April 1, 2006, we adopted EITF 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with
the Same Counterparty, which resulted in crude oil inventory purchases and sales under buy/sell
transactions, which were previously recorded as gross purchases and sales, to be treated as
inventory exchanges in our statements of consolidated income. EITF 04-13 reduced gross revenues
and purchases, but did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows. Under the consensus reached in EITF 04-13, buy/sell transactions are reported as
non-monetary exchanges and consequently not presented on a gross basis in our statements of
consolidated income. Implementation of EITF 04-13 reduced revenues and purchases of petroleum
products on our statements of consolidated income by approximately $699.7 million and $1,084.7
million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $313.7 million
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006. The revenues and purchases of petroleum
products associated with buy/sell transactions that are reported on a gross basis in our statement
of consolidated income in the six months ended June 30, 2006 are approximately $275.4 million.
Under the provisions of the consensus, retroactive restatement of buy/sell transactions reported in
prior periods was not permitted.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
Sales of petroleum products and purchases of petroleum products decreased $350.0 million and
$350.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three
months ended June 30, 2006. Operating income increased $0.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decreases in sales and
purchases were primarily due to an 8% decrease in the price of crude oil based upon New York
Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) pricing, partially offset by increased volumes marketed. The
decrease in costs and expenses discussed below, partially offset by the decrease in the average
price of crude oil were the primary factors resulting in an increase in operating income. Crude
oil marketing margin decreased $0.2 million primarily due to increased transportation costs,
partially offset by more favorable market conditions in the 2006 period as compared to the 2007
period, increased volumes marketed and a $0.7 million unrealized gain related to marking crude oil
grade and location swap contracts to current market value. Crude oil transportation revenues
increased slightly with increased transportation revenues and volumes on the Red River system
primarily related to movements on higher tariff segments, partially offset by lower transportation
revenues on the South Texas system and the Basin system primarily related to decreased volumes
transported and lower third-party transportation volumes primarily due to unexpected temporary
refinery shutdowns in the 2007 period. Lubrication oil sales margin increased slightly primarily
due to increased fuel and lubrication oil volumes, partially offset by a lower average margin per
gallon on sales of lubrication oils. Crude oil terminaling revenues decreased $0.5 million as a
result of decreased pumpover volumes at Cushing, Oklahoma, and Midland, Texas. Terminaling volumes
at Cushing decreased 24% from prior year period primarily due to unexpected temporary refinery
shutdowns in the 2007 period that affected the demand for crude oil at Cushing.
Other operating revenues remained virtually unchanged for the three months ended June 30,
2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to consistent revenues from
documentation and other services to support customers trading activity at Midland and Cushing in
the second quarter of 2007 as compared with the second quarter of 2006.
Costs and expenses, excluding expenses associated with purchases of crude oil and lubrication
oil, decreased $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three
months ended June 30, 2006. Operating expenses decreased $1.5 million from the prior year period
primarily due to a $1.9 million increase in product measurement gains, a $0.4 million decrease in
insurance premiums and $0.4 million of prior year severance expense as a result of the migration to
a shared services environment with EPCO, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in pipeline
operating and maintenance expense primarily as a result of the timing of projects. Operating fuel
and power decreased $0.1 million primarily as a result of decreased power rates in the 2007 period.
General and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million primarily due to a $0.3 million
decrease in labor and benefits expense, partially offset by an increase in general and
administrative consulting services and supplies and
61
expenses. Taxes other than income taxes
decreased $0.1 million due to true-ups of property tax accruals. Depreciation and amortization
expense increased $0.7 million primarily due to assets placed in service in 2006.
Equity earnings from our investment in Seaway decreased $3.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. Our sharing ratio of the
revenue and expense of Seaway for 2007 is 40%, while for 2006, it was 47% (see Note 8 in the Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Equity earnings from our investment in Seaway also
decreased due to lower transportation volumes, which were negatively impacted by the unexpected
temporary shutdown of several regional refineries for maintenance and repairs. Long-haul volumes
on Seaway averaged 115,000 barrels per day during the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared
with 246,000 barrels per day during the three months ended June 30, 2006. For further information
on distributions from Seaway, see Note 8 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
Sales of petroleum products and purchases of petroleum products decreased $909.4 million and
$919.5 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months
ended June 30, 2006. Operating income increased $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decreases in sales and purchases were
primarily a result of an 8% decrease in the price of crude oil based upon NYMEX pricing and the
effects of the adoption of EITF 04-13, which reduced each of revenues and purchases of petroleum
products by $1,084.7 million for the 2007 period as compared with $313.7 million for the 2006
period, partially offset by increased volumes transported and marketed. The decrease in the
average price of crude oil, partially offset by increased costs and expenses discussed below, were
the primary factors resulting in an increase in operating income. Crude oil marketing margin
increased $8.5 million, primarily due to favorable market conditions, increased volumes marketed
and a $0.7 million unrealized gain related to marking crude oil grade and location swap contracts
to current market value, partially offset by increased transportation costs. Crude oil
transportation revenues increased $1.5 million primarily due to higher revenues on our Red River
system related to movements on higher tariff segments and increased transportation volumes and
revenues on our South Texas system and West Texas systems, partially offset by decreases in
transportation volumes on lower tariff segments of our Basin system. Crude oil terminaling
revenues increased $1.0 million as a result of increased pumpover volumes at Midland and Cushing.
Lubrication oil sales margin increased $0.1 million primarily due to increased fuel and lubrication
oil volumes, partially offset by a lower average margin per gallon on sales of lubrication oils.
Other operating revenues increased $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007,
compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to higher revenues from
documentation and other services to support customers trading activity at Midland and Cushing.
Costs and expenses, excluding expenses associated with purchases of crude oil and lubrication
oil, increased $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months
ended June 30, 2006. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.5 million primarily due to
assets placed in service in 2006. Operating expenses increased $0.9 million from the prior year
period primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in pipeline operating and maintenance expense
primarily as a result of the timing of projects and a $1.3 million increase in labor and benefits
expense associated with our incentive compensation plans and other higher labor expense, partially
offset by a $2.3 million increase in product measurement gains and a $0.7 million decrease in
pipeline repair and maintenance expense associated with our integrity management program.
Operating fuel and power decreased $0.3 million primarily as a result of decreased power rates in
the 2007 period, partially offset by higher transportation volumes. General and administrative
expenses decreased $0.1 million primarily due to nominal decreases in labor and benefits expense,
partially offset by nominal increases in general and administrative consulting services and
supplies and expenses. Taxes other than income taxes decreased $0.1 million due to true-ups of
property tax accruals.
Equity earnings from our investment in Seaway decreased $4.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the decrease in
the sharing ratio from
62
47% to 40% (see Note 8 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements). Equity earnings from our investment in Seaway also decreased due to lower
transportation volumes, which were negatively impacted by the unexpected temporary shutdown of
several regional refineries for maintenance and repairs. Long-haul volumes on Seaway
averaged 154,000 barrels per day during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with
252,000 barrels per day during the six months ended June 30, 2006. These decreases were partially
offset by higher expenses in the 2006 period related to pipeline integrity costs for corrective
measures taken for the pipeline release in May 2005, increased environmental remediation and
assessment costs, higher operating fuel and power costs relating to the use of a drag reducing
agent and higher power rates.
After a release occurred on the Seaway pipeline in May 2005, the maximum operating pressure on
the pipeline system was reduced by 20% until the cause of the failure was determined. Corrective
measures were implemented upon the release in 2005 and were completed during the second quarter of
2006. Seaway operated at reduced maximum pressure through May 2006. On June 1, 2006, Seaways
operating pressure was increased to 100%. As a result of operating at reduced maximum pressure, we
used a drag reducing agent to increase the flow of product through the pipeline system during the
period when operating pressures were reduced. The drag reducing agent allowed us to maintain the
higher volumes transported, but also increased our operating costs. The reduced pressure did not
have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows (see
Note 16 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Effective August 1, 2006, with the formation of a joint venture with Enterprise, Jonah
was deconsolidated and operating results after August 1, 2006 are included in equity
earnings (see Note 8 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). However, the
table includes Jonahs volume and average rate information for the full three and six
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. |
|
(2) |
|
Volumes for the 2006 period have been revised to exclude barrels associated with
capacity leases from which revenues are classified as other operating revenues. |
Through July 31, 2006, Jonahs operating results were fully consolidated in the Midstream
Segment operating results. Effective August 1, 2006, with the formation of a joint venture with
Enterprise, Jonah, the partnership through which we have owned our interest in the Jonah system,
was deconsolidated and has been subsequently accounted for as an equity investment. Operating
results for Jonah for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 are reported as equity
earnings. At June 30, 2007, our ownership interest in Jonah and our sharing in the earnings of
Jonah for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately 95.3% (98.0% of revenues).
Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
For the 2006 period, sales from petroleum products relating to natural gas marketing
activities were $13.8 million and purchases of petroleum products were $12.9 million. As a service
to certain small producers, in late 2005, we began to aggregate purchases of wellhead gas on Jonah
and re-sell the aggregated quantities at key Jonah delivery points in order to facilitate
throughput on Jonah. The purchases and sales were generally contracted to
occur in the same calendar month to minimize price risk. During the second quarter of 2006,
gas purchase and sales
64
contracts were finalized and executed and the marketing of gas on the Jonah
system began. Effective August 1, 2006, with the deconsolidation of Jonah, sales and purchases of
natural gas are reported in equity earnings.
Revenues from the gathering of natural gas decreased $26.0 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to a decrease of
$25.2 million resulting from the deconsolidation of Jonah on August 1, 2006. Natural gas gathering
revenues from the Val Verde system decreased $0.8 million and volumes gathered decreased 3.5 Bcf
for the three months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to the natural decline of coal bed methane
production in the fields in which the Val Verde gathering system operates and lower volumes from a
third party natural gas gathering system connected to Val Verde, partially offset by an increase in
the average fee. Val Verdes average natural gas gathering fee per MMBtu increased 3% primarily
due to annual rate escalations, partially offset by lower volumes from a third party natural gas
connection that has lower rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, Val Verdes gathering
volumes averaged 478 MMcf per day, compared with 516 MMcf per day for the three months ended June
30, 2006.
Revenues from the transportation of NGLs increased $0.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to an increase in
the average rates on the Chaparral and Panola Pipelines and an increase in volumes transported on
the Dean Pipeline. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in volumes transported on
the Chaparral and Panola Pipelines and decreased volumes resulting from taking the Wilcox Pipeline
out of service in December 2006. The average NGL transportation rate per barrel increased from the
prior year period as a result of higher average rates per barrel on the Chaparral and Panola
Pipelines.
Other operating revenues decreased $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease
resulting from the deconsolidation of Jonah on August 1, 2006, partially offset by a $0.7 million
increase on the Panola Pipeline primarily due to increased revenues from a pipeline capacity lease.
Costs and expenses, excluding purchases of petroleum products, decreased $13.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. Operating
expenses decreased $8.7 million primarily due to a $4.1 million decrease resulting from the
deconsolidation of Jonah on August 1, 2006, $2.5 million of favorable imbalance valuations
primarily on Chaparral, $1.9 million of expense in the 2006 period related to the formation of the
Jonah joint venture with Enterprise and increased expenses in the 2006 period as a result of the
migration to a shared services environment with EPCO, partially offset by $1.3 million of higher
pipeline inspection and repair costs associated with our integrity management program.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $5.0 million due to the deconsolidation of Jonah.
Taxes other than income taxes decreased $0.6 million primarily due to the deconsolidation of
Jonah. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million primarily due to transition
costs in the 2006 period from the migration to a shared services environment with EPCO. Operating
fuel and power increased $0.9 million primarily due to higher fuel costs on Chaparral.
Equity earnings of $22.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were from our
ownership interest in the Jonah joint venture with Enterprise, which was formed effective August 1,
2006. Since August 1, 2006, revenues and costs and expenses of Jonah have been included in equity
earnings based upon our ownership interest in Jonah. Prior to August 1, 2006, Jonah was
wholly-owned, and its revenues and costs and expenses were included in the individual revenues and
costs and expenses line items. Jonahs net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
increased $9.3 million, compared with the prior year period, primarily due to increased revenues
and volumes generated from completion of Phase IV of the Jonah expansion project in February 2006
and increased revenues and volumes generated from the completion of a portion of Phase V of the
expansion project in the fourth quarter of 2006, partially offset by increased operating costs
relating to these expansions. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, Jonahs gathering volumes
averaged approximately 1.5 Bcf per day, compared with approximately 1.2 Bcf per day for the three
months ended June 30, 2006.
65
Jonahs volumes gathered increased 28.5 Bcf for the three months ended
June 30, 2007, primarily as a result of completion of the Phase IV expansion and partial completion
of a portion of the Phase V
expansion, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. Jonahs average fee per MMBtu
decreased 2% primarily due to slightly higher system wellhead pressures during the 2007 period.
The decreases in the natural gas sales average fee per MMBtu and condensate sales average rate per
barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2007, were primarily a result of lower market prices
compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
For the 2006 period, sales from petroleum products relating to natural gas marketing
activities were $13.8 million and purchases of petroleum products were $12.9 million. Effective
August 1, 2006, with the deconsolidation of Jonah, sales and purchases of natural gas are reported
in equity earnings.
Revenues from the gathering of natural gas decreased $52.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to a decrease of
$49.9 million resulting from the deconsolidation of Jonah on August 1, 2006. Natural gas gathering
revenues from the Val Verde system decreased $2.1 million and volumes gathered decreased 5.2 Bcf
for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to winter weather production issues during
the first quarter of 2007 and the natural decline of coal bed methane production in the fields in
which the Val Verde gathering system operates. Val Verdes average natural gas gathering fee per
MMBtu decreased 1% primarily due to a third party natural gas connection that had incremental
volumes in the 2006 period at higher rates as compared to the 2007 period. For the six months
ended June 30, 2007, Val Verdes gathering volumes averaged 481 MMcf per day, compared with 510
MMcf per day for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Revenues from the transportation of NGLs increased $0.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to an increase in the
volumes transported on the Chaparral and Dean Pipelines and an increase in the average rate on the
Chaparral Pipeline. These increases were partially offset by decreased volumes resulting from
taking the Wilcox Pipeline out of service in December 2006.
Other operating revenues decreased $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007,
compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to a $3.0 million decrease
resulting from the deconsolidation of Jonah on August 1, 2006, partially offset by a $1.3 million
increase on the Panola Pipeline primarily due to increased revenues from a pipeline capacity lease.
Fractionation revenues decreased approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007, compared with the six months ended June 20, 2006, primarily as a result of lower volumes from
slightly reduced production of NGLs, which was affected by colder weather in the area. The average
rate per barrel for the fractionation of NGLs increased 6% primarily due to the rate structure in
the agreement; as volumes increase, the rate at which the NGLs are fractionated decrease.
Costs and expenses, excluding purchases of petroleum products, decreased $19.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. Operating
expenses decreased $10.6 million primarily due to a $7.2 million decrease resulting from the
deconsolidation of Jonah on August 1, 2006, $1.9 million of expense in the 2006 period related to
the formation of the Jonah joint venture with Enterprise, $1.6 million of favorable imbalance
valuations and product measurement costs primarily on Chaparral and a decrease in salaries and
wages, partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in pipeline inspection and repair costs
associated with our integrity management program and a $0.9 million increase in insurance expense.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $10.1 million primarily due to the deconsolidation
of Jonah. Taxes other than income taxes decreased $1.2 million primarily due to the
deconsolidation of Jonah. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million due to higher
salaries and wages, partially offset by transition costs in the 2006 period from the migration to a
shared services environment with EPCO. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, a gain of $1.4
million was recognized on the sales of various equipment at Val Verde. Operating fuel and power
increased $0.9 million primarily due to higher fuel costs and increased transportation volumes on
Chaparral.
Equity earnings of $41.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were from our
ownership interest in the Jonah joint venture with Enterprise, which was formed effective August 1,
2006. Beginning August 1, 2006, revenues and costs and expenses of Jonah are now included in
equity earnings based upon our ownership interest in
66
Jonah. Prior to August 1, 2006, Jonah was wholly-owned, and its revenues and costs and expenses
were included in the individual revenues and costs and expenses line items. Jonahs net income for
the six months ended June 30, 2007, increased $14.1 million, compared with the prior year period,
primarily due to increased revenues and volumes generated from completion of Phase IV of the Jonah
expansion project in February 2006 and increased revenues and volumes generated from the completion
of a portion of Phase V of the expansion project in the fourth quarter of 2006, partially offset by
increased operating costs relating to these expansions. For the six months ended June 30, 2007,
Jonahs gathering volumes averaged approximately 1.5 Bcf per day, compared with approximately 1.2
Bcf per day for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Jonahs volumes gathered increased 52.4 Bcf
for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily as a result of completion of the Phase IV
expansion and partial completion of a portion of the Phase V expansion, compared with the six
months ended June 30, 2006. Jonahs average fee per MMBtu decreased 2% primarily due to slightly
higher system wellhead pressures during the 2007 period. Jonahs condensate sales volumes
increased for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to the increase in gathering
volumes, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in Jonahs natural gas
sales average fee per MMBtu for the six months ended June 30, 2007, was primarily a result of lower
market prices compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30,
2007, our sharing in the revenues of Jonah was 98.0% (95.3% of earnings), compared with 100% in the
prior year period, as a result of certain milestones provided for in the joint venture agreement
being reached in the construction of the Phase V expansion (see Note 8 in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements).
Discontinued Operations
On March 31, 2006, we sold our ownership interest in the Pioneer silica gel natural gas
processing plant located near Opal, Wyoming, together with Jonahs rights to process natural gas
originating from the Jonah and Pinedale fields, located in southwest Wyoming, to an affiliate of
Enterprise for $38.0 million in cash. The Pioneer plant was not an integral part of our Midstream
Segment operations, and natural gas processing is not a core business for us. We have no
continuing involvement in the operations or results of this plant. This transaction was reviewed
and recommended for approval by the Audit, Conflicts and Governance Committee of the Board of
Directors of our General Partner (ACG Committee) and a fairness opinion was rendered by an
investment banking firm. The sales proceeds were used to fund organic growth projects, retire debt
and for other general partnership purposes. The carrying value of the Pioneer plant at March 31,
2006, prior to the sale, was $19.7 million. Costs associated with the completion of the
transaction were approximately $0.4 million.
Condensed statements of income for the Pioneer plant, which is classified as discontinued
operations, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, are presented below (in

Sales of petroleum products less purchases of petroleum products resulting from the processing
activities at the Jonah Pioneer plant were $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Pioneers processing agreements allowed the producers to elect annually whether to be charged under
a fee-based arrangement or a fee plus
67
keep-whole arrangement. Under the fee-based election, Jonah received a fee for its processing services.
Under the fee plus keep-whole election, Jonah received a lower fee for its processing services,
retained and sold the NGLs extracted during the process and delivered to producers the residue gas
equivalent in energy to the natural gas received from the producers. Jonah sold the NGLs it
retained and purchased gas to replace the equivalent energy removed in the liquids. For the 2006
period, the producers elected the fee plus keep-whole arrangement.
Interest Expense and Capitalized Interest
Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
Interest expense increased $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to $2.5 million of expense
reductions recorded in the second quarter of 2006 related to interest rate swaps.
Interest expense also increased in the second quarter of 2007, compared to the second quarter of 2006, due to the issuance of our 7.000% fixed-rate Junior Subordinated Notes in May 2007, which proceeds were primarily used to
repay outstanding balances under our variable-rate revolving credit facility. The fixed-rate Junior Subordinated Notes
carried a higher interest rate than the current floating interest rate under the revolving credit facility.
Capitalized interest decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared
with the three months ended June 30, 2006, as a result of the completion of projects, partially
offset by higher construction work-in-progress balances in the 2007 period as compared to the 2006
period.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
Interest expense increased $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to $2.5 million of expense reductions recorded in the second quarter of 2006 related to interest rate swaps. Interest expense also increased in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2006, due to higher short-term floating interest rates in 2007 and due
to the issuance of our 7.000% fixed-rate Junior Subordinated Notes in May 2007 as noted above,
partially offset by lower outstanding balances on our variable rate revolving credit facility.
Capitalized interest increased $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared
with the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to higher construction work-in-progress balances in
2007 as compared to the 2006 period.
Income Taxes Texas Margin Tax
Provision for income taxes is applicable to our state tax obligations under the Texas Margin
Tax enacted in May 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded a $0.9 million
current tax liability and a $0.7 million reduction to deferred tax liability. The offsetting net
charge consisting of a reduction to deferred tax expense of $0.7 million and an increase in current
income tax expense of $0.9 million is shown on our statements of consolidated income for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 as provision for income taxes. During the six months ended June 30,
2006, we recorded an estimated deferred tax liability of approximately $0.5 million associated with
the Texas Margin Tax. The non-cash offsetting charge is shown on our consolidated statements of
income as deferred income tax expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
Cash generated from operations, credit facilities and debt and equity offerings are our
primary sources of liquidity. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had working capital
deficits of $45.9 million and $9.8 million, respectively. At June 30, 2007, we had approximately
$484.7 million in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility to cover any
working capital needs. Cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, were as follows

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities increased $57.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to an
increase of $53.0 million in distributions received from our equity investments in Jonah and MB
Storage and an increase due to the timing of cash receipts and cash disbursements for other working
capital components, partially offset by an increase of $7.0 million in crude oil inventory (as
discussed below) and a decrease of $1.1 million in distributions received from our equity
investment in Seaway. For a discussion of changes in earnings before interest, depreciation and
amortization expense, equity earnings, gains on sales of assets, income from discontinued
operations and consolidated interest expense net, see Results of Operations for the Downstream
Segment, Upstream Segment and Midstream Segment above.
As part of our crude oil marketing activity, we purchase crude oil and simultaneously enter
into offsetting sales contracts for physical delivery in future periods. These transactions result
in an increase in the amount of inventory carried on our books until the crude oil is sold. The
substantial majority of inventory related to these contracts as of June 30, 2006 was contracted for
sale in the third quarter of 2006. At June 30, 2006, these transactions
and other crude oil operating inventory changes represented a $7.8 million increase in the
amount of
69
inventory recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as compared to December 31, 2005.
The substantial majority of inventory related to these contracts as of June 30, 2007 has been
contracted for sale in the third quarter of 2007; however, new contracts may be executed, resulting
in higher inventory balances being held in future balance sheet periods. At June 30, 2007, these
transactions and other crude oil operating inventory changes represented a $14.8 million increase
in the amount of inventory recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as compared to December 31,
2006.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
included interest payments, net of amounts capitalized, of $43.9 million and $42.1 million,
respectively. Excluding the effects of hedging activities and interest capitalized during the year
ended December 31, 2007, we expect interest payments on our fixed rate Senior Notes and Junior
Subordinated Notes for 2007 to be approximately $88.3 million. We expect to make our interest
payments with cash flows from operating activities.
Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $60.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 2007, and were comprised of $109.8 million of capital expenditures, $86.2 million of cash
contributions for our ownership interest in the Jonah joint venture with Enterprise (primarily for
capital expenditures on its Phase V expansion), $15.1 million of cash paid for linefill on assets
owned, $11.1 million of cash contributions for our ownership interest in Centennial, of which $6.1
million was for contractual obligations that were created upon formation of Centennial and $5.0
million was for debt service requirements and $2.5 million of cash paid to a customer as part of a
reimbursable commitment, partially offset by $164.1 million in net cash proceeds from asset sales
and ownership interests, which includes $137.6 million from the sale of TE Products ownership
interests in MB Storage and its general partner and $18.5 million for the sale of other Downstream
Segment assets, all to Louis Dreyfus on March 1, 2007, and $8.0 million for the sale of Downstream
Segment assets to Enterprise in January 2007 (see Note 9 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements). Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $48.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2006, and were comprised of $82.5 million of capital expenditures, $2.5 million of
cash contributions for TE Products ownership interest in Centennial for operating needs, $1.7
million of cash contributions for TE Products ownership interest in MB Storage for capital
expenditures and $1.4 million of cash paid for linefill on assets owned, partially offset by $39.8
million in net cash proceeds from asset sales in our Midstream Segment, of which $38.0 million
related to cash proceeds received from the sale of the Pioneer plant on March 31, 2006 to
Enterprise.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $138.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 2007, and were comprised of $290.0 million in repayments, net of borrowings, under our
revolving credit facility and $146.0 million of distributions paid to our General Partner and to
unitholders, partially offset by $295.8 million from the issuance in May 2007 of our 7.000% Junior
Subordinated Notes due June 2067 (net of debt issuance costs of $3.7 million) and $1.6 million in
proceeds from the termination of treasury locks in May 2007. Cash flows used in financing
activities totaled $94.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and were comprised of
$133.8 million of distributions paid to our General Partner and to unitholders, partially offset by
$39.1 million in borrowings, net of repayments, on our revolving credit facility.
We paid cash distributions of $146.0 million ($1.360 per Unit) and $133.8 million ($1.350 per
Unit) during each of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Additionally, we
declared a cash distribution of $0.685 per Unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. We will pay
the distribution of $73.6 million on August 7, 2007 to unitholders of record on July 31, 2007.

Other Considerations
Universal Shelf
We have filed with the SEC a universal shelf registration statement that, subject to agreement
on terms at the time of use and appropriate supplementation, allows us to issue, in one or more
offerings, up to an aggregate of $2.0 billion of equity securities, debt securities or a
combination thereof. In the May 2007 debt offering, we issued $300.0 million of debt securities.
At June 30, 2007, we have remaining approximately $1.2 billion of availability under this shelf
registration, subject to customary marketing terms and conditions.
Credit Facility
We have in place a $700.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, including the issuance
of letters of credit (Revolving Credit Facility), which matures on December 13, 2011. We may
request up to two one-year extensions of the maturity date, subject to lender approval and
satisfaction of certain other conditions. Commitments under the credit facility may be increased
up to a maximum of $850.0 million upon our request, subject to lender approval and the satisfaction
of certain other conditions. The interest rate is based, at our option, on either the lenders
base rate plus a spread, or LIBOR plus a spread in effect at the time of the borrowings. Financial
covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility require that we maintain a ratio of Consolidated Funded
Debt to Pro Forma EBITDA (as defined and calculated in the facility) of less than 4.75 to 1.00
(subject to adjustment for specified acquisitions) and a ratio of EBITDA to Interest Expense (as
defined and calculated in the facility) of at least 3.00 to 1.00, in each case with respect to
specified twelve month periods. Other restrictive covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility limit
our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make distributions in excess of
Available Cash (see Note 12 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements), incur liens,
engage in specified transactions with affiliates and complete mergers, acquisitions and sales of
assets. The credit agreement restricts the amount of outstanding debt of the Jonah joint venture
to debt owing to the owners of its partnership interests and other third-party debt in the
principal aggregate amount of $50.0 million and allows for the issuance of certain hybrid
securities (as defined therein) of up to 15% of our Consolidated Total Capitalization (as defined
therein). In May 2007, we repaid approximately $295.0 million of the then outstanding balance of
the Revolving Credit Facility with proceeds received from the issuance of Junior Subordinated
Notes. At June 30, 2007, $200.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at a
weighted average interest rate of 5.86%. At June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with the
covenants of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Junior Subordinated Notes
In May 2007, we issued and sold $300.0 million in principal amount of fixed/floating,
unsecured, long-term Junior Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2067. We used the proceeds from this
subordinated debt to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility
and for general partnership purposes. Our payment obligations under the Junior Subordinated Notes
are subordinated to all of our current and future senior indebtedness (as defined in the related
indenture). The Subsidiary Guarantors have jointly and severally guaranteed, on a junior
subordinated basis, payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Junior
Subordinated Notes.
The indenture governing the Junior Subordinated Notes does not limit our ability to incur
additional debt, including debt that ranks senior to or equally with the Junior Subordinated Notes.
The indenture allows us to defer interest payments on one or more occasions for up to ten
consecutive years, subject to certain conditions. The indenture also provides that during any
period in which we defer interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes, subject to certain
exceptions, (i) we cannot declare or make any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase or
make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of our equity securities; (ii) neither we nor the
Subsidiary Guarantors will make, and we and the Subsidiary Guarantors will cause our respective
majority-owned subsidiaries not to make, any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, on
or repay, purchase or redeem any
of our or the Subsidiary Guarantors debt securities (including securities similar to the
Junior Subordinated Notes)
71
that contractually rank equally with or junior to the Junior
Subordinated Notes or the guarantees, as applicable; and (iii) neither we nor the Subsidiary
Guarantors will make, and we and the Subsidiary Guarantors will cause our respective majority-owned
subsidiaries not to make, any payments under a guarantee of debt securities (including under a
guarantee of debt securities that are similar to the Junior Subordinated Notes) that contractually
ranks equally with or junior to the Junior Subordinated Notes or the guarantees, as applicable.
The Junior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 7.000% from May 2007 to
June 1, 2017, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing
December 1, 2007. After June 1, 2017, the Junior Subordinated Notes will bear interest at a
variable annual rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR rate for the related interest period plus 2.7775%,
payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year commencing
September 1, 2017. Interest payments may be deferred on a cumulative basis for up to ten
consecutive years, subject to certain provisions. Deferred interest will accumulate additional
interest at the then-prevailing interest rate on the Junior Subordinated Notes. The Junior
Subordinated Notes mature in June 2067. The Junior Subordinated Notes are redeemable in whole or
in part prior to June 1, 2017 for a make-whole redemption price and thereafter at a redemption
price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest. The Junior Subordinated Notes
are also redeemable prior to June 1, 2017 in whole (but not in part) upon the occurrence of certain
tax or rating agency events at specified redemption prices.
In connection with the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes, we and our Subsidiary
Guarantors entered into a replacement capital covenant in favor of holders of a designated series
of senior long-term indebtedness (as provided in the underlying documents) pursuant to which we and
our Subsidiary Guarantors agreed for the benefit of such debt holders that they would not redeem or
repurchase or otherwise satisfy, discharge or defease any of the Junior Subordinated Notes on or
before June 1, 2037, unless, subject to certain limitations, during the 180 days prior to the date
of that redemption, repurchase, defeasance or purchase, we have or one of our subsidiaries has
received a specified amount of proceeds from the sale of qualifying securities that have
characteristics that are the same as, or more equity-like than, the applicable characteristics of
the Junior Subordinated Notes. The replacement capital covenant is not a term of the indenture or
the Junior Subordinated Notes.
Future Capital Needs and Commitments
We estimate that capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions and joint venture contributions,
for 2007 will be approximately $301.0 million (including $8.0 million of capitalized interest). We
expect to spend approximately $248.0 million for revenue generating projects. We expect to spend
approximately $49.0 million to sustain existing operations (including $23.0 million for pipeline
integrity) including life-cycle replacements for equipment at various facilities and pipeline and
tank replacements among all of our business segments. We expect to spend approximately $4.0
million to improve operational efficiencies and reduce costs among all of our business segments.
Additionally, we expect to invest approximately $150.0 million (including $5.0 million of
capitalized interest) in our Jonah joint venture for the construction of the Phase V expansion
during 2007 and approximately $32.0 million for other capital expenditures. Amounts related to
Jonah capital expenditures are reported as joint venture contributions due to the deconsolidation
of Jonah on August 1, 2006.
During 2007, TE Products may be required to contribute additional cash to Centennial to cover
capital expenditures or other operating needs. We continually review and evaluate potential
capital improvements and expansions that would be complementary to our present business operations.
These expenditures can vary greatly depending on the magnitude of our transactions. We may
finance capital expenditures through internally generated funds, debt or the issuance of additional
equity.
Liquidity Outlook
We believe that we will continue to have adequate liquidity to fund future recurring operating
and investing activities. Our primary cash requirements consist of normal operating expenses,
capital expenditures to sustain
existing operations and to complete the Jonah expansion, revenue generating expenditures, interest
payments
72
on our Senior Notes, Junior Subordinated Notes and Revolving Credit Facility,
distributions to our unitholders and General Partner and acquisitions of new assets or businesses.
Our operating cash requirements and capital expenditures to sustain existing operations for 2007
are expected to be funded through our cash flows from operating activities. Long-term cash
requirements for expansion projects, acquisitions and debt repayments are expected to be funded by
several sources, including cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under credit
facilities, joint venture distributions and possibly the issuance of additional equity and debt
securities. Our ability to complete future debt and equity offerings and the timing of any such
offerings will depend on various factors, including prevailing market conditions, interest rates,
our financial condition and our credit rating at the time.
The 6.45% TE Products Senior Notes due in January 2008 are classified as a long-term liability
in our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 6, Classification of Short-Term Obligations Expected to be
Refinanced. We have the ability to use available credit capacity under our Revolving Credit
Facility to fund the repayment of these Senior Notes. We expect to repay the long-term, senior and
junior unsecured obligations through the issuance of additional long-term senior or junior
unsecured debt at the time the 2008, 2012, 2013, 2028 and 2067 debts mature, issuance of additional
equity, with proceeds from dispositions of assets, cash flow from operations or any combination of
the above items.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not rely on off-balance sheet borrowings to fund our acquisitions. We have no material
off-balance sheet commitments for indebtedness other than the limited guaranty of Centennial debt,
the limited guarantee of Centennial catastrophic events as discussed below and an outstanding
letter of credit (see Note 11 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition,
we have entered into various off-balance sheet leases covering assets utilized in several areas of
our operations.
Centennial entered into credit facilities totaling $150.0 million, and at June 30, 2007,
$140.0 million was outstanding under those credit facilities and expires 2024. In April 2007,
$10.0 million matured and was repaid by Centennial. TE Products and Marathon Petroleum Company LLC
(Marathon) have each guaranteed one-half of the repayment of Centennials outstanding debt
balance (plus interest) under these credit facilities. If Centennial defaults on its outstanding
balance, the estimated maximum potential amount of future payments for TE Products and Marathon is
$70.0 million each at June 30, 2007. Provisions included in the $140.0 million Centennial credit
facility required that certain financial metrics be achieved and for the guarantees to be removed
by May 2007. These metrics were not achieved, and the provisions of the Centennial debt agreements
were amended in May 2007 to require the guarantees to remain throughout the life of the debt. As a
result of the guarantee, TE Products recorded an obligation of $9.9 million, which represents the
present value of the estimated amount, based on a probability estimate, we would have to pay under
the guarantee.
TE Products, Marathon and Centennial have entered into a limited cash call agreement, which
allows each member to contribute cash in lieu of Centennial procuring separate insurance in the
event of a third-party liability arising from a catastrophic event. There is an indefinite term
for the agreement and each member is to contribute cash in proportion to its ownership interest, up
to a maximum of $50.0 million each. As a result of the catastrophic event guarantee, TE Products
recorded a $4.2 million obligation, which represents the present value of the estimated amount,
based on a probability estimate, we would have to pay under the guarantee. If a catastrophic event
were to occur and we were required to contribute cash to Centennial, contributions exceeding our
deductible might be covered by our insurance, depending upon the nature of the catastrophic event.
One of our subsidiaries, TCO, has entered into master equipment lease agreements with finance
companies for the use of various equipment. We have guaranteed the full and timely payment and
performance of TCOs obligations under the agreements. Generally, events of default would trigger
our performance under the guarantee. The maximum potential amount of future payments under the
guarantee is not estimable, but would include base rental payments for both current and future
equipment, stipulated loss payments in the event any equipment is
stolen, damaged, or destroyed and any future indemnity payments. We carry insurance coverage that
may offset
73
any payments required under the guarantees. We do not believe that any performance
under the guarantee would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows.
Contractual Obligations
In May 2007, we issued $300.0 million of Junior Subordinated Notes due June 2067. Other than
the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes, there have been no significant changes in our
schedule of maturities of long-term debt or other contractual obligations since the year ended
December 31, 2006.

issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes as of June 30, 2007 (in millions):

Our TE Products subsidiary entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge its
exposure to changes in the fair value of its 7.51% Senior Notes due 2028. At June 30,
2007, the 7.51% Senior Notes include an adjustment to decrease the fair value of the debt
by $9.3 million related to this interest rate swap agreement. We also entered into
interest rate swap agreements to hedge our exposure to changes in the fair value of our
7.625% Senior Notes due 2012. At June 30, 2007, the 7.625% Senior Notes include a
deferred gain, net of amortization, from previous interest rate swap terminations of $25.6
million. At June 30, 2007, our 6.45% Senior Notes, our 7.625% Senior Notes, our 6.125%
Senior Notes and our 7.00% Junior Subordinated Notes include $2.3 million of unamortized
debt discounts. The fair value adjustments, the deferred gain adjustment and the
unamortized debt discounts are excluded from this table. |
(3) |
|
In accordance with SFAS No. 6, Classification of Short-Term Obligations Expected to be
Refinanced, we have classified our 6.45% TE Products Senior Notes due in January 2008 as long-term
(see Note 11 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information).
|
(4) |
|
Includes interest payments due on our Senior Notes and Junior Subordinated Notes and
interest payments and commitment fees due on our Revolving Credit Facility. The interest
amounts calculated on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Junior Subordinated Notes are
based on the assumption that the amounts outstanding and the interest rates charged both
remain at their current levels. |
Credit Ratings
Our debt securities and those of our subsidiary, TE Products, are rated BBB- by Standard and
Poors (S&P) and Baa3 by Moodys Investors Service (Moodys). S&Ps rating is with a stable
outlook while Moodys rating is with a negative outlook. A rating reflects only the view of a
rating agency and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any indebtedness. Any rating can be
revised upward or downward or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency if it determines that the
circumstances warrant such a change and should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
Based upon the characteristics of the fixed/floating unsecured Junior Subordinated Notes that
we issued in May 2007, the rating agencies assigned partial equity treatment to the notes. Moodys
and S&P each assigned 50% equity treatment to the notes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See discussion of new accounting pronouncements in Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We may be exposed to market risk through changes in crude oil commodity prices and interest
rates. We do not have foreign exchange risks. Our Risk Management Committee has established
policies to monitor and control these market risks. The Risk Management Committee is comprised, in
part, of senior executives of the General Partner. For additional discussion of our exposure to
market risks, please refer to Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Commodity Risk
We seek to maintain a position that is substantially balanced between crude oil purchases and
sales and future delivery obligations. We take the normal purchase and normal sale exclusion in
accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and
SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, where permitted.
As part of our crude oil marketing business, we enter into derivative contracts such as swaps
and other business hedging devices. Generally, we elect hedge accounting where permitted under
SFAS 133. The terms of these contracts are typically one year or less. The purpose is to balance
our position or lock in a margin and, as such, the derivative contracts do not expose us to
additional significant market risk. For derivatives where hedge accounting is elected, the
effective portion of changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income and
reclassified into earnings as such transactions are settled. For derivatives where hedge
accounting is not elected, we
mark these transactions to market and the changes in the fair value are recognized in current
earnings. This results in some financial statement variability during quarterly periods.
74
At June 30, 2007, we had some commodity derivatives that were accounted for as cash flow
hedges. Gains and losses on these derivatives are offset against corresponding gains or losses of
the hedged item and are deferred through other comprehensive income, thus minimizing exposure to
cash flow risk. In addition, we had some commodity derivatives that did not qualify for hedge
accounting. The fair value of the open positions at June 30, 2007 was $1.3 million. Assuming a
hypothetical across-the-board 10% price decrease in the forward curve, the change in fair value of
the hedging instrument would have been $1.6 million. The fair value of the open positions was
based upon both quoted market prices obtained from NYMEX and from other sources such as independent
reporting services, industry publications, brokers and marketers. The fair values were
determined based upon the differences by month between the fixed contract price and the relevant
forward price curve, the volumes for the applicable month and applicable discount rate.
Interest Rate Risk
We have utilized and expect to continue to utilize interest rate swap agreements to hedge a
portion of our cash flow and fair value risks. Interest rate swap agreements are used to manage
the fixed and floating interest rate mix of our total debt portfolio and overall cost of borrowing.
Interest rate swaps that manage our cash flow risk reduce our exposure to increases in the
benchmark interest rates underlying variable rate debt. Interest rate swaps that manage our fair
value risks are intended to reduce our exposure to changes in the fair value of the fixed rate
debt. Interest rate swap agreements involve the periodic exchange of payments without the exchange
of the notional amount upon which the payments are based. The related amount payable to or
receivable from counterparties is included as an adjustment to accrued interest.
At June 30, 2007, we had $200.0 million outstanding under our variable interest rate revolving
credit facility. The interest rate is based, at our option, on either the lenders base rate plus
a spread or LIBOR plus a spread in effect at the time of the borrowings and is adjusted monthly,
bimonthly, quarterly or semiannually. On January 20, 2006, we entered into interest rate swap
agreements with a total notional amount of $200.0 million to hedge our exposure to increases in the
benchmark interest rate underlying our variable rate revolving credit facility. These interest
rate swaps mature in January 2008. Under the swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate of interest
ranging from 4.67% to 4.695% and receive a floating rate based on a three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR
rate. In the third quarter of 2006, these swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. For the
period from January 20, 2006 through the date these swaps were designated as cash flow hedges,
changes in the fair value of the swaps were recognized in earnings, which resulted in a $2.2
million reduction to interest expense. While these interest rate swaps remain in effect, future
changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges, to the extent the swaps are effective, will be
recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged interest costs are recognized in
earnings. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the fair values of these interest rate swaps
were assets of $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Utilizing the balances of our variable
interest rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2007, and including the effects of hedging activities,
if market interest rates increased 100 basis points, the annual increase in interest expense
related to our revolving credit facility would be a nominal amount. These interest rate swaps
were de-designated as cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2007.
In October 2001, TE Products entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge its
exposure to changes in the fair value of its fixed rate 7.51% Senior Notes due 2028. We designated
this swap agreement as a fair value hedge. The swap agreement has a notional amount of $210.0
million and matures in January 2028 to match the principal and maturity of the TE Products Senior
Notes. Under the swap agreement, TE Products pays a floating rate of interest based on a
three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate, plus a spread of 147 basis points, and receives a fixed rate of
interest of 7.51%. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized reductions in
interest expense of $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, related to the difference between
the fixed rate and the floating rate of interest on the interest rate swap. During the quarters
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we reviewed the hedge effectiveness of this interest rate swap and
noted that no gain or loss from ineffectiveness was required to be
recognized. The fair values of this interest rate swap were liabilities of approximately $9.3
million and $2.6 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Utilizing the
balance of the 7.51% TE Products Senior Notes outstanding at June 30, 2007, and including the
effects of hedging activities, if market interest rates increased 100 basis points, the annual
increase in interest expense would be $2.1 million.
75
In June 2007, we executed a forward treasury rate lock agreement that extend through January
31, 2008 for a notional amount of $50.0 million. This agreement, which is a derivative instrument,
has been designated as a cash flow hedge to offset our exposure to increases in the underlying U.S.
Treasury benchmark rate that is expected to be used to establish the fixed interest rate for debt
that we expect to incur in 2008. The rate under the treasury lock agreement is 5.112%. The actual
coupon rate of the expected debt will be comprised of the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate,
plus a credit spread premium at the date of issuance. At June 30, 2007, the fair value of the
treasury lock was a liability of $0.2 million. To the extent effective, gains and losses on the
value of the treasury lock will be deferred until the forecasted debt is issued and will be
amortized to earnings over the life of the debt. No ineffectiveness was recognized as of June 30,
2007.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, our management carried out an evaluation,
with the participation of our principal executive officer (the CEO) and our principal financial
officer (the CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on those evaluations, as of the end of
the period covered by the report, the CEO and CFO concluded:
|
(i) |
|
that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and |
|
|
(ii) |
|
that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the second
quarter of 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
The certifications of our General Partners CEO and CFO required under Sections 302 and 906 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been included as exhibits to this Report.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We have been, in the ordinary course of business, a defendant in various lawsuits and a party
to various other legal proceedings, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. We
believe that the outcome of these lawsuits and other proceedings will not individually or in the
aggregate have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. See discussion of legal proceedings in Note 16 in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated into this item by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Security holders and potential investors in our securities should carefully consider the risk
factors set forth below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006,
in addition to other information in such Annual Report and this Report. We are identifying these
risk factors as important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from
those contained in any written or oral forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us.
Risks Relating to Our Business
The success of our Jonah gas gathering operations is substantially dependent upon Enterprise.
We own our interest in the Jonah gas gathering system, which represents a significant
component of our Midstream Segment and its potential for future growth, through a joint venture
with Enterprise, which is under common control with us by EPCO and its affiliates, including
Enterprise GP Holdings. The joint venture is governed by a management committee comprised of two
representatives approved by an Enterprise affiliate and two representatives approved by
subsidiaries of ours. We expect to ultimately own an approximate 80% interest in the joint
venture, with Enterprises affiliate owning the remaining approximate 20%. However, each
representative on the management committee is entitled to one vote, and the joint venture agreement
generally requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the management committee to
approve an action. Moreover, Enterprise is responsible for managing construction of the Phase V
expansion of the system. We expect to reimburse Enterprise for approximately 50% of these
construction costs. To the extent the costs exceed an agreed upon base cost estimate of $415.2
million, we and Enterprise will each pay our respective ownership share (approximately 80% and 20%,
respectively) of such costs. We and Enterprise may not always agree on the best course of action
for the joint venture. If such a disagreement were to occur, we would not be able to cause the
joint venture to take action that we believed to be in our best interests. Further, Enterprise may
experience unanticipated delays or costs in construction or operation of the project, which could
require additional capital contributions by us and Enterprise or diminish expected benefits from
the project. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our results of operations,
financial condition and prospects.
Our partnership status may be a disadvantage to us in calculating our cost of service for
rate-making purposes.
In May 2005, FERC issued a policy statement permitting the inclusion of an income tax
allowance in the cost of service-based rates of a pipeline organized as a tax pass through
partnership entity to reflect actual or potential income tax liability on public utility income, if
the pipeline proves that the ultimate owner of its interests has an actual or potential income tax
liability on such income. The policy statement also provides that whether a pipelines owners have
such actual or potential income tax liability will be reviewed by FERC on a case-by-case basis. In
August 2005, FERC dismissed requests for rehearing of its new policy statement. On December 16,
2005, FERC issued its first significant case-specific review of the income tax allowance issue in
another pipeline partnerships rate case. FERC reaffirmed its new income tax allowance policy and
directed the subject pipeline to provide certain evidence necessary for the pipeline to determine
its income tax allowance. The new tax allowance policy and the December 16,
2005 order were appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
77
Columbia
Circuit. The D.C. Circuit issued an order on May 29, 2007 in which it denied these
appeals and fully upheld FERCs new tax allowance policy and the application of that policy in the
December 16 order. A petition for rehearing was filed in the case on July 13, 2007.
On December 8, 2006, FERC issued a new order addressing rates on another pipeline. In the new
order, FERC refined its income tax allowance policy, and notably raised a new issue regarding the
implication of the policy statement for publicly traded partnerships. It noted that the tax
deferral features of a publicly traded partnership may cause some investors to receive, for some
indeterminate duration, cash distributions in excess of their taxable income, which FERC
characterized as a tax savings. FERC stated that it is concerned that this created an opportunity
for those investors to earn an additional return, funded by ratepayers. Responding to this concern,
FERC chose to adjust the pipelines equity rate of return downward based on the percentage by which
the publicly traded partnerships cash flow exceeded taxable income. On February 7, 2007, the
pipeline asked FERC to reconsider this ruling, and FERC granted rehearing on March 9, 2007.
The ultimate outcome of these proceedings is not certain and could result in changes to FERCs
treatment of income tax allowances in cost of service. Currently, none of our tariffs are
calculated using cost of service rate methodologies. If, however, in the future our tariffs are
calculated using a cost of service rate methodology and the policy statement on income tax
allowances is modified on judicial review, our revenues might be adversely affected.
Risks Relating to Our Units as a Result of Our Partnership Structure
The credit and risk profile of our General Partner and its owners could adversely affect our credit
ratings and profile, which could increase our borrowing costs or hinder our ability to raise
capital.
The credit and business risk profiles of the general partner or owners of the general partner
may be factors in credit evaluations of a master limited partnership. This is because the general
partner can exercise significant influence over the business activities of the partnership,
including its cash distribution and acquisition strategy and business risk profile. Another factor
that may be considered is the financial condition of the general partner and its owners, including
the degree of their financial leverage and their dependence on cash flow from the partnership to
service their indebtedness.
Entities controlling the owner of our General Partner have significant indebtedness
outstanding and are dependent principally on the cash distributions from the general partner and
limited partner equity interests in us, Enterprise GP Holdings, Enterprise and Energy Transfer
Equity, L.P. to service such indebtedness. Any distributions by us to such entities will be made
only after satisfying our then current obligations to our creditors. Although we have taken certain
steps in our organizational structure, financial reporting and contractual relationships to reflect
our separateness from our General Partner and the entities that control our General Partner, our
credit ratings and business risk profile could be adversely affected if the ratings and risk
profiles of Dan L. Duncan or the entities that control our General Partner were viewed as
substantially lower or more risky than ours. In addition, the 100% membership interest in our
General Partner and the 4,400,000 of our Units that are owned by Enterprise GP Holdings are pledged
under Enterprise GP Holdings credit facility. Enterprise GP Holdings credit facility contains
customary and other events of default. Upon an event of default, the lenders under Enterprise GP
Holdings credit facility could foreclose on Enterprise GP Holdings assets, which could ultimately
result in a change in control of our General Partner and a change in the ownership of our Units
held by Enterprise GP Holdings.
Control of our General Partner may be transferred to a third party without unitholder consent.
Our General Partner may transfer its general partner interest to a third party in a merger or
in a sale of all or substantially all of its assets without the consent of the unitholders.
Furthermore, our Partnership Agreement does
not restrict the ability of the owners of our General Partner or Enterprise GP Holdings from
transferring all or a
78
portion of their respective ownership interest in our General Partner or
Enterprise GP Holdings to a third party. Such a third party would then be in a position to replace
the board of directors and officers of our General Partner with its own choices and thereby
influence the decisions taken by the board of directors and officers.
Tax Risks to Unitholders
We have adopted certain methodologies that may result in a shift of income, gain, loss and
deduction between the General Partner and our unitholders. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
may challenge this treatment, which could adversely affect the value of our Units.
When we issue additional Units or engage in certain other transactions, we determine the fair
market value of our assets and allocate any unrealized gain or loss attributable to our assets to
the capital accounts of our unitholders and our General Partner. Our methodology may be viewed as
understating the value of our assets. In that case, there may be a shift of income, gain, loss and
deduction between certain unitholders and the General Partner, which may be unfavorable to such
unitholders. Moreover, under this methodology, subsequent purchasers of Units may have a greater
portion of their Internal Revenue Code Section 743(b) adjustment allocated to our tangible assets
and a lesser portion allocated to our intangible assets. The IRS may challenge our methods, or our
allocation of the Section 743(b) adjustment attributable to our tangible and intangible assets, and
allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction between the General Partner and certain of our
unitholders.
A successful IRS challenge to these methods or allocations could adversely affect the amount
of taxable income or loss being allocated to our unitholders. It also could affect the amount of
gain from our unitholders sale of Units and could have a negative impact on the value of the Units
or result in audit adjustments to our unitholders tax returns without the benefit of additional
deductions.
Item 5. Other Information.
On May 22, 2007, the ACG Committee approved the grant of restricted Units, unit appreciation
rights and unit options to the current named executive officers pursuant to the EPCO, Inc. 2006 TPP
Long-Term Incentive Plan, the form of grant filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 and the forms of grants

Agent).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent are parties to a certain
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2004, as amended by a certain First

WHEREAS, the Borrower has advised the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that it proposes to
cause certain of its Subsidiaries that are Delaware limited partnerships to be converted into Texas
limited partnerships, and to merge such Subsidiaries with and into newly organized Texas limited
liability companies, and in connection with such conversion and merger transactions the Borrower
has requested that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent amend the Credit Agreement and waive
any Potential Defaults or Events of Default that may be deemed to occur or result from such
conversion and merger transactions, all as set forth in this Amendment, and subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Lenders are willing to do so;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of all of
which are acknowledged, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:

PUG06 ___ |
|
|
Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company LLC (the General Partner) is pleased to inform you
that you have been granted the number of Phantom Units set forth above under the EPCO, Inc. 2006
TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan). A Phantom Unit is a contractual right to receive a Unit
of TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (the Partnership) that is subject to the forfeiture and
non-transferability provisions set forth below in this Agreement. Upon the payment date specified
herein, the holder of the Phantom Unit is entitled to receive cash equal to the then Fair Market
Value of a Unit. The terms of the grant are as follows:
1. The Phantom Units shall become payable on the earlier of (i) the fourth anniversary of the
Date of Grant set forth above or (ii) the date on which you are no longer a director of the General
Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner (the earlier of (i) or (ii) above is hereinafter
referred to as the Payment Date). For this purpose, transferring as Director from the General
Partner to an Affiliate, or vice versa, will not result in payment of the Phantom Units under (ii),
above.
2. Upon the Payment Date, cash will be delivered to you with respect to each Phantom Unit, equal to the then Fair Market Value of a Unit.
3. For each calendar quarter in the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending upon the Payment Date, you will receive a cash payment within such calendar quarter equal to the product of (i) the cash distributions paid during such calendar quarter with respect to a Unit, if any, times (ii) the number of Phantom Units subject to this grant (such payments are
hereinafter referred to as the DERs).
4. None of the Phantom Units or DERs 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 Phantom Units or DERs granted hereby to you (the Awarded
Units), the Awarded Units shall automatically and immediately be forfeited and cancelled without
payment on such date.
5. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer any right on you to continue as a
director of the General Partner or its Affiliates or restrict the members of the General Partner
from not re-electing you as a director of the General Partner or its Affiliates at any time.
6. To the extent that the grant or vesting of a Phantom Unit results in the receipt of
compensation by you with respect to which the General Partner or an Affiliate has a tax withholding
obligation pursuant to applicable law, unless you make other arrangements that are acceptable to
the General Partner or such Affiliate, you must deliver to the General Partner or the Affiliate
such amount of money as the General Partner or the Affiliate may
require to meet its tax withholding obligations under such applicable law.
7. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be
obligated to deliver to you any payment if counsel to the General Partner determines such delivery
would violate any law or regulation of any governmental authority or agreement between the General
Partner or the Partnership and any national securities exchange upon which the Units are listed or
any policy of the General Partner or any Affiliate of the Company.
8. These Phantom
Units and DERs 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 Committee, in its discretion, to amend your Phantom 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
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.

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 10.1 Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law but subject to the limitations expressly provided
in this Agreement, the Manager, the Members and any Person who is or was an officer or director of
the Manager (each, an Indemnitee) shall each be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint or several),
expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties,
interest, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or
proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnitee may
be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as
an Indemnitee; provided, that the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless if there
has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction
determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification
pursuant to this Section 10.1, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful
misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitees conduct
was unlawful. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall be made only out of the
assets of the Company, it being agreed that the Members shall
not
-5-
be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation to contribute or
loan any monies or property to the Company to enable it to effectuate such indemnification.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including, without limitation, legal
fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or
proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of
such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or
on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is
not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 10.1.
(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 10.1 shall be in addition to any other rights
to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise, both
as to actions in the Indemnitees capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other
capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity.
(d) The Company may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the Manager or its Affiliates for the
cost of) insurance, on behalf of the Manager and such other Persons as the Manager shall determine,
against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by such Person
in connection with the Companys activities, whether or not the Company would have the power to
indemnify such Person against such liabilities under the provisions of this Agreement.
(e) In no event shall the Members be subjected to personal liability by reason of the
indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement, whether by action of an Indemnitee or
otherwise.
(f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section
10.1 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the
indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
(g) The provisions of this Section 10.1 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs,
successors and assigns and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other
Persons.
(h) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 10.1 or any provision hereof shall in
any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be
indemnified by the Company, nor the obligation of the Company to indemnify any such Indemnitee
under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1 as in effect immediately prior to
such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters
occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when
such claims may arise or be asserted.
(i) THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 10.1 ARE INTENDED BY THE
PARTIES TO APPLY EVEN IF SUCH PROVISIONS HAVE THE EFFECT OF EXCULPATING THE INDEMNITEE FROM LEGAL
-6-
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH PERSONS NEGLIGENCE, FAULT OR OTHER CONDUCT.
Section 10.2 Liability of Indemnitees.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall
be liable for monetary damages to the Company or any Member for losses sustained or liabilities
incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee unless there has been a final and
non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect
of the matter in question, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful
misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitees conduct
was criminal.
(b) Subject to its obligations and duties as the Manager set forth in Article VI, the Manager
may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties
imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents, and the Manager shall not be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the Manager
in good faith.
(c) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 10.2 or any provision hereof shall
