(“OLPGP”) and Enterprise Products Operating LLC (“EPO”) completed the public offering of $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of EPO’s 4.05% Senior Notes CC due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) and $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of EPO’s 5.70% Senior Notes DD due 2042 (the “2042 Notes,” and together with the 2022 Notes the “Notes”). Pursuant to the indentures described below, the Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by the Partnership (the “Guarantee,” and together with the Notes, the “Securities”).

     The Securities were issued under an Indenture, dated as of October 4, 2004 (the “Indenture”), among EPO (as successor to Enterprise Products Operating L.P.), as issuer, the Partnership, as guarantor, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, (collectively, as amended and supplemented by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 30, 2007, providing for EPO as successor issuer, the “Base Indenture”) as amended and supplemented by the Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 24, 2011 (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).

     The Notes provide that interest will accrue from August 24, 2011 at a rate of 4.05% per annum for the 2022 Notes and 5.70% per annum for the 2042 Notes. Interest will be payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2012 for the Notes. The 2022 Notes mature on February 15, 2022 and the 2042 Notes mature on February 15, 2042. The Notes also provide that EPO may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time at the applicable redemption price that includes accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole premium.
